The walk back to the Allies meeting was sweetly silent. China was abnormally silent, shyly holding her hands over her lap as she walked. England held his umbrella over her and himself, secretly smiling at China's shyness. She was too cute.
When they arrived at the building, England, being the gentleman he was, opened the door for China, following behind afterwards. As they neared the meeting room, they heard America complaining about something and France just laughing. Okay then...
"What are you complaining about, you big baby...?" England said right when he walked through the door. The three turned to the Brit, America and France's eyes widened with shock while Russia continued smiling. England's eyes moved down to the notepad in America's hand who just shoved it to France. The French personification shoved it back and the two went back and forth at it.
"Wait, is that mine aru?" China asked, walking forward towards the two, her head tilting with her question. America and France noticeable stiffened, the American having the notepad presently. Before China could really take a look at the notepad, America tossed it towards Russia who caught it with no problem or hesitation.
"China's a really good artist da~" He said with a cheerful smile, handing the notepad to its owner. China chuckled, embarrassed by the compliment, while scratching the back of her neck, taking back the notepad with her free hand.
"T-they were just simple doodles aru." She said, still a bit embarrassed.
Walking up behind her, England wanted to see the drawing, too. "What'd you draw?" He asked curiously. China turned to him, proudly handing over the notepad, with no shame. England took the notepad, looking down at the doodle. It took his a minute to realize what she drew and when it finally hit him, England twitched and froze, the color in his face fading to white.
"Let this be a warning to you all to never mess with me aru." China said proudly, smiling as she snatched her notepad back.
"Seems like all the tension in the room's gone!" America pointed out once he snapped out of fear.
"So, Angleterre ((England)), what did you do to calm our China down?" France quietly asked England so no one could hear, moving his brows up and down, suggestively. The Brit started sputtering nonsense, waving his arms while his cheeks tinted pink. "Hon hon hon~"
As the two European nations went back and forth, America shouted, "Let's all go to Japan's onsen!" getting England's and France's attention.
"Woah woah woah! Rewind! What about an onsen?" England asked, completely confused as to what America was saying.
"Well, we should all do more team bonding stuff together! That and make sure China doesn't want to kill us all and take over the world, 'cuz that would like, suck... We can relax and all that stuff! It'll be a totally awesome vacation, Man!" America explain with much excitement.
"That does sound very nice..." England took a step away from the French personification when seeing him deeply breathing, making his signature hon hon hon sounds. Warily, he glared at the French, knowing exactly what he was thinking. Bloody, perverted frog!
"It'll be awesome! There's no problem since we're all guys, right England~?" America winked to England. The Brit rose a brow, confused to what America was thinking, when it finally hit him; this was another of America's messed up plans!
England's eyes widened at America, seeing him grin from ear to ear with a thumbs up. Yep, another insane plan. England now turned to China, seeing said nation freeze up with horror.
"W-we can't do that! Our meetings are already unproductive as it! Don't make it worse!" England shouted as an excuse.
"F you..." America pouted. "Know what; democracy! Two against one!" America shouted, crossing his arms.
"I'm with England on this one aru..." China said, eyes towards the ground.
"Ha!" England shouted, pointing at the other two.
"We still have Russia, mon ami," France added. The three turned to the Russian while China sighed, still facing the ground, eyes closed as she shook her head.
"Hmm~" Russia thought with his eyes lidded, head tilted a bit. The others waited for his answer as the Russian continued smiling and thinking. "A warm bath in a hot spring does sound nice da~" Russia finally answered. America pumped his fist in the air while France smirked towards England and China suggestively. "You will all become one with mother Russia then~"
And the room went silent...
"Nee-San!" Japan gasped as he ran into the kitchen. China was there cutting up vegetables. She turned to the door with a questioning look towards Japan, seeing him trying to catch his breath. "I just got off the phone with America-San. He said that the Allies were all going to an onsen. Is that true?" China was taken back, stiffly turning back to dice up the vegetable with a flushed expression, whistling an ancient Chinese tune. "Nee-San!"
"Well~" Before China could say anything, she and Japan both heard running footsteps heading towards them.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! What?" Taiwan was first to burst out.
"China-Nona! You're back da ze!" Korea entered next, running up towards China. The Chinese nation had dropped her knife when the Korean glomped her from behind, groping her chest.
"KOREA!" She shouted, attempting to pry off the younger Asian. Awww~ There's the China everyone knew and loved~
"China, I heard 'Allies' and 'hot springs'; how are you getting out of that?" Vietnam hastily added, a hint of worry was shown through her harsh tone. China was trying to explain everything, but kept on getting interrupted.
