Chapter 33: Fall in love Mademoiselle

France smiled and walked out of the living room into the kitchen, there was a hockey game on and he knew better then to stay in the same room as Canada when there was a game on. America sat down next to his brother "So bro. Who is against who?" he asked.

"Not sure." Canada said softly as he flicked on the channel. Aurelian sat in between them hugging his bear cub happily. Kumajiro slunk out the room she wasn't stupid she knew better then to stay there.

England sat at the table in the kitchen sipping tea "Hockey game?"

"Hockey game." France smiled.

The announcer started talking and Canada shushed America "Welcome back viewers and tonight's match is Canada versus America."

America paled and looked over at Canada whose shy face broke into a dark grin. He whimpered he knew he was in for a lot of pain…

England laughed as he heard cheering from Canada and yelping from America "What is going on?"

"Seems like it's America vs Canada." France laughed.

There were happy cheers from Aurelian as well and more yelps and whines from America. Canada punched him hard in the arm "I beat your ass!"

Aurelian punched him in the leg "Yes Uncle! We beat your butt!"

America rubbed his arm "Fine fine let me get you a drink to celebrate."

Canada grinned "You better put yours in a sippy cup because baby I OWN you!"

America pouted and walked in the kitchen "Baaabe I hate my brother."

England smiled "Did Canada win?"

"Do you really have to ask?" America rubbed his leg "Shit he's crafting his kid into a little bastard with hockey too."

France laughed "Why do you think I stay in here during Hockey? Usually Mathieu and Aurelian hug each other but if someone else is there they get abusive."

America pouted again "It huuuurts!"

Aurelian happily trotted in and climbed up onto England's lap "Hello Uncle~"

"Hello love aren't you a little too old to sit on my lap?" He smiled.

"Yup!" Aurelian rubbed his cheek in his chest "I'm happy we won~"

"I bet you are." England smiled. He yelped as Aurelian's hand slid up his sweater. "N-no we don't do that."

Aurelian looked at him cutely "But Papa told me that skin to skin is best to show love~"

"I bet he did." He glared at France who laughed.

Canada walked into the kitchen looking innocent like butter wouldn't melt, he wrapped his arms around America and nuzzled his neck, America went limp "Meeh why do you do this?!" he whined "Why do you act all adorable after beating the hell out of me?"

Canada giggled and blew on his neck, America yelped and leapt at England "Iggyeee!"

England laughed again and patted his head "Poor America being bullied by his cute lickle brother~"

France hugged Canada "He is cute~ so so so cute!" he rubbed his cheek on Canada's head who smiled sweetly.

Aurelian cheered and ran up to his daddy "Am I cute too Papa?"

"Oui of course you are~" he smiled patting him on the head fondly.

Aurelian smiled "Good~"

XxX

Canada watched France sing along to Aurelian's music while the younger laughed happily and danced around the living room. He smiled, his son and husband were always so amusing~ he shyly stepped in and France noticed him. He took Canada's hand "Bonjour mon cheri~"

Aurelian seized his other hand "Dance with me Maman~"

Canada giggled "Aurelian~ I just got a call from your teacher."

France pressed pause on the CD player, Aurelian looked worried "Wh-what did I do now?"

"Nothing." Canada smiled "She was telling me how proud she is of you, you're thinking of entering the annual school play right?"

"Yes." Aurelian smiled "My homework is to write a script."

Canada smiled "Can you have help?"

"Oui I can…can you two help me?" he asked suddenly becoming shy.

France kissed his son's cheek "Of course we can!"

Aurelian cheered happily "You will?"

France laughed "Of course I will."

Canada smiled and patted his son on the head "Let's go and help write you a script."

Aurelian happily skipped to the kitchen.

Back at school Aurelian handed in his script, the teacher; a very kind young lady named Isabella Chime smiled at him "Thank you Aurelian." She was a very bright woman who had soft grey eyes and golden blonde hair that trailed into a long plait down her waist she usually had pencils behind her ear or in her hair and a long red ribbon tying the bottom of her plait. She smiled at them all "Tobias sweetheart did you give me your script?"

"Yes Miss Chime!" he called out happily, he handed her his script.

