Switzerland

oJo

"Wh-what is this?" A retorical question since he already knew what it was, but still. Why would Austria give him this? His phone number? Of all things, why? It's not like they talked after they split up...

Switzerland looked down at the piece of paper down in his hands.

00-43-1-254-1843 Call this number when your lonely. Which will probably be tonight...? Not that it matters. I just think that you have been by yourself too long.

"By myself for too long..." he whispered into the seemingly empty room.

"B-Big Bruder?"

Switzerland jumped at Liechtenstein's small voice. "A-ah, yes? How long have you been here?" he looked up at his sister standing in the doorway.

"Just a little bit. But, umm, Mr. Austria?" She strod over to the desk that Switzerland sat at. Standing in front of it, she continued. "He... He seemed nice. Gentle. A-and... I wouldn't mind if we were to be around him more." She looked away shyly. "I know that you don't really like him, but maybe if we got to know him better..." She checked back at Switzerland's face quickly to note his consentrated face. "Big bruder...?"

"Hm? I... I suppose we could..."

Liechtenstein jumped up giddily and walked around the desk to hug her brother. "Oh~, thank you! I'm sure you won't regret it~."

"A-well, I'm almost sure you're wrong about that one, but..." Switzerland replied flustered as he seperated himself from his sister's embrace. "I guess it couldn't be bad to talk to him every once and a while." He tried to offer her a reassuring smile, but it was clumsy and didn't really look real.

She didn't seem to catche the falseness, but what she did catch was sight of the note splayed out on the desk. "Oh, is that the note he gave you at dinner?"

"How did you-"

"I saw him slip it to you. Do you mind showing it to me?" She begged with puppy dog eyes that rivaled those of a certain American that doesn't need to be mentioned in this story.

"Ah, well... Sure." He caved as he slid her the note. Her eyes shifted it over eagerly, and turned to saucers in an instant.

She shoved the paper back in his hand. "You should call him."

"But-"

"No, bruder. Listen to me for once. This-" She pointed at the paper. "This is what you need. You spend so much time on me, but you always neglect yourself. He is right. You are lonely. Now please pick up the phone and call him. There is no point in not trying." With that, she sat down in the comfty chair in front of his desk, waiting with expectant eyes.

Switzerland looked down at the number in his hand. "Maybe so... Maybe this will work out this time..." Slowly, he picked up the phone next to him. Liechtenstein bounced forward in her chair in her excitement.
