EgyKong: Stoic
"This is nice, isn't it?" Canada asked.
Hong Kong and Egypt nodded their heads, neither of them looking at each other. Canada was unaware of the rivalry between them. They each desired to be the one true stoic friend of Canada.
Currently they were merely hanging out in Canada's room before the meeting would begin. There was no way that Hong Kong or Egypt would go to the other's room, and they also didn't want to leave Canada alone with the other.
After a while of Canada bringing up subjects for short, almost one-sided conversations it was time to go. The two were relieved. They didn't have to spend any more time in each other's company, and they thanked their lucky stars that the seats were assigned, and arranged by region. It meant that they didn't have to spend any time together, and that Canada wasn't trapped with either of them.
Hong Kong threw a quick glare at Egypt's dog. The animal was acting very hyper, and he had a feeling that something was about to happen. And with Egypt walking behind him, the thought of something about to happen didn't sit well with him.
If he ever made the mistake of voicing his suspicions about Egypt, he would be accused of being paranoid. But when it came to Egypt, he was always correct. The other would often sabotage him, and he would return the favour in kind.
Hong Kong wasn't wrong.
His eyes widened a fraction when the dog tripped him. But he wouldn't allow Egypt to acknowledge this as a victory. With the other walking so close behind him, he had a good opportunity.
He grabbed behind him, managing to grip Egypt's arm. But he was already falling, and he brought Egypt down with him.
He didn't realise that he had spun around mid-fall, but he suddenly found himself on his back, a pair of lips on his own.
…What?!
Hong Kong's eyes widened, and he could see Egypt's widen as well. Egypt shot up, and Hong Kong backed up as much as he could. Both of them wiped their lips, trying to get the sensation of the other's off.
And through it all, neither made a sound.
"Are you two alright?" Canada asked in alarm.
"F-fine," Hong Kong stammered.
Egypt frantically nodded, scrambling to his feet, Hong Kong doing the same. For once, neither of them cared about being stoic. About being calm and composed in front of the other.
They had… kissed each other!
Luckily, it didn't seem as though Canada noticed, and if he did, he didn't comment.
"Let's go to the meeting now," Egypt stammered, and Hong Kong was just glad to hear the other was as embarrassed as he felt.
"R-right," Canada stuttered. "Let's go."
The three made their way to the meeting room at a brisk pace. Egypt and Hong Kong avoided each other's eyes. Both of them wanted to forget the kiss as soon as possible.
A little hard, going by the tingling they each felt.
…
During the meeting itself, Hong Kong and Egypt avoided looking in each other's directions. They should have recovered fast. They should have been the stoic nations that everyone knew.
But the kiss…!
Hong Kong tried to get it out of his mind, but it was very hard. Why couldn't he get rid of the feeling of the other's lips on his?
Actually, he might have a reason. He just hated to admit it to Egypt, but he needed to let the other know the severity of this situation.
He couldn't believe that he was thinking this, but he needed to find Egypt after the meeting's conclusion.
…
Once a break had been called, Hong Kong immediately made a beeline for Egypt. The other continued to ignore him, as was usual for them. But Hong Kong wouldn't tolerate it today.
"Talk, now," Hong Kong said curtly, before walking away.
He could see out of the corner of his eye as Egypt frowned marginally, before following after Hong Kong. At least he was being cooperative for once.
The two went to an unused room where they were guaranteed not to have an audience. Hong Kong rounded on Egypt, his arms crossed. The latter arched an eyebrow.
"You need to owe up for this morning," Hong Kong said.
"Why?" Egypt asked. "It was you who pulled me down."
"It was your dog that tripped me."
Egypt crossed his arms, staring at Hong Kong as though he was asking him why he was making such a big deal about it. Hong Kong huffed.
"It was my first kiss," Hong Kong said.
Egypt's eyes widened, and he drew back a little.
"I… see," Egypt said.
They were silent for a while, and for once the air between them wasn't tense with hostility, but awkwardness. Egypt sighed.
"What do you suggest?" Egypt asked.
"I don't know," Hong Kong said. "Japan would suggest you take responsibility and marry me."
The two shuddered at the thought.
"I'll buy you dinner as compensation," Egypt said. "Just never bring it up again."
"Understood," Hong Kong said.
They were also just happy that the only one that knew was Canada, and Canada wasn't one to go spread rumours. He could also see how awkward it was for the two of them, and so would stay quiet so as to not cause problems for his friends.
So, I used 'Brothers Found' by Twoformemories as the premise for this oneshot. It starts out as a story about brotherly love, but once Egypt joins it becomes pure comedy due to the rivalry between him and Hong Kong. It's one of the few stories that I favourited.