"Isn't it immoral for a girl to do that with guys ana?" Thailand worriedly added. Now China's face was horribly flushed as she really tried to stutter out an explanation and how she was going to get out of it.
"All we need to do is prevent anything from happening." Hong Kong said, already coming up with the plan. "Or at least prevent anything from being seen..." He added, a barely visible tint of pink crawling onto his cheeks as he fake coughed, covering his mouth with his long sleeve to hide his barely visible blush.
"AIYAH! OUT! OUT OF MY KITCHEN ARU! GET OUT NOW!" China shouted, her face still flushed. She would've used her wok to shoo everyone out, but it was currently being used for its second use; cooking. Before China could pull out a spare wok, everyone rushed out the kitchen, continuing on to hear Hong Kong's plan in the living room.
As China grumbled inaudible things about her family in Mandarin while frying up her chopped veggies, she could've sworn she heard the others talk in the other room. It was defiantly about that whole trip thing, but China wasn't so sure with the sound of frying food booming in front of her. Plus, she was more focused on that to bother with her mischievous siblings.
She had just finished cooking when Taiwan came back in the kitchen with a smile on her face. China raised a brow, knowing that this was not going to be good.
"China-Jie~" The Taiwanese girl started in a sing-song tone, "We're gonna go, too~" She finished all perky like. China's response was just a blank, deadpanned look. What...?
"A nice soak in a hot spring just sounds great..." Vietnam added as she passed the kitchen, stretching her arms up above her. Thailand was besides her smiling, happy with their plan.
"Hot springs originated in Korea da ze!" Korea commented, skipping past Vietnam. Japan sighed, pinching his nose with annoyance because of the youngest nation. When said Japanese nation walked by, Taiwan ran up beside him, still smiling cheerfully.
China sigh, taking a seat by the kitchen table and dropping her head on it with a thud. Hong Kong walked up and sat beside her, patting his sister's head while still looking neutrally forward.
"Can't you just let Jiejie handle things herself aru...?" China mumbled, head still on the table.
"No..." Hong Kong flat out said. An invisible weight just dropped onto China's head with his answer.
"Hong Kong!" China shouted, finally picking up her head. That was Hong Kong's signal to jump up and run, or more like speedily walk away. China sighed, grabbing the home phone. "Well, since it more like a family trip now aru..." She dialed a number, now waiting and listening to the ringing until someone picked up. "Wei?"
England trotted the streets towards China's house. He urgently needed to talk to her about later today; the time America and France were going to drag them to Japan's onsen. He was going to try and come up with a plan to get China out of it, being a girl and all, unaware that the Asians, or more like just Hong Kong, had already came up with a plan.
As England neared the Chinese nation's home, he noticed someone standing out at front with a bag, looking at the house. From a far, England could see the person was obviously Asian and had their tied up loosely. He concluded it was China judging from their appearance.
"Yao!" The Brit shouted. They were still out in public so people could probably still hear him. "Yao!" 'China' didn't seem to hear or noticed England running up to her. Before he could shout out again, England finally noticed it wasn't China. It looked more like Korea, but Korea didn't have long hair. Did he? His hair was short the last world meeting.
"Oi! Yong Soo!" Well it must be Korea since the Asian now reacted, looking side to side. "What are you doing out he-" Before England could even finish his sentence when he reached the Korean, there was a switchblade to his neck. That's when it clicked that this wasn't South Korea.
"State your name and business..." The South Korea-look-a-like growled, glaring up at England. The threatenEd Brit finally got a good look at the Korean. His hair was long like China's and was in a loose braid. He looked exactly like South Korea, but a lot more dark and vicious.
"A-Arthur Kirkland; The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." England stuttered. Considering the person looked exactly like South Korea, England had a pretty good feeling that this person was also a nation. "I came to see China."
The Korean didn't withdraw his knife, still keeping it towards England's neck. He looked up and down the British nation, obviously not trusting him. "Are you the reason why he came to my house the other day...?" He growled more. England only raised a nervous brow, pissing off the Korean even more. "Answer me, damn it!"
England felt the metal on his throat now, nervously leaning away. "Now, now! Let's not do anything too rash." England said, trying to calm down the Korean and prevent himself from getting sliced up.
"Korea!" For a second, England could've swore he saw the light. With a couple of blinks, he saw the Korean on his knees holding his head. He then turned to the source of 'Korea's pain, seeing China standing next to them with a wok in hand. "No threatening people aru!" She scolded.
Korea stood back up, still rubbing his head as he mumbled some Korean curses.
"Zǎo ān ((Good morning)), England." China greeted, turning to England. "Meet North Korea." She introduced, presenting the more deadly of the Koreas. England's eyes only widened. The two looked practically the same, but were complete opposites.
