Seychelles

"Okay then Liechtenstein! I'll see you tonight, I guess."

She watched as her roommate skittered off. She really did love her brother. As nations, always being put through war, politics and economic issues it was nice to have someone who is there for you. While a lot of the countries formed bonds and called each other 'brothers' there were a very few who were actually blood-related. She thought it would be nice to be that close to someone.

Seychelles was brought back to the present by a hand very low on her back.

She looked up at France curiously. The same mischievous twinkle was in his eyes but it had increased ten-fold.

"What are you doing?"

"I was just going to lead you to the water, ma cherie."

"Oh, okay then."

Seychelles let herself be guided to the sea. It was dawn and the waves had calmed. An orange glow painted the sky and glittered on the ocean.

Just as France inched his hand lower on her back she stepped into the water, leaving him on the sand. She carefully lifted her skirt slightly so it wouldn't get wet. She peeked at France over her shoulder.

"Are you coming in?"

He looked at her at was silent. He then shook his head and spoke, "Non, non. I am wearing very good trousers I'd prefer to stay dry. But please continue."

Seychelles beamed at him and wadded deeper in the water. It made her feel at home. Like she was back on the island.

France looked on in amazement. It was like a scene from an overly-cheesy romance movie. While the sun was gradually falling beneath the horizon, he could make out the silhouette of a girl, enraptured in the moment, enjoying the feel of the water around her ankles.

She was beautiful.

But none of that ********. This was France. He wanted her in his bed.

At least that's what he reminded himself. But she was so young and naïve. He had almost felt her up and she didn't even realise. He couldn't imagine mistreating this girl like that.

…

Doesn't mean he can't casually molest her, does it?

I mean c'mon! He's the nation of love!

Seychelles bounded back onto the beach. "Thanks for waiting! I was just reminded how I wouldn't be seeing my island for the year, so yeah…" She looked back out to the ocean.

France smiled and put his arm around her. "Come, I'll walk you to your room. You need rest for tomorrow. It's a big day."

Seychelles groaned. "Classes. And we all just arrived too."
France chuckled. "Oui, but the sooner classes start the sooner they finish. And you will get to return to your wonderful home."
Seychelles laughed tiredly and slipped out from under his arm. She skipped a few steps forward.

"Tell me about France. Like, your home France. Not you. Or you can tell me about yourself if you want."

France oh hon hon hon'd. Remember people; he's France. He doesn't have to laugh like normal people because he is just that cool. "Are you saying you don't want to hear about me? Hah, what am I saying of course you do!"

He then began to tell the smaller girl all about his home. She listened intently and seemed genuinely interested. While her home had been very influenced by the French, she was always astounded at how different other countries' cultures and lives were.

Before they knew it they found themselves outside Seychelles' room. France turned to her and rubbed her arm affectionately.

"Bonne nuit."
"Good night."

When Seychelles closed the door behind her she leaned her back against it. Well that was an interesting… outing… because it was most certainly not a date.

But she could tell something big had happened today.
