APH Aesthetic - Netherlands x Sweden (Lars & Björn)

“I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love.”

"Merry Christmas, älskling." Björn muttered as he gave his beloved a very carefully wrapped gift. The paper had a snowflake pattern on it, and a note was also attached to it. Lars' name was written on it with elegant calligraphy. The Swede had put a lot of effort in the gift, and he was hoping the other would love it as much as he had adored making it in the first place. It was a beautiful photo album, where Björn had put all of the pictures they had taken on their dates.

"Hm?" Looking up from his phone Lars took his time to take in what the Swede was all about. Eyes drifted to the gift before they found the face of his boyfriend again. Although Lars is usually not one for Christmas presents, this was certainly welcoming. Happily, with a smile, he accepted the present as curiosity got a hold of him. "You know you didn't have to gett me something.."

Still, without further complaints the Dutchman carefully opened the neatly wrapped present, his smile growing brighter at the sight of the content. Fond memories of almost a year ago returned to him as the first pictures were shown on the pages. "This is... priceless. I didn't know you took pictures during our dates. Now I am glad you did." Like holding something breakable Lars carefully flipped through the album. "Thank you, Björn, this means a lot."

It’s time to get SPOOKY

“Thank you,” Björn mumbled, getting his hands on the coffee mug. Ah… It was warm, and he liked it a lot. Gave him a cosy feeling. He took a sip as he listened to his roommate, humming the moment he put the mug back on the table.

“That’s good. Very responsible.” The Swede found it remarkable. Many people in their dorms spent the nights drinking and doing who knows what. Now that he thought about it, their flat was probably the quietest in the whole building.

Except when they played games together while drinking a couple beers.

“The coffee is very nice, as always. You’d make a good barista, I bet.” He said as he opened his books and started typing away.

Lars pulled his legs up on the couch in an attempt to warm his feet as his hands warmed up due to the mug. Moments like this were nice, where they could simply be in the same room and have small talk. It made the taller blonde really satisfied with his roommate, thankful he got appointed a room with someone who seemed to think like him. 

“Me, a barista?” A humorous chuckle escaped him. “If it earns money making coffee, perhaps I have found my calling.” 

Setting down his coffee Lars found himself smiling more often ever since he started sharing the room with Björn during the first year. Carefully navigating around the Swede, Lars went to get his own laptop from his room and a pair of socks. “You playing as Sweden again? How about we try diplomatic game for once, it’s been a while since we tried that?”

[crackedxtuliphead]

Björn thanked Lars quietly, glad he’d help with the groceries. Overall, he was just happy they seemed to be able to help each other with almost anything, and their dynamic was just amazing.

“Not sure.” The blond confessed. “I need to talk about light, colours, and how they can impact a person’s mood when applied to a room’s design.” 

Once they finished putting everything in place, Björn sat on the table and took his laptop and a couple books out of his backpack, getting ready to work. “Luckily it won’t take long. I’ve already done more than half of it.”

He allowed himself to pause for a bit, looking at Lars. “How’s your day been, by the way?”

Gracefully Lars wiped the counter from remaining ‘dust’ as Björn talked about his homework. Grabbing the two mugs of coffee the taller man raised an eyebrow. “Well, that’s certainly interesting. It’s like thinking of your own house later. What colours would you paint your walls and why?”

Carefully setting down the mug for the blonde, Lars settled down on the couch again and sipped his own coffee. Fresh lifeblood of students. Ah. Being a reasonable and organised person he is, Lars never experienced the pressure of college that would need to be sated with a ton of coffee. Thankfully, Björn seemed to be the same. 

At the question he shifted a bit on his spot, humming a bit. “It was alright. Nothing too difficult as expected. The professors gave homework but I managed to finish it quite early, did much on the uni as well.”

Björn adored moments like these, moments in which he could just sit down and  Lars’ company, each of them doing their own thing. 

Right now, he was sitting near his boyfriend, letting him put his legs like that. In fact, he even had one hand on top, and absentmindedly tapped them every once in a while as he quietly watched the news. The TV was set on a low volume so it would not disturb Lars’ reading.

The Swede was also proudly wearing an orange hoodie he had stolen from the other’s suitcase - and he was probably going to keep it for himself. It was warm, comfortable, and it had Lars’ scent on it, which would probably ease him the nights he’d spend alone until their next meeting.

