cold on the outside (greentica)

first day

AHHHHH I SPENT WAY TOO LONG ON THAT GODDAMN OVERHEAD PICTURE, but holy shit its fucking adorable

Antarctica pov:

i woke up feeling a weight to my left, it was nice and cozy, i snuggled up against it, i slightly opened my eyes, expecting to see a pillow, no it was my-- 'HOLY SHIT IM HOLDING MY CRUSH' i screamed in my head, i felt Greenland shift, 'hes getting up!' i internally panicked. i quickly pretended i was asleep.

he got up from my grasp, and walked over to the clock on the wall, and he shook me softly, obviously thinking i was 'asleep'.

"hey bud! its getting close to first period, we should probably get ready." he whisper yelled.

"alright..." i said trying not to blush feeling his hand on my shoulder, he walked into the bathroom, and i walked over to my closet, i picked out a yellow-green sweater and one of my many scarfs, i pulled off the current scarf that was on my neck, i felt the purple bumpy surface that had been caused by the ice-melts on my neck, i quickly pulled off my current blue sweater and replaced it with my yellow-green one, i took another look at the mark on my neck and shoulder i heard the door to the bathroom open.

"Tica..? what's that on your neck?" i froze, i look behind me...

"Climate change." i sigh, i knew he would find out soon, but why the first day of goddamn collage?

"wow, your lucky" i look at him in confusion, i watch as he takes off his eyepatch... all i saw was a void where his eye should be, i mean i knew that countries got the short end of the stick by losing a vital body part/organ, but his eye? it was more common to lose an arm or a leg, his episodes must be painful.

(in my au if a country has heavy climate change effects they have episodes where the bleed violently from their facial orifices, while continents just have a mark i go more in depth about it on my reddit acc, link in bio)

"i-im sorry-" i stuttered out before i was cut off "why are you apologizing? its not your fault, come on big guy, lets get ready for first period" i nodded and grabbed my bag that was in my closet and grabbed the few textbooks for the classes i was in and  looked back to make sure Greenland was ready as well, i  walked over to the door, Greenland did as well, i looked down at the smaller male and smiled, i could've sworn i saw his face go red for a second as he looked down.

 i opened the door and let Greenland out first, we had the same first and third period, but other than that we didn't share any other classes, we walked to the door that separated the courtyard from the dorms and actual school, i opened the door and smelled the fresh fall air, i knew winter was coming, i walked through the open roof center of this massive building and looked at the smaller male behind me, i spun around with my arms out smiling, i saw him hide his face while other students walked around me and him, why did he do that so much? i motioned for us to continue walking 

we reached our fist class, i knew the teacher was 'prof. Ireland' he teaches English, i got really good vibes from him, he seemed a lot nicer than our match teacher 'China'.

before i knew it we were trying to get into the English room, something was going on in there... i then heard the iconic voice of North America, he had English first as well? i looked inside and saw him drinking a pint of beer next to prof. Ireland, he wasn't just drinking he he was downing it, everyone knew to never challenge an Ireland person to a drink off, but there he was, he wasn't winning but he sure tried, i sighed and tried to get to an empty desk where Greenland could sit next to me, i eventually found one in the back, i watched Greenland sit next to me, his head buried in his bag, i chuckled at his embarrassment 'cute' i thought to myself

it was only the first 10 minutes of class and i was already bored, the only thing keeping me entertained was Greenland doodling in his notebook, little doodles of cats, and various insects in the corners of his notes, it was adorable. i looked at the seat to my left, the second i looked i heard. 

"is he your boyfriend or do you just really like looking at him?" i felt my face warm up at this comment, it was Japan, of course it was, now he's going to pester me about liking Greenland...

"oooooh~ so-" i cut him off shushing him trying to hide my face. 'GAHH' i internally screamed at myself and Japan

i stopped thinking when i heard something on the floor drop, i looked back to my right and saw Greenland reaching for his pencil, i reached down and grabbed it for him, smiling as he took it out of my hands

as the minutes ticked by prof Ireland's voice began to slur, it was obvious the alcohol was getting to him, North America was already passed out on his desk. i felt myself get even more bored as prof Ireland's  movements began to slow, i looked down at my notes Infront of me, lazy, and unfinished, its not like i was going to need notes from the first day anyway.

Once class was over i was headed out of the door when i felt someone tap on my shoulder "hey man, since i haven't seen you in high school and im bored and it seems like your friends with my cousin, soooooo your my friend now!" i looked down at the shorter male, he had the same 13 stripes as North America, but only red stripes, and instead of 3 stars he had like 500, i didn't have the time to count so i just guessed 500,

"uh sure why not, i currently only have 8 people im friends with so why not" i said looking back at him with the cold icy stare that i 'always have' according to North America. when i did that he froze, he was pretty cocky for a country, but it also seemed like eveybody knew who he was

im sure its fine i have to go to next class

IM GETTING SO TIRED TO WRITING THIS anyways bye bitches, mwa
