  "Please Japan!" You pleaded your Japanese friend, knowing that he might actually fold under your peer pressure,"Just come for alittle while?"

  "P-please _______-san," He spoke nervously, his voice shaking a bit,"I really don't want to."

  This year for Christmas, all you wanted was to have your friend Japan to visit your home for the holidays. You yourself were a young nation; an island off the coast of Asia near Japan.

  A world meeting had just ended and you found this a wonderful chance to invite your older friend to visit, knowing that he really did not care much for Christian traditions.

  Taking his hand gently but swiftly, you held it up to your face,"Please. Pretty please!" Your (e/c) eyes shone with fake tears,"I'd be so sad and alone this year without you."

  He averted his brown eyes away from yours but he quickly looked back, noticing the tears,"P-please, ________-san, don't get so upset. If you really want me to come, I will."

  Upon hearing this, your face lit up and you quickly threw your arms around him,"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" You were so caught up in the moment, you ignored the fact that your friend did not enjoy this show of public affection.

  Looking over gently with your (e/c) eyes, you noticed his face was completly red. Quickly letting him go, he backed away from you.

  Embarresed, he bowed his head and ran off, following the other countries that had left, leaving you alone in the hallway as the others passed you by.

  'Maybe he isn't comming,' You thought sadly, sitting alone in your small home on the warm island on Christmas Eve night,'I embaressed him really badly. He's probably really mad at me.'

Thinking this was the case, you grabbed a warm, freshly baked cookie off the tray in front of you. Japan was hours late and now you suspected he hated you.

  ''Maybe there's a Christmas movie on," Thinking aloud to yourself, you continued,"I don't need Japan to be happy." Sadly, that wasn't the case.

  You have had a long time crush on your best friend and you were always too nervous to admit it. Maybe some of Japan's character had rubbed off on you.

  You turned the TV on and flipped through the channels. Finding a station you believed was fair enough to watch, you sit back in your couch and get a good look at your decorated home.

  The tree you had gotten was a real pine tree and was decorated with colorful Christmas balls of green and red. The topper was a star which shone so elegently and brightly in your room.

  Over a fireplace on the side, you had hung stockings just for the heck of it. Candles were lit in your little home making the house glow lively.

  Attempting to sleep before Santa was supposed to come (aka Finland), you slowly drift off, shutting your eyes softly and laying down on the couch. You were in sweatpants, really hoping if Japan knocked on yor door, he wouldn't be wearing his best, which he probably would be.

  But before you could drift off into a deep sleep, you hear a knock at your door. Startled by the sudden noise, you fall off the couch and hit the floor hard. Slowly gathering yourself off the cold hardwood floors, you yell,"Comming!"

  You picked yourself up quickly and ran over to the door. Upon opening it was your friend bowing his head,"Please pardonthe intrusion _________-san."

  He picked his head up to look at you,"D-does your nose hurt? Did you fall?" He asked you suddenly.

  You picked up a sleeve of the sweater you were wearing and wiped your nose. You believed maybe you had gotten a bloody nose. Your suspicion was confirmed when a deep red stain had appeared on your sleeve.

  "I'm fine. You kind of scared me," You laughed nervously,"P-please come in."

  Without speaking a word, he walked in. But he forced you to sit down,"Please _________-san, let me," He ran off to your kitchen and grabbed a towel.

  He kelt down beside you and turned his head away while holding the towel to your face,"Gomen," He said silently,"I didn't mean to ruin the towel."

  You were completly speechless. You had never been acted so kindly upon by Japan,"I-I don't mind. I'll get it out eventually."

  "Really _________-san," He objected again,"I did not mean for you to be startled upon my arrival." His face was a bit red, but you could only see the side of his face.

  You brushed some strands of look (h/c) hair lazily behind your ear,"J-Japan?"

  "Does it hurt?" He asked in a more worried tone, actually turning his head to face you. You were right; his face was red as you had suspected a moment ago.

  Shaking your head gently, you met with his eyes and his darted away, averting your gaze,"Japan, why don't you sit on the couch? It's probably awfully cold kneeling on the cold hardwood."

  He shook his head a bit,"I'm fine." He assured you. But something made you feel like he wasn't. He looked more nervous then anything.

  "Please Japan?" You pleaded him, giving off a glance differnet from the one before. You gave him more of a pittiful look.

  He tried not looking at you but it was to no avail. He sighed in defeat and sat beside you without objection. You held a grin of victory and gently leaned on him, a few (h/c) strands grazed his shoulder.

  Usually, he would try to protest any show of affection. But this time, he gently pulled you a bit closer. By now, your nose had stopped bleeding yet he still held the cloth in his hand.

  "J-Japan?"

  "Are you okay ________-san?" He asked a bit quietly but concern still rang out in his voice.

  Gently, you turned your eyes to look at him,"I'm fine Japan. Really." You then turn your head to look over at him but his eyes were already glued to yours.

  Before you knew it, he had pressed his lips up against yours. You are in complete shock. You had wished for this so many times, hoped that maybe you would be able to just hold his hand or anything that he usually protested against without objection. And here you two were, in your home on Christmas Eve with Japan's lips pressed up against yours.

  And just as quickly as it happened, it ended. You both stair at one another in complete shock. Apparently, both of you were trying to gather what just happened.

  Japan broke the silence,"I-I'm so sorry. Gomen _______-san!" He said bowing his head at you,"I-I did not mean for my emotions to come over-"

  You didn't let him finish and you kissed his lips back, hoping that maybe he wouldn't mind. To your suprise he kissed you back and held your face close to his. You had your arms wrapped around his neck gently.

  After a minute, you both pulled away from one another and sit with your foreheads pressed against one another. You both were completly speechless but when you notices a small smile cornering your Japanese friend's lips. You knew.

  "Japan, do you like me?" You asked him gently after a few moments.

  He was obviously embaressed but a smile still stuck on his face,"I think I might."

  "Can you say it?"

  "What?"

  "Say you love me."

  The room fell silent at that comment. The candles flames danced through the quiet home. The television was on but you had hit mute accidently awhile ago. You were nervous. 'I had to open my big-'

  "_______-san, I-I love you." Looking at Japan, suddenly snapped out of your thoughts, his face was completly red once again. His smile had vanished,"I-I have...for a long time..."

  Still gathering what was going on, you held a shocked expression. After a moment, it lightened up into a smile,"I love you too Japan. For as long as I can remember."

  The two of you sat in silence once more. Both of you let the silence sink in while you both take a moment to gather all the events that had just occured.

  After a moment, he looked into you (e/c) eyes deeply but somewhat seriously. You leaned back a bit but he grabbed your arm and pulled you towards him once again. And with that, he kissed you with a bit more passion. And you you kissed him right back.
