Day 15
The doorbell rang and America reluctantly went to answer it. Before he saw the person at the door, he bowed and greeted them with "你好 . . ." Then he looked up and flushed.
England was standing at the door, his cheeks red at seeing America in a maid outfit. China came up, saying "家具, what are you-" Then he, too, saw who was at the door. He smirked and said, "Come in, England-aru."
England hesitantly stepped in, saying "So the letter was real?"
"You got my letter?" burst out America. China told him to be quiet, and while America grumpily stood there, China affirmed that the letter was indeed real.
Flashback
"家具, what are you doing-aru!?"
America whirled around guiltily as his letter dropped into the box at the post office. "Um . . ."
"Did you write a letter-aru?"
"Maybe . . ."
"Tell me what was in that letter-aru!"
". . . I just . . . told England what I have to do here…"
"I never said you could write a letter, 家具. As punishment, for the next week, you have to wear a maid outfit-aru."
"But-!"
"No buts-aru."
"Iggy, did you come to save me?" begged America. England looked at him and smirked.
"No, I did not. I came to see if you really did have to work for China. And I see that you really do, and I am quite enjoying this spectacle."
"Iggyyyy!" whined America, but China smiled.
"England, would you like to stay here for the rest of the day-aru?" he said slyly. America's jaw dropped as he realized what China was up to.
"All right, that would be fine with me," replied England, taking off his shoes.
"Good. 家具, do whatever England tells you to do for the day-aru."
America gritted his teeth and said "Yes, 伟大的王," with as much contempt as possible.
"Don't think I won't take advantage of this, America," said England. "Make me some tea!"
America stalked off to the kitchen. England turned and asked China what America had to call him. China answered, and England smirked.
"Thank you for letting me stay here, China," England said as he stepped back into his shoes. America stood behind China, glaring daggers at England.
"No problem England-aru," said China. "家具, say good-bye."
"Bye, old man."
"In Mandarin!"
". . . 再見."England raised an eyebrow and smirked one more time before closing the door behind him.
