So here is the next chapter, I'm sorry I took too long to update, but ideas don't flow so easily into my head. Thank you lovely people for reviewing and letting me know you like this fic.
Tell me if you liked please.
Hetalia is not mine.
The weekend arrived and the previous days had been as normal as any other days, except for the fact that candy disappeared every day. Berwald decided to take the advice and left the jar opened. So this creature could reach them easily, he even left a cooking book next to the jar so it wasn't so hard to reach.
At noon a red sedan parked in front of Berwald's house and two tall, blond figures emerged from it.
Berwald heard the door ring, as soon as he opened it a pair of arms wrapped around him and gave him a warm hug, more suffocating than warm, but the intention counted.
"Berwaaaaaald! Men! Your house is so far away from the civilization! It's so big! Even for you! Aren't you happy to see me, we haven't seen each other since Christmas."
Berwald could barely keep up with Matthias greeting; he was getting out of air. "Matthi'as... Yer..." Berwald said chocking a bit he was practically caring his cousin.
"You are strangulating the poor man." said a monotone voice as Matthias was dragged away from Berwald.
"Hello Berwald" said Lukas extending his hand.
"Hell' Lukas. N'ce to see ye b'th" Berwald shacked Lukas hand and stepped aside from the door for letting them in. "Pl'ase m'ke y'self at h'me".
"Thank you men" Matthias was just as a little kid, he ran into the house and looked everywhere, Lukas and Berwald just followed him, excitement could be seen in his eyes. "Ber your house is so big; don't you get a little lonely here?"
The tall man just stopped; even though that was an innocent question he couldn't deny the truth. Yes, he felt lonely here. Yes it was a big house just for him. But as far as he could tell he might stay lonely in this big house for a long time. "..." He couldn't reply to his question, no without feeling odd.
"Leave the man alone and sit down." Lukas stepped into the conversation. He conducted Matthias into a couch and sat beside him.
Berwald thanked for that, he was good at hiding emotions but this particular subject he always felt the same. He sat in the couch next to them, it was the first time he noticed Lukas had a book in his hands.
"So Berwald" Lukas said placing the book into his lap. "You told me you had someone living in your house besides you."
This was surprising, he jumped directly to the point, Berwald hadn't even had time to offer them something to drink.
"Ber! Finally! You found someone to live with! Where is he?!" Matthias stand up and jumped in excitement. "When can we meet…"
"Sit down! Dam you are just a little kid." Lukas dragged him down to the couch.
"But you love me that way. Don't you sweetie?" The eyes of Matthias looked as a puppy and got closer to Lukas to cuddle.
Lukas blushed a bit and answered without changing his voice. "Yea right." He pushed his boyfriend lovingly just to let him breath. "As I was saying, you said you put a trap and you saw tiny steps on it."
"Y's." This man truly remembered the conversation.
"So I did my research and this was all I was able to find. I apologize because there isn't much information about this." Lukas opened the book in a page labeled with a green post-it.
He placed the book in the coffee table and moved in order Berwald could have the best view.
It was a heavy book at least 300 pages. I looked old but it was not shattered, the page had some text and pretty handmade illustrations that showed some leaves, and tiny wooden houses. In the picture there was also people.
The picture could be quite normal except for the oversized berries the people where carrying. In that moment something snapped in Berwald's mind. He raced his gaze and looked to the couple.
Lukas just nodded while Matthias was quiet. It was something Berwald couldn't believe, but the evidence was as clear as water. Some kind of little person was living in his house.
Lukas voice made him come back from his thoughts. "This is all I could find." He reached for the book and started reading. Matthias cuddled besides him so he could see the picture.
"Vaderskal" Lukas way of reading a book and telling a story was captivating.
" Vederskals are people who live in the deep of the woods, sharing with nature. They are the size of a pine cone, but pretty strong for their size. There is not much known about them except for the fact that they love candy and human food. The leyend said that if you see one your life will be blessed with love and good luck, that's the reason it is believed they got extinct. Humans hunted them for using them as charms. Nobody has seen one for the past 200 years."
Well that explained a lot. But this tiny people hadn't been seen in the past 200 years, the fact that this magical creatures existed was out of this world.
The three man were in silence comprehending what they had just listened
The first one to break the silence was Matthias. "Babe are you sure this is true?" he looked incredulous and a bit shocked.
"Now days we aren't sure if magical creatures exist, there are things in this world that still a mystery and that's what keeps the world beautiful. A hint of mystery is magical." Lukas responded smoothly.
" 'K so now I got a 'Vaderskal' in my h'use." Berwald was still a bit worried, not because he cared about sharing his food, but as caring as he was, he couldn't let this little creature be in danger. What if he accidentally stepped on it? Or worst. This creature probably wasn't used to now a day's inventions and could easily be electrocuted or something like that.
"Lukas" said Berwald decided. "We need to find this creature."
" You want to keep it as a pet Ber? "Joked Matthias.
"No." I don't w'nt him to get h'rt."
"Do you have any idea how to find him?" Lukas look thoughtful
"He might be scared, if some of their people got hunted by humans he might have a bit of resentment. I would have, it's comprehensible."
Matthias was right, this little one must be scared.
They stayed on the living room thinking of how they could communicate to this creature without him thinking they were going to hurt him.
An idea snapped in Berwald's head, it was not complicated, but it was the easiest way to approach the little one "G't an id'a".
To be continued…
The name of the mythical creature is a game of 3 words in Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian, it's the mixture of the words small, adorable and creature. If it means something bad in another language could you please tell me? I already did my research and everything was ok. But you know more than I do.
