middle of the wet grass of all places. But the only thing that he can think of is the beautiful muscular figure in front of him. He looks

just like a superhero from a comic book. Peter stares at the stranger, redfaced and unable to look away. *I want this guy's cooties*

((For Ger, Darling))

(( AHAHAHAHAH!!! XDDD ))

frowns at the boy sleeping on the ground. "Are you alright?" he asks, offering his hand to help him up.

[[PFFFF, YOU WANT HIS COOTIES /dies]]

gladly takes his hand, holding on tight and not going to let go anytime soon.

[OHOHO?/Shot]

((Is there a problem? /smirks))

stares as the boy is standing, but not letting go of his hand any time, soon. "...Hey, I asked if you were alright..."

"Actually, I did get a boo-boo" he points to his cheek. "Can you kiss it better?"

"...a what?" frowns as he examines his cheek, touching it gingerly. "I see nothing..."

"But Mister, it huuuuuuurts!!" he starts pouring fake tears, a trick that he'd mastered. "Its not gonna get better unless you kiss it..."

slightly taken aback by the tears, fearing multiple things right at that moment: 1) that the boy will start making a scene, 2) that the

people will think that he's a child molester.

tries to wipe his tears away, and looks up to the stranger with large adorable eyes. Not many can resist this. "P-pleeeeaaaase?"

[[THumb up to Peter]]

"..." has a hard time to resist this. "...No. I don't kiss strangers before I even know their name."

"My name's Peter Kirkland, sir." he clings onto the man's arm once again. "What's your name?"

"Peter... Ludwig is my nam,." he says.

blushed as he heard his name coming from Ludwig's voice. "C-can you kiss me now, Ludwig?"

((OTL please ignore my past tense))

(( past tense is fine. ))

((I tend to switch between the two sometimes))

"No, I'm not kissing children," he says. "Do you want some ice-cream instead?"

(( me too. >> ))

pouts. This guy is tough. "Okay, but... can we share one?" Perhaps just an indirect kiss will suffice. "'Cause I don't know if I can finish

one *all by myself*, you know"

a child that cannot eat a whole ice cream? "Uh...sure..." he mumbles, but takes him to the nearest italian ice cream parlor.

holds tight to Ludwig's hand the entire way, swinging it back and forth happily.

a bit like a babysitter as he orders a cone of ice cream for the boy.

takes a few bites of the ice cream. "Hey, Mister Ludwig! Say aaahhh~!" he says in an attempt to feed the man.

makes a face. "Ah..." he says, less enthusiasticall.

((Lunchtime, bbl))

(( bye~ ))

lifts the cone up to his mouth, only to "accidentally" get some on the man's cheek.

[...Peter is *good*.ono]

((Those little rascals, they're trickier than you might think))

makes a face, getting away from the ice cream and wipes it off his face.

with his handkerchief.

[why does this make me feel so sad... b/c Germany will not return Seland's affection like ever and little Seland is going to have his heart

broke at so young...TAT]

(( Pfft. Isn't this the theme of broken hearts already? ))

[[dislike sad kid, do not care if adult get kill in crime shiw, but if it is kid related, I curse the criminal all though the show]]

(( I don't like pedophilia, so there. ))

[do not like it as well...but sad Seland... dilemma]

(( I just noticed this, and I'm like "oh my lord *Peter*." ))

"Hey, mister Ludwig?" he asks, blushing again. "D-do you have anyone you like? Oh, and by that I don't mean friend-like, but *like*-like"

"Uh... I... don't know." he says, wondering what this *child* is asking him.

"Really? So you don't like-like anyone?!" he jumps to conclusions, eyes glittering.

"well, there IS this person i like a lot recently..."

Blushes uncontrollably, automatically assuming the other man is referring to himself. "R-really, Mister Ludwig? D-do you really...?"

(( ... Proper words cannot contain into my laughter of amusement. ))

[[knowing this is a sad ending but this is way too funny, thumb up to Seland.]]

"yes... And it happened quite suddenly, too... I mean, i liked him before, as a friend, but..." why was that child blushing that hard?

snaps out of his trance. Before? "Wait, but Mister Ludwig, we just met today!"

Blinks, then frons, staring at the boy as if he had asked him to explain Einstein's relativity theory to him... So that his little brother

Could understand it too and in all detail. Hence, the only intelligent response he could give was, "huh?"

...That was not the reaction he expected. Why couldn't he have said something like "Oh, but Peter, all this time I've always watched over

you"? He stares at the man for a long 20 seconds, piecing together what was going on. In utter shock and realization, he whispers "...You

mean, the person you were just talking about..." he stops, unable to complete his sentence and begins to cry. Genuine crying.

continues just as intelligently as before: "Er..." before he frowns when the child starts bawling, completely and utterly confused as to

what is happening just now, but before he can even process it, Peter is crying so loudly that a few passersby start staring at them

incredulously, so he quickly, he pats the boy's head, trying to calm him down. "It's okay..."

"No! It's not okay!!" he cries. "M-mister Ludwig, y-you're the person that I..." Unable to finish his sentence, he runs away wailing.

stares after him, then realizes he should do something, at least until he knows where that child lives or his parents find him.

hurries after Peter.
