Chapter 26: It's not like I like you

Aurelian rushed around his bedroom preparing for his date with Avery, he smiled cheerfully as he pulled a brush through his hair and yanked on a nice pair of jeans with a brand new shirt. He ran downstairs "Mama! Do I look okay?" he asked.

Canada smiled "Of course." He kissed his forehead "You look so cute~"

Aurelian pouted "I'm not supposed to be cute!"

Canada laughed "Handsome then."

Aurelian smiled "That's better." He happily set off after grabbing his bag, he sped off to go collect Avery. He raced to his house and knocked on the door in excitement.

America answered the door and frowned "Hey, make sure you have him back at a correct time and don't do anything to him. Okay?"

Aurelian laughed nervously "O-of course."

"Dad!" Avery pushed past him "D-don't be an idiot." He pouted. He was dressed in a nice shirt and a pair of tight black jeans. He shyly pushed his glasses up his nose before smiling shyly at Aurelian who happily held out his hand. Avery took it just as shyly and they set off for their date.

America closed the door and sat on the sofa pouting "Baaaabe!" he whined before slumping his head on England's shoulder "Why are our kids growing up so fast? Tobias just got his first break up and now Avery's on a date…not to mention I'm a grandpa." He whined again which made England laugh.

"Oh love stop it. Kids need to grow up~" he nuzzled Violet "Except our sweet dumpling is still a baby and I'm so grateful for that."

Violet sucked on her dummy happily while gazing up at her parents in baby innocence. America smiled "Yeah true…she's our first daughter. So, I guess she's forbidden to grow up. I ain't having her getting her heart broke and then being knocked up."

England raised an eyebrow "Shouldn't you be worrying about Avery being knocked up?"

America paled "Oh crap! He IS like a chick! I should go-" he stood up to run after them but England grabbed his arm.

"Oh, sit down you idiot I was only joking, Avery isn't a girl you cheeky sod, now I need you to change Violet. You scared her and made her poop." England held her out.

America whined again and took her "I hate poop."

England laughed "Good. Now go change her~ I'm fed up of nappies."

Avery shyly walked along with Aurelian, he pulled his coat on "Mother said it looks like rain later." He mumbled.

Aurelian smiled "Yeah my mom said the same." He nodded to the umbrella under his arm "That movie is on in an hour let's get the bus."

They ran when they saw a bus pulling up towards the stop, panting they paid the fare and sat down on a seat at the back. Aurelian laughed as he slumped down "Wow, our first date and I'm making you run."

Avery rubbed a stitch in his side "It's fine." He squeaked as someone sat next to him knocking him roughly into Aurelian. He looked up at him "S-sorry." He stammered.

Aurelian smiled softly "It's okay."

Avery sat up sharply and looked away. Soon enough they arrived at the cinema. Aurelian grinned and took his hand as he led him away.

America whined softly as he looked over at his husband, England was reading a magazine while sitting on the sofa with his knees pulled up to his chest like a child. America pouted again "Baaabe! Aren't you worried?"

England looked up "Hm?"

America pouted "Our kid is out there with France's kid!"

England smiled "Oh love, don't be silly. They're too young to do anything."

He just shot a pointed look at Sealand who was playing with Elizabeth who was kicking her tiny feet happily. England rolled his eyes. America sighed "Well I don't want another kid on our hands…"

"There won't be. Avery is responsible. Peter wasn't." England shrugged as he turned a page.

Sealand looked up "What?"

England smiled "Your father is being silly."

America slapped the magazine out of England's hands before throwing himself on his lap "You're being mean!"

England flailed "Get off me you fat sod!"

America grinned "Nope! Not until you take me seriously."

England whined and pushed on him "Alfred!"

America kissed his cheek "Ah you love it."

England plopped his head on America's back "Ugh…"

Aurelian smiled as he and Avery waited in the bus stop, the movie was over and the sky had darkened "Where is this bus?" Avery pouted. He looked at him "This is irritating."

