Serendipity

Chapter 2 - Trust

(a/n: chapter twooo :D alright! Progress! XD)

Hungary sat, facing Prussia, and rubbed her temples, trying to keep a scowl off her face. She straightened her bandana, looking to him and meeting his accusing glare with a pained look.

"What can I do to make you trust me? We were- ... erm ... close friends ... before this. I know, I know, the stutter makes it less convincing ... " She trailed off, silently adding 'but you never knew, can't know, and probably never will know.'

She looked him in the eye, her gaze hardening with anger.

"Look, I don't care what you think right now, you're with friends and allies. Well, friends and Austria. You two never liked each other; but we've been friends since we were children!" She pressed, trying to get a reaction, anything, out of him.

He scowled, his brow furrowing in thought. With an annoyed groan his forehead hit the table.

"Your voice ... it's familiar from ... somewhere. I can't remember where, but your voice is important."

It was muffled and not exactly easy to understand but Hungary was sure she had heard him right.

'Well this is ... odd. He's normally silent until he regains his memories.' Hungary thought tiredly, her eyes narrowing.

"And is that good or bad?" She asked carefully.

Prussia looked up at her, still scowling.

"I don't know! Your important, okay? That's all I know right now!" He growled, annoyed even further.

"Has he regained his memories yet? I hear him speaking." Austria's nasal voice called, insincere and cold.

"Kind of? Progress, but not much." Hungary replied, rolling her eyes at her snobby friend. "So ... "

She turned back to Prussia, surprised to find him studying her thoughtfully with a practical and scientific gaze that one wouldnt normally attriubte to him. She took this opportunity to study him as well, noting his various injuries and broken bones. He had a bandage around his head, gauze on his right cheek, and his left forearm wrapped wirh a bandage. Hungary grimaced; she shouldn't be torturing herself with worries about his physical health, not when his mental state was still so fragile. She just couldn't help but worry, especially after all the times he'd cared for her after battles when they were younger.

'Before he found out I was a girl ... ' She thought sadly, dropping her gaze to the table with a quiet sigh.

(a/n: wow. This really isn't much better length wise, compared to the first chapter. Soboewjbflsjdnfsjbsjdnf. Ok, well, that aside, v&c, no flames please :D hope you like it so far!)
