Canada/Vietnam

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me...

Vietnam had spent all her life living in the warm, humid tropics of her land and like many of her South-Asian siblings and other tropical countries, could not stand the cold. So it was to no surprise that winter when she entered the conference room dressed thicker than the other European countries. What she did next, however, certainly earned the attention of almost every single country in the vicinity.

Making a beeline for the European section of the table, she steered clear of the Asian section, mumbling a short greeting to Russia in the process, both feats unheard of in a very long time, possibly forever. By now, various countries were starting to take notice, China in particular, for how could they not. She was even taking a seat next to America of all things! The noises in the room started to silence one after another.

Sitting down, Vietnam ignored the flabbergasted allied nation and turned to face a supposingly empty chair next to her, murmuring a soft "Hello". Much to the countries amazement, a man looking eerily similar to America materialised on the chair, his mouth pulled into a shy smile. He returned her greeting, a yellow curl bouncing in the air.

What made the scene even more surreal was that the man started unraveling his scarf and with no indecision what-so-ever, placed it around the female nation's neck, the pads of his glove-hidden fingers lingering on her shoulders. China stood up, wok at the ready. Vietnam accepted the scarf with no comment, a slight flush on her cheeks. But whether from the weather or action, it was hard to tell. China was held back screaming, wok taken away.

Watching the commotion, Vietnam held back a sigh. China really had to stop being so overprotective over all the Asian countries all the time. It was starting to annoy her. Even though she had made it clear to the older nation that she was not his territory and would liked it if he minded his own business, he never seemed to listen, always butting his head into her problems.

"Ehh...maybe I shouldn't have done that..." The soft spoken voice beside her made her wearied mood slightly better.

"No, it was appreciated. Thank you Canada."

The nation blinked his violet eyes and smiled, albeit a little sheepishly. "You were looking cold. I thought it would help..."

It would seemed strange that two quiet countries from totally different backgrounds were able to become good friends but somehow, they made it work. It had been a stroke of luck that Canada was noticed by Vietnam. She had been looking for South Korea to demand her paddle back when she had bump into an stack of rapidly disappearing pancakes floating about. Closer inspection saw a blonde wavy-haired male snacking on said pancakes. After establishing their new tentative friendship, the two had become fast friends.

Deciding that the meeting wouldn't be any use this time since it would most likely be delayed, Vietnam decided to forgo it. Standing up and unknowingly being noticed by everyone again, she tilted her head towards Canada, signaling her leave. He stood up as well, before extending an invitation if she would like some hot chocolate.

Agreeing, the both of them promptly left, Canada's scarf still on Vietnam's neck. Needless to say, Hungary, France and Russia were amused. China just continued kicking.

Scarf


I don't know if you could tell, but I really like Vietnam as a character. She is a woman who takes no shit and needs no man! Anyway, I could see her being a friend of Canada's. The two of them may be soft-spoken and shy, but they are really loyal friends once they end up knowing each other. Hope you enjoyed this one too.

Excepted for all confirmed details, the rest of the countries personalities are interpreted by me.