She flicked through it ignoring the grease stains and chocolate smudges on the pages "Thank you very much Tobias. Now while I read through all these lovely pieces of work how about you guys have a go at drawing what the characters look like in your scripts."

Tobias looked happy "Do you have silver pens? I need to draw a large silver H on my dude's chest!"

Isabella smiled "I'm sure I can find some somewhere." She opened her cupboard and looked in the drawers "Oh here we are." She took out the large drawer and placed it on the table "There are pencils, pens, paints, papers and glitter."

Aurelian stuck out his tongue and carefully drew the princess in his play, he looked over at Avery who was smiling softly as he drew happily, the sun shimmered through his hair and his emerald eyes seemed much brighter than usual today. He drew the beautiful princess carefully he had his father's talent for art. He daubed paint on his brush and painted painstakingly careful as possible.

Avery looked over at him and smiled his eyes sparkling, Aurelian blushed heavily and looked down he liked him…REALLY liked him…b-but it was wrong! Avery was his cousin! He sighed and looked down at the princess on his picture; it was a beautiful princess with emerald eyes, soft pink lips and long golden flowing hair. He swallowed thickly and painted the mermaid tail in a dark jade green to compliment the eyes. He sighed softly and held his tummy he felt it flip sometimes whenever they caught eyes.

Tobias looked over at his cousin and frowned when he noticed Avery was looking at him, he wrote a quick note and slid it across to him. Aurelian blinked and read it "Hey! Are you hitting on my brother?"

Aurelian rolled his eyes and wrote back "Don't be stupid. How can I be hitting on him when all I'm doing is drawing?"

Tobias pouted and wrote back "Good point…"

Isabella clapped her hands together "Times up children~ I have picked my winners for the plays. I couldn't decide between two plays. So we shall do both~ one of them is Aurelian's "The Mermaid Princess" it's about a beautiful princess who is found washed up on the beach and found by a man who takes her home and nurses her back to health only for the two to fall in love. And the second one is Avery's "Betrayal and Love" it's about the American Revolution but from Mr America and Mr England's point of view."

Avery smiled "My mummy and daddy will love that story!"

Tobias shoved his hand in the air "Can I be Daddy?"

Isabella laughed "Of course you can darling. Do you want to be Mr England Avery?"

Avery nodded smiling "Yes please."

Isabella smiled "Very well now I think for the beautiful Princess how about you Elfriede?"

Elfriede looked at her horrified "I-I can give it a try I-I guess."

Isabella smiled "Of course." She looked around for the boy who would be most suitable for the young boy who would be the lover. She giggled to herself who else would match the personality better than the charmingly cute Aurelian~ plus his father looked like a faery tale Prince. She blushed lightly at the thought and shook her head "Okay then children tomorrow we will go through our lines and I will get you all a script each of the winning scripts."

Elfriede looked nervous she didn't want to be an actress! She was incredibly shy when all the attention was on her she was a little bit like her Father. Even though he was the head speaker at every World Meeting she saw how much he would pace in front of the mirror in his bedroom sweating and shaking.

Aurelian sighed softly he had hoped that it would be Avery who would be the Mermaid Princess but that was foolish! As if the teacher would pick a boy when there were so many cute and pretty girls out there, I mean Gilbertra looked unusual with her odd colouring of her eyes and her moonlight like hair. Then there was the obvious candidate Elfriede with her golden spun hair and bright summer blue eyes, she looked like an angel straight from a Raphael painting, and of course the delicate Asian girl Xiaolian who had soft ebony hair that complimented her porcelain skin tone, her small frame made her look like a delicate doll. He sighed again why couldn't it be Avery?! He was prettier than all the girls put together! He got jerked from his thoughts as the bell went; he hurriedly stood up and piled his books in his bag "Children don't forget tomorrow we will be going through the scripts."

Gilbertra slung her arm around Aurelian's shoulders "Hey! So you won! Your play better have some fighting in there!"

Aurelian laughed "Of course there is. Another man spots the princess and falls in love with her too, so there is a fight to win her heart."

Gilbertra pretended to gag "Ew gross. Why did you write something so corny?"

"And what was your story?" Aurelian pouted "How awesome you are?"

