New Roommate!

[kivaember]

 Who: Prussia and Italy
Where: Prussia's House (Phanga Neighbourhood)
When: 9th May
Style: Prose
Status: Closed

Gilbert was legitimately excited as fuck. The house he managed to get was too large for one person, and now that he was going to have someone else sharing - someone who could cook and clean, mind you - he was darting about in an excitable tizzy. He prepped the guest room by airing out the spare sheets and slipping them on the mattress, pillows and duvet, and even did a quick hoover through the house. He may hate cleaning, but that didn't mean he wanted Italy to think he lived like a complete slob. Contrary to popular belief, Gilbert was tidy...

He just hated cleaning. That was all. 

By the time he was done, Gilbert was ready to flop on the sofa and go to sleep. He refrained and instead sat in the living room, glancing over at the window every so often in hopes of catching sight of Italy, before scowling and looking away, ashamed at being so, well, desperate. The house really was too big for one person, he had felt lonely by himself... Although he would sooner kill himself than admit that out loud. Clustering was for the weak and all that. 

God, with how many times he repeated that that may as well be his catchphrase now.

"Okay~~" Italy grinned, pulling out the garlic cloves too. He chopped it up and with the other chopped veggies, scooted them off the cutting board and into the bubbling sauce.

Gilbert watched, leaning his elbows on the counter and propping his chin on his upturned palm. "S'now what? We wait?"

[savemegermany]

"Ve, we wait for it to cook," Italy nodded. "We'll need to stir both pots occasionally."

oh yes, by the way, would you like to be dragged into a Prussia and Kratos thread?

[kivaember]

"Ah," Gilbert scratched the back of his neck. That didn't sound like much fun... "Can we listen to the radio while we wait then?" Gilbert loved him some radio.

oooof course. sounds like fun :)

[savemegermany]

Italy nodded. "Ve, I've never listened to the radio here. I bet it's nice to listen to." It hadn't crossed his mind that radio actually broadcast here, but the locals did have quite a bit in the way of technology, so it was entirely possible.

Gilbert grinned, "Well, I say radio, but I managed to snag some CDs to put in an old CD player, so I guess it's like listening radio if you put them on shuffle."

reading it now :D

[savemegermany]

"ve, that sounds great!" Italy grinned, stirring the sauce mindlessly. He knew what he was doing. He just didn't think about it as he did it. He usually thought of things like pasta and kittens.

It's quite long, sorry XD

[kivaember]

Gilbert went to fix up the CD player, and after prodding a few buttons, a rather bubbly Pop song started playing. Gilbert liked most genres of music, so expect a wide range to appear with it on shuffle!

lol it's very amusing~

[savemegermany]

Italy bounced a bit on his toes. "Ve, this is nice! It's very catchy~~" He was a bit outdated with music, still stuck in times of war and not quite up to modern day. The music was new to him and it was something very catchy.

[kivaember]

"Nothing beats pop music," Gilbert laughed, holding out his hands for Italy to take. "C'mon, let's see what dance moves you have!"

[savemegermany]

"Ve, hm." Well he wiggled his hips a bit. He's not bad but more comical.

[kivaember]

Gilbert laughed a bit. "That's it? You look like you're shaking your booty in a Hula dance or something."

[savemegermany]

Italy stopped and turned to stir the sauce some more. "Ve, this isn't exactly ballroom music..."

[kivaember]

"I guess not, hey let's see if I have some," Gilbert said thoughtfully, fiddling with the radio. "I haven't ballroom danced in forever though."

[savemegermany]

"Ve, it's been awhile," Italy agreed, stirring the noodles now. With all the wars and turmoil and everything else, ballroom dancing wasn't exactly a priority. But here, that would be something fun to do again.

[kivaember]

Gilbert managed to find a ballroom song, and he let out a small crow of victory, stepping into the middle of his kitchen and flourishing his arm dramatically at Italy. "Care to dance?"

[savemegermany]

He glanced over at the pots for a brief second, reasoning they'd be fine for a little fun. "Si, si." Italy didn't have any problem taking the feminine roll, since other countries seemed to think he was a girl anyway, if Gilbert wanted to take the lead.

[kivaember]

Gilbert always takes the lead! Even when he was teaching Ludwig how to dance when he started to grow up a little. Gilbert grasped onto Italy's hand and waist, and started a slow Waltz around the small space of the kitchen.

[savemegermany]

This... this was really nice. He usually was the one pulling people close when all they wanted to do was not be touched. Japan was at least tolerant enough of him; Germany, however, was not. Italy waltz slowly with Gilbert and eventually leaned into him, resting his head against Gilbert's shoulder.

[kivaember]

"Enjoying yourself there?" Gilbert laughed, not really minding it.

[savemegermany]

Italy laughed lightly. "si, this is great~~~"

[kivaember]

"Awesome," Gilbert grinned, then cursed when he accidentally stepped on Italy's foot. "Oh, fuck - sorry, still a bit rusty."

[savemegermany]

"It's okay," Italy shook his head. He got stepped on a lot, but he knew that Gilbert didn't mean anything by it.

[kivaember]

The song finished quickly enough, and Gilbert let go of Italy to rub the back of his neck. "Ehe, spontaneous dancing...nothing better, right?"

[savemegermany]

Italy nodded. "It was fun~~" Oh right. Food~! He turned to make sure the pasta hadn't burnt since he wasn't paying attention. Thankfully only a few things had stuck to the sides of the pots. Perfectly salvageable.
