Welcome back all you sexy people! Kitty29 here with the next chapter of 'Gamble'. Sorry that this chapter took longer then necessary, I got stuck on #11 for like, two days. Plus I started school and got back into The Sims (2 is the best!). This is actually the first time I've ever posted a story that I first wrote on paper and then typed out later (I still can't see how you guys do it, I hate having to write things out twice! Plus straight to computer saves some trees).
Anyways, thank you Kage31 for the idea of a third category! I didn't use it for this chapter because I already started before I read your review and I didn't want to delete them so I could add the other category so…yeah. But starting next chapter I will be proud to introduce the third category, locations! I already have all written out and everything, I just need to find my third hat…
Sorry I didn't do this earlier but thank you Krait, MonochromeOsity, MisaTsumi, Yume Dust, RockerRema13, carolinaz05, and Parable for the reviews! They made my day =D
Special thanks for Jackidy for the suggestion of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland. They're fun to write about! And The Illustrious Tama and pmpatg for correcting me on Romano's name. But hey I guessed on everyones name and if only one out of 26 were wrong then that's prety good! =D
Sorry about the ramblings please read and enjoy!
1. Shinatty-chan X Netherlands + Home Movies
Netherlands shivered as he walked out of the movie room. How these Asians thought Shinatty-chan was cute he had no idea.
That guy's back story was messed up.
2. Sealand X Australia + Birds
Australia smiled when Sealand's face lit up as he looked at his exotic birds.
3. Wales X Switzerland + Videogames
Wales was surprised when Switzerland agreed not to kill him if he could beat him in a game of Smash Brawl. He was even more surprised when he won.
4. Ireland X Kenya + Window
Kenya rolled down the Jeeps window and looked at Ireland expectedly. Ireland waited for the queasiness to pass before he spoke. "Not saying I don't like you lad." He patted the Kenyan on the shoulder. There was a pause before the Irish man trusted himself to speak again. "But I am never going on a safari again."
5. Northern Ireland X Belarus + Magic Wand
Northern Ireland's hands rose in a surrendering motion when he felt something sharp press against his neck. "My брат wants that." Belarus said in his ear before easing the wand out of the Irish mans hand.
"Take it!" Northern Ireland said with a chuckle. "I don't even believe in magic, love!"
6. Prussia X France + Music
"Turn off that damn French music!" Prussia growled at the Frenchman. "You're scaring my awesome birds!"
7. Egypt X Lithuania + the Sun
Lithuania shielded his eyes as he turned his gaze skyward. "It's really sunny today huh Egypt?"
The Egyptian turned to the brown haired man and raised an eyebrow as if to say 'This is sunny? This is nothing.'
Lithuania chuckled sheepishly. "Sorry you're right. This is probably nothing compared to the desert. Ice cream?"
8. China X Hungary + Purple
China was known among nations as the man with untold wisdom and knowledge since he's been around the longest. Though Hungary was deeply disappointed when the only thing he had to say about the object she brought him was: "It's purple, aru."
9. Holy Roman Empire X Norway + Fashion
"Denmark, look!"
Denmark turned to see his friend holding up a midnight blue cloak. He raised an eyebrow at it. Norway sighed and made a face like it was obvious. "Doesn't it look like the cloak the Holy Roman Empire wore?"
Denmark's eye twitched. "…so?"
Norway sighed and turned back to the rack he was looking though but not before muttering. "You're buying it for me…"
10. Denmark X Greece + Magic
Denmark found himself wondering if England had spiked Greece's water with one of his potions when Greece just suddenly fell asleep right in the middle of an argument.
11. Japan X Sweden + Water
When Japan opened his eyes he found himself in a very unfamiliar room. He also felt something extremely wet on his forehead. He reached up to take it off but someone beat him to it. As soon as it was removed he wished it was back on his head. His whole body felt like it was on fire he was so hot and his throat was dry as hell. He turned to face whoever else was with him and was alarmed to find that his vision was slightly blurred. He couldn't really make out his face but he noticed his hulking figure and short blond hunched over a small bowl. The man turned to him and spoke.
"Y'u'r 'w'ke."