Marcus smiled happily "Mine was about finding a magical tomato seed and when I planted it, it grew into a giant tomato! And I carved out the insides and had my own tomato house~"

Gilbertra grabbed his head in a lock and rubbed her knuckles on his head "Your brain is a tomato I swear if I do this hard enough tomato juice will come pouring out of your ears!"

"No! Gilly stoooop!" Marcus yelled flailing his arms around "Please stop!"

Aurelian giggled watching his friends pretend to fight. Marcus knocked her chest by accident "Ow! My chest is sore lately!" she winced.

Marcus looked puzzled "Si really?"

"Really!" Gilbertra rubbed her chest "I dunno why!"

Marcus looked at it confused "Hey! Why are you sticking out more here? Are you bruised?" he poked her chest and she squealed in shock.

"Don't touch that! Wh-where did that come from? Ahh! There's one on the other side too!" she screeched.

Marcus looked worried, Aurelian smiled "My Papa told me that sometime I will notice the girls around me growing lumps on their chest and that is normal."

"I don't want lumps! How will I climb a tree now?" Gilbertra pouted.

Marcus smiled "I dunno…"

Aurelian smiled as well "Come with me! Papa knows all about older stuff so he will tell us what it means."

Gilbertra nodded her worry going slightly.

XxX

Canada sighed softly and watched France clean the kitchen "F-Francis…" he whispered. He cleared his throat and tried again "Francis!"

France turned around "Hm?"

"C-can…um…you know tonight…c-can we-I-I mean can I t-t-top?"

France grinned and walked over to him "You wish to top me?"

"O-oui…I-I mean I have done it before b-but not in a while!" Canada started to become flustered and red.

France cupped his face loving how cute he looked "Mon chéri you don't even have to ask when 'ave I ever been a selfish lover?"

"N-never." Canada smiled at him.

France kissed his little nose "Well then~" he stroked his curl idly Canada winced and bit his lip. "So do not be worried about asking me things. If you wanted me to be a girl I would go straight to Angleterre and get a spell put on moi."

Canada blushed "W-well let's not rush things." He placed his hands over France's and smiled "Our child is going to audition for his winning play."

France smiled "I love how proud you look."

"Oui of course! I am very proud my son is artistic and even if he wasn't and just won an award for I dunno maths or sport I would still be very proud of him." Canada smiled. He thought his adorable son was perfect in every way he didn't care that he wasn't very good at science and failed to show even the slightest bit of interest in chemical reactions he just loved him for trying.

France smiled "You can top me tonight. I look forward to it."

Canada blushed again and pushed on him shyly "Y-you idiot."

France laughed lightly and hugged him. "Oui I know."

Aurelian watched Isabella hand out scripts "We shall be performing Aurelian's script first then we will do Avery's."

Avery smiled happily "Oh good~"

Elfriede stuck a shaky hand in the air "Wh-when do we have to audition for the parts?"

"We will do that tomorrow right now let's just go through the script okay sweetheart?" Isabella smiled at her.

Elfriede nodded and flicked to the part with the princess hoping she was a mute one like the Little Mermaid, unfortunately for her though…it wasn't. She whimpered and read through her words her hands shaking the pages why did SHE have to be the princess?! The words the Prince said was "Your eyes are beautiful…they look like trapped emeralds." And the Princess replied "Most mermaids contain this colour in their eyes because we represent the oceans depth." HER eyes weren't green! Why couldn't…Avery do it…he could wear a wig…

Avery stuck his hand in the air "Miss Chime?"

"Yes sweetheart?" Isabella smiled.

"I notice in this script the man who looks after her dies." Avery blinked "So does that mean we have to practise our crying?"

Isabella smiled "Well if you wish I mean you're all just young children so no one will be expecting you all to get it perfect."

Avery frowned "Hm…I suppose so…"

Aurelian smiled "So shall we get auditioning Miss Chime?"

Isabella smiled "Of course we can."

After the auditions Isabella sighed Elfriede wasn't as graceful as she imagined…the poor child was petrified and said her lines in a monotone manner and yelled some things. She looked at the pretty Asian girl who was muttering the lines her eyes full of concentration even she lacked the emotion. Well…like she said…no one was expecting them to be perfect…right?

