[Tino's POV]

Detention is never fun. It means staying back at school after classes with douche bags. It seriously wouldn't bother me too much if it was for a good enough reason. I was in here for being late to class three times. It wasn't even three times in a row; it was over the space of three months. Ridiculous.

The crowd in the detention room wasn't too big. Of course, it was full of the typical smart asses that talk back. Lukas wasn't here today; he'd gotten out of it. However, I was stuck there until 4:30, an hour and a half after the last bell of the day. I also now needed to explain to my parents where I was and why I was in detention.

Time always seems to pass slower when you're in a rush to get out. It felt like five hours had passed and it had only been 30 minutes. I was just quietly doing my homework (it needed to be done, so why not get it done in detention?). The kids here liked to show how badass they were by the amount of detentions they received. It was dumb. Lukas was late to school most times and dealt with Kevin, Terry, and Daniel for Emil, so he was in here a fair bit of time. It meant he rushed to work though, which was worrying.

Anyways, I was walking out of detention. As per usual, I had my bag on one shoulder and walked towards to the main exit of the building. It was only then when I realised it was raining. I scrambled through my bag and cursed as I couldn't find my umbrella.

Sighing, I began to make my way to the bus stop. It was freezing and wet – definitely not my day. Days like this would be so much better if my parents could pick me up. Sadly, they both worked today, so there was no way I could get out of this mess.

"Tino." I heard a deep voice say from behind me. I quickly turned around to the voice. The first thing I saw was a blue knit sweater and then I glanced up and saw Berwald.

"Oh, hey Berwald. Did the rain get you as well?" I smiled at him a bit. He nodded, looking away. I didn't know what else to say. Quick, Tino, think of something.

"This weather is great for sitting inside with hot chocolate, huh?" No, Tino. Not that. Berwald turned to look at me.

"I know a place near by," he said, looking through his bag.

"Oh, that's pretty cool," I replied, watching him search his bag, which had heaps of books in it. He took out an umbrella from the bottom of his bag. He quickly opened it and handed it to me.

"No, no. It's okay. It's not raining too badly." He was really sweet, and I couldn't help but blush a bit. Really, he was getting soaked out there. I was the idiot that forgot my umbrella at home in the middle of autumn.

"We could share it," he persisted. I sighed in defeat and nodded. We walked for a bit in complete silence. The rain was getting a little heavier.

"If you want we can go there."

I glanced up at him. What was he taking about?

"The hot chocolate place," he added, as if he had read my mind.

"Oh! That would be great. We could wait for the rain to stop there." I grinned at him.
He nodded. We kept walking in the rain, sharing his umbrella. We were both soaking wet – I could tell. I could also tell that he was warm. I was close enough to feel the warmth radiate off him. It was not the time to be thinking how warm he was. I mean, once I started that I would think about hugs. Oh crap.

"So, where do you live?" I asked to get my mind off of hugs – I mean, thoughts. Ugh.

"Near the west side of the town."

I glanced at him. He was staring ahead, and looked pretty relaxed right now. He glanced down at me and I looked away. "O-oh, I live around there too. More towards the northern side. Oh! Near the park. You know the one with the weird-looking swings?" He nodded. That meant he must live relatively close. How had he gone unseen by me all this time? I mean, the town wasn't small, but it wasn't a major city. We had a bay, mountain and river. Most people with high income lived near the bay. The mountain was on the west side, and a wider variety of people lived there. The east was where all the shopping centres were and the centre was where Lukas lived. The houses there were rather cheap, but it was worrying living there. It was so busy and there were too many people, not all of them good.

"Tino." Oh, I'd spaced out again. Glancing up at Berwald, he was already staring. He pointed to the shop we were standing in front of. It was a small cafe that didn't look very busy, and it smelled amazing. You could smell the sweets from outside!

"Oh! It smells great!" I grinned at him. He looked away and opened the door for me. I went inside. He closed the umbrella outside and then joined me. It was so warm, I could almost fall asleep.

