American Flag Swimming trunks. They were all his stupid flag. England thought about not going through with it. It's not like he had to go swimming with Hawaii. But then he remembered the way she looked at him and decided to go through with it.
He stepped outside by the pool where Hawaii was waiting, she giggled a little about the swim shorts, but not enough to irritate the nation.
"Nice shorts Iggy" Stated California, who was lying to the side sunbathing.
"Must you all insist on using that horrible nickname?"
"Enh" She stated, placing her arms behind her head.
Choosing to ignore the blonde he turned to Hawaii who was running to cannonball in the pool. Splashing water all over a very disappointed England.
"You afraid of a little water Iggy?" Stated Florida who was climbing in as well.
"You do realize I was a pirate once don't you?" He smirked
"So?" Stated Louisiana who was dipping his feet in the water.
"I am quite familiar with water" He stated, climbing in then dipping his head under. It had been a while since he had come up and the staes were becoming worried, until Louisiana was pulled in with them.
England resurfaced, happier than ever. Until he noticed the water turning slightly brown. He looked up.
"Massachusetts."
The state stood there smugly holding a overturned coffee mug that had once contained tea. In the other hand held an IPhone capturing the nations horrified expression.
"Hey guys, I think I'll send this picture to uncle France, What do you think?"
"Lets do it" They all agreed in unison.
"Don't you dare." Stated England.
"Sent." Stated Massachusetts, pocketing the IPhone.
"Matt! Seriously! Don't Do It!" Yelled Delaware. But Stopped upon realizing that it was too late. His brother had already managed to get the worlds largest Empire upset with him.
"England?" Asked Delaware
"Yes?"
"May I?" He motioned toward Matt.
"Be my guest" Replied England, Stepping aside in the water.
With that Delaware pushed his younger brother into the pool. Fully dressed. With an IPhone in his pocket.
"You are dead"
"You had it coming to you"
England Sighed. "Come on, let's get you out of those wet clothes." He dragged the young state out of the pool and to his room. As Massachusetts removed his shirt, England noticed so he had to ask.
"Matt?"
"Yeah?"
"Those scars, did I-"
"Every. Single. One." He stated, his tone cold.
"I... I didn't mean to"
"It's fine England. Nations change in wartime. I understand. I'm sure we both did things we regret. I'll forgive you if you forgive me?"
"Deal" They shook on it.
"I'll leave you to get changed then" England left, closing the door.
It felt good to get over old grudges.
