Seventy-Sixth Entry [Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[Okay. Okay, so Dave has pretty much been... just sort of not noticing or ignoring his attention so far, he guesses? Which is lame, but he has another plan up his flower-covered, voluminous sleeve!]

So, like, I've been thinking! [Off to a good start, not looking too nervous yet...]

Okay, so last time I was here, I went, like, two years without any kind of boss, right, and it was super weird! And I'm totally an elective monarchy now--well, Liet and I are, but I think I still outvote him?--which means I basically get to pick whoever I want to rule, so, like... [Aaaaaand now comes the flustering! He stammers a couple of times, then finally manages to spit it out, blushing furiously.]

I-I totally want Dave to be my king!

That doesn't matter!

[Because Poland always handles matters of the heart with tact and maturity :| ]

I can like, get to know him better later, but I already know he's the one I want!

What are you even talking about!

[He's walking over to Poland and grabs his arm.]

We're married! Marrid! I have just as much say in this as you do!

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

W-Well, I--I like, thought maybe you'd understand!

Liet, you... Have you like, ever looked at someone and just known?

[He yanks his arm away, blushing and a bit defensive.]

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

Yes, I KNOW!

[He halts. This is not how he should act. Not how he normally acts. This... But then the jealousy takes over and covers almost all rational thought.]

You shouldn't talk to him again.

[Poland makes THE SADDEST FACE at that idea.]

Liet... Liet, what are you saying? That's totally not fair!

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

It's for your own best.

[He reaches out the brush a stray strand out of Poland's face.]

And you don't need to worry. I'm here. I'll always be there with you.

[The blond jerks his head away a little.]

Like, since when did you get to tell me what's best for me? Liet, he'd be a really great boss!

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

He'd not be good for you! And we don't need a boss here!

[He now reaches out to grab Poland's shoulders.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

God! Liet! Are you like, even listening to yourself?! You don't even know him!

[He makes the mistake of letting him, because deep down, he trusts Liet, knows Liet has his best interests at heart and is basically the most stable person he's ever known...]

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

[He won't hurt Poland; no matter what happens, that will not happen. But... but.

He frowns.] Am I not good enough anymore for you?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

What?

[No, seriously.]

We've like, always had a boss before, haven't we? What do you mean?

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

But here we don't need one!

[He cannot tell Poland the real reason why he doesn't want him to choose a boss. Partly because he hasn't really understood it himself, partly because he could never admit to something like that. Partly because he couldn't put it in words.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Well, I totally want one!

[Poland has never been the best at logic, compromise, or backing down when he believes in something. And he believes in Dave so much right now!]

[cautious-knight.livejournal.com]

...We should go somewhere else for a while.

[He's very much hoping for the power of Poland's short attention span now. Please, please dear Lord in heaven, let this be one of those things that Poland forgets just as quickly as he remembers them... Or something like that is what Lithuania is thinking right now.]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

I'm like, staying right here.

[Now he's just in the mood to be contrary.]
