No! No, Nalle, I know you'd never do that. I meant work as a salesman. But that's my point! You could do exactly the same job as your father and you'd still be nothing like him. So I don't want you to not like a part of you because it reminds you of him because you're already a hundred times better than he will ever be!

[At least he's too busy correcting what he said to notice how scary Björn looks right now, clinging to him closer. There's no way he's going to let his friend think that he ever meant to say that he's like his father.]

[It will take a bit for Björn to calm down again, but at least the horror fades away a bit as he wraps the other arm around Timo as well, just pulling him close while trying to pull himself together.

He really, really hopes that the other boy's words are true. (The time that his father spent with him and his mother really did not help his opinion of the man at all.)

So yeah, just holding his best friend/crush close for a bit.]

[Timo shifts so that he can wrap his arms around Björn as well, squeezing him in. Hugs are good. So are little, shy nuzzles into the other boy's shoulder.

But he's not one to keep silent.]

Do you have any more classes this afternoon? [Also, moving the subject on.]

[Divinely happy right now, this boy is. (and yes, enough to revert to Yoda speak if that was something that he'd do. Talk, that is.

Which means that he will just shake his head at the question. No, he doesn't, they can stay here some longer.]

Me neither. I was thinking about seeing if I could send a letter home. [He's not going to pull away immediately, but he does take a sip from his coffee.] Do you want to come?

[A slow nod. Of course he will, and that might be good, because he needs to write home too, so seeing where he can is a good idea. Especially if it is together with someone who can do the talking, and in Björn's opinion, Timo is quite good at that.]

[If there's one thing that Timo's good at, it's talking.] When we finish our coffee and have your shoulder seen to, then. [He says happily.] Oh, but did you need to finish what you were working on?

[Björn shrugs that off.] Lat'r. [There is no exact hurry to finish it, especially when he can trade doing it in for spending time with his best friend.]

Okay! As long as it's not important to finish it today. [That means that Timo can steal a bit of his time, and he makes a pleased noise and snuggles in closer. Maybe he's been just a little bit clingy since they got here, but since he hadn't seen Björn since the summer he thinks that's fair enough. Maybe once he's used to Björn's presence again he'll settle down once more.]

I can't stay out too long anyway. I still have some math work to do. [He groans a little at the thought of it. He's been putting it off maybe a little longer than he should have.]

[Björn definitely doesn't mind Timo's clinginess - getting so much cute from up close might give him cavities eventually, but he'll gladly accept that.]

N'd help? [While he is only average at stochastics and algebra, he's always had a hand for geometry, so if it is that...]

...Maybe. But I should at least try and do it myself! Otherwise I won't learn. [Have Timo's determined face staring at you ~~it's just as cute as his normal face~~.] Thank you for offering though. If I get stuck I'll ask you?

[Nod. He can work with that. After all he has homework to do, too.]

W' can work togeth'r? [The library probably has desks where you can sit together, both over your own things.. ]

Okay! I'd like that. [He likes the idea that he can help Björn in return. He slips from his cooling coffee, enjoying it more now he can cup it safely in his hands. Thinking about sending a letter home has him thinking of home.]

Do you miss home at all?

[Björn simply shrugs at that; he does miss home, but he has missed home for years now, ever since him and his mother moved to Denmark. And home is where the heart is and all that - it makes it a lot easier to be away from home when he has Timo with him, even though this time his mother isn't there.]

Oh... [Timo can't really read that, so he pulls away just enough to tuck his legs up to his chest and curl into himself. He's trying to be sensible about it ~~and not crawl into Björn's bed like he used to when he was homesick in the summers~~.]

[Björn will put an arm around him and pull him against his chest.]

Y' can come over when y' need. [He's referring to how Finland came over before - he can do that now, too.]

[Timo makes a quiet noise, before wrapping his arms around Björn and squeezing him in. He appreciates that.] Thanks, Nalle.

[But then he's smiling again, moment of homesickness gone for now.] I'll try not to bother you too much though!

're never bothering. [And he definitely means that.]

Even when I spill coffee on you? [He grins, even though he still feels bad about that. He'll keep an eye on it over the next couple of days, though.]

[Nodding. That coffee was unfortunate, but that doesn't mean that Timo as a person is bothering here.

......................also that is just too cute. That grin. Stop being so cute, how is he supposed to function like this... Okay just let him reach out and tousle Timo's hair a bit before turning on his heel and marching towards the exit, having memorized how he got here so he'll get back easily.]

Hey! [Timo squeaks, partially from a little tremor of fear and partly because that's his hair and now it's a mess. Not that he's like Vilmar and bothers to do much more with it than brush it, but it was neat before and now he'll have to finger comb it as he runs after Björn. Since his legs are longer than Timo's, he'll have to trot to keep up with him, but he trusts Björn to lead them out of the maze, not paying attention to where they're going.] How did you learn the maze so quickly anyway? It took me ages to find you.

[Björn shrugs; his orientation works very strongly with maps, he draws mental maps of places almost instantly - maybe it is because of his bad vision: Without his glasses, he is unable to spot any landmarks, so he needs to be able to basically walk a place blindly if needed, and from nightly trips around new homes and holiday rooms it came to this...

He feels safe enough to throw a short look back at Timo now, though.] Sorr' fer vanishing on y'.
