Do not own Hetalia: Axis Powers or Soul Eater.
No Beta so errors are my own.
Some of this chapter may not make sense unless you have read my other stories Grandma Death and The Adventures of Jack Frost in America chapter 14. Especially the OC, the Kingdom of Hawaii.
1890's
America was pacing in front of the mirror. He sighed, then turned to the mirror. He breathed on the mirror before drawing out some numbers, "42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door." When the mirror shimmer, a familiar comical looking mask and cloak showed itself.
The Grim Reaper slightly bounce and then tilts his head, "Hello, hello."
Forcing a smile America says, "Hey Death."
Death gave a happy bounce and ask, "So how is the getting colonies thing going for you?"
America grimace at the reminder, "Lets avoid talking about it please. Beside, you know how it been going."
Death bounce a bit and then said, "I know you need something of me; otherwise you would have ask to come to the Death Room for the free coffee."
America gave a long sigh, "I am calling in that favor; you know about Hawaii obviously."
Death happily nodded, "I have her on the tod list."
America looked up in horror, "She is going to die?! When?"
Death swayed and said, "Everything eventually dies."
America gave him a deadpan look, "You know what I mean."
Death says nothing.
America clench his hands and gave a long look at the entity, "I want to save her from dying, it is because of me after all."
Death resume his bouncing, "Why do you want to save her? Because she is pretty? Because you feel guilty that you will be the reason another 'nation' will die? Because she remind you of your mother? Because…"
America snapped, "Because I want her to help me!" Death stop his bouncing while America continued, "I have few nations that I would trust with my children, most being family of some kind or having kids of their own. Despite the fact I have tried to stay away from Europe and its poisonous attitudes, I have to break from my isolation." Giving a sigh, America continue, "I may have sworn away getting romantic attached to other nations, but now, I want to have someone who will always be there and can take care of my children without the issues of it being another political entity like it would be for my siblings." Turning around and looking down at the ground that suddenly seems more interesting, "Since Hawaii may eventually part of me, she is the most qualified with the least amount of grief."
Death gave a hum, "Ask her to marry you."
America sharply turn around and stare, "What!"
Death gave a tilting shrug, "She will be bonded to you in more than one way and if she were to adopt your children…mothers have just as much as a claim to their children as their fathers."
America stare, "That will not work, marriage can be easily broken by divorce, annulment, or death; especially once other nations learn of her and see us together as being a threat."
Death bounce happily, "Well normal marriages maybe, but like that godfather agreement, I can make your marriage contract binding. And about the other nations, well, you are under no obligation to tell them that you are getting married. Except for those that you will need to become witnesses and your siblings and Germany can fill the role."
Giving a gulp, America demanded, "And what benefit will that be?!"
Death seem to eager to goad the nation, "Well with some modifications, I can have the marriage impossible to break through normal means. In fact the only way to end the marriage would be 'Death till do you part.' Especially if I were to pour some power into the contract. In fact I can even help extend her life beyond what was expected."
America stare hard at the Reaper before slipping out, "How can you save her?"
Death gave what he assume is a grin, "By tying her life to yours."
What?! While he never voice the statement, it was clear that the expression on the nation's face betray his thoughts.
"According to my readings, Hawai'i is expect to die soon either or in the mid-20th century," stated Death cheerfully.
America stare in shock. Giving a deep breath, he ask timidly, "What about when her life is binded to mine?"
"Hmm… I think you two will be together for a long time. Your deaths will be a long off in fact. Till Death do you part in fact."
America frowned, "Will we be happy in marriage?"
Death snorted, "What do you take me for? Uncle Destiny? I only see those who are born and those who die not what happens in between."
America slouch in a nearby chair, "I…" he ran his hands though his hair.
"Besides, according to my mother, she is expecting to have a daughter someday and her being around would help with that," chipped in Death.
America stare hard, "You know very well that I swore off those kinds of things after that incident."
"Yes, yes it was traumatizing and would have gone worse had Bunnymund not been there to save you. And you swore off interactions of that kind." Commented the Reaper, he paused, "Although you seem to have change your mind about the isolationist attitude."
America's eyes twitch, "You know how us nations tend to be."
Death seem a bit surprised at the annoyed tone, "And there is nothing wrong with that. So what do you think of the marriage?"
America pressed his lips in defeat, Death has a good point and sighed, "How is it done?"
Death seem to be happy to finally have his way, "Well first off the marriage ceremony is done in according to the Catholic rites…"
Tod should be German for death, but I could be wrong so correct me if you know.
Also the Catholic bit is for a future point that I may or may not do.