"Sweden-san." The Japanese man wheezed before trying to sit up. A strong hand gently eased him back. "D'n't m've" he ordered. "Y'u n'ed r'st."
The door creaked open and Finland poked his head inside. "Oh Japan, you're awake!" He knelled down by the side of the bed and felt the Asians forehand with the back of his hand. "He's burning up!" There was a panic in his voice that Japan didn't fail to notice. "Su-san what do we do?!"
"C'lm d'wn." He said it with a strictness that sent shivers down Japan's spine. Finland's shoulders relaxed though the worry in his eyes remained. Sweden dropped the rag he retrieved from Japans forehead into the bowl of water he was holding. "H' h's a' f'ver," The rag was wringed until there was next to no water left in it. Sweden grunted before placing the rag back in the bowl. "H' n'eds r'st." The Swede winged the rag very gently before placing it back on Japan's head.
Japan didn't understand what the Swedish man was saying and the rag was too wet. It drenched his hair almost as soon as it was placed on his head. For some reason this didn't seem to bother him. Though they sounded rough Sweden's words were strangely comforting. Plus the rag did a good job of cooling him down and he felt himself drifting off already…
12. England X Taiwan + Fairytales
England knew that Taiwan's fairytales would be strange but they sounded even stranger when they were song.
13. Chibi Romano X Estonia + Gas
Romano turned red when the blond nation sniffed the air.
"It wasn't me!" He demanded. "It was the invisible mice!"
14. Scotland X Austria + Lamps
"How can ya' even see the keys in the dark?" Scotland questioned leaning in closer to the piano and adjusting his glasses. "Can't ya' at least get a lamp, lad?"
"It's easier to listen to the music in the dark." Austria explained also adjusting his glasses. "I can hear my mistakes easier."
"I didn't even know ya' can make mistakes, piano boy." Scotland said with a laugh.
Austria let a proud smile show on his face before he started to play.
15. Turkey X Canada + Lunch
Canada actually enjoyed the lunch he shared with Turkey. He was loud and joked around a lot, something the Canadian wasn't expecting. It was a very nice afternoon until the Turkish man slapped him on the shoulder and said,
"You know America, you're not that bad."
16. Lichtenstein X India + Kumajirou
India looked at Lichtenstein disapprovingly as she hummed to herself and tied a ribbon around Kumajirou's ear.
"For a brother so cool you're kind of a pansy."
17. Chibitaila X Latvia + a Musical Instrument
Latvia thought that since the Italian lived with Austria then he would love music. Though the only instrument he could find was a small triangle. Luckily for him the child was very easily amused.
18. S. Italy X Jamaica + Porn
"Welcome to the island, mon!" Jamaica chuckled heartedly before swinging his arm over Romano's slight shoulder. "Can I get ya' anything? Food, a drink, clothes, pornography?"
Romano wiggled out of the Jamaican mans grasp and gave him a look of disbelief. "What!?"
Jamaica chuckled again at the Italians face. "You've be surprised by how many people want pornography after a flight, mon. As their guide to the island it's my job to give them what they want."
Romano stared at him a second longer before turning away his gaze away his cheeks red. He had heard France and Spain talk about how hot Jamaica was but jeez. Even he had to admit the nation was good looking.
"Wh-whatever! Let's just go meet with my idiot of a brother and that damn potato bastard." He turned and continued walking.
Jamaica watched him walk and smiled. France was right. The kid was cute. "Wrong way!" He shouted at the retreating figure.
"I KNEW THAT, DAMMIT!"
19. Cuba X Cuba + Books
Cuba always found it weird when he found a mention of his name in books. It was a strange feeling, just picking up a random book someday and then finding your name all over it. Though he was a nation and he should probably be used to it, it still brought a smile to his face when he read a random novel and it talked about how great he was.
20. Portugal X Seychelles + Fans
"It's nice to have fans huh?" Portugal reflected as he and Seychelles ran from an angry mob.
"Why did I let you help me!?" Seychelles asked herself angrily. "Papa warned me about you but nooooo, I'm just had to be an idiot!" She picked up her pace when she noticed the pitchforks getting a little too close. "Shit!"
