Title: Shopping
Characters/Pairings: England, mentions of America, Canada, France, Japan and the commonwealth
Well, damn. He was late with his Christmas shopping and now he was stuck running around the mall, desperately searching for perfect gifts for those on his shopping list.
Francis, the git, had been easy to shop for. A bottle of British wine would piss the frog off nicely.
Kiku had gotten some of Arthur's favorite teas, along with some new teacups.
The rest of Europe wasn't getting anything, the bastards, and most of the commonwealth had gotten one of his hand knitted sweaters, even though many of them lived in rather warm paces…
The two nations he was having trouble shopping for, though, proved to be the twins. He had congratulated himself of actually remembering Matthew this year before realizing that he had no idea what to get the young nation. He also had no idea what to get Alfred. It seemed like the hyperactive American didn't want anything that would be realistic. Giant robots were most definitely not realistic.
Passing by a toy store, he paused, seeing a set of toy soldiers. They didn't look like the ones he had once made but they were very well made. There were five; one for each branch of the US military and they were the perfect gift for Alfred.
He bought them quickly before trying to think of something to get Matthew. That's when he saw the bookstore. Going inside, he headed to the cookbooks section, hoping to find a book of recipes using maple. Finding none of just maple recipes, he settled for a dessert cookbook, remembering that Matthew had quite the sweet tooth. And actually had a talent for cooking…
Paying for the book, he smiled. He was done with his shopping!
That is, until he remembered he actually had siblings…