The whole scene was a very homey one, and it made Björn very happy. Them sitting together, Åke napping on his bed all curled up…

He’d definitely miss this when Lars leaves.

The Dutchman’s voice startled him as he was lost in thought, and Björn turned his head to look at him. There wasn’t much emotion in his face, but his eyes seemed to light up. He did not seem surprised, however. He looked very pleased, and he soon started speaking with a very calm voice. Whoever knew him well would detect the happiness in it, too.

“To be honest, I have been thinking about it as well. I would also like to live with you.” 

It seemed his luck couldn’t get any better as his fears of disapproval faded away, making Lars put his book down a bit. A smile was clearly visible on his face he scooted a little closer to observe the Swede’s reaction more carefully. The orange hoodie seemed to add to the slight happiness that was visible.

“I wasn’t... sure you would feel the same, but I’m glad you do.” It was something Lars had hoped for, to hear Björn had the same thoughts and that he was ready to take the next step in their relationship. “I feared you would think it was too soon to even think about this.”

Many more thoughts crossed his mind. Where would they live, how would their home look like? What about their jobs? But besides that, wholesome ideas passed by as well. Being able to get home from work and the other being there, spending every night together and getting to enjoy the fantastic baking skill of the Swede. It seemed the Dutchman wasn’t as cold-hearted as he seemed.

“How long have you been thinking about it?”

How fast the Dutchman felt himself adapt to the new life he had adopted with Björn was astounding, even to himself. Fairly quickly he had become used to the way their relationship worked, having to travel and back forth between each other’s homes a lot and making most of their visits. It seemed their lifestyles were blending more and more every week. 

After eight months of enjoying their relationship, Lars found himself on his boyfriend’s couch with a book, his legs resting across the Swede’s lap. The occasional small talk and shared glances were all that was needed right now as they simply enjoyed their company while reading. If only it could stay this way for longer than the small week Lars managed to get off from work. The same thought had been crossing his mind more often lately, never finding the right moment to ask. However, this calm moment seemed to have made way for this topic for them to discuss. 

Lars flipped a page in his book, clearing his throat a little. “Björn, I want to live together.”

SweNed, but because of height difference, for the first time ever, Sweden has someone to steal clothes from, and Netherlands goes batshit crazy of seeing his boyfriend wearing his clothes

Of course, Lars could see his gift brought emotion on his sister’s face, making him smile a bit, knowing it was a good gift. Still, he couldn’t hold himself back when she gave him such a look and pulled her closer for a hug. It was nice, holding her like this, taking in the warm embrace. 

“I’m glad you like it. Took me a while to find all those pictures...”

Björn was currently enjoying Lars’ company, sitting beside him. he rubbed his eyes sleepily and put his glasses back on, looking at the other.

“I can help you do that if you want.” Baking was one of Björn’s many talents, after all.

It was quite the sight for sore eyes, seeing the Swede still this sleepy. Perhaps they should have laid in bed for a bit longer.

“That does sound like a good idea. With my pristine kitchen and your baking talents we should do well.” Being reminded of the first time Björn baked for him, Lars couldn’t wait to get started. “Or are you too sleepy still?”

[crackedxtuliphead]

Sipping his freshly made cup of coffee in the morning, Lars enjoyed the early morning quietness of the 26th of July. Sitting at his dining table he was reading the newspaper, not really having something special planned for today. 

“Another year to celebrate, perhaps I should bake a cake for once...”

Oops, love, zoo?

Munday questions :) 

Oops: What is one thing you'd like to change/fix?  - Hmm. Not be cheesy or anything, but I would like to change the distance me and you ( <3 ) are apart. Having to travel 2000km or so to get to you is too far. Besides that I must say I am quite content with the life I got. On track and happy.

Love: Do you believe in marriage? - I do believe in marriage! One day I would like to get married, not because I have to for a religion but because I want to show my commitment and love. (Typical you ask me this question ;) ). To me, marriage is a beautiful way to strengthen the bond between two people.

Zoo: What is your favourite animal? - Aaaah there are so many I like! Making me choose, how dare you! Hmm... I’m a sucker for any kind of bird. Oof, I love birds. If I had to choose, the house sparrow will always be a sight for sore eyes. So small and adorable.
