It was a pledged promise back in the day where they agreed that they were in no way Chinese and could at least make their own rules where they could have each other.

"I love you" had meant so much then yet so little at the same time compared to now.

Hong Kong held her close to himself in the still awakening dawn.

Mei was his to hold, and the ring on her finger stated that regardless of whatever anyone else said.

China had told them a million times that they were siblings, and siblings never did anything like this.

Leon considered the ambiguity of nations as enough to denouce so called "incestousness."

Mei only cared about genuine love and stated that nothing should matter in argument to that and that love could exist this way despite blood relations and age.

Taiwan slowly awakened as her fingers tightened and twined further with Leon's hand.

"I love you." Hong Kong smirked at his beautiful lover.

"I love you too." She smiled and claimed a kiss from him.

Each kiss and moment together meant more to them than any words or phrases that they knew of to describe what they had.

I love you was the closest phrase that they knew of despite it's ambiguity seemingly matched that of nation's ambiguity or the ambiguity of the human race.

Deep meanings hid small inside small words and phrases that only seemed to grow and get deeper in time.
