This is for the guest who requested I ship my OC Mexico with someone and Jywy who gave me the idea.
Song: Two Worlds
The other nations just can't understand it. It's just so strange, so different and unexpected. How could it have come to be? And how long could it possibly last. How was it that quiet, polite, introverted Japan and loud, brash, outgoing Mexico…could be a couple?!
They are completely, totally different! Their mannerisms, their food, their entire cultures are entirely dissimilar! America will always laugh and shrug whenever anyone asked him how they became a couple. "It's the Mexican charm I guess," he would say. China will wisely say, "They must have their reasons," when he was asked. And he is probably right. Looking at them though, you can tell how awkward it is for them sometimes.
For instance, Mexico is a touchy feely kind of person, Japan is most definitely not. More than a couple of times she has approached her boyfriend with open arms only to have him flee from her. Mexico, being a sensitive person (not that she would ever admit it of course), often felt abandoned or unloved and took it out on America and Cuba. There are also times when Japan will be horrified by her lack of tact in front of his family whenever she came to visit. Luckily, North Korea and Hong Kong never seem to mind and China is usually too busy to notice.
But there are things that they like about each other, their food for example, or their art. Japan admires Mexico's fearless nature while Mexico appreciates having someone who will listen to her problems, no matter how trivial they seem. And of course there are times when they were alone and Japan will allow Mexico to kiss and cuddle with him. In turn, Mexico tries to be calm and collected. They rarely argue or get into fights because they both know that the other tries to be better, and that is enough. So maybe it isn't so strange that two worlds could so easily coincide. Maybe it was even natural. But what does it matter? It's love, simple as that. You can see it in that way they hold hands, when Japan leans in to whisper something to Mexico that makes her laugh and blush, or when they sneak out of meetings early (using ninja techniques that Germany can't detect no matter how hard he's tried).
Some people say that love is supposed to change you, which in this case is true. Japan is slowly becoming more and more open and talkative. Mexico is becoming less of a hot head (a miracle America and Cuba were grateful for) under Japan's calming influence. There are times she still causes a ruckus though. Like the time she announced their engagement, or the time months later she came into a meeting with a baby bump.
It's amazing what love can overcome isn't it? These two different worlds are going to have a family.
Ugh, it was so difficult to pick who to ship her with. SO. FREAKING. DIFFICULT. So in the end I decided to write one for each of them! Fear not Epic F. Awesomesauce and Starfire67, I will also be writing your suggestions. And of course, if anyone else has requests I will be writing them. Also, if you want to request a song that I've already written about, I'll write it again if it has a different pairing, songs can be interpreted differently after all!
Please review!
