It was finally Christmas Day and all the nations lounged around the lounge again. It was actually evening time, but none of them opened any gifts; they all waited for the one and only Finland. At the moment, China was talking with his siblings, as usual, while England was with America and Canada.
"Merry Christmas, England!" America shouted, dress up as Santa Claus.
"Happy Christmas to you too, America." England replied. He couldn't help but grin at the Santa getup.
"Did you enjoy the past few days, England?" Canada asked in a hushed tone.
"Yes, it was rather entertaining." England answered, directing his smile towards Canada.
"I bet it was~" America grinned, elbowing the Brit with a sly grin.
"That's not what I meant, bloody git!" The Brit flushed.
"Hon hon hon~ Are you sure, mon ami?" France asked, popping up with the Bad Touch Trio. All three of them were wearing a headband with a mistletoe attached.
"What are you three wearing...?" England asked with a low tone, clearly not amused.
"Why, mistletoe, of course~" the French nation answered, getting closer to the other than the other would like.
"Sod off, bloody frog!" England yelled, swatting France away. "Bloody hell..."
"See! I knew it would be funny to wear these!" Prussia shouted with glee. "Let's go freak other people out! Kesesese~" With that, the three left, but not before France pulled out another pair. He place it on England's head when the Brit's back was to him, scurrying away a second later.
"What the– France!" But it was too late for England to do anything. America and Canada were already snickering.
"Well, maybe you should walk up to China now." America teased.
"Ha ha ha..." England laughed sarcastically. He removed the hairband and tossed it to a side table. It hit to the window before landing on the table.
"Hey, guys!" Denmark shouted. All eyes were now on him. "Guess who's back!" In came in Finland and Sweden, the taller nation helping the exhausted smaller nation in. Everyone started cheering and clapping at a another job well done.
"Hehe, thank you." Finland bashfully said. "And I also brought gifts for everyone else." The Finnish nation then pulled out a large red sack. One by one, he pulled out gifts and read aloud the name of the nation whom it belonged to.
"Here's one for Italy, Romano, Belgium, Prussia," he started, handing out the presents. "South Korea, Canada, America," Instantly, each of them started unwrapping them, all very pleased with their present. "Sealand, Japan, Norway," The list went on and on until the last gift was given.
The room erupted with overjoyed nations. Sealand was flying around a helicopter as Prussia set up tracks to his train. Spain loudly played his new acoustic guitar as Korea blasted his country's music with his new speakers. Romano was shooting nerf darts at Germany with his new nerf gun as Italy tried to stop him, holding up his new kitty paws that came with matching ears. Taiwan was putting on makeup on Liechtenstein with her new kit as the younger nation admired her new holiday ribbon. All in all, the room was booming with cacophony and craziness.
To escape all the noise, England left the room for a moment for the silence of the outdoors. The Brit took in a deep breath of the cold, crisp, fresh air, soon noticing he was not alone. Also standing outside leaning on the hotel wall was China, wearing his new, soft Hello Kitty hat that was also used as a scarf.
"Need to get away from all the excitement, too?" China turned to where the question was coming from, seeing England walking towards him.
"It was just too stuffy in there aru." China softly smiled as England stood next to him. The Brit snorted, agreeing with the older nation. Simultaneously, they sighed, their warm breaths noticeable. They shared a laugh.
"So, what did you receive from Finland this year aru?" China asked, turning back to England.
"Just a tea set with all sorts of lovely teas." the Brit answered with a cheerful smile. It really was a lovely gift. "And I can see that Finland gave you that hat." China nodded with a cute giggle, snuggling into the soft fur.
"It's a lovely night, isn't it aru?" China asked, looking up at the sky. England looked up as well, only seeing clouds. He then looked all around. There was no one else around, probably at home celebrating Christmas with their family. It was defiantly quiet and peaceful.
"Yes. Quite lovely." he answered. "We should probably be heading back inside or else the others will wonder where we are." England said, turning to the window that was next to them and looking inside. He smiled contently as he observed the cheerful nations from the outside, all overjoyed, until something caught his eye and his smile faded.
"Is something the matter aru?" China asked, noticing the absence of England's smile. He then looked towards were the Brit was looking, seeing a headband with some sort of garnish attached to it on a table. "What's that?"
England's head shot towards China with a shocked and slightly flushed look. "I-it's a mistletoe." he answered, but China only gave him a confused head tilt as if telling him to explain. "Traditionally, when a couple stands under a mistletoe– n-not that we're a couple or anything!– they're supposed to k-kiss. B-but that's not a problem as we aren't technically under it a-and, as I said a moment ago, aren't really a c-couple or anything!"
As England went on and on as if making excuses, China noticed all his stuttering and extremely flushed face. The Chinese nation smiled softly, cheeks heating up as well.
"England." China said. The Brit stopped talking immediately.
China took a step back, out of view from the window and pulled England towards him by his arm. Unexpectedly to the Brit, China stood tall and kissed him on the lips. As soon as their lips had touched, China pulled away from the chaste kiss.
"We really should probably be getting inside aru." China said as if nothing had happened, looking back up at the sky. It had started snowing. When the Chinese nation started heading back towards the door, England went after him, stopping the older nation by grabbing his arm.
"China." Said nation turned back around, cheeks slightly pink. England step forward and cupped the other's cheek. Slowly, he leaned forward and embraced China into another kiss. England's arms wrapped around China's waist as China's arms wrapped around England's neck.
When they pulled away, the two nations stared back into each other's eyes, smiling softly with pink cheeks. But, everything changed when they saw a bright flash of light.
Instantly, they turned to see that they were right in front of the window and saw Japan standing there with his camera.
"Japan!" England yelled, both nations banging on the window.
"Get rid of the photo this instant aru!" China added.
Instead of doing what they had said, Japan had turned around. All he heard was muffles from the tea loving nations. "Woah, this new camera flash accessary is most wonderful, Finland-San." Japan said to Finland. "Arigatou gozaimasu!"
"Japan!" China shouted again, now running towards the door. England followed after, but not before taking another quick glance at the item on the table. Not quite under the mistletoe, but I suppose it'll still do... England thought to himself with a chuckle. This trip really was worth the last minute, annoying call.
