Sequel to "That's Mine!"

I also highly suggest that people read the author's note at the end to know why/how I picked this ship.

Note:

They are all nagas so just to clarify a few things-

Snakes smell by tasting the air.

Nagas don't talk to communicate, they do so more by action and sounds but no normal human speech. They can only speak like a normal human when naming a new naga.

Also, Nagas are born from eggs so baby reader started out as an egg.

[c/n] = country name

[name] = your name

[e/c] = eye color

[h/c] = hair color

[f/c] = favorite color

Recap:

After finding and successfully hatching a baby country, Matthew (aka Canada) has taken the new country of [c/n] in as his own.  After having given her the name of [name], Matthew has put little [c/n] down for bed.  But before going to bed, he wondered;

'I wonder when my mate will be home...'

Narrator's POV

Three days had passed since little [c/n] had hatched and was taken in by the shy Canadian naga and the two couldn't be happier with each other.

Matthew and [name] were sitting in an enclosed area, sunning themselves in the warm afternoon sun.  Matthew was coiled around little [name], gently running his fingers through her soft [h/c] hair.  After having been fed some sweet berries, [name] was starting to fall asleep, hugging Matthew's tail close.  Matthew couldn't help but smile at this.

'I h-hope he returns soon f-from visiting his f-family.'  Matthew thought, not wanting his mate to miss out on raising the cute little [f/c] tailed naga.  Speaking of [name], Matthew realized that it was nearly time for nap.

Gently, Matthew pried [name] off his tail and brought her into his embrace.  Matthew began rubbing soothing circles into her back as he gently swayed his upper body.  [name]'s eyes began to droop as she rested her head on his shoulder.  She loosely coiled her short tail around Matthew's torso as she drifted off to sleep.

Matthew stopped swaying after a few moments and sat back down on the ground, hugging the sleeping naga close when he heard the sound of bushes rustling.  Feeling nervous, Matthew flicked his tongue out, trying to get a scent when the rustling got closer.

Instincts kicking in, Matthew began backing slowly from the clearing when something grabbed his tail.

Matthew let out a frightened screech before lashing his tail, trying to get whatever had grabbed it to let go.  As he was lashing, Matthew heard a very familiar hissing laugh.

Kesse

'W-wait a second, t-that's-!'  Matthew stopped lashing and was about to turn when he was met with arms going around his waist with a certain albino's face pressed to his side.  Matthew looked down and sighed with relief.

'It is o-only Gilbert,'  Matthew thought.  Gilbert on the other hand was busy happily rubbing his face into Matthew side, moving up till he bumped into [name]'s tail.  Confused, Gilbert looked up and spotted the still sleeping hatchling in Matthew's arms.

Gilbert straightened up, tilting his head as he moved his tail from side to side while motioning to [name], asking "Vhat's up vith zhe kid?".  Matthew sighed and motioned for Gilbert to follow him.  Gilbert nodded and followed after Matthew.

Matthew led him back to their cave where the egg shells still were and picked up the piece that held the marking on it.  Matthew then held it up to Gilbert and motioned to [name].  Gilbert was still for a moment before nodding.  Gilbert then motioned to [name] and then to Matthew and himself, asking "Is zhe awezome kid ours?" 

Matthew smiled and nodded as Gilbert grinned and engulfed Matthew and [name] in a tight hug, waking [name] from her nap.  Confused and still sleepy, the teary eyed hatchling looked up at Matthew, whimpering.

Hearing the whimpers, Matthew looked down and hugged the [f/c] tailed hatchling close, rubbing her back as he gently flicked his tongue in a soothing manner.  Gilbert, on the other hand, was staring at the hatchling after breaking from the hug.

'Vhy didn't zhe frau notice her awezome Vati?'  He wondered as he moved himself behind Matthew, trying to get into [name]'s field of vision.  Gilbert flicked his tongue at the hatchling, letting out a loud hiss, making [name] open her eyes.  And the first thing she did after seeing Gilbert with a huge toothy grin was-

Wahh!

-wail.  Gilbert was taken aback, as was Matthew who pried [name]'s tail from his torso and turned her so that he was cradling her in his arms.  Matthew began rocking the still upset hatchling as he made it over to the nest.  Matthew coiled his body into a circle and placed [name] in the hallow center, rubbing her back with one hand as [name] clung to his tail.

