Quebec's life (CountryHuman Fanfic)

Chapter 18

Quebec quickly buried her weird feeling away once she got home. After all, she is just a province, she knows that she can't be with anyone that isn't a simple human, even if she isn't interested in humans... Their life's too short compared to hers. In short, she knows that these feelings should be prohibited from her life, so why would she keep them?

However, Russia didn't immediately think the same. He didn't even put a name on it. Though, he chose to answer the part of him that wanted to see her more with his usuals excuses. For him, there wasn't any problem with creating a false alarm if he could keep her for an hour or two, just to hear her giggles. He didn't use it too often, but just enough to bring more suspicion from his siblings. After all, Belarus and Ukraine took care of him for YEARS with his "habit", so they know the pattern by heart.

And when a year pass since Quebec's freedom in the city, an other thing happen : America started to throw too much party.

Actually, Québec is trying to sleep at her house, turning again and again on each side of her bed. At this rate, she'll make a fire. After all, she has been doing that for over three hours. When the woman get up to take a glass of water while trying to find a way to sleep, she doesn't expect her family being awake. What's her surprise when she sees New Zealand in the kitchen, drinking some sparkling water.

Quebec : you're not sleeping, Zea?

New Zealand : you neither, Becky... *sighs* can't stop my mind. And you?

Quebec : don't know... The last few days, when I couldn't sleep, I was going to Russia's bed and sneak in, but ... I can't really do that when he's not here...

New Zealand : are you doing that each night at his house?

Quebec : yea, why?

New Zealand : maybe you can't sleep without him, now...

Quebec : *blushes* what?! N-no!! I only slept at his house when Amé was throwing a party!

New Zealand : it's the first night without Ame's party for over a month...

Quebec : seriously? I thought it would be less than that...

New Zealand : yea... So you see that I'm probably right?

Quebec : I would hate it, Zea...

The province shrugs and drinks a glass of water before going back to bed. While her sister isn't able to sleep, New Zealand sighs and finishes her glass before going back to her bed, finally able to stop her mind. The province tries again to fall asleep, in vain. She even ends up fully awake when all her family leave for the meeting without her, thinking that she's already there.

It's in a heavy sigh that the woman runs everywhere to be ready for the meeting, before she runs to the building, slamming the door open as she apologizes in french. The countries, who were actually waiting for the meeting to start, look at her, surprised, before giving a smirk to the lady at the door. Quebec blushes of embarrassment, before she sits at her place, next to Canada. The maple's country smirk as he looks at his sister, amused.

Canada : *whisper* Why were you so late? Overslept?

Quebec : *whisper back* no, it's more the opposite... I couldn't sleep at all

Canada : Seriously? Why?
Quebec : Don't know... Zea thinks that it's because I'm used to sleep with Russia, but I don't know what to think about it...

Canada : *amused* Are you in love or is he your favorite pillow?
Quebec : *blushes* j-just favorite pillow...

Canada : *snigger* right...
