Ah, another day, another update. Thank you to quitkid, AphHetaliaLover, and ItsMyIceCream428 for reviewing! And kudos to the 5 favorites and 8 follows!

Wait. FIVE favorites and EIGHT follows? ARE YOU ALL INSANE?

Nope. Pretty sure you are all sane. Anyway, here's the next pairing. You wouldn't believe how long I spent gathering information on how Canada could work with this guy..until I had a burst of inspiration from commercial I saw.

Thank Michelin tires, everyone.


Ship: Canada x Japan (ONE OF MY OTPs THANKS SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING)

Why: They have similar personalities, are pressured by America, love cute things, and because, honestly, they have even had contact in the anime AND manga. SO HA HA HA!

History: *groans* Okay, so, WWI and WII, a lot of Japanese immigrated to Canada in the late 1800's-early 1900's. They now have fantastic ties with each other, and their cultures are very similar. Seriously, if you look up their relations and go onto the official Canada website...

Warnings: Well, fan-service, the fluff ensues, and a weird America. Also, doing Japan's accent.

Edit: And an accidental sexual innuendo...I kept it there because HA HA HA. I tend to write weird stuff at night...


"Ah, herro, Canada-kun." Japan bowed when he noticed his friend's presence. Canada gave Japan a kind smile before performing a hasty bow.

"Hello, Japan. What brings you to the Great White North?" Matthew joked.

Japan avoided Canada's eyes. "I fert rike having a change in scenery wourd be nice. My home country can be quite hectic, as you know." He stated while he shifted closer to Canada.

Matthew didn't notice Kiku's subtle moves. Normally, Kiku wouldn't do things like this, but Matthew had 'special' permission. And by 'special', I mean Kiku had a full-on, hard-blown, crush on Canada, the cute, shy nation in the north.

The sunny blonde hair that framed his pale face perfectly, along with the gentle lilac eyes that made him even more unique. Canada had a tall, yet lean, stature that made a good amount of nations (that could remember him) very jealous.

Yet, Matthew and Kiku spoke to each other as they normally would.

A simple exchange of "How are you?" and "How are your country/friend/family feeling?".

But something seemed different, today. Like someone was watching them.

Japan discreetly texted Canada, since he had a weird feeling. Looking confused, the northern nation checked his red phone. His eyes widened in alarm.

'What do we do?' Canada quickly tapped the buttons and sent the message. In less than ten seconds, a reply came.

'Simple, we do not pay attention.'

'Then we can strike? :3'

'Sometimes I think you're more like America-san than you let on.'

'Let's keep that as a secret between you & me, k? ;)' Japan blushed at the last text, before willing it to go away. He glanced up at his close friend, and nodded his head toward the sidewalk.

The nations stepped out into the fresh autumn air. Leaves painted red, gold, and brown danced along the wind, swirling in intricate patterns and shapes. A gentle breeze brushed through black and blonde hair, smoothing the knots and tangles out carefully.

"I just remembered something." Canada broke the calm silence.

"What is it, Matthew-kun?" Japan asked in a steady tone.

The Canadian sighed,"The next G8 meeting is being held here. It's in three days, actually."

Japan let out a small gasp of surprise. "Rearry? Good thing I came earry* then." He smiled before following Matthew to the cabin that they were residing at.

'So, according to the bet America-san placed,' Kiku planned,'I have three days to confess my "love" for Matthew-kun, or America-san will do it for me...I certainly do not want that to happen.'

America tried his best to keep in his evil snickers as Japan looked very conflicted with himself. Canada was being surprisingly oblivious to his friend's anxiety.

Alfred set his binoculars down. 'Let the games begin, Kiku.'


Day One of Kiku's Conquest


Japan watched as Canada slid onto the ice with a gracefulness only a few people could master. Matthew turned an held out a steady hand to the nervous nation.

"I will not let you fall, I promise." Canada spoke with sincerity. Kiku nodded and placed one foot after another onto the rink.

