#but yeah for small tid bits there was going to be a game the boys played along the way called ‘what would uncle say?’

[ssreeder]

yooooo. queer-ie: i love your work and would die for it (this is the queer part) and i just know there’s gotta be scenes that have been deleted. could you possibly tell us about some of those (this is the -ie part)? no pressure tho!! i’ll be hopelessly devoted to you either way.

eyyyyyy-o.

sorry Ive sat on this ask for a while but it tuurns I doooooo have like 4k of of outtakes from RIA & ITF lol.

so here are a few, i’m not sure if this is what you wanted from this ask lol im doing my best. (also none of these are edited or proof read and im sorry about mistakes and grammar and tense and all that other jaz because these were seriously like - ‘i don’t know if im going to trash this orrrrr…..’ then it never made it in & might not even be applicable to the current story.)

im such a good author I know so many details ummmm here is an insert from some point in RIA (I think this was going to be a POV from Hakoda and his men talking and I decided it was a waste of word count. sorry hakoda)

- - -

“I say we kill him.”

“Don’t you think that is a little… <i>extreme</i> Gilak?”

“Not as extreme as the <i>son</i> of the Fire Lord living and breathing in our camp!”

Hakoda felt the specific vein in his forehead thumping against his wrinkled skin that was trying its best to keep it contained. He could feel a headache coming forward the longer they discussed what to do about the situation that Sokka brought to his attention… and so far, they had not one tangible idea.

“Gilak, I have already told you, we can not kill him.”

“I know sir, your son is buddies with him, and we can’t upset Sokka.”

Hakoda shot the larger man a stern look, and he quickly retracted his words.

“I know why we can’t kill him. I just think it would be the simplest solution in this situation.”

Bato jumped to Hakoda’s defense, like he always did.

“This is not a simple situation, so it will not have a simple solution. I think we should speak to Morrak and see what he learned about the boy before we make any decisions. If we kill the Prince of the Fire Nation while he is severely injured and being non threatening we will look like the savages the rest of the world calls us. We have to handle this delicately, like Hakoda said, Sokka trusted us enough to tell us who he is when he could have easily lied. Which means we need to respect that trust and handle it delicately.”

Hakoda cleared his throat, earning the attention from both his men.

“So it is decided. I will talk to Morrak and once I get more information, I will meet back with you both and we can discuss our options at that point.”

“Yes sir.”

“Yes Chief.”

Hakoda was happy when they left his tent, freeing up the stifled air that seemed to stop moving the moment the conversation began. Hakoda felt an intense guilt building from betraying his son’s trust and sharing his friend's identity with the other men… Haoda knew it was the wisest decision for him to make as the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe, but it wasn’t helping him be the best dad to his son… Something he was still struggling with every passing moment.

Even now… Hakoda left his son alone in the healer’s tent with the boy he just recently discovered was the Prince of the Fire Nation… A boy bred into fire and violence. Sokka seemed to trust him, which gave Hakoda a tiny bit of hope that maybe there was something good in this boy… But that tiny feeling was smothered by the rest of the overwhelming amount of mistrust and worry he had when he looked at the golden eyed boy who glared at him from the moment he opened his eyes.

Hakoda rubbed his forehead, digging his thumb into his temple in an attempt to push back the stress vein. He needed to speak to Morrak, and after that… He would make a decision on what was the best next step he could make. He needed to protect his tribe and his son, that was his main concern right now… and right now… Sokka was tied to this fire bender in a way that made Hakoda nervous.

Turning towards the entrance of his tent, Hakoda decided not to overthink this situation a minute longer and go find Morrak so they could talk…

Each time Hakoda thought about all the things he didn’t know, or wasn’t understanding, he felt the weight of his decision growing heavier and heavier. If Hakoda didn’t figure out what to do soon, he was going to be crushed and then Sokka would be on his own…

Hakoda couldn’t fail his son again, he had to make the right decision

- -

Ok so this one is right before Zuko gave himself up in RIA. I don’t remember how the final scene went down but we all know how it ended :) <3

Psst… Dad.”

Hakoda frowned in his sleep, caught in the middle of a dream and the reality that awaited him on the other side.

“Dad… Wake up.”