"Veee~ Welcome, can I take your order?" I turned to see Feliciano there wearing a waiter outfit. We both seemed to register the same thing at the same time. Now that I thought about it, I didn't catch the name of the cafe.

"Oh, Feli! What a surprise!" I smiled.

"Si! It's so lovely to see you, veeee~" He hugged me. "Oh, you're wet. Oops~" he giggled. I grinned and looked back at Berwald. He was watching a bit surprised? I'm still trying to figure out 'Berwald Language', as Mathias liked to call it. He gave me the basics, but the rest I'm basing off of 'Lukas Language'. It was hard, but I was getting the hang of it.

"I'll get you a table~" Feli was skipping as we followed him in. He sat us at a nice table. I noticed Ludwig was on another table by himself reading a newspaper and drinking coffee. He looked like such a grownup. He must be waiting for Feli.

"So, what would you like?" Feliciano bounced about.

"Hot chocolate, please." Berwald looked at the menu.

Feli squeaked a bit and nodded, a little scared, and glanced at me.

"Same thing, please." I smiled. He nodded, gave me a knowing look, and glanced at Berwald. I blushed and shook my head. He grinned and skipped off to the kitchen.

I glanced back at Berwald. He was still looking at the menu. I rest my chin on my hands. Was he going to order something else?

"So, do you come to this cafe often?"

He glanced up and nodded. He was so silent. It made me feel like I talked too much. I did talk too much sometimes, but I had tried not to ramble on with him. I didn't want to seem annoying. "Do you like it?"

I looked around at the place. It was very traditional-looking. It also small, but it was cozy like this, and it smelled great. I liked it a lot actually. I smiled at him and nodded. "It's very cozy."

He nodded and glanced at the table or the salt… No, I was pretty sure it was the table. Mathias had said he liked furniture right? I wondered if it would be easier for him to talk about furniture. He was trying to talk. So, I should try to find out stuff that he liked to talk about, right? Oh, I was nervous about this.

"The tables… are very nice too," I randomly said glancing around. I could feel his stare.

"Ja, they're smooth."

Smooth? I glanced at him this time. I was confused. I felt the table. Oh, they were smooth. Still, it felt even more awkward. "D-do you like furniture?"

He turned a bit pink at the question. Oh, so he did.

"I make furniture." He admitted looking away. Wow, that was pretty cool. He looked embarrassed but it wasn't something to be embarrassed about – it was just making furniture.

"That's cool." I smiled.

Then silence fell. We were both felling awkward. Ah great, why? Maybe I was just really nervous with him? But I was never this nervous. It was frustrating.

Feli came with the hot chocolates. He grinned at us, and I looked away.

"Two hot chocolates, Veee~" He put the hot drinks down and left in a hurry. I glanced back at Feli. He was at the counter and gave me two thumbs up with a grin.

I turned back to my hot chocolate. "What music do you listen to?" I suddenly blurred out.

He looked at me. I almost squeaked like Feliciano did before. He was making that scary face. According to Mathias, it meant that he was thinking or typing to say something. "I… I like pop," he muttered. It surprised me; I didn't think that he would like pop.

"Modern pop or old pop?" There was a clear difference, I will have you know.

"Old pop," he said looking away and drinking his hot chocolate. Now, if we use Lukas Language, looking away and hiding behind an object meant he was embarrassed. Well, duh. It was old pop. It was good, but never as good as the beauty of heavy death metal.

"Ooh, so, like, ABBA?" I asked. His eyes widened for a fraction of a second. It was at that moment when I saw a new side to Berwald. He instantly took out his iPod and handed me an earphone. The catchy tunes of ABBA were playing Waterloo.

"Waterloo, I was defeated. You won the war. Waterloo, promise to love for ever more"

I giggled a bit. The lyrics of this song always spoke to me, and the coincidence that he was hearing it made it a little bit funny. He showed me his collection of music. I was impressed to see a few punk bands in the mix. It made me wonder just exactly what kind of person Berwald was when he was in his comfort area. I wanted to know more. Why was I suddenly so curious? I had never been this interested in someone. What was happening?