Portugal hand out a pen and paper to her. "Sign this please~?"
If she wasn't running for her life she would have strangled him.
21. America X Poland + Television
"Ok so like, American TVs' not that bad."
America pumped his fist up in victory as the opening music of America's Next Top Model played.
22. Ukraine X Random Human + Pipes
"Thank you for fixing the plumbing." Ukraine said to the plumber with a smile. "Usually my brother does it but he's not picking up his phone. Pipes are kinda his thing."
"It's no problem miss." He replied nodded his head. "But um…" He looked Ukraine up and down lustfully. "I'd like to fix your plumbing."
Ukraine never called a repairman again.
23. Hong Kong X Iceland + Tea
Hong Kong made sure to serve Iceland plenty of tea. He hoped in some way it would help get rid of that annoying cold.
24. Finland X Germany + Dresses
Germany couldn't help but imagine Finland in a dress when he first heard Sweden call him his wife.
25. Spain X Korea + Technology
Spain's jaw dropped when Korea picked up the keyboard and started smashing the computer with it. Surprising it fixed his computer.
26. Russia X N. Italy + Mail
Russia loomed over the Italian and smiled creepily at him.
"You got my letter, da?"
Italy swallowed thickly before nodding slowly.
Russia's cocked his head to the side. "You're response?"
Italy smiled weakly. "I-I like sunflowers too."
Russia's smile grew and he scooped the Italian up into a bear hug.
The dibbles in this chapter weren't that long, so to make up for it I have twice as many extras then before! (A whole two more!) Enjoy!
(Extra) 1. France X England
The first time France had found the Brit's erogenous zone is was by complete accident. He first thought he had hurt the man, the way he suddenly collapsed onto his kitchen corner, as if his knees just gave out. He didn't even realize what he had done until he heard the British nation mutter. "Just…take me now you wine bastard…"
(Extra) 2. France X England (again)
"Arthur."
England looked up at his human name and was surprised to find a serious expression on the French mans face. "Desperate everything I do. I really do love you Arthur. And only you."
England turned to face France full on and gave him a skeptic look. "Bastard. You're only saying that to get in my bloody pants."
Frances lowered his gaze to the floor so that his long hair was covering his face. The English man continued to stare at the other man his angry rising as the seconds passed. Who the hell did he think he was? Cheating on him who knows how many times and then telling him he loved him. Damn dirty wine bastard.
France laughed and shook his head. It was a dark laugh. A laugh England never heard from the other nation before. "Of course mon cher. That's the only reason I ever come over, non?"
England sighed and closed his eyes awaiting the Frenchman's touch. It wasn't until he heard the door slam did he open his eyes to find himself alone yet again.
(Extra) 3. Canada X France
France walked into the Canadians living room with a bottle of red wine and two wine bottles. He gave Canada a seductive grin.
"Sex?"
"No thanks."
The Frenchman shook his head disapprovingly before placing the bottle and glass on a small table. "One day mon cher. Une jour."
(Extra) 4. Ireland X Northern Ireland
"You really don't want to mess with us pretty boy." Ireland said to the closest of the six men that was itching for a fight. "Let's just buy some beers and enjoy the rest of the night, aye?" Northern Ireland added smiling at the rather large man.
"You spilled on my shirt!" The man spit pointing to his blue button up top. "This is my best shirt!"
"Oh that's sad, eh Patrick?"
"Aye Seamus. Very sad."
That was the last straw. The man threw a punch toward Northern Ireland who ducked just it time. The man instead punched some other man completely unrated to the small scene. He growled before turning and smashing his beer on top of his head. In about ten seconds there was an all out bar brawl.
The two Irish brothers turned to each other in the middle of the fight and smiled.
"I love ya' Ireland"
"Love ya too, North Ireland."
Northern Ireland was then punched in the stomach. Ireland responded by smashing the attacker with a mental crowbar.
It was a good night.
The inspiration for the last extra was from Boondock Saints. I love that movie, its f-ing sweet.
Anyway, again if you have any characters you want me to throw in or even an idea for, dare I say it, a forth category then let me know!
Please review!
