Mathias hadn't told anyone else about the dolls; he wanted to keep them to himself just to test out a few things, because the Dane had a slight suspicion that these dolls were magic, and were made to look like them for a purpose- and the only way to make that crystal clear was to keep testing them out.
At the table (for breakfast) Mathias couldn't get rid of his mischievous grin no matter how hard he tried, however, he wasn't even trying to hide it and the others just shrugged it off, footsteps could be heard coming downstairs and Lukas appeared yawning and wearing one of Mathias' tops that looked like a dress on him that stopped mid thigh; his pale blonde locks were tousled and had slight bags under his eyes.
"Morning gorgeous."
"Shut it, Mathias." Lukas sat down joining them
"Alright dear," Mathias continued.
"Do you really want to deal with me? At this hour?" The Norwegian rubbed his temples
"I'm joking, I'll stop." The Dane passed him a mug of black coffee, "here."
"Takk." He took it and sipped softly at it.
Soon everybody had finished their breakfast and just chatted about what they should do today; Tino and Lukas said they wanted to relax whereas Peter kept mentioning the lake; obviously wanting to go swimming, Mathias joined him by pestering the Norwegian about going swimming as well. No one really said no, so they decided to go swimming for the day and it suited well especially since it was a lovely sunny day.
Once everyone was ready they headed out to the lake, it wasn't far from the house, just a short walk across to the little pier heading out onto the clear water; Mathias picked up Peter and carried him on his shoulders running towards the pier, hoisting him up from his shoulder's chucking him into the water then the Dane jumping in seconds after - Tino hurried over to the pier.
"Mathias! Peter!" Tino sounded angry but worried
"-It's okay!" The little English boy popped his head out of the water, shaking his head a little, "I'm fine papa!" Peter grinned and waved at him.
"I'm fine too!" Mathias suddenly appeared
A sigh left the Finnish man's lips, "don't do that, you scared me! What if he got hurt?-"
"But he didn't."
"But I didn't." The boy repeated after Mathias.
"just be careful, okay?" Tino chuckled softly at the two and then joined the others.
Lukas, Emil and Berwald put down some towels on the ground before sitting down on them and giving a nice relaxed sigh, watching as the three played in the water splashing each other and screaming 'stop' when being splashed, it was all very nice like a dream: sweet, innocent, calm and relaxing as if it were a mere child dreaming safely at home in a warm bed…
The five plus Peter had taken a picnic basket with them just putting in whatever they could find in the fridge and cupboards- just little things: crisps, sandwiches, cookies, licorice (which Emil happened to have with him) and other little things to snack on along with some drinks, it was just a relaxing day for the lot - swimming all day along with eating and drinking and naps under shady trees with a gentle breeze blowing against them along with the sun shining down.
Even though they were relaxing Mathias couldn't stop thinking about those dolls he had found; it was really all he could think about and how they looked like them it couldn't be a coincidence that they were made to look like them but then again, the owner had no clue what they looked like.
"Hey, you okay? You like you're about to shit yourself," Emil glanced at the other
"Oh, I do? Haha, I'm just thinking too hard about something,"
Emil nodded and went back to minding his own business, Mathias sighed as he glanced over to Lukas, maybe the Norwegian would distract him. Getting up Mathias made his way to Lukas who was reading a book about Norse mythology - something he always likes to read, it was one of the books that the Dane had gotten for the him, Mathias sat down next to him eyes glued onto Lukas.
"Can I help you?"He asked, not looking away from the book
"I just want to be with you," Mathias patted his thigh gently, "also I want to show you something..." he whispered trailing off
"Oh?" Lukas moved the book down a little
"Yeah, c'mon I'll show you," Mathias got up and headed towards the house
Lukas sighed following the behind the Dane, Peter had seen the two go off into the house; out of curiosity the little boy followed being sneaky like a ninja (he had been with Alfred and Kiku playing ninja and picked up on a few "skills") he was bored and hopefully whatever Mathias would show Lukas would be something cool, Mathias had always kept cool things.
