A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed! I love you so much! I FINALLY got this chapter out…at 7:30 in the morning…on Christmas Eve…ah, screw it, you guys enjoy the "story."
Japan ran through the house like the happiest child on earth. He was full of energy and nothing could stop him. That is, until he tripped on the slippery bamboo floor. He fell and landed backwards with a big thud. Tears quickly fell from the Asian nation's dull eyes as he whined.
China, dropping a laundry basket, ran across the house in alarm to Japan. He collected the small nation in his arms and whispered consoling things to him. Japan immediately stopped crying and looked up at China, who sent him a smile.
"Are you okay?" China asked softly. Japan nodded as a smile similar to China's became plastered on his face.
"[1]Hai, Ni-ni," Japan replied. China looked to the child in shock. Never once did he think he'd hear the words "Big Brother" leave silent Japan's mouth. He pulled him into a tight hug.
"[2] Wo ai ni, Japan!" China wailed. "You're so cute!"
Japan didn't understand much Chinese, let alone that, but he was happy to see China smiling. That's all that mattered to him.
"Yes, big brother."
"I love you!"
A/N: Woo! I think that was a major accomplishment! Now, you all have yourself a merry little Christmas and REVIEW!
