I don't own Hetalia! End/AN/
The leader of China had been and long would be a dragon. They passed on from generation to generation.
In the first generation, Chang Jianyu was the dragon that came to the first uniter of Chinese people.
Chang Jianyu was wise, and he knew for sure that they made something right when China showed up.
He was a tiny one, long hair partially done back in a bun. He sucked on his fingers, not paying much attention to the most beautiful place in China, the place where the leader lived. It had gold, it had jade, and it had beautiful pottery, but none of this caught the tot's attention.
The woman who had been his caretaker gently pushed him forwards toward Chang Jianyu, head bowed in respect.
China tried to drag his feet, unsurely letting out a muffled protest through his fingers.
He looked upon the dragon, and promptly started to cry.
Chang Jianyu knew he had to meet China where he was at, so he came forward slowly. "It's all right, Zhongguo," he said, "I am not to be feared."
China came forward slowly as well, now sucking furiously on his thumb. His robes swished as he walked, or rather, toddled, towards Chang Jianyu.
When they met in the middle, Chang Jianyu stuck out a claw and started to settle it on China's head.
That brought a new cascade of tears, as China stayed still but sniffled pitifully.
"It's all right, little one, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you," the dragon said, gently brushing China's hair off his shoulders.
China started to calm, just sucking on his thumb instead of crying.
"That's right," the dragon said, and he coiled slowly around China, wrapping like he would a young dragon. "You and I are going to be close from now on."
Apparently, China had changed his mind about Chang Jianyu, because he had stopped sucking his thumb, and said, "Yes. Cause you're my mama."
The whole room seemed to gasp at this, but the dragon just chuckled. "That's one way to look at it." He nuzzled China's head, making the tot giggle.
Everyone else calmed down.
China had no idea that someday, he would be overthrowing Chang Jianyu for a new ruler...
/AN/ I just realized I've never seen a little China fic, so I tried my hand at a teensy weensy drabble. May try to write more on him if I get the chance. Plus, go look for little China pics; they are adorable!