Avery tapped Isabella on the arm "Miss Chime I can't help but notice no girl is perfect enough for the role of the Princess. Anaztazia just giggled all through her lines, Elfriede is so nervous she's almost peeing herself. Xiaolian is too serious and Gilbertra just plays around. So why not give me a go?"

Isabella blinked and nodded "Sure what else do I have to lose?"

Avery smiled "Okay~" he stood in the front "Everyone stop larking about! I am going to try out for the role of the Princess!"

Tobias looked at Avery "Hey! Miss I changed my mind! Can I be the Princess' dude?!"

Avery rolled his eyes and smiled as he found the perfect scene; the one where the Princess declares her love for the man. "I understand what you are saying." He said softly "I really do. You tell me that you love me with such passion…but I don't know if I should accept it. For my people would never allow it." He held a hand to his chest "But even though I know this…I cannot stop what is in my heart. It wasn't my people who came to me when I was lying on that beach half dead…'twas you." He smiled his eyes shimmering "So I ask myself…if I had to choose between home and heart. I would forever choose you; my heart."

Isabella smiled and clapped "That was wonderful Avery!"

Aurelian smiled Avery really was wonderful. It really showed that his Mother came from the land of acting and performing. "Am I still the man who loves her?"

Isabella smiled "Of course you are. You perfected it~"

Tobias pouted hard and stabbed his finger at the script "Then who shall I be?"

Isabella looked thoughtful "What about the rival?"

Tobias nodded slowly "Okay."

Avery smiled happily pushing his glasses back up his nose "I can't wait to tell Mummy~"

After school Aurelian waited outside with Gilbertra and Marcus. Avery smiled and ran up to his parents "Mummy! I got the part~ I am the Mermaid Princess."

America blinked "But dude that's a chick's part!"

England rolled his eyes "Honestly! In Shakespearian times women weren't allowed to perform so pretty men or young boys played the parts of the main women."

"Oh wow! That's so cool." America grinned.

Tobias smiled "I'm the rival! Aurelian is Avery's boyfriend in the play."

England smiled "Oh how nice come on in you two."

Gilbertra smirked "You planned for Avery to be the princess huh?"

Aurelian blushed "N-no."

Marcus giggled "There is a kissing scene~"

"Yeah! Good point!" Gilbertra nodded "There is a kissing scene! Why would you write that?"

"Th-that was my Papa's!" Aurelian blushed "I-it was his idea! H-he said to get me a cute girlfriend!"

"Now you're getting a boyfriend." Gilbertra laughed "You like him just admit it!"

Marcus nodded eagerly. Aurelian snorted "He is my cousin! That's so sick! An-and besides Miss Chime said we won't even be doing the scene!"

Gilbertra rolled her eyes "So are my parents technically! All of the countries are related somehow along the line."

Aurelian blushed deeper "W-well…I do like him…"

"I knew it." Aurelian squeaked and looked up to see his Father smirking at him.

Canada smiled "You have a crush on Avery? How cute~"

Aurelian pulled Vancouver out of his rucksack and buried his face in his soft fur "S-stop iiit!" he whined.

Vancouver licked his red cheeks happily. Canada smiled and knelt down next to his son "It's okay Aurelian we still love you no matter who you have a little crush on."

France nodded "Oui~"

Gilbertra hugged him hard "Us too!"

Marcus nodded "Si! Can I tell you a secret~" he leaned in close and whispered "I have a crush on a girl too." He whispered.

Aurelian lifted his head "Oui?"

Marcus nodded "Si!"

Gilbertra's eyes widened "Tell us!"

Marcus looked over at the gates "Oh I see my Mama byeeeee!" he ran off to his car.

Gilbertra pouted "I wonder who his crush is…"

France grinned having a small idea. "Come on Aurelian let's go." He took his hand and walked away with him. Prussia grabbed his daughter roughly under his arm and shoved her in the car happily she was laughing and squealing, France laughed hearing Austria shouting at him.

Aurelian happily chattered to his parents about the play on the way home and his day at school but he mostly talked about Music, Art and Performing Arts, his favourite subjects. Canada smiled "How are you getting on in Science?"

Aurelian pulled a face "Not so well…"

France smiled "We won't hate you if you fail it you know."

