"Hey, Turkey! Your breasts are mine da ze~!" – Korea declared playfully, running around with the roasted bird to put it at the table.

Turkey – the nation – just had his typically mischievous laugh.

When the clock signaled it was midnight, Finland started to give everyone their gifts. All the nations looked happy and enjoying the stuff they got.

America was bouncing around with a videogame set.

Japan bowed several times, truly thankful for the soy sauce, furikake and Kwelpie mayo he got. This would help him cope with the times he had to stay over anywhere but his home.

France laughed about not showing his gift otherwise UK wouldn't let them use it latter.

UK yelled at the French, holding a spell book he was hypnotized by moments ago.

Mexico got some Thalia's CD and already was singing the songs.

Argentina got a soccer ball and Brazil had a pair of goalkeeper's gloves and were already challenging each other.

And so the gifts distribution kept going.

"Dude, you must stay over so we can try this!" – US told Korea, showing his new toy.

"T-this should be so fun da ze~!" – said Asian commented, amazed.

"I know~!"

"Korea, whato did you gotto?"

The peninsular country blinked, realizing his hands were indeed still empty.

"Funny… Finland stopped giving gifutos a while ago. You were not goodo boy this year?" – Japan smirked.

"No way! Why Korea would be a bad guy?! There must be some misunderstanding, like his gift lost somewhere! Don't worry dude, we're going to save your gift!"

"Moi moi~! Korea, can I talk to you privately?" – asked Finland.

The Asian excused himself and followed the Finn.

"I am so sorry! I looked everywhere searching for your gift, but just can't find any. The last thing I want is to ruin your Christmas making you feel like you didn't behave well enough. I mean, I gave coal to your twin – and he actually thanked for the extra fuel. So, if you don't get coal, it's a sign you haven't been bad. However, it's the first time I can't find any gift for a fellow nation."

"Don't worry da ze~!" – the Asian answered, smiling – "In fact, I wished to cancel my Christmas wish."

"W-what?! That makes no sense…"

"Is just that I realized my wish could spoil the happiness of someone I care about, so I better not having it da ze." – Korea explained, his eyes catching America showing his gift for his boyfriend.

"Are you sure…?"

"Yes, no problem at all. But thanks for your concern da ze~" – the Asian headed to go talk with his friends, however, he turned back before the Nordic on a red suit left – "Hey, Finland? You think Santa can grant me some extra credits for the next year?"

"Who knows? Sometimes, Christmas miracles are possible."

"So, what Finland wanted, dude?" – America asked, curious.

"It seems like he can't find my gift, but that's not a big deal da ze." – Korea shrugged.

"Bet someone was noto goodo boy this year." – Japan smirked.

"Good boys go to heaven; bad boys go everywhere da ze." – the peninsula showed his tongue to his sibling.

"No fair! No way Korea deserves no gifts, I mean, even non-Christian nations that celebrates Christmas just for the gifts got something!" – said the blond, upset for his friend, before leaving the Asians declaring – "The hero will save your Christmas!"

"Why you keepu disturbing us? Get losto!"

"I was just passing by, he's the one that comes to me, 'non-Christian nation celebrating just for the gift' da ze~"

"Shutto up! And stay away furom him!"

"So you make sure he doesn't feel the need to come to me da ze."

That tease was too much for the island nation, who threw the wine he was drinking at his brother, staining the Korean's shirt and making his face and hair dripping wet.

"Sumimasen." – the Japanese 'apologized' with a smirk, not really meaning it at all.

"That's the kind of response that originates from nations with no arguments da ze." – Korea commented, nonchalantly wiping his face with his shirt's sleeve, heading to the restroom to try to clean himself.

"Hey, dude, I've been looking for y… what happened, buddy?!"

"I think taking alcohol well doesn't originate in Japan, he bumped on me with a glass of wine da ze." – Korea shrugged – "That's what happens when you can't see a half empty glass without an urge to fill it up da ze~"

"Oh… anyway, I'll lend you a shirt. Follow the hero!"

"It's knee length on me, but the sleeves are almost right da ze~ Do you think it would look like a hanbook if I wear a vest over this?" – the Asian joked.

The American giggled, an unexplainably warm feeling from looking his friend more comfortable and even having fun wearing his clothes. Korea was so cute!... wait, what?! The blond shook his head. This must be too much alcohol combined with having an official relationship with a his friend somewhat look-alike.

"By the way, you wanted to talk to me about something da ze?"

"Yep. About your Christmas gift…"

"Na, don't worry about that, Christmas was good enough spent with friends and family da ze~"

"Actually, I'm not sure if it can count as a gift, since I can't just give them away for free, but I figured it'll make you happy enough to make it up."

"You shouldn't have the trouble da ze~" – the Asian commented, already touched with the hero's kindness.

"Buuut, you'll have to guess what it is!" – the blond blinked playfully to the shorter man.

"How many guesses do I have?"

"Hn… let's see… one?"

"What?! How will I know da ze? Give me a hint da ze~!" – demanded a suddenly distressed brunet.

"Ok… Two letters and a number."

"No… I can't believe… You'll really…" – dark eyes shone in excitement.

"So, you already know what it is?"

"You're finally selling me RQ-4s da ze?!" – the smaller nation squealed in delight – "I've been begging for years to buy some!" – he tackled the other in a thankful hug in an overwhelming happiness reflex – "Komapseumnida! Thanks so much da ze~! How did you manage to convince your boss?!"

"I know~! The hero told him that you'll need them for investigation in your neighborhood and self-protection from North Korea, and he finally agreed!" – the one saving the day said, while messing with his buddy's hair with one hand and returning the hug with the other – "Use them wisely~!"

"This is the coolest gift I ever got da ze!"

Notes:

-Furikake is a seasoning powder mix Japanese sprinkle on their rice.

-Many Japanese bring this Kewpie mayonnaise when they come abroad. Some even bring soy sauce. They tend not to be adventurous about other countries food – well, at least it works like that with the ones that come to Brazil for business instead of tourism.

-Thalia is a famous Mexican singer and actress.

-North Korea has been a bad boy lately, launching rockets (and probably testing missiles) against all the other countries decision and causing his neighbor nations to be afraid of a war.

-It's bad manner in Japan to let people's glass half-empty, they always fill them up… and often nag each other to drink in one go (just to fill the cup again). They usually fill other's glass and expect the favor to be returned.

-In Korea it is bad manner to fill up a half-empty glass. They always fill up their drinking buddies glasses when they are empty, and also expect the favor to be returned… but as far as I am concerned, if you already had enough, leaving your glass half-full will prevent it to be filled up again.

-It's been a couple of years (since 2006, if I'm not wrong) that South Korea shows interest on purchasing US made RQ-4 (Global Hawk) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used by the United States Air Force and Navy and the German Air Force as a surveillance aircraft.

This Tuesday (Dec. 25) US government issued a notice agreeing on selling 4 of them.

I was to finish this chapter with Korea just giving up his Christmas wish this year and maybe having extra-credits for next year, but after reading this news, I had to change that. At the end, the hero just saved his Christmas! It that destiny or what? XD
