Kona and her newly found friend/lover were sitting in a cafй. Our dear girl could barely keep still from happiness. She was constantly giggling, turning around and moving up and down her seat. She wanted to jump on the table and scream aloud how happy she was, or even better, to be invited on Oprah's show, jump on the sofa and declare love to her homeland so that everyone in America could see what a gorgeous life she had and be jealous of her.
"What ya wanna drink, babe?" Alfred saidloudly, a beautiful smile shining on his face and his bright blue eyes fixated on his cheerful fangirl.
"Hmm, let me see… I wonder if they have peach tea here. I love peach tea!"
The young man sat up and put his hand on his chest: "Of course, this is a cafй in Heroland, they should have anything that this proud young American here wants!" he declared proudly pointing at Kona. And she just sat there, amazed by the radiant glory of her favorite character, Beethoven's ninth symphony loudly playing in her head. Not only was she thankful to be American, she was living every kawaii desu self-insert Mary Sue's wet dream. Except this was reality.
"Hey bartender, bring us 2 full glasses of peach tea, and do it quickly, dude!"
Just as America resumed his seated position, the young lady could not help but ask a vital question: "Um, Alfred, I really want to know something. How are your relationships with other countries? Uhhm, you know, do you get along well with UK and Russia, for example?"
" Yeah, sure, they are all my bros. We're in good terms at the moment. We have to maintain world peace and stuff. I was kind of forbidden to talk to Russia during the Cold War 'n I don't think he liked me very much back then, but everything is totally different now and we're, like, best buddies, y'a know. And England – he can be kind of annoying from time to time with his tsun-tsun personality, but he's actually a pretty nice guy. Many people think he's sorta weak and I don't fucking know why! He can be tough as a rock whenever he wants and is a freaken' awesome leader, too."
Kona could barely keep the happy tears in her eyes – the lovely man who was sitting in front of her, coming directly from her favorite show. And the thought of the other nations, of his interactions with them just left her in ecstasy. So the nation-tans did really exist? Her imagination was running wild – were these great boys really a part of history, did they really make the world the way it is today? Or were they created by Himaruya's imagination? But how had they come to live then? It was all so fantastic.
She was thinking: would Alfred let her to meet the other nations?
"Here you go sir, two peach teas."
Kona took a sip from her glass. The sweet, refreshing taste of the drink was enough to calm her grand thoughts and bring her back to earth.
"So baby, why don't you tell me something more about yourself? What else do you like doing besides writing?"
"Ah, well," the young lady let off the straw and smiled at America sweetly, "I like painting, studying, reading books, scuba diving, watching anime, just the usual stuff. I'm a pretty ordinary young girl."
"I see," Alfred said with a gleam in his eyes," which is your favorite anime?"
"I love magical girls and slice-of-life genre. My favorite animes are Lucky Star, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and many others. And Hetalia, of course."
"Oh, I see, magical girls rock!" her friend said in vibrant voice, his cheerful eyes still fixated on her face. "By the way, this is pretty delicious tea, don't you think? Although I personally prefer whiskey. Fucking great drink. Ya know, Scotland once gave me a bottle of it for my birthday. My, that was some good alcohol!"
Kona suddenly snapped. That line… it sounded so familiar. Where had she heard it? Or could she have read it somewhere, may be in Himaruya's manga or in some doujin? Or did she write it herself? Her mind was racing, it all sounded extremely familiar, she had seen it somewhere before, but where? She couldn't put her finger on it. Did America really drink whiskey? And wasn't Scotland an original character anyway? And was it all that important – well, probably not. Calm down Kona.
"Are you okay?" America asked with a concerned tone in his voice. "You have been only staring in one direction. Is something the matter?"
"Ah, oh no, no, don't worry. Um, I was just thinking about how delicious the tea is, I really love it." She tried to shake off the awkwardness and smile.
After a few more peach teas, a few pieces of chocolate cake, laughs and many topics discussed between the two with which I find it not necessary to bother you, the couple decided to pay the bill and go somewhere more fun.
" Don't worry babe, I'll pay the bill, I have plenty of cash."
"Thank you, you're so generous" the girl was still filled with joy. Not only was her friend super hot, funny and nice to her, but to top everything, he was rich, too.
She could not ignore the fact that he looked a bit different than some fans portray him – he was slimmer in real life but still very athletically built, actually nothing in common with the chubby image many artist typecast him in. Although Kona preferred pudgier men, she definitely knew that she could in no way say "No" to the guy next to her. He was perfect the way he was.
A slight feel of remorse was settling in the girl's dizzy mind. So much had happened today but she still couldn't ignore the fact that she had created some pretty nasty works involving her friend. She knew that he was not the weak crybaby she wrote him as at all, he could kick everybody's ass if he wanted. Did he know what exactly she had written, she wondered. The girl hoped that this never happens. But even in the opposite case, Alfred was actually so nice and sweet, that she convinced herself that he could be able to just take everything as a joke and forgive her.
"Where do you want to go now, darling?"
The mild feeling of dizziness from before was growing somewhat strong in Kona's head but she didn't care at all. It felt as if she was in zero gravity, floating somewhere in space, her legs feeling absolutely light and nonexistent.
"Ahm, whenever you take me, baby, uguuuu," her head was spinning," I want to, I want to see the rest of the Hetalia cast, darling, woohoo!"
"Your wish is my command!" Alfred winked at her and took Kona in his arms. He called a taxi, they got together inside and were driven in an unknown direction…
