Retail Therapy

[berwaldsverige]

Getting off the Trolley was harder than getting on... Then there were the stairs, two god damn flights of them.

"Jag är jävligt trött" Berwald complained as he collapsed on his couch in their over-crowded dorm room. Hana was all over him and he paused a moment from bitching about hopping up all those stairs to shower some affection on the excited

"Yay, Hana, you are going to have to start playing football so we can justify driving a football mums' car now." He joked. Sitting on the bed next to Berwald and peering over his shoulder at the laptop. His mind wandered to picture Berwald's new 'compound idea' and he had a momentary brain fart consisting of Mads kicking his football around a back yard with Hana. Wouldn't she love a yard to play in? Mads could probably use the space to blow off his excess energy... his imagination expanded to include Siguard tilling away proudly in an actual garden so he could stop with the sun lamps in his closet. It was bad that people thought the 'weeds' he was growing was 'weed.' Really. Siguard on weed? WAY too motivated and Mads? WAY too high strung. If Mads was a product of any drug it would be something like speed because he's way too high energy to be on pot.

Tino decided to take the time waiting for the retailer to arrive with the car to go phone his friends once he'd made it out to the hallway. He dialed Mads' phone number, as he knew that the Dane probably still had it on him. It was answered in less than a minute.

The conversation went along the lines that everyone was, physically, okay. (Though he was sure to add that 'the Russian is going through some withdrawl so despite being all smiles I know he's all pissy today, I'm just not gonna push him.') Erik was back to talking, if even only a little bit at a time, and it seemed that he was finally able to cease physical contact with his brother so long as Ivan took Siguard's place. Siguard's dehydration had finally been dealt with and he'd be given orders to procure an over the counter supplement to boost his immune system, as the stress had affected it and he had 'contracted a secondary infection' in the hospital.

"That means he's caught the flu from some sicky here." Mads elaborated in more simple language.

"Oh, I'm sorry he got sick out of this."

"Oh yeah, but he must be getting back to normal because his fever's gettin' him pissy with the nurses who keep fawning over and flirting with him. He wants to go home." Tino could hear the smile in Mads voice, and hear Siguard griping in the background.

"Are you okay Mads?"

"Me? Yeah, I guess so. I feel kind of numb. Like. None of my feelings are really strong like they usually are. They put me on some extra meds. Said it was so I could think straight."

"Now that you mention it, you are talking a little slower than normal."

"Yeah. It's the pills doin' it I think. Anyway. We're going to talk with the psyche one more time before being allowed to be released, it'll probably be later today or tonight. How's the Grizzly Bear?"

"Not so good, but he's got a project in mind, it redirects his energy away from moping. I'm encouraging it." He affirmed, worry for his big jotunn bubbling up again. "He bought a car."

"Shiiiit. Lucky. I'd steal it if it wasn't for the fact that I can't be driving while on these pills. Sucks ass. But good for him." He said. "I'm gonna go Ti. I think the psyche's gonna be back soon, and I'm not supposed to be on my phone. I'm afraid a nurse'll catch me. Talk to you later kay?"

"Kay." He smiled, trying to sound encouraging for his friend. What good timing though. Just as he hung up the blue (oh Berwald how you love blue) Swede-Mobile rolled up.

When Tino returned upstairs... Berwald was propped against the sink in the bathroom, shaving his face and he had obviously washed up in the sink too. He was standing in just his fresh clean briefs. He couldn't get in the shower for at least four days, he couldn't get the stitches wet.

He would need help getting the brace on and off to change and clean his wound dressings and he was ignoring the pain for now. They needed to get to the drug store.

Getting clean, or as clean as he could get with a sponge bath helped his disposition. Shaving off that damn scratchy beard stubble helped too.

Feeling human was a step closer to feelings normal again. He still had a way to go, but getting back to routine grooming habits helped.

"How's the Car look Askling?" Berwald asked hearing Tino was back.

[tino_suomi]

"It's shiny." He said, making sure Hana didn't sneak out. "You know what's best? We can go pick up the others from the hospital later today or tonight. I called Mads when I was waiting for the retailer." He said, leaning on the door frame of the bathroom and watching Berwald shave.

At least he wasn't catatonic at the moment. It was almost like he was normal again.

