Basch: lying on an exercise mat in the living room
Hmmm, peace. Finally found my inner relaxa--

You: pulling open the front door and barging in
DID YA MISS US BASCH OL' BOY?!?!?!
.... OH MY GOD! RODERICH! BASCH HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!!!!

The sound of Roderich running up the stairs  stormed up towards you, as you stood there mortified at the sight of the Swiss boy spread out on his back on the living room floor... That's when you looked up at the flat screen tv from hearing a woman's voice.

FALSE ALARM PEOPLE!
I think he's just trying to do yoga...
Ohh I like that pattern on her yoga pants!

Basch's hand slowly raised up as soon as the puffing Austrian made it to the door and poked his head past your shoulder, watching as the arm in the air slowly points down at itself.

Basch: sounding unamused
I'm trying to find the calming sensation that drifts me off into a spiritual world that the woman on the television talks of so fondly...

Roderich sent you a judgemental look as he walked over to the couch and collapses onto it, momentarily stretching out his limbs and resting them as he takes the chance to calm himself down, by resting.

A flick of the tv remote and Basch sat himself up, with his legs crossed, seeming annoyed that his peace was rudely interrupted.... Or is that just his normal face?

You: leaning in the hallway
So yoga, hey?

Basch: standing up
So Geige (violin) Island... Hey?

You: blowing a strand of hair out of your face and smiling
Wow, just wow... Seriously, since when did you do yoga?

Basch: taking the DVD out
It's good for the body, mind and soul... I like it, you should try it.

With a push of your back against the door frame, you walked over towards the impressively filled DVD cabinet and scanned over its contense, nothing really took your fancy; nothing more than old workout videos, video games, random assortment of old Disney and Pixar movies, a few iconic Studio Ghibli movies and... Spider-Man? It seemed so out of place, but who are you to judge.

You: holding the movie in your hand
Anyone up for watching a movie before dinner?

Basch made himself seated beside Roderich who sat himself up correctly a while back, both being silent, but judging from their body language, they appeared to be interested in your offer.

Roderich: moving a cousin off the couch to make a spot for you
Which one is it?

You: putting it into the DVD player
The original Spider-Man....

Basch: flat toned
What, is that like a cheap remake of CatDog?

You: amazed
YOU KNOW WHAT CATDOG IS!!!?!?

Basch: slightly sinking his head into this shoulders
I-I may have found it mentioned online... A cartoon from the late 90s to early 2000s?...

You: grinning
YEAH! What else do you know? I watched it all the time with my br--

You stopped yourself to think about them, it's been a while since you last thought or mentioned them...

You: sighing
I watched a lot of cartoons and superhero movies with my brothers; my eldest brother went through a stage after he swallowed a spider that was on his ice cream, he was convinced it was the equivalent of a spider bite and he'd get powers from the ordinary spider... (Smiling) Lockie really hasn't changed from his 8 year old self!

Basch: frowning
He sounds like Gilbert.

You let out a cheeky grin and pressed play, snatched a pillow from the couch and completely ignoring the spot Roderich cleared out for you and laid on your stomach on the carpet, with the pillow under your elbows.

...

As the sun melted behind the horizon, life continue as always, but slowed down as distant white specs grew to find their positions in the navy night, with a waning crescent moon watching over them like a lone Shepard. The night was warm, so you found yourself partnered with your laptop making the most out of the humble ocean breeze while seated on the balcony that only your room has access to, updating and maintaining the 'Little Miss Cyber' blog. Ever since you discovered that Gilbert and Mathias knew about your 'little' secret, you became constantly paranoid every time you logged in; what if they commented something giving away your identity, what if they disagreed with your opinion on something you wrote about and approached you about it during school, becoming physical and violent like I-- .... What will happen if they tell Ivan?

Thoughts clouded your mind and all you could imagine was "What if....". You strained your eyes at your screen and sighed, closing your eyes and softly hitting the back of your head against the wall, gazing out into the still and silent ocean slowly lapping onto the beac--

MOTHER OF HUMMUS!!!

You mindlessly shoved your laptop off of your thighs and jumped onto your feet, contorting your face to look like a 3 year old petrified peach at the bottom of a school bag. As you stood there muted with your back pinned, you were face to face with a figure hanging upside down from the roof, looking back at you, with their identity concealed by a mask... Spider-Man's mask...

Maybe that movie's sudden appearance was more than random...
MAYBE it was planted there?

The balcony was well lit, so the stranger's presence was obvious to anyone on the balcony or standing down on the ground and looking up in the general direction of it.

The stranger's head tilted and their hand lowered down to reveal who they were, but only half way to their nose, showing only their lips, chin and half of their cheeks. A smile grew on your face from the cheeky scene and they seemed to have noticed it, pulled the remainder of the mask off, shocking you with their iconic framed gaze.

You: forcing out a question with minimal oxygen
H-how... H-how?!

Berwald: trying to get himself down
Thought you might like watching a superhero movie.

Ahhhh, why's he playin' dumb?

Berwald: cautiously lowering himself onto your balcony
So, how are you?

You: rubbing your temple
Not going to lie, extremely creeped out, how did you know I moved here?

Berwald: looking at your laptop in the corner of his eye
I over heard Germania the day he told you and the other's that you all are being re-accommodated, I had a feeling that this was the place and have been making sure everything is okay here. I just decided to say hello today.

You: uncomfortable
Berwald, do you even know how creepy, space invading and how many rules of privacy you just broke!?

Berwald: confused
So I WASN'T meant to have... Looked out for you? I thought that's what friends... Do...

