That day I was staring at the ocean, just like a million times before, when he said to me:

"Can you see all of the islands, Berwald? They're all yours, down to the last one of them, and no-one can take that away from you."

We simply sat there on the pier, all alone, his head resting against my shoulder, my naturally cold hands firmly grasping his.

Gazing out over what was so rightfully mine, I couldn't help but wish it was ours, together. Just as much his home as mine.

"You know, if you look towards the very end of the horizon, you can almost see my house from over here!", he jokingly said, pointing out towards the sun setting over the vast blue Baltic Sea, as if to lighten up the rather serious mood.

He had never been that much for talking about his emotions, which I on the other hand preferred over him keeping them hidden from me.

"Then again. If I want him to share his feelings with me, I should probably do the same once in a while", was my thoughts, as I turned my gaze from the beautiful sunset, to the equally beautiful eyes of my company.

It was my way of getting his attention, and as he looked at me with those lavender eyes of his, I knew it had worked like a charm, and I opened my mouth, just about to open my heart to him.

"Wherever I go, I know where I have my home."

I stared deeply into his eyes, and he stared right back into mine.
Our whole beings seemed to be connecting to eachother in that very moment.

I continued on, with a hint of confidence in my voice from actually being able to utter those words.

"My heart will always beat for this country, where the wind rustles the leaves of the green forests, and the waves crashes against the shore, all to the sound of birds singing."

His expression said more than any words could have.
He was genuinely stunned by my sudden urge not only to speak, but to share my rather deep thoughts with him.

"This is where I was born, and this is where I want to die."

Squeezing his hands a little tighter, to keep them warm as I felt a chilly breeze coming, I added:

"However, in between that, I just want to be where you are, Tino."
-This fan-fic was originally called "This is our home", for those of you who might have already read it, and stumbled upon it again, thinking "Heeey, I think I've heard this shit before!" ;)

So, here it is: My second fan-fic in two days :wow:
I don't know if I've ever been this productive in my life before ;)

It's about our dear old favourite couple, Tino and Berwal/Finland and Sweden, as you might have noticed, and a great part of the dialouge is based of a swedish song: "Seglaren", by Monty. That song is about the archipelago of Stockholm, but in my fan-fic Berwald is refering to Sweden in general, just so you know.

Here's a link to the song: [link] (I don't know where you can find a translation, but if you want one, you can PM me about it, and I'll translate it for you :) )
