The pace we walk in: Netherlands side
"America is heading towards here. He's a young country; you don't know what he'll do"
"I see…I have started to realise the movements in Europe…"
"So you noticed"
"Yes…and I know I can't stay still forever"
"Then open-"
Fwump.
"Japan!"
The Netherlands couldn't help but give a small smirk. Who would have thought the nation who didn't want to get out from his futon would become such a big, modern nation?
The blond nation stole a glance at the Asian beside him.
'He walks so fast now.'
Between Germany and the Netherlands, Japan was actually keeping up. Though a step for the European nations was three for the Asian. He remembered how Japan would always shout for him to wait, that he couldn't walk as fast as him.
'When did he start walking so fast?'
"I can't stay here forever. I know that"
"Then why don't you come out? Stop staying here, it's gloomy"
"I know that…I know that…but…"
When he realised, it had already been 200 years. Really, when you are a nation, time goes past so quickly.
And time doesn't let nations go.
Humans die. After years of being caught in time, they are finally released and are set free.
But not for nations. Even after they disappear, nations keep on living. Prussia is a good example for that.
"It's fine…with only you…"
The Netherlands looked at Japan again.
Really, why does he walk so fast now?
Now, he can't wait for him and watch him run to him.
He couldn't help but feel slightly sad.
A/N It's nearly Japan's country opening anniversary. When Japan finally opened his country from 200 years of Hikikomori.
There will be a Japan side too, so I hope you stay around!
