Outreach
A/N: Hey guys! Here's the next chapter, as promised! It's a sort of fluffy chapter dedicated to my best friend in the world. We were going over my outline and I was determining which unimportant chapters to take out. She begged me to keep this one in. I threw a few minor details in that aren't essential to the story, but they make the story better later on, having heard what happens here. Basically, there are a few details here that get alluded to later on and you'll only notice them if you're paying attention. XD
Along the matter of best friends, my roommate's a jerk. She reviews my other story, 'Wedding' and, because she doesn't have an account *gasp* she posted her review under the alias 'TheGame'… … Which we all just lost… … … Dislike. We're no longer on speaking terms, which makes typing this chapter easier.
Anyway! So, thank you everyone who reviewed! I was so happy that you did and some of you even took the time (though there wasn't much needed) to answer my random questions!
People I love: Owlcitystars98, Cifer10, I no wanna log innnnnn & Same person from before, Zelda12343, darkangels1112, envysfangirl, NONAMESWEREAVAILABLE, Princess-Canada, HaruWitch
You wanna be on that list? REVIEW!
Not kidding.
Do it.
Like… now…
Well, not now. Now, read this A/N and then the story. Review after that. ^.^
NONAMESWEREAVAILABLE: Which country's accent? S. Italy's or Germany's? I'm guessing Southern Italy. Haha! It wasn't intentional, but laughing is good for you so I'm glad! Especially since people like me have no life except our computer. We write amazing (obviously) fanfic's and make other people addicted. Those addicted people become computer nuts and live very unhealthy lives and if I made you laugh, I'm actually doing something good for you and not something harmful! Did you follow that? I worded it very badly. XD Anyway, random side note of the day. I probably over-exaggerated all of that train of events anyway.
I fixed the birthday thing. Thanks!
Cifer10: I fixed it. I did not realize that it was spelled that way, German is neither my first or second language, it's just one of the ones I know bits and pieces of. I will be fluent in it one day! I plan on being fluent in about a dozen languages. Yeah, I'm ambitious!
envysfangirl: Hm… the world may never know when Italy turns evil! Well, I will always know. And, if I decide to discontinue the story, you will never EVER know! Muahahahahahahahahah!
Random fact: My best friend's favorite colors are red and black. Mine are purple and black. But, I dislike the super bright and super dark purples. It has to be a pretty in the middle color. As for the gum, mint is eternally my favorite. I always have packs of mint gum in my room.
darkangels1112: I will not tell you the accuracy of your line of thinking in regards to the plot. I will tell you, however, that I am a Spamano supporter. The pairings I support are listed on my profile and I made a video for my favorite 12 pairings, which is currently located on youtube. I'm a dork, I realize.
Zelda12343: Thank you very much! I didn't think the summary was all that great, but it's evidently effective. I'm glad!
I no wanna log innnnnn/Same person as before: Epic. I'm glad you like my chapter, you should log in next time! I'm so glad you read through it, too! This chapter's a fluffy FrUK, just to warn you. The whole bad experience thing is perfectly understandable, darling. I would like to know, however; did France getting punched in the face make you laugh?
On a side note, I. Blame. You. Did you read what I posted at the beginning of the A/N? About my roommate reviewing my other story? Yeah. She did that because I told her about your 2 aliases. She thought it'd be funny, and then let me believe it was some random person trying to be funny for half an hour. -.-
I. Blame. You.
owlcitystars98: I laugh at most everyone's failures including my own. Most especially my own. That's fine anyway. I just got more than one review from you, which is cool! I love getting multiple reviews!
And, Ludwig is very scary, thank you very much! He's a creepy guy, I must say! Like, Italy sleeps in his bed all the time! I'd be scared half to death to even think of crawling into bed with him, no matter how much I wanted to! So, point made, he's a scary dude. Almost as much as Sweden. XD
Alright. I think that's all the shout outs I have. You want a shout out? Review! I give some sort of shout out/response to each person who reviews the chapter before the next chapter gets posted.
