Day 25: Gazing into each others' eyes

Lukas had an almost-obsession with Kiku's eyes.

Well, it made sense; his own eyes were dull and flat, so Kiku's not-quite-black pools held a great deal of fascination for him. The Japanese's eyes gleamed beautifully in the sunlight, like light hitting a deep lake, level upon level of silt making the water murky brown, but still impossibly entrancing.

When the Japanese was thinking, his eyes would be miles away, staring into some other world that only he could see. Sometimes a shimmer of gold was visible, far below the surface, when he considered magic or stared into the world of myths. On rare occasions, there could be seen the faintest hint of red.

Regardless, Kiku had the most stunning eyes Lukas had ever seen. Unfortunately, it was easy to get distracted by them.

"Lukas-kun? Lukas-kun!"

"Eh? Oh, sorry, Kiku. I was just thinking."

Kiku smiled, those goddamn eyes lighting up. "What about?"

Lukas smiled back. "Just about how beautiful you are."

"Stop it, Ai, you're making me blush," Kiku deadpanned.

The Norwegian smirked. "That was the plan."

"Honestly…" Kiku rolled his eyes.

Lukas chuckled. "Come now, kjære, don't pretend you don't like being flattered."

"I never said that," the Japanese replied quickly.

"Of course you didn't."

Kiku was, in fact, guilty of the same crime as Lukas. He found his boyfriend's calm eyes most interesting.

There was just something about how… unbothered they always seemed that made him nearly unable to look away. This made meetings and other such public events rather tricky.

"Hey, Japan!"

"Hm?" Kiku blinked, dragging his focus away from his boyfriend's eyes as the Norwegian took notes. "Gomenasai, America-san, I was… distracted. Could you repeat that?"

"I was saying that we should totally have a sleepover at some point! Y'know, all of us!"

"Oh. Well, maybe at some point…" His voice trailed off. "Um, hai, of course."

Germany sighed and snapped his fingers in front of Japan's eyes. "Japan! Pay attention!"

"Oh! My apologies, Germany-san. I've had… a lot of meetings lately. I guess I'm just-" He paused to fake a yawn. "I suppose I'm just tired."

Prussia shot him a disbelieving look. Japan returned a 'Don't-Look-At-Me-Like-That' look.

Germany facepalmed. "…Well, I doubt we're going to get anything else done today. Dismissed!"

And Germany's complete devotion to his allies was proven once again. "Arigato, Ludwig-san," Japan murmured, yawning again for good measure.

Romano, walking past, slapped him upside the head lightly. "Really, ninja bastard?"

"Hush, Lovi-kun," Kiku replied calmly, smiling lightly. Lovino chuckled.

"Go party with your boyfriend."

"I don't know what you're talking about," the Japanese replied haughtily.

"Oh, you don't?" Lukas asked, leaning against the wall beside the pair.

"Not in the slightest," Kiku teased.

The Norwegian smiled, pulling the other nation away from the wall to look him in the eye. "You have the prettiest eyes," he murmured.

"Do I?" Japan murmured. "You're too kind, Lukas-kun."

"Oh, it's not a compliment," Lukas teased. "Just a fact."

Kiku smiled and kissed him.

Shit ending is shit. Well, I wrote this at eleven last night… I looked at the clock and realized 'Oh shit, I haven't finished tomorrow's chapter'. I saw The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies instead.

It's another headcanon of mine that Italy and Japan have Germany wrapped around their fingers. Come on, look at them. You can't tell me that Germany isn't willing to do just about anything for them.

Next up: Getting married.

See ya~!
