England walked down the street quietly; she had been asked by her close friend Kaori Honda "Japan" to meet up for tea. Considering her history she could hardly say no; she loved a good brew.

"I do hope I'm not late; But I'm not familiar with this place" She thought worriedly. She wished she had brought a map to help her get around; it would have saved so much time.

England was visiting Japan's home for the 2nd time but was not very good at finding her way around. Her first stay had not been very long and she had only stayed at her friend's house during that time.

Suddenly her phone began ringing loudly to which she answered it quickly "Um yes hello" she said nervously. God she knew it; Japan was going to be mad for being so late. She closed her eyes waiting to be scolded.

"England are you ok? You didn't get lost did you?" Japan asked worriedly. She would have been happy to meet England had she just asked.

"No; No I'm fine. I'm on my way now" England reassured her friend anxiously. She would never live it down if she showed her habit of running late. It was a curse she had lived with since her birth; it annoyed her so much.

Japan gave a concerned mumble down the phone; she worried that England often acted like she knew what she was doing. It wasn't a bad sign to know when you were wrong or made a mistake.

Suddenly England tripped over scraping her knee and dropping her phone. Her glasses tumbled off her face and she landed on the ground with a thump. For a minute everything went quiet and her body ached.

"Ouch" she squeaked quietly and got up slowly. Her knee stung as she got up; it wasn't badly hurt but had a rather nasty graze. Her uniform was dusty but it would be clean after a patting down.

Suddenly she realized her glasses were gone and she panicked; she wasn't exactly blind but she wasn't far sighted so she needed them. She internally cursed as she frantically felt around for her glasses. Today was just not her day; it seemed even the gods were against her plans and she cursed them internally.

"Here you go" a kind voice said.

She looked up to see a figure holding her glasses; England took them gingerly and placed them on her face. When she saw who it was she just about died of embarrassment "J...Japan!" she cried out loudly.

Japan knelt beside her worriedly and examined her knee "Are you ok? I told you it was no bother coming to meet you" she scolded worriedly. If she had just stayed put this wouldn't have happened.

England smiled awkwardly "I'm fine really; it just a scrape. I'll survive a small tumble like this" she reassured her. She would never admit that it stung like hell; but she was a tough cookie and she would never show her pain. Hell she had suffered worse than this in the past and she was no pussy.

Japan sighed worriedly "Well it needs to be cleaned or it will get infected; come with me" she said firmly. She could tell when someone was lying and while Britain was sneaky sometimes; she was bad at lying.

A short time later

Japan and England sat at a small sink at the side of the road. You could cool off, clean your face or get a drink from it. For now they were using it for first aid purposes. It was quite a handy little road stop.

"I...I'm sorry to put your through this trouble" Britain stammered nervously. She had made herself look like such a bloody fool. God why did she have to be so clumsy now of all days?

"It's no trouble; this is what friend's do" Japan said solemnly. Her dark hair fell upon her face as she leaned forward. Secretly she found Britain's clumsiness rather adorable; the fact that she tried to hide it was even cuter.

Britain blushed intensely her cheeks practically glowing; though they had only been friends a short time she couldn't help but be flustered by Japan's lack of boundaries. The again their cultures were quite different so their interpretations of certain situations were quite different in Japan's point of view.

While she was more reserved and polite; Japan was more solemn, polite and honest. It often worried her though how naive Japan could be about some situations. This made Britain worry that someone could trick her and thus she would get into danger (people like France).

Japan caressed her leg gently as she dabbed the wet cloth over the injury; it was still a little red but it was all clean now. She sighed a breath of relief and placed the cloth at the side of the sink.

"Keep still" she said firmly and rummaged in her pocket. She pulled out her handkerchief and a bunny plaster. She always kept them on her in case of emergencies; it was good common knowledge after all.

Britain panicked as Japan pulled her leg towards her slightly and dried it off; she then placed the band aid over her knee. After she was done Britain sighed a breath of relief. She was just glad it was over; if she had done anything else she would have suffered a nosebleed.

"T...Thank you" Britain said shyly; usually when she was hurt she dealt with it herself. She had never really had to bother about help in such situations before. But that rock had come out of nowhere and thus the accident had happened.

Japan got to her feet slowly and smiled "It's quite alright; I'm glad I could help you" she said kindly. Her brown eyes were filled with kindness and warmth practically radiating good Ki.

Britain blushed and looked away shyly; Japan was so cute she could barely look her in the eyes sometimes. It was shocking how much of an effect the dark haired girl had on her; it sometimes scared her.

She got to her feet slowly taking her time; her knee still stung a little but felt a bit better. She bowed quickly to show respect "Thank you Japan; I really owe you one" she said gratefully.

Japan smiled "Do not trouble yourself Britain; I'm glad I came to meet you. If not I worry about how sore it would have been to find me" she said sweetly. She would do anything to help someone in need; it was part of her nature after all.

Japan's kindness and polite nature often stunned Britain; she had never met such a good natured person before. While her tactical abilities and battle strategies were to be feared she was truly a good human. She carried both Yin and Yang within her and showed either personality depending on the situation; basically whether it was good or bad.

Britain smiled gently clutching her bag "Shall we go for tea?" she suggested kindly. She just wanted to hurry up and forget this whole incident; it was bad enough she ad been late and now she had made a fool out of herself.

Japan smiled warmly "Yes; I'm sure we could both do with a drink after this little adventure" she chuckled in amusement.

At tea shop

Britain and Japan sat opposite each other at a little booth. They had ordered two Green tea's and some strawberry Mochi. Sweets and tea tasted so good after a long walk; it left you feeling refreshed and energetic.

Britain sat quietly with her head bowed and her knee's clutched to her lap; she couldn't get over the embarrassment she had been through earlier. She would never live this down and hoped America didn't hear about it.

"Britain are you still troubled about earlier?" Japan said worriedly her tone hinting concern. She knew Britain got embarrassed easily but it wasn't a big deal; accidents happened to everyone.

Britain flinched; Japan knew what she was thinking before she even said it. She had good intuition and it was hard to hide anything from her. It was one of her many great assets and made her a more deadly foe.

Japan sighed heavily and leaned her chin on her right hand quietly; she stared at the nerdy young girl quietly. Her dark eyes roamed over the blonde taking in her every measurement and detail.

Though she would never say it out loud; Japan had become quite interested in Britain. Her intelligence and nerdy appearance were quite alluring to her. She found intelligence most attractive in a woman and Britain practically exuded it.

Britain blushed intensely under Japan's stare; did she have dirt in her hair? I mean she couldn't right? She rinsed off her head just in case so it was clean? Did she have a scrape on her face too?

"Um...Japan..." she stammered nervously her head still facing her knees. She couldn't look her in the face out of embarrassment and her beauty. It was no wonder France flirted with her so often; then again France flirted with everyone.

"Yes?" Japan said curiously her brown eyes filled with interest.

England bit her lip "W...Why are you staring at me?" she asked awkwardly. If her uniform was see through right now she would just die of embarrassment; her day would be ruined and she would never be able to show her face again.

Japan blinked then smiled fondly; god Britain was so naive to her good looks. It made her all the cuter. It really was true that people who didn't know how good looking they were; were actually the most attractive.

She reached forward and tapped Britain's nose playfully "It's because Britain is so cute" she teased fondly.
