Prompt: Greece/Japan- Forgotten
It wasn't like he had been expecting him for going on three hours now. A light rain had started and dinner had gone cold and Japan found he couldn't bring himself to care much about either at the moment.
During the first hour, he'd told himself that something had come up. A travel delay or something simple like that. The second hour brought concerns of something more serious, or an important job that had come up last minute; surely he could call soon.
But now, as the third hour was ticking past without a phone call or anything, Japan was resigning himself to being forgotten. And he'd pulled out the best kotatsu too...
Dimming the lantern on his porch, he stepped back inside, closing the screen door behind himself. He looked to the kotastu, the cold food on top of it, and his puffy white kitten curled up on a pillow. It was going to be a painfully lonely night.
With a weary sigh Japan gave one last lingering look towards the door and started when at that very moment a knock on the frame resounded throughout the house. A familiar voice called out loudly. "Japan!"
Forgetting himself completely, Japan raced through the house and threw open the screen door; his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath.
There stood Greece, positively soaked and disheveled, on his doorstep.
"I'm sorry," he panted. Obviously, he had run to get there as well. "I overslept. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm so sorry, Japan. I... "
His words were cut off as Japan closed the distance between them, his arms wrapping around his waist and his head pressing against his damp chest.
"You didn't forget," he mumbled; a small smile on his lips.
Greece ran a tentative hand through Japan's hair, then after a moment, he pressed a chaste kiss to his forehead.
"I'd never forget you Japan."
