Unexpected

Chapter 19

    I walked through the front, laughing and smiling. "That was so much fun!" I exclaimed, smiling brightly.
    "It was very amusing watching Russia and America fall off their horses wasn't it." Britain said with a chuckle.
    "Hey! I only fell off of it once! Russia fell off five times!" America protested.
    "Speaking of Russia... where did he and the others go?" I asked.
    On our way back I switched cars, trading places with Russia. After a while on the road their car disappeared and I couldn't remember which direction they went.
    "Russia forgot something, so he had to turn around and get it back." Britain answered, slipping off his shoes, placing them by the door.
    I gave him a suspicious look, "Mmhm." I then walk into the living room, looking around for a certain snake.
    When I couldn't find her, I took in a deep breath and yell out, "ECHO!"
    America winced, looking over at me, giving me a small glare. "What are you screaming for?" He questioned, sounding irritated.
    "I'm looking for Echo. ECHO!" I screamed out again.
    America quickly covered my mouth using his hand saying, "There's no need to scream, she's right here." America gestured to his upper arm where Echo was curled tightly around him.
    "I'm surprised you haven't jumped or anything." I said, petting the adorable snake. She poke her head out of the ball, looking over at me, flicking her tongue in and out. She looks so adorable as always.
    "My brother has a tendency bringing in wild animals, most of them being poisonous... and snakes." America answered, beginning to pet the snake as well.
     "I'm guess your brother is Australia?" I asked with a small smile.
    "Yep, there is definitely no one like him." America answered with a grin. A silence stretched between us as we just petted Echo, she was enjoying the attention, letting out a satisfying hiss. Then America grabbed my hand, catching my attention.
    I looked up at him, confused. He looked as if in awe about something, or in a daze. "You know there is no one like you either (Y/N). Especially someone with your beautiful eyes." America said in a smooth tone.
    My eyes widened slightly, a light blush forming on my cheeks as his compliment. It was random but nice in a way. My heart was beating a mile per minuet, my stomach churning. He seemed to lean forward moving closer to me, just stopping a centimeter from my face. I could feel his breath on my lips, my blush deepening. He's not gonna do what I think he is... is he!
    Oh no I'm not prepared!! Why is this happening so suddenly!? No! C'mon (Y/N) snap out of it! Get in your zone! You had a boyfriend before remember... although he wasn't a very good boyfriend but... that's not the point at the moment!
    He placed his forehead on mine, putting his free hand on my cheek while the other was still holding my hand. 'He's so close!' I thought, my blush turning red. I most likely look like a straw berry right now if anything.
    "God you're so adorable." America mumbled, a slight blush on his cheeks. My cheeks grew darker, if that was even possible.
    "What is going on here?" Growled a voice.
    We both pulled away from each other quickly, then looked over seeing North. His arms were crossed, glaring straight at America in utter rage.
North's POV
    Why was I so angry, all I saw was America putting his forehead on (Y/N) and holding her hand. Him being so close to her set me off.
    "Well?" I growled, mainly glaring at America who had the biggest grin on his face like he won something.
    He put an arm around (Y/N)'s shoulders saying, "Just telling the birthday girl how cute she looks."
    I let out a growl as he pulled her closer to him, her face beat red. I couldn't help but blush lightly at the sight of her, she did looks so adorable in that state. I only wish I was the one that put her in that state. Wait what!? No North! Snap out of it!
America gave me a glare, most likely reacting to the blush on my cheeks. I thought quickly, grabbing hold of (Y/N)'s wrist and tearing her out of his grip and pulled her to my chest. I smirked, "If you don't mind then America, if that is all you were going to say, I think I'll talk to her now."
    I dragged her away, going into the kitchen, walking past Britain and France as I went. They both looked confused for a moment, then gave me a small glare as they saw who I was holding hands with.
    I couldn't help but smirk at the sight of their faces. I tugged her into the kitchen, stopping by the stove, then looked down on her.
    The red on her face has faded away, but some pink was still left. I gazed in her blood red pools, they glistened and shined like rubies in a bright light. My gaze traveled down to her soft lips, oh how I would love to just- "North?" I was snapped out of my daze, shaking my head slightly to clear away the thoughts. I realized I had gotten so close to her somehow, my hand cupped her chin making her look up at me while my other arm was wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to my chest.
    Her cheeks were red again, almost as red as her beautiful eyes. "Happy birthday my gem." I said, as I leaned down closer to her lips.
    Then she was yanked out of my grip, I growled in frustration, looking up to see France  carrying (Y/N) bridal style in his arms.
    "Sorry North, but I believe it's my turn to talk to her." France then ran out of the kitchen, (Y/N) holding on for dear life, her arms wrapped around his neck.
    I searched for France after I lost him, heading towards the direction I last saw him. "Hey! Phil come back here!" I heard France shout. Then Phil came into view carrying (Y/N) , running past me without a second glance. I followed behind him, he ran back down the stairs.
    How was he so fast? I'm exhausted already. I then run down the stairs to see Britain, who had his arms wrapped around (Y/N), and Phil arguing with each other. I joined in, trying to steal (Y/N) away.
Your POV
    Why is this happening? All of these guys are literally... fighting over me? First America became a sudden romantic, then North tried to kiss me, then France tried to kiss my cheek, after that Phil tried to kiss my other cheek, now Britain came in to stop him, wrapping his arms protectively around me.
    I didn't listen much into their argument, France and America joined in as well. But we are missing one... where is he? I haven't seen him since we got here.
   I was all of a sudden yanked out of Britain's grip into another strong grip. 'I feel like I'm someone's favorite toy right now. Now I know how a poor toy feels.'
