"Ah, Liet! There you are! D'you find everything you were looking for?"
Poland was grinning, his face a little flushed – Lithuania might have thought his friend had powdered his cheeks, but then he noticed the bottle of wine on the table, and the empty cup the smaller nation was holding.
Then he noticed the flowers. The full plates, the delicious-looking food.
The mess on the counter. On the floor. On the walls…
"Poland," he started carefully, setting his shopping bag on the floor. "How… " He didn't even know what to ask. He had only been gone for a couple of hours! "What is this?"
With a clumsy, wide gesture, Poland presented the scene.
"What does it look like, huh?" He was still smiling widely as Lithuania took every detail in a second time. That was a Lithuanian meal, he noted absently.
"You're drunk." he said.
"Nuh uh, " Poland shook his head, blond strands falling into his eyes. "That's totally not what you're supposed to see!"
"Yes it is." Lithuanis could honestly not focus on anything else, even the Lithuanian, for god's sake food that had obviously taken Poland such a long time to prepare. That disaster was going to take forever to clean!
"That bottle of wine is half-empty, Poland. "
"Half-full, y'mean?" Poland said sheepishly. It was a rare look for him, and Lithuania knew him well enough to understand the quiet sorry that came with it.
"I, like, couldn't wait, y'were taking so long, and like, I wanted everything to be perfect, y'know? " he raised a hand and scratched the back of his head.
"It's fine," Lithuania sighed. He smiled and took Poland's hand. "Thank you for this. But let's get something in your stomach, alright? We'll clean when you're… steadier. "
"Okay, " Poland said, looking down.
"And, Poland?" Poland looked up, looking so innocent, and Lithuania rolled his eyes. "Of course I'll stay the night. You could have just asked, you know?"
