Chapter Four
"I can't take this anymore!" Britain kicked the table. "I have to tell someone…but who?" He ran through a list of names. China? No…he overreacts too much. France? Oh God no. That'll just give him leverage. Next thing you know, he'll start blackmailing him.
And then there's Germany. Can he even be trusted? That's a pass. Italy? No, that'll just scare him. Japan? Japan's an okay guy. I'm sure he can keep a secret.
Britain dialed the number. "Hey, Japan? You don't mind coming over, do you?"
"Britain, this is crazy news!" Japan exclaimed. "I mean…this is shocking." Britain sulked in his chair. "I'm sorry. I just had to tell someone. I needed someone I can trust. I'll pay you if I have to."
Japan held his up. "I cannot accept a payment. You ask me a favor. And I will do my best to help you. You didn't mean to. Don't beat yourself up."
Japan got up. "We'll act like this conversation never happened." He left the room. As he made his way downstairs, someone put their hand on his shoulder. Japan turned and jumped. "Mister Germany!" Germany glared down at him. "We need to talk," He growled.