Carefully guiding him, Matthew skated round the edge of the rink with the Asian nation in tow. Japan was beginning to enjoy himself, so he let out a cheerful laugh, to which Canada joined in.

Both of them swerved around the ice, adding turns, jumps, and just simply holding hands.

Kiku remembered relishing is the warmth of Matthew's gloved hands...but forgot to confess.


Day Two of Kiku's Conquest


In a small bustling cafe, sat a black-haired man. He sipped on the warm tea that his companion ordered.

Sitting down, a blonde-haired man sat across from Kiku.

Idle chatter was passed back and forth, as if they were buying time.

And they were.

Canada had earlier told the groggy Asian that at exactly ten o'clock every Thursday, a pair of Americans would explode fireworks into the pink sky.

Of course, Japan was not surprised. Alfred's people were really spontaneous.

By the time the fireworks had gone off, Japan had fallen asleep against Canada's clothed shoulder. Kiku nuzzled his head as close as possible, seeking warmth.

The whole time, Matthew had a light blush resting on his cheeks.


Day Three of Kiku's Conquest


'This is the final day!' Japan worriedly thought as Canada led him onto a Ferris Wheel. A new carnival had opened up during their stay, so they chose to spend their last non-busy day here. Let's just say they both instantly hopped into Mattie's car and drove there as quickly as possible.

Japan tentatively smiled as they sat on the worn seat cushions. The gate protecting them from falling out slammed shut with a loud creak. Rust was covering a good amount of the ride.

"Matthew-kun, I thought this was a new carnivar?*", Kiku asked politely. Matthew sheepishly chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

"The p-park used to be c-closed, but they f-fixed up most of the r-rides..so..."

Japan patted Matthew's hand that resting in-between them. "It's arright. As rong as it does not break harfway* through." He joked.

Soon, the wheel creaked upwards. At the top, you could see a beautiful view. There was an expansive lake, along with a group of pine and spruce trees in the distance.

Kiku sighed and faced his friend. "M-matthew-kun...I need t-to terr you something."

Matthew, who was really worried, listened. "What's wrong?" He said.

'Alright, now just tell him! You can do it...no, I can't!'

"I rearry need to use the restroom!" Silence filled the ride.

Canada was trying not to laugh. "O-oh, okay. We'll be at the bottom of the ride soon."

In the evening, Kiku laid in his bed, restless.

'I messed up, again! Now I have to do it...at the meeting..oh no.'


Time Skip of Anxiety! *Poor Kiku* :(


Everyone walked into the meeting room and sat down in their chairs.

Japan was supposed to sit next to Russia, but Canada switched their seats so he wouldn't have to be terrified every living moment.

Kumajirou, since he was special, kept asking for food.

"Food. Food. Food. Food. Food." He kept chanting. Canada looked like he was about to throw the polar bear out the window. Kiku placed his hand on the tense shoulder.

"Carm down, Canada-kun. He wirr stop asking soon."


One Hour Later


"Food. Food. Food. Food. Food."

Canada and Japan quietly groaned in unison. Kiku reluctantly gave some of his mango slices to the annoying bear. Munching happily, Kumajirou let out a snort of pleasure before falling asleep.

"Werr, that was easy." Japan sighed.

Matthew apologized for his companion's antics, to which Japan brushed it off as payback for the past few days.

Suddenly, the wooden doors burst open.

"YO KEEKS, DIDJA CONFESS?" America bounced in with an excited smile.

"N-no, America-san, I did not."

America did his famous hero laugh, then smirked. "Well, you have 5 seconds."

One. Japan turned to face Canada.

Two. Canada had a worried smile on face.

Three. Japan reached up and placed both of his hands on the surprised nation's cheeks.

Four. They both leaned in slowly, Canada finally catching on.

Five. Their lips met in a soft, yet passionate kiss.

America groaned as he handed twenty dollars to China, who was chuckling.

In the end, America ended having even more debt, China took Holland's place as bet placer, and France turned into a woman.

Oh yeah, and Japan and Canada became a couple. Let's just say, after the meeting, all of the countries found out how loud the usually shy and polite nations could be.
