"Play a song for us,dudette!"A blonde squeezed your hand as he approached you."Yao over here told us you were great!"

He gestured over the Chinese man who had his long hair tied.He was smiling at you.

"Uhm...I don't know..."you were about to decline his request due to your shyness(considering they were hot dudes) but a man wearing glasses approached you.

"I wanted to see your skills,too."

You couldn't deny because if you did he looked like you've wasted his precious time.He looked rather...strict.

You sat on the stool,and you decided to play a simple piece, which was Canon by Johann Pachelbel.

***

"Not bad..."Roderich(Austria),as he introduced,complimented."But nowhere near perfection."

Ouch.

"Don't mind him,Dudette!Just remember to keep practicing and you'll surely put him to shame!"the blonde named Alfred(America)put an arm around your shoulders.

"Sorry,but I can't read notes."you bit your lip.

They froze.

"Does that mean..."Yao(China)started.

"...you're nowhere near an amateur."Austria finished.

"DUDETTE,THAT'S AMAZING!YOU CAN PLAY DIFFERENT PIECES BUT CAN'T READ NOTES!WOW,"America exclaimed loudly,making the people inside flinch.

You just smiled at him.

"Oh!"China said as he eyed something at a nearby shelf."I'll be right back,aru!"

Your eyes were now on the loud blonde in front of you.

"...and then I'll invite you to play on special occations,and adding a little jazz won't hurt!Then as a token of gratitude I'll be giving you a lifetime stock of burgers--"

"America,shut the hell up."Austria glared at him,which made him pout.

You couldn't help but giggle.

And they both couldn't help but to smile warmly.

"Aiyah!This is heavy,help me please!"China said as he approached the three of you,holding paperbags with clanking noises.It seems that he had made a purchase.Hahaha.

"Oh okay--"you stood up,but America blocked your way.

"No,dudette.Let the hero handle this!"he stole one of the paper bags at China's arms and carried it like it weighed a pillow.He beamed proudly.

Austria's phone rang,so he grabbed it from his pocket and placed it at his ears.

"Yes,yes...Roderich Edelstein here...yes...what?"he frowned,then looked at the three of you.

"...sure...uh...bye."

"What's wrong,aru?"China tilted his head to the side in confusion.

He sighed,then he looked at you with a small,forced smile on his face.

"It's nice meeting you,(Y/n)...but I think we'll best be on our way."

"Whaaaat!?"America complained.

"Just shut up already!"a kid at the shop said to America in annoyance.

America was about to snarl at the child but he heard you laughing.

"I-it was nice meeting you guys,"you stuttered,trying hard to stop your contagious laughing."I j-just wish we'll meet again.PFFFT."

The three exchanged amused glances before smirking at you.

***

"Man,that dudette's cool."America put his hands at his hips while they walk.

"Yeah."Austria muttered.

"I hate those guys now."China hissed."Calling us over something stupid such as the world meeting,I'm sure they'll do better themselves,aru!"

The two glanced at him,at his sudden outburst.

Which made China widen his eyes.

"O-oh...sorry..."he looked down.

Austria then exchanged glances with America.But shrugged afterwards.

I agree.

***

"Sister!Sister!I want candy!"your sibling whined while tugging at the hem of your skirt when you arrived at home.

"What!?Candy!?"you screeched."You're too big for candy!What the hell!"

(Sibling's name)pouted and crossed his/her arms.

"You owe me one when I helped you clean the dishes!"

"But all you did was give the dirty plates to me!"You argued.

"Waste money on me more,and not in your interest!I'm your brother/sister!"

A shitty brat.

"Fine,fine."you raised your hands up in the air,defeated.

***Two Days Ago***

Iceland widened his eyes when the news came crashing to him like an explosion.

"No licorice in our country!?"He yelled in panic.

"No licorice."The president nodded solemnly.

"That's impossible!How long can they make some?"

"A month."

"A month!?"Iceland's puffin said in a mafia boss-like voice.

"Then we should get some from a different country!"

***

"Sorry bro,same situation here."Denmark shrugged when Iceland asked some from him.

***

"I don't have licorice.Sorry..."Finland forced a smile on his face when he pets his pet's head,Hanatamago which was seated on his lap.

***

"I don't know."Sweden said blankly.

"I think I'll take that as a no,"Iceland's puffin muttered to his owner's ear.

***

"Licorice?Hmm..."Norway held his chin."It just recently came out at my place.So there are only five boxes.And I'm sure it's already out of stock."

Iceland sighed irritatedly.

"Who are your suppliers?"

"America."Norway shrugged."In exchange for meat."

"Burgers."Iceland widened his eyes."Bribery."

Norway shrugged.

***Back to Reality***

You made your way to a near candy shop.

As you entered,the smell of sweets and cold air from the air conditioner hit you.

You made your way to the shelf full of jars which offers the most cheap candy--LICORICE!

"Hahahhaahhaahahahha"you chuckled darkly as you began picking different colors and flavors for your oh-so-spoiled brother/sister.

I'll tell him/her that this costs a lot,and he/she would be guilty he/she wish he/she could just die already.What a cheap candy!I guess it wouldn't hurt to buy one for myself...

***

Iceland entered the candy shop and ushered to the licorice section.

"Hahahahhaahahhah"

He frowned at a girl who was the only one at said section,chuckling to herself.

Man...this place is full of crazy people.Just like America himself.

"Excuse me,miss.Could you please excuse me for a minute?"

You looked up to the speaker and saw a man with silky,silver hair.

"Oh...hi!"you said and backed away,causing him to massage his temples in irritation and take your place earlier.
