Canada and Romano sat down on France's balcony that overlooked the city of Paris.
It was cold but breathtaking.
Snow fell lightly on every surface they could see.
The sun began to set behind the city.
Everything about this moment was absolutely beautiful.
Romano sighed; for once his anger was gone.
He felt himself get sleepy and his eyes closed for a second.
He began to drift when he heard America's loud laugh come from France's living room.
"Sup bros!" America shouted.
The loud American ran out onto the balcony.
"Hey! Merry Christmas!" America grinned.
Canada remained calm, America meant well…plus it was Christmas eve.
Romano desperately held on to his patience.
"Merry Christmas…" Romano mumbled.
There was a knock at the door and England's voice was heard, "Hello France. Merry Christmas." He said politely walking out onto to the balcony.
"Hello." England greeted the other countries and sat down next to America.
America fell silent; he was amazed by the beauty of Paris at night.
The lights filled in the darkness.
"This…is….epic." America said a soft smiled on his face.
Finally Italy arrived; he hugged France and ran onto the balcony to everyone.
He sat on Romano's lap. "Fratello! It's been so long I missed you!"
Romano smiled a bit and hugged Italy, "Merry Christmas."
Silence fell over the countries again.
France stepped out onto the balcony with a plate of cheese and a sliced up baguette in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.
He sat down next to Canada and wrapped a blanket around the smaller, quieter country.
"Merry Christmas." France whispered.
They sat in silence for a while just looking at each other and enjoying the food.
Then they heard a faint, "ve-meow.", from inside.
"Oh yea, Italy we have a present for you." Canada said remembering the cat.
Italy smiled his arms around Romano and his head on his brother's shoulder.
Canada got up and went to retrieve the cat, bringing it outside; he put it on Italy's lap.
"Grazi!" Italy laughed hugging the cat.
They all had a very peaceful night and a wonderful Christmas the next day.
