"Lunch time!!"

As soon as those two words were shouted out, the countries immediately began to unpack their lunches, some of them walking through doors that seemed to lead to a break room. You grabbed the bag that contained your lunch, opening it up. You were glad that you listened to the invitation when it said to bring a lunch, you were starving!

You examined all the lunches of other countries, marvelling at the wonderful assortment of different foods. America had several hundred burgers and was chowing them down like chips, while another had a huge bowl of pasta and several were eating tomatoes like apples. Someone who looked an awful lot like America was eating a stack of pancakes, and Germany was eating sausage.

Countries had also begun to move around, enjoying lunch with their friends. England had moved to sit with a pale blond who had a weird curl, and a brunette who you were sure had fangs. They seemed to be having fun and you didn't want to ruin it, so you stayed in your seat. Soon though, the seat next to you was occupied by Frog Face, who smiled at you. You smiled nervously back at him and looked down at your lunch, a simple ham sandwich, an apple and a water bottle. As you began chewing on your food, you looked to where Frog Face was, and was surprised to see that he was still smiling, although this time into empty space.

You found it hard to swallow. "E-excuse me, do you need something?" You asked, watching as he turned his head towards you.

He thought for a moment before answering, "Non. I am just 'appy to be sitting next to such a beautiful woman!" He exclaimed, his pearl white teeth shining through his smile. You blushed strongly, going back to your sandwich. "Oh, but of course zhere is something I'd like..." He drawled, making you almost choke on your sandwich. What could he possibly want?! That, you did not know. You gulped, not risking a glance at him.

"What do you want?" You calmly asked, disguising the nervousness you felt. He seemed like a nice enough country, and he was also the only one besides England who would directly talk to you, so you were not quite sure what made you nervous.

Frog Face chuckled. "A kiss~" He said as he wrapped an arm around your shoulder and lifted your chin up. This time you actually did choke, dropping your sandwich and clutching your throat. Frog Face realised a moment later what was happening, and immediately dropped his arm from your shoulder. Your face was already turning blue, which, Frog Face guessed, was probably not a good sign. He started performing the Heimlich manoeuvre, making you successfully cough up the piece of sandwich.

As you were catching your breath, you noticed the other countries staring, eyes wide and stunned silent. England immediately rushed over to you, checking to make sure you were okay.

"Oh goodness I should have sat next to you! You could have died and I wasn't there and oh dear what is it?" He asked as you pushed him away.

"I'm fine England. Frog Face saved me!" The room suddenly went dead silent again as Frog Face cried out. England's face grew into a wicked grin and he patted you on the shoulder. You looked around, confused, as some of the countries began snickering. Oh right... Frog Face wasn't his actual name... He spun you around and looked at you with terrified eyes.

"Merde! Mademoiselle, quels autres mensonges a enseigné en Angleterre vous?! What other lies 'as England taught you?!" He cried out, his eyes pleading. You had no idea what was going on, or why Frog Face was so upset. "'As 'e said zhat my 'air isn't beautiful and fantastic?! Because it is!" You smiled nervously and looked back at England, who was having a hard time containing his laughter. You gave him a confused look, wondering what was so funny about an upset nation. You looked back at Frog Face and hugged him.

"I-I'm sorry I upset you..." You said, letting go. Frog Face was frozen, and England had suddenly stopped laughing. All the other countries had gone back to their lunch while England and Frog Face had a stare down. You shuffled awkwardly in the middle of them, and decided to break the ice by asking what Frog Face's real name was.
