I am sure in the meantime Mr. Edelstein and Roderich are... strongly criticizing Francis... She returned after saying goodbye to Francis.

"Finally!" Mr. Edelstein smiled. She smiled in return.

"We were about to leave, I thought you were going with Francis..."

"No, it's better if he goes alone."

"Well... too much drama for the day..."

She sighed.

"Let's forget about Francis for a while, would we... I want to meet this Roderich's teacher he seeems to be very fond of him" Or you...

"Do you really want to meet him for that?"

"Well..." he blushed a little and cleared his throat. "Not necessarily."

"Well...

"I am just curious. Wouldn't you be curious if you could meet a girl that is interested in me... although no one is interested in me, but you understand the idea."

"You never notice when a woman is interested on you, anyways."

"Don't be cruel!" he laughed. "I noticed that you were interested in me, didn't I?" I'm sure you forced her a bit...

"After the third kiss..."

"Well, I needed to be sure..."

She laughed.

"I will be good with this... professor. If you think about it, it is good for him to know that I... exist. Did you tell him about me?"

"Of course, he knows I'm married."

"Good, then it will not be a surprise."

"Well I don't think that he was waiting for you today."

"He was probably waiting for you..."

"Mmm... no, I don't think so."

"It's a joke... I hope."

She sighed again becaus it is a bit bitter

"Would you... prefer that we didn't go?" Mr. Edelstein looked at her, serious.

"Yes..." And that's how Gauls always get away with things.

"Then we... should not go. But I thought that Roderich wanted me to meet him not for the same reasons I have."

"No? Why did he want you to meet him?"

"I don't know, because he is a good teacher?

"Mmmm... I don't think so, but he has some... project with Vash for his class."

"A project? About what?"

"Roderich, what is this project you have with Vash?" Gala asked to her son.

"What?"

"Your mother is telling me that you have an important project!" Mr. Edelstein said, merrily.

"Ehm... about what?"

"With this teacher of yours you wanted to visit. Is it an important project? You did not write me about it!"

"Well... yes... it's just a... class project like every one else's, but this is with Vash's colaboration"

"Oh, tell me about it. Are you two doing the research?"

"Yes" Roderich looked Vash's sideways

Vash... could not believe AGAIN that this conversation was taking place. D.

"What's the topic?" Asked Mr. Edelstein

"The human sexual arousal"

Mr. Edelstein eyebrows... went up to the sky. Roderich looked at him so cynical.

"Oh... i-interesting" his father mumbled, blushing.

"Yes... is the kind of subjects we study on medicine"

"Y-Yes, I-I see... Ehm... well, and you discuss these topics with your professor?"

"Yes... we call it lessons"

"I didn't know you... well, I thought you could learn about bones and injures before... those other things"

"Yes, but these are other subjects"

"I get it..." Mr. Edelstein mumbled. "Ehm... do you reallly think it is necessary to go and see your teacher of... these kind of topics?"

"We can see other teachers if you want, but they aren't interested in mutter"

"Your mother doesn't want me to meet him."

"Of course not."

"Why do you say "of course" that way?"

"Because it is obvious she doesn't want you to meet him"

"It is not obvious, she doesn't have anything to hide, I know he was interested in her"

"Well... Ok, then, do you want to lunch?"

Mr. Edelstein blushed a bit, looking Gala sideways and thinking if he shouldn't meet this man and trust his son instead of doing whatever Gala said. He sighed.

"Take us to the most decent restaurant around, please. I will invite you" take us to the restaurant where Dr. Wallace Hughes is eating, please. Much more natural.

"Vash?" Asked Roderich like he was... giving him the honor but a little bossy.

"Me? I have only eaten in the university cafeteria, I really do not know any other place" Vash looked at Roderich, concerned. "Maybe we can.. well, I don't know, I am sure there are other good restaurants around."

"You are the swiss"

"But I am not from here... I can ask if you like."

"OK, go and ask" random pompous gesture to hurry him.

Vash frowned a bit. Bossy Roderich was not the best version of Roderich.

But hell.. frowning, he went to ask.

Well... Vash returned with the information, walking fast as usual, just a couple of minutes later.

"Before you say anything... remember which was my mother's hotel, so nothing about goatherds restaurants" asked Roderich raising a finger.

"Don't call me a goatherd! And I never... I... ugh! Roderich! I am not going to propose anything like that!"

