On the border of the countries of Finland and Sweden, was a large town. That town had an extremely high crime rate, and the police officers always had to stop gangs, and prevent bad things from happening. The thing was, since the town was between two
countries, both police forces dealt with the crimes. The police forces were kind of like rivals, though when they needed to, they helped one another out.

"I need backup, can you send someone in to help me?" A Finnish officer said into his walkie-talkie. He was parked outside of a shady looking house, and it was late at night. He had followed a drug dealer to the home secretly, and suspected others to be
in the building.

"Sorry Tino, We're all busy right now, but I think I can get someone from the Swedish police force to come help." The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie responded.

Tino sighed in annoyance, before holding down the response button. "Okay. I guess that'll be okay." He said in mock cheerfulness. There was a certain Swedish police officer his friend on the walkie-talkie knew that he had the hots for. There were
Finnish officers that could be spared to help, but Tino's friend just wanted to mess with him. And Tino knew it.

"Okay great! I'll make sure they send someone." The voice blared back.

"Yeah. I'll wait here until then." Tino replied, backing his car up a bit to look inconspicuous.

There was silence on the walkie-talkie, and Tino waited for the backup to arrive. Presently, another car pulled up next to his, window rolled down. The Finn rolled down his own window to speak, and saw that it was, in fact, his crush. Shit.

"Hey. Are you the backup, Berwald?" Tino asked, looking seriously into the other police car.

"Ya. I was told to come and assist you." The man in the other car responded in a deep swedish accent.

Tino nodded, and got out of his car. The Swede followed suit, and they both closed their doors. Silently, the two snuck up to the creepy house with weapons in hand just in case there were any problems.

They followed usual procedures, sneaking around the side of the house to peer into windows. What they saw inside confirmed Tino's suspicions...and he knew they would need many more people to get everything resolved.

"We can't get this done alone. You saw how many people were in there!" Tino shout-whispered when they got back to the cars. The two stood between their cars conversing in hushed tones.

"Ya. I saw. There's definitely something up." Berwald replied, leaning on his car. "I'm gonna call in the special force team." He took out his walkie-talkie, and spoke into it quickly in Swedish. Tino waited patiently for him to get done, leaning
against his own car.

The two had met years ago on the job. They had both been the leaders of their branch of operations, and were forced to band together to stop a huge robbery. It was a success, and they worked together occassionally on small jobs afterward. That was
when Tino realised he had feelings for the tall, stoic officer. He didn't think that the other man was gay though, so he knew there was never a chance with him.

Berwald got off the walkie-talkie, and put it back in his pocket. "The Swedish special forces are on the way. I heard that your force is already doing something right now, so you can leave it to me." He told Tino.

"My force doesn't need my assistance right now, they're perfectly capable on their own. I can stay here." Tino replied, not really feeling the need to leave quite yet.

Berwald nodded his head, and went around to the side to get in his car. Tino did the same, and they drove further down the street away from the house. Again, they parked and got out.

"Okay. Now that we're in a safer place, we can talk." Berwald said, going to stand next to Tino so they could chat.

Tino was eager to get going on the case, but there were a few minutes to spare before the others arrived. So he just kept patient. "Yeah." He stated, pushing a strand of his light blonde from his eyes.

"But anyway. You don't need to come on this mission." Berwald continued, his face serious. He always looked a bit intimidating, but Tino was used to it and didn't mind.

The smaller blonde glared for a moment at his taller counterpart. "And why not?"

"You could get hurt. This is dangerous."

"Same for you! And since when have you cared about that?"

"Since I realised just how much I need you."

There was a silence between them, Berwald waiting for Tino to understand...and Tino just being all confused. After a moment, the Finn spoke.

"So you wanna be friends now? Is that what you mean?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side in confusion.

Berwald sighed quietly. "No Tino."

"But...why?"

"Because i'm in love with you."

Tino was startled, and looked up at Berwald with wide eyes. He wasn't confused any longer, but knew what he had to do. Without another word, he stood on tiptoe to peck a kiss on Berwald's lips.

The other man looked just as startled as Tino had, but wrapped his arms around his waist. After a moment of brief hesitation, Berwald leaned downward to press a longer kiss onto Tino's lips.

That was when the special force unit decided to arrive. Tino heard the cars, and broke off the kiss. "We should go out some time." He whispered to Berwald, before getting back in his car and driving off.
