Breathes of cold air could be seen as he ran to catch up with his older brother, Britain. His breath came out ragged and he caught eyes of people of the harbor city, who felt pity for such a sickly looking kid. But he didn't know that, as he knew he would become healthier with his big sister's cooking. She could always make him feel better about anything with just her cooking and the fact she would always tell him she loved him dearly.

When he caught up to Britain, he then tried to grab his hand wanting to keep up with him without having to run so much. The older blond looked down at him and something passed through his eyes before slowly he took the young boy's hand. The little boy gave him a bright smile and pulled him a bit to start walking. When turning his head away, Britain smiled and started to walk to their destination.

Britain wanted to take a coach to where they were going, but Halifax insisted that he could walk him there. Nova Scotia also put in that he should spend some time with him and show him some attention rather than ignoring him. He muttered at how the girl spoke to him, but he couldn't help but agree with her. He did need to show the boy something other than anger that was caused by others. Halifax was always trying to show his love to him by giving hugs, kisses on the cheek and presents that he though Britain would love.

"Brother, who are we meeting for business today?" Halifax asked.

"We are meeting America and one of his capitols, Boston for trading." He answered back, adjusting both his and Halifax's scarf.

"I've met America, but never Boston. What's he like?"

"A nice boy who's on the quiet side. Quite the opposite of America to be honest."

Halifax nodded and turned a corner onto the street where they were suppose to meet the two. Men in business suits gave him some looks, but nothing more than that. Halifax tugged a bit, excitement clearly taking over his body. Another smile came through his face at how cute Halifax was being.

"Which building was it again, brother?"

He pointed to a building that was further down the street and then felt himself being dragged there by little business men gave them weird looks and some of them then whispered to each other.

That's when he heard a loud voice calling through a window from one of the windows high up in the building. His face turned into a scowl and his gripped may have tightened a bit.

"Hey guys you should get your butt up here! I don't have all day you know!" Shouted the puppy like, America.

Halifax whether trying to act like a child or somehow found that sentence a bit funny, he giggled and tugged Britain towards the door. They went up flights of stairs before finding the room, that Halifax had set up for all of them. A dull blue colour on the walls with white trim and a table with some food on it, a complimentary that Nova Scotia and Halifax provided with chairs surrounding it, is what Britain saw as he went into the room.

Hey Britain, what took you so long?" America asked loudly.

"I wanted to walk with big brother, so me and big sister insisted that he should walk instead of taking a coach here." Halifax replied in a joyful tone.

"That's cute."

With that Britain saw Halifax looking around for what could become his trading partner. America didn't take notice of this and kept talking about something that was going in his country.

Halifax wandered off a bit and saw a boy with a dark shade of brown sitting in the chair quietly and holding his hands in the proper way. Halifax saw that he was looking at the food with hungry eyes. A smile that had spread itself on his face while taking all of this in, he walked over to the boy and started to speak to him.

"Why don't you take a bite? I'm sure Mr. America and Britain will understand."

The boy snapped his head up and was blushing at the fact he was caught doing what little children did when seeing sweets.

"I wanted to wait for my hosts to serve me. That's what America told me what was best to do when being invited to somebody's house." He said quietly.

"Well we're here now, so I declare that we can eat. After all my sister and I paid and cooked it for you to enjoy. She said that you like lobster just like me and her." Halifax said with a bright smile.

Boston gave him a strange look for a few seconds before he turned his head to the food. He got up from his chair and leaned slightly over the table to grab what he wanted. Halifax felt his heart sing with joy when Boston told him that the food as good, even if it tasted slight different from what he was use to.

America and Britain saw what happened and couldn't help, but be those mothers who cooed at their friend's new born baby.

"This is great that they get along! So you think that they'll have a trading agreement?" America said, whispering into Britain's ear.

"I suppose that they will." Was Britain's answer.

They joined in with the food party and talked about anything and everything. Especially politics and how they felt about it.

Soon the food disappeared and the two boys couldn't help fall asleep from all that they ate. The two countries picked up their capitols and decided to ride a coach together to save on the money.

In silence they rode until they arrived at Halifax's home which was a home that was on the outskirts of the growing city. As Britain carefully took Halifax into his arm, he felt a tap on his shoulder from behind. He turned himself towards the doorway of the coach. There was the younger country as he held onto his capitol. Boston slept with a peaceful face and a bit of drool that was starting to fall.

There was a silent conversation between the two. Those who saw them said they couldn't say what they must have been saying to each other in silence.

The other nation shrugged and as best he could shut the door to the coach. Britain told the coachmen that they could take those two to their hotel now. He walked up the walk way, seeing the windows being lite with candles. Halifax snuggled closer for warmth. Breathes of cold air came from the both of them as they entered the home.

Yeah I'm starting a new fanfic...I wasn't counting on it. Anyway A little history note, Britain did create Halifax in 1749. I figured Halifax would see him as an older brother figure that wasn't around a lot. I also know that Halifax had been trading partners with Boston since he was created, so this is their first meeting.

On another note, I felt that America and Britain would have some tense moments way before 1765 when the American Revolution started, so I gave some tense moments.
