It's morning and...I smell something? I'm already getting flashbacks of...last week with the burnt cookies. I get out of bed and put my night clothes on correctly since I think they were inside out, putting on some slippers to walk out.

Once I peered into the kitchen I saw...Abel. There. In the kitchen. Making breakfast. It's already past the time for his work so he must have off today.

I slowly walk into the kitchen, making my presence known. "Morning?" "Was That a question?" "Yeah it was, because you never cook anything." He didn't say anything and kept his back turned to me. "Just be glad I am making something alright?"

He made...Bacon...eggs and pancakes. Not bad. Abel told me to sit down and wait for the food as he put it on a plate, watching me to see if I would eat. Of course I did and...Hey. He's pretty good at cooking, why doesn't he cook all the time? "This is Good." "Thank you." He nods, making himself a plate and sitting across from me.

Although he is wearing his night clothes he still has that scarf on. Why? It's beyond me. He was eating quietly in front of me before he stopped and did some sort of...fake cough?

"Um....You okay?" I asked, already skeptical of his actions. He fucking smiled at me. "Yes. Why?" "You're lying to me!"I almost yelled as his smile went away quickly, reverting back to his neutral expression.

"You are doing a lot today! You don't cook yet you actually made breakfast, you haven't scolded me yet, and you just smiled at me! What's going on with you today?" His eyes narrowed at me as he put down his fork and crossed his arms. "Well I was going to ask you something but I suppose you don't feel like hearing it. Yeah?"

I calmed down a little and sat up straight. "Wait no....I wanna hear it. What's up?"He looked at me and took a deep breath. "I'm not going to work today....Because I wanted to spend the day with you. Is that okay?" I blanked out right there and then. "I have to go out and get something first, but when I get back—" "O-of course!"

I replied immediately as he got up from the table and took both of our plates to the sink. Spend the day....with me? But why? I'm so confused...He confuses me....but now my cheeks are all red....

I didn't even watch him go to his room because I was still sitting at the table just...processing it all. "I'm leaving now."I heard him say in the distance as I timidly waved to him.

I scrambled to my room and picked up my phone, calling Laura, his sister. "Hello? (Y/N)?" "Y-Yeah it's me, I am having a bit of a predicament here...."
"A predicament? With what?"

"Abel. He's been acting strange this morning." "How so?" I went on explaining everything to her and she listened. I can hear the excitement in her voice. "Well maybe Netherlands—Abel likes you!"She squealed. "What?" "How long have you known each other?" "It's going to be a full year soon...."

"If you like him back give it a try? Maybe you'll see a different side of my brother!"She seemed really excited. "Okay Okay...." "Oh maybe when spring comes again you can do something for his birthday! It's April 30th." April huh....I'll remember that.

"Okay well thank you but I have to go Laura. Talk soon." I hung up and flopped on my bed, closing my eyes and covering them with my hands. Do I like him? I don't know....He seems to be warming up to me but I don't know if I should be in a relationship with him.

One time I asked him why he seemed to not like people. He didn't respond for a while but then he said it hurts. I didn't understand it until he told me what he was. A personification. Of the actually country of Netherlands. Immortal. I understood then....It hurts to see them go. Right? Then why is he being so nice to me? If it's just going to hurt him again? I don't want to hurt him...

There was a knock at my door. He's back already? "Come in...."Abel slowly opened the door but I still had my eyes closed. When I opened them he was towering over me with an expression that kind of scared me. "H-huh?"I jolted into a sitting up position as I noticed something behind his back.

"What's that?" Abel seemed to freeze up as he scratched his cheek and looked to the side. After a few more seconds he held out the item in front of me. Tulips. Yellow and red. "For you."
He stated simply. That's all he went out there for?

"Abel....."He seemed surprised I called him by name. "Thank you....."He nodded and turned to leave, as I saw a tiny blush covering his face. I held the bouquet of tulips before placing them on my nightstand. "I have to get a base for them...."

I got off my bed and Abel was just in his room, I'm guessing changing to indoor clothes. Went to the kitchen, got the vase, filled it with water but when I turned around he was just standing there again! "Are you okay?" "Yes?" With a nod I walk back to my room and place the tulips in the vase, turning around to see him peering through my door. "Abel." "Hm?" "Why are you spying on my every move?"

He didn't respond but didn't move either. I walked over to him and looked up at him. "Abel." "Yes?" ".......Why'd you do all of this for me?" There was a brief pause as he just stared at me. "Because...."He started. "Because you make me happy...I wanted to make you happy...."

"You're so weird." "What?"I walked straight up to him and hugged him. He's...well quite tall so my head rested in the middle of his chest. "But I like that about you." Abel seemed in shock, face burning with embarrassment before he smiled again, slowly wrapping his arms around me.

It was nice....Being hugged by him. "Well....the actual reason was that I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend.....but this is just fine."I moved one hand away from him and reached up to his face.....flicking his forehead for being so STUPID!

"W-why would you play with my emotions like that?!"I almost yelled at him as he froze up to the point where he fell back into his ass. His expression was so shocked and embarrassed he didn't even know what to say. "This whole morning you seemed to be acting weird, why didn't you just ask me this morning when we were eating? When did you even start liking me in the first place?!,"I continued on and on in an embarrassed rage as I was eventually on my knees right in front of him, as his legs were criss crossed.

He seemed to be rather confused by you know what? I need to let it all out right now. "Why—" I was shut up when his hand went under my chin. I was just staring at him now, as he was staring at me. "Can you just be happy? I'm your boyfriend now." "I-I didn't even say yes...." "Well?" "......Okay Yes Of course—Mm..."He leaned forward so fast I barely had time to react. I felt something pressed against my lips for a split second.

He moved away and let go of my chin, giving me a moment. Abel....kissed me. "That....was my first kiss...." "Well it stopped you from going on another rant....which frankly I didn't understand....." I nodded. "Yeah sure....."

"Well the day is for us. So. What do you want to do?"I looked at him and chuckled. "Let's watch some speed skating." He nodded and smiled a little bit. "Okay."Abel stood up and held his hand out for me to stand up as well.

I grabbed it and he pulled me up as we both walked to the living room, turning on the tv. This time instead of being silent we were both cheering and talking and laughing with each other. This is a new side of him I would've never thought existed.

Ah....My Dutch Angel.....I can call him mine now....God I don't know if you intended this but it looks like he's mine now, and he won't be coming back.