His words hit your heart with the strength a nine hundred and ninety-nine daggers, and the one thousandth dagger being the way his hands flopped to his side lifelessly, loosely holding the mask by his fingertips.

*SNAP*

Your heart snapped with tears pooling in your eyes and took a step towards Berwald, wrapping him in an unwarned hug, being engulfed by the Swedish giant. Nuzzling your face into his shoulders, feeling a familiar sense in him, one homely and needless to justify; like someone you'd trust your secrets with and allow to be your guardian as you slept in vulnerability.

Berwald: whispering in your ear
Reading Little Miss Cyber's blog, on your small, portable computer, ha?

You quickly reached down for the laptop and logged out of the blog, before he noticed that you were typing something on it and sent him a flexed brow.

You: nudging him in the side
Your not gonna snitch on me are ya?
Maybe I can bribe you for your silence with a few of Pewds vids?

His face lit up and he followed you into your room, where you plugged in your headphones and gave him one half of the earpuds as you both became comfy on the end of your bed marathoning a Swed with a Swed.

Little did you know that for a few minutes, you were being spied on by a fellow roommate, who happened to have came in asking you if you'd like a little snack.

Basch: slowly pulling his eye away from the slightly cracked open door
None of my business; more cheese for me.

...

Last night was definitely the funnest night you've had in a long time, honestly not much can measure up to YouTube binge watching with your best friend to all hours of the night, with the overwhelming fear that you could get caught and in trouble any moment, so you both try to hush each other like drunk people sneaking back into their house at 4 am.

Eduard: looking at you
Any ideas, ____?

You slammed your head against the table.

*SLAM!*

Damn, it's Monday!

Ivan snorted the water out of his nose as he watched you childishly slamming your head into the table, you still haven't moved it and don't seem to plan so any time soon.

Matthew: shuffling the paperwork
Ah-umm... So does that m-mean your against a whole school seashell hunting day to encourage more students to bond and intermingled?

Your head arose with confusion and scanned where you were, Mathias sat at the head of the table with a smug face and a badge pinned on his uniform with, "Student Council President", written on it in gold, then you sat next to him on the side. Opposite to you was Ivan, then to your left was Kiku, opposite him was Eduard, beside Kiku was Wang and the last two seats were taken up by Ludwig and Feliciano who still was wearing the organic woven heart leaf necklace from yesterday, though it seemed to started drying up... Oh yeah and there was Matthew nervously organising paperwork at the opposite end of the table, looking awkwardly important, like an assistant of a major powerhouse.

Mathias devilishly grinned at you with his chin perched under his hands with the fingertips pressed against each other and his elbows digging into the table, giving himself a powerful appearance. The arm closest to you dipped away from his chin and under the table, cocking his head to the side and resting it in the palm of his other hand. Surprising you as you felt his hand under the table brushing itself up your thigh.

You knees suddenly jolted towards the table, painfully slamming your knees and his hand into the bottom of the table.
In a flash of tears pooling in your eyes, you stood up at the table, whiles Mathias pulled his hand back to himself, with everyone looking at you in confusion.

You: gasping
SORRY! ME FIDGETY!

You swallowed down hard, sensing Mathias's taunting power; as a Vice President, you need to hold your ground and show that you KNOW how to take control, your more than just his amusement.

You: standing up straight
So we are thinking up ideas for...

Your eyes glanced at Ivan for help and a smile on his face showed he'd be much obliged.

Ivan: tossing his arm over the back of his chair
Ways to encourage students to make friends with others outside of their friend and family groups, producing a larger Union...

Hmm...
How to make guys bond?
Sports could work, but not everyone are athletes.
Music could unite them, but not everyone is a musician.
... But there is something that could work...
If any cliché will work, then this one definitely will!

You: crossing your arms
We'll put on a play!

Ludwig: looking down the table at you
The theatre!?

Feliciano: waving a hand in the air
OH! OH! OH! ROMEO AND A~JULIET A!!!!!

Wang: leaning back in his chair
AIYA! I'm getting a brain tumour from your basic creativity!

Feliciano: pumping his fists in the air
ITALIANO LOVE A~ ST--

Ludwig put his hand over the mouth of the hyper auburn, clearly sick and tired of Feliciano's excitement for the idea.

Matthew: peaking his eyes over the papers and looking at you
D-do you al-already have a pl-play in mind, Vice Pres'?

Vice Pres'?
I can get use to being called that!
But for serious occasions, it's, "Madam Vice President of International Seas, _____ (last name) the first!"
Or is that kinda long...
OH RIGHT! I NEED AN IDEA TO GET THESE MONKEYS OFF MY BACK FIRST!
This title thought will be thought about later!

You: quickly thinking of a book you've read and answering unsurely
Aaaaaaahhhh... Anne of Green Gables?

That's totally random, but at least it seems like your trying.

Eduard: pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose
But the main character is a female and there are multiple female characters?

Mathias: chiming in and raising his eyebrows at you
Does little Vicey want to be the main lead, hmm elsker (love) ?

You: pointing to the roof
I wasn't done, Anne of Green Gables... Gender... Bender!

A small excited squeak escaped through Kiku's mouth and covered it in a flash with his hands, quickly parting his lips and saying that he likes the idea.

Matthew: trembling with excitement
All those who choose this idea, say 'I'!

It was unanimously agreed, meaning now that you just accidentally landed yourself a job as a director, but this could be a fun project.

You: taking a seat
Well next on the agenda, someone needs to make audition posters for, "Dan of Green Gables"!

And you knew just who to ask to be the main role!
