We Were Victims Of The Night; The Chemical, Physical Kryptonite

Who: Tatara and Prussia (and maybe some more Hetalias)
What: Tatara has teased Prussia successfully into accepting a date.
Where: Starting at Prussia's house, then on to the Speakeasy
When: 10/11
Warnings: TBA!

After the recovery from the paintball event, Tatara spent a bit of time resorting some things. But he doesn't let himself stay low over the whole ordeal for very long. After all, he promised someone a date forever ago. Just... Craziness happened to get in the way before he could fulfill that promise. And now he decided was a great time to make good on it. He simply sends only one message to Gilbert:

I'll be there soon! Get ready to go and I'll pick you up shortly ^^

And, within half an hour, he's knocking on Gilbert's door, all smiles as usual. When Gilbert answers the door, Tatara will offer his arm for Gilbert to hook onto (Just to see how Gilbert will react mostly).

"Ready for our date?"

[He will... not opt for the arm. Sorry, Tatara. Wait til he gets a few beers in him first and that could change.

Asking him to talk about himself is a good way to get him to loosen up, though. His ego is never not up for fueling.]

What do I like? You mean like, hobbies? Hmm... Video games! Especially online ones. Battlefield and Call of Duty are the best. [Though he tends to skip those WWII volumes of the games... Too soon, man.]

And movies... Horror movies are the best. The gorier, the beter.

[Tatara just smiles as he listens. War video games, huh? Yea, that makes perfect sense for Gilbert to be into. He can picture it perfectly clear. Tatara would rather watch than play, if he can get the Gods to produce such a thing. Especially after the last game that was supposed harmless. He's not so sure he can trust anything like that so soon. ~~Not that he minds others doing it, just leave him out of the participation field.~~]

Oh, horror movies! Something like that would be fun. I always find the gory ones kind of funny, actually. You can always see the special effects, no matter how good the makeup artists get. The old Japanese movies where blood squirts from a vein in a stream, though, are particularly great.

Any classic favourites?

Hmm, let's see. [Prussia rattles off a list of mostly obscure German movies and directors he loves, and Tatara probably has never heard of. Not because he's a film snob - he doesn't have a pretentious bone in his body. He just has too much free time and has deep dived into the genre. He also mentions more popular stuff, like the Evil Dead series or old stuff by Peter Jackson, to newer and more serious movies like Raw.]

You're right though, old ones are best. Practical effects all the way!

[Yup, Tatara has certainly never heard of any of those. But he chalks it up more to different worlds than anything else rather than being a foreigner. Lulz.

Tatara can't help but smile, though.]

Too bad this world doesn't seem to have proper television or films. I'd say that we should have a scary movie night sometime.

Perhaps you like ghost stories, though? Maybe we can tell scary stories and build blanket forts sometime. That could be just as fun!

[And then a moment of pure inspiration strikes him! And he sounds clearly excited by it.]

What if we started a scary story club! Where we could get everyone in on it! Sit all in a circle and tell stories until we're all screaming and laughing. Even better, it'll probably feed Fear without him having to instigate an event.

Edited 2017-10-31 16:05 (UTC)

Scary story club, eh... [Prussia thinks on that, the grin on his face growing.]

I've got lots I could tell! Maybe I oughta write some down sometime. It's not like there's a whole lot else going on around here. Might as well give some people some fun scares instead of the real ones.

Alright! I'll definitely have to inquire about it to Mr. Fear right away! This is going to be the best!

Think of all the things we could have setup in there. I bet we could do a whole haunted house style thing, for people who love jumpscares especially.

And then we could have hot cocoa to calm down at the end of each meeting. Do you think people like marshmallows here?

[Assuming you can get cocoa and marshmallows, Tatara.

When they arrive at the Speakeasy, Tatara holds the door open for Gilbert with a wink.]

Like permanent Halloween. I gotta say, I'm more of a fan of Christmas, but this sounds pretty good too.

[You know, he probably wouldn't have thought anything of Tatara opening the door until that wink. His pride is so conflicted tonight and the date hasn't even really gotten going yet.

He'll just have to hurry to the bar and order beers for the both of them then. :|]

Right! It'll be fun.

[Oh... beer. Okay, yea. He can... deal with it. He'll just smile and accept this. It's the thought that counts.]

