"Uh, oh, sorry. It's just, well." I begin stuttering my sudden realization that all this time I've been my complete self around the people I care about. A small grin formed on my lips, but I kept my gaze to the ground.

While my head was to the ground I couldn't notice a certain American getting closer to me, "Ya know, you're kinda weird dudette… But you're kinda cute too." With that, he ruffled my hair and winked at me.

Of course, me being me, I froze up

D-Did he just wink at me? WOAH WOAH WOAH DID HE JUST CALL ME CUTE!?

My eyes didn't move, the stayed straight, and blank, as if I just died and my corpse was left in the room. My spirit was no longer in my body, oh no, it was far, far away.

"Uh, dudette?" Alfred spoke once more, waving his hand on front of my glossy, lifeless eyes.

Of course my conscious is still there, thus how you're reading this, but my soul, oh my soul was in a better place.
I truly feel dead inside.

Never once, NEVER ONCE, has a boy ever winked at me, EVER. Well if you count all the otome games then yeah, but in real life, psh a boy doesn't even take a second glance at me. Plus, he called me cute, CUTE DAMMIT, HOW THE HELL DOES HE THINK MY SPAZZY WEIRDO SELF IS CUTE. My mind is going in so many circles right now, not to mention the blush that's probably as red as a tomato!

I had a crowd around me now, different voices could be heard but I couldn't quite tell what they were saying. My whole mind has just sort of shut down, all I can think about was that moment.

"Cute" I say in a very low voice.

"Hm?" Many nations say in unison.

"You just, you just called me cute?" I say a bit louder. Furrowed expressions and confused eyes were all around until I spoke up again. "I'M NOT CUTE!" My voice came off shaky and unstable. "I'm weird and I'm spazzy, and sometimes I snort when I laugh. I'm not the definition of cute." I say spastically.

"Well, to me, all those things are cute." He said with an obnoxious grin.

I was hit again with that smile, his radiating beauty blinding my very soul.

My blush will probably give me a fever considering how hot it is right now.

I'm suddenly torn from my mind and fangirlingness when I hear a familiar ringtone.
"Nee Nee PAPA WAIN wo choudai Nee Nee MAMA Nee Nee MAMA Mukashi ni tabeta BORONEEZE no Ano aji ga wasurerarenain da-"

Marukaitte Chikyuu began playing and I quickly rushed to my phone to turn it off. I checked the caller to see it was my mother,Oh no. I look up to the all the nations faces, staring at me questionably and curious.

"S-should I take it? It's my mom." They all exchanged glances, and nodded at me, agreeing for me to pick up the phone. I nod as well and click the green "receive call" button.

"H-Hello?" I said in a low, squeaky voice.

"(NAME!) Are you okay? Do you know where you are? How are you? ARE YOU OKAY?" My mom began spastically yelling. I felt something in my body ache, and my eyes become blurry, but I shook it off and replied to her. "Woah woah woah, calm down ma, I'm fine. I can't exactly tell you where I am, but I'm fine okay?" I replied in a calm manner.

"(NAME)!?, (Na)-" Suddenly the call was cut short and my body no longer felt heavy and my eyesight returned to normal.

I wonder what that was about. Why did I feel weird?

I shrugged it off, and looked back at my phone, thinking about calling my mom back. I looked at the signal bars and there were literally none, making me wonder how I could talk to my mom in the first place.

"What happened?" Japan asked curiously.

"The call got cut, I guess its cause I have no bars." I say pointing to the phone's bars. "It's okay, I pretty sure she got my message. And even if she didn't I can get back to her later." I flash him a smile and a thumbs up. He smiles back and nods his head understandingly, giving off an "Oh okay."

"So," My eyes dart back to the floor, curious unto what to say to my favorite people in the world, ha that's funny get it, cause they ARE the world ha. I'm sorry I'm not sorry

The awkward tension rises again but is rudely interrupted by my stomach groaning for the need of food. I blush hardly and cover my stomach, remembering I hadn't eaten lunch all day. Italy giggles and rushes to my side, his curl bouncing with his movement. "It seems you're-a hungry bella." He latched his arm onto mine and began pulling me away from the crowd. "Let's go make some pasta then, si?" An adorable grin laced his lips and I couldn't help but smile back, nodding in the process.

We rushed out of the "Fifty shades of pink" room and into a long hall. There were many doors and each door had a flag to it, my best guess is that they all live here, or they gather here for the world meetings. We make it down the hallway and go down a serious of steps, I made sure to not trip on any, cause if I did I would take Italy down with me. After the stairs we took a left and walked into a kitchen.

FINALLY, anymore walking and steps and I'll have a heart attack. .EXERCISE.

Italy unlatches from my arm and begins searching in cabinets. I shift awkwardly and look around the kitchen, it was awfully big and had a lot of space and countertops. It kind of looked like the ones in those cooking shows you see on TV. My legs began to tremble in exhaustion and I quickly held on to a surface, making a loud thumping noise as well. Italy quickly gets his nose out of the cupboards to check on me, dashing to my side. "Are you-a okay?" He said whilst grabbing ahold of my shoulder softly.

His soft amber eyes showing signs of worry and fear. I quickly regained my composure and pushed myself off the surface. "Yeah! I'm fine, I just tripped over my feet. I'm a bit clumsy." I chuckle lightly, and grin widely.

The orbs quickly changed to those of relief and happiness, and he returned to normal. I looked for a chair to sit down in but found none, so I jumped up on the counter I was resting on and let my legs dangle off the side. Italy didn't mind and just smiled, going back to the cupboards to continue his search.

Feeling a bit awkward once more I cleared my throat and spoke up. "So, Feli- I can call you Feli right? You guys have human names here right?"

He closed the cabinet and put everything he had on the counter in front of him, then replied to me with a grin and nod. "Yeah, we do-a."

"Oh cool. So do you guys use your human names more or your country names?" He continued to move around the kitchen and keep up with my conversation.

What a multitasker!

"Well-a, we usually use-a our country names to be-a more formal, and we usually-a use it at the word meetings, but when just-a hanging out as friends we use our human names!"

My eyes wander off of him and to the ground, I see a speck of black moving and well, just see what happens okay?

"Ah, that's inter- A FREAKING SPIDER!" I squeaked, pointing to the moving black speck.

Feli squealed almost as loud as I did and we both ran into each other's arms screaming "DOITSU!" at the same time.

There were loud stomps heard from upstairs and before I knew it nations filled the kitchen, some out of breath.

"What's wrong?!" Said a perfectly normal (like seriously how did he run down here so quickly and not be out of breath?) yet somewhat worried, Ludwig.

Feli pointed towards the spider and I could sense Ludwig roll his eyes. He sighed in annoyance and walked towards the insect.

"KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!" I yelled, hating the bug with every fiber of my being.

.Bugs.

Ludwig groans, grabs a handkerchief from his pocket, and picks up the bug with said handkerchief. I squeal some more, and squirm in Feli's grasp, clutching tighter onto him.

Luddy (I'm calling him that now fight me) walked away to what I'm guessing a window and came back. "There, it's gone now." Feli and I let go of each other and turned back to normal, me sighing in content. "Thank you."

"Dude, you're afraid of spiders?"

Really Alfred? Says the person afraid of snakes.

I blush and pout, "Yeah, so?" My eyes darting to the side. Alfred walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and chuckled. "Cute."
