-Timeskip- -Yao's P.O.V-

During the meeting, I just rested my head on my arm and listened to the others discuss whatever. I really felt weird and it was bothering me way too much.

After what seemed like forever, they finally agreed on something and ended the meeting. Russia and America left for their homes and England, France and I were the only ones left.

They came up to me and England asked, "What happened, Yao?"

"Something is bothering me," I replied.

"And what could it be?" asked France.

Both of them grabbed a chair for himself and sat down.

"Whenever I see ____, my stomach churns and my face gets hot. Especially when she is smiling or laughing..." I explained.

England blinked.

"When I am the cause of her unhappiness, guilt haunts me," I sighed.

"When she forgives me, I wonder if I actually deserve it," I continued, looking at both of them.

Both of them gawked at me with wide eyes.

"Why, Yao, I never thought I would say this to you, but..." England smiled and I looked at him, "You're in love with her,"

France nodded, "And I mean, madly in love."

I blinked. I am in love with ____? Sure, I remember telling her that I liked her, but I didn't mean it in a romantic way.

But, now that I realized, telling her that I loved her will mean something else. I thought about it seriously and I reddened.

"But I'm still not sure of my own feelings, Arthur. What do I do?" I asked.

"Spend some more time with her and eventually, you'll know when your heart tell you." he smiled.

"I hate to do so, but I'll have to agree with you on this one, Arthur Kirkland." France smirked.

"Finally," England rolled his eyes.

"Well, sorry if I wasted your time," I apologized and stood up.

"No, this was a sensitive topic and you had to talk to someone about this. That was a smart choice," said England, standing up as well and patting my back.

France spoke, "Yao, if ever you're in the same bed as her...you got to..."

He started all his crude explanations of what to do in bed with that person you like in such a vivid and weird way, it sent shivers down my spine.

Thankfully, England saved me.

"Shut up with that! Yao didn't even confess yet and you're encouraging him to do such stupid things?!" he shouted.

"It's not stupid! He's got to do it one day, right?!" France defended and then looked at me.

"I...I have lost faith in my decisions..." I mumbled lifelessly and walked out.

"What's with him?" asked England, who was in hold of France's neck.

"Just the after effects of realization," he smiled in a perverted way.

-Timeskip-

I dragged my tired legs down the streets. Just then, a faint smell of dumplings passed my nose.
