Chapter 28
Olivia's P.O.V.
"Olivia, time to get up!" A voice said rousing me from my sleep. I snorted and rolled over trying to get away from whoever it was. A sigh followed before I was shoved out of the bed and onto the floor. I landed with a thump and a shriek. Laughing unfortunately sounded above me and I growled.
"Who the hell's brilliant idea was it that to wake me up you had to shove me off the bed!" I exclaimed untangling myself from the covers and glaring at the nations above me. Scotland was laughing hysterically while North was snickering and England looked about to start laughing. But both England and North pointed to Scotland who just continued to laugh at me. I scowled and stood up cracking my back and grimacing.
"Aye now lass, ye cannae blame me. Ye wouldnae wake up." Scotland said shrugging.
"What was that noise Canadian?" Anna asked poking her head in from the hallway.
"Me being shoved off my bed, nothing unusual at all, just go back to sleep." I said glaring at Scotland with my arms crossed over my chest. She shrugged and walked away while I looked at the time. It was just barely 7 in the morning. "I hate you all." I hissed running a hand through my messy hair. Scotland shrugged as did North while England sighed.
"Yes well, you and Scotland need to get going in about an hour if you want to make it to his home by dinner time. So, Matthew is up making you breakfast while we woke you up." England said watching as I yawned and ruffling my hair.
"Okay, I'll be done in a few minutes… which means you all have to get out of my room….. Now." I said staring at them. North and England walked out quickly while Scotland lingered. I scowled and shoved him out the open door making sure to shut and lock it on him. Muttering as I dressed and threw my pajamas in bag I brushed my hair at the end only for it to be futile. It was sticking up weirdly and I would have to deal with the teasing I was sure to get from Alfred. Great. After finishing up I quickly walked downstairs to see not only Matthew, England, North and Scotland in the kitchen, but also Germany and Italy. I stopped surprised and titled my head.
"Hello Germany, Italy. It has been awhile, hasn't it?" I greeted smiling tiredly. Italy bounced up happily to greet me and hug me to which I sluggishly responded. Germany got up more at a normal speed to greet me and thankfully did not give me a hug. That would have been a little awkward.
"It is nice to see you again Olivia." He said smiling tightly. Scotland was watching him through narrowed eyes and I looked between the two suspiciously.
"It's nice to see you too Germany, but can I ask what you're doing here?" I questioned sitting down across from him as Matthew set waffles down in front of me. My eyes lit up and I thanked him as he handed me the maple syrup. He chuckled and went back to flipping pancakes as Scotland plopped down beside me. His fingers entangled in my belt loops and dipped into the front pocket of my jeans. I sent him a warning glare to which he raised an eyebrow at to challenge me. Germany cleared his throat and I turned back to him.
"Vell, as you vill not be at the meeting I vanted to check up on you before you und Scotland left." Germany said folding his arms across his chest. I nodded eating my waffles and he held back an amused grin. Scotland was glaring at him with all of his might at my side. I swallowed the last of my waffles before smacking him on the back of his head. He yelped and rubbed it while glancing at me.
"Calm down you overprotective nut. It's just Germany." I said getting up to put my dish away in the sink. He grumbled while Germany looked at him suspicious.
"Und just vhat has happened vhile you vere here, Olivia?" Germany asked suddenly. I froze and nearly dropped the dish in my hand. Everything went silent and I held my breath.
"Germany? What are you doing here so early?" A voice asked from the hallway. We all turned to see Anna there staring at us all. Germany turned to her to greet her and I let out my breath slumping against the sink railing.
"Well, tha' was a little too close." Scotland murmured coming up behind me. I titled my head back and sighed.
"Just a little." I muttered back slipping away from him to walk out of the room. However I was stopped by someone grabbing the back of my collar and yanking. I yelped and looked up to see Germany there scowling.
"I asked you a question Olivia und I expect an answer." He said glaring down at me. I gulped not knowing what to say to him and then England stepped in. He cleared his throat and Germany looked to him.
"Now, if I had known you had come here to interrogate Olivia I would not have let you in kraut. Unhand her and sit down. She and William have somewhere to be so I will be the one giving you an explanation." England said grabbing Germany's hand. Germany sighed and released my collar. I stepped out of his range and regarded him. He looked apologetic as Italy cowered in the background with a white flag waving. He appeared to be about to say something, but Scotland stepped between us and began to usher me away and to the stairs. A half an hour passed before I could go back downstairs. Scotland was purposely keeping me busy and away from Germany.
"Alright, look here! I am packed, you are packed and we need to leave. So I am going to go downstairs, to say good bye to everyone and talk to Germany. Do you understand me? I will do what I like and want and you have no damn right to tell me what I can and can't do. That includes forcing me away from someone or something. I will meet you at the front door in several minutes." I said finally getting fed up with Scotland. He looked ready to protest, but I was already walking away. I heard him growl before his arms were around my waist and I was pulled back into his chest. I looked up to see him right by the top of my head.
