009. Sea
"So what's Malta like, aru?" China asked before another meeting started.
"Well… It's basically an piece of land in the middle of the Mediterraian sea… And then Europe's around it!"
"Oh, it sounds so pleasant, aru!" he exclaimed.
"It is! The only problem is… there's no one to talk to…" I quietly said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore, aru!" China exclaimed as he pulled me into a hug. "Big brother will make sure you always have someone to talk to!"
"T-thank you?" I asked as I started to feel a little awkward. "But you aren't really my brother."
"Well now I am!" he argued as he squeezed me a little harder.
"But I'm not even-"
The conversation continued as I tried to convince Wang that he wasn't my real brother, though he could act like one if he felt like he wanted to.
Faraway, I didn't notice that someone else was listening to our conversation.
"So… the Sea, her protection… makes her lonely…" a familiar voice said to himself.
