Mochi Over Pocky
Chapter One: East and West
"Run your fat ass! RUN!" The short blonde girl yelled to the taller blonde that was falling behind.
"Alex! (NJ)... Wait! I'm out...of air!" The panting country gasped, practically falling on the ground. The state stopped and walked back to look at her friend.
"Alfred (America)... We're here already." She said grabbing his hand and tugging on it.
The large school building loomed over them. It was their school: The World Academy. Every country from the east to the west and chosen districts/states were required to attend to gain knowledge of the world, and identify themselves as countries/states/districts. At the front entrance, there was a short, slender man with his back towards America and New Jersey.
"Good Morning, Kiku." New Jersey said to the Japanese man. The Land of the Rising Sun looked over his shoulder before turning his whole body around to smile at the American state. "Ohayoo Gozaimasu, Alex." His face lit up as he bowed slightly to one of his best friends.
"Did you see the new episode of No. 6?" Japan asked, opening the door for New Jersey.
"Yup! Awesome as always! I want to see what happens to Nezumi and Sion!"
"I've heard the correctional factory is a very complex place to get out of. I hope Sion finds Safu and escapes safely."
Japan closed the door, accidentally leaving America outside with a blank expression. America stood there, astonished with only one though passing through his head, They left me hanging! As the hero he is, he did not tolerate this "violation" and rushed in after the two otakus. "Hey! Wait!" He said catching up with them. "Jersey!" The school bell rang loud and clear in the hallways, cutting off America's sentence.
"Oh. Class is starting." She said sadly. "Well, see you at lunch, Kiku. You too America." Japan looked at her with a bewildered facial expression. "But we have first period together, along with America-San." He smiled innocently once more. America was somewhat relieved, he could watch his state a little longer. As the morning proceeded, NJ and Japan were talking about what they usually talk about. Culture, Anime, and recent happenings. It was like no matter how much distance they had from each other, they would find ways to still talk to each other whether it be passing notes or signs. America didn't find it annoying, but for some reason it was provoking him silently, like someone telling him to go vegetarian because he was "fat".

In the cafeteria, Japan, NJ, and America all sat together at the table. America walked back with a tray in his hands. He had the usual, his HERO-sized hamburger and NJ's pepperoni pretzel. "Hey Jersey! Here's your pretzel." America said blissfully handing it to her.
New Jersey looked at the oily, fat, red spotted pretzel with a slightly dissatisfied face. Japan was just about to hand her the lunch box he prepared (which he promised to give).
"'Aww shit... I completely forgot about that..." She started to think. "Umm..maybe we can share the it?" She suggested.
Japan replied, "That sounds like a great idea, but the box is very big and I made a lot of food... The salt would go to waste." He started to get depressed due to the amount of salt that would be wasted.
"I'll eat the box, Kiku! I'll save the pretzel for dance club later!" She grabbed the cherry blossom printed box. Japan's eyes sparkled with gratitude while he held New Jersey's hands within his own. "Thank you Alex!" New Jersey smiled at her friend once more before opening the lunch box. There were so many various pieces Japanese food. Picked radish and other vegetables, lots of rice, some shrimp tempura, and of course, Japan's favorite, salted salmon.
New Jersey loved Japan's cooking, except for all the salt he uses. It's visual preparation proved that Japan did take his time with it. The aromas excited her and the food looked just so damned good. America just watched New Jersey drool over Japan's food. I wonder why when I cook, she doesn't drool that much over my food compared to Japan's... What's so great about it anyways? It's just regular food, only with lots a salt. Besides, my food is WAY better because I'm the HERO! America let out a hearty laugh before sitting down to eat his burger. He looked over at them, watching them eat and laugh. They were sitting so close to each other and smiling so much. Japan was probably the reason why New Jersey wanted to come to school early anyways.
America couldn't help but feel left out. Of course Japan was his friend, too, but he couldn't help but feel that way. NJ picked up a piece of the salted salmon and brought it closer to her mouth. Just then, the piece had slipped out and dropped back into the box. Japan, being the polite Asian country he is, picked up the crystal-coated fish with his chopsticks and fed it to her. She bit on it, also having the tip of his chopsticks in her mouth. America saw this while eating the hamburger. He thought, A...An Indirect Kiss! He was about to protest until he started to choke on a piece of his burger. He pounded his chest while coughing, trying to cough it out.
"America!" NJ ran over to America and started to perform CPR. "Breathe fat ass! Breathe!" Japan helped at well. America finally coughed up the piece of the burger that he had choked on. He gagged a bit and wiped the saliva that had fallen on his chin. "Ugh. Thank you." He laughed nervously and had enough energy to at least give a weak smile. "Damn America, watch what you're eating, you almost scared the shit out of me!" NJ said catching her breath. Japan nodded with agreement. America had his head down, trying to avoid them seeing his embarrassed face. Throughout that whole lunch period, he was sulking and somewhat disappointed in himself not being able to save himself from his own hamburger.
NOTES
Okay, I know this might sound confusing, but New Jersey/Alex Way is NOT America's daughter. The way I created her was that she is England's daughter. This is my first time writing fan fiction... I really don't know if this format is right...sorry if it is wrong... There will be 2 more chapters after this one. So yeah. I hope you enjoyed it! I do not own anything of Hetalia or No. 6. This is America x OC (NJ). More Hetalia characters will also be included in next chapters!