    "None of you can treat her right you morons." I look up to see Reich with a wide smirk which showed is white, sharp teeth.
    He leaned down his head, nuzzling into my neck. His hot breath sent shivers up my spine as he nuzzled closer to my neck.
    "Says the person who murdered millions of innocent people just because of their religion!" America growled, his fists balled up tightly.
    "Now now America, that was all in the past. And, might I add, who was the one who stayed by (Y/N)'s side during her recovery?" He questioned, pulling my back closer to his chest. My heart was thumping loudly, it was practically hurting my ears at this point. I wouldn't be surprised is Reich could hear it at this moment.
    He then placed a finger under my chin, using it to turn my head towards him. He was so close, closer than America was before. One move towards him then our lips would connect.
    His own eyes became daze as he stared at me, he then blinked, as if snapping himself out of his daze on his own.
    "Stay. Away. From. Her." America growled.
    "Oh America I thought you were smarter than that? I can't exactly stay away from her when we live in the same house now can we?" Reich said, simply glancing at him with his eyes, not moving his head.
    "Then get your dirty hands off her you monster!" Phil growled, taking a step towards us.
    Reich smirked, "No thanks, I can hold this beautiful flower in my arms as long as I want to." His grip on me tightened, but not enough to hurt my still healing wounds.
    He then moved his lips forward, but an angle, kissing a couple of centimeters away from my lips. "Happy birthday my dear flower." He said with a soft smile.
    "The rest of you should stop arguing, it is her birthday after all and all of you are ruining it with your noisy shouting." Reich growled.
    I didn't listen much after that, my entire face and ears were bright red, heat rising out of them. Reich just... he just kissed me on the cheek.
    I felt a tingling sensation on the spot where he kissed me, a slight shiver went through me as the sensation. Reich must've felt it, because his frustrated frown turned into a smug look.
    The other countries glared daggers at him. I turn away from him as soon as he caught me staring. "Now now (Y/N), why did you look away?" He then turned my whole body around to face him, taking his finger and making me look up at him. "I still want to gaze at your face longer."
    Where did this even come from? They weren't acting like this to me before... ok actually Reich was almost always acting this way towards me but he only flirted. He never did anything more! Until now at least.
I was so distracted figuring out the reason behind this new ... behavior that I didn't hear the front door open. The person behind it seeing the sight before them.
"What's happening?" Asked a confused voice, I turn to look over seeing Poland. He looked between me and Reich for a few seconds, then his stare hardened. Russia walked up next to him carrying a white box, his stare hardened into a glare instantly. He gave the box to Poland, shoving it into his arms, then stomped over towards Reich and I.
He shoved Reich away quickly then pulled me into his embrace. "Stay away from her." He growled.
Then dragged me into the kitchen, I noticed Reich just rolled his eyes and followed behind saying, "Just so you know I wasn't the only one that had my hands on her."
Russia turned around and glared at the group, who were busy avoiding his eyes. Soviet walked through the doorway a couple of gifts in his arms, with the others following behind with gifts in there hands as well.
"Sit here." He said with a smile.
My mouth was wide opened as they placed the gifts on the table, the white box contained a cake with white and (f/c) icing.
"You guys didn't-"
"We wanted to. It's your birthday after all. You deserve to be spoiled today." South interrupted, giving me a warm smile. "Now go on open you presents!"
I grabbed the card first, knowing who it this was most likely from. I saw my mothers name written on the front of the card.
I opened it to see a card with a puppy in front of it and gathered the money inside shoving it in my pocket. "How did you get this card?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Benjamin gave it to us." Poland answered.
I nodded, moving on to the next present which was from Gray. I opened it see the new series of a book I have been reading, I smiled, making a mental note to call him later.
I moved on to the next gift which was from Benjamin, I opened it to see the new Assassins Creed video game I've been dying to get but never had the time.
All the gifts were wonderful; Poland gave me gave me a small notebook to write in so I can take a break from my work, South gave me a shirt that has the first half of the word 'Friends' while he had the other half, North got me a charm with my birthstone on it including a few rubies, Germany got me different color pens and markers since I loved making my work colorful as possible, Reich got me a bracelet with the yen and yang symbol on the middle of it with two of my favorite flowers in either side of the symbol with opposite colors of the symbol, America gave me the whole series of the game Call of Duty which I never played before, Soviet gave me a couple of jackets with my favorite band logo on them, Russia gave me a ushanka and a light grey scarf, Britain gave me a full supply of tea bags that I have never tried yet or that I knew even existed, Phil gave me a flower crown and shark necklace that would laid tight on my neck, and France who gave me a cook book and a few sweaters which he said he knitted himself.
"Thank you guys so much!" I said, giving each of them a big hug. They all hugged me in return, Reich kissing me on the forehead which set everyone off. Even Soviet was pissed.
Then everyone started arguing but I just stood there smiling, happy the day they just teleported into my life.
I heard the doorbell ring, walking over with a spring in my step. I opened the door saying a bright, "Hello-" But I stopped.
Standing before me was my greatest fear... Ryder. A big cheerful smile on his face, a present in his hands.
"Hey (Y/N)! Long time no see huh!" He said cheerfully, with the same charming smile I fell in love with all those years ago.
I was frozen, heart beating, my body wouldn't budge, I couldn't even speak. I felt a hand on my shoulder, snapping my body out of its state. I look over seeing Soviet, a hood over his head.
    I look back at Ryder who looked at the tall man in surprise, "Thank you Ryder." I took the box quickly from him, giving him a smile.
    "No problem. See you around." Ryder said, taking one last glance at Soviet then turned and left.
He knows where I live! This was all just a statement.