"I hope it"

"I have never taken you to a place with goats! Or anything like it! They told me how to get to a fancy restaurant. FANCY... expensive, but fancy. Like your mother!"

"You don't need to take me to a place with goats to know that you migth take me to a cabain in the mountain if I don't warn you"

"W-W-What do you have against cabins in the mountain! And it is not the same to take you there than to take your parents!" even if he protested he blushed deeply, because the cabin talk was about his wedding night!

"So, would you take me if we were alone?"

"I... Maybe. Just to make you angry."

"Why do you want to make me angry?"

"Because you want to make ME angry with this goatherd thing!" And because you look oh so beautiful when you are angry... and so dangerous. I want to kiss you while you are angry... and while you are happy...

"Well... maybe I wouldn't be angry then... Maybe I would be pleased"

"Oh, so now you are pleased while I am angry?"

"As always" Roderich smiled.

"That's not true! Or maybe it is... but this is not what we are discussing! You always say things as if I really were a goatherd, and I am not!"

The austrian laughed

"Don't laugh!" good Roderich, GOOD! "I am not a goatherd, I am the son of an important doctor and a wonderful nurse!"

"And you like goats and cheese."

"Well yes, but... you like cheese too!"

"Well... yes."

"You don't like cheese that much?!" Vash opened his mouth. "Why do you want to taste my cheese?! Just to say... "is... well, simple cheese"

"Just... to make you angry." Roderich quoted. Vash crossed his arms.

"That's not... very nice of you!"

"Well, you started with it."

"I did not! Taking you to a mountain cabin for our ho..." Vash stopped himself, covering his mouth with both hands.

"Our what?"

"Nothing!" the blonde started walking faster.

"No, you were going to say something"

"No! Forget it!"

"If you are planning something for my birthday, you should know that it's the next week."

Vash stopped completely and turned the head to look at him with wide open eyes.

"N-Next... that's it!"

"Well... I'm just saying."

"You just ruined the surprise" Vash blushed.

"Me? You almost said it! Anyways... Ludwig will come the next weekend, so we can't go anywhere."

"Oh..." he frowned but... well, he didn't have money to take Roderich to a cabin... He actually should have saved much more to buy him a present. He was inventing that but now he had to actually buy him something!

"Maybe for oktoberfest, if you want." They cannot go to a cabin in the mountains to get drunk and have a lot of homosexual sex... can them?

With his German love, yes, it's celebrated since 1810. Yes, they can. Gosh! Stop giving vash ideas!

"Are you going to celebrate your birthady in a cabin on the mountains?" Asked Gala then.

"I think so, Vash is saying that he will take me." Roderich answered and Vash blushed deeply.

"Take YOU to a cabin in the mountains? Oh, I'd like to see that. Is he going to carry you?" asked Mr. Edelstein.

"Well, maybe we could use a horse to arrive" Roderich said.

"Oh, that sounds super romantic, we should go to a cabin in the mountains some weekend" she asked to her husband.

"Romantic" repeated Mr. Edelstein and lowered his voice. "Maybe we could make that baby girl in the mountains."

Vash started to think... he will need a lot of money to rent a horse, and a cabin in the mountains. But maybe if he works at nights this week. The word "romantic" said by Mr. Edelstein cut his thoughts.

"Yes... when are you going to have a free weekend?" Gala asked.

"I don't think I'll get many free weekends in the next few months..."

She seemed disappointed.

"Well, maybe we can pay some part of your present, Vash, as a gift"

"P-Pay!" Vash was truly surprised, it was as if she could read his mind. "That... I... I-I..."

"Well, we have to give a present to Roro too."

"I also think a cabin here must be cheap... I need to get a weekend off" Mr. Edelstein concluded

"Well, but not in the same weekend" added Roderich.

"T-That might... help. Thank you, Mrs. Edelstein."

"Nein!" Mr. Edelstein blushed a bit. "Or we will need two cabins"

"Thank you, we prefer too don't hear you trying to give me a sister"

"Roderich!" that was his father.

"It's the turth, vater."

"Well I prefer not to hear you talking about us trying to give you a sister, thank you!"

"Well... Ehm... going back to the payment of the cabin..." whispered Vash.

"Of course not, if you want to talk about sex you are with your wrong son."

"Well you seem now to be the expert in human arousal..." German smiled, teasing his son.

"I am" he raised his chin, so proud.

