Word Count: 2,465
You were sitting on a chair inside the library, reading a fiction book your friend recommended to you. You've been inside the library for 1 hour, using your free time to get the stress out from school.
"Hey..." A certain blonde came to your table and sat beside you. "Hi, Vlad" You turned to him and gave a sweet smile. The smile that would melt his heart. "What's up?" You asked him, turning your attention back to the book you're reading. "Oh, nothing really. I've been wondering if you want to go out for dinner tonight?" He asked casually, not a hint of being nervous at all. "Sure, a date then" You chuckled, closing the book then fixed your things.
Vladimir Popescu, one of the popular males in your school, is now your 2-year boyfriend. You actually had a crush on him when you first met him. He also had a crush on you the very first time he set an eye on you. Though he can't express his feelings for you because he might think that you won't like him. You're popular with men, after all. Most of your friends are male. That's because you are intelligent, beautiful, sweet, kind, caring, and friendly toward others.
Even his two best friends, Lukas and Arthur, are close to you. Knowing about his feelings towards you, Lukas and Arthur helped him to make you answer him. And of course, you did! The two of you started dating by the time you answered him on your birthday.
"Okay, girl. This day is more special than any other, so we will do our best to make you beautiful during your date" Your Hungarian friend stated, walking back and forth. "Elizabeta, you always say that" You sighed. "And how can you say that this day can be more special than any other 'special day'?" You asked.
You are currently inside your room, getting ready for your date tonight. And Elizabeta Hedervary is there to assist you in getting ready. She is your best friend, and she is the one you can count on. "Okay, which of these two is more appropriate?" You asked the female, showing her two dresses in your hands.
In your left hand, a black dress with a white hem, sash and bow behind the dress. On the other hand, you held a pinkish-white strapless dress with a white sash. It has a pink bow behind the dress. "Hm...? How about the white one. Since your date is at night, I want you to be the focus on the date. Meaning that Vladimir will not break his attention off you" She winked at you as you blushed pink.
After you finished changing clothes, Elizabeta put on light makeup on you and then combed your hair. "You know Elizabeta, it seems that you've become my older sister," You told her, blushing slightly while she tied your hair into (favorite hairstyle). "Yup! Actually, I wanted to have a younger sister. And by the fact that you're younger than me and as well as my best friend, I felt that you're my younger sister from the start" Elizabeta smiled as she continued to tie your hair.
After you finished preparing for the date, the brown-haired female dragged your downstairs and then pushed you outside your house. "Enjoy!" She yelled as she slam the door close, with you standing on your doorstep. "Hey, beautiful" Vladimir appeared out of nowhere and greeted you. he was standing in front of you, very close to your face. "Hey Vlad, I'm sorry I took long" You greeted back then apologized, kissing his nose. "And it seems that Elizabeta pushed you outside the house, even though it was your house" He chuckled then lead you towards his car. "Yeah, I know" You chuckled with him.
Vladimir drove the car to a place you don't even know. When the two of you got to the place, he stopped the car and then assisted you outside. The place was near the river and the buildings from the other side gave light to the place. The garden was decorated with (favorite flower)-flowered bushes and there are fireflies flying around the place. There is a white table in the middle of the garden with two white chairs around it.
"Beautiful..." You breathed in awe after seeing the wonderful place before you. "Do you like it?" Your boyfriend asked you. "No, I love it!" You shook your head then gave him another heart-melting smile. "Well then, let's settle down" He pulled you towards the table and then let you sit on the white chair. "Um... Vlad? I was wondering..." You called him, looking down at your lap with fingers fiddling.
"Yeah? What's the matter?" He asked worriedly. "I was wondering, what is this place? We've never been here for as long as I know, and you never told me about this" You said, looking at the surprised but later smiling Romanian. You blushed red then steam came out from your head. "You're cute when you blush" He complimented, palm on his cheeks while looking at you with a smile. "J-just answer the question already!" You pressed the question back as you blushed even redder then placed your hands on your face, covering your flushed face.
"Alright, alright" He chuckled. "We planned that we will have our date here, in this place" He answered your question. "'We'?" You removed your hands from your face and then raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Lukas, Arthur, and me. Additionally to that, Elizabeta also helped us with it" He said. "I see, no wonder she kept saying that this night will be special" You shrugged and then sighed. "Anyways, do you want to see some magic?" He asked you. "Oh, sure!" You replied, interested.
"Here it goes..." Vladimir raised his wand and then waved it in the air. Some sparkles appeared as well as glowing blue and green light near his wand. He pointed at the middle of the table then magically, a candle stand with three lit candles appeared, together with (favorite flower) around the candle stand.
