Canada was on his way to the meeting room, talking to Kuma-whatever, when he suddenly felt something.
"Ne, Kuma?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel it?"
"Feel what?" Kumajirou turned to look at him in his arms.
"That something is going to happen when we open this door." Canada pointed to the meeting room's door as he stood in front of it.
"Hnn." Kumajirou looked at the door. He didn't feel anything wrong with the door maybe his friend, that he always keeps forgetting the name of, is finally mad. He always knew.
"Hmm. It's okay, I knew you couldn't handle this."
"Hah?What do you mean by that!?"
"You finally cracked."
"What do you mean!?"
"..."
"Kuma-something..."
"Say my name properly."
"I don't know you're name!"
"Such a pity, after you went through the trouble of naming me."
"Kuma!"
"Zzzzzzzzzzz"
"Don't fall asleep!"
A/N: Cupcakes given to the person that can guess which Anime that reference was based on. ;)
Russia smiled as Canada sat next to him. He snaked his arm around Canada's waist as Canada leaned into him.
"Why were you late?" Canada glanced at him before he looked back to the conference.
"Kumajudo fell asleep."
"Hmm." Russia half-listened as he breathe in Canada's scent. It smelled of maple syrup and autumn. How he managed to obtain the perfume or if it was his natural smell was beyond him.
"Russia...Not here."
"Hmm." Canada felt Russia's hand snaking lower until-
"Russia!" Just then the door swung open. Everyone stared, except Russia who merely glanced before he went back to enjoying Canada's scent. At the door was no other then the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in...PUNK OUTFIT?!
"Bahahahahaha! Dude! You totally look like a dork!"
"S-shut up! Why are you calling me a bloody dork when it's clear that you are a dork!?"
"Ohonhonhon! You look so ridiculous in that! Ohonhonhon!" And so France and America proceed to tease England in his choice of clothes until they got tired and that's when they began the meeting.
After a while, it was time for lunch. Canada took out some pancakes and was eating them while Russia drank some Vodka.
"Russia, Vodka is bad for you."
"Don't worry Matvey. It's Russian's water! Da!" Canada sweatdropped. He never got the concept of Vodka being Russian's water.
"But still-" Someone plotted done next to him. Both Russia and Canada turned to look and it was none other then Cambodia. And apparently she was fuming.
"Cambodia? Are you alright?" Cambodia looked at Russia and Canada.
"NO! Stupid Prussia thought it would be funny to steal my lunch and throw it out the window by 'accident'." Canada had sympathy in his eyes directed towards Cambodia.
"If you want I'll share my pancakes."
"Da! I'll share my Vodka with you!" Russia waved his half drunk Vodka in front of Cambodia's face. But he 'accidentally' used much more power then he intended to because the next thing he knows. Cambodia was on the ground with blood pouring out of her nose.
"Russia!"
"Sorry." Strangely, he was smiling. 'Oh, no. Did his grudge came back? What did I do?' Cambodia thought as she passed out from the amount of bloodloss.
"Are you feeling better?" Canada asked the next day as he and Cambodia walked towards the conference room. The reason for another meeting was due to Cambodia passing out and the fact that they didn't get any work done.
"Yeah, I'm feeling better. Thought my vision is a bit blurry. " Canada was worried. He asked Ivan why he did that once he returned home yesterday after he dropped Lily off at her home. And the only reply he got was 'It was an accident.' but Russia wasn't looking directly at him. Heartbroken, he ran out and refused to talk to Russia since then.
A/N: Lily is Cambodia's human name.
Of course, Lily knew about this because she was called a few minutes after she arrived home. She was in the middle of making dinner when the phone rang so she invited Canada over.
"I'm sure he didn't mean to."
"NO! He did it on purpose! He refused to look at me when ask him about it. I-I won't talk to him until he apologies!" Canada crossed his arms and huffed in which in all honesty Cambodia found cute. Thought his yell was only above a whisper.
Cambodia sighed as they arrived at the door. She opened the door and stepped in. Pretending to be cool as she went to sit in her normal seat with Canada beside her, though no one noticed him. As soon as she sat, she huffed and looked around the table at the other countries, daring one of them to speak. Germany was surprise how easily Cambodia took control. All of the countries were seated and quiet. Germany stood up, avoiding Cambodia's gaze as he spoke beginning the meeting. Which, for once, was successful.
After the meeting Germany thought about the meeting. Cambodia easily took control as if it was so easy. Yet, when he tried it. It failed. He didn't quite understand but he was grateful.
"Okay!" America called out and everyone turned to the gigantic T.V. screen. The first word appeared but no one had the chance to read it because Japan went down really fast. But one person caught the words.
