It was the grand world meeting held once every year and everyone, even regions and non-existing countries, attended. The meeting hadn't started yet and everyone mingled before getting on the different levels. The first matter at hand was the mess that happened at the "green" convention two months earlier. Germany (who had been the host country of the convention) took the stand. "Listen, our bosses all wanted us to work this out today, so we might as well talk about this in an orderly fashion. England, please present the proof you have of the French scientists' research being incorrect."
The man behind the desk with the plaque "Kingdom of Great Britain" stood up with a thick pile of papers in his hand. "The proof is extraordinary. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a bunch of chimps in lab coats in French laboratories."
Some stifled laughs, but most looked at France. His face was getting red and anger flashed in his blue eyes. "Besides that, none of the scientists seem to have adequate education for their position. Quite a few were busted with questionable substances and even more were caught association with criminals. We can't trust that their "research" isn't a part of some plot to get money! Of course the French government became aware of this not to long ago and it was a certain someone's responsibility to look over it and supervise, but I think there may have been distractions…"
"Oh, and you haven't had any?" France cut in, obviously furious.
"Don't speak when it isn't your turn and, England, keep all your references business level. This isn't the time to fight out personal conflicts," Germany scolded from the stand.
France smiled to himself, feeling like he won, while everyone else sat in general confusion of the two rival's spat (except for America and Canada, whose faces turned odd shades). England stood silent for a minute. "Shit, I knew I shouldn't have let him drink any before this. Canada, we're dead," America whispered hopelessly to his brother at the table beside him.
"What? You let him drink? America! He's going to tell!" Canada gasped, freaking out and covering his face.
"I couldn't help it! I woke up, he was gone, and I found him in a bar. Lately he's been really depressed. He said something about 'not being true to himself' and 'tired of hiding it'."
Canada was about to reply when England opened his mouth to say something. Everyone got quiet and all eyes were on him. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth… "NO!"
Everyone spun around to look at America, who was standing and leaning towards England. England had turned around and was looking at him in astonishment. "You can't tell! This is not the place or time! I know what I told you the first night, but maybe we can tell everyone later!"
"As I was going to say, after I took a deep breath and regained my composure, that it is impossible for the temperature of the Alps to be that high…"
"Good job, dumb ass. That was almost as worse as just going out and saying it," Canada laughed.
America was mortified and kept his eyes on the dark wood of his desk. Meanwhile, toward the top where the Germanic countries sat, Austria couldn't help but throw guilty glances down at Hungary and angry ones at Prussia, who was sitting slightly behind Germany's empty chair. It caught Prussia's eyes. He grinned at Austria and waved. Austria ignored him, trying to hone in back to England's speech. He looked on the floor beside him when he heard a noise. There was a piece of paper, hastily folded. Austria picked it up and examined it. He read it underneath the desk, feeling very much like a schoolboy.
In messy handwriting it read,
Guess why Hungary was late to the meeting this morning?
Austria had always been an elegant country and he prided himself on his composure, but this was the last straw. He flung across, punching Prussia straight in the nose. Prussia yelled, threw one at Austria's head, and broke his glasses.
Austria felt someone tugging him and he felt Hungary lay her head on his back, sobbing. "Don't. Don't!"
"Oh Hungary~ I know you told him about us, but did he ever tell you about me and him?"
"What?" Hungary's face was blank and she stepped away. "What is he talking about?" Austria looked at her sadly. "What is he talking about?!" she screamed. Everyone had gone quiet and they all diverted their eyes in embarrassment.
"Not surprising. Those potato freaks can't keep their legs closed," came a voice from the other end of the room.
"Fratello! Don't say that! Both Austria and Prussia are good people. They just had lapses in judgment! You do it, too, big brother," North Italy said, obviously offended.
"Oh, you'd know all about Germans, wouldn't you?"
"Lovino, be nice to your brother!"
"I knew you wanted him over me!"
"No, that's not it! I love you, Lovi!" Spain said, gasping when he realized he had said it in front of everyone.