"Amazing..." You breathed as your eyes widened in awe, looking at the object before your eyes. "There is still more to that," The blonde said, earning your attention. You looked at him and he gave a smirk, his fang was shown. He waved his wand again then pointed at the ark that was above the table the two of you were sitting. Then, (favorite flower) appeared and decorated the whole ark, and the fragrance of the flower entered your nose.
"You're full of surprises, Vlad," You told him, placing both of your elbows on the table. You rested your chin on top of your entwined hands, admiring the well-known 'vampire' before you. Sometimes, just admiring his looks made your heart flutter, feeling way head over heels for him. He noticed that you were looking at him then smiled, you broke out of your trance and then blinked a few times. When you realized what you are doing, you removed your elbow from the table and then flushed red. Somehow, the red-eyed blonde managed to make you blush several times now. You thought that it was all magic, that you might be under his spell. Even though it is, you don't want to break that spell, you wanted him.
"So, are you hungry, [Name]?" He asked as he put his wand away. "Yes, I am" You replied while playing with the fireflies that flew near you. "Well then..." You heard Vladimir say, smirking in the process. After a while, a plate was placed in front of you. You looked up to who is it then noticed that it was Arthur, Vladimir's British best friend.
"Arthur? Why are you here?" You asked, surprised that you didn't notice the Brit earlier. "I'm here to help Vladimir with his date" He replied bluntly. "So it means that you are our waiter this night?" You joked, chuckling a bit. He growled a bit as Vladimir chuckled with you. "Yes, but I was forced into this place, after all," He said, glaring at the Romanian who just gave him a grin, revealing his fang again. Arthur sighed. "Anyways, just enjoy the two of you. The faster the two of you finished, the faster I can go home and practice some magic" He grumpily said then walked away.
"He's such in a bad mood, what happened?" You asked your boyfriend. "He had issues with Francis and Alfred, and now I forced him to agree to this which made him more grumpier" He explained, imitating a grumpy troll when he mentioned 'grumpier'. You laughed at his jokes then took the spoon from the side and started to eat your dinner.
"Wait" You suddenly said, pausing yourself from eating. Noticing your actions, Vladimir wore a worried expression on his face as he also paused from eating. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?" He asked you worriedly, placing the spoon down. "You forced Arthur to be the waiter for this night, but does that mean that he made this food?" You asked him. You always knew that Arthur is bad at cooking, and that's why you kept your distance from him when he was cooking because he always let you taste his cooking. But because you are afraid to hurt his feelings when you say that it's gross, you would say okay instead.
The blonde laughed with his eyes closed, earning confusion from you. "What's funny?" You asked. "Nothing. Do you really need to guess that Arthur would cook this? You know how burnt and gross it would look like when he cook, right?" He asked while still laughing, you thought for a second. "Hey! I heard that!" You heard Arthur's loud voice from a distance. It seems that he's been listening to your conversation for the whole time. You paled for a while when you heard his voice, you might hurt his feelings even more if he know that you always lie to him with his cooking.
"Um..." You sweat-dropped then decided to ask Vladimir again. "So who cooks this then?" You asked, he finally stopped laughing and then wiped his tears away. "Elizabeta cooked this. I told you that she helped us with this date, right?" He answered, getting the spoon again then started eating. "Oh, I see then" You smiled then also started to eat. "It's delicious! I never thought that she can make this kind of food!" You beamed after tasting the meal. "Is it? Elizabeta always cooks food for her boyfriend. And she is the one who teaches Feliciano how to cook too" Vladimir said, taking another bite of his meal. "Oh, I see" You smiled and then resumed eating.
While eating, the two of you chatted and laughed, enjoying the date your boyfriend gave you. After finishing dinner, Arthur came back to take the dirty dishes with a scowl on his face. You would say that he is pretty annoyed and mad by now, so you just prayed to God that he would have plenty of patience left to deal with his friends. A moment later, after the Brit left, you heard a slow playing of the violin. "Is that...?" You started then turned around to find the source of sound. "Yup, it is Lukas" Vladimir replied to your unfinished questions, placing a hand on his cheek then resting his elbow on the table, admiring his girlfriend's beautiful features.
He never regrets having you as his girlfriend, you are nice, kind, sweet, caring, intelligent, friendly, and beautiful. He loves the way you would pout, even though it is rarely seen. He loves your blushing red face, your cuteness, and your innocence. He is mischievous alright, but he had this romantic side of him that makes you wanna fall for him again and again.
