~Memories~ Hetalia One-Shots

<A Pink Bow-Tie> Iceland

The rest of the night seemed pretty normal after all the female countries had finished their Seven Minutes In Heaven. With the occasional fighting between Arthur and Francis, Ludwig and Gilbert drinking beer and, well... The Nordics teasing Emil. At one point, a gigantic argument broke out between Mathias and Emil due to Emil not meant to tell you that Mathias liked you. Of course, you had to break that one up, but Mathias kept being a little be overprotective of you and if you got near some of the male countries, he'd drag you away back to the Nordics. You had pestered him about this a few times but in the end, you just had to go with it since it seemed like he'd never give up. Throughout, your heart still wretched for Emil instead of Mathias or anyone else...

At every social party you were invited to, Mathias was always right there behind you. Elizabeta always made jokes claiming you were "just like a couple" and you were "right for each other". As much as they annoyed you, you had to get along with it. After a while of Mathias constantly calling for you and asking you out on dates, you took a deep sigh and accepted. Before accepting the request, you strictly told Mathias not to tell anyone you were going on a date, but knowing him, he probably told everyone and if not that, at least the other Nordics. Which of what you feared was Emil finding out and that kept making your chest repeat that stinging sensation. Mathias brought you to an Italian diner and, to your despair, you were sat near the entrance so anyone who walked past would see the two of you together...

The diner in question was actually decorated quite nicely but the only disturbing factor was that it was a couples only restaurant and it was candle-lit dinners... You weren't even sure if you liked him like that and especially when it came to thinking who you liked, why is it always Emil who comes to mind? During the entire "date", you never really said that much, it was really Mathias who did all the talking while you just sat there silently without peeping a word most of the time. After you had finished at the restaurant, you volunteered to walk yourself home but Mathias refused to let you go alone. Once you reached one of the street lights, it started pouring with rain and the light had turned red. "May I have the kiss that ends a perfect date?" he asked as he leaned closer to you. Without a clue of what to say, you just did nothing until he cupped your cheeks into his palms and came closer.

Again, that pain. The pain you always get when you think of Emil. Your first kiss won't be with the one you love? Is that even fair anymore!? Just as the two of you were about to share that moment, a blissful puffin glided across the sky and swiftly landed on Mathias' head. This, however, sent Mathias into a frenzy as he tried to get the puffin to detach from his head which sent you into a hysterical laughter as he puffin pecked him in the forehead. While you were watching this, a man hidden under a coat came up to you and held out his hand. With quite the hesitation, you took his hand which sharply grasped yours. The both of you hid in a back alley to escape from Mathias but honestly, who was this guy? "W-who are you?" you demand as you squeezed your soaking wet hair to release the tiny particles of water. "Surprised you hadn't figure it out already." the figure spoke. You knew that voice... "Emil!?" you gasped as he pulled down his hood to reveal his face. "Lukas told me everything. I just... I couldn't watch you to something you're not comfortable with." he shyly admitted without making the slightest of eye contact.

Your heart fluttered at the thought of him caring for you but you knew that even so if he acted this way, there's no way he'd return those feelings you felt for him. "Well, I'd best be going now... It's getting dark." You hadn't noticed it yet but the sky had completely darkened and it was getting surprisingly late. You didn't want him to go... You want to stay with him... Maybe not just now but maybe forever... "E-Emil, w-wait!" you called out as he turned his back to face you again. He tilted his head in slight confusion of what you wanted. "I love you, okay!?" you screamed to him which you could have sworn he had a blush on him. You partially felt your red burn up as he started to come closer. "I knew it! I'm an idiot!" Without a moment between you saying that, you dashed off back down the road with tears washing down your face like rivers. That stinging feeling had never been so powerful to the fact now it was killing you. Suddenly, you lost your balance as your foot caught onto a lifted concrete slab which sent you flying forwards onto your chest. "___! Wait! Please!" you heard calling from behind you as you saw a distressed Emil call after you. His sapphire eyes widened as he saw you lying on the floor in the freezing rain. You just stayed there, sprawled out on the hard floor as Emil lifted you up and pulled you into such a strong embrace it felt like you were going to choke. "___, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...!" His voice sounded as petrified as you were feeling until that all settled down with him giving you a deep and seductive kiss. Funny how a moment ago, you were about to be kissing Mathias and now... You're kissing the guy you love with all your heart. "I love you too, ___." Those words you always wanted to hear, finally coming from him... While surrounded by the pouring rain and misty streetlights which barely lit up anything, he finally told you told him your feelings and he told you his. It wasn't the most romantic setting ever, but nothing could disappoint you now...

Author's Note: THIS THIS IS TWO THOUSAND WORDS LONG. *Flips table* Yeah, I know, I've been lacking in the writing department. Tell me, do you want quality or quantity? Tell meeee! Because I'd rather do one long story with a lot of detail in three/four days than three really short ones which I think are bad in three/four days. Tell me, which do you prefer? If you don't tell me, I'll just flip a coin... THANKIES FOR READING!!!!! =^.^=
