Following my plan to give more love to this pairing (it's my OTP), I've decided to do all the theme sets in the 1sentence challenge at livejournal. I'll post them all together under the same title, because I don't see the point is separating each set when they're all about the same thing: sentences about Prussia and Liechtenstein. This is the theme set Beta, the previous one was the theme set Alpha.

Reviews are always appreciated.

Warnings: un-betaed, English is not my first language (if you see a mistake, please point it out and I'll correct it).

Disclaimer: I don't own "Axis Powers: Hetalia", "Good Omens", "Daytripper" or "The Little Prince", but I don't care, I'm just happy they exist.


Unicorns would be less surprising

#01 – Walking

He runs, he marches, he sprints, sometimes he even walks, so he knows the difference, and he knows that he didn't walk with Liechtenstein, that was definitely a stroll, but saying that he strolled with Liechtenstein sounds too girly, so he settles for "I went for a walk with her" when somebody asks what he did the other day.

#02 – Waltz

"One-two-three, one-two-three, put-your-hand-on-my-shoulder-two-three, one-two-three, keep-the-pace, one-two-three, how-come-you've-never-waltzed-before?", he says, keeping the rhythm as they practice in the empty room, acting as if he didn't know that she's just pretending she can't dance.

#03 – Wishes

When he finally dared to ask her out (her brother was out of the room at the moment, now he owed Spain a big favor), the only thing on his mind was "say yes" (and he was so focused on those words that he didn't immediately understand her answer).

#04 – Wonder

For the umpteenth time, Prussia tried to understand how it was possible that it had taken so many years for Liechtenstein to look like an adult, while that Molossia jerk had grown up in a couple of months.

#05 – Worry

West doesn't understand why his brother knows so much about world economy, as if it wasn't obvious that Prussia cares about anything that might threaten his girlfriend's health.

#06 – Whimsy

They don't know why they started doing it, but each time they see a mime, they scream and run away laughing.

#07 - Waste/Wasteland

The world ended on a Saturday, as they were getting ready for dinner, and the only thing they could do was hold each other tight and pretend they weren't feeling how their bones and flesh became dust as the world transformed into a wasteland.

#08 - Whiskey and rum

The bliss of being completely drunk, of not worrying about the hangover that will come tomorrow; the relaxed happiness of having a weird conversation about elephants and dragons with the not-as-drunk person that served you your first drink; the calmness of falling asleep at the table, with your head resting on your arms, and leaving your companion to worry about how he'll get you home without letting your brother know that you went to a bar and barely remember how to speak properly – that's what Prussia thinks about as he tries no sneak a sleeping (and snoring) Liechtenstein into Switzerland's house.

#09 – War

When the war ended, she found him in his bedroom, looking exhausted and afraid, so she climbed up next to him, held him, and kept him safe from the nightmares as he slept.

#10 – Weddings

"All of us, we only get together for weddings and funerals", she thought the first time they paid attention to each other, at a little "private" wedding (as private as an event with more than 200 guests, all of them anthropomorphic representations of different places, can be) many years ago; and she has the same thought as she bids him farewell and ignores the condolences.

#11 – Birthday

Sure, France is a pervert and not the best friend in the world, but he always makes sure that Prussia has a decent cake to bring on Liechtenstein's birthday.

#12 – Blessing

Prussia talked to Switzerland when he started dating Liechtenstein, and he knew everything would be alright when the man stopped drumming his fingers against the barrel of his gun.

#13 – Bias

He's absolutely convinced that they're the most awesome couple in the world, and she smiles when she hears that and mentally agrees with him.

#14 – Burning

He honestly hopes that Hell isn't about brimstone and fire, because he's had enough of burning considering how he feels whenever Liechtenstein touches him.

#15 – Breathing

She listens, expectant, and, finally, she hears it – breathe in, breathe out; he's alive.

#16 – Breaking

She is a country, so the changes in the world affect her, but everytime she breaks, he's there to help her compose herself again.

#17 – Belief

"Japan taught me how to make paper cranes, just 999 more and we get a wish."

#18 – Balloon

On their first date, she bought him a balloon, and he carried it around the whole day looking happy.

#19 – Balcony

He thought about impressing her old-style, you know, get a ladder, climb to the balcony and quote "Romeo and Juliet", but then he noticed how high her window was and took the time to read the play (which got him to the conclusion that Romeo was an idiot), so instead he decided to stick to the classics and went to buy some flowers.