Hakoda opened his eyes and saw Sokka staring down at him.

“Son? What are you doing in my tent in the middle of the night? Are you ok?”

Hakoda sat up and rubbed his eyes, trying to see through the darkness he was startled when a tiny flame broke through the void and gave clarity to the room.

Zuko was standing behind Sokka who was kneeling next to Hakoda’s bed, and the Water Tribe man felt a mixture of conflicted feelings. He was instantly happy that Zuko had come back for Sokka, but the dred that followed swallowed any joy he had…. Zuko couldn’t be here. If Quon found him… They would all be in trouble.

“I’m fine… Zuko came back. He… We… Ummm… We are leaving.”

Hakoda thought he would be devastated the day his son told him he was leaving again, so sure that his world would bottom out and Hakoda would feel like he was falling into despair. But when he looked at Sokka, and he thought back to the talk they had about his feelings for the fire bender, Hakoda knew that there was nothing he could say to change his son’s decision.

Just like Hakoda had allowed Katara to leave, he had to do the same with Sokka. His children didn’t belong to him anymore, they were grown and they were bonded to people who they were loyal to… And Hakoda was proud of them. It was a monumental thing to find someone you loved, and staying loyal to them was what kept that relationship strong…. Even if Hakoda didn’t love the idea of Sokka choosing a fire bending boy, he wouldn’t stop him from being loyal to his love.

“I understand, son. Allow me to put on my pants and I will help you two escape.”

Zuko spoke up, “I don’t think that will be necessary. The uhh… The helping us… Not the uhh… The pants.”

Hakoda smirked and Sokka smacked his own forehead. No wonder the boy refrained from using words.

“I would like to make sure you two make it out ok. Is that a problem?”

Zuko seemed to dislike the idea, but Sokka gave him a pleading look that had a splash of assertiveness, which seemed to be their typical dynamic. Now that Hakoda was aware of the romantic nature between the boys it was easier to disfer their interactions.

Hakoda slipped on his pants and slid on his boots, making sure he secured his hunting knife inside. He couldn’t grab any other weapons just in case they were caught, Hakoda couldn’t risk looking like he was prepared for a fight. If they were caught, they would need to make sure that whatever words made up their excuse were good enough to fool whoever found them.

As long as it wasn’t Quon, they might have a chance

- -

RIP Shen, I never realized how fucking funny you and Zuko were until you died. I think this was when they were all sharing intel idk… but Zukos an asshole and I love it. (he and Sokka were sooooo hostile during the SWT arc)

“Nothing… Just…. Fucking drop it. How about Zuko and I switch seats and I will come over and help you with the Fire Nation cruiser information. Bato and Zuko can, I don’t know… Play their tile game or whatever.”

“Fine with me. I fucking love games.” Zuko mumbled as he stood up.

Shen watched with wide eyes, not saying a word, and Hakoda could honestly say he had no words to add to the tension either.

“Good!” Sokka stood up as well and made sure to bump his friend’s shoulder as they switched seats. The fire bender glanced back and Hakoda wondered if he was going to shove Sokka in the back but he didn’t reciprocate the hostile gesture and instead he flopped down next to Bato and crossed his arms with his brow narrowed deep into the center of his face.

Shen leaned back when Sokka came to sit down next to him, and Sokka glanced over at him and scoffed.

“Don’t be dramatic. Let’s just get this thing fucking over with so we can be done here.”

“Whatever you say.” Shen replied as Sokka aggressively organized the parchment and prepared to draw out Shen’s cruiser.

Hakoda watched as Sokka’s anger melted when Shen began to explain what it was like being a soldier stationed on Fire Nation cruiser. He told them about -

TA DAAAAAA idk if this is what you wanted…. but here it is. I don’t have anything from the first book, and only a bit from ITF but I do have more RIA. I rambled a lot in the second book ha but yeah idk what else to say! Thanks for the ask.

My translation work under the cut.

I mean you! Don't stand there all stupid! Helping me is preferable! Even to-day!!" OE: "H-Hey, you! Boy! Are you just going to pretend... ...You don't see any of this?! Get over here and help me!" (NOTE: To get more slang-y with it would be like, "Help would be preferable! To-day, please!!")

