The next day, Mexico and America silently went went to couples therapy together, but when they got there, Mexico simply handed Japan a check.
"We won't be seeing you anymore," Mexico said.
"What?" America and Japan said.
"We don't need couples therapy if we aren't a couple," Mexico said.
"Are you sure? You two were doing so good?" Japan said.
"Nono.... I deserve this....," America said. The two drove back home in silence, and Mexico immediately left the second he got back.
"Hey Ame, you came home early, where's Mex?" Canada asked.
"Shush I gotta go talk to Sov," America said.
"Oh no, something bad happened," Canada said.
"How'd you know?" America asked.
"He's your therapist friend, everyone has one. Some are the therapist friend, like me and Sovi," Canada said.
"Ok...," America said, going to his room. Meanwhile, Mexico was hanging out with the maphilindo trio.
"Wow, he cheated on you with his ex?" Phil said.
"Well... Prince America clarified he only did it because of a dare.... but still... he could have just said no.... but he didn't...," Mexico said.
"I dunno, try rebounding or something. Show him you don't need him or whatever," Malaysia said, flipping through a magazine.
"You're right... Mal, you're my boyfriend now," Mexico declared.
"What?! I wasn't suggesting myself!" Malaysia exclaimed.
"Do it, see if someone gets jealous, like Singapore or someone," Indonesia said.
"Hm... that would be fun... ok, let's be the cutest couple out there," Malaysia said.
Meanwhile, America was crying to Soviet.
"The problem is, if I wasn't so goddamn stupid I wouldn't break his heart every five seconds! But I'm so stupid!" America exclaimed.
"Yeah.... oh sh*t he rebounded fast...," Soviet said, scrolling through America's social medias.
"What?!" America exclaimed. Soviet showed America a picture Mexico posted of him and Malaysia, the caption being 'shopping with mi amor 💕💓💝💕💞💖💞💗💓'
"Yeah.... that was quick," Soviet said. America took a deep breath.
"It's fine it's fine I'm mature it'll be ok.... you know what? He's moving on, he's happy, so I should move on and be happy too! Uhh......," America said.
"America, I know when you lie. You obviously still love him," Soviet said.
"W-well yeah... but, sometimes you gotta let your loved ones go! Especially since he's so happy with that.... ahem... uh... good friend of mine........ I should try moving on too! I can be happy without him! And once I'm happy without him he can be happy without me! It's a two way thing!" America said.
"I'm not sure I'm on board with this idea but um.... who will you rebound with?" Soviet asked.
"You!" America exclaimed.
"I'd rather die- oh wait never mind... why me? You realize the sovame shippers reading will be disappointed when this inevitably doesn't work out," Soviet said.
"It... it will!" America exclaimed.
"Ame, stop lying to yourself," Soviet said.
"C'mon Sov, humor me," America said. Soviet sighed.
