I'm sick, but I managed to pull through enough to get this out there~ As always, I hope you enjoy!

Radiance

"Remind me again why I followed you up here?" Belgium scoffed, her feet tired and aching as she trekked up the beaten path behind her brother. The sun was relentless in its attack, and she could feel her hair already becoming sticky with sweat.

Without his even turning around, Belgium could see the teasing smirk on his face when he replied, "Come on, Bella, I know you're enjoying the view!"

Belgium wrinkled her nose, rolling her eyes and trying to convince herself that her face was red from the heat of the hike.

There was not much left to the hike after that, though, and soon Holland turned to face his sister with a glimmer of excitement twinkling in his eyes.

"Wait until you see this," He started, pushing away a few shrubs and branches to reveal a larger plain. Belgium could see that it was actually a cliff, and probably very high if the climb was anything to go by.

But she didn't have time to say anything, because soon enough her brother's hand was wrapped around her wrist and he pulled her towards the edge.

"Look, Bel," he murmured, cutting her off before she could make quips about him trying to kill her. Belgium hesitated, because she knew that breathless tone.

When she turned around, she saw the fields of tulips beneath them, all radiant and blooming in the sunlight, but none so much as Holland's warm smile.

End.


Aw, these two are so cute! I had a tough time writing for these two at first, but the results made me really happy~
