[There's shuffling, and Lithuania's voice sounds hoarse when he speaks, not strong or happy or caring or sad as normally... Not eternally nervous like it will be much later in his live, or really scared, but there definitely is a hint of broken-ess in his tone.

Everyone is free to have noticed that Lithuania wasn't around at all after the first day, and Poland will have noticed that his partner has neither said much nor reacted to much at all after that. Everyone has different ways to deal with fear, and Lithuania's problem was that the fear had no obvious source.]


I'm sorry.

[Nods, with a grim, exhausted smile, and strokes Liet's cheek affectionately]

Like, not in the civil wars, or the famines, or when that total ass Mongolia got all the way to my place, or like, the time when we got here and you got hurt and wouldn't wake up. I totally know.

That fear totally isn't us. It's like, the mansion trying to get to us.

It didn't even make sense.

[That's what frustrates him the most.]

I couldn't say what I was so afraid of, I couldn't tell what caused it, I couldn't fight the source of my fear. Yours. Everyone's.

[Lies down next to Liet and pulls him softly but firmly into his arms. Liet is always there to hold him when he feels bad, and he thinks he should return that favor.]

Gawd, I know... Lame, right?

I'm sorry.

[Presses a soft kiss to the top of his hair, stroking his hands soothingly over his back]

I've like, forgiven you already. Work on forgiving yourself, for me.

I think what you should do is like, bring it up next time you have Confession, give whatever you feel like you've done wrong to God, and know that it's not on your shoulders anymore. I'll totally do it, too. Okay?

[He nods and settles against Poland, keeping perfectly still and gradually relaxing. There's not much to talk right now, he just wants to feel safe, and... he needs to know that Poland still believes in him, despite everything.]

[Poland wishes he would talk, because he always feels awkward being silent. It's not something that comes naturally to him, except around people he still feels shy with... But he does his best to stay quiet and just be there for Liet, cuddling him almost protectively.]

[Softly, after a while:] This totally won't make me think any differently of you, ok?

I... I have to be strong, I should be. For myself, to protect you, to be able to help.

[He wraps his arms around the other nation.]

I promised.

Liet, you are strong. [Kisses the top of his head again] If you weren't, do you seriously think I'd have trusted you like I did at Tannenberg? As if. You're totally strong. And you're like, a great knight, and you're brave, and you're loyal, and you're totally sweet...

[Stroking his hair] I like, wouldn't change a thing about you if I could.

[Not looking up at the other, but his voice sounds choked, as if he had cried.]

Thank you. [He turns fully, to be able to press flush against the other boy - it's more comfortable, too - and then, finally, looks up.] Thank you.

[Gives Liet a tired little almost-smile, touching his cheek softly]

No prob. Hey... let's like, get some sleep, ok? I totally bet it'll feel better after that.

I guess you're right.

[Hesitates for a moment, then leans in and kisses him very, very softly on the lips.]

Totally. And... for what it's worth, I'm like, right here, ok?

It's worth a lot.

[He brings one hand up to brush it over the other nation's hair and rest it lovingly at his neck.]

There's nothing in the mansion that would be more worth to me. [His children are not here.]

[Poland smiles a little more confidently this time, brushing a thumb gently over Liet's cheek. He'd be grumpy that it's just in the mansion, but... he's a nation, too, and gets that their people come first.]

Mm. I'll totally be right here by your side as long as you want me here, ok?

[It's a very different kind of being important, but both Poland and his children are loved very much.]

Forever?

[Laughs]

I like, meant more in a "here in this bed, physically next to you" way, but like, more generally? Sure. Totally. Absolutely.

[That's what getting married is about, anyway, isn't it? So he shouldn't have any hesitation to say that, and he doesn't.]

Both of those are good.

[No matter how hard on his nerves Poland is half the time, he'll still love him. Bringing this relationship on a level where it isn't something that their bosses told them to have, but that they wanted themselves bears a lot of responsibility and bounds, but he is content to have that.]

[He smiles, pressing a soft little kiss to the very corner of Liet's mouth]

Well, I'd get pretty bored staying right here forever, you know? But I can defs stay a while.

[And he doesn't ever want to leave him.]

We would have to go get food, too.

[He threads his hand through Poland's hair, shifting a bit so he is nearly face to face with the other nation.]

And we'd start to stink, after a while.

[Laughs, leaning forward until his forehead rests against Liet's]

Oh God, Liet, that's totally grody! We'd like, only have one outfit each, and they'd get super rank so we'd have to take them off, and then we'd be stuck here naked and starving and smelling all eww for like, ever.

Plus we'd totally miss our own ceremony, and how tacky is that?

[Lithuania smiles fondly and leans in to give Poland a shy peck on the corner of his mouth, letting his lips hover near that spot when he speaks again.]

And then they would come and find us like that. [He blows a little air against Poland's skin, intending to tickle him. Poland is ticklish in the strangest places, why not there?]

[Oh God, Lithuania, you just killed Poland's brain! He goes from normal to blushing in no time at all, stammering and trying to remember what Liet just said enough that he can respond to it, but all he can remember is that it was an embarrassing, scandalous thought, and Liet's breath is soft and hot against his skin, and his lips are right there and oh, God, he feels like his heart is going to beat its way out of his chest!]

[Pulling back a bit, not sure if he did something wrong and blushing hard at what he just did. And, oh dear Lord in Heaven, what if it was the wrong thing and and and and so awkward and scandalous and what if someone really walked in on them and

it felt nice and Poland's blushed face looks nice, and he doesn't really want to pull away.]

[It takes Poland a few long moments to compose himself, and he's still blushing... but then he manages a smile, wrapping his arms around Liet so he'd have a harder time pulling away even if he wanted to.]

O-Ohmigawd, can you even imagine what they'd think of us?

[He giggles--that's really the only word for it--and nuzzles Liet's cheek softly] It'd totally be like one of those scandals at the court! I mean, I guess since we're technically married already, it wouldn't be that heinously out of line, but--ohmigod. [Dissolves into giggles, still blushing brightly.]