Aurelian nodded "Yeah…" he shyly edged up closer to him "Um…"

Avery blushed and stood up swiftly "I can't see this damn bus!"

Aurelian sighed softly and stood up "Um…hey. Look at the time table."

Avery nodded "Okay good idea." He looked at the timetable.

Aurelian seized his chance and grabbed his face and kissed him. Avery's eyes widened in shock. He kissed back before pushing him away "Wh-what are you doing?! You idiot!"

Aurelian laughed nervously "Sorry, sorry!" he scratched the back of his head "I-I was just…I couldn't resist."

Avery pouted as he adjusted his glasses "W-well…it's not like I didn't like it or anything…" he mumbled before hurriedly sitting down far away from him. "I-I mean I hated it! I-Idiot!"

Aurelian smiled happily, Avery was being so cute~ he couldn't help but walk over and try another kiss. Avery squeaked in alarm but he kissed back and closed his eyes. Aurelian gently pulled him to his feet so he could pull him closer. Avery pushed on his chest a little before entwining his fingers in his coat. Droplets of rain splattered on their faces, Avery broke free and yanked his hood up "Mom said it was going to rain."

Aurelian smiled and put his umbrella up "Yeah." He held it over them "So…um…think the bus is cancelled?"

Avery sighed "Yeah probably…stupid buses."

Aurelian laughed "Yeah." He held his hand. Avery went red and looked away to hide his joy at their hands being entwined.

Avery gasped "Look! The bus is finally here!"

Aurelian cheered "Oh good, the rain is really coming down."

Avery waved his hand to signal the bus to stop. They clambered on. They sighed seeing how packed the bus was. Aurelian stood in a space and gently pulled Avery close to him. The bus started again knocking the two into each other. Avery blushed a little and looked up at Aurelian.

Aurelian laughed nervously as their heads banged together "We're a little close." He said shyly.

Avery blushed and squeaked as at the next main bus station more people climbed on squashing the two pretty closely. Avery looked up at him "Um…"

Aurelian laughed nervously "I-it's okay."

Avery was a little shorter than him so his nose ended up being buried in his neck. He breathed in his scent but tried to make it inconspicuous. Aurelian blushed at the tickly feel of his breath on his neck. He shivered a little and closed his eyes. Avery looked up and chewed his lip seeing Aurelian's face. He quickly pressed the bell "I-it's our stop!"

Aurelian opened his eyes "Oh! Okay." He smiled at him and they wriggled through the crowd to get off the bus. He laughed as the rain came down harder "It's a good job our Mothers foresaw the weather."

Avery yanked his hood up again "Yeah."

Aurelian put the umbrella up again and walked him home "I hope we're not too late."

The door was yanked open before Avery could knock "Where the hell have you been?"

Avery smiled "Dad. One bus was late and the other was cancelled."

America sighed "Get in. What did you do?"

"Just watch the movie." Avery shrugged as he stepped in "Bye Aurelian!"

Aurelian smiled and quickly kissed his cheek before running off. America frowned "What the hell?"

Avery rolled his eyes "Dad! It's only a kiss don't worry."

America nodded "Okay, okay."

England walked into the hall "Oh Alfie leave him alone."

America pouted "I was just asking…"

England rolled his eyes which showed where his son got it from "You were worse at that age."

America laughed "At fourteen I was finding ways to kick your ass."

England pouted at him "Why?!"

America smiled sweetly at him "Because I loved you~" he nuzzled him.

England shook his head "That makes no sense you idiot." He smiled at his son "Hey there honey, did you have a nice time?"

Avery nodded happily "I did. It was a good film. I had fun."

England hugged him "That's good, get out of those wet clothes darling and go get in your jammies. We're watching a DVD so watch with us if you want~"

Avery giggled "Okay!" he sped off.

America yawned softly "We're all in our "jammies"."

England pouted "Don't mock my words."

America laughed "Sorry babe, I actually think it's quite cute."