Slowly, [name] calmed down to just a few hiccups.  Sighing with relief, Matthew brought her back into his embrace, letting her coil her tail around him again.  Matthew then glanced at Gilbert who was on the other side of the cave looking depressed.

Matthew sighed once more and looked at the calming [f/c] tailed naga.  He flicked his tongue at her, getting her attention.  He then motioned to her and then to himself, rubbing his cheek against hers, signalling that he was her parent, making her smile.  Matthew then motioned to Gilbert.

Seeing this [name] titled her head and nervously flicked her tongue out, feeling unsure about the wild albino.  Matthew pressed his lips to her forehead before motioning to Gilbert once more, trying to encourage her.  Getting no reaction, Matthew decided to push a little more.

Matthew slithered towards Gilbert with [name] in his arms and gently coiled his own tail around Gilbert's waist, rubbing the tip of his tail against Gilbert's back, signalling that Gilbert was Matthew's mate.  Gilbert turned and watched as [name] looked from Gilbert to Matthew, head tilted, as if asking "Is he really your mate?"

This just made Gilbert feel more depressed as he went back to sulking in a ball of self pity.  Matthew on the other hand giggled quietly before nodding.  Matthew then motioned [name] towards Gilbert, setting her on the ground in hopes she would go to Gilbert.

[name] just clung close to Matthew, looking at Gilbert with unsure but curious eyes.  Matthew waited patiently, patting her head gently, telling her it was alright.

And slowly but surely, [name] inched closer to Gilbert, dragging Matthew with her who quietly slithered beside her.  Soon [name] was within arm's reach of Gilbert, whose back was still to them.  Gently, she reached a hand up and poked Gilbert in the back, gaining his attention.

Gilbert felt this and turned, meeting the [f/c] tailed naga's eyes.  The two looked at each other till, with a small push from Matthew, [name] moved towards Gilbert.

Now thankfully Gilbert knew enough about hatchlings to know to be slow in movements around them till they become used to you.

So, he slowly moved his hand, placing it on [name]'s head and proceeded to gently pat her head, making her flick her tongue out contently.  Gilbert grinned and flicked his tongue out before pulling [name] into his embrace.

[name] squirmed a bit but calmed down when Gilbert rubbed his cheek against hers while patting her back.  And soon enough, [name] tucked her head under Gilbert's chin, saying that she accepted him as her parent.  Gilbert let out his strange hissing laugh before flicking his tongue at her, imprinting his scent onto her.

After that, Gilbert tried to put [name] down but she refused, instead clinging to his neck as her tail wrapped around his torso.  Gilbert looked at Matthew questioningly, tail swaying side to side as he motioned to [name] and then to himself, translating to "Does she vant something from zhe awezome me?"

Matthew giggled and began making the nest before settling down and motioning for Gilbert to come over.  Gilbert followed suit and settled beside Matthew.  Matthew then tapped [name]'s shoulder, gaining her attention, before patting the spot between the two males.

[name] nodded and settled in that spot before being brought into Matthew's embrace while Matthew cuddled towards Gilbert.  Gilbert grinned as the two mates coiled around each other and [name].

[name] flicked her tongue out happily before letting out a yawn, wanting to go back to sleep since her nap had been interrupted.  With her head resting on Gilbert's arm, she curled towards Matthew and went back to sleep.

Gilbert nuzzled her happily before turning to Matthew and pressing their lips together.  Matthew kissed back before settling down and hugging the [h/c] haired hatchling close and snuggling closer to Gilbert.  Gilbert smiled and hugged his family closer.

'I am zhe awezomest and luckiest naga in zhe awezome vorld right now!'  He thought happily to himself.

~Fin~

I actually had a lot of trouble picking which ship to work with but I eventually settled on PruCan because I thought Prussia would be funnier to work with than America, 2p Canada, Russia, 2p America, Ukraine, or France.

And when I narrowed that list down to three (America, Russia, & Prussia), I stuck their names on a dart board and threw the dart with my eyes closed and (20 something darts later because I have miserable aim, eyes open or not) hit Prussia, so that was also a big factor as to why I picked Prussia.
