This was definitely not his home, that much was obvious. Tino had woken up in something rather akin to Francis' house - plush, satin... it made the young Finnish male squirm. He wanted his blue sheets, where he curled up in a white Ikea bed next to

Tino still felt uneasy. The pat on the head really didn't do too much for him. It wasn't full of his lover's attention and comfort, but something detached. He knew Berwald was always a man of few words, but the resonating silence between them made him stiff and quiet

;__;!!

Of course the hug was happening. He refused to let go, refused to stop crying just for that moment between them getting to their floor and now. He pulled back eventually, shaking a bit as he sniffled and wiped at his eyes, embarrassed he lost control, but so very thankful the other held him. That was what really had calmed him down; being held again by Berwald, even if it wasn't his Berwald. He knew that fact to be true by now. He knew he wasn't mental nor was Berwald mental -- he was hiding behind rationale to not look at the truth. This man just looked like him. Acted a bit like him

[stayndontletgo]

He would have told Tino there was nothing to be sorry about but he couldn't find himself able to muster up the words. He didn't really want to say anything, yet he wasn't sure if his actions were speaking for him effectively. Would Tino understand it was alright he'd hugged him? He was probably unable to notice subtle nonverbal ques. Even if Tino's Berwald was a lot like Sweden in that inability to communicate well, most people would have difficulty focusing enough to understand even someone they loved with all their hearts when under such intense distress. Unless maybe he did something like kiss him but that was not even an option as it would lead to emotions Sweden was trying to rid himself of. The only assurance came in a grunt and a hand squeeze

Tino knew he did. He nodded, looking at the dresser blocking the door. It was as overwhelming as their situation, but at the same time it was consoling. No one would get in with Berwald around. No one would try to harm Tino, nor Berwald for that matter, and he could calm down and not worry about such a thing.

He sucked in a deep breath, looking over at him, next. He touched one of the nation's hands with one of his fragile, human ones, soft in trying to also reassure the other that maybe it'll be okay. He only half-believed that himself, but maybe he was just thinking the wrong way. Maybe everything would blow over. He squeezed Berwald's hand a bit tighter, leaning against his body with his own just a bit.

"I'll always care about you. No matter what this place does to me or to you," Tino murmured in return. If he said "love" it may scare the other off. He wasn't reacting so hot to everything else, but that was because he wasn't his Berwald. Tino wished at that moment he was his Berwald. He wished he knew everything was okay, that

Sweden in turn rested his chin on the top of Tino's head. It was a relief not to set off in a blaze of unpleasant feelings because of innocent touch. He doubted it'd last long. Once the shock of this situation wore off, or if the touch became too intimate, he knew he'd be triggered into an unstoppable panic once more. If only he could swallow or bury those emotions. It'd be easier not to be set off by that sort of thing with how connected Tino was to him

[yourwaifu]

He liked the feeling of closeness, of someone resembling Berwald resting against him and not pulling away, leaving him, abandoning him. The human male let out a shaky sigh in turn, calming down more by being closer and trying to mentally sort the situation out. Tino stared at nothing in particular, a random spot on the gaudy carpeting.

What he hoped was that this place would give them a break. He couldn't pressure the other in helping him relieve any tension that could arise, nor would he want to see the other suffer. If he were to give in, would that make him a cheater? Disloyal? Berwald was still Berwald, but this was... such an extreme possibility. Tino hummed out as he thought, eyebrows furrowing as he tried to think more about such a thing. He couldn't will himself to be with anyone else, so if all else failed, he'd hope that maybe Berwald would help him. After all, the other certainly wouldn't want Tino to be raped or have sex consensually with anyone else.

The more he tried to think calmly about the possibilities that this

[stayndontletgo]

Sweden hadn't been considering those sexual possibilities in the slightest. He was still denying what the employee had told them with complete conviction. He refused to even consider the possibility that it was true and attempt to figure out some way to get by just in case. He selectively had acknowledged a bit, of course. If he had completely dismissed everything said, he wouldn't be so concerned with avoiding all the other residents in the hotel. He understood the concept that other people might want to jump them but had yet to note the possibility that they themselves might be tempted to partake in such an act

[yourwaifu]

Tino had to bounce back, otherwise he'd just keep crying and clinging onto false hopes that may just be crushed. If he didn't bounce back, he'd probably hold him more, ask more of him, to be consoled and helped out and made into a child. He didn't want to burden Berwald, especially given the extremely otherworldly circumstances. He may still have been nervous, but he would break through that. Somehow