#20 – Bane

The has to be a way to make sure that France keeps his clothes on when he's around Liechtenstein, right?

#21 – Quiet

She likes that, around him, she can talk about anything that comes to her mind; he likes that, around her, he can stay silent for a while.

#22 – Quirks

She'd never imagined that Prussia baked when he couldn't sleep.

#23 – Question

"Seriously, Liechtenstein, why him?"

#24 – Quarrel

There's a game they play during the meetings: bet who'll start the first fight.

#25 – Quitting

Actually, they did have something in common: both were currently fighting their internet addiction (having each other as a distraction helped a lot).

#26 – Jump

Prussia puts some music and begins dancing along, and before she realizes it he has grabbed her hands and she's dancing and jumping along with him.

#27 – Jester

Sure, he's an internet troll, but she'd be great at it too (she's given him some pretty good ideas lately).

#28 – Jousting

"I think we learned a lesson today: trying to recreate a medieval sport to get a girl's admiration is not a good idea" said France as he looked at the beaten up Prussia lying on his couch.

#29 – Jewel

He got her a bracelet on their first anniversary, a simple thing that she could wear without attracting unwanted attention.

#30 – Just

He tries, he always tries, to be his best around her, because she loves him even when he's not.

#31 – Smirk

People don't notice, but he has at least 5 different types of smirks (the first one she learnt to recognize was the proud one he had whenever he explained that they were dating).

#32 – Sorrow

Her life would be easier if his request hadn't been "please, don't forget me".

#33 – Stupidity

She'll never forgive herself for giving in to the impulse of kissing him (he'll never forgive himself for giving in to the impulse of kissing her back).

#34 – Serenade

It would have turned out much better if it weren't for Switzerland's "stay out of my yard" policy.

#35 – Sarcasm

She's not too good at it, but she's learning (or, at least, he hopes she is).

#36 – Sordid

When they're alone, she always knows what to do (and the best part is knowing that nobody suspects that such a sweet girl could be capable of that kind of behaviour).

#37 – Soliloquy

"I'm sorry; I miss you; I love you", thought the nation, wondering when those words would be spoken to the only person who had to hear them.

#38 – Sojourn

It took a few years, but now Prussia is allowed to stay at Switzerland's sometimes (as long as he stays far away from Liechtenstein at night, something easily done when you know that her brother is keeping watch in the hallway).

#39 – Share

The first time Switzerland's vigilance failed at night, Prussia sneaked into Liechtenstein's bedroom and they shared the bed (he left early in the morning, through the window, to avoid misunderstandings).

#40 – Solitary

She noticed him, and suddenly he didn't feel so alone.

#41 – Nowhere

That's what he is, nowadays, but she makes him feel like he's the world.

#42 – Neutral

They closed the door and covered the window with a blanket; then they laid on the floor and stayed in silence, pretending for a few hours that there wasn't a war outside.

#43 – Nuance

"She was the most beautiful creature on Earth – her hair said so in that language only hair can speak", read Prussia in a comic book, and when he looked at Liechtenstein he understood perfectly what that sentence meant.

#44 – Near

The nice thing about globalization is that, no matter where he is, Liechtenstein is just a phone call away.

#45 – Natural

The others might be surprised, but, for them, being together just felt right.

#46 – Horizon

"Were you so sad then, on the day of the forty-four sunsets?", she quoted quietly one afternoon, when she found him looking at the horizon with a sad smile on his face.

#47 – Valiant

He looked so alone that, despite her (definitely not good) opinion about him, she sent him a card for his birthday – she'd never been so insecure on her way to the post office.

#48 – Virtuous

"Weren't the Teutonic Knights supposed to protect their chastity?"

#49 – Victory

If she wins, she'll be smiling; if he wins, he gets a kiss: who cares about how it ends if he'll still get something out of it?

#50 - Defeat

She walks away and never looks back, and he knows that it'll be a long time before he gets another chance.


I made a few references in this theme set, so I'll explain them (kind of a disclaimer):
#07: I love "Good Omens" (by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett). According to it, the world was supposed to end on a Saturday, just before dinner. Now I feel guilty for making a reference to that book in such a depressing sentence.
#43: The quote is from the third issue of "Daytripper", by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá. I really liked that comic book.
#46: The quote is from "The Little Prince". The other day, a few friends started talking about how much they love the book, so this sentence is something like a gift for them.
