Chapter 4 - Jokes while waiting for assembly to start

You sat next to Berwald in the front section of the assembly area, Tino sat beside him, then Lukas, Mathias and Emil next to the isle; Emil seemed to fear you and you had not the slightest clue why. All the seats on your side were all vacant, but as soon as someone approached a seat near you they would run away all pale and about to wet themselves; it was odd and Berwald seemed to have a small smirking in the corner of his mouth every time it happened. So far today was rather enjoyable, you finished Feliks's portrait, ended up daydreaming all through English and you can't remember what else you did today because you were basically lost in a daydream while Berwald stood by your side keeping all socialisation away from you; literally the best person you knew. You glanced over to your left and saw Gilbert accompanied by Ludwig walking over to you, Gilbert sat down next you and Ludwig next to him; from the corner of your eye you noticed that Berwald's almost invisible smirk had completely disappeared.

Gilbert: looking at you
Have jou enjoyed jour first day, cause the awe--

Gilbert gasped in pain as Ludwig elbowed him in the side, Gilbert hunched over in his seat and held his side while thanking his brother in a slow and frustrated pace. You couldn't help but wonder why Ludwig did that to him, but you had a strange filling that this had to do with something that kept him from acting how he really wants; ever since you met him something seemed like it was being 'restrained' within him. Berwald glanced over at you and noticed that your eyes were glued on Gilbert who was nursing his sore rips, even though you didn't say or do anything other than watch him Berwald could see something in your (e/c) eyes; he didn't like the look in your eyes and need to act fast. Berwald cleared his throat and receive your attention, a small shimmer of victory shone in his blue eyes for a split second.

Berwald: looking at you
After this assembly we will be required to go to the cafeteria for dinner, it ends at 6:30pm; which means between the 6:30pm to 8pm the library, game room, gym and visiting other dorms are allowed. But at 8:10pm it is mandatory that everyone is in their own dorms doing whatever.

You: nodding your head and talking softly at Berwald
Thanks for telling me that.

Gilbert: sitting up straight and smiling
Jour not nervous around Berwald!

It was true, you have become very comfortable around Berwald and occasionally spoke with him, however there was still a timid tone slightly present; the thing is that only this morning you met him, but somehow this happened. The only logical answer to this strange 'anomaly' is that you absolutely adored Berwald's power of keeping people away from you just by being there, but it also must of been his voice and accent, one of the very few things on the earth that made you weak at the knees in a good way. Gilbert looked at you like he was waiting for you to respond, yet again you weren't ready to talk to him without a proper warning; why can't people just approach you like a week before they ask you to talk, just giving you a few days notice in advance would be fantastic.

You: talking instinctively
Why can't a nose be 12 inches long?

Gilbert: excited to hear what you were going to say
Vhy?

You: stupidly laughing
Cause it will be a foot then!

You squirmed around in your seat with embarrassment and looked at Berwald who was softly shaking his head while pushing his glasses up. You could hear Gilbert ask Ludwig to explain the joke; you just wallowed down in your seat and punished yourself by biting down on your tongue, this was your weird way of punishing yourself for saying something stupid. Sure other people can tell fantastic jokes verbally, but you just had to be pleased with the ability to butcher words better than an actual butcher can cut a slice of ham; maybe if you just gave up on getting an education and got a job as a butcher butchering meat by just talking to it, you would be using you talent effectively. A sudden hand on your shoulder made you lock eyes with Berwald, fear overwhelmed your face and this triggered something in Berwald. He looked away from you and up at the person who had their hand on your shoulder, a low rumbling hushed growl escaped from his mouth; the hand was no longer on your shoulder.

Gilbert: apologising
Sorry, I vas going to tell jou a joke, but jou weren't responding to me vhen I vas calling jour name.

You shakily gestured to him to proceed with his joke.

Gilbert: smirking
Vell I don't have a 12 inch nose, but I have a 5 meter 'friend', do jou vant to meet 'em?

Both Ludwig and Berwald sighed in disappointment, you didn't understand why they both did that, you were genuinely curious if he really did know someone that was 5 meters tall.

Ludwig: crossing his arms and looking at the stage
Jour just begging for trouble bruder (brother), jou know I vill need to tell Opa. (Grandpa)

Gilbert: gulping
____ vhat did jou think that joke was about?

You: shrugging your shoulders
... A giant.

Ludwig: pointing one finger to Gilbert
That vas jour last chance, don't mess up again.

Gilbert cheered to himself, slightly kicking his feet up into the air and waving his index fingers in the air like what people did back in the disco era. You were utterly confused of why he was so happy, but if Ludwig was threatening him with telling their grandfather of a joke Ludwig thought of as offensive; what was Mr Germania going to do to Gilbert, his own grandson? When you saw Mr Germania walk onto the stage everyone went quiet and you quietly shrieked to yourself, gaining Berwald to quickly glance at you with caring eyes; he quickly released a small smiled at you as you unconsciously tilted your head against his shoulder.
