SuSwiss: Be Yourself

"Poor Liechtenstein. Sometimes I feel sorry for her."

"I know. Must be hard having an older brother like that."

"Yeah. He's such a control freak."

Switzerland gritted his teeth. He knew full well that they were speaking about him. So, he wasn't very social. That didn't make him uncaring, as he had also heard people say on occasion. And dammit! He was less of a control freak than Germany, and he wasn't nearly as strict as England or Germany. But that didn't matter to them, did it?

He sighed in frustration, sitting down at his seat. He chanced a glance at the chair next to him and smiled, seeing the name that was on the card.

They had taken an alphabetical approach this time with the seating arrangements, which meant that he was next to Sweden.

…

Sweden watched the smaller nations scatter away, looks of fear on their faces. Denmark chuckled when he saw that.

"Wonder what they would have done in our Viking days?" Denmark said. "Back then, you almost deserved to be feared. But now…"

"Shut it," Norway, said, smacking Denmark on the back of the head.

"Uh oh," Finland said. "It looks like they arranged the seats alphabetically."

Sweden felt his heart flutter, though no hint of that appeared on his face. Denmark sighed in frustration.

"Great," he said. "That's just perfect. Let's get this meeting over with then, alright?"

The Nordics split off to their respective seats, and Sweden was happy to see that Switzerland was already there. Switzerland smiled at him when he sat down.

Asides from the Nordics (except for Finland on occasion), Switzerland was the only one that didn't see Sweden as a frightening person. And while he was quiet around even the other Nordics, Sweden was very open with Switzerland.

…

During the meeting, the two appeared to be taking notes, while in actuality they were playing tic-tac-toe. So far, Sweden had won three rounds while Switzeland had won five.

No one thought that the two of them were doing anything else, other than paying attention to the meeting.

Finally, though, a break was called. Switzerland stretched out in his seat before he looked at Sweden.

"Want to go grab some lunch together?" Switzerland asked.

Sweden nodded.

"And then maybe get some ice-cream afterwards," Sweden said.

"Now you're speaking my language. Come on, Ber."

…

Anyone walking in on the two eating ice-cream together would have thought they were going insane. England's fairy friends would have been easier to explain than what they had seen there.

The two of them were joking and laughing. Switzerland even smeared some ice-cream on Sweden's face. And it wasn't just ice-cream. No, they had taken the extra step and put sprinkles on them.

Sweden and Switzerland were happy, though. It was only around each other that they could behave like that.

Sweden noticed that there was a lot of ice-cream around Switzerland's mouth, and used the opportunity to steal a kiss from the smaller male. Switzerland smiled, kissing back.

Yes, anyone who had seen them would have gone into shock.

The prompt was: 'Vash and Berwald's favourite aspect of their romance is the ability to be themselves. Vash knows everyone views him as a strict, uncaring control freak. As for Berwald, he knows he appears frightening and he's too quiet, but for both of them, it's actually quite the opposite. Around each other, they can be the warm, affectionate, and even silly people they are without judgement. And with that, they know that finding each other was simply the best thing that could have happened to either of them.'
