Switzy


...

Somehow...

They had ended up eating lunch with him...

Switzerland's left eye twitched as he cut at his meat. He wasn't even sure what kind of meat it was. But meat is meat. He didn't think it really mattered as long as the cheese tasted good.

Switzerland looked up at the man in front of them. Austria seemed... More at peace? Yes, much more at peace then how Switzerland felt right now. And it ticked him off. Just enough to feel like strangling him, but not enough to go through with it. He let out a sigh, and Austria looked up at him, eyes filled with a swift instant of hope, and then sullenness. What was that about? Who cares? People are too complicated.

"So... Bruder, you have been quiet. You haven't even taken a bite of your steak. Are you sick?"

So it is lamb. That's nice. Switzerland looked up at his adopted sister, Liechtenstein. She stared at him, awaiting the answer she was sure he was going to give him. Then it hit him. He was actually supposed to answer that? Oh, wait a minute. What did she ask? Uh...

"N-no. I'm fine. So, just finish up your..."

"Mutton."

"Yes, your...mutton..."

Instead of getting his sister off his back, she seemed even more concerned. But then she did the worst thing, in Switzerland's mind, ever. She left to go to the bathroom. She left him. Alone. With Austria. It was bad enough the Austrian had nit-picking him all lunch to join in the conversation. But now, he actually had to join or let the silence grow... Yeah, let's just do that...

"So you're planning on ignoring me for the whole meal?"

"..."

Austria sighed, and slipped a piece of paper and a pen out of his coat pocket. He started to scribble something down, and (Due to curiousity not interest!) Switzerland looked to see what he had written. Austria folded the paper, and slid it over to him on the table.

"Read it when you get home. And remember, I'm up a good portion of the day working on my music, but I don't mind interupts."

Switzerland noticed Liechtenstein steadily making her way back to the table. He swipped the paper, giving Austria a quick glare, and shoved it into his pocket.

"Welcome back, Liechtenstein. We were just talking about you." Austria stated, smiling up at the girl who looked back a bit uncomfortably. "Yes. We were saying how it would be nice for you to join Switzerland when he comes over. Am I wrong?" He looked over at the shocked Swiss. When...? "Well, that is a matter of another time. So, how is your mutton, my dear?" He shifted again making Switzerland's head hurt slightly.

"A-ah? The mutton? Yes, it is very good. I am very grateful that you are treating us today..."

Switzerland flinched, and then started to correct Liechtenstein while saying that they would split the bill.
