Ficlets about various countries, most of them funny. Almost exclusively Gen (no pairings). Latest: "Bach" about a music request by Austria, "Morning" about Austria and Switzerland, and "City of a Hundred Spires" about Czechia and "her" Prague.

12. Food Choices (France & Liechtenstein)

Food Choices (France & Liechtenstein)

'Um, Francis … you remember I told you I've become a vegetarian, don't you?'

'Oui, ma fleurette, je m'en souviens bien', France replied, giving Liechtenstein his most beautiful smile.

'Y— yes, I did. So I was wondering …' She didn't know how to put it without offending him.

'Mais oui, ma chère, I cooked all of those beautiful moules just for you. I hope you like them.' He beamed at her.

'Yes, I really appreciate that, but …'

'Don't worry, it wasn't too much of a hassle. I also like moules a lot.'

Liechtenstein sighed inwardly and gave up. Quite obviously, France's understanding of vegetarianism needed getting used to, just like himself.

Notes:

Seems like quite some people (not only French ones) can't imagine being a vegetarian also means not eating fish and seafood.

Translations:
- Oui, ma fleurette, je m'en souviens bien = Yes, my little flower, I remember it well
- Mais oui, ma chère = Why, yes, my dear
- une moule = a mussel
