#01 – Air
North realised with a jolt that it was harder to breath in this strange place called London, he stared at the man who held his hand tightly within his; thought he'd give the strange man a chance… even if he took him to such a strange place where the air didn't like being breathed in…
#02 – Apples
England had found it hilarious the first time Northern Ireland had found an apple growing in the tree he always enjoyed playing in, he came screaming in and made England go all the way down the garden and asked him to fix his tree, because it HAD to be ill!
#03 – Beginning
North never talked to anyone when he had first met his brothers, no he grabbed onto England's hand but refused to say anything to the man, who didn't push him, and it was a few years before he started talking to the Nation who had found him; he refused to really talk to his other brothers.
#04 – Bugs
England shook his head slightly as he watched North sit on the edge of the porch a large book of insects on his lap as he tried to identify each of them with the said book, but he never picked them up claiming it would disturb his subjects.
#05 – Coffee
As North started growing up he started wanting to make England the weird drink he was obsessed with; he asked his other brothers what the drink was… sadly they had given him the wrong drink to make.
#06 - Dark
England hated the dark look that came over North every now and then; he knew it was to do with all the fights the poor lad was being forced to go through, and England was determined to solve it somehow even if he meant North having to head back over to Ireland…
#07 – Despair
North felt nothing, he was silent most of the time; he was weary why was he even still around… but whenever he thought of just giving in he'd see England and he'd find self running over to the older Nation and feeling the despair come through the emptiness… as well as the hope and the feeling of being loved…
#08 – Doors
There were many doors in this world and England had seen almost all of them all; heading over to North's own land the lad, now taller than him, clinging to him; he was going to give the boy the chance to feel at peace even if just a little; that's the first time they came across the front door of the boy's newly purchased house…
#09 - Drink
North dragged England to the pub with him; he wasn't letting his older brothers hog England, especially as they'd had more than enough time to have done so, seeing as how old they all were.
#10 - Duty
England always protected North and when his brothers got in a mood about it he just claimed it was his duty; sadly all his brothers knew what a wonderful liar he was.
#11 - Earth
When North had seen England he thought it was so large; now he was meeting the whole world he couldn't help but want to stay hidden behind his older brother.
#12 - End
England worried for North, if Scotland got independence, Wales would probably follow… and would that be the end of the sweet little Nation who enjoyed clinging onto him?
#13 - Fall
North never talked to anyone other than England, he just couldn't find it in his self to trust anyone else after everything he had been through, but when he saw England fall to the floor that fateful day in 2005, he found his self screaming for his other brothers to help, because really how was he to know that bombing his brothers underground would hurt him so much?
#14 - Fire
England had on more than one occasion caught North glancing between his and Ireland's flags, a lighter in hand, flicking it open and shut as though deciding which flag deserved to be burnt and which he'd keep safe… for now.
#15 - Flexible
Hong Kong had complained to North about how stiff England was once before; after accidently walking in on one of his older brothers visiting England, he'd have to say Hong Kong was definitely wrong.
#16 - Flying
England was worried for North, he knew how awful it was to have your people divided; his people always were one way or another after all, so when he saw the poor Nation having both his and Ireland's flag flying high when he paid a visit, he couldn't help but want to start a fight with Ireland.
#17 - Food
North wasn't too fond of England's cooking, but he wasn't going to complain after all he didn't want England to be saddened about his failure of a meal… he just wouldn't eat too much and get something else later.
#18 - Foot
England held North as the strawberry-blonde Nation cried into his shoulder, he sighed sadly knowing he was going to have to help North take another step forward, the poor kid was too scared to walk on his at the moment.
#19 – Grave
North felt guilty for yelling at England earlier that day, as he found his self face to face with one of the many graveyards spread around his brother's land, he had a sudden wave of realisation: of course England knew how it felt to feel your people dying… how could he not?
#20 - Green
Whenever England looked into North's eyes he would find his self greatly confused… there was a colour between emerald and turquoise?
#21 - Head
When North had outgrown England he felt greatly disappointed: he liked being a head smaller!
#22 – Hollow
England held North close when he came to him crying, but he didn't dare squeeze the boy too hard: he looked empty and that scared the older Nation into thinking the boy would just break…
#23 - Honour
North had always looked up to England, the Nation just screamed of nobility and strength; North couldn't understand why there wasn't thousands of others that looked up to his brother…
#24 - Hope
As England headed towards Ireland with his prime minister he couldn't help but hope everything would turn out alright… he hoped North was alright…
#25 – Light
The first time North had fallen from the stress and pain; there were two tunnels with lights at the end and he only chose the right one to get back because he heard his brothers panicked yells, calling for him.
#26 - Lost
Somewhere along his path as an Empire he had lost his way… he didn't want to be harsh like Rome, or misguided like Spain, but somehow he had… and with North following him nowadays he hoped he never got lost on any path again…
#27 – Metal
North had to laugh as his brothers stared at him in shock, so he liked Rock Metal, it wasn't that surprising really was it (after all look at the music he grew up with)?
#28 - New
Ireland had yelled at England, cursed him, told him the only reason he looked after North and liked the boy was because he was new… he knew he'd prove that idiot wrong one day.
