Things that girls like, the fluffy, the sparkly, the cute, the sweet, cooking, sewing, and love stories are things that I've always liked…

Crash. "E-Eliot…" Eliot turned to see his mother's shocked face. "M… Mama…?" Eliot said innocently. He had been on the floor of the living room knitting.

"How could it be…? How could it be…?" His mother cried clutching her hair. Eliot looked at her, frightened. He clutched his plush rabbit to his chest.

"You too…?" after saying those two words Eliot's mother fell to the ground.

"Mama? Mama…! Mama!" Eliot cried running to his mother's side.

After awaking Eliot's mother pleaded to him. "Please Eliot... don't be like your father... you are a boy, after all..."


I can't show anyone... the real me...

Eliot took off his helmet after beating, yet another, member of his school's Judo club. "Well done." greeted his Dutch friend as he walked by. Praises came from everyone in the room. This was the last match of the day. Eliot's opponent's friends helped him up. All the men made their way over to the locker to get into their regular school out of the locker room a, fairly small, group of girls swarmed Eliot.

"Um... Sempai*... We were wondering if... if you could accept this gift from us...!" a very petite girl with short blond hair said thrusting a small pakage towards him. Eliot hadn't been paying anything much attention, and this he paid even less attention to, but his eyes were suddenly glued to the scene of a girl arguing with a few boys. The girl was easily recognised as new student Gillian Beilschmidt, and the boy she was arguing with was none other than Sadiq Adnan.

"Just leave him alone!" Gillian yelled at Sadiq. He was obviously amused by the prospect of her standing up to him like that. "You've got this all wrong, miss. That guy behind you-" Sadiq pointed at the very frightened Vargas boy "-said he wants us to take his homework" Sadiq smirked.

"You're lying! He's scared to death! He obviously doesn't want you to bother him!" Gillian replied, getting angrier every second that Sadiq didn't leave. "Heh. Too bad..." Sadiq said signaling one of his lackies. The boy closest to Gillian immediately lunged forward and grabbed her arm. "You should've stayed outta this little girl." Sadiq said. Eliot, seeing that the girl was in danger, hit the boy who had grabbed Gillian's arm with his bokken.

"I'm sorry. I must've hit you on accident." Eliot said glaring at Sadiq. They didn't like each other already and the current situation wasn't helping either of them. One of the lackies behind Sadiq seemed to instantly get nervous. The other just went to check on their fallen comrade. After the fallen young man was slung onto one of their shoulders, Sadiq turned around and left.

"I'm sorry about that, are you hurt?" Eliot said to the girl whose life he had just saved. "I'm fine... but, I'm so awesome I could've saved myself you know, ...but, thanks anyways"Gillian said, a light blush crossing her cheeks.

A camera clicked somewhere close by but all eyes were on Eliot and Gillian so the flash went unnoticed. The boy who had taken the picture smiled to see that the picture came out perfectly...


A/N:So, um, yeah. I was reading manga(big surprise there) and I came across one named Otomen and the first thing I thought of when I saw the character who I have yet to introduce was 'Japan. That is just so Japan.' and then this thing hit me. So instead of doing homework, I'm doing this. Stupid plot bunnies...(if you don't know what plot bunnies are then you should read the Spamano fic 'The Bet' by Lumoa) I heard somewhere that Gillian was Prussia's human name(for when he's a girl) and Eliot was Hungary's human name(for when she's a boy. Or when she thought she was a boy.). And Hungary's 'Dutch friend' is the Netherlands. He might never appear again. And the blond girl can be anyone you, the reader, want it to be. Anyone at all.
