I spent most of the morning practically smothered under a pile of books at the library. I think I could probably build myself a fort with them if I wanted to, and then have all the notebooks to spare, still. Gott, what a mess. Can anybody read Chine- Er, Xingian? Or does anybody know someone who does? It would save me a lot of work

Um... Alfons? Can I talk to you, for a second...?

[lostforeigner]

Ja, of course... What is it?

[olderforeigner]

I... I... do you mind if I steal your couch? Just for one night? Alphonse and I.. well...

[lostforeigner]

You still have a bedroom at our apartment that you are welcome to stay in any time, Brother. ::frowns a little and places a hand on his shoulder:: What happened?

[olderforeigner]

I just... I walked in on him and my double, and they were... all over each other.

[lostforeigner]

...Oh. My goodness, that... Gott, I am sorry. Ja, of course, stay as long as you like. ...I had no idea that they were interested in each other... I mean, Alphonse, obviously, had feelings for you... So... Huh...

[olderforeigner]

It's not doing much for my self-esteem, no. *bitter smile* Thank you. This means a lot to me. I'll try not to be... a nuisance.

[lostforeigner]

Well, you are always welcome at my place. I am truly sorry they hurt you like this; you do not deserve it. ::hesitates a little before pulling him into a hug, simply wanting to comfort him::

[olderforeigner]

I... gott, thank you, Alfons. I just... *Goes willingly, dropping his bag and nuzzling closer, accepting the offered comfort*

[lostforeigner]

::sighs softly and rubs his back a little:: Bitte schön. You do not have to worry. You can always come to me for anything. ::kisses him lightly on the top of his head::

[olderforeigner]

I... Thank you. Just... thank you. *takes a deep breath and snuggles slightly closer to Alfons quietly*

[lostforeigner]

::holds him close, nodding a little:: I am always here for you.

[olderforeigner]

I know, and I appreciate it. Thank you.

[lostforeigner]

::squeezes him briefly, with a small smile:: You do not need to thank me, Brother.

[olderforeigner]

*Sighs and gives him a tiny smile* Maybe, but I should still be sorry for running back to you like this. Tomorrow I'll go out and look for roomates at the public billboard near where I work.

[lostforeigner]

No, you do not have to be. There is no need to apologize. ::sighs:: If... If you want, but... Well, you already know you can stay with us. I understand you feel that may not be the best thing for you right now, but it is still an option.
