I don't have much else to say, than… This chap is way better than the first one xD. At least I think so. Oh, and if there's any IceLiech (you're awesome :3) fans; sorry, you'll have to wait, it'll take some time. I've got a weird plot. I might do some small IceLiech one-shot soon though I'm not sure.

Disclaimer: Still don't own Hetalia. Or Dr. Phil. Wouldn't it be awesome though?

oOoOoOo

Strange

Chapter two: I'm straight, I think?

"Tino!"

"Huh?"

The young Finn raised his browns at the mention of his name. Apparently his thoughts had been too disturbed by that scary guy he met earlier today to listen his two best friends.

"Are you okay?"

A girl with long brown hair, same age as he, asked him. Her expression seemed like something between worried and annoyed. She did care about her friends, but who wouldn't get annoyed for talking without anyone listening? After all, they were all in her apartment, drinking her lemonade and eating her biscuits. She deserved to get heard.

"Hehe… I'm fine, why are you asking?"

Tino smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of his head like he always did when he was lying. He wasn't aware of doing this, but his friends could read him like a book.

"Don't you dare lie to me! What happened?" the angry girl slammed her hands on the table they were sitting by.

"Calm down Lizzie, it's nothing much, at least I think it's not."

"You think?" the boy next to Tino piped up. He wore glasses and had blond hair, little shorter than Tino's. He generally looked a bit geekish and most of his time acted like one. He was the Dr. Phil out of the three. As two of others were better at comforting, he was better at actually solving the problems that caused the bad feelings. Yep, Eduard was the smart one of them, and he was now in his element again.

"Well… Before you showed up I met this terrifying and tall man… And I think he asked me out."

Both of his friends seemed thoughtful for little while. Eduard was thinking how did his best friend attracted ladies and apparently men so easily without trying while all the love-life he had was his computer. The girl, Elizaveta, instead soon forgot all of her annoyance and began beaming.

"Does this mean that I have a gay best friend?" she looked like a little girl that just heard she got an own unicorn. Hearing this, Eduard hit his palm on his forehead and Tino nearly fell from his chair, blushing madly, of course.

"I DIDN'T SAY I'M GOING GO OUT WITH HIM!"

"You won't go?"

Great, now the unicorn was taken away. Tino send a "PMS?" look at his male friend, who gave a small 'I guess' shrug.

"W-well I didn't say I'm not going…" he realized how interesting his knees were and focused on watching them. There was a small hole in his jeans, he should maybe buy some new ones. And maybe couple shirts too…

"So are you going to go or not?" the now frustrated girl asked. Amazing how quick her mood changed.

"I guess… I think I said 'Sure', so…" the Finn shrugged.

"So I do have a gay best friend!"

"It doesn't make him gay if he goes out with a guy once." Eduard commented.

"Thank you!" Tino sighed as Elizaveta murmured probably something they didn't want to know.

They all were quiet for a while. It wasn't awkward like when Tino sat with Belward but peaceful. Usually at least one of them was talking, but it was great to sit in silence together at times too. Eduard glanced at his friends. Elizaveta was probably making fantasies about Tino with some really sexy guy. She had spent too much time watching/reading/whatever yaoi. Tino instead looked desperate, sighing and burying his face in his arms.

"Tino, you know you don't have to go, right?" he tried to comfort bit even though he knew he wasn't the best one for that.

The Finn raised his head little and sighed.

"I guess, but who knows if he's some mafia leader and gets me killed if I don't show up."

"That's just ridiculous."

"Heyheyhey, you have to go! You already promised to that poor guy. If you're scared I'll walk you there… Where are you going to meet him anyway?"

Eduard rolled his eyes as the girl got excited again.

"At our bench."

"Great! I need to go buy some more coffee, so I'd be going to that same direction anyways. When are we going?"

"If I remember correctly, I should be there at seven."

A couple of seconds after that Tino buried embarrassedly his face in his hands.

"Now I'm starting to finally realize that I'm actually going to go out with a guy. I'm straight for god's sake!"

"Hopefully not for long." the girl chirped, but Tino just ignored her. Tino only glared at her (he was afraid to get on her bad side when she was probably PMSing) and just took the first cookie today from a small plate in the middle of the table. That's probably how Elizaveta realized that something was wrong with him. He usually eats them all within minutes.

"Didn't we need get on that project already?" Eduard reminded everyone. Apparently he likes throwing random comments every now and then.

Elizaveta groaned but didn't protest. After all, that's what they were supposed to do right now. She'd rather dream about Tino being her beloved gay best friend than work on some stupid geography project right now. Unfortunately she knew that Tino needed to think about something else, at least for a while.

God how boring her best friends were at times.

oOo

Berwald arrived to the park and sat down on the same spot as before. He wasn't usually nervous at all, but this could be the first person he was (hopefully) going to get to know with in America, apart from his two cousins of course. The Swede checked his watch to notice that he was fifteen minutes early. Soon he would see that oh-so-cute Tino again, at least he hoped so.

