There was only one word that could describe what had transpired in the last couple months. Utter chaos. The whole fiasco had made enemies of what were formerly considered neutral countries, and made even alliances question whose side anybody was even on. Even Canada had managed to get swept up into all the drama, despite him trying to stay neutral about the whole situation.
But having to deal with the chaos from afar was one thing. Seeing it unfold at the world meeting was another thing entirely. It was even more flamboyant and expressive than usual, and that was saying something.
China and America were constantly yelling at each other, while Russia was sitting unnervingly close to America. Britain and France were fighting with each other, as usual. Japan was also arguing with China, but for different reasons than why America was yelling at him. Korea was in his own little world, likely freaking out about how furious his sister had been at America since the events of the past months had transpired.
Canada took a deep breath. The world seemed to be losing it right now. He glanced out the window absentmindedly, wondering if there was anything important he needed to be doing now. It would be impossible to get a word in at the moment, things were too fired up for him to even try to speak. Kumajirou looked up at Canada from where the small polar bear was positioned on his lap.
"Who are you?" Kumajirou asked.
"I'm Canada…." he sighed again. He heard fighting intensify, and looked up. Everyone had thrown themselves into a fight. Germany was making an attempt to stop it, by shouting at everyone, but it wasn't working. Italy was cowering behind Germany, waving a white flag desperately, trying to avoid getting hit by anything.
After a while of nonstop arguing, Germany was finally able to split the warring nations apart, and everyone left, grumbling to each other. Canada walked half heartedly behind America, who was ranting about who knows what now. Canada had sort of stopped listening to whatever his brother said, as he was going through another one of his phases. He could constantly hear him arguing with himself. This internal conflict wasn't good for him, but everyone else was too worried to do anything about it.
With Canada lost in thought, he didn't notice the figure walking up behind him, patting him on the shoulder. Spooked, he quickly turned around, only to find Prussia, smiling at him.
"Vhat's wrong, Canada. You like live you've seen a ghost," the albino smirked, wrapping an arm around his neck in a sort of hug.
Canada smiled a bit, "Uh, sorry, Prussia. I've just been so tense lately. Lost in my own thoughts."
Prussia glanced over at the world conference meeting. "Ah, I see. I bet most of that stress is coming from your brother, isn't it?" he questioned.
This made Canada pause, "I guess you could say that. It's just… he's so thick headed sometimes," Canada exclaimed with an exasperated sigh, "and he keeps complaining about headaches, but he knows damn well that's his own fault."
Prussia scoffed, "Of course! I even saw a tweet once that one of his own citizens vanted him to be taken back by England. Can you believe it? I'm sure he would not be happy about that."
"America isn't happy about any of this, but he doesn't have a whole lot of a choice what his people do," Canada explained.
Canada heard Prussia scoff again, then he seemed to get an idea, as he suddenly perked up. "Hey, Canada! I have an idea! Vhy don't you come hang out with me? You've been so stressed lately, you could veally use something to take your mind off of it!" he suggested.
This was a bit of a stretch for Canada, as he raised an eyebrow at Prussia, "Um… are you sure that's a good idea?" he asked. It was understandable for Prussia to take it easy and relax, since his country didn't technically exist anymore, but Canada still had a country he needed to watch over. Not to mention with all the trouble America was making more him, his boss wanted him there now more than ever. So if he were to be delayed….
Before Canada could continue thinking negative thoughts, Prussia patting his shoulder, "Oh, don't vorry about it! It's just a vittle break. They'll hardly know you're gone!" he said jubilantly, earning a tired look from Canada.
For a moment, Canada thought about the offer. He had a lot of work he needed to do when he got home, as well as a diplomatic talk that he wasn't looking forward to, especially considering the talk was with Mexico. But on the other hand… Prussia likely wouldn't stop bothering him until he agreed.
Finally, the northern nation let out a sigh. Prussia smiled in victory as he watched Canada tightly hug the small polar bear to his chest.
"Alright, Prussia," he said finally, "Where do you want to go?"
Clearly happy he had convinced him, Prussia chuckled, "Kesesese! I knew you vould. And don't look so gloomy about it, where I'm taking you, you're sure to have a good time!" he explained, taking Canada by the hand with a cheerful whistle.
Canada looked up at Prussia, confused, "Um, Prussia, where exactly are you taking me?" he questioned.
Prussia merely flashed a smile, "It's a surprise! I'm sure you'll love it, zough," he stated.
Though he wasn't entirely sure of that, Canada thought to himself, though he didn't voice this. At least, it provide a little bit of happiness, being able to walk and hang out with one of his friends. The two walked side by side, Prussia going on about all the crazy things that had happened lately, and trying to make a ditch effort to cheer Canada up in the process.
I'm not entirely sure where this story came from. PruCan isn't even my main Canada pairing. I much prefer RusCan. This just kind of came out of nowhere. Oh well. I do like both Canada and Prussia as characters, though, so we'll see where this leads us. :)
I will try to update this at least every other week, since I do have one other story I'm working on. This was just a little test. If you like it, I'll continue. If you don't, then meh. :P Hope this was enjoyable!
