(Nyo!America x Nyo!Japan)
Human AU

Amelia was ecstatic. The blonde had successfully convinced her Japanese friend, Sakura Honda to go hiking with her.

Sure, Amelia didn't even like hiking, but she figured it'd be fun with Sakura by her side. She asked a few times over the last two months until the black haired girl took a hint and said yes, over the phone.

"Sweet! I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Amelia said happily then the two had their goodbyes for the conversation. The American smiled and packed everything she would need into a pack.

The sun set then rose again. It was seven in the morning and Amelia got into her car and drove over to Sakura's place. The two of them had been friends since elementary school. Sure, there was ups and downs but the two of them went though it all, and Amelia was so thankful for the friendship but... Every so often, Sakura would do something.

Whether it would be the excitement in her brown eyes when she was explaining something she loved, or how proud she looked whenever she finished another homemade manga, the girl was just so freaking adorable to Amelia. The blonde lost count of how many times she got up and got something for Sakura because the Japanese girl did a slight, barely noticeable pout.

Amelia went to Sakura's door and knocked a few times, impatient. The door opened up immediately, with Sakura wearing a yellow t-shirt and short jean shorts.

"Kon'nichiwa Amelia. Is this the kind of clothes I should be wearing....?" Sakura questioned. Amelia nodded with a smile, wearing a dark blue tank top and a similar pair of jean shorts, except her were more faded out. Sakura smiled a little and the two went into the car.

As Amelia drove, the two talked about a lot of things. Amelia complained about Alice, her older sister, making her wear a dress at a summer party. The two talked about the newest manga Sakura was making, the blonde asking questions. The Japanese girl praised Amelia for the good work she did on the car, as odd as it seemed at first to Amelia. The blonde fixed her own car, and that seemed like enough to get some support from Sakura. Sure it had been hard work but no one else said anything about it...

The American smiled, grateful to finally get some attention for her work. She fixed the engine, with not much earlier experience, but she looked at several sources on how to do it.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you the big news Amelia-kun..." Sakura started slowly.

"Hm? What's up? What happened?" Amelia urged Sakura to continue.

"Well, I got one of my manga published in Japan, and it's supposed to come here in America in a few months. I'll give you the original copy and you can keep it or sell it, it should be worth a bit." The brown eyed girl looked slightly unsure that she should've brought it up, not liking to brag.

"That's amazing! You can keep the original, and I'll be one of the first people to buy one of them." Amelia said happily, and stopped the car by a park.

Sakura smiled and the two got out of the car. Amelia slipped her backpack on and lead her friend to the trail.

As they walked, the pair kept talking.
"So, I am supposed to go with Alice to a party... I'm not sure if I want to go but since she's my friend..." Sakura mumbled then shrugged. Amelia started having some odd thoughts and responded "Well, it's up to you.". As more thoughts started coming in, the blonde was almost freaking out, but just not on the outside. What if Sakura liked Alice?

Amelia's crush liking her older sister? Ouch...

The American suddenly stopped walking and looked at Sakura, who stopped too.

"Let's have some girl talk! We haven't done that in a while and we can take a break." Amelia said brightly and Sakura nodded, a bit of a confused look on her face. The two sat down on a fallen down tree, a log, beside each other.

There was no reason for Amelia to automatically think Sakura liked Alice, and she knew that as she thought more, but there was still a opportunity here!

"So... I know this so completely freakin shallow, but... What's your type?" Amelia questioned.

"....type...?".

"You know... Like, what you like in a partner. Dating and shiz." The blonde explained casually "Or like, you could tell me who you have a crush on, that works too. Do you have a crush?".

"Um... Hai, I have a crush but..." Sakura said slowly as she tried to think a little.

"Sweet! Who is it?" Amelia maintained her calm and kept the worry in her mind from going into her voice.

"I can't say." The Japanese deadpanned.

"Awwwww cmon. Explain them a bit at least." Amelia urged "I'm one of your closest friends, you should be able to give me a description.". The blonde winced internally at her own words, of the 'closest friend' part.

Sakura thoughtfully mumbled "She is... Light haired and kind. She can be obnoxious sometimes but I know she means well.".

Amelia blinked, that was too close to how she's been described for her not to have a bit of hope. "Huh. Wanna know what my crush is like?" Amelia said, remaining casual.

Sakura nodded and looked at Amelia calmly.

"Well, she's absolutely freaking adorable and sweet, polite, creative, with dark hair and dark eyes. I hang out with her often and try to be around her as much as I can. She's extremely patient with me, and I don't know what I'd do without her." Amelia said happily, then said more softly under her breath "And she's you.".

Amelia was so proud of herself for saying it after all these years but that didn't stop how much she was freaking out as she looked at Sakura. "Ohhhhhh I fucked up, I so fucked up! Why the hell did  I say it like that!? I could've at least said in a less lame way and... Fuck!" The blonde thought quickly, mind running at thousands of miles per hour as she looked at Sakura's reaction.

The Japanese girl was blushing and had a surprised look on her face. "Oh..." was all she managed to say before she hugged Amelia.

Amelia hugged back and Sakura looked at her "I like you too Amelia-kun... Like the way you're talking about.".

The Japanese girl smiled as Amelia had a bright, happy grin spread onto her face, then she pecked Sakura on the cheek.

Sakura blushed again as Amelia's grin grew. "Let's go on a date? Movie?" Amelia questioned and Sakura nodded.

((Cheesy. Fluffy. Moldy fuzz pizza. That's what that was.))