Time passed by, slowly but firmly. As Berwald stared at his watch he was getting more and more hopeless. 18:04, the blond hadn't come yet. 18:10, still not here. 18:16, maybe he wouldn't ever see those amazing eyes again.

Even though he was sure that his 'date' wasn't going to come, he sat there waiting. He had better things to do, but didn't go. Maybe, just maybe, he would come after all. Maybe he could wait for little longer. He'd do anything to see him again.

oOo

Tino was getting more and more nervous. Even though it was only 18:20, he felt like he was late. Eduard had left 5 minutes ago after they finished their project successfully. Elizaveta was checking her fridge and cabinets and writing a small shopping list while he sat on her couch.

"Relax, it's only one date. You don't have to see him ever again after this if you don't want to."

The girl didn't even need to look at him to notice his nervousness. That was some sort of gift she had. She called it the 'big-sis-sense'. She made a great big sister when she wasn't the crazy, yaoi-loving, boyish, rebellious and temperamental teenage girl. Sometimes Tino and Eduard thought that she might have a split personality.

"I guess so… It's still… I don't know, scary? Awkward? Unpleasant?"

"You've faced worse things you know."

Tino shrugged. He certainly had faced worse things than this. Right now he didn't really want to think all of it, so he shook those thoughts of.

She then sat next to him and hugged him. She lived alone in a small, really small, apartment. The living room and kitchen were built together. Other than that she only had a very small bathroom and bedroom. She could fit only her closet and bed in there. There was nothing modern in her apartment, but she didn't really mind. She was happy to get to live there, near the center of the town. The rent was also very low, which didn't surprise anyone. Elizaveta wasn't rich, so she didn't have much to choice. She could live in this, streets or with her bitchy aunt in Hungary. She could also visit Tino and Eduard anytime she wanted, so she was quite happy living in that small apartment.

"I promise you'll be fine, okay?"

Tino hugged her back and immediately felt a little better. Who knows how she did that.

"Yeah."

She let him out of her hug and slightly punched his shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile.

"It's almost seven, we should go."

"Yeah…" Tino decided that he can do this. Taking a deep breath he stood up. Elizaveta followed his suit and surprised her friend a bit when she started to fix his hair a bit. Tino gave her a confused look and she grinned.

"My little boy has to look good on his first gay-date."

Tino glared and pretended to be hurt. Too bad for him, he was one of the worse actors in the world. He soon broke grinning too and ruffled her hair. Now she growled at him, demanding an explanation with her eyes.

"My little girl doesn't have to look great since she already has a boyfriend."

"It doesn't mean that I shouldn't look good anymore. Anyway, let's go or you'll be late."

"Okay…"

The park was only around the corner so it didn't take long. Tino was getting a little nervous again, so Elizaveta took his hand in hers giving a small squeeze. She looked at him telling him that it will be fine with one look. He responded with a small smile and she let go of his hand, they were close to the meeting spot already, and that guy would probably misunderstand their 'holding hands' thing. A lot of people did but who could blame them. It wasn't that normal for mere friends to hug each other, walk hand in hand, feed each other or say 'I love you's.

Tino got even more nervous when he saw that certain man sitting in the exactly same spot as earlier today. Both Tino and Elizaveta stopped when they reached the sitting man. The man looked up, scaring Tino little but his best friend didn't seem to mind. She judged him with her gaze up and down. Then she smiled and left with a small 'bye'.

Tino was near panicking when he realized that he was alone with the man who didn't show any emotion on his face.

"Umm… Hi?"

"Hi. Whe'e were ya?"

"U-um what do you mean? I-I'm little early actually…"

"Of course, he probably thought that I said seven…"

Berwald lit up and he would've smiled but he knew better not to. He'd most likely scare the poor boy to death.

"Oh, so'ry abo't that." He stood up and they stood there together in awkward silence. Tino was now interested in his shoes while Berwald glanced at him every three seconds. Then he decided to break the silence and asked:

"'here do ya wa't to go?"

Tino shrugged. "M-maybe we could… Go to some café?" Why couldn't he speak without sounding like a scared 5-year old?

Berwald nodded slightly and started walking with the Finn following him. He could feel his heart beating fast as he walked next to the blonde boy. Maybe it was love at the first sight. He knew that the boy behind him didn't feel it, but he was sure that this boy would be in his life from this day on, every single day. He only had to face one problem first.

"Now, how will I get him not to be afraid of me?"

oOoOoOo

So that's about it… Umh… R&R? Please :3

Oh right! I might also do a one shot about how Eduard, Tino and Elizaveta got to know each other. Or then I'll sum it up in some chapter… I haven't decided yet :').

And for once again, I'm sorry if I made some mistakes.