#29 - Old
North always felt insecure around his brothers… they were all so old compared to him and he swore they were keeping something about their pasts from him…
#30 – Peace
In theory when Ireland left their family there should've had some semblance of peace… of course when he returned from Ireland with North in hand, he realised their problems were only starting… once again.
#31 - Poison
North had found England's poison supply, God knows why he even had one in the first place, when he was younger and he'd always wondered what it'd taste like… for some reason he always imagined it would taste like his brother… not that he knew what England tasted like!
#32 - Pretty
The first word England had gotten out of North was pretty, and still to this date he had no clue what the boy had been referring too.
#33 - Rain
Sometimes North loved the rain it washed away the bad feelings that his brothers didn't want him, but then sometimes he hated the rain when it washed away the happy feelings of being loved by his brothers.
#34 – Regret
England regretted a lot of the things he had done over the centuries and sometimes he had no way to say sorry, that's why he promised his self not to regret anything about his youngest brother, then he wouldn't even have to worry about the sorry afterwards.
#35 - Roses
North decided that England's national flower suited him perfectly, he was lovely from a distance but getting too close could be dangerous and could cause serious injuries.
#36 – Secret
England and the other older nations had thought it best to hide a lot from the younger nations, about the fact Germany was the Holy Roman Empire, about the fact that Netherlands was the nation that abandoned Australia, about the fact that North was born through a war and it was all Ireland's and England's fault he was suffering now, about… the list was far too long, but they had to keep these secrets so the younger nations didn't suffer…
#37 – Snakes
North wasn't afraid of animals, especially not snakes, but when Australia had shown the boy one of his snakes and it had bit him, he couldn't help but freak out- he was going to die now wasn't he?
#38 - Snow
England hated having to go to North's house through the winter, not that he was going to let the lad know that, the snow that piled up was awful and England had a hard time standing straight most the time.
#39 - Solid
As North watched Canada fade in and out of existence he couldn't help but be thankful that he was clear and solid and that England's eyes never passed him… he did feel a tad sorry for Canada though.
#40 - Spring
Spring was a time England found his self enjoying, with the snow melting and the green coming through; it seemed to be the only time of the year when North's eyes would light up with joy when the boy was suffering from the troubles; it made England enjoy the spring all the more.
#41 – Stable
Whenever they had to visit the royal family North would run off and hide in the stable where all the horses were in the hopes that England would travel that far away from the building to find him: he always did…
#42 - Strange
England had noticed long ago the strange tendencies North displayed when something was going wrong, like pulling at the strand of hair that flicked over his left eye, the way ever fifth step he took he'd tap his foot ever so slightly that it was barely noticeable, he also noticed that North did so more around Scotland and Ireland.
#43 – Summer
To North summer was an excuse, an excuse to stay over England's house because it was further to the south so obviously warmer… but that was just an excuse.
#44 – Taboo
England knew a relationship between brothers was frowned upon (not that his older brothers cared about that anymore), so when North kissed him on the lips, he was thankful that that was as far as the boy wanted to go.
#45 – Ugly
North had never thought of England as ugly, even with the eyebrows (not that he didn't have a matching pair), the eyebrows just matched England's face and North thought he just wouldn't look right without them.
#46 - War
War brought death… but, England thought, North was proof it brought birth: to a new existence or just a way of life, war brought life as well as death…
#47 - Water
North wanted to hate water… it made it harder to visit England, but… it made it harder for Ireland to visit too… so he couldn't quite find the heart to do so…
#48 - Welcome
England smiled up at North who looked sheepish on the other side of the door… England shook his head, no matter what North was always welcome in his house.
#49 - Winter
North found the winter the most entertaining season, watching England spread his arms to stop his self from falling (he always refused his brothers offer of help); then trying to grab the air as though it'll keep him up… winter was definitely the most amusing season.
#50 - Wood
England had first met North in the woodlands and as he wandered through the very same one he had found the boy in he couldn't help but thank the sprites that danced around the place… thank you for leading me to the sweetest Nation, England had had the pleasure of knowing…
A/N: So… SORRY FOR THE WAIT! (Northern Ireland was a bugger to get a good personality from, I didn't want to make him like other UK siblings because he's much younger and the fact the lad didn't have too much history didn't help out).
Anyway, well Northern Ireland I did end up portraying as a quieter character than his brothers (not that he wouldn't be able to hold his own in a fight with any of them), but yes I did this, because let's face it. He would've came around as Northern Ireland after Ireland and England's war, would've had to suffer World War 2 (when his brothers would be getting blown up) as a child, and then the troubles, and he's only stopped getting bombings and such in recent years but the people over there are still iffy with the whole Ireland and UK thing… best not be brought up actually.
And why did I make him clingy? Simply because Northern Ireland voted to stay with England, became a part of the UK when the rest left it just suggests they like England (which wouldn't explain the wars but shush!) The bit with the lighter shows his uncertainty with being in the UK and a part of Ireland- you really do have to feel sorry for the lad. He hasn't even been around all that long. And of cause nowadays we're having all this talk about breaking the UK up, the boy's going to not trust anyone until everything calms down!
Ok and Wales is next and last (you know you HAVE to save the best for last XD)
P.S. the snake Australia had probably wasn't even one of his own or he probably de-poisoned its fangs or something like that! XD
