After the Great Feast, which was par for the course every year, silent little footsteps made their way up to the Owlery.
He'd been told in the past that he had to confront his fears, and so, almost every few months, he'd make his way up here.
Opening the door, hundreds of bright eyes stared out at him from the darkness, with painful screeches and sharp beaks. It might have been a stupid idea, but Raivis took a deep breath and stared at them. "Es neesmu nobijes..." He whimpered. "Es esmu drosmiigs..." The shakes were beginning to take over his body, and he almost sounded like he was hyperventilating to the untrained ear.
"I'm not scared..."
An owl hooted, loudly flapping its wings on its perch.
Raivis fell on his bottom, biting his lip hard.

Of course, the Livonian wasn't going to give up a chance to stalk his little cousin. Especially when he noticed the boy wasn't heading down the way of the common rooms, it warranted investigation... Didn't it? Well, for him... He was nosy when it came to the small boy. The other tended to evoke the worst of his feelings.
The owlery? It was the only thing Ymant could think was up in this direction. And surely enough he soon found himself outside the door after Raivis snuck in. Inside, he could hear slight scuffling from the owls. Then, slowly but surely came the near-hyperventilating sounds of the Latvian boy. Just perfect, it seemed like the owls were getting a head start on frightening him. His job would be easy, and he'd be able to get Raivis back for the mess he created in the Great Hall for him...
Hearing the loud hooting of the owl and a scuffle slightly after, a grin spread across his lips.
"Galante. What are you doing?" Making his tone harsh, he slid into the owlery, eyes trying to focus in the darkness. "Isn't it past your bedtime?" Crossing his arms, he stood in the doorway.

Terrified violet eyes turned towards his white-blond cousin from behind. Raivis was currently resting on his bottom, his palms flat against the cold stone flooring. "N-n-n-no, it's no...n-not my bedtime..."
An owl hooted.
He flinched, then hunched himself up into a ball. Why did Ymant have to come here? He was terrified he'd get him back for the humiliation he'd caused him at the great feast. "PL-please don't h-huh...hurt me..."

"But good little boys would be in bed by now, hmn? Isn't this true, Raivis?" Taking a few steps closer, he then crouched down on the floor next to his cousin. Raivis' owl phobia was amusing to him. They were around owls all the time, it was rather a necessity to get used to them.
Crossing his arms over his knees, he leaned in closer when the other blonde curled into a ball. How dramatic, too over the top every time he trembled and shook and cried... Didn't he have any dignity at least? With an amused look on his face still, Ymant spoke again.
'Why would I hurt you? You look like you scared yourself more than adequately."

"I'm o-o-only 3 years younger than you!" He cried, not liking how close Ymant was.
Ymant always had this rich, sea-breeze scent about him that permeated thickly into his nostrils, which made him present even though Raivis had closed his eyes to block him out visually.
He took a few deep breaths and attempted to stand up, although his legs had turned to jelly.

"Three years or thirty. It still gives me more authority over you... You're to respect your elders, nä?" Cocking his head to the side, the teenager was still smirking over the poor boy. It made him superior to treat Raivis like this, even if the cream-color haired teen was the only one in the world he'd treat this way.
A manifestation of his jealousy was all it was, really. Not that he'd be caught dead admitting it.
In amusement, he watched Raivis try to stand.
"You may not want to get up that way, there's an owl right infront of your face."

Raivis shrieked and ducked backwards, falling again.
"I'm t-t-t-rying t...to be brave... g-g-go away..." He whimpered. "Y-y-y-you have no right to tr...treat me like this."

"Nein." The German slipped out by accident, although it was a much more intimidating-sounding language than his own. "You're not brave, nor are you trying to be. You stutter terribly, how can a boy like that ever be anything other than a coward?"
A thin smile spread on his lips.
"...I have my own reasons, Raivis."

"Get away from me!" He shrieked. Such loud noises were definitely not good for the owls. Nicht gut at all. One of the older owls squawked loudly and drew out its fully wingspan, going to peck Raivis.
He shivered harder, trying to defend himself. "H-h-help me!!"

Ymant rolled his eyes slightly. The noise wasn't exactly good for his ear either, long enough around the Latvian and he could definitely end up with a headache.
Glancing up at one of the owls, he grumbled. He'd have to do something, wouldn't he? Brushing at the owl carelessly with his arm, he knelt down and swept Raivis into a protective hold just in case, shielding him with his own body.
As much as he came close to hating Raivis, he didn't want him killed.
"Just calm down!" He ordered.

Latvia shivered hard, then relaxed into Ymant's grip. At least being shielded by his cousin had saved him from a nasty pecking.
He took a few deep breaths, then looked up tearfully at Ymant's steely gaze.

"You really must learn how to defend yourself." Muttering dryly, Ymant turned his head to watch the owl. Making sure it finally went back to it's post, the Livonian relaxed his grip and sighed, turning back down at Raivis.
"...Don't start crying again. It's annoying..."

"I w-w-w-on't." He managed to breathe out. "I'll b-b-be a good boy... s-s-s-so long as you're a g-good boy too..." He smiled, hoping his cousin wouldn't take any offence from that.

Ymant gave a slight, frustrated sigh. Couldn't Raivis tell that it was just only around him that he was like this? Other than that... He was fine around others, although not rather friendly either.
"...I'm not really a boy. You are still though..." He let go of his smaller cousin, scooting back away. "But I am good. You just bring out the worse in people, it seems."

"I d-don't!" He cried quietly, upset by Ymant's last statement. "Th-that's no-not fair, cousin!"

"Hmn." Ymant placed an elbow on his knee, resting his chin in his hand. Reaching over, he casually used his thumb to swipe the tears growing at the corner of the Latvian's violet eyes.
"It may not be fair, but... You also said you weren't going to cry, didn't you? So how is that fair?" He wiped his thumb on Raivis' collar. "Shush."

"W-w-w-well, I didn't mean to..." He sniffed, taking another deep breath. "It just seems like you totally and utterly hate me..."

"You have to learn how to control yourself better." Sneering a bit, he turned his head to the side. Resting both hands over his lap now, his smile turned down. Hate was strong, too strong to use in this situation or any, really. And no one was supposed to hate...
"..Well. I dislike you. Is that better?"

"D-D-D-Dislike?" Raivis mumbled. "Th-that's not fair... wh-why do you have it in for me?" He turned to show his crying face to Ymant. "I've never d-done anything wrong to you..."

"...Nä. Dislike. Don't..." He sighed as the younger boy began to cry again. Holding a hand up to his forehead, he shook his head. The Livonian may act cruel sometimes, but he wasn't straight out cruel.
"Don't question it. It's not as if you like me much either, so we're even, right? Get over it. Don't start crying again." His lips pulled down into a frown.