Oktorok 1: „Bäh!" DT/EQ: „"Gah!" OE: "UGH!"

???: "..." DT/EQ: „"..." OE: "..." (NOTE: I can't tell if this is Link or Ezlo. Not that it matters, since it's literally just silence.)

Ezelo: „Puh. Danke, dass..." DT: „Phew. Thanks, that..." EQ: "Phew. Thanks for..." OE: "Oh my! Thank y-"

Link: „Schon gut. Ich weiß es." DT: „Already good. I know it." EQ: "It's okay. I know it." OE: "You don't have to say it... ...I know how this goes."

OE: "I figure you've got some gold other places too. I don't need your whole pot, but enough to build a house..." (NOTE: I love how not a single version I've seen thus far has used the Japanese's joke about the Dragon King. To be honest, referencing Leprechauns in the English version was probably the best thing they could've done- I mean, the Minish are small, associated with four-leaf clovers, hats, celebrations, and wishes, and are magical... But, here's where the German version takes it. What's being referenced in German is the Aesop Fable, "The Lion and the Mouse", in which a small Mouse is spared being eaten by a Lion, and later when the Lion is trapped, the Mouse saves him as thanks. The reason this REALLY works here, is because of the immense size difference between the Mouse and the Lion... Just like that between the Hylians and the Minish.)

Toneffekte: „Freu freu" DT/EQ: „"Pleased pleased" OE: "BOUNCE"

Ezelo: „Ich bin keine Maus!!" DT: „I am no mouse!!" EQ: "I am not a mouse!!" OE: "I'm NOT a Leprechaun!"

Link: „'Tschuldige. Dann eben ein Vogel?" DT: „Sorry. Then simply a bird?" EQ: "Sorry. Then just a bird?" OE: "Oh yeah, I see that. You're a bird!" (NOTE: Okay, German Link shortens down „Entschuldige"... Which, complete, would be "I'm sorry" or even "Excuse me". So, shortened in ENGLISH could be " 'Scuse me." Which honestly is kind of funny.)

Ezelo: „Auch kein Vogel!" DT: „Also no bird!" EQ: "Also not a bird!" OE: "I'm not a bird either!"

Link: „Was bist du dann? Was für ein Wesen bist du?" DT: „What are you then? What for a being/creature are you?" EQ: "What are you, then? What kind of being/creature are you?" OE: "Well then, what ARE you? Really, what in the world are you?" (NOTE: Idiomatic.)

Ezelo: „Ich bin ich. Ich heiße Ezelo!" DT: „I am I. I (am) call(ed) Ezelo!" EQ: "I am me. I'm Ezelo!" OE: "I'm not a what, I'm a who... I'm Ezlo!" (NOTE: Ezelo/Ezlo stayed Ezelo/Ezlo.)

Toneffekte: „Hah!" DT/EQ: „"Hah!" OE: "Ta-dah"

Link: „Du kennst die Minish nicht? Mann... Alles umsonst..." DT: „You know the Minish not? Man... All (for) nothing..." EQ: "You don't know the Minish? Man... All for nothing..." OE: "Dang! I thought you might be a Picori. Stop wasting my time."

EQ: "I can't fun as fast as you! What if the Monsters attack me again?!" OE: "I can't keep up with you! What if evil spirits attack again?!"

Toneffekte: „Uff Hmpf" DT/EQ: „"Oof hmpf" OE: "Wumph wumph"

Link: „Oh Mann! Ich muss aber schnell die Minish finden." DT: „Oh man! I must but fast the Minish find." EQ: "Oh, man! I must find the Minish quickly." OE: "Beat it! I don't have time for you. I have to find the Picori quickly!"

Ezelo: „Minish? So, so! Wenn du mich mitnimmst, erzähle ich dir was über die Minish." DT: „Minish? So, so! If you me with-take, tell I (to) you what about the Minish." EQ: "Minish? So, so! If you take me along, I'll tell you something about the Minish." OE: "The Picori, you say? The Picori? If you take me along, I'll tell you all about the Picori."

Toneffekte: „Glänz" DT/EQ: „"Gleam" OE: "Gleam"

Link: „Runter!! Du hast mich reingelegt!" DT: „Down!! You (x) me tricked!" EQ: "Down!! You tricked me!" OE: "Get off! You tricked me!"

