Chapter 22: Turkey X Greece

Greece was troubled he had no idea what to do about Australia he had been shit talking the Kirklands so Greece defended them since he was their friend and he didn't let anyone mistreat his friends. Now he was pissed at him and wanted a fight. No doubt Greece could take him but that didn't mean he wanted to fight. They were all at a party France was hosting now and Greece was doing what he could to avoid conflict by staying away from Australia.

"Wouldn't you have more fun if you spent time with Turkey," Cyprus asked walking up and giving him a drink.

"Yeah well I'm avoiding someone right now so it's better to lay low," Greece sighed rubbing the back of his neck looking irritated.

"Why are you avoiding someone," he asked concerned.

"He wants a fight I don't want to fight because it's stupid and childish."

"Who is this he?"

"Don't worry about it. Go have fun. Egypt has been making eyes at you all night," he teased.

"Shut up no he hasn't," Cyprus blushed.

"Has too," he chuckled ruffling his hair.

"Well then you should have noticed Turkey has been giving you puppy eyes all night because you won't go to spend time with him," he chided.

"If I do the idiot might approach and Turkey will get into a fight. I'll make it up to him later or something. I'll take him on a date," Greece sighed.

"You better. He looks pitiful without you around him. He's always lonely when you don't get to spend time with him," Cyprus said slightly amused.

"Now this looks like a party. I've been looking for you," a voice sounded and Greece huffed annoyed.

"Cyprus go spend time with Egypt," he sighed and crosses his arms at Australia.

"Now now don't be hostile I just want to talk and we can come to an agreement. Avoid conflict," he smiled walking to him holding his hands in surrender.

"Nothing to talk about keep moving," Greece countered.

"That's not very nice," he smirked getting in his space making him back a step into the wall and Australia slammed his hands beside his head and leaned forward threateningly. "I just want to make some things clear that's all. So, you'll know not to stick your business where it doesn't belong next time. There doesn't have to be conflict if you stay to yourself."

"There doesn't have to be conflict no matter what I do. Back out of my space you're annoying," Greece said coldly.

"Make me," Australia smirked.

"He got a death wish or something? I wonder if they're going to fight. Looks like they're going to go off soon. Turkey is not going to like this. My bets on Greece. Turkey will murder Australia," voices of a group a countries murmured around them noticing the scene and threatening posture Australia had it just spelled out trouble.

"Move from my space," Greece demanded more irritated now that people were watching.

"Like I said. Make. Me."

"I'll make you," Turkey's deadly tone came from behind him as a large hand grabbed his arm snatched him to the side and slammed him against the wall. "Put your hands on him and I'll kill you. I better not catch you bothering my boyfriend again or you and I will be having a very long and painful confrontation," he sneered lifting him by his collar making him eye level with him.

"Whatever," he spat. "Maybe teach you bitch to watch his mouth!"

"Say that again I dare you," Turkey said darkly.

"Teach. Your. Bitch. To. Watch. His. Mouth."

Turkey had him plowed through the wall in two seconds flat.

"TURKEY," Greece exclaimed shocked.

"Normally I would complain but if he didn't do it, I would have," France deadpanned from the crowd that had formed.

Turkey was straddling Australia beating him senseless for daring corner his boyfriend in the first place, and having the nerve to disrespect him to Turkey's face. Greece went to him and started prying him off.

"He's not worth it that's enough," he scolded.

"He insulted you. He was being threatening towards you before that."

"He's as threatening as mouse. I'm not bothered by it. I'm bothered you broke France's wall and are beating someone who's not worth the effort. Come on lets just go," Greece soothed rubbing his shoulders.

"I still want to kill him whether he's worth the effort or not," he sneered.

"Let it go. Please? For me?"

"That's not fair you know I would do anything for you," Turkey groaned climbing off the hugging his precious boyfriend.

"Which is why I'm mean and use it against you," Greece teased smiling and gave him a quick kiss. "Come on. Let's go back to the hotel. We'll talk more about this on our way."

"Fine," he scowled and led him away from the crowd who was gushing over their cuteness and shipping them harder than ever before.

As they were walking back Turkey glanced at him and smiled softly. Normally in a situation like this someone in Greece's position would take it offensively when someone did what Turkey did. Men had a thing where they were prideful and didn't want anyone intervening in their battles like it made them less of a man if they received help from someone. Greece wasn't upset about that. He had even exasperatedly rolling his eyes as soon as he saw Turkey like he knew it would happen.

There was no reason for him to feel Turkey was treating him like he needed his help and was too weak to do something about the situation, and like the smart level headed guy he was he didn't take it like that. Turkey was glad to have someone who understood he didn't protect them because he thought they were incompetent or weak, he protected them because he loved them and didn't want even a single mark on them. Greece understood it perfectly and never gave him a hard time about it. Though he often tried his best to hide issues in fear of worrying Turkey. Like this situation apparently, Turkey would get the full story and scold him later. For now, he was just glad Greece wasn't angry at him.

Greece leaned into his side sighing. Turkey wrapped an arm around his waist and squeezed him tightly. They walked in silence a moment until Greece finally spoke up.

"He was insulting the Kirklands and I defended them. It was all so childish I didn't want anything to be made of it. He still wanted a fight so that's what started the whole scene at the party. I thought it would only ruin your night so I didn't want to tell you and then you be worried all night. That or you would have confronted him and it would have caused a bigger scene. I just wanted to avoid conflict. Sorry," he murmured leaning into him further to get affection.

"You're an idiot don't hide things like that. I understand your reasoning but it still hurts you didn't trust me enough to listen to you if you had told me about it and said don't start anything with him," he frowned.

"I do trust you," he said feelings starting to get hurt at the implication that he didn't trust his boyfriend.

"Then why did you not say anything?"

"Because I didn't want you to worry about me all night," he whimpered. "I wanted you to have fun and enjoy yourself."

"Hey easy I didn't mean to upset you. Greece don't cry," he murmured petting his hair.

"I'm not going to cry stupid," he denied scrubbing at his watering eyes.

"Of course not, my mistake," he chuckled. "It's ok I'm not mad. Not at you at least. Just promise to next time let me know so we can handle it together."

"Ok," he agreed.

"Then it's settled nothing to worry about anymore," Turkey smiled kissing the top of his head.

"Thank you for understanding. Also protecting me earlier," Greece smiled tilting his head and kissing his cheek.

"No problem," he chuckled squeezing him lightly.
