Canada walked into the kitchen one day to find a list of famous Canadian inventions on the island. Everything from Insulin and Banting, to Grahm Bell and the telephone. He narrowed his eyes as he pulled out leftover bacon from the fridge. He didn't remember making a list, and besides, the handwriting was as horrendous as that of a certain Prussian.
But his thoughts were interrupted when he heard sobs coming from the basement. He walked down the stairs to find an inconsolable Prussia cocooned in a blanket, eating ice cream, and watching something on TV. Canada rounded the banister to see what it was; it was a documentary about Terry Fox.
Canada came and sat down next to his love, prying away a bit of the blanket until he was snuggled in the cocoon as well.
"Why did he have to die?" Prussia asked between sobs. "He was awesome! And that's something coming from the awesome me."
"I've often wondered if the story had more impact because it was tragic," Canada replied. "I met him once, not long before he died. He was a wonderful kid."
"Do they remember him?" Prussia asked, turning to face his Birdie.
"Um… They made a documentary about his life…" Canada replied.
"Nein," Prussia choked out, shaking his tear streaked head. He sniffled. "Do they really remember him? They have documentaries about Prussia too, but no one remembers Prussia."
"Ah, that's what's really bothering you," Canada said, smiling softly. "But yes, a lot of us do remember him. You have to learn about him in school, and there's a day where we celebrate what he did. You can do walks and raise money just like he did. And other people have finished his journey in his honour too."
"Really?" Prussia asked, his sobs stopping as he wiped his eyes.
Canada's eyes were gentle as he gave his Prussian a chaste kiss. "Really really. Those who do incredible things are rarely forgotten."
Prussia paused, his eyes closed, but smiling. He opened them to look him Canadian over.
"What?" Canada asked.
"Did I ever tell you how much I fucking love you?" Prussia asked, his smile as wide as his eyes.
"Oui, je t'aime aussi," Canada replied.
"Ich liebe dich."