"Wait. Japan go up." Japan was frozen, fear in his eyes.
"N-no..." Japan said quietly, which was so unlike him that everyone wondered if Cambodia had tortured him again. And they all looked at Cambodia.
"What?" Everyone stayed slient, daring one of the countries to speak for them. But before anyone could, Cambodia rolled her eyes.
"No, I didn't do what you guys think I did and Japan, why not?" Cambodia looked at Japan, though she didn't do anything. Just simply looked at him, but he was cowering a little.
"Um..." Japan trailed off, thinking of an excuse.
"You know what? I'll do it myself." Lily said as she got up. America suddenly was in front of her.
"Ahahaha, you should probably sit down." America said as he had his hands on Cambodia's shoulder, forcing her to sit down.
"...America, I can't-"
"Hahahahaha!" Cambodia raised an eyebrow.
"...Fine." And they continued reading.
The sun had just risen upon another day in the rural area of Japan which Kiku called 'home'.
China raised an eyebrow. He was suspicious on where this was going. He glanced at Cambodia who had a deadpanned expression. Unbeknownst to him, Cambodia was trying hard to not smirk or her plan would fail.
He had started his day with cooking a small one-person breakfast and had eaten on his own, enjoying the peace and quiet. Usually, things were rather hectic in these times of war, but Kiku was glad to finally have a day off to relax.
'World War II? ' Everyone in the room questioned.
'I think I'll take a bath after this.' Kiku decided, smiling as he cleaned the bowl he had eaten his breakfast from.
And bathe he did.
He was just returning from his trip the hot springs
"Ve~! Japan, you don't have a bath at your house?" Italy asked.
"I do, but it's fun at the hot spring." Japan replied and Italy nodded in understanding.
that were conveniently nearby his house, carrying his towels in a bag made from a weave of straw; when he spotted a familiar face standing outside his home.
'Familiar face?' Everyone wondered. They glanced at Cambodia who had her head on the table with Canada trying to wake her up. Apparently she fallen asleep.
He looked like he was deciding whether or not it was customary to knock on the door of a Japanese home, like it was in western culture.
Kiku tilted his head curiously, wondering why the young Heracles Karpusi-
"That's enough! " Germany shouted out. Everyone turned to stare at him and Cambodia. Cambodia still was asleep ignoring the things going on around her.
"Italy! America! Vhat are you guys doing?! Are you guys suggesting a threesome!?" Everyone turned to Italy and America.
"Uh...Maybe you should ask Cambodia. After all she was the one who suggest it." Everyone, once again, turned to Cambodia. Who was, unfortunately, still asleep. Canada shook Cambodia furiously but she still didn't wake up. At this point, Canada wondered how Cambodia can keep on sleeping like that.
"I-it's no u-use. S-she w-won't wake u-up..." Canada said in his voice that was never above a whisper. Germany sighed and told everyone to continue reading until Cambodia woke up.
was at his home, let alone in Japan in general. Though, it hadn't taken him completely by surprise, as the Greek man seemed to have some sort of keen fascination for his country's culture and language.
'That's suspicious, aru!' China thought, narrowing his eyes at the screen while everyone quickly glanced at Greece.
'I suppose I shouldn't leave him waiting out here too long. It looks like it'll rain, soon.' Kiku thought to himself, and walked over to the taller man.
"Ano... Heracles-san?" he asked him, and the brunet looked over to him in surprise. Kiku smiled, "Would you like to come in for some tea?" he asked the man.
"Ah... 'arigatou'."
Japan was proud that Greece knew some japanese and was speaking it. Even though it was a fanfic.
Heracles carefully pronounced and the two stepped inside the house. Kiku turned to Heracles as he slipped his sandals off.
"Eto... In Japanese culture it is customary to remove your shoes before entering. Would you mind...?" he gestured to him.
The brunet nodded, "Mm," he grunted and slipped his shoes off, before following Kiku into the kitchen and taking a seat, all while keeping an eye on the Japanese man.
China's left eye visually twitched.
"I'm just going to put my things way... I'll be right back." Kiku told him, and then left the room.
Kiku made his way to his bedroom, going straight to his closet where he stored his futon mattress, blankets, pillows and towels. He pulled the door open and took out his clean towels (which he had dried off at the bath-house after bathing), beginning to push them inside the top level of the cupboard which was almost too high up for him.
The sound of raindrops patting down lightly on the rooftops came to his ears, getting heavier and faster, gradually. He turned to his window as he tried to push the towels in on the top.
It was just as he predicted... It had been such a nice day too.
