"Hello."
Tino yelped and spun around to find his neighbor, Berwald standing in front of him.
"M-Mr. Sweden! I-I didn't know you were here!" Tino stuttered nervously.
"I just got here."
Tino took a cautious step back.
"I don't mean t'be scary, ya know." Berwald said, seeming to glare at Tino.
"What? I-I'm not scared of you!" Tino squeaked.
Berwald tilted his head ever so slightly.
"Yes y'are."
"I guess I'm a little scared of you, but you're not that scary!" Tino rushed through the sentence, eager to finish speaking.
"Hey! What's up guys?" Mathias yelled, running down the hallway with a stupidly wide grin on his face.
"Nothing, you?" Tino said cheerfully.
"Same!" Mathias panted for breath, then ran off in search of Emil and Lukas.
When Tino turned back to Berwald, he was surprised to find his normally intimidating face filled with emotion. It was a sadness Tino had never seen before.
"A-are you okay...?" Tino was worried about his friend, but he was still uneasy for a reason he couldn't quite place a finger on.
Berwald turned his head toward Tino, and for once Tino wasn't scared at all. The only emotion he could decipher he felt was concern.
"I just wish ya were that comf'terble around me."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"S'okay..."
Tino gave his friend a hug, and was surprised to feel Berwald gently embrace back.
Berwald strolled over to the couch that was nearest where he had been standing and sat. Tino bounced over to his side and cuddled up against him. Flustered, Berwald turned his head toward Tino and found him comfortably resting, his eyes closed.
When he found that Tino was asleep, he kissed his head softly and blushed.
He never found out that Mathias had been watching them the entire time, holding back childish giggles.
