The Väinämöinen Clan Shopping Excursion

[berwaldsverige]

Old habits (and cold stiff joints) woke Berwald in conjunction with the sunrise. He had slept better, the floor was hard and cold, but Nukka was curled up on him for warmth and snoring... like an old man. Berwald chuckled as he slowly sat up and perched his glasses back on his nose again. Tino was still on the edge of the bed, Hana predictably on

Tino didn't give Berwald a chance to GET into the upstairs. He met Berwald at the top of the stairs and once the Swede was at eye level with him Tino leaned forward and captured his Jotunn's lips. Their good morning kiss had been rather chaste seeing as Mummi had been in the room. He didn't want to be regulated to nothing but virginal pecks until they returned to the island.

Tino only allowed Berwald to escape once his own smaller lungs needed air, be didn't even care about the little string of saliva left between their lips when they parted. "There. THAT was our good morning kiss." He whispered into the Swede's ear. "You need your medicine?" He asked gently. He didn't like bringing it up in front of his parents, not that he felt they would judge it, but just out of respect to Berwald. Maybe the Swede didn't want it announced to the world that he was on antidepressants. Maybe, for now, Tino could just be discreet if Berwald was overdue. "You looked so sad." He added, to justify his questioning as he peppered kisses on Berwald's cheek and then backed up to let his boyfriend in.

"You know I feel bad knowing you slept badly because of me. But yes, I'm due too." Berwald said soaking in Tino's affection better than any pill he could take.

"That and well I guess I'm a bit grumpy from the cold, you know me and cold. I get pissy and moody." Berwald added allowing Tino to draw him upstairs.

[tino_suomi]

"I didn't sleep bad because of you, it was because of the bed keeping me from you and your warmth, blame the bed." He cooed, taking Berwald's hand and holding it as they went down the hall and towards the drop down steps for the loft bedroom.

"And we'll take care of getting you something warm today so you can be comfortable. Mummi and Aiti can help you for sure finding warm clothes. I wanna do some more Christmas shopping with Isi then. I haven't gotten enough presents for Hana. I wanna spoil our little girl. And you too. I feel like I wanna get you so many things for Christmas." He added as he was fidgeting with the belt of Berwald's robe.

[berwaldsverige]

"You have no idea how much I plan to spoil you for Christmas." Berwald said tugging Tino closer inside his robe so he could cover them both like a cocoon of comfort and warmth. "We definitively have to find a bed that does not creak. If I have to go three weeks without loving you I might just implode. It's only been two nights and I'm already having withdrawal symptoms. You're such a potent drug and I am addicted."

[tino_suomi]

"Voi luoja, yes." He agreed, burying himself close to Berwald so that they could be snuggled up close. "48 hours is too long. We barely even got to kiss last night, there is lost time that needs to be made up for. I can't wait until we've been a fixture here long enough where we can kiss like we mean it and not care who in the house walks in on it like my parents do. Is there a time frame for how long until that time comes because it's increadibly unsatisfying getting just a chaste peck for a good morning kiss. If I can't even get that much and blow off some of this steam I'm going to molest you in the shower. I swear." Tino promised, oh so reluctantly letting go of Berwald so they could get dressed and his boyfriend could take his medicine. "We'd probably better throw out clothes on or my family is going to be thinking we're molesting each other up here." he smiled darkly.

[berwaldsverige]

"Molesting in the shower... good idea. I'm also pretty sure your parents already know we are intimate Ti. We live together and sleep in the same bed, I think they would question it if we weren't intimate together at this point. They haven't batted an eye at the fact we are buying a bed to share. I think we are at the 'point' you speak of. I was just being respectful to our audience by not sucking out your tonsils at the breakfast table." Berwald said kissing Tino's brow.

"Now get in that shower and I'll bloody well make room for both of us in it if I have to. I have some serious groping to see too right now."

[tino_suomi]

How many months had it been? September, October, November... and half of December. Three and a half months. (And yes, Tino DID count the time that Berwald was 'Jotunn' into that mix.) Berwald had done so much to get Tino out of his shell. Before he had come to school at the start of the year Tino had been terrified of the idea of someone catching him or finding out about the things he did to himself while in the shower. It seemed so dirty and forbidden that he seriously would have wanted to melt into the ground if anyone found out. Now, he didn't give a crap. It seemed so benign and immature.

Thinking back now he couldn't believe Berwald had needed to coax Tino to touch him through his underwear or how shy he had been of being caught drooling and oggling over Berwald's naked form in the locker room. Now he found that sometimes he couldn't wait for Berwald to initiate, that he could do it himself and get the ball rolling... and on some level he'd developed a dark little fondness for it... for the opportunity to tease and flaunt and give his lover a few moments to suffer before very quickly dropping it and surrendering himself to Berwald's invading viking forces.

He practically flew into the en suite bathroom and started the water so it could warm up while he wriggled out of his clothes. More than 48 hours. They had not touched each other since the night before their flight, and of course there was no time now to invade the monastery, but there was plenty to explore and pillage in the expanses of farm lands.

[berwaldsverige]

Berwald chuckled as he stripped and followed Tino into the bathroom... they had time enough for what was commonly dubbed "a quickie"... the getting right to the point manhandling, skipping the foreplay and heading right to their mutual objectives. It helped that they both knew each other so well now and every sensitive nook and cranny of each other's bodies. This was torrid, passionate, let's get each other to paradise RACE to the finish.

