So...I have writers block, but thanks for waiting~
20: Switzerland and Austria
Best friends were forever right? I mean, that's what BFF stood for, best friends forever. I guess that isn't always the case. Looking back, Austria would have never thought that Switzerland wouldn't be his friend anymore. They had once been so close, but now they were anything but. They didn't stay in contact though, like so many nations with past relations did (even France and England got along well sometimes), it had just stopped between them.
Austria wasn't difficult and spent a lot by choice. Every time he saved money or tried to be cheap, it would remind him of Switzerland. It was the same for Switzerland as well, he never spent a lot because it would remind him of his former friend. Though while Austria had Hungary to keep him company and wallow in the memories past, Switzerland had no desire to tell Liechtenstein what had happened in his past.
Austria remembered with reverence what their last meeting was like. He doubted that Switzerland looked back onto it with the same grief and feelings of loss that Austria did. Still though, Austria thought back to what he had done and all that he remembered.
"You don't always have to buy the most expensive thing! Gosh Austria you're going to make me go broke," Switzerland said loudly in the store, drawing a lot of the attention to the both of them.
"That's the job of being Austria. You're the one who's meant to be a cheapskate," Austria retorted back in his elegant voice. Switzerland glared at him, and somehow managed to do it even more when Austria put another 'useless' item into the cart.
"Damn it Austria! That's what I'm talking about!" Austria had never seen Switzerland this mad before.
"Then leave," Austria said before he thought about what he was saying. Switzerland stared at him with calculating irises, but Austria couldn't say that he meant what he said. Yet in the air there was a challenge. Switzerland would either leave or stay with Austria. Neither of them knew how this moment would change their relationship forever.
Switzerland left Austria there in the supermarket. He didn't take a single glance back.
After that day, Austria created an alliance with Germany, and then moved in with him. He had been previously living with Switzerland, but that wasn't going to work anymore. He had demanded that it was to better the alliance, but really it was because he had nowhere else to go. Germany seemed happy just to have another ally that wasn't Italy.
No one questioned why Austria and Switzerland suddenly seemed to hate each other.
Miles and miles away, was a certain Swiss who was thinking about the same thing that a certain Austrian was. Switzerland was making his world famous chocolate, but even that tasted bitter in his mouth when it was accompanied with the memories of Austria. He was too caught up thinking about their last meeting to make his chocolate taste better.
"You don't always have to buy the most expensive thing! Gosh Austria you're going to make me go broke," he said loudly in the store, drawing a lot of the attention to the both of them.
"That's the job of being Austria. You're the one who's meant to be a cheapskate," Austria retorted back in his elegant voice. Switzerland glared at him, and somehow managed to do it even more when Austria put another 'useless' item into the cart.
"Damn it Austria! That's what I'm talking about!" Switzerland never felt this mad, not even when he had to break up fights with Germany in the World Meetings. Austria seemed to be able to sense it as well.
"Then leave," Austria said snapping Switzerland out of his thoughts. Switzerland stared at him with calculating irises, but wondering if he was serious. In the air there was a challenge. Switzerland would either leave or stay with Austria. Neither of them knew how this moment would change their relationship forever.
Switzerland had walked out without a glance back, even though everything inside of him told him that he should.
When Austria had moved out, Switzerland hadn't said a word to him. How he had regretted that moment to this day. That day, Switzerland had lost one of his best friends.
Miles and miles away, a certain Austrian was morning the loss of his best friend as well.