"Well I don't have any problems in that department..." Mr. Edelstein admitted, blushing more but still smiling.

"Don't you? So how long does it take you to get erected? And how much time you can keep it that way?"

Ok, ok, Roderich wins. Vash looked at Roderich with an open mouth.

"W-What?" stuttered Roderich's father

"Because I took some notes about our subject of study... and I want to compare with a healty man."

"Oh, you really pretend that I answer you that! Ehm..."

"Of course... I would have asked Francis if he weren't..."

German cleared his throat soundly and looked sideways at his wife,m. If he lied... she would correct him. She smiled to him.

"Vater, it is for medical purposes! Don't look her"

"Ehm... well. I-I would... say that... it doesn't take too long. Normal time."

"Normal time doesn't mean anything to me."

"Ehm... it depends on a few things."

"I know."

"F-For example, for how long I haven't seen your... mother."

"Mmmm... what do you think?" Roderich asked to Vash.

"R-Roderich..." he whispered.

"Yes?"

"Do we really need to talk about this with your father?" he asked, blushing.

"Well... I think if we collect data of more than one man, we could contrast it better."

"But aren't you embarassed to know these things about him..."

"No. Since I'm asking as a doctor, not as his son."

"What are you whispering there?" asked Mr. Edelstein getting nervous. Roderich smiled to him.

"Ehm... so..."

"About that kind of information."

"Well do not whisper about that or I will stop answering your questions!"

"You didn't ever start."

"Well... I can go on just because you need it for school, but... do not whisper!" He warned them.

"Ok, ok" Roderich raised his hands, inocent.

"And question correctly"

"What do you mean?"

"Ask one easy direct question at time."

"Ok, how long does it take you to get excited?"

"I-I would say... ehm... as an average... a minute..." he looked at his wife, sideways

again.

"We aren't timing him, mon chou."

"Do you think you could do it in the future?"

"T-take... the time? isn't it enough for you just to have an approximate?"

"This is scientific research, vater."

"Alright, alright. I do not have a precise answer for you either on regards of how long... it endures. But I can tell you it is a long time!"

"Again, I need the exact time or we will need another healty man to try."

German blushed.

"I believe you do not realize that measuring the time is not precisely easy..."

"You are a healthy man, mon chou" pointed Gala.

"Although he does not have sex... or do you?" Mr. Edelstein looked at him intently

"W-What?" Roderich blushed.

"No, but he could be aroused anyways" added Gala.

Vash blushed again thinking of Roderich's... arousal rubbing against his leg... and his hand. The soft and sleeky sensation of his manhood against him. His breath on his ear. Oh... dear. He felt that the temperature had risen.

"Maybe you could time yourself, is what I say" explained Gala "what do you think, Vash?"

"I wasn't thinking of anything like that!"

Vash yelled a little, guilty and blushed.

"What?" Roderich was still blushed.

"I mean, you are part of my son's research, you do think it could help you?"

"We will not compare each other! What are you saying!?" Vash stop yelling, please.

"Who is your test subject?" asked Mr. Edelstein not reading the atmosphere at all. "You need to compare a man in the same circumstances."

"A-anyway, I prefer to ask Ludwig for that help."

"We can try and measure my time... do you think it is enough?" Mr. Edelsein whispered to Gala.

"Yes, but... don't tell him, for now."

"Why? You want him to believe that his father finishes in just a second and does not satisfy his mother?"

"No, because I prefer that he experiments and knows about his own body."

"Hopefully he will not experiment with any woman."

"He will do if he wants."

"No, he will wait until he finds a good woman to be married."

"So..." Gala tried to push them a little.

"This is the restaurant..." declared sighed with that answer.

"Anyways, Roro, you will only see Ludwig for a few times, I don't know if it will be enough."

Vash took Roderich's hand and squeezed it a little.

"I don't want Ludwig to know that I am sick..." the swiss whispered.

"He won't know."

"But how are you going to... do it? Don't you think..."

"What?"

"You could do it. Both... "

"Both what?"

"You and me..." he blushed "let's talk about it later..."

Roderich swallowed a little and nodded. Vash squeezed his hand and blushed because he had just proposed that whatever Roderich did to him... he would do the same... And he nodded.

That means that... you are ALLOWED to do to him whatever he do to you. Which is quite dangerous too!

Nah, he actually nodded to talk about it later.

That's what we thought in the first place! Do not mess with us!