Aurelian nodded "Yeah what do I need Science for? I'll just hire a scientist and then I will travel the world and explore all the arts~"

France laughed "You really love art hm?"

Aurelian smiled "I love Music too! I find different music fascinating and the only sport I like is hockey."

Canada nodded "Good."

France shook his head "You can tell you are our child sweet'eart~"

Aurelian smiled happily "Yup!"

Night fell and Aurelian was tucked up in bed, Canada undressed shyly his hands shook as he pulled his t-shirt off. He was nervous, he had topped France before but it was many years ago. He looked at France who came out of the bathroom in a towel he smiled at him. Canada smiled back his nerves going he knew France wouldn't be offended if he did a bad job…and even if he did France would guide him to do it right so it's pleasurable for them both like he did the first time he topped him. He sat down on the side of the bed, France sat down too "Are you nervous Mon chere?"

Canada blushed "A little."

France cupped his face "Sit back on ze bed."

Canada did so curious, he blushed again as France crawled onto the bed and straddled him "I will ride you mon chéri~" he smiled "But do not worry you will be taking ze lead. Like the handsome man you are." He kissed Canada's chin.

Canada smiled and cupped France's face "Je t'aime." He murmured, he pressed a gentle kiss to France's lips. France felt a blush appearing on his own cheeks which was rare as it took a lot to make him blush. He felt Canada's fingers slide down to cup his neck, his other hand trailed down to his chest. France was glad he had shaved his chest for this; he knew it would make Canada more dominant if he didn't get reminded of his masculinity. Canada pushed his tongue in between France's lips and pulled him close to him. France felt himself getting light headed it was such a thrill for him to take a backseat and let the other dominate his body.

Canada slid his other hand down and pulled off his towel and with one fluid motion he had cupped France's member. France gasped in the kiss his hands resting on Canada's chest twitched slightly as Canada moved his hand up and down slowly. France broke from the kiss and gasped he rested his head on Canada's forehead "M-Mathieu." He moaned.

"Francis it will feel better." Canada smiled he let go of him and pulled out the lube and condom from the bedside cupboard.

France watched him unscrew the cap and pour lube on his fingers; Canada gave him a small smirk that sent a shiver down his spine. He released a small whimper as Canada circled his entrance; France raised his hips to give the younger a chance to slip his fingers inside. Canada took that chance and slipped two inside. France gasped his hands balling into fists "M-Mathieu!" he cried out.

Canada smiled "Does it hurt?"

"N-non…j-just…it's been a while." France smiled at him.

Canada nodded and slowly moved them "Let me know if it hurts."

France kissed him gently wrapping his arms around his neck, Canada was a little shocked at the kiss but he kissed back. He slid his fingers in deeper feeling the bundle of nerves he touched them and France moaned deeply in the kiss, he could feel France's body shuddering against his. He wound his other arm around France's back holding him close to him. He gently removed his fingers and broke free from the kiss. France panted softly and took the lube "C-Can I?"

Canada blinked and nodded a little puzzled. He gasped as France slicked up his fingers and stroked his member spreading the lube all over him coating him in the fluid. He moaned his hands flying to grip the bedcovers. France smiled and sat up; he shuffled up into position again and pushed him against his entrance. Canada let him do this as he often guided France into himself when he was riding him too, so he knew that's what he wanted. He sank his teeth into his bottom lip at the tightness surrounding him. "F-Francis!" he moaned.

France cried out and panted as he was fully seated on his lover. Canada wound his arms around him again and slowly moved his hips in a gentle rhythm. France moaned softly he moved his own hips in time with his lover's, his hands gripped Canada's shoulders to gain a feeling of stability. Canada kissed his exposed neck and sucked lightly on the collar bone wanting to mark him as his own. France moaned feeling teeth sink into his skin, his nails sank into Canada's shoulders. He moaned deeply as he felt his sweet spot collide gloriously with Canada's member. He gasped out his lover's name, his lips swollen from their previous kiss. He arched his back his hands leaving the younger's torso to grip his leg behind him "M-Mathieu." He cried out.

Canada smiled and sat up to kiss him; he brought him close and showed him all the love he could through this wonderful connection. France broke the kiss again and pressed his forehead against Canada's "M-Mathieu." He murmured.

