I had a ton of fun at the pool. I got to hang out with all my new friends, especially Ivan. Together we made a great team defeating the others in shoulder wars.

I drew a lot closer to him as well.

- He is very caring. He puts others needs above his own. He helped me continue in the game once Italy surrendered.
- He's very strong. He was able to keep me up, and keep up the fight for an hour and a half.
- He is such a sweetheart, and I find him adorable.

I decide to go to the hotel room a few minutes before Ivan. He insisted on staying a bit longer in the gym with Alfred and Ludwig. As I am walking back to the room I find a letter in a pink envelope on my door. I pick it up, and see it is addressed to me, from Ivan. I carefully open it, and read the note.

Come to the hotel's bar/café (floor 10) for a drink at 8:00. Wear the red dress you bought today. I'll meet you there ;)

I thought we left the room to the pool together. When did he leave this note here? Maybe I didn't see him put the note in the door because I was walking in front of him when we walked to the pool.

I check the time: 7:45. I have 15 minutes to get ready, but I might as well go there early. What if he is already there and waiting for me. I wouldn't want to keep him waiting.

I quickly get dressed in my short red dress and wear my black, fishnet tights with lace, with a black pair of flats. I brush my long (hair color) hair and braid it into two Dutch braids. I take the letter and place it in my purse to bring along with me. I head toward the elevator to go to the tenth floor.

I have never been up on the tenth floor of this building, but I hear it has an outstanding view of the town. It would look extra beautiful with all the snow outside!

The elevator door opens on the tenth floor, revealing huge windows letting in so much light. The snowing has decreased, but it still isn't very safe to go outside.

I see one table right next to the window with two seats, and two small placecards with silver and black inscription on it, one saying, "Mr. Braginski" the other, "Ms. (Lastname)" There is a bouquet of red and white roses in the middle, placed in a tall vase, and candles lit on both sides of the table.

The rest of the café and bar is mainly empty. I see Italy getting a beer for Germany, but he's already on his way to leave.

I look out the window and wait for Ivan, the secret romantic that planned all of this.

. . . Ivan's point of View . . .

I'm walking back from the pool to the room, when I see (y/n) walking into the elevator wearing some fancy clothes.

What's the special occasion?

I walk up to our hotel door, and open the door. A pink envelope falls out. The front says "To, Ivan Braginski. From, your sunflower" It has a really cute sunflower drawn on the front as well. I open it carefully.

Let's go grab a drink at the hotel's café/bar at 8! Wear your usual clothes. Come on, It'll be fun! I'll be waiting for you! :3

♡With love, (first name) "Sunflower" (Lastname) ♡

I change out of my suitsuit and into my normal clothes. It's awfully sweet of her to plan this all out. I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity to tell her how I feel.

I start thinking of what I'm going to say to her. It needs to be perfect, just like her. She is an outstanding woman who stands up for herself, is brave and fearless. She'll make a great country one day. She did, in fact, attack Prussia a while ago in the meeting room. She'll bring down other nations, and she'll rise to the top. She is very friendly, and loves to laugh, and very pretty. But she's also different. She stands out of the crowd, and knows how to think outside the box. She knows how to use clever tactics and strategies to make a plan. She would make a great ally, and we can work together to be on top, just like we did during the game of shoulder wars. She came up with the plan that would keep us stabilized, and knock the others all down.

I know what I'm going to tell her.

I exit the elevator and enter the tenth floor, where I find (y/n) waiting for me at a fancy table.