"Mads said they have to have one more meeting with the doctor, they put him on some heavy drugs. It's like he's a sloth and his brain is chugging along at a slower pace. Erik apparently lost his voice, but he's gotten it back, Ivan is in a foul mood because he can't drink while on his pain killers and Siguard's mood is equally foul as he's caught the flu from someone else in the hospital." He sighed heavily. "I just can't wait until the family's home again." He didn't even realize that he'd fallen in with mads in calling their group a family. Perhaps this compound idea was good. They already sounded like a cult by calling themselves a 'family'.

"Getting all of us in that Car would be a stretch." Berwald said setting his razor down and wiping off his face.

He smiled at Tino's reflection in the mirror. His back still to Tino watching the reflection in the mirror. "I see you checking out my ass. You'd be in trouble if it wasn't taking all the strength I had just to clean up here. I'd pounce you. It's been a WEEK since I had my hands on you without an audience." Berwald said turning around and sitting on the sink to look at Tino.

"I'm also harboring fantasies of playing Doctor with you right now. Hello nurse... where did you get those pretty scrubs?"

[tino_suomi]

"From my over protective boyfriend. He'd be very mad to see you looking at me like that. He might just punch you right in the nose." Tino teased, playing right along. He had to admit. It had been so long, and with so many people he'd had to cut his showers short so he couldn't even give himself some private relief like he normally could.

[berwaldsverige]

"So is this boyfriend bigger than me?" Berwald asked smirking as Tino posed... POSED... in the scrubs.

GOD. THAT. ASS.

Damn Tino's ability to turn his burner from OFF to REALLY TURNED ON in three nano seconds.

"I think I'm running a fever, that is entirely your fault, you might need to take care of me nurse."

[tino_suomi]

"He's about as tall as you, but he's huge in other ways too. I don't think you could compare." He smirked darkly, some of the evil he'd inherited from Mummi flaring up.

"Come on, I'll get you laid down. But all this flirting with me, I don't know if you deserve to cool down from this fever." He felt so naughty, boy had he come a long way from the shy, beat red chub-muffin he'd been at first. Gently he helped the unstable Swede back to the bed and gingerly laid him down. "Comfy?" He purred.

[berwaldsverige]

Berwald was SO TURNED ON...

He grabbed Tino as he bent over him as he laid down and pulled him roughly into bed getting a half squeak half laugh from the smaller Finn. Berwald rolled until Tino was pinned beneath him and he watched those gorgeous violet flare with the same desire he knew his eyes had to have in them too.

"I'm comfy now. Care to test your theory on who is bigger? Me or that terrible boyfriend of yours? Cause I'm getting bigger by the second I'll have you know."

[tino_suomi]

Tino was nearly breathless already. "I can tell." He purred, lifting up a leg and using his knee against the inside thigh of the Swede's good leg. Teasing him more. "Perhaps you're about the same." He sighed.

[berwaldsverige]

"Oh not nearly good enough. I must be better." Berwald growled diving in for Tino's throat. Devouring him, god it had only been a week but it seemed like a year since he had tasted heaven.

"You are way over-dressed gorgeous."

[tino_suomi]

"I didn't know you were that competitive." He purred, craning his neck to give Berwald the most access.

"And you're like a boy scout, you're all packed and ready to go before I even meet up with you." He said, massaging the jotunn's scalp and continuing his motions with his knee, loving the effect he was having.

[berwaldsverige]

"And I want you... scout's honor." Berwald said sliding his hands up under Tino's top, up and over and OFF.

Now, that was more like it. It was belly-love time. He had been denied that flesh for a week, an addict without his fix. Berwald was done with the role-play, his lips were going to be far, far to busy for talking.

[tino_suomi]

"oh yes. God I missed this." He sighed, oh his lovely sensitive little belly. He welcomed it now. Part of his mind felt that this was the weirdest time to be engaging in this kind of behavior, but it was a great distraction, getting rid of all the ills and evils they had witnessed and felt in the passed week. Right now the world could be small and simple and just Berwald and Tino.

[berwaldsverige]

Berwald needed to erase the pain, he needed to forget the world, he needed TINO. But his Damn LEG was beginning to kill the moment. He couldn't bend it and it was starting to hurt. Berwald whimpered, burying his face pressed against Tino's stomach. He wanted this so badly, NEEDED this... but the universe as always was a cruel mistress.

Not only was his leg starting to cramp, Tino's cellphone started ringing...

"God Damn it..." Berwald groaned. "Better get it Buttercup, it might be important."
