Chapter Text
I woke up to an empty house. Normally I would be worried for Switzy, but, he’s been seeing Mr. Austria more, so today I do not worry. I entered the kitchen quietly, scanning around the room. My eyes land on a note that Switzerland had apparently left on the fridge. I hope he isn’t out all day today, I would be so lonely!
I walked over to the fridge, gently grabbing the note and reading it carefully.
“Sorry, Liech, I won’t be home for a while. There’s money on the counter, use it how you like, I don’t care. Take care of yourself while I’m gone.”
I tilt my head, connecting the dots. Big brother doesn’t care how I use the money!? That’s never ever happened before! I clutch the note even harder, not really noticing I did until I stopped zoning out and took a good look at the note in my hands. “Okay, Lili, we’re going to use this money wisely. That’s what big brother would want!” I mutter, feeling determined.
I set the note back onto the fridge, looking over at the counter and taking in the sight of the money big brother had left for me. I’m feeling a weird sort of rush inside me right now, I wonder why.. but that isn’t important right now! What’s important is that I take care of myself and don’t do anything that would get me in trouble!
All of a sudden, I snapped out of my excitement. Big brother will be out for a while. How long is a while?! Will it be a long while? Or a short while? A worrying while? Who knows, who knows! He really left me all alone…. by myself… with money of all things.. and he doesn’t care how I spend it..
This is, like, really suspicious! What if big brother was going to leave me here all by myself for days, no, weeks, and he used the money as a bribe! I’m overthinking this again, never mind. As long as he is safe.. I don’t care what he does… and if he doesn’t abandon me! That too.
“The day will go by smoothly, Lili. You don’t have to worry.”At least, that’s what I told myself. For now, I will eat breakfast, although I’m eating in silence. Even if big brother didn’t really talk much while we ate, I didn’t mind doing the talking, even if he responded using only one word.
Making breakfast wasn’t much of a difficult task, I had done it a few times before. Mainly when I happened to wake up before Switzerland and wanted to do something nice for him. I’ll just make some toast, that’s simple.
As I waited for my toast to finish, I grabbed some jam to put on it, so it isn’t that bland. Grabbing jam took no time, so I waited for my toast to finish cooking by thinking. Really thinking.
I wonder why big brother is hanging around Mr. Austria way more than he used to. If I remember correctly, Switzerland didn’t really like Mr. Austria… Wait. I giggle softly at the thought. Are they in looovvee?~
I hope they are, big brother needs someone to love, like, romantically. Maybe it’d help him be kinder. The loud ‘ding!’ of the toaster stopped my pondering. I grabbed a plate and carefully grabbed my toast, placing it onto the plate. I grab the jam I had gotten earlier, looking around for any sort of knife so I could spread it on my toast. I should’ve gotten a knife earlier…
After scrambling to get a butter knife, I successfully spread the jam on my toast. Dinner is served! Well, it’d be breakfast is served, but who cares? Before being able to dig in, I poured myself a glass of milk. Now breakfast is really served.
I ate louder than I ever have before, probably because of the silence.
