Memories

Europe was a fair continent, wearing European-style clothing, drinking tea on his Victorian bench. He always does this, always drinking tea to soothe himself; he tolerates coffee also, but prefers tea over it, he would rather be 'calm and collected', than a 'hyper junkie'. Europe felt tea was like soothing his soul, or what Asia might say his 'chakra', he would never understand Asia's ways of life.

"Hey, Europe," A man came to him with a smile. He wore a t-shirt with ripped jeans, also wearing a baseball cap.

Europe smiled at the man. "Hello Nicolas, nice to meet you on this fine day."

Nicolas scowled at the name Nicolas. "Will you please stop calling me Nicolas, it's Nick okay? Jeez, I don't want to sound too European."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Europe said with annoyance, placing the tea on his table. "What's wrong with being European, Nicolas? Too high status for you?"

"No way! I just don't want you to call me that, I'm too cool for high standards," Nicolas explained.

"Really? Say that again to the person who found you, who made you who you are, and gave you the most military efficient countries?"

"Dammit. You're right, just please stop arguing. I didn't come here for that," Nicolas replied, rubbing his head from stress.

"Alright, what is it North America?" Europe asked with Nicolas's official name; it didn't mind Nick, he was born with it after all. "Why don't you sit with me if it really is shocking for you to not say it already." Nick nodded, and sat beside Europe.

North America was quiet, not saying a word as he looked at the floor with sadness, this made the atmosphere uncomfortable to Europe.

"Well?" Europe asked. "Spit it out."

"I miss them."

"W-what?" Europe asked.

"Admit it, you know what I mean. I want to see America, Canada, Mexico, all those countries I raised strongly and proudly," North America explained, bitterness in his voice. "I want to come out of hiding, hug them with great force like I never saw them for decades. I want to interact with them, not see them everyday."

"Nicolas," Europe said softly. "You know we can't show ourse-"

"I know that!" Nick shouted, looking angry. "Our identities might be in danger, and we would endanger the countries as well. I get it!" He stood up, and looked at Europe with anger, but it quickly turned into sadness. "Sorry, I lost some sense in actions." He sat again.

Europe put a hand on North America's shoulder, sighing. "I know what you feel Nicolas, I wanted to meet my countries as well. Germany, England, Ireland, France, and Russia as well! I wanted to see them, but our identities might be found out; it could make great risk to ourselves and them as well." Europe explained, looking at Nick's miserable face.

"If the time is right, we'll show ourselves. Just not today, some day," Europe said, smiling a little.

Nick didn't look at him and sighed. "I guess, but one of our countries might die some day, and I would've miss meeting them. There will always be wars, dissolutions, invasions, and battle, so consequences have to follow."

"Yes Nick," Europe spoke with his name, making North America look at him. "People will die, countries will dissolve, and the world might have another World War, but remember this...it shaped history and yourself today. Without sacrifices, there might never be peace, just conflict and hatred. Without America's independence, it wouldn't be here today. If Germany didn't invade Russia in World War Two, then Russia would've still been allies with the Axis Powers. People shape history, and history shapes us."

Nick looked at him. astonished for a second. He nodded and stood up. "I never thought of that, I guess I feel a little better." He looked at Europe and gave a smile. "Alright, one day we'll meet them; if you lied, I'll kick your ass."

Europe smiled at this. "Alright Nicolas, I'll keep my promise." After that, North America walked out of the room, leaving Europe alone.

Europe looked amazed at how Nicolas became happy, it was fast then he expected. North America must understand like the rest of the continents, that sometimes we need to be patient.

Europe smiled to himself, and drank his tea.
