You stared into the mirror as Alice did your hair, she had come back this morning to help prepare you for the ball. Arthur had once called it your Presentation ball, but you knew all it was, was your going away party. Tonight you would be given to Francis as a noble woman of England. Even though you knew about the whole country thing you decided it would be a lot simpler if you kept calling by the names you knew them best by. "You look beautiful." Alice remarked with a smile.
You stood and walked over to the full length body mirror. You were in a full length white and campaigned colored dress, the leaves hung down and basically were just their for design. You forced slightly, trying to not let Alice see how sad and disappointing you really were. "I'll be back to get you before it starts." Alice said with a forced smiled. She was wearing a blue dress, it was longer and more elegant then the dress she usually wore, her hair was still in pigtails though. She turned and left the room, you stayed standing in front of the full body mirror. you were filled with nothing but sadness. Even though you never told Arthur how you felt you both knew. It was obvious wasn't it? Even Francis could see it. You let out a sigh as you took one last look in the mirror and traveled up your dress and your face and hair with your eyes. Your hair was done up nicely so it was out of your face.
A knock was soon heard at your door. "Come in." You say and turn to see who it is. Francis slowly walks in, a sweet smile on his face. "Bonjour, Mon Cher." He greets you. "Hello." You reply a bit sad. "Care to sit and talk with me?" Francis asked you as he took a seat on the edge of your bed. Knowing you basically had no choice, you obliged and sat next to him. "You look lovely." He remarked. "Thank you." Was all you said in response. You didn't really have any resentment against Francis, its just today wasn't the best, no matter how hard everyone tried to make it seem. "Mon Cher, I've seen how you look at him." Francis' words made your heart drop. "I've also seen how he looks at you." Francis added, "you are both in love." You looked down at the ground, unsure of where this was going. "Me, being a man of love and romance, I would never want to come between lovers." You slowly picked your head up and looked at him. "Really?" You were hoping he was saying what you were thinking. "I won't take you, if that's what you want." Francis said with a smile. "Thank you Francis!" You say and engulf him in a hug. "I must be going now, I'll let you break the news to England." Francis chuckled and stood up, breaking out of your hug. "I'll see you soon Mon Cher." Francis said and then left the room closing the door behind him.

"Why did you do that?" Alice demanded as Francis closed the door. "What do you mean, Mon amour." He said with a playful smile. "Why did you tell her that? I heard you, you know." Alice told him. "Did you forget about Joan?" France gave a small and sad sigh. "My fight is with England, not the girl. There is no reason to cause her harm." Francis said to Alice. "I see..." She nodded. A moment of thought later Alice let out a sigh. "You are allowing this because she isn't immortal, aren't you? This is your revenge." With that accusation France nodded. "She will die from natural causes, while England will live forever. It will kill him to watch her die in her old age." France pointed out, his smile vanished. "Until then I will allow them to be happy." He added as Alice nodded. "Very well then." With that France turned and left the hall. Alice then silently opened the door to your room...

England waited in the ball room with the remaining guest for (f/n) to arrive. He wasn't eager to start, but he wanted to tell her how he felt. Of course neither of them ever voiced their opinion but each knew how they felt. England wanted to tell her though, voice it out to her before she left. He sighed as he thought of life without her. She always seemed to brighten his day in a way. He tried to hid it and tried not to show it, but untimely it failed. He never meant to fall in love or hurt her in the process, but in the end it couldn't be helped. "Mon amour!" England heard behind him. He sighed and turned around, he had never been on good terms with France but at the moment he disliked him even more because of the fact that he was taking away his lovely (f/n). "What do you want, France?" England said annoyed. France just smiled as he walked toward England. "Why so cold tonight, you should be happy. (f/n) is finally a noble." England grinned his teeth not wanting to make a scene and yell or harm France. He knew that since now (f/n) was a noble she was going away with France and he would never see her again. England sighed as that thought swirled through his mind. "Oh, look." England heard France say. England then looked over toward the grand stair case to see (f/n) walking down the stairs. His eyes widened when he saw her. She was stunning in her dress, her beautiful (h/l) (h/c) was now up and out of her face, and her bright (e/c) eyes sparkled.
Once down the stairs she imminently walked over toward England. "Arthur." She said simply and curtsied. "May I um, see you for a few short seconds?" She asked. England was surprised by her request, not expecting her to ask him this. "Yes, of course." He quickly replied. The two then walked out toward an open balcony. "What did you want to see me for?" England asked once they were out there. He noticed how (f/n) had now suddenly become nervous. "You know how after tonight, I'm going to live with Francis?" She asked him. England sighed at the mention of that, this reminded him of what he planned to do. "Yes, I do. (f/n) I have to tell you something." He said quickly. He saw how surprised she was to hear him say that. "(f/n), I never meant to have anyone fall in love with me and I never meant to fall for anyone." England said. "I know what I'm about to say is something that I'd never normally say unless I really meant it, but... (f/n)." He looked into your eyes as he spoke. " I love you. Ever since we rescued that baby bird together, ever since I started to spend so much time with you I began to have feelings for you. I don't want you to go with Francis, I want you to stay here. I want you with me. I want to be the to protect you from thunderstorms and take walks in the garden with. I love you, and I don't want to spend a second without you in my life." He told her honestly, he quickly became embarrassed that he had actually said what he planned and more. (f/n) stayed silent for a few minutes and smiled. "Arthur, I want the same. I love you too." She told him. "Also, Francis came into my room a little while ago. He told me that he would let me stay with you if I wanted to stay." (f/n) added. England's eyes lit up with excitement. "So that means..."

"What's going on?!" Whispered the flying green bunny asked as she sat on Alice's shoulder and peeked out at the balcony. "I can't hear what they are saying!" She whined. "Shhh! Do you want them to hear us?" Alice whispered harshly. "I wasn't talking!" France said and glanced down at Alice. "I wasn't talking to you." She rolled her eyes. "Oh! Oh! Look!" Flying Mint Bunny said in a high pitched whisper. They watched as England and (f/n) smiled at one another and leaned in for a kiss. The second their lips connected Flying Mint Bunny jumped up and cheered. "FINALLY!" Alice only shook her head and sighed at the bunny's reaction. France only chuckled a bit. England turned and glared a bit at the uninvited audience, while (f/n) only looked at them and giggled at them all.
(( AN: Took 3 hours... -_-
The 10th one shall be a Lemons so it will have a mature warning on it, which means I have to change the warning label... I wonder if that still allows people to read it...? idk.
I tried to not make England too out of character when he confessed his love... I kind of put myself more into it then need... so its probably the worst thing ever at the moment... I must separate myself from the story! DX
I don't own England, France, Flying Mint Bunny, Fem!England, or Reader-Chan (you)))
