Why Me?

The Morning Continues ( Chapter 5 )

"What!?" Denmark was startled. "What were you expecting?" Ned got up and started walking out. "Well it sounded like you were gonna say yes !" Denmark exclaims as he follows Ned down the hall. Ned stops walking and turns around to face Denmark. "Why would I do that! First thing I barely know you and I only interact with you during political or business affairs. Two is that the only things we have in common are that people confuse our names for the other's, our hair, the closeness of our countries and the letters in our names. Third is that you come in to my house make a mess of my kitchen and slept in my bed with me in it! Do you realize how rude and inconsiderate and annoying and childish and etc. you were!!!!!" Ned face was very serious but his face was blushing. Ned and Denmark stood there for a while in silence.

"Oooh. I get it you're embarrassed that we were sleeping together!" Ned face turned a deep red that a tomato would be jealous.

"What? No! Don't avoid the issue!" "Awww, but Ned I'm sorry. I promise I won't do anything like that again."

"No." "Please." "No." "Pleeeeeeeassssse!"

Ned looked at the pleading country. 'Maybe he could stay, after all he can't go back home. He did promise he wouldn't do it again...' Ned finally responded "Well, I guess you could stay for a little while. But you should know I might ask something of you in the future." "Yeah, okay! Thank you so much!!!" Denmark suddenly hugged Ned which took him by surprise. He never really liked physical contact and he thought he would push Denmark away. But he didn't and soon Denmark let go of him. Denmark plopped down on Ned's couch and started to watch some tv while laying on his side. Ned walked over and sat down on the other end of the couch. Denmark laid on his back and rested his feet on Ned's legs. Ned didn't mind. He just laid his arms over them. "So do you want to do something?" Asked Denmark. "Like what?" "I don't know. Maybe go out?" Ned thought for a moment and replied ,"Well I do have some shopping to do." "Well, okay! Let's go do that." Denmark got off of the couch. "Okay."

Ned and Denmark went into the city. Denmark followed Ned as he entered a store. As he went in Denmark saw that this was not your ordinary store. This was a drug store. "Ned, you do drugs?" "Yeah. Shouldn't that be obvious from the fact that drugs are legal in my country?" "Yeah I guess so. What kinds of drugs do you use?" "I just smoke weed." "Cool. Cool. Cool." Ned purchased some weed. They walked out of the shop and headed back to the apartment. "Was that it Ned?" "Yeah." As they walked down the sidewalk Denmark saw a video store. "Well, as long as we're out, how bout getting some movies?" "Sure." So the two rented a couple of movies and headed back to the apartment.
