Awesome DVDs (Prussia/Austria)
Austria sat on his sofa, busying himself with needle and thread. He was sewing the hem of one of Hungary's traditional dresses, which was splayed over his lap. Prussia slouched next to him, watching an English-language DVD.
'What is this series you're watching?', Austria asked after some time.
'It's one of those sitcoms I borrowed from Alfred', Prussia replied. 'It's called How I Met Your Mother. This is Episode 58 of 208.'
Austria suppressed a sigh. Does this mean he'll watch the remaining 150 episodes in my presence as well?, he wondered. Looks like I have to go through everything.

'Look!', Prussia cried out.
Austria looked up from his needlework. 'What is it?'
'Look at that Barney guy!' Prussia pointed at a blond man. 'He's a total jerk, but he gets all the girls! Isn't that cool?'
'You're sounding like America', Austria commented dryly, watching as 'that Barney guy' went looking for a woman who was trying to warn others from sleeping with him. Somehow, the man's obnoxious behaviour reminded Austria of someone, but he couldn't quite put his finger to it. Then, Barney started to write a blog entry. As he finished with 'I'm awesome', the penny dropped.

'He really gets all the girls', Prussia repeated, put off by Austria's reaction.
'Yes, that's probably what sets you apart.' Austria still pondered over the striking resemblance he had noticed. 'Besides, isn't the one who plays Barney gay, anyway?' Sometimes, it proved useful to eavesdrop when Hungary and Liechtenstein were chatting.
'Whatever', Prussia said. 'But what do you mean, that sets us apart?'
'Because it's me who got the girl.'
'You mean, you got the girl's dress to sew. And who says I didn't get the girl?' He reached over, pulling Austria into his embrace.
'Not a girl', Austria hissed.

Notes:
Yeah, I know, this is all just very silly. But it's a triple drabble, with precisely a hundred words each (according to Word)! I'm really no good at formal rules, so that's at least some kind of achievement …
The episode of How I Met Your Mother they're watching is Season 3, Episode 14 (or 58, if you don't count the seasons), called The Bracket, originally titled The Final Four. Austria is right about Neil Patrick Harris (Barney Stinson) being gay. I must admit I only ever watched, like, three episodes of HIMYM, but some of my friends kept filling me in.
