What goes BUMP in the night

Characters: Prussia and Hungary/ open
Setting: In the darkened corridors of the dorms
Format: Prose?
Summary: The power's gone out, so Prussia is scouting to try to find out why this is.
Warnings: TBA

After the power had gone out, and had been out for longer than a few hours Prussia had given up on waiting around in his room and speculating on what had gone wrong in the tower. But once he was out in the hallways, armed with his sword, was when the sense of foreboding started in. It wasn't the dark that had him worried, he'd grown through the centuries where campfires were the only source of light and being in the dark was more than just a literal sense of the word. It was the movement he'd noticed in the shadows, vague humanoid shapes that'd vanish when he'd turn to peer into the murky darkness. Yet he swore he knew the silhouette of the figures that disappeared.

What had disturbed him more had been the voices that he'd sworn he'd heard calling his name and whispering close to him. Brandishing his sword he looked around into the darkness, this was much too strange for him.

"Whatever they are, they're not fucking friendly." he sighed and coughed, giving into the temptation to just stay with her and setting his arms around her hips for more ease.

"I doubt even England could control that shit, but at least he could tell us what was going on." he grumbled and fought a yawn. Whenever she started petting him he could feel himself relax a bit more. He'd never admit it but he actually liked having his hair played with.

"Most violent spirits aren't. They enjoy sucking energy of living beings to help manifest themselves." She said quietly while she looked down at him as he got a little more comfortable on her. At the moment, she didn't mind at all, just as long as she kept him safe from whatever the hell was going on.

"Even then it'd be better than being in the dark in both ways." She frowned with her eyes glancing towards the door. Carefully, her hand moved over the back of his neck. "Now rest. You're going to need your energy back."

The hand on the back of his neck felt comforting, something he'd long since forgotten about being so much on his own for so long. It unsettled him how friendly and cuddly she was being, almost like how she'd been after she had learned of his dissolution. He wasn't dying, he was just tired and involuntarily he nuzzled against her chest. It was almost a basic reaction, something he hadn't even noticed he'd done until a few moments after when he coughed after realizing his mistake.

He smirked to himself, finding the whole situation odd. It was comforting but odd, he knew Liz couldn't stand him on a good day but then she did things like this and it threw him through a loop. So, for once, he didn't make a brash comment or pull away from her but kept still.

"...You're always around when I really need you..."

"You sound a little surprised." She said quietly as she looked back down at him only to blush a bit when he nuzzled her chest. "Anyways, I told you to rest Gilbert so- rest already." She huffed, a little embarrassed that he actually said something nice to her rather than...well dickish.

"I told you I would always protect you when we were children so that holds true even to now." Came the quiet words with her head thumping back lightly to the wall.

"Didn't think you remembered saying that to me during that thunderstorm all those centuries ago, Liz. How things change." he muttered and closed his eyes. He would humour her, for the sake that he was exhausted and her warm, soft body was better than any bed he could think of at that moment.

"It's not like it was going to be something I'd just forgot after all this time." She frowned before she rested her head gently atop of his and gave a quiet hum of a song as she stroked his hair again, helping sooth the bad feelings that this stupid tower had given in just a short time.

"No, I guess not." He smiled a little against the fabric of her dress when she started humming. He had liked it when she sang when they were kids, and it had been funny when Gilbird had tried to join in with her.

The dark still made him uneasy but Hungary was doing a pretty good job of getting him to calm down. Shifting slightly he hugged her around her hips and tried to let himself sleep as she wanted him to.

What a horrible person she had been. She almost completely forgot about Gilbird but once he started to tweet with her, she looked around on Prussia to find the little bird. "Come on out, Gilbird...it's okay. I won't let anyone hurt you either." She said quietly with a small smile. While she made the same promise to Gilbert, she said it a bit more high pitched and cutesy towards Gilbird just because it was kind of cute to see Gilbert be jealous of his own little bird.

All the while, she still kept her grip on Prussia while her hands combed through his hair wit gentle scratches to his scalp as if he were a giant cat sleeping on her lap but the pressure of his head on her chest didn't bother her too much in the current situation, nor did him slightly hugging her though it did make her cheek blush.

"Swear you like that bird more than me" came the half mumbled reply from her chest, Gilbert shifting his head slightly so Gilbird could flap out of his hiding place in the Prussian's collar to rest in his snowy hair.

To each time Hungary spoke the little bird gave a cheep and a flutter of wings, brushing against her hand in the darkness. It was a quiet moment, before Gilbert shivered and leaned away from Hungary to sneeze and grumble to himself in German about drafts. Then he was leaning against her again, making himself comfortable and trying to use her as a space heater.

"You honestly say that like you're jealous." She said playfully as she picked up Gilbird carefully to place on her shoulder. "But of which one of us are you jealous of, I wonder." She teased before concern wore on her face, despite the dark, when he started to cough and shiver.

