Hey, I've decided to continue this, hope you enjoy!

Needless to say the meeting didn't get off to a good start. Especially when Arthur walked in with a silent Leon and an animated Keith clinging to him, they were furious.
All the nations had waited with bated breath for the adorable English man they had fallen for, each for their own reasons... And he turned up with other men. Well, they were technically his kids.
"Iggy due! Come and sit next to me!" called Alfred, leaping out of his seat and grabbing Arthur's arm with a huge dopey grin on his face, one that everyone noticed was slightly off. Well, everyone except for Arthur of course.
"Sorry Alfred, I've already promised to sit with Leo and Keith. They don't come to meeting's often, I hope you don't mind" said Arthur apologetically, pulling out a seat between them. They grinned evilly at the rest of the world.

"Ve~~ they're scaaary! Why are they clinging to Artu?" asked Feliciano confused...and slightly murderous.
"Oui! Wait, Feli darling- aren't you scared of mon petite Lapin?" frowned Francis, forgetting his annoyance in his curiosity.
"I was...But Artu was super nice to me! I forgot my pasta bowl in the meeting room and he came aaaalll the way to Italy to give it back!" giggled Feliciano, smiling widely. Arthur, realising he was being talked about turned crimson and started stuttering.
"He was coming with the clover bastard to visit me, idiota!" snapped Lovino.
"Alright that's enough out of you Lovino, be nicer to your brother" came a disapproving voice from the doorway: Alana- Northern Ireland their host.
And to everyone's surprise he shut up. He crossed his arms, scowling and leant back in his seat but didn't utter a word.

"Right! Now that that's settled, lets get down to business. I hate politics and I hate dealing with you rabid squirrels but I'm sucking it up so you should too! Everyone will get their turn to speak and if ANYONE interrupts me, they get a bullet in their head, courtesy of the gun I'm borrowing from Switzy. Is that clear?"
Basch scrambled for his belt and scowled when he realised that Alana had indeed grabbed his gun. He sent her an exasperated look- this was a regular occurrence between them- and slumped in defeat.
Realising this, everyone began to panic. Well, everyone except Gilbert and Herakles, who were now sat beside her. Herakles chuckled- Chuckled! Gilbert high fived her and Arthur just rolled his eyes.
Well, at least no one fought.
Alana 1, world 0.

The meeting went off without a hitch, Alana kept everyone in check; snapping at Ivan, tutting at Alfred and gently scolding Feliciano for talking about irrelevant matters. Ludwig was impressed, she even controlled his brother! It gave them all time to discuss idea's properly and everyone got a chance to contribute- it also gave him a chance to watch Arthur.
The way he smiled gently at Leon and laughed loudly at Keith; Ludwig hadn't seen him smile this much in a long time! Usually he scowled at everything which was adorable but...Arthur's smile made his heart skip a beat and Ludwig felt himself falling in love all over again.
But Keith and Leon being so close really didn't sit well with him...Maybe he could get Alana to make a seating chart and finally sit next to Arthur.
Yes, that was a perfect idea...

Yao however was furious, he didn't even notice when Ivan placed his hand on his knee, he was too busy engaging in a jealous glaring match with his son and grinding his teeth. This displeased Ivan but he didn't protest; Alana made it clear she wasn't afraid to use the gun and he knew she wouldn't be aiming to kill...
Well, at least not his actual life but definitely his sex life.
Bye bye little Ivan.
Their amber eyes told a clear story:
He's mine!
Not if I get him first.
You wouldn't dare...
Just watch me.
Really! Hong was such an inpertinent little brat-aru! He had no idea where he got it from; to Arthur he was a little angel! Such a kiss up...But he was just a child, Arthur had been his once (he conveniently forgot that Arthur dumped him because he was clingy and spiteful) and he knew him better than anyone.
Except for HIM.
Damn that Treaty...
/ / / / / /
Arthur hadn't had so much fun in a long time, this meeting was so... Peaceful. No fighting or Alfred and Francis annoying him. Plus he finally got some time to spend with Keith and Leon!
"Dad?"
"Hmm?" Arthur looked up from his tea.
"...How are you?"
"I'm fine sweetie, are you alright?" asked Arthur gently.
"Yeah...I missed this...Yao doesn't like me spending time with you..."
"I see" said Arthur, narrowing his eyes dangerously at his ex.
Mission Accomplished. Leon smiled inwardly; his dad was awesome.

Alana and Gilbert were whispering again, Herakles could hear them but he was always privy to Alana's thoughts. They'd known each other so long they could practically read each other's minds and talking to each other was as easy as breathing.
His mouth quirked up in a smile at that thought.
"Well, it's working...They're all realising their feelings for him" said Alana with a smile.
"Yeah but Ozzy and Firecracker are total cock blockers" sniggered Gilbert.
"Hmmm, we'll have to do something about that... Hey, what do you think your brother's odds are?"
"Kesesese Luddy totally loves Art, I think if they got a chance they'd be all over each other!"
"Yeah but Alfred and Francis are going to be had to get rid of" grimaced Alana.
"Hah, Alfred's just a kid and Francey pants will be easily distracted if we set him up with someone else... Maybe we could scare them off?" said Gilbert seriously.
"I think Scotland will do the trick" he grinned wickedly.
"Damn your cold Lanney!"
"Obviously, you should already know that by now Gilbert"
Herakles shook his head, this wouldn't end well. Not for Arthur, not for the lover boys and especially not for Alana.
But it might for Scotland.