Ezelo: „Welch eine Unterstellung. Ich erzähle dir alles." DT: „What/such an insinuation/allegation. I tell (to) you all." EQ: "What an allegation. I'll tell you everything." OE: "Hold on, boy, and I'll TELL you about the Picori!"

Ezelo: „So, Kind... Die Welt der Minish ist sehr klein. Daher wirst du sie auch in 100 Jahren nicht finden." DT: „So, child... The world (of) the Minish is very small. Therefore will you them also in 100 years not find." EQ: "So, child... The world of the Minish is very small. Therefore, you'll never find them, even in a 100 years." OE: "Just calm down. The world of the Picori is very small. At your size, you'd NEVER find them."

Ezelo: „Schau dir den Baumstumpf an. Stell dich mal darauf... ...und ich bringe dich zur Minish-Welt." DT: „Look (for) you the tree-stump (x).

Toneffekte: „FWIIIIUUUUUH!" DT/EQ: „"FWEEEEEEE!" OE: "PICORIIIIIIII" (NOTE: ...I love how the German version completely messed up, and the English version both makes sense and DOESN'T make sense. Okay, so, in German, it's clearly been translated as the sound the Minish Portal is making. In English, it's... The gibberish Minish language used in-game. That's cool and all, but... The manga doesn't have the gibberish Minish language... It has the OTHER, backwards, Minish language... BE CONSISTENT, DARN IT. Either way, neither version correctly used the Japanese version's runes which spell out- backwards, that is- "RENA KUSACHI" or "CHISAKU NARE" forwards, which is... "BECOME SMALL" in Minish.)

Link: „Huch...? Wo bin ich jetzt?! Ich war doch im Wald?" DT: „Huh...? Where am I now? I was but in (the) Forest?" EQ: "Huh... Where am I now? I was just in the Forest?" OE: "Huh? Where are we?! Hey, where'd the forest go?"

Link: „Was ist das für ein Monster-Pilz?!" DT: „What is that for a monster-mushroom?!" EQ: "What kind of monster-mushroom is this?!" OE: "What a huge mushroom!" (NOTE: If you're wandering what the heck I'm doing here... I'm correcting all the backwards speech bubbles the English version has. And believe me, there's a LOT of them. And NONE of them were fixed for the "Legendary" edition, either...)

Ezelo: „Da geht es raus, Kindchen." DT: „There go it out, little child/kiddo." EQ: "Go out there, kiddo." OE: "Step outside and see." (NOTE: Also, I think it's adorable that the German manga kept the fact that Ezlo calls Link „Kindchen".)

Link: „Was ist denn das?! Die Bäume und Gräser sind so groß?!" DT: „What is then this?! The trees and grass are so big?!" EQ: "What is this, then?! The trees and grass are so big?!" OE: "W-What's going on here?! The trees and weeds got HUGE!!"

Ezelo: „Sie sind nicht größer geworden, sondern du kleiner." DT: „They (x) not bigger became, rather you smaller." EQ: "They didn't become bigger, rather, you became smaller." OE: "They didn't get bigger... YOU got smaller."

Link: „Ich glaub das nicht... Das ist die Eichel, die am Boden lag?! Puh, ich sehe die Baumspitze nicht mehr." DT: „I believe that not... This is the acorn, that on (the) ground lay?! Phew, I see the tree-tops no more." EQ: "I don't believe it... This is the acorn that was laying on the ground?! Phew, I don't see the tree-tops anymore." OE: "I can't believe it! This acorn was just the size of my toe! I can't even SEE the tops of the trees!"

Ezelo: „Freu dich, dass du mich gerettet hast. Aber du brauchst dich nicht zu bedanken." DT: „Please/happy/rejoice yourself, that you me rescued (have). But you need yourself not to thank." EQ: "Be pleased that you rescued me. But, you don't need to thank yourself." OE: "NOW aren't you glad you saved me? I know.. ...You're stunned. You can thank me later." (NOTE: Ah, I see that German manga Ezlo is just as snarky as German in-game Ezlo.)

