This is a Human AU.

Tinos POV

"Ow!" Tino screeched as his mother brushed his messy hair. "Hold still Tino!" She hissed and brushed his hair harder. He whimpered but didnt say anything else. He had been exploring his familys estate, it was early spring and the snow had newly melted, letting him explore the forests and shrublands. He had gotten dirt and twigs in his fair hair.

"We are having guests tonight, and you are filthy!" His mother hissed and fniished brushing the twigs out of his hair. "Just go take a bath!" Shesaid giving up and letting the young teenaged boy go. He sighed and grabbed a towel before heading to the large bathroom. He stripped down and started the bath. It was a large bath, he remembered playing in it with his four other siblings...

Tino slipped into the warm water and sighed. He wondered if his parents would be mad if he just stayed in the bath all night, and didnt meet his fathers business partner and his family...his father said that Tino had to attend even though his sisters didnt. He frowned, he guessed that was what happened being the only boy...so boring...He thought as he sunk into the soapy water.

"Tino Väinämöinen!" His mother screamed at him. "Hurry up and get dressed, the Oxenstiernas have arrived!" She said and Tino got out of the tub sadly. He dried off and dressed himself in a simple black suit he only wore on special occasions. He wasnt really looking forward to metting the Swedish family but he dried his hair and fixedit before heading down stairs anyways.

Berwalds POV

Berwald looked up out the carraige to see the large mansion. He frowned. The Finnish household had a larger house than his family...of course his father spent most of the familys money on alchohal and women...Berwald missed his mother but he knew that she would want him to be a better head of the Oxenstierna household than her husband.

Berwald was in his fathers eyes a failure. He was 27, unmarried and never showed any interest in the family business. Truth was Berwald was never interested in marrying because well he was...gay. The day he told his father his father slapped him across the face calling him a fag.

Berwald hated his father. He hated life in general. As they walked up to the large doors, Berwald wondered why his father had brought him to the Väinämöinens. Berwald was always left home because his father was too ashamed to have his son be with him. Berwald knew something was up but he didnt press it.

"Hei!" The doors flew open as a woman greeted them. She was in a simple blue dress, behind her was four girls each in matching blue dresses. Berwald stared un impressed. But his eye was caught by the Finnish familys fifth child. He was a young boy of most likely around sixteen. Berwald felt his heart race as he looked him over. He was small but he was beautiful...light blond hair...thin body...

Berwalds father saw what he was staring at and smiled. "Dont try anything fag." He whispered in his sons ear who jumped. Berwald frowned and avoided eye contact with the family as they went through formalitys. "Is he okay?" Mr. Väinämöinen asked. "Oh...hes just a shy boy..." Berwalds father said. Berwald knew his father was calling him that horrible word in his head over and over.

After an awkward dinner, with the two men of the households talking about unimportant things and some gifts for the girls from Sweden the four men left to the Fin mans study. Berwald tried to avoid the eye contact of the young boy who was staring at him frowning slightly. Berwald looked at him bite his lip and Berwald licked his own lips without thinking...he wondered how the young Fins lips would taste...Berwald mentally slapped his face for thinking horrible thoughts.

Tino POV

Tino watched the Swede as he kept avoiding his eye contact. He tried to smile at him, but the man ignored him. He wondered if the man was mute, he never said anything. Tino smiled to himself. He had never seen a more handsome man, he had blond hair, and blue eyes framed by glasses. He had a stern look on his face that was a little frightning, but Tino shook his head. He probably didnt meet new people often...

When all four men went to the study, Tino couldnt help but stare at the Swedes back. When he walked Tino could see his back muscles through the jacket he wore. Tino bit his lip when Berwald looked at him and he blinked at what he saw the Swede do. Berwald had licked his lips...Tino tried to hide a blush. What was wrong with him?

Tino sighed and sat down as his father gave drinks to the two Swedish men. He himself took a drink too before handing TIno a glass of sparkling water, as Tino was only sixteen, he couldnt legally drink yet...not that Tino had never snuck into his fathers study before and tried some. He hated the smell of alchohal though.

"Well we are here to discuss something very improtant." Tinos father smiled. Tino frowned and he saw a confused look on Berwalds face letting Tino know the Swede had no idea what was going on. "My wife and I have decided that this would be a great chance for young Tino." He smiled and Tino started to sweat. What was going on?

"Are you sure? Very well then I agree. We should draw up a contract...perhaps Tino should stay in Sweden or Berwald stay here until Tino is of age." Berwalds father said.

"Fa'her..." Berwald spoke up for the first time the whole night. Tino was surprised at how handsome Berwalds voice was. It was rough, and had a thick accent but...it was soft...Tino smiled wondering what it would be like to hear his own name come from Berwalds mouth.

"Oh right, well Mr.Väinämöinen and I have decided on an arranged marraige...that way once I am gone, our wealth will be shared...perhaps passed down through his daughters." Berwald stood up quickly. "'M not tak'n w'man as w'fe!" He hissed. Tino frowned. What wrong with this man? Why wouldnt he want to marry one his sisters? Unless...Tinos eyes went wide.

"No...you are not marrying one of my daughters! You are to marry Tino." Tino gasped at this. Him to marry the Swedish man? Berwald looked shocked. "' thought ya hated fags?" Berwald hissed at his father. "Ya w'nt me to t'ke a m'n as w'fe?" Berwald asked. Tino winced at the f-word. "I have no choice, you didnt want any women...you never even touched any of the women I brought home for you..." His father said sticking his nose up.

Tinos father sighed. "Shall we leave the two alone to talk and draw up that contract?" Berwalds father nodded and they both left Tino and Berwald alone in awkward silence.
