The Hero and the Survivor

The Master Plan

"So where did Poland go?" America asked Israel as she got herself some cereal from Poland's kitchen. The simple little kitchen was nice and, to America's surprise, a beautiful blue color. He had expected it to be pink.
"I don't know," Israel answered as she sat down across from America,"he was here when I went to bed, but not this morning." She shrugged as ate her food and half watched her friend eat his toast at the kitchen table. It was quiet for a while as they ate and a question burned at the back of Israel's throat. Eve kept her mouth shut though; a part of her didn't want to hear his answer.
"Is everything alright?" America asked he looked at her. Israel blushes slightly when he caught her looking at him and nodded before eating her food some more.
"Are you sure?" He persisted,"you have that look like you want to ask me something. The hero can tell." Israel cursed herself mentally and gave a half smile to her friend. The Jewish woman quickly tried to find her voice again. Even though America didn't know, Israel was trying very hard to avoid the elephant in the room.
"Um," she began quickly,"I just wanted to know if you want to hang out and watch a movie with me today." A part of her mentally kicked herself for not being brave enough to ask her closest friend a question.
"You bet!" America said happily as he jumped to his feet,"I mean I'd love to have a mini vacation with one of my best friends." She smiled at him as they cleaned up before heading to the living room of Poland's home. He began to talk about a horror movie he wanted to watch with her as Israel's mind drifted off. As happy as she was to have the America as a best friend, the bitterly dark feeling of wishing for more lingered within her. 
~Lithuania's House~
Toris rubbed his temples; how had he gotten dragged into this? Oh wait, now he remembered, Poland invited him saying it was really important. Well it was kind of important, but Lithuania thought he had meant something along the lines of Germany starting another world war or Russia was going to swallow up another country, not planing to get America and Israel together!
"Lithuania?" Ireland asked, bring the Eastern European back to reality,"are you okay?" Her dark emerald green looked at him concerned as he sighed.
"I'm okay," he said, smiling shyly at the ginger haired country. She didn't really believe him, but she let it go. Ireland could tell he wanted his space.
"Like everyone!" Poland announced getting everyone's attention,"we like need a plan to get like America and Izzy like totally together! And I like have a totally great master plan to get them together! We throw them into a room together, lock them in, and wait till something like happens!" It was completely silent for a moment before the whole room in sync face palmed.
"Mr. Poland," Kurdistan said quietly,"why don't we see if anyone else has an idea." All the other countries nodded and Poland sighed.
"Fine," Poland said as he sat down,"But like my idea is still totally the best." It was silent for a moment.
"We have them go out on a really romantic date. Then, we could just flat out tell America Israel likes him eh?" A voice said and everyone looked around to find who said that. Canada sighed to himself; he was right here at the table!
"Well whoever said that," Armenia said looking around the room,"I think we should go with that since no one else has any better ideas." Everyone seemed good with this except Poland who still thought his idea was best.

Time Skip...

"America," a English accented voice echoed,"you idiot are you here?!" America and Israel could hear England all the way from the living room of Poland's house. There they say under a blanket watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They had watched New Hope earlier and neither of the felt like doing anything else but relax and watch Star Wars. At first, America put his finger over his lips and they both got quiet and hoped England would leave.
"Alfred!" England yelled,"you wanker! I know your here and you too Israel! Now one of you come and open the door this bloody instant!" They both groaned and America got to get the door, while Israel paused the movie. As soon as the door opened, England came right in.
"You bloody idiots!" England hissed,"why did you leave me outside for so long!" They walked back to the living room where Israel held the remote.
"We were watching a movie, so we couldn't hear you," Israel said as America sat back on the sofa and England sat right in between them. Israel glared slightly at England and while she meant to glare at the back of his head; he turned to face her at that exact moment. They both just sat looking at each other rather shocked for a moment and then the sound of a stomach grumbling pulled them back to reality.
"Well I'm going to get something to eat," America announced jumping to his feet,"be back in a flash and don't start the movie without me." He dashed from the room before either of them could respond leaving England and Israel alone together.
"You do know," England said quietly,"he's mine right?" He look at Israel directly in the eyes with a triumphant look on his face. A face he often used when he knew had won a war before it even began.
"You two aren't even dating," Israel said simply,"how is he yours?" Her dark navy blue eyes met his to show she wasn't backing down. England snickered and leaned back against the sofa. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them; his devious green eyes met her in an instant.
"I was going to try and be nice about it but since your not backing down then I'll be frank with you," England said smugly as he sat up straight,"America has always loved me and always will. You are just someone he took pity on and I supposed it would make perfect sense that you fell in love with him. But he is mine and always will be mine. Just as he will never care for you more than a friend and he will most certainly never love you."
