Summary: Switzerland is burning away… but the flame is small, so it shouldn't matter, right?

A Small Flame
It is small, there is no doubt, but it is definitely a flame.
A small flame, mind you.
Miniscule.
In fact, if you asked Switzerland, it was not a flame at all; and when pressed on the matter, he would write it off as annoyance or hatred. It's all a ruse, and everybody seems to know it besides he, himself.
Rather, everyone aside from himself and Austria.
There is a flame, even if it is small.
No matter that there hadn't been a touch or a call to feed it for years and yet it still burned on; the strength and persistence of it didn't matter a smidge. But it was small.
No matter that he pointedly avoided violet eyes in empty halls and steered clear of classical music.
No, the measures he took to keep the flame small were insignificant as long as the fact remained that the flame was small. The end made the means inconsequential, or so he told himself.
He would never admit to the way it would consume his being for weeks on end when his eyes traveled a bit too far left and found amethyst, or when the room he passed suddenly began spilling over with Chopin and Mozart.
It was annoyance, Switzerland convinced himself as he tucked Liechtenstein into bed every night.
Annoyance in the fact that Austria dressed well and put up a front of wealth when he was just as conservative as Switzerland was, in the fact that he was such an entertainer in the way that he tended to all of his guests, annoyance in the fact that all of his guests were tended to equally…
Annoyance, that's all it is.
Annoyance that makes him call out his name in his feverish state of dreaming.
That makes his heart race.
That makes him burn.
And Switzerland is prepared to tell himself this until the end of eternity.

Man, I've been gone for a while, eh? You didn't notice, don't lie… anyway, I was somehow converted to Austria x Switzerland, though I still appreciate Prussia x Austria… and a threesome would be awesome.
ANYWAY, I hope you enjoy, this was really just a time waster… and trying to get back into Switzerland's mindset, because I somehow ended up RPing a Switzerland who got pregnant(? Don't ask…) had a miscarriage and turned into a total mother hen. Emphasis on the "mother".
I also blame RPing, it's taking up my life… but I wub my Austria. BLAH, anyway, thanks for reading~!
