Chapter 2 - Arthur
It was the first day since Niina was introduced to the rest of the world. She had big plans for today, normally, she didn't have any plans at all, just cooking for the family and cleaning the home, however, today she had her whole day planned.
At 10am, she was meeting Feliks and Toris at the cinema to watch a new horror movie which just came out, at 12pm, she was joining Berwald and Tino for lunch, at 3pm she was going sight-seeing at Heracles' country, at 6pm, she was joining Francis for dinner, even though Arthur warned her it was a bad idea, and finally at 8pm, she was staying the night at the English Residence.
Niina became very good friends with Arthur.
She woke up at 7:30am that morning. She got changed into a dark blue mini dress and white high heels. She prepared omelettes and bacon for her brothers for breakfast and left them a to-do list.
10:30am - clean Buke's bowls, give her fresh water and cat food. Also I left breakfast on the table, heat it up if needed.
11:30am- strip the beds and do the washing, move the wet clothes out side to dry.
1:00pm - fold the dry clothes and put them in the correct places.
2:00pm - I left some wurst and potatoes in the fridge to heat up in the microwave for 4 minutes.
4:00pm - feed buke again and take out the bed sheets and put them to dry outside.
5:00pm - I left some sushi in the fridge for dinner.
6:00pm - wash the dishes and put the bed covers back on the beds.
7:00pm - feed buke again.
Tomorrow morning, heat up the left over omelettes and bacon. I will be back around 12pm.
Niina got her hand bag and left the house at 9:30, She walked to the cinema near Feliks' house as it was not far away. She arrived on time and saw Feliks and Toris standing at the ticket booth, Toris noticed Niina and waved at her, both of the guys were wearing white shirts and ties with black suit trousers and black shoes. She walked over to the boys to greet them.
'Like, hey, Nii,' Feliks said.
'Hey, Niina, we're glad you agreed to meet with us,' smiled Toris.
'Well, you guys seemed nice so I thought I might,' Niina smiled back.
Toris blushed and apologised for not getting any flowers, Niina laughed and told him it was fine. Then Feliks started talking about how he painted his house pink, Niina liked the two friends a lot.
Finally, they purchased tickets and Toris offered to buy Niina popcorn. She agreed so Toris bought her it. The movie started 10 minutes late but they didn't mind, it gave them more time to learn more about each other.
The movie was really scary and Toris ended up having to comfort Niina a lot whilst Feliks laughed at the movie saying it was 'like, totally not that scary'.
When the movie finally finished, Niina said farewell to the two boys and said she really enjoyed spending her time with them, because that is honestly how she felt. Tino and Berwald were waiting outside the cinema in Berwald's car.
'Hi, Nina!' Finland shouted, cheerfully as always.
'Hey!' Nina called back, she sat in the back seat of Berwald's car and he started to drive.
'We're going to the pub,' Berwald said in his deep Swedish accent which Niina loved.
'Ja, we heard you liked beer so we thought we might as well take you to have some,' Tino explained.
Niina smiled, she was probably the most talked about person by all the countries. Half way through their conversation, her phone rang. She excused herself and picked up her cellphone.
'Ja?' she asked.
'Hello, it's Arthur, I was just checking to see if you are alright,' explained Arthur.
'Oh, of course, I'm fine,' replied Niina.
'So i will see you at 8 'o' clock tonight?' He asked.
'Ja, I will see you then,' she replied and hang up.
By the time she hang up, they had arrived at the pub, The time was 12:50pm. The three of them got out of the car and entered the bar. Tino ordered 3 beers and the three of them sat down at a table meant for 4. When Niina was half way through finish her beer, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes sat down on the spare seat beside her.
'Denmark!' exclaimed Tino.
'You guys having beer without me? How rude!' laughed Denmark.
'Actually, we were just spending some time with Niina,' Tino explained.
'Who? Oh this girl here? Hi! I'm Denmark, Are you a new country?' Denmark asked.
'No, I'm not really a country. It's nice to meet you, I'm Germany's and Prussia's younger sister,' Niina replied.
'I didn't know Germany had a little sister!' Denmark said, Surprised.
'None of us did until yesterday!' Tino told Denmark.
Denmark order two large Beers and drank them both really quickly, Niina was surprised how good he was at drinking. She ended up bonding with him and the four of them had lots of fun, even though Berwald only said a couple of sentences.
Time flew by and it was time for Niina to go to Heracles' country. She admired Greek Mythology. Denmark offered to drive her but Tino said it'd be best if Berwald drove since Denmark had a bit too much to drink. Niina arrived at the Greek Mythology museum exactly on time. Heracles was waiting outside, he looked like a really calm person.
At the museum, Heracles taught Niina a lot about Greece and it's Gods. She was surprised about how much she didn't know. They finished walking around the museum half an hour early so they went to sit on a hill in the country side and play with all of Heracles cats. He had a lot of cats, he seemed to love them as much as Niina.
'We are a lot alike,' He said.
Niina smiled, 'Ja, we are. I think we well get along really well,'
'I wish you were my sister, you're really cute,' Heracles told her.
'I wish you were my brother,' she laughed.
'Hey, what was it like not being in touch with the outside world?' He asked.
'It was... I actually never thought about it, I loved looking after my brothers, I thought I had everything I needed to be happy, that is until I met all you guys and realised how much I was missing out on,' Niina explained.