"Ah'm the one who ye're with lass, and no ruddy kraut will take ye from me, git it?" He growled tightening his hold on my waist. I gulped and nodded as he brushed his nose along my neck. "Good," He whispered titled his head up to catch my lips in a gentle kiss. It was unfortunate that at that very moment Germany decided to come upstairs to find me. And stumbled upon me….. With Scotland.
"Vhat ze hell is going on here!" He yelled startling us. I jumped and would have moved away from Scotland if he hadn't tightened his grip again.
"Jist what did Art'ur explain to ye?" Scotland deadpanned looking at the red faced German in front of us.
"He explained to me zat you two vere very close, however… He did not specify zat it vas zis close!" Germany said waving at how Scotland had yet to release me. And probably what he caught us doing.
"Er, well you see…" I trailed off not knowing what to say to Germany. It honestly didn't help that Scotland still wouldn't let go of me.
"Oi! Olivia! William! Shouldn't you be leaving….. um, everything okay?" Wales asked coming up the stairs to see us.
"Ye're right Cymru we should be goin'. Nice ter see ye Germany." Scotland before tugging me past Germany and down the stairs with Wales following us. Germany quickly followed after that yelling question to which he got vague answers from Scotland about.
"SHUT UP! Germany, yes Scotland and I are now together, stop shouting at us! I know the problems that have yet to be worked out that I will have to work out, but STOP YELLING AT ME! Scotland, stop being such an ass and tugging me away. I realize we have to leave, but that does not mean I don't have time to say proper good byes! Now, you two can stand here, make up and I will be with you both in a few minutes, got it?" I said breaking away from Scotland and standing in front of Germany and Scotland. Wales had slipped away to stand with England who had appeared in the kitchen doorway. Germany and Scotland nodded gulping and with a huff I walked away to say good bye.
"I'll miss you." I said hugging Anna. I didn't get to see her again for a couple weeks. It was really sad. She hugged back and after we separated I was swept away by Alfred. By the time I was done saying good bye Scotland was looking agitated and Germany awkward.
"Alright, we can leave now." I sighed waling over to them. "It was nice to see you again Germany, I'm sorry I can't go to the meeting or stay longer." I said smiling sadly. Germany smiled sadly back and cleared his throat.
"It is fine, I vill see you gain though, ja? You'll come to visit me some time?" He asked. I nodded and he smiled happily. I walked out the door with Scotland following me and we left. It was going to be an interesting next couple weeks.
Anna's P.O.V.
"There she goes again." Arthur mumbled watching the car speed away. I nodded leaning against him to watch as well. "Now then, we have that meeting to think about love. Are you sure you want to go with me? You don't have to." Arthur continued looking down at me.
"But I want to go! I haven't seen Japan, or Russia or France or anyone else for awhile now. Plus the antics are funny!" I said smiling with my eyes closed. Arthur chuckled lightly and we moved away from the window and towards the living room where everyone was gathered.
"The meeting's in two days right?" I asked sitting down at the empty couch. Arthur took a seat beside me and nodded.
"Yes, it will take place in London of course. It will last a few days as well, so do be prepared. I don't want it to turn into a pointless meeting like the last one." Arthur said looking at Alfred while saying the last sentence.
"What? It so totally wasn't the hero last time." Alfred said sticking his tongue out at Arthur. And then an argument started between the two. I just watched in silence smiling. It was just like before that incident. It was nice, even though the two of them were basically clawing at each other's throats.
"Now brother, don't you still have work left to do for this meeting?" Wales asked interrupting the fight. Arthur paused, eyes wide before rushing off. A door slammed somewhere else and Wales chuckled.
"He would normally have it all done by now, but recently with all the commotion, hasn't had the time." Wales said still chuckling a bit. I felt a little guilty, but knew better than to go interrupt him while he's doing research.
"So what will we do until he's done?" I asked. Wales shrugged and looked at the clock.
"I have to check up on the dragons so you'll have to ask America and Canada." He said walking towards the back door.
"I propose we play a game!" Alfred yelled. A bang sounded upstairs which made us look up with scared faces. It was silent before Alfred "whispered" meaning he spoke at a normal volume. "I have my Xbox on me, so we can play anything on it." He continued. I shook my head and Alfred pouted.
"How about a movie?" North suggested. Alfred nodded enthusiastically and Matthew sighed.
"No horror movies Alfred." He said. I jumped forgetting he was there for a second. Alfred pouted and whined while North picked out a movie.
"How about a Harry Potter movie?" North asked pulling out all 8 of them. We were all in agreement except for Alfred who just continued to whine about how he wanted to watch a horror movie. However he was overrun and was forced to sit back down. We put one in at random and sat down with the lights off. The movie went smoothly and by the time Arthur came back down we'd made it through a few of the movies.
"Alright everyone! This meeting will go smoothly and…. HEY! Are you even listening to me!" Arthur yelled. We laughed and he crossed his arms with a scowl.
