And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

Berwald ran to the place where he and Tino had once slept under the night sky. It was close to night by the time Berwald got there. He didn't realise this is where Tino wanted Berwald to go. Tino didn't even know himself why he wanted to go there. He just thought it meant something.

Berwald sat on the grass and looked up at the stars which he and Tino once looked upon. Something felt wrong for Berwald. He felt he had to do more. He got up again and went away. He was away to try and recreate something special.

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

Tino watched from his hiding spot on the edge of the forest. He saw Berwald come back with two big heavy bags. "What is he doing?" Tino thought. Tino wanted to go out there and reveal himself but he decided against it though it took every ounce of his strength to stop himself. And that's a lot of strength he's using, which means he really, really wants to go to Berwald.

Berwald begun setting up two sleeping bags as Tino watched in interest. Berwald began building a small pile of sticks with some paper and he lit it alight. After a few minutes of poking and adding wood, the fire was soon as big as one of the bags. One of the bags had not been opened and Berwald seemed to have been ignoring it.

Tino didn't know what he was doing when he took the first step out his hiding place and even when he took the second step towards Berwald, sitting beside the fire. But he did know what he was doing when he took the third step and started running toward Berwald. Tino knew exactly what he was doing.

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

Berwald hadn't even noticed Tino until he had his arms around Berwald. Berwald actually jumped and maybe even squeaked in surprise. Tino had taken him by surprise. Berwald was speechless but Tino filled the silence.

"Sweden, why are you here? What are you doing? I don't understand. How did you know? Is your feelings still the same? Did you-" Tino was blabbering and Berwald give a small laugh that made Tino go silent suddenly. "You... laughed? I thought you couldn't laugh or something!"

"Finland, it's nice to see you," Berwald said, pulling Tino onto his lap and hugging him tightly. Berwald didn't want to let go ever again. But Tino was struggling in his arms.

"I never said I forgave you yet!" Tino said, turning his back to Berwald as best as he could.

"Do you forgive me?" Berwald asked, letting his arms drop, releasing Tino from his grasp.

Tino stayed quiet before turning around. "Maybe. I'll forgive you when I meet you." And with that Tino got up and went over to one of the sleeping bags.

Oh, you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah, I just haven't met you yet

Berwald woke up the next day to the sound of one very annoying voice. Oh yes, the voice Mathias rang clear through the air. Berwald sat up quickly and saw Mathias being an idiot, which is nothing new, in front of Lukas and Einar. Lukas and Einar both had the same blank looks they usually wore. Berwald just looked about him and sighed happily when he saw Tino still peacefully asleep.

"I think Sweden's got a thing for Finland!" Mathias roared with that awful voice of his. Mathias just laughed until Lukas hit him over the head.

"Shut up, idiot. You inconsiderate ba-" Lukas was away to say when Mathias recovered quickly and covered Lukas's mouth.

"Ah, sorry Sweden about that. Lukas has no manners." Mathias tried to say without a laugh.

Einar seemed to mutter something about Mathias being the one without manners but Berwald pushed that aside. "We should be going now," Einar said as his brother and Mathias were arguing. Einar began walking off, soon followed by Lukas, who was dragging a protesting Mathias.

Berwald sighed and lightly placed a hand on Tino's cheek. He hadn't awoken to the chaos that had surrounded him. Berwald somehow knew that even if they weren't together now, they would be soon. Something just told him that everything would work out.

I just haven't met you yet
Oh, promise you, kid
To give so much more than I get

Tino awoke to find he was in a much warmer place than where he fell asleep. He sat up, still slightly tired. He looked around and realised he was back in Berwald's house. He pulled a cover around his shoulders, he was cold. He was shivering and pulled his knees up to his chest. He watched the fire flicker, and make pretty shapes and patterns.

"Like the stars," said a voice behind Tino. Tino hadn't realised he'd said his thoughts about the fire out loud. He turned around to look at Berwald. They looked at one another, into each other's eyes.

Berwald was, yet again, the first to look away. "Sweden. Why are you always the first to look away?" Tino wondered.

"I just..." Berwald begun. Little did he know that Tino had gotten up and was walking towards Berwald. "I just find it hard to stare into the eyes of someone I love so much."

"Do you mean that?" Tino was right next to Berwald. He turned Berwald's face to look at him. Their eyes connected for a moment. They both blinked. Tino made the first move and grabbed the back of Berwald's neck so Tino could kiss him.

Berwald never reacted for a moment, not registering that this was actually happening. But when Berwald did notice, he kissed back with as much force as Tino did.

I said love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
(I just haven't met you yet)
Love, love, love, love
Love, love
I just haven't met you yet

Berwald and Tino both pulled apart for air, gasping as if there wasn't much air left in the world.

"Swe-" Tino began before stopping himself. "Berwald... I love you."

Berwald smiled on this rare occasion. "I love you too, Fin- Tino."

"I'm glad to have met you at last, Berwald."
