Chapter five

It only took a couple of hours for most of the world to hear about the engagement, and most of them held feelings ranging from excitement for the couple to shocked by the very idea to being upset that she would actually agree to tie herself down to Prussia. Prussia, however, was extremely happy with the idea of Canada staying with him and partially hoped that it would cause her to stop acting so strangely to the attention. How he saw things, everything would now be awesomely perfect. He would have a beautiful wife to fawn over his awesomeness and he would have someone to likewise fawn over. There were only a few bumps which he had not planned for.

The bumps began to appear about two weeks after the proposal when Prussia decided to come with Germany to a G8 meeting. Like when he usually decides to come and crash one of the usually less than productive meetings, Prussia sat in a chair by France and waited for Canada to enter. Unlike usual, France was not his typically talkative self with him and instead looked rather hurt by the nation.

"What's up, France?" Prussia asked confused, only to have France give him a huff and try to start a conversation with England who likewise was trying to ignore both of them. Not liking to be brushed off like that, Prussia was about to comment when he noticed Canada enter the room in a rushed motion. Without saying a word, she took her seat and looked over at Prussia. They exchanged a smile when their eyes met, only to then stop and sigh when Germany called the meeting into session.

"While there are topics which are lined up to be discussed today, there is one thing which I would like to have spoken of," England began while ending with a glance between Prussia and Canada. He then continued by asking, "Is it actually true that the two of you are…engaged."

Canada frowned slightly when she heard England practically choke on the last word and fumbled with her engagement ring. At last she nodded yes, not meeting his gaze as if expecting a scolding like when she was a colony and did something wrong.

"But- you guys can't get married! I mean, is that even allowed?!" America asked; looking around to the other nations for an answer.

"Normally it would be similar to their two countries forming a union, but because Prussia is an ex-nation I'm not exactly sure how that would work either. I guess it would be like Canada simply marrying someone from another country," France mused while not making contact with Prussia.

"Right, so since Prussia is not nation he is not good enough for Canada, da?" Russia asked happily while thinking himself. In response Prussia protested and the rest looked at the Russian warily. Russia then said, "So in that case I think she should marry me."

To the last part, the group said in unison "no," and promptly forgot about what Russia said while continuing to complain about the nonsense of the two of them marrying. After several more minutes of this, England hotly asked, "Well what do you have to say about this? You have to admit that you guys are at least going too fast."

Canada was silent for a moment before saying, "Well, I guess that we did go pretty quickly. I mean we've only been dating for, like, four months, but I'm okay with that. He's-."

"You hear that, you're going too fast for her. So why don't you two take a little time apart and think about how much of a crappy idea this is," America said, cutting off the rest of Canada's sentence and forgetting most of it.

Prussia then sighed and rolled his eyes. He really did not understand why everyone was making such a big fuss over him proposing to her. It was a simple idea in his mind, and the most logical thing for them to do, so why? At last he said, "Will you guys just get your own lives already! We don't need you two butting in like this all of the time!"

The others were silent to this for a moment, only for Canada to break the silence by saying, "It's alright Prussia, they're just worried that's all. I think you're taking this the wrong way, just be happy that they care this much about us."

Prussia stared at her part of him feeling betrayed that she did not feel the same way about the situation as him and the other part following her advice. At last he slouched back in his seat and crossed himself, obviously upset about being the only one to feel the way he did. After this, Germany decided that he had enough of the bickering over his brother's right to marry Canada and decided to restart the meeting.

The meeting went like usual after this, ending like usual with the nations each going to their proper homes. Canada happily went back home with the full knowledge that her fiancé would join her in a couple days while Prussia decided to leave with France in order to meet up with Spain for a couple drinks.

It did not take them long to meet up with Spain and find a good enough bar. There the three of them soon became drunk and began to act like their typical selves at that point. Little did they know, however, that one nation from the meeting had not gone straight home and was instead watching the scene and taking several pictures of Prussia.

So why is someone stalking Prussia?