"That is enough!" Everyone turned to Germany, who was in full battle mode. They all quieted down and even the fight broke up, though Hungary couldn't muffle her crying very well. It had been a short amount of time and already the meeting was in tumult. Germany had always known about Spain and Lovino, and, yes, even about his brother's conquests, but he never really suspected England and America. He came to terms with his and Italy's relationship, so everyone knowing did not bother him (everyone already knew about him being the Holy Roman Empire, a fact he wasn't to happy with when he found out).
Poor England stood there with his eyes trained on Germany. With a nod of Germany's head, he went on and finished, hastily sitting back down. Next was Russia's turn, to fully explain the new pact with China. His boss wanted to make sure that everyone knew there wasn't any… alternative motives… about the alliance and that it was completely a peaceful one.
This matter was important enough to take the main podium and he went on listing the terms. "The third term is that all data about nuclear technology from the Chinese government will be shared with the Russian government."
"What? You never made that clear!" China accused.
"Yes, I did. When we discussed it, after… Well, I made all terms clear. Did not you and one hundred and three members of your government sign it?" Russia said in a patronizing tone.
China began to shake in anger. "Bastard! You tricked me. How could you? I loved you…" He whispered the last part and sat back down, his eyes still glued hopelessly on Russia. How could Russia and he be so close and Russia stab him in the back like that?
For a second there was a look of pure despair in Russia's eyes. He shook it off and continued listing. If China couldn't understand that he was absolutely under the control of his Boss, then…
There was a huge bang and everyone turned to see Latvia and Lithuania storm in. It seemed that Lithuania was whispering something to Latvia angrily. Latvia was mad; anger seemed foreign on his face.
"I can damn well be with who I want to! Who are you to judge? You and Poland are ALWAYS together. Did you not think Estonia and I noticed?" he said quite loudly.
"I'm a grown man! You are a child and he is even younger!"
"But I love Sealand! Does it matter how old we are?!" Latvia whined, his usual crybaby tendencies showing up.
"Well…" sighed Lithuania. They were near Finland's podium and he leaned over it, grabbing Liet's attention.
"Maybe we should both talk about this after the meeting. Sweden and I do have a certain amount of custody of Latvia," Finland smiled.
"I better not hear of you two being hypocrites," Denmark said not-to-quietly in the corner. Russia looked at the scene with a very pissy countenance.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Russia," Finland, Lithuania, and Latvia said in unison.
He ended and a few more people took the stand, but the only thing people could think of was what had been revealed. The meeting was ended by a flustered Germany and everyone filed out to go back before the second part of it the next day.
America thought it would've felt awkward walking by England in front of everyone, but it was surprisingly easy. Besides, he had never seen England smile so much. "You know, maybe everyone coming out wasn't such a bad idea," America sighed, looking at Greece and Japan holding hands.
France and Canada were sitting close by each other. France was whispering in his ear and America was pleased to hear Canada laugh. But of course it wasn't all good…
"China. Please understand."
"I… How could you? After everything you still double-crossed me?" China said his voice rising in pitch.
"Please be reasonable and understand. I couldn't disobey him!"
"What?" China asked, sitting down in a chair and going even paler. "You… Just… Told me you loved me and made love to me and… On your boss's orders?"
"No…" Russia whispered. He kneeled down in front of China's chair and took his face in his hands. "I'm sorry. I did not do that! I truly, truly love you! It broke my heart when you signed those papers. I wanted to throw the pen out of your hand. Please, please believe me…"
"I have to think about this. But do not forget who I am, Russia. I am older than any of you and I have seen many suns and moons. I've seen greater and more powerful countries than you crumble," China said, throwing off Russia's hands, getting up, and leaving a poor Russia slumped on the floor.
"West! Ita-chan!"
Germany and Italy turned around to see Prussia catching up with them. "Oh no…" muttered Germany. Austria and Hungary were his friends, too.
"Look at you two! Out and proud! When are you going to propose, West?"
Italy laughed, his face turning pink, but Germany stiffened. "You're the one to talk about being out and proud! You split them up! They were in love!" Germany said accusingly.
"Calm down. As long as they've been together, they'll be all over each other in no time. They needed a bit of drama," laughed Prussia.
Germany sighed as a smaller hand grasped his. Everything was changed now, for better or worse, but it seemed clearer now that everything was out in the open. It seemed like the age of love affairs were over. It was the era of love stories….
