Liet was still asleep beside me. He could sleep through practically anything. He was sleeping on his stomach, leaving his back totally exposed. For the past hour I had been entertaining myself by beautifying his scars. A flower here, a heart there, all in pink of course. Once I was satisfied, I flipped his hair out of his sleeping face. I wrote, "I love Liet!" across his forehead. For the finishing touch, I put on my brightest shade of lipstick and kissed his cheek. I wondered what his face would look like if he woke up and I wasn't here. That could be interesting. I slipped off of my bed without making much of a disturbance.
Every wall of my house was pink. I hadn't remembered it being this pink, but it sort of felt like a nice touch. I passed by the living room and sat in each plushy cushion.
Then, the phone rang. Who could possibly be calling me. I mostly just had the thing to talk to Liet when he was at Russia's.
"Talk to me," I said.
"Hello, Poland? This is Russia speaking. I was wondering if Lithuania was there."
"That depends. What do you want?"
"Ah! That sounds like yes! Poor Lithuania played a very mean trick on me. We don't want children who don't get along, da?"
He was beginning to make me mad. Liet was mine. "Actually Russia, where Liet may or may not be is none of your god damn business. So I suggest you back the fuck off. And if you ever try to come near me, my house, or Liet. I will send a herd of rabid ponies your way. And believe me they will have pointy teeth. Plus, Warsaw will become your capital. Have like a totally great day!" I slammed the phone down. At that moment I remembered something really important.
I ran outside. I can't believe I had almost forgotten about him. I jumped onto the fence.
"PONY!" I shouted. I couldn't see him. I could hardly remember the last time I had seen him. We had to leave him behind before we had gone to visit England.
I heard a familiar neigh. Pony came trotting up from the other side of the fence. He nestled his soft nose into my hands.
"Pony! I was like totally worried about you! Sorry for being away so long. What's up?"
Pony neighed again. He was so smart or finding his way home. He looked so neat and groomed. Pony couldn't have done this himself. Had Liet been taking care of him while I was gone?
Speak of the angel, I could feel his harm arms wrap around my waist. His lips nestled into my neck.
"I had a feeling you'd be out here," he mumbled.
I reached back for his head and weaved my fingers in his hair. How disappointing. I wouldn't be able to see his reaction. Some other time maybe.
"Sorry Pony. It seems I'll have to steal Poland away for a bit."
"Hmm?" I said partly out of curiosity, partly out of pleasure.
"I have somehow accumulated a lot of graffiti while I was asleep. I can't reach most of the places, so I need someone to help me get it off. You up for it?"
I twisted around in his arms and sat down on the top of the fence. This was only a transition point so I could hook my legs around him. I kissed his untouched cheek, leaving another kiss mark.
Liet's lips went for mine. His coerced my lips open to allow his tongue to meet mine.
"Well, good morning to you, too," I said once we parted. "I suppose I could help you out. I don't know how you manage let yourself get written on so often."
"Well, you're not perfectly clean either." He pulled out a sharpie and wrote on my forehead as well. If I had to guess what he wrote, it would be, "I love Poland!"
"Tell you what. You help me, and I'll help you. That's how we've always done it. We are partners after all."
I pretended to think for a while. "Deal!" I let Liet carry me back home.
AN: Had to add this one last bit because I almost forgot about Pony! Thank you for staying this long, and for all your support. I don't know if I'll do another full story, but I will make another one just to add little arcs following the couples lives. They will not necessarily be chronological. Please look forward to it!
*A mysterious guest just gave me a suggestion for another full story. I was intrigued so I tried a bit of it. Looks like there will be another full one! It was kind of a weird request: SuFin but with femsweden. I think I'll call it Something Like a Tomato Box Fairytale.
