Nihao, aru! I have decided to continue so I hope you enjoy the story so far and will enjoy this chapter. I tried to make the action enter the story quick and ended up writing a surprise which you will see at the end! I had a little trouble writing the ending but I hope you don't mind. The beginning seems a bit shaky (to me) and is one of the other reasons why I added some action in the end. This is a fanfic for Representative of Spain. Please review and favorite ^^ ~

Chapter 2

My lip quivered as I trembled behind Sealand. He suddenly crouched down with an agonizing sigh, making me yelp a small squeak. My eyes landed on top of his blue sailor's hat and I quietly watched after him. "At this rate," he began, clutching his forehead, "we really will be forced into a marriage with each other."

Standing quietly, I couldn't help but think, It doesn't really matter to me. But, of course, I could not voice out my opinion. Since I was normally timid, confessing was not the easiest road to take. I bent down and crouched next to him, holding my tongue and staring at the ground. We stood next to each other in silence when he began talking again. "Hey, Kairii," he started, making me almost slip from my crouching position. Of all names, he had to use my first. My cheeks reddened as I nodded to show him that I was listening.

"I'm sorry about this mess," he apologized and I couldn't feel his gaze on me. Very quickly, my eyes darted to my right and I saw him looking away with puffy red cheeks.

I turned back my gaze onto the floor and started to play with my fingers. "N-N-No… it's not your fault…" I bit back on the next part that I wanted to say: 'I wouldn't mind agreeing, to be truthful'. Saying this…wouldn't it damage our fragile relationship as it was right now?

I heard him let out another exasperated sigh as he said, "No, no; it seriously is my fault. If I just hadn't argued with England-san while you were there…"

My head whipped around in an instant as I began, "It was because of me that we—" I felt a soft brush against my lips and my eyes widened when I saw who was staring into my eyes with confusion. His mouth against mine made me go crazy—time slowed as if someone tried to make this event last forever. The impact made pushed me off my feet and I was on the floor, sitting on my butt with a surprised confusion. He kissed me… was all my mind could think of. I stared into his eyes—something that I haven't been able to do all day, so why now?

"I-I'm sorry," I whispered when I found my voice. I slowly crawled up into a ball, hugging my knees close to me and hiding my face from view. I was probably as bright as my brother's bright red jeogori.

"Y-Yeah, w-well, s-s-so am I…. Hey, um…" he began but was interrupted by a door slamming.

"Contract sealed," England said, slamming open the door with a sealed piece of paper. I looked up and to my dismay, watched Gong Dou follow out after him with a worried look—he flashed me an apologetic gaze. England walked in front of us and showed us the sealed piece of paper, "Even though the two of you haven't signed, us two Nations have. Your little kiss there will be your signature in the contract."

Sealand stood up and tried to grab the sheet, "That's not fair!" he exclaimed with a flushed face. As the two fought once again, Gong Dou bent down and helped me up.

He sighed and apologized instantly. "I'm sorry, Kai, for signing the sheet. It's just that you seemed to favor that boy a bit—you have been talking of him for a while, so I thought this was the best," he said quietly under the two Nation's fight. "Should I have not…?"

My face went red all of a sudden and I looked into his eyes—the dark auburn eyes bore into my shining pink and the corners of my lips curved into a little smile. These were the eyes I was accustomed to, the only pair that I could stare in without having the intention to turn away. And he could read my mind this way—he had told me once before of a sibling's magic of telepathy. His face relaxed a bit as he said, "I guess this is alright…" he patted my head and spoke softly, "But I'm tearing up the paper if I see you cry because of that guy. Understand?"

I nodded small nods enthusiastically—maybe this was the only way to express my feelings to Sealand. Sealand walked over just then and sighed tiredly. "I'm sorry about the abrupt contract paper," he said, with a hand behind his head, "I read it over carefully and there are to be no cheats whatsoever. But I do wish he would tear it up anyway. I don't see what benefit either party would gain from this marriage…." His eyes looked upward to his right, straight at Gong Dou.

Gong Dou shrugged and said, "National benefits." I bit my lip and refrained from smiling—if Sealand saw me, he definitely would find something suspicious. I didn't want this chance to slip away. Maybe, just maybe, I could gather up the courage to confess to him.

"U-Um, Sealand?" I began quietly—I should try to improve the relationship, right? "C-Can I call you Peter?"

"Sure," he said immediately. I felt a small pin of disappointment stab me—I wasn't really sure what I was expecting, but that was too straightforward and quick. I guess I wanted to see him blush a bit. "I don't see why not since I already call you Kairii."

I winced and averted my eyes to his right shoulder—I found my brother had abandoned me to talk with Peter alone. "Actually, I-I would pre-prefer i-if y-you called me Kai at the very least…" my voice getting quieter and quieter throughout the sentence.

"Hmm, why?" he asked as if not noticing my quiet tone—or if he did, most likely ignoring it.

"I-It's just embarrassing…" I said, trying to make my voice sturdy.

"Well, whatever," he said, dropping the topic in an instant—was I that boring? "I'll call you Kai if you want." His face went a tiny shade of pink and I felt my heart skip a beat. His sudden blushes made me realize my ever growing love for him and made my heart skip beats.

England had been sneaking up behind us while we were talking and he made a dramatic entrance, surprising us both. "Wow, you guys move so slow." His bushy eyebrows reminded me of Peter and I automatically found myself turning back around to look away from the two. He grabbed my hand and I stared down at my now linked hand, grasping Peter's hand. "Now you two are linked together," he said, smiling. Peter immediately tried to yank out our connected hands but, to both of our dismay, found our hands tightly bound together.

England smirked and said, "Nope, you can't break it apart just by doing that. I enchanted it so that you two would be connected with each other for an entire day until one of you willingly does an act of love."

My face warmed up as I remembered the kiss from before—a pure chance accident. And now we had to try something to another willingly? "Fine!" Sealand shouted in exasperation, "Close your eyes, Kai." My eyes snapped shut and I braced for the expected quick peck on the lips. But something in his mind must have told him that the spell wouldn't break with a few millisecond kiss. He planted his lips gently on mine and seemed to wait for a while before pulling away with a heated up face. I thought I would explode for real. I never thought that a boy's lips could be so smooth and gentle.

Peter quickly turned away and looked up at England, "Happy, now? Remove the spell!"

England seemed stunned—and his reply to Peter seemed to drain the life out of me: "The spell should have been removed once you two separated."