"Okay so I found these the other night," he mumbled as he went up to the attic.
The two stood in front of the doll house, Lukas knelt down and got a closer look, it was exactly like the house itself and the dolls...Well were just freaky but he assumed that it was a weird coincidence or some shit like that, the owner only knew what Lukas looked like- no one else plus the dolls looked old so they must've been here for a long time. Something about this sent shivers down Lukas' spine. This felt bad, really bad.
"Mathias, did you do anything with the dolls?" Lukas finally choked out some words
"Yeah, I just played with them pretending...They were us...Having...Sex..." The Dane mumbled blushing madly, feeling a little silly and awkward.
"Mathias..." Lukas sighed shaking his head, but then stopped, "then we actually had sex..." he whispered taken back
From that moment Lukas knew that these dolls were bad, he gathered them all up and hid them far away in the corner of the attic along with the house, Mathias watched confused for a moment before walking over to Lukas and grabbing his arm gently.
"What's up?" He asked concerned plastered all over his face
"Those dolls, they're bad. Okay? Don't touch them." The Norwegian looked scared and he hadn't seen him like this before, maybe once a few years back.
From the look on his lover's face, he knew that these dolls were really bad, really, really bad; quickly the two hurried downstairs, still not noticing the little blonde boy hidden in dusty memories belonging to none of the five, once the two had gone Peter scurried over to the dolls and stared at them - even though they were dangerous he wanted to play with them, danger always attracted people. Peter couldn't reach where the Norwegian put them and after a few attempts he gave up, he hurried back downstairs where he saw the tall Swede.
"There you are, you made Tino and I worried. Where'd ya go?"
"Oh I just went to the bathroom, sorry for not telling you," Peter lied and smiled innocently
"It's okay, just tell us next time," Berwald gently patted his head and left with the little blonde boy trailing behind him.
The Finnish man saw the little boy instantly he bolted towards him and engulfed him in a hug, his arms wrapped around him tightly and Peter hugged back tightly.
"Oh! Peter, I was so worried!" Tino nuzzled into him
"I'm sorry, I just went to the bathroom," he kissed his cheek, as an apology.
After a day by the lake the guys went inside to wash off, then relax, Lukas couldn't stop thinking about the dolls he wanted to keep checking on them to see if they were still there in case Mathias had moved them and played with them in case boredom haunted him, but he didn't just want to keep leaving he would have to check at night when everyone was asleep; until then Lukas had to act normal, like nothing was bothering him...Although that was hard.
Emil noticed that his brother was acting a little strange, the teen walked over to Mathias nudging him slightly
"Hey, is everything okay, with Lukas - I mean," the teen paused "he seems a little...Off."
"I don't know, maybe he's just tired?" Mathias shrugged grinning, "why not go call him big brother?" The Dane teased chuckling
"Shut up!" Emil huffed and went to his brother, watching his movement as his eyes kept moving towards the stairs.
"Hey Lukas, is something bothering you?"
"No, I'm fine," Lukas looked to the young lad, his pale face looked a little paler than normal
"You sure?" The Icelander kept persisting, even though he kept getting the same answer from his older brother.
After giving up the Icelandic boy went upstairs to his room to play some video games to distract himself, however, he played for an hour so but got bored, the video games were only so entertaining for a while; he would rather have his laptop, he could do so much more things that would keep him entertained but alas he didn't have his laptop and his phone didn't get much service out here so it was pointless.
Peter rushed in closing the door behind him and hurrying over to his bed causing Emil let out a little yelp, the teen put down his game controller and stood up looking over at the little boy, his violet eyes noticed he had some dolls.
"Hey Peter, what you got there?" he asked coming over to him
"Oh, just some dolls I found," the little English boy sat them up, "they look just like us!"
Emil glanced at the dolls feeling a weird vibe coming from them, "yeah they do..."
This was freaky, that something like this was in the house, the owner didn't even know what they looked like it was just unsettling as if they were in a horror movie but it wasn't a horror movie it was real life, so this just had to be some weird coincidence thing! It most likely was, but it's not, it never is.