Anyway: on with the show!
England smiled, walking down the path to his mailbox. It had been a week and things were going rather well for him. There had been a world meeting, which had ended in shambles. Everyone yelled and argued and no work got accomplished. Romano sat on the other side of the room from Feliciano. Weird…
England sighed, putting his hands in his pockets. The Italians would never make any sense to him. They were utter opposites, but they were brothers. Italy loved his brother terribly and Romano… well… not much could be said for him. He probably loved his brother somewhere, but people only ever saw him barely tolerating his brother. They were peculiar.
So, I suppose it's not that odd that Lovino sat on the other side of the room from him. It wasn't a big deal. For all he knew, Lovino was avoiding sitting near the 'damn potato eater', who sat next to his Italian boyfriend.
England took a deep breath of the fresh spring air, glancing around at the trees with all the fresh buds on them. Spring. That was the only possible explanation for why Francis had acted the way he did. He was eternally in heat, after all.
Shaking his head, Arthur pushed the thought back. "The frog hasn't bothered me all week. He didn't even pick a huge fight with me at the meeting." England opened his mailbox, reaching in. "I must've gotten the idea through his- OW!" England jerked his hand back, glancing at the prick of blood pooling on his finger. "What the hell?"
One glance in gave the culprit away. There were no letters today. Instead, a single rose sat in his mailbox with a note tied to it.
"What the hell…" He repeated on a single breath, reaching in and carefully pulling the offending rose out. It smelled beautifully, but there was a smell of perfume mixing with the rose scent. Upon further inspection, it was the note. The note was scented with perfume of some sort and attached to the rose with a thin red ribbon tied in a bow.
"My dearest Arthur,
Love and light of my life.
On pardonne tant que l'on aime,
Et là où il yal'amouril ya pardon.
We forgive as we love,
And where there is love, there is forgiveness.
While you may be upset with the series of events of that night a week ago,
I am less upset.
You have probably chosen to disregard the evening,
But I count it as a success
And will forever remember it as such.
While I may have disturbed your evening,
I gained knowledge of how to better the rest of your life.
Before a week ago, I could never say if my heart had loved.
I never saw a true beauty until that night.
Never has there been someone more beautiful than you
In my life.
Never has there been someone more beautiful than you
That ever did walk this earth.
I realize this isn't the normal romance poem I would write,
I figured you would find it distasteful.
Instead, accept this
As not only a token of my love,
But as a sign to show what I feel is true.
Francis Bonnefoy."
Arthur blinked, reading the note as he walked inside. He was right; this wasn't the normal sappy romance poem he would have expected of France. It was… unusual. There was still a large measure of sappiness to it. Opening the door, Arthur entered his house and read the note one more time before sighing. He hadn't gotten the message through the frog's skull and, though he'd never admit it to himself, a small measure of him jumped with joy for the matter. Francis didn't appear to have given up even though he was pushed away. But England knew France all too well; this was only a phase. Soon enough, France would be onto his next victim.
Sighing through the despair the action brought him, Arthur dropped the rose and the note in the waste bin.
A/N: Alright guys! Please please please please review like you've been doing! I love getting the reviews, they make me so happy!
If you're going to favorite or alert this story, REVIEW! There's no point in putting the time out to read the chapters if you can't be bothered to at the very least say you liked the story. It's a little saddening, I must say to look at the list of alerts/favorites and be like 'I don't know 75% of you because YOU'VE NEVER REVIEWED!' Get the point?
This chapter's question has a purpose. My roommate and I fixed the war going on. If you want to know about the giant war, say so in your review. I'll tell you.
Anyway, we fixed the war and are creating a youtube channel. We've got some epic ideas, but need some ways to open each 'show' for at least the first few. Any epic ideas? Preferable humorous ones. Thanks!
Alright. Until next chapter!
