Shy Boy (Hetalia Japan X Reader)

Chapter 10

Japan's POV

I don't know what strange urge came over me, making me do this. Anyways, here I am, in the middle of lunch break, watching (y/n) play basketball in the corner. I'm not even eating my lunch, she's too... Let's play safe and go with the word... Attractive. Even though it makes me sound like a love-sick stalker, which I may or may not be. Depends on your point of view. Everything depends on your point of view, right?

Anyways, I'm sitting in the corner stalking, excuse me, WATCHING (y/n). The way her eyes never leave the ball, the way her whole body seems to be unconsciously leaning towards the ball... Anyways, she's kinda pretty like this.

I blushed.

I sound like a stalker, dammit!

"Hey! Kiku!" Feliciano's voice floats over to me. "We're going to go to the cafeteria. Are you going to come?"

"I arready have runch. But you can sit here afterwards if you don't try to hug me," I stared steadily at Feliciano. "Rike rast time."

"I didn't know!" Feliciano looked at me with wide puppy eyes. His girlfriend, or a 'a-bit-more-than-friends' friend wasn't here, a bit of a surprise for me. Most girlfriends stuck to their lovers like glue.

"At reast you know now."

"Come on Feli. I'm going to grab lunch, you can stay here and chat with Kiku if you like." Ludwig, Feliciano's best friend, walked off.

"E-eh?! Doitsu! Wait up!" Feli turned towards me. "See ya later, Kiku!" He ran off, yelling "Doitsu! Doitsu!" After the other boy.

I took out my secret shipping notebook and wrote: Ludwig x Feliciano. As an afterthought I drew a heart around their names and wrote OTP next to it.

At least they'd never know.

I stuck the book in my bag and continued watching (y/n). They'd just finished playing the game and apparently (y/n)'s side had lost. Most of (y/n)'s teammates looked downcast, but (y/n) was, by the look of it, encouraging her teammates. I fanboyed internally and thought, (y/n)'s so perfect... She keeps her spirits up no matter what... She also plays basketball so well... And that's an added bonus.

"Ve! Kiku!" The Italian's voice floated over. "We've got lunch, do you wanna eat some? Only eating rice balls isn't going to get you through Phys Ed."

I eyed the lunch cautiously. The thing looked like dog food, smelled like dog food and probably tasted like dog food as well. I carefully tried a bit, and nearly choked on it. I bet Arthur made it! Only Alfred would eat this, and that's because they're together!

"No, I'm furr arready. Besides, since when did we start having Phys Ed on Mondays? I thought they were on Wednesdays, am I right?" I struggled to keep a straight face when he saw Feliciano squirm uncomfortably.

"V-ve... Yes... But you eat too little! Rice balls are too little for you!"

"So far, nothing has gone wrong because of my eating habits. I have not had harrucinations. I have not fainted. I have not ferr asreep in crass due to rack of energy. I onry do that when the teacher starts tarking about history. And that's onry because the teacher makes it sound boring. Besides, even if I do farr asreep in crass that wourdn't happen today because rater we have art, my favourite subject, remember?"

"Ve... Yes... But still... Rice balls aren't going to make you full!"

"I am perfectry f-" I retorted, as the bell rang.

Feliciano jumped up as if he got struck by lightning. "Oh yeah! Next lesson is Math! I didn't do my homework! Oh no!" The Italian ran off, leaving the other two behind.

The German sighed. "I guess I'll have to get him. He forgot that it's Italian today instead of Math."

"See you until class then." I looked politely on as the German ran after the other, turning away until the German disappeared out of sight. Hey, it's a Japanese custom right?

*timeskip brought to u by Prussia's awesomeness*

"Ok, class, today you will be given a very interesting task to do." The class groaned.

Mr Vargas frowned. "I thought you would be happy! This task involves," He turned to write on the blackboard, "Sketching," write, "A nice partner who'll be a pretty girl," Some of the boys started eyeing the girls and started whispering to each other. "And a month's time to finish it. Ok? Now, because I'm such a nice guy, I've helped you divide your groups so that there will be no arguing from the boys about the other boys' partners. Clear?"

The class, mainly the boys, grumbled slightly but didn't say anything.

"Alright then, here's the list. Let me see... Oh, right, because we have more boys than girls, some boys will be with boys. But don't worry, I know all about your petty love lives so I'll put most of you in a group with your girlfriend. Ok, Antonio will be with my darling little grandson, Lovino," The before-mentioned Italian blushed furiously but didn't say anything. "Alfred is going to be with Arthur," Alfred grinned like the maniac he was at Arthur, who scowled. "And Ludwig is with my other grandson, Feli. The rest of you get to be with girls, ok?

"Ok, so..." Mr Vargas rattled off a while list of names, which resulted in a bunch of tiny 'yes's, some 'no...'s, and some 'Hey! That's my girlfriend!'s.

"Oh yeah, Kiku, you get to be with (y/n)."

My brain stuttered to a stop. W-wait... What was that again?

(Y/n) slid smoothly into the seat in front of me. She turned around, and stuck out her hand.

"Well, looks like we're stuck with each other for a pretty long time then. So, nice to meet you, partner."