Canada smiled "Je t'aime." He whispered again.

France stuttered out his reply "J-je t-t'aime." He cried out loudly as he came heavily coating Canada's stomach and chest with his essence. Canada cried out and came too filling up his lover.

France went limp against him "Merci…" he whispered.

Canada cupped his face and smiled "It should be me thanking you." He kissed him again.

XxX

Aurelian looked nervous it was the day of their play he looked at Avery who was adjusting the long mermaid dress; he smiled at him "Don't look so scared. It's me who has to go first."

Aurelian nodded "It's Uncle Iggy I'm nervous about."

Tobias pouted "I thought Mom told you not to call her that."

Aurelian nodded "I know…force of habit I guess."

Elfriede smiled happily she was glad she was a helper backstage with her cousin Gilbertra; Isabella had a horrible feeling it was going to be a disaster.

England looked at France curiously, something seemed different about him but he couldn't tell what it was. France smiled "Bonjour Angleterre~ our children will be so cute!"

America laughed happily "Dude what's with the giant ass hickey?"

France blushed heavily "Wh-what?"

England blinked he could see it now, there was a love bite on France's throat peering out from under his hair "Oh bloody hell that's huge!" he grabbed France's hair and yanked it up "What were you dating a sodding vampire?"

Canada blushed heavily and looked away. America grinned "Mattie you whore~" he slapped his brother on the back "You topped him huh?"

Canada squeaked and took his seat "Sh-shut up."

England grinned and took his own too "See France I told you that the only thing you enjoy is being fucked~"

America blew on England's ear making him yelp "So do you."

England blushed and stuttered but was interrupted by Isabella coming on stage "Bugger me she has a nice set on her."

America rolled his eyes "That's your kid's teacher pervert." He muttered.

Isabella smiled "Thank you for coming. Today's play is written by Aurelian Bonnefoy. He tried really hard and your children are about to perform the play." She walked off as the place went dark.

Xiaolian walked onstage and bowed respectfully "Once upon a time there was a beautiful Princess, but she was unlike any other Princess she was one of the sea. She fell in love with a human boy and this is their story." She walked offstage again.

When the lights came back on Avery was sitting on a rock gazing out to the sea (which was technically a backdrop), he smiled "The human world is fascinating."

Aurelian entered the stage; Avery dived off the rock and hid behind it. Aurelian looked around and set up an easel and started to paint. Avery peered around the rock wanting to see what the painting looked like. Aurelian looked over and spotted him "Oh!" he fell off the seat in shock.

Avery gasped and dived into the water away from him (just fabric on the floor but it was to symbolise water). Aurelian walked over to the water's edge and touched it "Hey don't be scared…I won't hurt you." He sighed and gave up and left.

When it all went dark again he left the stage and Xiaolian replaced him once it became light again "One stormy day the Painter looked out to sea, what he saw was a figure lying on the beach. He thought perhaps it was just a piece of driftwood but he had to be sure. So leaving his house during lightning and rain he went to see who or what was lying on the sand."

Marcus was in charge of sound effects and lighting he flicked the switches for rain and thunder, he pressed the light to make it go dark and flash as lightning when the time needed it.

Aurelian leaned down next to Avery's seemingly unconscious body "It's you." He said softly and picked him up. Avery opened his eyes slightly to see Aurelian smile at him. Avery blushed and closed his eyes quickly. The stage went dark again as Gilbertra and Elfriede changed the stage to match a bedroom there was a loud thump and a yelp and hurried whispers "Gilbertra you slammed the bed into my foot."

"Sorry sorry." Gilbertra whispered "It's dark I can only just about see the crosses that's marked for the things." Prussia cackled softly and Gilbertra heard him. She giggled and dragged her cousin off stage after they were all set up.

Aurelian came back onstage once it was lit up, the light glared in his eyes Marcus had accidentally turned the wrong light on, it was supposed to illuminate the bed not Aurelian but he dealt with it professionally and walked out of the glare trying his hardest not to squint. He laid Avery on the bed as best he could considering all he could see were white dots in his eyes. Avery wriggled into the middle using Aurelian's body as a cover so he didn't fall off the bed.

