had honestly been expecting Japan...since this is his house and so can only quirk a brow in confusion. "America?"

him a strange look before changing his expression to something neutral. "Do you know when he'll be back?"

s brow goes up a second time. "And what did you have in mind for your adventure?"

nods pondering over it for a few seconds. "Why the hell not! I was just visiting to kill time anyway." He grins. "Are you ready to head out

or should I give you a moment?"

nods. "lead the way since this is your adventure."

doesn't say anything as he waits for Alfred by the gates.

shoves his hands in his pant pockets. "I've been doing alright considering. What about you? What brings you to Japan?"

doesn't answer the first question since he really didn't want to get into it. "That's nice of him, good choice in vacation spot. Next time

come over to my house."

tourists. "I don't mind at all. Yeah, he's a great friend." He agrees.

didn't know that. "So I guess it's safe to assume you come often." He chuckles lightly knowing that Kiku did get many visitors.

nods. "You still get lost even if you've visited often?"

relieved for that but was sure if it really came down to it he'd be able to find it himself. "New York is huge and aren't there some signs

written in english?" He couldn't remember...then again english wasn't his language so it usually went unnoticed.

follows. "So they are." He says as he glances down at one of the maps.

finds it surprising it isn't completely packed with people. "That makes it easier for tourists to get around although if you don't speak

or read either language, you'd be shit out of luck."

shrugs. "Ask for directions and hope someone speaks your language or a language that you speak?"

should have remembered that since that was so hardd to forget. "Right, that shit."

chuckles and gets off. "Turkish isn't, You should try your hand at that."

smiles back. "Sure, I guess we can start with hello. Ready?" He glances at him to check before going on. "Merhaba. Mer-HA-ba."

laughs but nods. "Yes, that would be it. Not bad for first time."

doesn't think his language is hard but than again it is his language. "It might, pronunciation wise, yes."

smiles. "Then that's all that matters. I like people who try even if they don't get the pronunciation down. The initiative speaks more than

words. Remember that."

can't help but agree with that. There were many who learned the language when young so if you were an english speaker traveling was much

easier. "That's true too." He gets on the next train and finds a fairly empty spot near one of the corners.

the idea. "Yeah, sure. Hmmm, next word. Tessekuler. Te-shek-uuu-lar."

nods, it wasn't bad but needed some work. "It means thank you very much or lots of thanks or many thanks."

laughs, that wasn't such a bad idea but that could be for later. "No, not now. Maybe another time but I'll let you know what it means."

lets the other lead him since he wasn't sure where they were going anyway. "But first we stick to basics. So where was it we were going

again?"

glances down on the grip and can't help but let it remind him of the hold of a child. "Perfect."

follows without protest and can already make out the area they would be swimming in. Surprisingly, it wasn't that busy.

nods. "Very beautiful. So I don't think we should waste time staring. Let's go for a swim!"

listens attentively to all the instructions as he glances over to see Alfred's expression, amused.

a little embarrassed but he can't help is size. However, when one is found he is relieved.

quirks a brow, chuckles a bit and nods. "I'm a little too tall for the people here."

quirks both brows laughing. "I'm looking down on you but my neck hurts when I'm having a conversation with Kiku or any of his citizens."

starts to do the same, disrobing and pulling on the equipment given to him. "I don't want to imagine, I stick to buying clothes in my

country or Europe."

pulls and tugs at certain areas before deeming himself ready. "Much better, probably better for you too."

shrugs. "You never know, right." He heads over to the ocean.

laughs. "I'm not either. Especially with their goddamn exclusive club." Bl

grins. "Well thanks." He says before submerging himself completely in the water.

a strong swimmer so has no problem getting to the fenced area were they keep the dolphins. (Not sure if it's fenced or not but I'd assume

it's at least roped off, right?)

can already see the dolphins swimming towards them. He can't help the small smile that makes it across his lips. "Beautiful creatures."

follows and ends up meeting one of the dolphins half way. He lets his hand stroke over its back as he pets it enthusiastically.

much more calm in comparison to the American and takes a hold of it's dorsal fin, swimming around with it.

continues to hand out with his dolphin as they enjoy a powerful swim around the area before he goes back to petting it.

wasn't judging considering how young he acted when comparing his real age.

go on to do several more laps before he lavishes the dolphin with even more attention.

had lost track of time and didn't realise that they've been out here for quite some time now.

glances up and notices a sign. "Looks like in the next hour."

chuckles. "That is a possibility. If you're staying at his place he's probably wondering where you got off too."

nods as he gives his dolphin one last pet before getting out and heading to the dressing room.

shrugs. "I feel like they're too polite to do that and we look intimidating."

