I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day,
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
England sat on the ship on a cold winter's afternoon, his fingers on his wrists as he frowned in pain, trying to resist his seasickness. The Allies were travelling to his own country to visit, and although he was especially happy about this, the horrible sickening feeling took most of his joy away. China and Russia were talking to each other, eating some tasty snacks- how on earth do they stomach that?!- and France was steering the ship. England had argued over this- yes, he had screamed that it was utter nonsense- but he had to agree that France wasn't seasick, and neither were the others. America was nowhere to be found-
"HEY! IGGY!"
Oh, there he was.
America came galumphing down the ship towards him, plonking himself down next to England and grinning. "You feeling a little better now?"
"No."
"Well, I'm sure you'll be OK soon! Look, we're almost there!" America pointed dramatically at the vast expanse of sea in front of them. England didn't bother to look upward.
"No we're not, idiot. We've still got quite a while to go." he mumbled, his face screwed up and his eyes closed. "Damn it…it hurts…"
America looked at England with a mixture of sadness and pity, then gasped loudly and smirked. "I think someone's asking for a hug here..."
England moved away defensively. "No, I'm not!"
"I know what you're like, Iggy! Get over here!" America reached for England, who reluctantly stopped moving as America wrapped his arms tightly around him and gave him a hug, resting his head on England's shoulder and laughing. "Best hug of your life, huh? Yes! I am the hero of hugs!"
"It wasn't the best…but it'll do, I guess." England laughed, trying not to focus on the queasiness he was experiencing. America always tried hard to help him when he was down, perhaps too hard. It wasn't something the others would do, though, for sure.
England decided to focus on a spell he could curse France with for the rest of the way, and closed his eyes, concentrating. He still had some way to go.
"Hey, Iggy! We're here!"
Yes, yes, I think I've got it now. Perfect! Now I just need to-
"Hellooooo? Anyone in theeeeere?"
As I was saying, that frog will get exactly what's coming to him-
"You do know Sealand's waiting for you, right? C'mon!"
He'll regret everytime he tried to flirt with me, the mighty-
"ENGLAAAAAAAAAAAND!"
"WHAT IS IT?! I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE HERE!" he shouted back at America, who was grinning in front of him.
"We're here! Took you long enough to notice!" America laughed, watching England's face light up in relief.
We're here, thank goodness. Now if I could just-
"Oh, oh, England, hi!" England felt another pair of arms wrapped around him nearer to his waist, and looked down at the tiny form of Sealand below him. "I missed you! It gets lonely, even for a micronation, you know?"
England stared for a moment, before chuckling and ruffling Sealand's hair affectionately. "I had no intention of leaving you alone forever, I promise. Though I'd like nothing more than to leave those two forever…" He pointed at France and America, who gasped and came running towards him.
"But England! I'm your friend! I live right across from you on the Channel!"
"Oi, don't listen to him, I'm your best buddy! I was born for friendship!"
England shook his head as the two began to fight and argue over his supposed 'friendship'.
If this is what Christmas will be like with them two, I'm not looking forward to it, that's for sure…
But I think I can survive.
I didn't write Iggy that well, did I? Whoops. xP
Sorry if I disappointed you, whoever gave me the request for Iggy and America and just general friendly interaction xD
Oh and thank you so much for the reviews on last chapter! I'm deathly scared that if I write Chibiromano and Spain cuteness, I'll mess up, so I did my angsty stuffs. I love angst :D
Anyway, I'll see you all tomorrow, and have a great day/night/trip to space! :D
