Five attempts within a week, Suga attempted to kill Daichi five times and was unable to do it whether he rethought of it or he got caught. He just wanted to go home, he stood outside watching snow peacefully scatter on the frosted grass as the sun barely began to peer up from the mountain side.

He smiled as he watched the surrounding nature around him, it was new to see trees and green wildlife as soon as he stepped out the door, but he was too worried of falling in love with it and not going home. 

"Suga?"
The silverette turned his head as he locked eyes with Daichi, a warm smile tugged at the Dane's lips as Suga realized he no longer had his hair up in braids, he watched as Daichi sat down next to him.

Suga could see the faint war scars on his face, some hidden under his Nordic tattoos others healed so they were barely visible on his skin, unaware he reached a hand out tracing his fingers along a fancily designed tattoo on Daichi's neck.

"You do like it?"
"It's pretty, it reminds me of the mountains.."

Daichi looked surprised as he saw a meaningful smile on the silverettes face, he grabbed the boys hand softly as he stood up pulling Suga to his feet. "Hey! Don't touch me! get of-"

"Do you like horse?"
Suga swallowed his curses as he looked over at where Daichi was staring, a small farm stayed near his house and a large black and white work horse ate the over grown grass. "I've never ridden a horse.."

Suga watched as Daichi put the saddle and halter onto the horse before walking over to Suga, he helped the boy on before jumping up behind him, the silverette felt Daichi put the reins into his hands. "W-Wait I don't know what to do?!"

"I will help, hold him."

Suga calmed as he saw Daichi's hands next to his on the reins, he went to let go but the Dane put the reins back into his hands. "You learn today."  Suga felt scared as the horse began moving, a soft chuckle left from the tan man behind him, he watched was they walked on a trail leading to the forest. "Are we going in there?"

"I take you to town?"
Suga didn't know how far the town was but if it meant getting to be free from that house he was all for it, he didn't realize that Daichi's hands were no longer holding onto the reins, he jumped as he felt fur being placed around him. 

"Teach me."
"huh? Teach you what?"
"Your words."

Suga laughed. "My words? Do you mean my language?"
"Ja."

He thought about it for a moment, before shaking his head, why should he teach the Dane who took him away from his home if he wasn't going to get anything in return. "Please." 

"I will not. I'm not going to teach a Dane who took me from home and barely lets me ever leave, my language."

The horse stopped moving, looking over his shoulder he saw Daichi with a disappointed look staring down at him, with a sigh the Dane jumped off the horse and began walking ahead leaving the boy confused. "Hey! Wait I still don't know how to control a horse! Daichi!"

The sound of a tongue clicking jumped from the trees before the tall horse began walking towards Daichi, he felt bad seeing the Dane walk leaving him on the horse. "Is this you trying to convince me I should teach you?"

There was no answer besides the sound of hooves against the cold dirt, grabbing the reins he pulled back causing the horse to stop, Daichi turned around as Suga looked at him with a shocked face. "I- Did you see that? Did you see what I did Daichi?!"

"Ja, ik zag. (Yes, I saw)"
The happy sounding voice from before no longer held its happiness, Suga let his smile fall as they began moving again, he felt guilty but he didn't want to admit it. When they arrived children were running around with smiles on their faces and the adults stopped whatever they were doing, some women gasped as they looked up at Suga.

"Daichi, why are they all looking at me as if I killed someone?"
"Het is tegen de wet dat een slaaf op een paard zit. (It is against the law for a slave to sit on a horse.)"

The silverette shot a glare down at the Dane before seeing a familiar long haired man. "Asahi!" The Dane looked surprised seeing how happy Suga was to see him, he quickly looked over at Daichi with a smile only for the man to shake his head and Asahi let out a long sigh.

Daichi helped Suga off the horse as they walked towards Asahi, murmurs spread through the crowd before they began walking away. Suga heard the two begin talking but he couldn't understand so instead he looked at his surroundings before a kid walked up to him.

"Ben jij Daichi's schildmaagd? (Are you Daichi's shield maiden?)"
Suga smiled as he got down to the kid's level, he didn't understand a word he said to him besides Daichi's name. "Ja." The kid smiled happily. "Jij bent heel mooi! (You are very pretty!)"

Asahi smiled seeing Daichi smiling happily as the kid handed a purple daisy to Suga before running away, the silverette turned around with a smile he paused seeing Asahi holding back a laugh as Daichi had an excited expression. "What?"

"Oh it's nothing Suga, don't worry about it."
Asahi begun laughing as Daichi walked over taking the flower from Suga's hand, he placed the flower in his hair with a smile before pressing a gentle kiss to Suga's forehead. The gesture caused Suga's heart to suddenly beat faster as a blush arose to his cheeks, he was confused.

"ik hou ook van jou, schat. (I love you too honey.)"

Although Suga didn't understand what he had said something about the words felt different to him, they felt softer and more loving, his heart pounded in his chest as he followed Daichi and Asahi inside as he thought about the words trying desperately to think of what they meant and why they were causing him to respond like this. 

He paused, the sudden memory of a kiss filled his mind, but the lips didn't belong to Oikawa.
"I need to go home."