Toneffekte: „Pöh..." DT/EQ: „"Boom..." OE: "LOOM"

Toneffekte: „TAAADAAH!" DT/EQ: „"TAADAAH!" OE: "BADOOOM"

Ezelo: „Da ist das Ding von vorhin!" DT: „There is that thing of before!" EQ: "There's that thing from before!" OE: "Oh my! It's that same Octorok!"

Link: „Woah! Es ist ja so riesig!!" DT: „Woah! It is indeed so huge!!" EQ: "Woah! It's really huge!!" OE: "Yipes! "Same"?! It's ginormously huge!"

Toneffekte: „DO DO DOH WACK!" DT/EQ: „"DO DO DOH WHACK!" OE: "THUD THUD CRASH THUDTHUD WHAKK"

Link: „Puuh..." DT/EQ: „"Pheew..." OE: "Huff puff"

Ezelo: „Pass auf, Kindchen! Nicht, das ich in Gefahr gerate!" DT: „Watch out, kiddo! Not, that I in danger put-in!" EQ: "Watch out, kiddo! Don't put me in danger!" OE: "Careful, boy! If you run into something... ...I might get hurt!"

Ezelo: „Schon ein gewöhnliches Ereignis könnte dich in Gefahr bringen... Selbst ein Wassertropfen..." DT: „Already an ordinary occurrence can you in danger bring... Even a water-droplet..."

Link: „Ich komme um, ehe ich die Minish sehe..." DT: „I kill (will), before I the Minish see..." EQ: "I'll be killed before I see the Minish..." OE: "With help like YOURS, I'll NEVER find the Picori." (NOTE: „umkommen"- and I can't believe that line made me laugh harder than the English one.)

Ezelo: „Nun erzähl mal, Kindchen... Warum willst du unbedingt zu ihnen? Ganz allein in so einem Wald..." DT: „Now tell (x), kiddo... Why want you absolutely to them? Completely alone in such a Forest..." EQ: "Now tell, kiddo... Why do you absolutely want to get to them? Completely alone in such a Forest..." OE: "What possible reason can a kid like you have for needing... ...To find the Picori so badly?" (NOTE: That last part could also go as, "Completely alone in a Forest like this...")

Ezelo: „Was?! Fluch des Hexenmeisters?! Das Heilige Schwert?!" DT/EQ: „"What?! Curse (of) the sorcerer?! The Holy Sword?!" OE: "What?! A Mage's curse?! A sacred Sword?"

Ezelo: „Verstehe... Vaati hat die Prinzessin also..." DT: „Understand... Vaati (x) the Princess also..." EQ: "I understand... Vaati also turned the Princess..." OE: "And Vaati turned the Princess into a statue?!" (NOTE: Presumably before getting cut off, Ezlo was going to finish with „versteinert", hence why I added in "turned". Although to still cut him off slightly more accurately would be, "Vaati also petrified the Pri...")

Link: „Ezelo? Kennst du etwas Vaati?!" DT: „Ezelo? Know you something Vaati?!" EQ: "Ezelo? You know something about Vaati?" OE: "Ezlo, what do you know about Vaati?"

Ezelo: „Äh... Nein... Aber unter diesen Umständen werde ich dir helfen, denn allein schafft ein Kindchen das nie." DT: „Uh... No... But under these circumstances will I (for) you help, because alone manages a kiddo this never." EQ: "Uh... No... But, under these circumstances, I'll help you, because a kiddo will never manage this alone." OE: "Errr... Nothing... It doesn't matter. But count on me in this crisis. It's too much for you alone, boy!"

Link: „Hör auf, mich so zu nennen! Ich heiße Link!" DT: „Stop (x), me so to call! I (am) called Link!" EQ: "Stop calling me that! I'm Link!" OE: "Stop calling me "boy"! My name is Link!" (NOTE: Idiomatic.)

Ezelo: „Nun quatsch nicht und geh los! Die Monster hier sind so gefährlich!" DT: „Only twaddle not and go let's! The Monsters here are so dangerous!" EQ: "Stop twaddling and let's go! The Monsters here are so dangerous!" OE: "Link Schmink... Who cares? Let's get moving! This place is crawling with evil spirits! It's dangerous!" (NOTE: *sobs at yet another meaning of „quatsch"*)

Link: „Mach mir nichts vor, Ezelo!" DT: „Fool (for) me not (x), Ezelo!" EQ: "Don't kid me, Ezelo!" OE: "Quit giving orders! You're not in charge!" (NOTE: „vormachen", thus idiomatic.)