Thank you.

[Although, it's probably not hard to see that he's sipping it. It's sooooo bitter.]

So, you like Christmas, then? What's your favourite holiday activity?

Absolutely! I think the best part is... [He thinks in it for a moment taking a thoughtful sip from his mug.] Cutting down your own tree. Heading out into the snowy mountains and hunting till you find just the right one, then coping it down and taking it home to decorate... It's very satisfying!

[Don't think he doesn't notice Tatara's reluctance to drink that beer.]

... Is that no good? [Weird, his seemed fine!]

That sounds like alot of fun! I would have loved to have been able to do something like that with our Princess. We'd decorate it all in Red, with all the garland and ornaments. I bet she would have loved it.

[Alas, he'll never get to return home to make the suggestion. He died right before her birthday, which is sad, and even causes him to furrow his brow slightly.

Annnnd of course Gilbert notices his reaction to the beer. Time to play it off.]

Ah, it's fine, it's fine.

[He'll put up with it. Don't worry about him.]

I like a tree all done in blue 'n white myself... Wait, your "Princess"? [Say what?

And clearly that beer is not fine. Maybe a different kind, then? Disappointing though that Tarara didn't seem to be enjoying a German-style beer...]

Do you... Do you not like it? I can get you a different one!

[Tatara might want to stop him before he orders him a different beer.]

Yes, our Princess. A little girl our clan took under our wing. [He smiles.] Blue and white are nice, but she can only see Red. And how her face lights up when she sees it.

[Anna is a very quiet type of girl, and her smiles are subtle. But anyone who knew her could see when she was ecstatic. And Mikoto's Red did it the most.

Tatara's hand flies out and sets it on Gilbert's arm before he can raise it to summon the bartender over. Whoops.]

Nowaitstop. [It's uttered as if it were practically a nervous chuckle.] It's just bitter. I only like fruity drinks.

[Okay wait what]

You... don't drink beer. At all?

[Sorry but as Prussia he always has a hard time processing people like this.]

Not usually. The bar I used to help at would serve all sorts of drinks, so I didn't usually have to drink beer.

[Izumo knew just how to make them for him, too. They were always super sweet with lots of different flavours.]

I guess you could call it a childish taste.

[He can't help but look disappointed.]

Y'know, there's a beer out there for everyone, but our selection here is limited. I guess I should be happy we got any at all.

[He scratches the back of his head.] You'll haveta order that, then, I don't know anything else.

[Tatara will have to teach him about Midori.]

[You don't have to ask him twice. He instantly orders the sweetest cocktail he can, per recommendation of the bartender, and happily sips away. He's not even sorry for that disappointed look on Gilbert's face.

Though, he does do something else, with a big, bright smile.]

Want to try some? I don't mind indirect kissing.

[He's also back to teasing again, though the offer is sincere.

And a pause for thought.]

Though, I do miss the direct kissing, too.

[And that's said just as honestly, too.]

[At first, Prussia almost laughs off Tatara's offer, as if he'd ever like something that sweet. The indirect kissing remark cuts that off, though, and he wonders if he needs to try it now or otherwise look like some kind of wuss because. Indirect kiss. No, come on, that's not even a thing, that's some sort of thing kids do--

As he reaches for the drink, he stops dead at Tatara's next comment. It makes him flash back to when they were "married" for a moment. The direct kissing was nice, wasn't it?

Having absolutely no idea what to say, and possessing the social skills of a pile of bricks, Prussia tries to laugh it off behind his own beer glass. He really needs to drink more of this to survive this night.]

H-Ha! Right? So your drink is good now, yeah?

Oh.

[That definitely wasn't an objection. Gilbert's adorable. But he knew that already.]

Yea, it's fine now.

[He takes a long drink before he sets it down and turns himself to face Gilbert properly in his seat.]

Want a kiss, then?

[It's an honest offer. No teasing this time. Just a smile.]

[Tatara's not the only one hurriedly finishing their drinking. Prussia needs to do the same in order to give himself a few extra second to think. Plus he needs that liquid courage. It was probably Tatara's discarded beer that he's finishing, too. Can't let that go to waste.

Prussia's philosophy during his many hundreds of years of life has been that being alone was awesome. It was totally the best! He was absolutely never lonely as he watched his fellow nations form unions and be happy together for ages to come. Solitude was strength and he was the strongest guy around!

