Luxembourg sighed. She had held an important conversation with her sister concerning her relationship with Spain the previous day. It didn't go as expected, but she did get some positive results out of it. The younger nation didn't approve of Spain, much like her older brother, Netherlands. However, she thought England would make a suitable mate for her sister, if not the best she could find out there.

When she asked her if she harbored any feelings for him, Belgium answered that they had always been friends, and he was always in a special place. She had mentioned that he was always there for her and supported her in her actions completely. Now, Luxembourg had to get England to admit the same.

She asked for him to join her for breakfast and waited in one of her garden tables with pastries and hot chocolate. The autumn breeze was calm, but she was so uneasy and a bit frustrated. She thought she was doing her sister a favor by pairing her up with the Englishman. After all, he was a growing power, wonderful country, an excellent fighter, and a gentleman. They didn't need riches; they had plenty of that because their economies were growing and going strong. However, England looked right for Belgium in Luxembourg's eyes.

"Good morning, dear sir," she greeted in her best English.

He bowed and kissed her hand when he reached her. "Good morning to you, too, miss," he said.

She was still very child-like and young, the embodiment of a fourteen year old, but she tried looking as mature as she could for their meeting. She wanted to be taken seriously. However, he thought she was very extroverted for her age, and for asking for a breakfast date when her brother could easily kill him.

"To what do I owe such a lovely breakfast?" he asked.

"I just wanted to discuss a few important matters with you, is all," she said as she held a plate of pastries for him.

They made small talk and spoke about world issues, surprising England of how knowledgeable she was. She even praised him for defeating Spain's armada and claiming the title of Ruler of the Seven Seas. He blushed a little at that and thanked her as he took a sip of his chocolate.

"I've been meaning to ask something that is rather dear to me, Mr. England," she said with a serious tone. As serious as a teenager could sound, that is. To him, she sounded as bubbly as her sister, and a little sweeter, too.

"Well, you don't need to be so formal about it," he began with a smile. "But carry on."

"It's about my sister."

England looked at her with attentive eyes. "Is Belgium well?"

"She is fabulous, but that is not what concerns me. It's about the Spaniard that holds her hand when they walk," Luxembourg elaborated.

England raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Alright? What about that?"

"I believe he is not fit to be my sister's suitor. Rather, I wish for someone of higher standing be worthy of holding her hand," she said.

England nodded as he began to understand what she said. "Well, then, who did you have in mind, dear?"

"You."

England was about to take another sip of his chocolate, but decided against it and sat his cup down. He looked at her with impressed green eyes.

"Why would you think I am best suited for her, dear?" He had to smile at this, though. It was far from ridiculous. It was just a little humorous he would be taken into consideration by a Low Country.

"Because of your history, obviously."

"But sweetheart, hasn't it occurred to you that you, your siblings, and I share the same history? Remember, you still live in your big brother's home," England said, trying to maker her see some flaw in her logic. However, she was very stubborn.

"Would it help if I said you look like a better lover than Spain?"

England blushed again and cleared his throat. "A young girl like yourself should not be thinking such thoughts."

"You may say it is unlady-like, but I say I am only looking out for my older sister and want for her to have the best things in life."

"This is a very selfless act you're doing, dear."

"I love her so much, so I would not like to see her suffer. And I predict that Spaniard will give her hardships in the future."

"What makes you think I won't?"

She placed her hand on his. "Your growing power won't allow you to do so."

"So, you're only looking at my power?"

Luxembourg gasped. "Oh, no! I see far past that point! Unlike Spain, you have more self-control. And, you know how biased I am of him."

"But you hold positive opinions about me?"

"Yes, sir."

"But why?"

"As you said, my siblings and I share our history with you. You have been our ally for ages, despite a few squabbles you have had with my brother, and you have not let us down."

"So, you are asking me to charm your sister?"

"Well, I would never force you to do anything you didn't want to do," Luxembourg answered. "Which brings me to my next question. Deep in your heart, do you hold feelings for Belgium?"

It took all of England's strength not to show his true emotions. Nobody had ever asked him that. Obviously, he had thought of this subject multiple times in his lifetime, but he never thought he'd have to answer to a young girl like Luxembourg.

"If I told you no, what would you do?"

She shrugged. "Then, I'd say it is your loss since my sister is one hell of a lady."

"Lumxembourg! You are far too young for such words!" England said as he blushed.

He knew she was one hell of a lady, though. She always showed she needed to be respected, which is why England never went past hugging her or kissing her hand. Out of respect. For a lady.

"And if I said yes?"

"Then, I'd say you have my permission to seize the opportunity to do what you want with her."

"Luxembourg, but you're not in charge of her actions. I don't even think Netherlands has any right to give anyone the right to come and take his sister."

"You're comparing me to a man. I am a young lady, England. And I know what is good for my sister. Now, take advantage of the chance. I don't give this right to just any country. Nobody is fit except for you."

England sighed. It was worth a try, right? "And how would you suggest I come about this with her?"

"Mr. Austria is holding a grand ball next week, but I am sure you have certainly heard about it," Luxembourg began.

"Yes. He handed out the invitations early this week. Did you receive one?"

"Yes. And even if I hadn't, my brother and sister would not have left me behind while they went to the party," Luxembourg said.

"Of course. The little one cannot stay home alone," England observed.

"I suggest you make your move then. I don't care if Spain is watching. I want for you to do something to charm my sister."

"Luxembourg," England said as he rubbed his face with his hands, "you're asking me to break them up, from the looks of it."

"Oh, you do not have to worry about their separation at all! Their relationship is rocky at the moment, and I anticipate they break up soon. His presence brings my unrest for hours whenever he is around," Luxembourg explained. "And you are wondering how I know this. Don't you dare tell my sister, or else she will kill me! She tells me, but I want for you to have the upper hand advantage."

England held his cup of chocolate in his hands. Nobody had ever done this for him. He had never hoped for anyone to do this, either. She was giving the go on a silver platter and he didn't know whether to take or reject it. He would be taking orders from a child, but he really did like Belgium. Although, he always thought she didn't go for the power, but rather how she was treated. However, he didn't see why she should say no to him. He had always been courteous, chivalrous, and kind to her. And when she visited him, she did complain a bit about Spain and his behavior.

So…why not?

"Alright," he said as he smiled. "Do you have an escort?"

She shook her head. "Unfortunately."

"Would you like for me to pick you up so we can go next week?"

"Remember, you will be courting my sister, England, not me. So be aware that if you will do that, you will leave me without an escort for the entire night."

England nodded. "How about…I take you to the ball, not as an escort, but as a friend, and we make our night from there?"

"How about you introduce me to Mr. Prussia's younger brother, and then, we make our night from there?"

She was so cunning. The match-maker had spoken and proposed a plan he could not refuse.

"I accept," he said as they both took their final sip of chocolate.

"Excellent, Mr. England," she said with a cheerful tone. "Would you like some more pastries?"

A/N 2: Okay, this is pure head canon. I did research some, which is why my head canon came out like this. I just love the idea of England and Belgium, and before I found out Luxembourg was a boy (sad!), I thought she would be as bubbly as her sister, and a lot more cunning with plans and such. I hope you all enjoyed! R/R, please; support is love!
