Wow! Lot's of support for this already! Thank you all who added this to their alerts and for the two reviews~
I'm glad I said I would do daily updates now! I decided against going into detail at the hospital because I honestly know nothing about medical things orz
Warnings: Fluff...? And Matthias being his usual dorky self...and singing
Berwald was sitting in his neat apartment; it was easy to keep clean with all the IKEA furniture that packed itself away so easily. He'd pulled out one of his favourite old books- the cover was quite worn and had been reading. He wouldn't ever admit that he was waiting for his door bell to ring- he'd rather be forced to eat a certain Englishman's scones then admit that he was slightly excited for this 'date'.
It had been four days since the bazaar night that Matthias Køhler had stumbled into the ER asking him on a date with- as he later discovered through x-rays- a broken ankle.
Berwald silently remember how all through the time he was casting Matthias' foot the other man had flirted to no end. Berwald had tried his best to ignore all the perverse comments from the man- but decided in the end the best way to get revenge was to wrap the Danish man's cast with bright pink wrap- that had princesses on it. That plan back fired when Matthias had been delighted saying how 'he loves princesses especially Disney ones'. Berwald had never met a grown man so childish.
Shaking his head he remembered that he had indeed given in and given the man his phone number and address. Not 6 hours after Matthias had left the hospital- he'd gotten a phone call as he was just getting home from his shift. It was of course the Dane asking him to call back so he could arrange a proper date.
He vaguely remembered how he'd slammed his head on his desk listening to the message and how blatantly perverse the man had been. Nevertheless he'd called back and a very happy Matthias had arranged to pick him up from his apartment on Wednesday- his off day.
So there he was sitting on his couch lazily reading some Swedish novels he'd found deep in one of the boxes from when he'd moved to Denmark. He sighed and looked himself over- he was wearing a clean light blue dress shirt and some jeans that were just a little too tight. Standing from his spot on the couch he went to put away the coffee cup he'd emptied a while ago- but paused when he heard a faint knock on his apartment door.
He set the cup down and opened his apartment's door- to face a grinning man he knew as Matthias.
"Hej!" Matthias greeted- he was chipper and grinning happily, "Ya ready?" Berwald nodded silently before grabbing his coat and putting on his boots.
"Ja- where 're ya takin' me 'nyways...?" Berwald asked as he closed his front door locking it and shoving his keys into his pocket. He watched as the other man practically skipped down the stairs from his apartment.
"You'll see!" Was his only response- and with a sigh Berwald followed after the Dane, wondering once again what the hell he'd gotten himself into. He followed Matthias down the few flights of stairs to the main floor of the apartment where the man promptly walked out of the building. Berwald almost laughed when the man proudly swept and arm towards a shiny Volvo.
"From what ya said 'n the ER I'd figure you'd have som' big tough car- not a little Volvo." Berwald chuckled slightly as Matthias unlocked the sedan and opened the passengers side for him before hopping into the drivers seat.
"Hey! It's a good car! It get's me where I need t' be." Was Matthias' huffed response, taking up a childish pout as he started up the car. Berwald raised an eyebrow when Matthias turned on a CD...that just so happened to have all the Little Mermaid songs on it- in Danish of course.
"Yoo...yoo really like th' Little Mermaid don't ya?" He asked with a small hint of amusement in his voice as the other started driving. First tripping over a life sized LEGO statue of Ariel and now the official Little Mermaid album?
"Yep! I do- though I personally like Hans Christian Andersen's original version better!" Matthias nodded turning the CD's volume down slightly so they could talk. Berwald was a bit taken aback. Maybe the man had more intelligence then he first assumed.
"How- how's yer foot doin'?" He asked noting how the other man seemed to be driving just fine. Since he wasn't in the ER except weekends a different colleague had taken care of Matthias on his return visit earlier in the week.
"Sore- but lot's better." He paused in his talking as he turned the car, "Thanks to yer beautiful cast~" He grinned dorkily and Berwald rolled his eyes- for some reason Matthias annoyed him, but also made him give one of his very rare smiles.
About and hour and a half later- Berwald found himself singing 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' by ABBA as he and Matthias drove on Danish country roads. It was strange that after only an hour and a half in a car how much Matthias had been able to pry out of him. Matthias unlike him was an open book, and endlessly easy for the quiet Swede to read.
In the hour and a half drive they bonded by singing ABBA and for some reason they both knew fishing songs- they belted those out quite happily too.
Matthias was laughing as Berwald sang the words to Gimme Gimme Gimme off by heart, Berwald for the first time in a long time had a slight smile on his face. As the song ended Berwald stopped singing and turned to Matthias.
"Y'know...ya still haven't told me where we 're goin'." He said in his deep but quiet voice, looking into the Danes bright blue eyes. The other man smiled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Well..." He said sheepishly, "I had a plan- but ya distracted me with yer singing!"
Berwald raised an eyebrow. "Yer lost aren't ya?"
"...Maybe."
Throws sparkles over you all.
Yup.
Reviews are love!