Avery opened his eyes and looked at Aurelian who had moved slightly so the audience could see him "Oh! Where am I?"

Aurelian walked to the other side of the bed and took his hand "I found you on the beach are you okay what happened?"

Avery looked sad "I was washed ashore during the storm…I'm not sure what else happened."

Aurelian nodded "Is there anything I could do for you?"

Avery nodded "I need to be in water if I don't then my scales will crack and fall off and that would be very painful."

Aurelian smiled "Then I shall put you in a bathtub."

The stage went dark again and Xiaolian appeared on stage "Many years had passed and even though the Princess had rested up and healed she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye to the man. You see they had fallen in love but it was a secret love as each didn't know of the others feelings. But it was not all sunshine and roses, for there was another man who came to know of the pretty mermaid. He was the friend of the young man's and he too was about to fall in love." she left the stage and it opened up to Aurelian sitting at a table while Avery splashed around in a tub of water (aka blue fabric). Tobias knocked on a fake door.

Aurelian answered "Hello?"

Tobias smiled "Hey it's been a while since we last hung out! So what shall we do today?" he barged in despite Aurelian's protests.

"H-hey wait!"

Tobias blinked seeing the mermaid Princess "Wh-who is she?"

Aurelian sighed "I'm sorry…she's…a friend of mine."

Avery pushed his tail down into the water "I-I'm sorry."

Tobias walked up to her "So that's why you haven't seen me in ages I thought it was because you were painting."

Aurelian sighed "I have been painting." He showed him various portraits and paintings of the mermaid.

Tobias touched them "Wow they're beautiful!"

Aurelian smiled softly he did actually paint all those paintings himself and he had to admit he was proud of them especially the one that depicted Aurelian in the mermaid dress sitting in the bathtub and twirling his tail fins in the beautiful water. Of course he exaggerated the painting slightly to make it more realistic; he painted a real tail fin and long blonde hair and glittering blue sea water. Tobias stared at one of Avery sitting on the bed, it was normal Avery not mermaid Avery…he was playing with his Unicorn plushie shyly and smiling at the painter which was obviously Aurelian. He glared at him a little bit but he continued the play. "Why are they all mermaids?"

Aurelian smiled softly "If I tell you a secret will you promise you won't laugh at me?"

Tobias nodded "Come on dude I'm your best friend!"

Aurelian led him over to the bathtub "You see I found a beautiful mermaid washed up on the beach and she was hurt. I nursed her back to health."

Tobias gasped "Then you have to let her go! She can't stay here!"

Aurelian nodded "Don't you think I know that?!"

Avery held out a hand "Please I hope I'm not intruding."

Aurelian took it gently "Not at all." He smiled.

Tobias pouted and kicked Aurelian's leg accidentally on purpose he hated how they were looking at each other! E-ever since he was a kid he vowed HE would marry Avery and be like their mother and father! Aurelian shot him a glare but ignored it. Avery glanced at Tobias and smiled at Aurelian "Thank you."

The stage went dark once more and Xiaolian came back on stage "The man's friend has fallen deeply in love with the Princess and he vowed he would marry her. After he heard the two announce their true love to each other he couldn't bear it and rife with jealousy he took up his weapon and vowed to kill the man."

Aurelian knelt in front of Avery in the bathtub, Avery wriggled slightly his butt was going numb and his legs had fallen asleep stuck in that one position thanks to the costume. Aurelian took his hand "My Princess I feel that I have fallen deeply in love with you. Please will you stay here with me forever?"

"I-I can't…" Avery shook his head.

"But…my Princes I am declaring my love for you!" Aurelian protested.

"I understand what you are saying." Avery said softly "I really do. You tell me that you love me with such passion…but I don't know if I should accept it. For my people would never allow it." He cupped Aurelian's face "But even though I know this…I cannot stop what is in my heart. It wasn't my people who came to me when I was lying on that beach half dead…'twas you." He smiled his eyes shimmering "So I ask myself…if I had to choose between home and heart. I would forever choose you; my heart." He held a hand to his chest.

Aurelian hugged him and pressed his lips to Avery's whose eyes widened. That wasn't in the script! Avery blushed heavily at the kiss he didn't expect this to happen. He slowly reached out and pressed his hands on Aurelian's chest; he slowly kissed back and broke it blushing. "P-please don't." he whispered hoping he could make it match the play somehow.