'Oh... that's sad,'
'Yeah, I guess it is, I'm glad I met you thought,'
'I'm glad I met you too,'
They continued to talk until Niina realised she needs to be going to meet Francis. Heracles dropped her off to the French Restaurant in which Francis made reservations. Niina hugged Heralces goodbye and walked inside, the waiter showed her to their table which Francis was already sitting at.
When Francis noticed Niina had arrived, he got up and kissed her on each cheek like the French do.
'Bonjour, mon dame,' Francis said after he finished.
'Hello, sorry if I kept you waiting,' She blushed.
'Non, Non, Non, I was early,' He smiled.
Francis pulled out her chair and Niina sat on it and he tucked it back in.
'Merci,' she thanked him.
'Ah, you know some french, oui?' He smiled.
'Oui, I picked it up when I was little some how,' Niina replied.
A waiter came in to take their orders. Niina had no idea why Ludwig had told her Francis was a pervert and why Arthur didn't want her to meet up with him, Francis seemed like a very kind person.
After they finished their starters and ordered their main course, Francis rubbed his leg on Niina's.
'Mon Cher, you are indeed very beautiful, you know,' he said, ' would you perhaps like to spend the night, if you know what I mean ohnohnohonhonohnoh,'
'Erm...' Niina stared to get Nervous.
Luckily, Arthur turned out to be sitting a few tables away and over heard Francis. He came up behind Francis and hit him about 5 times across the heard.
'STOP BEING SUCH A PERV, YOU WANKER,' Arthur shouted at Francis.
'Ow, Ow, Ow! Stop it you Black Sheep of Europe,' Francis screamed.
'Fuck off, you frog! I'll fucking beat you up if you perv on again, twat!' Arthur replied.
Arthur took Niina's hand.
'Come on, let's go, France is a twat unworthy of your presence!'
'Non! Come back! FUCK YOU ENGLAND!' France shouted.
Niina now understood what Ludwig meant by 'Francis is a pervert'. Niina was so glad Arthur was nearby to save her from that perv.
It was 7pm when they arrived at the English residence. Arthur made tea for both of them and they sat down in the living room.
'Thank you,' Niina blushed.
'It's fine, I wasn't stalking you by the way, I just knew France would do that so I came just in case, to protect you,' Arthur explained, 'You must be hungry, you didn't get to eat Dinner because of that frog, would you like me to cook something?'
'If you could, that would be wunderbar!' Niina smiled.
After finishing his tea, Arthur stood up and go out some cooking ingredients.
'I'm making some Shepard's pie if that's okay with you?' He asked.
'I'm vegetarian, sorry,' Niina replied.
'Oh, I'm sorry! I'll make some vegetarian stew then,' he said.
'Thank you, that is wunderbar!' she smiled.
However, she noticed he was doing it wrong and adding the wrong amounts of flavouring. She got up from her chair and walked over to him.
'Arthur, you're not doing it right, do you want me to show you how to do it?' Niina asked.
'O-oh... Yes please...' Arthur blushed.
Niina taught Arthur the importance of measuring favourings and how to be a good cook. After half an hour the stew was finished. They sat and down at the dining room table and ate it.
'Oh my! This is wonderful!' Arthur exclaimed.
'See, I knew you could do it,' Niina smiled.
Niina's phone started ringing.
'Sorry, I have to take this, it's Gilbert,' she excused herself.
'it's fine,' Arthur replied.
'Ja?' She answered the phone.
'Guten tag, sister, I'm calling to check up on you,' Gilbert replied.
'Everything is gut, did you do everything on the to-do list?' she asked.
'Ja, Ja, Ja, we did everything, we didn't realise how much you did for us until now!' He explained.
'Ha ha ha, well you guys have fun, Gute Nacht Gilbert! And say Gute Nacht to Ludwig as well,' replied Niina.
'Gute Nacht, take care of yourself,' Gilbert hang up.
Niina was really happy, this was one of the best days she ever had. The very best was probably when she was 14 and Gilbert and Ludwig took her to a fair, she treasured that memory, it made the three of them closer.
'It's getting quite late, do you want to sleep with me or do you want to be in the guest room?' Arthur blushed as he asked the question.
'Well, since we are quite close I don't mind sharing with you if that alright?' Niina asked.
'O-oh! Yes! Of course it's fine with me!' He was shocked she agreed to sleep in the same bed as him, 'If you didn't bring a night gown, i left a white nightdress on the bed for you'
Niina smiled, 'I'll call you up when I'm done dressing,'
She went upstairs and went to Arthur's bedroom, he told her it was the first door on the right. His bedroom was massive, She saw the white dress on the corner of his bed, it was a mini dress with black lace at the bottom, it was sleeveless. and had black lace around the collar as well, it didn't show much cleavage which was good. She put the dress on and it seemed to fit her perfectly.
'I'm done!' She called.
Arthur entered the bedroom, he was wearing union jack boxers and a black vest, much like Ludwig's. When Arthur saw her, he blushed, she looked beautiful in the dress. Niina reached into her handbag and got out a hair brush and white ribbion and tied her long chocolate brown hair into a high ponytail.
'You look... beautiful...' Arthur held Niina in an embrace.
'Thank you,' She blushed.
They kissed. Niina was so happy, she didn't want to admit it but she started to have feelings for Arthur when they first met. She knew Ludwig and Gilbert wouldn't approve of this.
'I think... I'm inlove with you...' Arthur said, still embracing her.
'I think I might be too...' She replied.
After embracing the went into the bed.
'Gute Nacht, Arthur,' Niina said.
'Goodnight,' He replied.
