Chapter Text
Bambi and Nemo got to the party relatively on time, there were some other people already there so they weren’t the first to get there but it wasn’t like that was their ultimate goal anyways, they succeeded at getting there so now they could just have fun!
When they had walked into the club Nemo had spotted Marina and hugged Bambi before heading over to Marina to go chat up to her, in the meantime Bambi was walking to this tall curly haired stranger clothed in some red pants and a red vest with some sort of nose bridge type of jewelry, which to be fair really suited them, Nemo had decided that they’ll say hi to them later on. It was always nice to get more friends!
Nemo and Marina just had some nice conversation about the café where they were both working/ going to work, and Marina told Nemo that the sphere there was always really cozy and that almost all of the colleagues were really nice people, and everybody there was either an ally or queer, so everybody was accepted there! Marina also told that she’d moved to Malmö a month upfront so she could settle down easily, develop a routine and scout out the entire area before the classes actually all started.
After Nemo and Marina chatted about just some other stuff Nemo decided to join Bambi and to also learn to know all the other people that now had seemingly joined Bambi and the curly haired person that Bambi was talking to at the start of the evening.
Nemo walked up to Bambi and hugged them
‘Hii bambi!’
“Nemoo! Hey!”
Bambi of course reciprocated the hug
“Introduce yourself to the others Nemo!”
“Sure! My name is Nemo, I go by they/them pronouns, I’m 24 years old and I’m from Switzerland!”
Everybody said their Hi’s to Nemo except for the guy with the red vest.
That’s odd, nemo thought to themself but didn’t take it personally, they probably just hadn’t noticed them!
Everybody else had done a quick introduction of themselves, and Nemo quickly learned that no body here was actually from Sweden, not even the twins who’s names were Marcus and Martinus, they’d been living in Sweden ever since the pandemic but actually Norwegian. Pretty ironic but it’s not like it really mattered anyways since they’d be getting lessons in English, the only people who that may cause an issue for would be the old couple who could seemingly only speak Spanish, welp that’s a problem for them, not for Nemo!
Nemo had some nice time chatting up to all the people there, they’d spoken to the Slovenian Raiven about opera, she’d studied opera specifically already in Slovenia but wanted to take another course so she came here to Sweden to follow an international course here!
There was this Croatian guy named Marko as well who seemed really shy and wasn’t really talking to anyone but Raiven, but after a bit Nemo managed to catch some small-talk with him, and he was actually a sweetheart! He did indeed confirm that he was quite shy and was scared of what the others might think of him and that they might hate him. Nemo reassured him that they would love him, he was a sweetheart! How could anyone hate him! He also told about his artist name ‘Baby Lasagna’ which was actually really cute when he explained it a bit, it was like the baby of the papa lasagna, also funny of course but very sweet!
Nemo spoke briefly with these Dutch guys but mainly Joost, he was actually really funny and seemed to charm everyone around him, which made sense because he was such a happy presence who you could definitely sense if he was in the room. Or you could hear him, he was quite loud, but not really too loud.
Now for the curly haired dude, Nemo learned that his name was Silvestras and that he was from Lithuania, Nemo had accidentally spilled their drink over him and accidentally stained their vest lightly at the start of the evening and it seemed as if he still hadn’t forgiven them over this, after the incident Silvester had run to the bathroom to try and get out the stain, Nemo wanted to follow him and help him but Bambi held them back and shook their head. Nemo was feeling really sorry if they accidentally ruined their jacket because it looked so nice on them. After ten minutes or so Silvestras came back out of the bathroom and he had seemingly gotten rid of the stain. Nemo wanted to go back to him and say sorry again but Silvestras dodged him. And they could understand he was mad at them for spilling the drink but they didn’t mean to plus he had gotten the stain out of their clothes in the end!
They decided to just let Silvestras be and to just live on with their evening and not let him ruin their evening! In the end they had a lot of fun getting to know all of the others, everyone was so sweet and accepting! They hadn’t really spoken to the old Spanish couple because, well they didn’t speak any Spanish whatsoever. But seemingly everyone was very sweet, except for Silvestras then he wouldn’t even look in Nemo’s direction, it looked as if he was really holding a grudge against them for something they couldn’t help. And they wanted to stay un-biased about this dude, but they just couldn’t, he’d acted so cold towards Nemo the entire time and it just really annoyed them.
Bambi and Nemo did go back to their dorm together at the end of the party and Nemo finally told Bambi that it was really bothering them that Silvestras was acting so cold towards them and that they started to find it actually quite annoying at this point. Bambi had then just kind of shut it down replying that he must've been tired because normally he was actually really nice. Nemo tried to take fae's word for it even though Silvestras' actions were still nogging in the back of their mind when they tried to go to sleep, they just really wanted for him to like them. Normally they didn't really have this feeling but now they did, which was kind of odd? Well they couldn't quite be bothered now even though they literally were. They had classes tomorrow they better catch at least some sleep.
