Francis really does not mind it.

After all, he is the nation of amour so he can probably get away with his behavior more than any other nation and he does. He boasts it loudly and proudly and relishes in the stares of admiration, the stares of lust, even the stares of envy and hate, because he knows that means he is doing something right.

It doesn't bother him when his ass is grabbed, and not for the first time, at a world meeting. He simply chuckles, winks at the offender, and tells him, "Later."

(Truly, he has said so many "later"s over the years; he's sure he doesn't need to actively seek out anyone anymore. He tried to explain to England, "But Angleterre, they all come to me," but the other didn't believe it.)

More conservative nations would be, and probably are, offended by his acts. But he laughs like champagne bubbles at the thought because he knows they wish they could get a piece and they have no clue how that makes him feel.

Francis once heard that it is better to be feared than loved. Well, he thinks it is better to be looked down upon than forgotten.

(He thinks of poor Mathieu, always mistaken for his brother, and wonders if it would have been wise to teach the boy his ways when he was younger, or if that would have just soiled him.)

Francis knows he is more than just the nation of amour, but his military strength, among other things, has been ridiculed and, why not fit into a stereotype that people think should fit you like a glove? He is known for being the best at the things that give you pleasure, and truly, there isn't anything wrong with that.

He is best at wine. He is best at food. He is best at sex.

But he is known to be best at something and that's all that matters to him.

So he is happy when he has that nation's cock in his mouth later that evening. He is happy when pictures of him surface of one of those "later"s and he finds a bible in his seat. He is happy to be slapped after he gropes another nation's chest.

The sting only lasts for a second, but he knows they will always know who he is.
