Thank you again to Eva N desu, pinksnowboots, Rue-the-Marauder, and subaru1999 for your reviews and suggestions!
Eva N desu- I'm not entirely sure as to what your request for a pairing was… But I'll try to figure it out (what with the arrows and all… I get confused easily…) and thanks for the suggestions!
Rue-the-Marauder- Yep, USUK is already planned! I'll try to add in a little GerIta too (I really like that pairing too!)
And I'm sorry, but I know little to nothing about the Nordics and Egypt… (I might be able to add in a little SuFin… but that's it…) But Spamano and Hungary will definitely come in at some point!
All reviews are greatly appreciated!
I do not own Hetalia

I started to doze off myself as I waited. I pulled my knees to my chest, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
My eyes slowly opened halfway. Being half asleep, I couldn't really remember where I was or what time it could possibly be. It was dark and for some reason, I was lying in the grass.
Oh yeah. Heracles had fallen asleep, and then I did as well. I sat up a little and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Somehow, it seemed as though I had fallen over on my side when I fell asleep.
"You awake?" Heracles asked from beside me.
I looked over to see him lazily lounging on the grass, propped up by his hands and staring up at the sky.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked. He did a little half shrug and continued staring at the sky in silence. I pulled out my phone and saw that it was 9:34. Three and a half hours? "H-how long h-have you been awake?"
It was answered by another little shrug. I interpreted that as awhile.
"It's okay though," Heracles said, still gazing up at the sky, "Since you had to wait for me to wake up at the airport. I don't mind though, since Kiku is also cute when he's sleeping."
My face reddened at another cute comment, "N-not really…"
He chuckled and stood up, and then he held his hand out to help me up. I placed my hand in his and he pulled me up. His hand was large, strong, and calloused, probably from sculpting so much.
When I was up, I glanced down at my own hands. They were frail, pale, small, and thin. Shows just how much I get out of the house.
I looked over to see Heracles still looking at the sky. I was curious as to why he'd been staring this whole time, so I looked up with him. My jaw dropped at the sight of the beautiful expanse of stars. It was a full moon tonight and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so all of the stars were really bright and vivid.
"See that cluster of stars over there?" Heracles said as he pointed upwards to the right, "Doesn't it look just like Adelphos?"
I looked over and saw the constellation. He was right. When you put the right ones together, they looked just like a cat, lounging around.
"You really like cats, don't you?" I said and looked back at him.
"You could say that," he responded with a small smile and putting his head down, "We should probably be getting back though. There isn't a curfew, but the teachers prefer it when we're back at the dorms early." He turned and started back across the field. I followed shortly after taking a picture of the cat in the sky, relieved that my camera had a night setting.
I quickly caught up to him and we crossed the field to the building, and went around it, back to the sidewalk. We made our way back to the dorms, and then back to our room. After checking to see that no one was looking, we entered the dorm, and locked the door. I was immediately greeted by Adelphos, who stared to paw at my ankle.
I picked him up and cuddled him in my arms. He was just so cute!
"Oh, yeah. I have a club meeting tomorrow, so you'll be by yourself," Heracles mentioned right after he took off his boots and sat on his bed.
"Alright then," I said as I sat down as well, "What club are you in?"
"Art Club. You should join too. I think that you'd like it there," he said as he lay down.
"Sounds like fun. However, I have some things to do tomorrow. I'll go to the next meeting though," I said as I remembered what my mom had said at the airport before I left.
"I'll be busy later on today and tomorrow, so call me on Sunday and tell me everything. I want to know what it's like over there in America. Take lots of pictures for me!"
I internally laughed at how much enthusiasm my mom always had.
I heard Heracles mumble something along the lines of "Okay" and then I noticed him fall asleep. I got up and went to my bag to pull out my computer. It was one of those new netbooks that are really light weight and easy to travel with.
While I was waiting for my computer to turn on, I took the SD card out of my camera and stuck it into my computer.
A few minutes later, I was logged on and going through all of the pictures that I have taken within the course of a few days before I left and now. I didn't take many from before I left, but there were still a few in there. I took in every photo as I went through them. Most of them were of me and my friends back home. They were all making peace signs and things around me while we posed outside of my school, and in my homeroom. A few picture later, I started to look at the pictures of my family that I took before I left. There was one of my mom hugging my head ferociously as she tried to convince me to stay for a little longer, even though she was the one who decided the day that I'd leave.
"Who's that?" a voice said from beside me that startled me.
"H-Heracles? I-I thought that you were sleeping!" I said, clutching my heart from the sudden startle.
"Adelphos started to paw at me face and woke me up," He mumbled. So, a tiny cat pawing at his face wakes him up, but not me yelling at him? "Then I saw you on the computer and became curious."
"Oh," I said, my heartbeat and breathing back to normal, "T-this is my mother."
"She looks hyper," he mumbled, staring at the screen.
"Yeah, she is," I laughed a little.
"You have her eyes," he mumbled again, only now he was staring into my eyes. I felt my face go a little red at how close he was. He was sitting only a few inches away from me, and leaning over the computer on my lap.
"Yeah I guess I do," I mumbled, looking into his eyes as well. I only just noticed how, well, green they were. I don't think I've seen eyes that vibrant before. Even though they were laden with sleep, they were still really bright and tantalizingly beautiful.
"I think I'll go back to sleep," he said as he slowly got up and went back to his bed.
"Oyasumi," I said as he flopped down on the bed.
"καληνύχτα," he replied and fell asleep again.
…
Oyasumi- good night in Japanese
Καληνύχτα- good night in Greek
Oh my god you guys! Thank you for your wonderful reviews! (I thank you guys again) I honestly didn't expect to get such great reviews when I first put this up here! Thank you sooooooo much!
I decided to start adding in the other pairings in side stories too. Every so often, I'll add a little chapter that will focus on a different pairing for that chapter (this way, I can add in your requested pairings, and a few of my favorites!)
Oh, and for that scene at the beginning, I was very tempted to draw a picture about it… So I did! It can be seen here .com/gallery/#/d39u95g
Yeah, I kinda derped it up… I meant for it to look better, but oh well haha
Oh, question: Do you want me to add more fluff to this? I kind of want to… But I'm not sure if I should or not… Ideas?
I'll also be moving the rating from K+ to T I think due to some mild language that will be inserted later on…
And I'm terribly sorry about the super long wait… Writer's block is a jerk…
(I'm sorry about the long author comments too… I talk too much…)
