idk how to feel about this one. but it's a 2022er I believe. also there's Monaco x Vienna.

THEY/THEM CIS MALE DC IS SO REAL

"I wonder why they're all held in Washington." Singapore spoke aloud as they pushed the doors to the meeting room open.

"Hey, Singapore!" Monaco yelled and threw herself across the room. Vatican City, who Monaco was talking to, followed, abit slower.

"Oh, hey, guys." Singapore smiled.

"How are you?" Monaco questioned.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Singapore replied before lowering their voice, "This hairstyle means I'm having a more feminine day."

"I'm doing great, thanks!" Came Monaco.

"I'm well, thank you for asking." Vatican answered, "By the way, usually either DC or Paris, sometimes both of them, invite a guest to these meetings, and both of them always invite the same person. Sometimes Ottawa does as well, but with a different person."

"Don't know if the guests will be here today though, since usually the guest invited by DC and Paris shows up with one of them, usually DC, but if Ottawa invited her guest, then their guest might show up with her and her guest." Monaco shared.

DC, noticing the newcomer at the door, started walking over. Out of the corner of their eye, Singapore saw them.

"America?" Singapore questioned.

DC looked at the door as Monaco laughed and Vatican City smiled. Realizing Singapore was talking about them, DC walked up to them.

"I'm Washington DC, pleasure to meet you. You must be Singapore. Feel free to just call me—and the city—DC." They smiled, "Trust me, you're not the first to call me America. Usually my height is used to differentiate me from D-America."

Singapore smiled back, "Yeah, I'm Singapore. Glad I'm not the only one. Nice to meet you."

"By the way, what pronouns do you use?" DC questioned.

Singapore felt tears sting at their eyes before they could reply, "I... I uh use they/xe any time and uh she/her on more feminine days and he/him on more ma-masculine days since I- uh- I'm genderfluid. Thanks for asking."

DC smiled again, "Of course. I know a lot of people who use pronouns that don't align with their gender. I'm even used to fluctuating pronouns, since I have a s-uh- friend who uses fluctuating pronouns. I use they/them myself, despite being a cis guy."

"Really?" Singapore questioned, "You know someone else?"

"Mhm. Bee uses They/Bee/It and fluctuating She/He. I would try to get you connected with it but they're quite shy." DC excused, "If you don't mind me asking, does your human name also fluctuate? Apis- that's the friend I was talking about- thought about having a fluctuating name but then she found the name Apis."

"It does." Singapore found themself smiling, "On more feminine days, it's Li, on more masculine days, it's Lian, and during the rest, it's Lin."

"Alright, noted." DC spoke, "My human name's George."

"Did we ever tell you ours?" Monaco found herself questioning.

"No..?" Singapore replied.

"Well then, I'm Rosalie!" Monaco smiled, "And this here's Filippo!"

"Monaco, I can introduce myself."  Vatican fondly replied.

"Sorrrryy!" Monaco spoke.

"Are they always like this?" Singapore asked, staring.

"I can only speak for these meetings, but yes." DC replied, also staring.

Monaco turned towards DC, "C'mon DC, you know as well as I do that we are not like this outside of capital meetings."

DC raised an eyebrow, "Oh can I now? That'd be pretty weird considering that I never see you or Vatican outside of meetings."

"Why you-" Monaco paused, almost lunging forward, "I would attack you right now but I don't feel like being killed later."

DC chuckled darkly as he spoke, "Good decision."

"DC! Did you tell him?" Paris shouted, practically barreling into the younger boy.

"Of course I did, what do you take me for?" DC spoke, "He was busy when I left, so he'll probably be coming in with Ottawa."

"Is she coming too?" Paris questioned.

"Yeah. Ottawa wanted her to come." DC shared, "I'd probably introduce yourself to Singapore here."

"Oh right!" Paris smiled before turning to the Asian country, "Bonjour! Je m'appele Paris! Comment ça va?"

"Uh, sorry, I don't speak French?" Singapore replied.

Before Paris or even Monaco could translate, DC spoke, "Translates to Hello! I'm Paris! How are you?"

"How did we forget you are a human translator?" Vatican spoke.

"I don't know about you guys, but I didn't." Paris spoke.

"That's because you're literally best friends with him." Monaco replied, "You deal with them way more often than we do."

"I'm doing well, thanks for asking." Singapore smiled, "I'm Singapore. How are you?"

"I'm well." Paris spoke.

"Tell Paris your pronouns, she's used to about what I am. She just finds asking awkward." DC told Singapore.

"They/Xe, fluctuating He/She." Singapore smiled.

Paris nodded, "That's kind of like Ut-" "APIS!!!" DC yelled, interrupting.

"Yes, Apis. Jesus, I haven't accidentally done that in so long." Paris spoke.

DC looked at her panicked, not knowing what she was talking about.

"DC, I'm talking way back when I first found out." Paris spoke, "I didn't accidentally... y'know. I'm not that untrustworthy."

DC let out a sigh of relief, "Okay."

At that moment, the door creaked open, revealing Ottawa, Canada, and America.

Singapore rapidly looked back and forth between DC and America.

"Am I seeing double?" They questioned aloud.

"Dad!" DC exclaimed, tackling the man.

"What." Singapore spoke, shocked.

"Hey, kiddo!" America smiled at his son.

Singapore blinked a lot.

"Oh, right. Forgot the countries don't know about that." Paris commented.

"Of course you forgot." Monaco facepalmed.

"Mona!!!" A voice yelled as someone ran over.

"Venna!!!" Monaco yelled, running to meet her in the middle.

Both tackled each other into hugs before Vienna kissed Monaco's forehead.

"Or that..." Paris trailed as she glanced at Singapore's increasingly confused face.

"Singapore, hello!" Canada spoke.