"How about we watch the beautiful scenery over there?" He suggested to the girl, pointing at the railings in the garden. "Sure, I'd love to" You agreed, giving a warm smile. The blonde got up from his seat and then went to your side, he helped you stand up as the two of you went over the garden railings. Vladimir always treat you like a princess, and you enjoyed that, even though you sometimes thought that he might spoil you, and you didn't want that to happen. "It's so beautiful..." You are mesmerized by the shining, shimmering crystal lights of the buildings. Vladimir snaked his arms around your waist as he pulled you closer to his body. "It sure is," He said, smiling to himself.
The couple stood there for a few moments, watching the beautiful scenery before them. The Norwegian is still playing the violin which made the moment even more romantic, with the two of you sharing each other's warmth. "[Name]..." Your boyfriend called on you, looking at your petite figure. "Hm? What is it?" You asked, looking at him and meeting his blood-red eyes. "You wanna see more magic?" He asked, smirking a bit. "Definitely" You replied, giving off a smile. "Okay, here it goes!" He got out his wand and waved it in the air. After a few minutes of waving, there were fireworks skyrocketing in the sky, blasting off its wonderful colors. "Wow..." Your eyes widened at the scene.
Several fireworks made words, spelled as "Happy Birthday [Name]!" with a red heart on the side. You can't believe that you forgot your birthday today, and everyone kept it a secret to surprise you tonight. You placed your hands on your mouth as you tried to hold back tears that threatened to fall. "Do you like it?" He asked, looking at you. "No. I love it, Vladimir!" You shook your head then hugged him, and he hugged back. "I'm glad about it," He said in the crook of your neck. "Yeah, thank you very much! You guys made me happy on my birthday!" You said, now sobbing because of joy. "We made this just for you" He smiled.
The two of you broke apart as Vladimir held your shoulders, slowly leaning down for a kiss. You also leaned up to kiss him as you closed your eyes. Once your lips touched him, you felt passion and love from him, melting into the kiss. While you enjoyed your moment with him, the background made a large firework blast that was shaped like a huge red heart, and the fireflies that flew around the garden gathered around the two of you and also formed a heart. You enjoyed the best birthday gift you could receive from your beloved boyfriend and friends, especially when they made it just 'For You'.

kitchen talk
it was 3 am once again. being the summer, it wasn’t that dark, more on the grey scale, and the fading blue sky peaked out from in-between the leaves, sheding a tiny bit of monochrome beauty by the window into the building.
Hungary debated making a new coffee or just drink the remaining as it is, cold and bitter like her mood… If her mood was that. In reality she wasn’t bitter just a bit cold, from sleep deprivation and memories and things running around her mind. Whatever kept her up had the annoying habit of-
“Why.”
the deadpan voice of a certain blonde haired neighbour made her cringe a bit.
“rest assured the feeling is mutual.”
“the night and the darkness should be my domain or not?”
“oh please.” she turns her eyes but shuffles away to give him a bit more space. once again debating if she should warm up the coffee or that would cause way to much noise she stares aimlessly.
“what’s eating you today?”
“hm?” she wasn’t listening, and as his sighs informs her that may not be such a bad thing.
“nightmares?”
“nah. just… things”
“like?”
“dunno. silly things. just… things.”
“hmmm.” with a knowing hum he puts up some water to boil for his tea.
“and you?”
he curses when the fire lights up around the pot and his fingers holding it too close to the bottom.
“don’t pretend, or I will seriously worry.”
“I mean.. with what’s going around with Serbia and all…”
the man leans back against the counter
“what about it?”
the woman stirs her sugarless coffee cup.
“it’s closer.”
“than?”
Romania stares at Hungary daring her to start this conversation but she just stares back. Before it becomes uncomfortable she looks back into her cup and shrugs. the blonde just sighs again.
“do you even know why they were on the streets?”
“Covid, governmental actions about the pandemic and the lockdown.”
“ah.”
the silent hissing of gas feeding the flames bleeds into the soft murmuring of the leaves outside.
“this is what kept you up?”
“no. I just thought that maybe you have something similar going on.”
“and what about you?”
“hm?”
“it’s… strange. seeing you out here so early in the morning and not… it’s just strange.”
“you would rather I scream or cry or have a mental breakdown?”
“given your usual rutine-“
“that’s sweet, I will remember it.”
she winks at him but it’s also tame and faded like the lights, this whole atmosphere between them and the kitchen this morning is somewhat matte, not their usual sharp and bleeding encounter.
maybe this is how you talk to an old neighbour.
