Japan's birthday is 2-11-11

Japan woke up tied to a chair. "Eh?" He squeaked. Korea giggled.

"Sorry, love, but Aniki said to make sure you didn't come into the kitchen!" Korea explained. Japan blinked.

"Eh...why?" He asked. Korea laughed loudly.

"That's easy to figure out! He's-!"

"HIYA!" Korea was smashed over the head with a wok. Korea went cross-eyed and then fell over, unconscious. China nodded, satisfied with his work, and left. He came back and shoved a wonton into Japan's mouth, and then left again.

Struggling to swallow the wonton, Japan wondered to himself if China had finally become like...like Russia. Japan almost fainted at the thought.

Then Russia himself snuck into the room. "Shh. Yao-Yao will kill me," He whispered, starting to untie Japan.

"Russia~!" Russia stood up straight and whipped around to face his Chinese lover. "Step away from the prisoner, aru!" China glared. Russia gave Japan an apologetic look and slinked out the room. China laughed evilly and skipped away.

"Has everyone gone crazy?" Japan cried.

Japan looked up as Taiwan entered the room. "No, Yao, he's fine!" She called to China.

"Mei-niichan, you have to help me!" Japan whispered. Hong Kong poked his head into the room.

"Why?" Taiwan giggled. "Kiku-oniisan, don't worry!"

"Mei-Mei, I'm tied to a-" Japan started.

"I'm here!" he heard N-kun announce.

"Eh?" Japan squirmed around in his chair. Taiwan ran into the room.

"Its ready!" Taiwan smiled, untying the Japanese man. Japan frowned, stepping over Korea's body into the living room.

China held up a cake. He smiled brightly. "I tried very hard, aru!" China smiled hopefully, gesturing to Japan's favorite chair. Japan jabbed his fork into the cake and took a bite. He noticed China wringing his hands and finally figured it out.

The Chinese and Japanese relationship wasn't the best right now. China was hoping to make things right with this cake. That made Japan kind of angry.

"It tastes weird," He huffed. China's face fell.

"O-oh, aru. I-I apologize," China took the cake and returned to the kitchen. N-kun watched him go.

"That was rude, Kiku," N-kun finally scolded. Japan huffed. "Kiku, don't be a jerk!"

"If N-kun says you're being a jerk, you must be a really big jerk!" Hong Kong added.

"Hey!"

"He's trying to boost our relationship using cake," Japan pouted. Taiwan smacked Japan upside the head.

"You dumbass! Its your birthday!" Taiwan shouted. Japan blinked.

"My-my birthday?" Japan frowned. "Uh-oh..."

Japan poked his head into the kitchen, where China was sulking in the corner. "Ah, Yao-oniisan, I'm sorry," Japan sighed, sitting down next to his older brother.

"Don't be, aru. If the cake was bad-"

"Yao-oniisan!" Japan facepalmed, "the cake was fine. I was being rude because I thought you were trying to boost our relationship using cake..." Japan chuckled nervously.

China was silent. "What are you, dumb, aru?" He finally cried. Japan smiled and hugged the older man.

"Domo arigatou, Yao-oniisan!" Japan thanked. China chuckled, hugging back.

"Don't mention it, Kiku, aru."

N-kun opened up the door to his apartment, setting down his stuff. "Marko?" He called. Bulgaria ran into the room, glomping the North Korean.

"How was today?" Bulgaria asked, giving a quick peck to N-kun's cheek. N-kun shrugged.

"Kiku forgot today was his birthday," N-kun explained.

"Ah." N-kun plopped down on the couch with Bulgaria in his lap. "Sang Ki, are you happy?" Bulgaria asked. N-kun smiled softly.

"Very happy. Marko, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me," He explained. Bulgaria blushed.

"I'm sure that's not true..." N-kun shrugged, kissing his lover softly and cuddling him. "I love you."

"I love you too," N-kun smiled.