A sudden crack of thunder and lightning caused Kiku to jump with surprise and slip backwards,
"Ve~ Japan, you afraid of stroms?" Italy asked.
"Eh? Ah, apparently, so..." Japan looked down at his lap.
bringing the futon and towels down with him. He quickly found himself buried under the scattered fabrics.
'Thunder too...' he sighed, and tried to wriggle his way out from under everything. But he couldn't move. He paused, frowning slightly, 'I'm stuck... what now?' he wondered to himself. It was silent for a few moments, before he heard someone call him.
"Kiku-san!?"
'Took you long enough to save him, aru!' China thought angrily.
"Ah... Heracles-san?" Kiku blinked, and tried to move around under the mess of sheets. "I-I'm under here." He said.
There was the muffled sound of footsteps, and the blankets were quickly tossed aside. Heracles pulled Kiku up into a sitting position.
"'daijoubu ka'?" he asked Kiku, staring intensely at him.
Kiku, feeling embarrassed, blushed a little and looked away,
'No.' China thought as he read intently.
"Ah, I-I'm alright. The thunder gave me a shock, that's all." He answered.
"'Kaminari ga... kowaii'?" Heracles asked curiously, tilting his head to the side.
As another flash filled the skies outside, Kiku smiled and shook his head, "No. However, I believe you may have made some mistakes with that question..." he responded.
"Ah..." Heracles sounded. He looked down, as if thinking of something.
As he did this, Kiku lifted himself up slowly, and dusted himself off. "I have to re-stack these supplies in the closet. Would you like to help?" he asked, then paused, "I-If that's okay?" he added, not wanting to force the task onto his guest.
"Polite as always, Japan." Germany said as he nodded his head.
"Okay." Heracles nodded, and the two began to tidy things away. As they did, he continued to think to himself, and after a while he turned to Kiku with a somewhat hesitant expression, "Can you tell me if I say this correctly?" he asked, and paused to hear Kiku's response.
'Japanese pronunciation? ' Japan thought.
Kiku glanced at him curiously as he tucked the futon away in the closet.
"That's fine. Go ahead." He nodded, taking a pillow and putting it away as well.
Heracles also nodded, and they were quiet a moment. Kiku turned away from the closet to observe him curiously.
"Heracles-san?" he asked, waiting for him to speak.
"A-Ayii-" he began, unsure how to pronounce it. Kiku gestured for him to go on, listening carefully. Heracles took a breath, before trying again. "'ai.. shiteru'?" he slowly pronounced, looking to the Japanese man unsurely.
"Wait. Aishiteru...What does that mean again?" China said as he pondered the translation. Everyone stared at China, that was the first time he spoke during the duration of the whole meeting.
"It means 'I love you.' in japanese." Cambodia said as she lifted her head from the table with an emotionless expression. She chose to woke up at that time. At what she said, all hell broke loose.
China jumped on the table and ran towards Greece. Attacking him with his martial arts movements that Greece was confuse with but he fought with his own fighting style which includes a sword that he was swinging in front of him. Italy began waving his flag and the rest of the countries decided that that was the signal to have chaos happen in the room.
Japan tried to calm both Greece and China down while avoiding being hit with the sword, arm, and legs swinging in front of him. Russia was in a bad mood ever since Canada left him so he was scaring everyone in the room. Germany sighed as he finally had enough and left the room. Though no one noticed, except Italy, who followed after him. Cambodia chose to go back to sleep during that time and Canada looked around nervously. Being the peace-loving country he was, he hated fights and was wondering how to stop one in front of him. Eventually, everyone got tired and went home.
Canada was carrying Cambodia on his back as she had fallen asleep and had yet to wake up. 'She can be a heavy sleeper if she chose to be.' he thought as he continued dragging Cambodia behind him. It wasn't that Cambodia was heavy. It was he was sleepy and it didn't help when Cambodia was slightly taller then he was. Suddenly he felt the weight being lift off him as he looked behind him. There, in front of him, was the great Mother Russia himself!
"Um..." He stared, unsure of how to respond to this.
"Matvey. I'm sorry, da?...I didn't mean to hurt Cambodia. Forgive me, da?" Russia said as he held Cambodia in his arms while looking down at Canada. Canada stared up at him. Should he forgive Russia or not? He did love Russia but he was still mad at him for hurting his little sister. As he stared at Russia he saw that he was about to cry. All the angry melted away from him as he hugged Russia.
"I-I'll forgive you...But you have to say sorry to Lily." Matthew said as he felt Russia try to stay up dued to the fact that he had literally ran into him while trying to hug him.
"Okay." And with that they both walked home.