"Nice to meet you, Korea." England said a bit nervously. As he held his hand out, he couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. Korea only glared at the presented hand. His only acknowledgement of the Brit was a brief grunt before turning back to China.
"How'd you know we were out here?" He asked, wanting to know how he failed to cut up England. China just started giggling nervously.
"Actually, I didn't aru. I was actually just running away from-"
"CHINA-JIE! YOU HAVE TO PACK!" Before China could even finish her answer, Taiwan came running out with a duffle bag. South Korea was following behind her and smiling brightly.
Until he saw him...
South Korea abruptly stopped, his bright and cheerful smile died down as his facial expression turned tense, fear seeping through his eyes.
When North Korea caught a glimpse of his younger brother's hatred towards him, he looked diagonally to the ground, avoiding eye contact. "South..."
"North da ze..." South Korea quickly nodded his head as an acknowledgement before turning back towards the house, quickening his pace. Taiwan looked back and forth at the group at the gate to South Korea. She decided to follow the currently- not-so-perky Korea.
"Ai..." China said under her breath, "I didn't have time to explain anything aru... Sorry North." She apologized, bowing towards her younger brother. When she turned to England, she noticed he didn't have a bag or anything with him. "Where's your bag aru?"
"Oh! That's what I wanted to talk to you about!"
"Your bag aru...?" China interrupted before England could explain.
"No! We're going to have to come up with a plan to get you out of this! Who knows what America's up to! Or France at that..." England was completely confused when he saw China giggling behind her hand. She pecked the Brit's cheek swiftly, causing him to blush.
"Thanks for worrying about me, but Hong Kong already planned everything out aru." China explain with a cute smile and head tilt, making England blush even more. "That's why North is here. It kinda turned into a family vacation with the Allies or something aru." China's smile started to falter a bit as she continued, "But I'm still not entirely sure what he and the others are planning." England chuckled nervously at China's explanation, then turned to North. He twitched when seeing North.
North was glaring fiercer then before at him. It was clear that he was not amused at the Brit when his older sister kissed him.
"Go and get packed. We'll see how everything goes aru." China said to England before turning to North. Right when she turned to him, North quickly ceased his glares. "Let's go inside aru. Zaijan, England!" The said nation waved to China as she and North walked back inside.
When they were inside, England held his cheek where China had kissed him. He did a quick victory dance before walking away with a smile on his face.
Inside the Asian household, China was talking to her siblings about the 'trip' with North waiting out back.
"Since you all are coming along, it now seems like a family trip (with the Allies) aru. I do not want to exclude any family members and that includes North. You don't have to be happy that he's coming along, but I don't want to hear any complaints about me bringing him along aru! Míngbáile ma ((Got it))?"
All the Asians besides China and Korea looked around at each other. Well, if they didn't bother him, then he wouldn't bother them. That's how it worked in their minds. After thinking it through, they all nodded and were dismissed.
"Korea!" China called out to the said nation before he walked out the door, "Can I talk to you for a minute aru?" Korea turned, walking back to take a seat next to China. "Are you mad aru?" She asked to him, much to his surprise.
"Eh! Uh, oh, um, no da ze..." Korea stuttered, not sure how to answer. "More like shocked, I guess..." He said, scratching the back of his head.
"Either way, I'm sorry aru. I don't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything." Korea's eyes widen as he turned to China. She was looking down at her lap. There was a brief silence until...
"China-Nona! You do care da ze!" Korea shouted brightly, glomping China.
"K-Korea!" The Chinese nation had not expected this from a moody Korea. Usually she would try to pry him off, but Korea wasn't groping, so it was fine. Instead, China just petted his head. "Really? You didn't think I care aru?" She joked.
After seeing that the Southern Korea was doing fine, China went to check on the Northern Korea.
"There you are aru!" China shouted when finding Korea in her garden in the backyard. He was watching the clouds, sitting on branch on a large tree while leaning on the trunk.
When Korea felt the tree shaking a bit, he looked down to see China climbing up to him, now sitting on a branch on the same level as him.
"Does Eyebrows know...?" Korea asked, looking back at the clouds again. China giggled at his nickname for England.
"Yeah..." She answered with a soft smile.
"Well seems like you're okay with it..."
"Mhmm..."
"He was the reason you came over the other day..." Korea said, not asked. China now turned to him as the Korean still watched the clouds. "I'll kill him if he makes you sad again..." Korea added in a growl, making China giggle even more.
She kissed her younger brother's head, shocking him with wide eyes and pink cheeks. "Even you're very over protective aru~"
"Oi! Don't do that!" Korea barked, shooing China away. "You've been acting a lot more girly lately..." China's sweet smile quickly changed to a pissed expression, smacking the back of Korea's head.