Ezelo: „Ein schönes Gefühl, von hier oben herabzuschauen." DT: „A beautiful feeling, from here above down-to-look." EQ: "A beautiful feeling to look down from up here." OE: "No, but I'm the one who can SEE where we're going!"

Link: „Sehr witzig." DT/EQ: „"Very funny." OE: "Know it all!"

Link: „Ich werfe dich gleich runter!!" DT: „I throw you immediately down!!" EQ: "I'll throw you down immediately!!" OE: "It you don't like it, then get down!"

[The OE version then has one extra sound effect that the German one doesn't... OE: "YANK"]

Ezelo: „He, zieh nicht an mir. Unverschämt!!" DT: „Hey, pull not on (to) me. Rude!" EQ: "Hey, don't pull on me! Rude!" OE: "Hey! Don't tug on me! How rude!"

Wald-Minish 1: „Hcsnem nie!" BG: „Ein Mensch!" DT/EQ: „"A human!" OE: "Dangenni." BOE: "Ningen da." BOET: "A human."

(NOTE: I see that German Gentari has taken lessons in being confusing from the German Hurdy-Gurdy Man. Also, the German FLAME-Element got renamed into the Fire-Element... Because why not.

          “ there is --- someone i like... ”

     he had uttered the lines before, a small confession compared to a lot of things. truly way smaller than the time he had confessed of getting into the university oslo, or when he had managed to score a spot on the a-team in the capital (lillehammer ; the place lasse had come to leave without any regret, the city andreas saw himself never turning his back on ever). it seemed like such a casual thing now that he had gotten older, saying that he liked someone. was he getting too old to run to his brother about everything? maybe. would he admit that and acknowledge that maybe, maybe it was about time to stop? never. lasse was someone special to him, and andreas knew that without him there would’ve been a whole different life for him. he owed lasse a lot, he really did.

     leaning onto the table he let out a faint sign, the corner of his lips stuck in a soft smile. admitting his feelings felt strange, just as strange as the first time he had done something similar --- back then it had been a far easier life, one where he hadn’t been forced to think about future things; school, work... location. it should have stressed him, but it didn’t. a part of him was calm for once. maybe it was the effect his brother had on him? 

          lasse made things work; why can’t i ?

     the older looked up from his phone, the restaurant around them calm before the storm. they were out to get lunch. apparently andreas had something he wanted to talk about now that he was in town, and lasse had gladly joined him for food. it had been a while since they had a chance to sit down and catch, seeing how both had been busy with their lives --- lasse with his national team, andreas with his exam work.

          “ someone you like, hm ~ ?” lasse repeated upon putting his phone away. he offered andreas his full attention. “is this... someone i know? someone i have met...? ~”

          a short-lived chuckle slipped past andreas’s lips, fingers fidgeting with the class of water in front of him. “i think you’ve --- run into each other... but i’m not sure if i ever introduced you guys properly...” he said, gazing back up at his brother, “...you met him at one of the matches? when i was out with a cold...? i don’t expect you to remember that far back but ---”

     him. should it have felt weird to say him? the only pronoun to ever have escaped his lips when it came to the topic of feelings had been she, she and her; a clear pattern had been prominent through the years andreas had unintentionally engaged himself in a love life. always some sort of girl he had met somewhere. a girl in school, a girl around the hockey team. an occasional party fling which had always ended up wanting more than what he could possibly provide --- what would lasse say? had he expected it? it seemed like a drastic turn in andreas’s eyes, and yet ... no one had ever bothered asking him what he felt, who he liked... what he even liked. he saw no need to label himself, because feelings came and went as they pleased. there had been crushes on several people, girls and boys, some he hadn’t even considered the gender of --- but... none had developed into something, not something worth mentioning, at least.

     until now. 

was he --- supposed to be shocked?

     green eyes rested upon andreas’s visuals, his hands folded on top of the table where he remained as calm as ever; “~ him...? the home match? at lillehammer? no i can’t... wait, yeah... it was an away match, wasn’t it? it was in lørenskog and you dropped by after the game?” lasse said, hands gradually moving as they joined in on the conversation. 