Boy was it good too. slippery soap, wet bodies, steamy bathroom, Tino up against the wall, legs around Berwald's hips and arms around his neck as they kissed with abandon and Berwald proved he could raze the monastery to the ground pretty quickly when given incentive and about a 10 minute window of time. He plundered Tino's "Spot" without mercy and it didn't take long at that frenetic pace for them to enjoy a bit of bliss before melting into the hot water, removing evidence of their quickie and blaming the flushed skin on the hot water.

Berwald put "Make hot animalistic frantic sex in the shower" way up on his "I love this list".

[tino_suomi]

Tino always was so much happier after their play. The benefits of being a teenage boy with wild hormones, any mood could be improved, any sadness or hurt forgotten for at least a handful of blissful heavenly moments. He could see why some people became addicted... he wondered at some points if Mads was. His chronic battle with depressive thoughts and the habit of the severely bipolar to be drawn to risky or addictive behavior... that and Siguard wasn't too shy. Tino'd asked once and there was quite a level of frequency to union of Denmark and Norway. Now he could chuckle knowingly to himself that if his and Berwald's pace kept as it was then they would outdo even Mads and Siguard's frequency statistic.

"You are an animal." Tino sighed from deep in his chest as he sat on the creaky bed trying to blow dry his hair. He felt very happy and very satisfied. "Humans and Dolphins... I wonder if there are gay dolphins and if they like it as much as I do?" He pondered, his brain fuzzy and spacey still.

[berwaldsverige]

"You think of the oddest things." Berwald laughed as he took his pills, brushed his teeth and pulled on the warmest clothes he had brought with him, his last clean set of clothes.

"And yes, according to biology dolphins, chimps, any of the major primate or mammals in general have sex for more than just procreation and all of them have gay and straight members too. I saw once in a documentary two male swans who adopted chicks from a nest and raised the chicks together it was fascinating really. Swans are one of the species that mate for life and those two males sat on those abandoned eggs and raised a family. Tell me homosexuality is not genetic after watching that program." Berwald said trying in vain to get his hair to behave.

It never, ever did.

[tino_suomi]

"Let's have gay babies." Tino laughed, flopping over backwards on the bed like the very thought was hilarious. "I wonder if that documentary's online anywhere, I'd like to see that." He commented as he sat himself back up and turned off the blow dryer... that was as dry as his hair was going to get for now. "I think that sounds like such a sweet story. I love kids, kindda sad that my mom had complications with me so I never got any younger brothers or sisters... and that yours aren't going to get to know the super special, wonderful, big brother that they have." He cooed, hopping up to stand on the bed so he could kiss the Swede easier. "You would have made a top class big brother, if it can be considered anything similar to how you spoil me with your attention." He grinned.

[berwaldsverige]

"You'd have to keep me in check if I was a Pappa. I love kids, I can only imagine how I'd be if it were my kid." Berwald said picking Ti up off the bed and setting him on his feet on the floor. "Let's go get our shopping done. Make sure we get an electric blanket for the bed too. I'm such a pussy."

[tino_suomi]

"It's okay, you're the only pussy I like." He chuckled. "And maybe an electric blanket will mean I won't have ice cold toes to push on you." He joked, jogging down the stairs back to the second level where Hana and Nukka were running in and out of the other doors in a frantic game of "I'm going to catch you and love you up Old Man!"

By the time they were downstairs everyone else was also dressed and the dishes had been cleaned and Eino was just coming back indoors from shoveling the walk and driveway so as to go collect his wallet and a travel mug of coffee before they could all pile into Tiina's van. Mummi and Tiina were like little militant officers, making sure everyone had everything. Cell phone? Wallet? Spare gloves? Hand Sanitizer? (Because she thought public restroom sinks were innately unsanitary and would rather use rubbing alcohol and water to kill germs than to touch a germ ridden tap. Mothers.) Tino swore up and down that if his mother insisted on him carrying anything else with him at all times he would need a damn purse! It's not like he had to carry around tampons like she did! Hell, he felt he could probably get by with just his phone and wallet... oh but mothers.

[berwaldsverige]

Berwald ducked into the Van and claimed his spot behind the driver in the first row of Backseats... there was no way his legs would fit back in the third seat, Tino crawled into the far back, giving Mummi the seat next to Berwald because it was easier for her to get in and out of that seat and Tino parents took up front.

They we off to a local Mall and first stop... The furniture section of the big IKEA....

Berwald busted out the measuring tape and began measuring beds he and Tino liked... no foot boards.

They decided on a nice PADDED headboard that would look nice in Tino's old room and fit his furniture. They would move his Twin to the attic for more guest space.

[tino_suomi]

"This bed is awesome." Tino said, laying on it on his belly as Berwald was measuring the dimensions. Thank God Berwald was a three dimensional thinker, Tino would have simply gone and bought a bed and would have forgot to measure everything.

"So you talked with Mummi about the moving plan right?"

[berwaldsverige]

"We talked at breakfast. You were still half asleep cooking. There's just more room for this in your old unless you would rather rearrange the attic. I'm just thinking if we can avoid having dragging down a double and dragging up a king through limited door access and three flights of stairs we'll all be happy. Much easier to take your Twin up, than a king." Berwald said looking at his notes he took about dimensions. There was a reason he made great grades in metal and wood shop. He "measured twice... cut once" he doubled checked everything.
