He knew that he would be gone after a little bit, but for now now he enjoyed the feather light kisses that were pressed to his collar and neck.
Tino leaned back against the possibly older man, and managed to get lost in the moment.
Why should it ever end?
He sighed out of bliss; they never went farther than this, and yet he was always surprised at how right it felt.
He heard hurried footsteps, and then a voice calling his name.
"Tino, it's time to go." He stared at the mirror in time to see the last glimmer of the other man disappear.
He frowned, but still he hurried to get ready.
His cousin, Lukas, had been the one to call for him; Emil was probably busy.
Tino faked a smile, and he headed towards the voice that was calling him.
Lukas looked about ready to run out of the door; the only reason that Tino knew this was, because he had lived with his cousin his whole life.
He watched as his cousin stormed off; Lukas was probably eager to see his fiance, Mathilde.
Tino sighed, and followed his older cousin out of the room.
He found that Emil had decided to already sit down in the carriage.
Tino was startled to meet a woman at the meeting that looked sort of like the man that had been occupying his dreams and everyone of his thoughts.
She had long, blond hair that stopped after her waist, and she wore glasses like the ones that Berwald wore.
She seemed content with going over her notes for the meeting.
Tino really wanted her attention, but he was too scared to talk to her.
Emil seemed content with talking to a pretty, Asian woman that Tino had never met before.
He was pushed towards by Mathilde after Mathilde and Lukas had a whispered conversation that was more than likely about him.
Tino nervously spoke to the beautiful woman, "I'm Tino."
He gulped, and watched as her serious eyes landed on his often child like ones.
"I'm Susanna." She smiled a small smile at him, and still managed to look serious as she did so.
He found out that she was an interesting woman, and after he had gotten home, he hadn't forgotten her.
Berwald seemed to have vanished in to thin air.
Tino decided to move on, and spent a lot of his time with Susanna.
He was startled many years later by an old looking envelope that had fallen on his bed.
Dear Tino,
Please take good care of my great granddaughter, Susanna, and all of her children that you two have been blessed with. I have decided that it is time for me to go, so I won't be watching out for the two of you like before. I just need you to take care of the last of my family for me. 'Bye Tino.
Sincerely,
Berwald Oxternia.
Tino's eyes widened at what the letter said, and he forced himself to relax and think this through.
The man that had captivated him before was his wife's great grandfather.
He smiled a sad smile at the thought that his childish crush would never be his the way that he used to want him to, but he had moved on.
Tino loved Susanna far more than he had ever loved anyone.