Aurelian blushed "S-sorry my love." He whispered. Gilbertra flashed him a grin from the wings but he ignored her.

Tobias grabbed a fake gun and barged on stage "I will kill you!" he yelled.

Aurelian darted back and grabbed a fake sword "My friend why are you being this way?"

Tobias glared at him and looked at Avery who scowled before turning his expression into a look of horror, he remembered he was in a play "B-because I love her! So if I kill you then she will be mine!"

Aurelian nodded "Then let us fight my friend even though it pains me."

Tobias nodded "Your sword will have no match for my bullet." He fired the fake gun which issued a loud bang but no bullet, Aurelian dodged out the way of the pretend bullet and slashed at Tobias' leg. Naturally it was a fake sword made of rubber so it didn't hurt him at all. Tobias faked a yell of pain and shot him again. Aurelian gasped and held his stomach.

"W-with my final breath I vow to take you down with me." He stabbed the "sword" into Tobias' chest making him fall to the floor.

"H-how ironic." He muttered "It is my heart that hurts when I saw you two together…and now it is my heart that will end me…" he faked dying.

Aurelian fell to the floor he crunched up a fake blood pastille in between his fingers to stain the cloth and his hand. "I-I am…dying…" he whispered.

Avery climbed out of the bath and landed next to him "No! Please do not die! I just chose a life with you!" he grabbed his shoulders "Please! I love you don't die!" tears bloomed in Avery's eyes as he looked at Aurelian's face "Please…don't…die." He started to cry and Aurelian smiled softly.

"My love…" he took a last breath and held it.

Avery sobbed on his body "Nooo!" he cried. There were sounds of cracking as the gold light shone on the two. Avery wriggled slightly to flick the fake removable scales off his costume. He slid his legs out of the tail and hugged Aurelian who placed a hand on his head.

"Your tears…they have revived me." Aurelian whispered.

Avery dried his eyes and smiled at him "My love!" he threw his arms around his neck "M-my scales cracked from being away from the water!"

Aurelian gasped looking "And it gave you legs!"

"Yes!" Aurelian grinned.

The stage ended to darkness and Xiaolian appeared once more "The Princess granted life to the friend and realising his mistake his jealousy ended and he was forgiven. The man and his Princess who was now human married and lived happily ever after. The friend fell in love with a young Dairy maid and they too married and lived happily ever after. The end." She bowed.

The stage went fully dark and the curtains closed, then reopened to reveal the actors. The audience applauded their children. Isabella smiled coming back onstage "Thank you very much for coming to see your children perform. They all worked very hard." She smiled "You can go greet your parents if you wish children."

Aurelian ran up to his parents "Did I do good Mama? Papa?"

France hugged him "You did very well!"

Canada nodded "Your uncle and I were crying~" he giggled hugging him tightly.

America looked at Avery "Yo what was with that kiss?"

Avery blushed heavily "It was just acting Daddy!"

England was wiping Tobias' face with a wet wipe "You did so well lovie but why is it you always seem to get a dirty smudge on your nose."

"Moooom! Come on dude not cooool!" Tobias whined.

Gilbertra skipped up to Aurelian and grabbed his cheeks "You liiiiike Averyeee~" she sang.

"Sh-shut up." Aurelian blushed "It was acting!"

Marcus giggled happily holding his mother's hand and dragging him along "It looked real to me."

Aurelian squeaked and hid behind France showing his shy side. France laughed he was so cute~ sometimes he would be outgoing, sometimes shy.

Canada smiled happily "Silly boy~"

Aurelian peered over at Avery who glanced over and smiled at him. He blushed and buried his head in France's back; okay maybe he liked him a little bit…or a lot…

AN: Thank you for reading~

Okay the play that was shown is actually an idea I have for UsUk/FrUk fic that I will write after Little Nations. It's pretty similar but a little more story depth and no death or jealousy that was just written to fit Tobias and Aurelian's personalities.

Anyway thank you for reading the next chapter will be the last one for Little Nations.

(there will be a sequel yey~)

Please review~

Arigatou~