smirks lightly. "Not to me but I can imagine to shorter men, yes.:

quirks a brow at that. "Is that so? Political wise I'd say you are but strength...I haven't ever really fought against you."

rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "Sure, sure. Whatever you say."

pushes his head playfully back. "I never said I didn't." He smirks.

can't help but laugh at that too. "No, definitely not."

still doesn't mind getting pulled around. "Maybe Kiku will be home when we get there." He comments idly.

settles next to him. "I hope he doesn't mind if I wash up at his place. As much as I love salt water, feeling itchy later on is not my

definition of a fun time."

knows, he's known Kiku for a long time now. "A bath would." He agrees.

no qualms with that considering the fact that if he wasn't, he'd be very lost.

liked the sound of that and was sure that Japan had taken him to something similar before. "Sounds great. I'm getting much more than I

bargained for in coming here." He laughs lightly.

shakes his head in amusement, knowing this area very well and heading to the house.

laughs. "I was about to say that it's quiet either way. He'll probably be home."

had indeed gone out for groceries, and just finished putting them away. He startles at the sudden loud call, hurrying out to greet

it. "Y-yes?"

steps through the door's threshold smiling. "Good to finally see you Kiku."

flusters a little at the hand on his shoulder, blinking between them. "H-hello Sadik," he greets. "And I... suppose that wouldn't be a

problem?"

nods a little. "O-oh, of course, if you would like to.."

watches the interaction between the two silently.

chuckles in amusement. "A bundle of energy isn't he?" He remarks.

seems a little startled as Alfred goes bounding off, looking back to Sadik. "H-he is," he agrees, flushing a bit. "It is good to see you

again, though."

him a smile. "I had been hoping to catch you here but I found him instead so it's good to see you too."

blinks at this. "Oh, have you two been spending the day together then? I'm sorry, I'd been out running errands.."

shrugs. "It was kind of unexpected of me anyway but I can't say I didn't have fun."

nods a little, smiling. "That is good then. It is... hard not to be entertained around him," he laughs softly.

quirks a brow but agrees. "So why's he here?"

blinks at this. "Oh....he just said he wanted a vacation.." he shrugs, blushing a little. Alfred hadn't told him why, after all.

doesn't believe that entirely but lets it slide. "Everyone needs a break from time to time."

nods a little. "Yes, I hope it's done him well.."he comments. "I guess he will be going home soon, however."

's attention turns to Alfred before quirking. "Well make due the time you have in that case Kiku." The corner of his lip twitches up. "I'll

let you know when I'm done." With that he went off to wash up.

nods at this, though blushing a little at the quirk and wondering if Alfred had told him anything... He flusters when Alfred ruffles his

hair. "U-uhm, I think so..."

still a little lost, following Alfred to the kitchen out of lack of better thing to do.

nods a little, taking a seat as well. "Yes, I figured it was time to get more groceries." He shifts a little, deciding not to mention

the other morning. "Did you have fun with Sadik?"

smiles a little. "It is alright, I have told you you're allowed to stay as long as you would like," he nods. "Sadik has always been a

good friend to have."

nods a little. "Ah, I forgot about that..." both of which still were weird to him. "Not as often as he used to, but that's okay," he nods.

comes out drying his hair and only dressed in a towel. "Hey Kiku do you still have those clothes I left here a while back?"

blushes a little at that but nods. "Thank you for the offer." He blinks up when Turkey re-enters, considering a moment before nodding and

getting up to go fetch them. "I believe I do, I'll go find them."

steals an apple and starts munching on it waiting for Kiku to return.

returns in a moment with set of folded and clean clothes, offering them up to Turkey.

takes them gratefully. "Thanks Kiku." He says before heading off to go change in them.

nods, sitting back down again at the counter to wait for him to return.

returns moments later, dressed and looking refreshed. "So, how have you been as of late?"

smiles at this, sitting upright again. "I have been well, same as usual. How about yourself?"

smiles at that and then shrugs. "Could be better but could be worse."

nods a little. "Ah, unfortunately that seems to be the most common state." He hums softly. "If I can be of any help, please let me know."

waves his hand in dismissal. "Don't worry about it. I've been in much much worse before."

smiles softly, nodding. "Well, that's good at least, that it's not that bad."

nods. "So explain to me this thing that we'll be going too. Alfred was speaking very quickly."

smiles at this. "It is a little like an all you can eat buffet that Alfred is so fond of. You pay one price, and you can have as much

food and alcohol as you can eat and drink within a set time frame." ((I hope i got that right))

the sound of that. The swimming had gotten him hungry. "Sounds like fun."

nods, smiling at that. "As is to be expected, I suppose. Where di you go swimming?"

can't really remember the name. "You'd have to ask Alfred. I can't remember for the life of me."

nods again. "Ah, I will be sure to ask him then."