But things were different now. Very different. He wasn't even really a nation anymore. Here in Hadriel, he was practically just another human. How many people even knew about his nation status? Tatara didn't even know. Maybe, with whatever limited time he has left, he should just act like a normal human and enjoy himself. And this is what normal humans did.

He puts his beer glass with an enthusiastic thud, and gives him a smile and a nod.]

Yeah.

[Except... he doesn't move. He can't. Look, he got this far, that's a pretty big step for him already.]

Edited (HTML is my nemesis) 2017-11-18 06:07 (UTC)

[Well, then, look at that enthusiasm. Tatara can't help but chuckle a bit.

It's totally okay, Gilbert. Tatara's been the aggressor thus far. He certainly doesn't mind taking the handles when it comes to the next move(s).

Tatara slides off of his chair and brushes his hands to Gilbert's waist, resting his hands on the other man's hips. And he leans in, pressing his weight into Gilbert slightly as he brings his lips to the former-nation's, closing his eyes as he kisses him deeply.

And he even nips the man's lower lip. Look, he'd probably be lying if he said he didn't expect at least a little something from this date. Teasing Gilbert was only part of it. But that hadn't been his only intention to ~~bully~~ bait Gilbert into a date with him. The blond totally knows what he wants.]

[Prussia is taken by surprise at first with how deep the kiss is, but it's not unwelcome. A hand slips around Tatara's side as he kisses him back, and that nip gets an startled smirk out of him. For all that teasing he'd been doing, Tatara was apparently more serious than he'd imagined.]

... You're free to do that anytime you like.

[Smooth, Gil.]

[Well that certainly sounds like an invitation. Tatara smiles at Gilbert and then gives him another kiss, pulling on Gilbert's hips to pull him closer. He's more than willing to take Gilbert up on that offer.

When he pulls away again, he gives a small chuckle.]

Same goes for you. I wouldn't mind that every now and again.

[Wow. This date is going much better than Prussia expected. Was this too fast? Did that matter since they were "married" before? How do humans even deal with dating, he doesn't even know--

Right. Date. That place where they were now. There wasn't a lot of folks at the Speakeasy tonight, but they were there nonetheless. Suddenly, Prussia gets very self-conscious of this, if the way his eyes dart around to check is any indication. That, and his face gets pretty red. He hasn't moved away from Tatara yet, though.]

I, um. Should we... be taking this date somewhere else?

[Look, as far as Tatara's concerned, none of this is too fast. And them having been 'married' before definitely contributed to helping things along.

Ah. And he does notice how self-conscious Gilbert seems to be getting. That's alright. He's nothing if not understanding. Besides, being out of the public eye could do more favours. And he's almost certain that's what Gilbert is getting at.]

Of course. Will that be my place or yours?

Oh, uh...

[It dawns in Prussia that he doesn't know if Tatara has roommates or not. But he definitely doesn't. He lives alone at the top floor of one of the apartment spree.]

My place'll work.

[At least now maybe Prussia's confidence is winning out, because he'll be the one to get up and go, leading Tatara with him by the hand.]

[Tatara might have stumbled a bit when Gilbert took him by the hand, and he gives a blink. Then another smile.

Well, it would appear that Gilbert knows what he wants, too. Good, then he definitely knows where this is heading. He'll let Gilbert lead him to his apartment and wait patiently for the door to be opened. And then...

Well, he doesn't have to hold back anymore. He'll grab Gilbert by the collar and yank him close, kissing him hard.]

[Prussia was wondering exactly how to proceed on their way there. Should he offer Tatara a drink? But he only had beer! Would Tatara notice the excess amount of fluffy blankets and stuffed animals he stocked up on during Love's return that he has stocked up on? There was more before he gave like half of them to the clinic, even.

Thankfully, Tatara wipes all of that clear out of he head immediately before he can even say anything. That forceful kiss gets a surprised, then happy noise out of Prussia, who has to shut the door with his back now. He pulls Tatara along with him has he does, wrapping his arms around the other man's waist to bring him close.]

[Tatara picks up where he left off at the bar, nibbling on Gilbert's lower lip as he releases the other man's collar, moving his hands to the buttons and steadily undoing them, working his way down the belt.]