Her breath held as he curled up more against her and lean against her, glancing away from where his form was with a deep blush staining her cheeks. Blindly reaching out, she fumbled for the blanket on the bed and pulled it off without moving much from her spot and quickly draped it over him. "Last thing we need is you getting sick now." She huffed.

"Guess you'll just have to find that out on your own." He smirked and stilled when he felt her wrap the blanket around him. He hadn't been expecting that, nor her huff which he knew was her sounding concerned.

"You know me, I sneeze and get cold easily. It's why I wear so many layers other than the fact that I burn almost as soon as I go outside." he wasn't impressed about the last part. He remembered the one time Hungary had talked him into visitng Greece back when they were still on friendly terms. It had not been what Gilbert remembered as a fun trip after his terrible sunburn. After that he vowed to stick to more moderate climates with a lot of shade and a bucket of sunscreen.

"...but thanks." not knowing what else to do he gave her another hug.

"You're just a mess." She teased with a shake of her head before tilting it barely so she could nuzzle her cheek to the fluffy bird on her shoulder. "You never tan either. You just...burn. I've never seen you so pink though. It was rather funny." With the memory, she giggled quietly and tucked the blanket around him.

Once that was done, she went back to stroking his hair while she leaned back to the wall, carefully moving her legs out from under her to rest on either of his sides so he could lay on her and she wouldn't lose feeling in them. "Comfortable?"

He smirked and sighed, leaning against her. "One hot mess, and you know it and that wasn't funny, you know how much fucking pain I was in? I couldn't wear clothes it hurt so badly." he grumbled the rememberance of that had not been entertaining. Not in the slightest.

"Oddly, very comfortable. Your chests nice, like a pillow." he muttered, he knew he was pushing it but Liz seemed to be in a good mood so he was going to poke the boundaries and see if she'd poke back. In a way he liked when she teased him and he was glad there was someone he could actually do that with that wouldn't bring down half of the UN on his head.

"I don't think I've seen you cry so much." She smirked at the memory while she glanced down at his figure in the dark. Thankfully he was light enough that she would be able to see him with the faintest of lights.

Hearing that though, about her chest, Hungary flushed and slapped the back of his head with a grumble before stroking gently at the spot she hit. "Lookit that...my hand slipped."

"Shut up, it hurt okay? And I was small." he grumbled. He hadn't been that small, maybe a young teen but it still it had hurt quite a bit.

He grunted and pressed his head more into her chest when she smacked him.

"Bullshit your hand slipped. Do that again and I'll grope you." he muttered as a threat.

Flushing just a bit more and rather grateful for the dark, Hungary huffed and gripped his hair a little strongly along the back of his head. "Do it and I'll break that other wrist of yours." She growled despite the redness of her face.

"It was nice having you so tame so...don't ruin it right now by being yourself."

"Mmmm, how did you know I liked having my hair pulled? But if you break my other wrist I wont be able to do anything and then you'll have to look after me." he smirked, teasing her but didn't make any movements to backup his idle threats.

aOIJSFSadjoai Came the mental keysmash as she flustered all the more and smooshed her hands on his face. "Don't make such ridiculous sounds." She huffed towards him before leaning back against wall heavily with a sigh and grumble. "Go back to behaving already or this will be a long night."

"You're enjoying it, Liz." he mumbled and nipped her fingers for smushing them against his face. "Course I could make that noise again, if you're going to pull my hair and we're already so nice and comfy it'd be a waste." He knew he was being an ass but his tone was light and teasing, unlike it usually was. He blamed exhaustion and being pressed up against a warm, soft body.

Being the perverted nation she was, she really wouldn't of minded sex given that it was dark, they wouldn't see one another really. More like he wouldn't see her... Shaking her head from thoughts, she looked back down at his figure and decided to make him uncomfortable. The best way she knew how to do that, was to lean down and nip his ear lobe.

"Uh... what are you doing?" Her nipping his ear had been extremely unexpected, extremely. To the extent that he froze in place despite nice and cruel things that mouth was doing to his ear.

Good. She got him to freeze and halt his actions. She continued to nip his ear and drag her tongue along the shell of his lobe before she murmured in a low tone for only him to hear. "Now behave."

"...You are the worst kind of person." he muttered, only half able to stop the shiver at the touch of her tongue on his ear. "If you're going to do that again I might keep this up." he smirked, two could play at this game, and it was a game he was very good at thankfully.

Scoffing, she just shook her head and dropped a kiss to his forehead before leaning her head back against the wall. "Just go to sleep. If we keep it up we're just going to have sex and try to see who would outlast one another. I think this is hardly the time for something so ridiculous."

"You say that like it's a bad thing. We're stuck in the dark, for an extended period of time, it's cold and there are creepy things in the hallway preventing us from leaving...seems like a fantastic idea to me." he rolled his eyes and didn't move from where he was lying on her.

He knew Hungary was a huge pervert even if she tried to cover it up by being ladylike. Maybe he could coax her into sleeping with him, after all it was dark enough that he could just barely make her sihouette out in the dark.
