AmeCan Ice Creamery (Hetalia)

Author: Ashynarr

Summary: Since I know I have followers who do like AmeCan and those who don't, I've decided that the best solution is to make a new drabble archive to hold all my specifically shippy stuff. AmeCan, Canadacest, and Americacest all included in here.

"Gah, I think the hem's a bit tight-"

"It'll be fine, just walk around a bit and it should start to loosen up. Besides, tight isn't too bad a thing when you don't have the hips I do to hold it up."

"If you're sure…"

Eleanor laughed, slapping her counterpart's shoulder. "C'mon, you look great, and the guests are gonna be here soon. Now let's get downstairs and get the food out for everyone, alright?"

Alfred shook his head and smiled. "Lead the way then."

She grabbed his hand and started pulling him along without resistance, he for the most part content to let her enthusiasm start to work him up as well. She'd been up and bouncing over their birthday party since four that morning, throwing together the last pieces of their outfits and making sure the cakes they'd made last night had set properly while he'd clung to sleep until dawn.

By the time they reached the kitchen Alfred had the energy he needed to start a small fight, grabbing one of the bags of patriotic glitter and splitting it open before throwing it at her back, sending the contents everywhere and drawing a surprised "What the fuck?" from her before she caught up to the situation and turned on him with a vicious grin.

"So that's how you wanna play, huh?" She challenged.

He just match her grin. "Bring it."

The arrival of the Canadians soon after drew them out of it, Alfred scrambling for the door while Eleanor tried to at least wipe off the table so snacks could be put down. Wiping a hand through his hair to dislodge some of the confetti, he opened it and beamed, ignoring the two sets of raised eyebrows at his current state. "We've got snacks ready already, but look out for glitter and shit on the floor unless you wanna take a dive."

"I like your outfit," Emily complimented as she stepped in, Matthew following after and shaking his head while muttering about insane neighbors. "You pull off a skirt pretty well."

Alfred beamed. "Ellie made them - she's wearing the matching suit."

"The fabric was on sale, what else was I supposed to do, go for boring clothes?" Said woman asked from the kitchen doorway, large bag of chips under her arm. "How could I not go for sexy half-naked patriots and presidents on our birthday clothes?"

"It's definitely you," Matthew replied neutrally.

"That reminds me, Em, did you get the stuff I sent you yet?" Eleanor turned to the female Canadian. "I was hoping it'd get up to you in time, but I didn't see you using it at your party."

"I got it, thanks," Emily grinned widely. "It's absolutely lovely, but I want to save it for a special occasion. That and I didn't have time to finish the dress before the party."

"Maybe you can wear it for Thanksgiving and we can be like twinsies," The American woman decided, drawing a choked laugh from Alfred and a horrified look from Matthew.

"You're telling me she has that in the house?" He asked weakly.

"Naw, I got her something else," Eleanor shook her head. "Though this is awesome, it's pretty American, and I figured she'd want something more to her tastes."

He glanced from Alfred, who was biting his knuckle due to knowing exactly what said gift was, to the now flushed Emily, sighing deeply. "Do I want to know?"

"You'll find out in October," She promised, laughing softly when he just groaned in pain.

The doorbell rang, causing all four to jump before laughing it off. "You getting the door this time?" Alfred asked.

"As long as you get the rest of the food where it needs to be."

"Righto," He saluted, turning to the Canadians. "You guys mind helping me finish up prep?"

"Alright."

By the time the party was in full swing, Alfred had relaxed considerably after hearing more than one compliment about Ellie's work, figuring her crazy mix-up for this year was definitely paying off more than that Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart cake duo would have been (though they were so being used next year for sure!) In fact, he was pleased enough that he barely noticed Ivan sneaking up until a large hand was slapped down onto his shoulder.

"I see you've decided to change things up a bit this year," The Russian man noted.

"Ellie's idea, decided it couldn't hurt. People don't seem to mind so far."

"I suppose they wouldn't, would they?" He frowned thoughtfully, looking down Alfred and back up. "Though I think your other half could have loosen it a bit before sending you out here to show off."

Alfred didn't have any time to decide if that was an insult or just noticing Alfred's still minor discomfort with the skirt hem before Ivan was sent reeling forward to fall on his face, Eleanor stepping up from behind with a snarl and a baseball bat.

"You got issues with my designs, Ruskie?" She asked, kicking the groaning body before turning to Alfred. "Let's go open presents! I think Vicki sent another cursed pendant and I wanna see if I can get Jul to put it on this time."

"Why do you always try to shoved cursed shit off on our friends?" He asked, more amused than anything.

"Because it'd just ruin the party if all my hair fell out in the middle of it, and besides, it's not like Artie doesn't fix it later, so it's good for a few laughs." Eleanor gave him an innocent smile.

"Or it could be because they keep stealing the last slice of cake."

"I called dibs on my birthday, and they ignored it!"

Alfred laughed, accepting the gifts shoved into his arms and figuring that overall this was shaping up to be a pretty awesome birthday.

(Watching Julchen turn bright purple had been a hit, hitting vimeo and youtube seconds after she'd finished the last bar of a very crude and swear-laden German sonnet.)