          “i remember him!” he then added, leaning back into his seat, “...seemed a bit lost to begin with ~ new to hockey i guess?"

          “something like that... and, i guess it’s not everyday you end up talking to the guy who voluntarily stripped in order to raise money...” andreas replied lowering his eyes again. his cheeks had tinted in a faint shade of red, but it was a good shade, for he wasn’t embarrassed over the fact that he had taken a liking to one of his male friends. far from it. his face was bashful because it felt good to be able to talk about it with his brother. “guess natanael was in a bit of a shock... to see you almost fully dressed; you could’ve put on a shirt, you know...” 

     he is blushing, lasse thought to himself. feeling a smile crawling onto his own face he couldn’t help but to chuckle along with andreas. he actually likes this person, i can see it --- he really must mean something to andreas... 

     they had always been so different, the two of them. if there was a brother lasse actually had a lot in common with it was kim. they were both someone who struggled, and both someone who had entered the world without any exceptions; andreas, on the other hand, had been on the opposite side of the spectre. he had been drowned in expectations from day one. a bright kid, someone who could make a good future for himself --- yet someone lasse and gradually come to worry more and more about. he had been indepedent, he had been bright, and yet... he had never made much out of himself. he never asked for help, nor did andreas let people in on when he was sad, happy or simply confused. at a point in his childhood lasse had worried so much about him that they had taken a weekend off just to play hockey. a small camp up at a frozen lake in øyer; having rented a cabin, the two had had reached a breaking point, andreas had reached a breaking point. 

     he had never seen him cry much until that day.

     it marked ten years ago now, and they had only grown closer ever since for lasse had come to learn that as different as they appeared to be, they were still brothers and there were concerns and fears he, too, had once had. school hadn’t been easy, yet he hadn’t told anyone. teachers had been a bother, yet he hadn’t dared to tell anyone; andreas had been taught to be the best kid, and he had lived up to it in ways no one could begin to imagine.

     that was why... lasse liked it when he came to him to open up. it made it feel as if they were still close, and that they were still important to one another; he wasn’t surprised at andreas’s words, far from it. he had almost been waiting for the day to happen.

           “ --- yeah, yeah..." lasse said, tilting his head to the side, “...guess you haven’t told mom about it yet? if you had then we’d all be having cake and coffee by now... you know how she likes to ---

          “ --- introdusere kjæresten til alle sammen,” andreas said, finishing up the sentence in sync with lasse. “i know... and that’s why i haven’t told her yet, because... well, she has met natanael, but you know she’ll go a bit... coo-coo when i bring up having a sweetheart in the middle of my studies. she just wants me to do good in school... and i want to make her proud, so... i’ll let it linger a little bit...”

          “school... yeah... wait --- natanael lives in oslo, doesn’t he? or does he just study there...? i know his mom lives in moelven, but --- i’m not sure about him? are you... going to have a --- distance thing, or...?” a pause came from lasse, arm leaning on the back of the chair next to him, “...avstand funker det, altså... men, jeg anbefaler det ikke med mindre du er villig til å virkelig ofre deg når det kommer til tid... avgifter... kjedelige ting?” 

     a lump appeared in andreas’s stomach again. its weight weighed him down, but it also awakened a series of wild butterflies within him; he was well aware about the distance, more aware than what lasse knew, but he had it covered. if there was one thing he had learned from his family --- it was to think ahead, maybe a bit ahead of himself. 

     he had taken care of it, if... distance became a bother.

          “ --- jeg skal kanskje flytte til oslo.” 

          “ til oslo --- ?” 

     hands moved again, their trembling frames picking up the iPhone in his pocket. there was more than one simple confession andreas had to make for his brother --- the other had been a secret from everyone, even his teammates. it was a bold leap for andreas, and he knew his brother wouldn’t be happy about it. but, it was a chance --- a chance he had been dying to get. this way he’d be able to focus on, possible, studies, his career and --- his love life; he’d be able to start something of his own. hopefully. 

          “ ikke bli sur... men --- i’ve got an offer from vålerenga. ”