England walked off to the living room. Avery tugged off his clothes and pulled on his pyjamas, he was excited and he couldn't believe how much fun they had. He really enjoyed the kiss too and blushed at remembering it.

Tobias yawned walking into the bedroom "So, how was it?"

Avery smiled "It was a good movie."

Tobias shook his head "That's not what I was talking about! I mean did you kiss and junk?"

Avery blushed even deeper "W-we kissed, yes…what's with the third degree? You kiss Xiaolian and it's fine but I have a kiss with Aurelian and all hell breaks loose."

Tobias smiled "I dunno, Aurelian is…well Uncle Francis' kid."

"So?!" Avery snapped "He's also Uncle Mathew's child too! And Uncle Francis is really nice! You hear too many rumours of him!"

Tobias laughed "Look, Mom and dad both think he's a pervert."

Avery pushed past him "Well I don't think he is. He's very nice and kind and I love him!"

"Are we talking about the same person?" Tobias asked raising an eyebrow "Or are you talking about Aurelian?"

"Does it matter. Uncle Francis is very nice and Aurelian is the same. They're family you can't just badmouth them." Avery snorted.

"Exactly." Tobias said in annoyance "Aurelian is your cousin! He's family, that's what irritates dad."

Avery pouted and walked downstairs. "What's wrong honey?" England asked setting drinks down on the table.

Avery shook his head "Just the usual. Everyone getting at me for Aurelian."

England scowled at his son and husband "Stop it you two! Avery can't help who he has a crush on. Leave him alone now, both of you. As for you Alfred you should be ashamed of yourself. You fell in love with me and I was almost a Mother to you!"

America went red "H-hey! That's not true!" he stammered.

England sat down heavily in the sofa next to him "Now shut up and let's watch this DVD or you can all go to bed early. You as well Alfred."

Alfred pouted and pressed play when everyone was settled in their places. Sealand giggled, he was holding Elizabeth, he couldn't help it. She was so cute and he had truly fallen in love with his little baby girl. He loved the way she slept, her little breaths and the way her hands curled into fists when she was deep in sleep. He gently kissed her brow making a small wrinkled crease in between her eyebrows. Latvia smiled and gently held Sealand's hand "Leave her alone, she needs to sleep." He murmured.

Sealand giggled "I'm sorry."

Latvia smiled happy that they had a sweet baby and she was so loved. He looked at her soft cheeks and wispy hair and gently stroked her little button nose "Okay now we can let her sleep." He whispered.

"Yes." Sealand smiled.

After the movie England stood up yawning "Okay time for bed everyone. I have to check on Violet anyway."

America whined "I don't want to go to bed."

England laughed "You're such a child, shut up and go to bed."

America yawned "Okay, okay." He left and the kids followed.

XxX

Sealand woke up to find Elizabeth wide awake and whining in her crib, he got up and picked her up "What's wrong Eliza?" She grizzled again her little fists clenched tightly. Sealand took her to the bathroom and checked her nappy then he changed her. She looked a little happier but she was still whining "Are you hungry?" he took her downstairs to give her a bottle, soon enough she greedily clamped down on it and drank. "There we go." He murmured.

Latvia woke up and saw the two were gone, he got up to search for them and smiled "She was quiet."

Sealand giggled "I know." He stroked her wispy hair before kissing her "She's a good girl."

"Yes." Latvia smiled "She really is."

Unlike Elizabeth, Violet was crying and wailing loudly, England walked downstairs with her "Okay, okay I'm feeding you." He sighed making a quick bottle up. Violet hushed as soon as the bottle was placed against her mouth, she ate happily. England smiled "She has her father's appetite."

Sealand giggled "Elizabeth is a good girl~"

England smiled "So is your sister. She's just very vocal." He said giving her a gentle kiss.

Sealand nodded "Yeah." He didn't think he could feel as happy as he did right then. He had a boyfriend who he loved very much and he had a beautiful daughter who he would give the world to.
