Hetalia One-Shots - Seven Minutes in Heaven (countryxreader)

A slightly burnt scone (England)

As you reached into the hat, you felt something hard and somewhat crumbly; at first you thought the object was a rock. You carefully pulled it out and held it up. Turns out, what you thought was a rock was actually an overcooked scone.

"Who's is this?" You scanned the room with your eyes waiting for someone to claim the burnt food.

"That'd be mine, love" Alfred's older brother Arthur got up and walked towards you, holding his hand out to recieve the unedible scone.

Alfred grinned at you as he got his phone out to set a timer. You silently cursed at him, he knew you'd had a crush on his brother for ages! "Alright you two, into the cupboard you go!"

Once you were in the cupboard, you sat down and he seated himself next to you. For a few moments the two of you sat in a slightly awkward silence, neither of you knowing what to say. "I'm such a dumbass, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for years and I'm just wasting it in silence!"

Just before you could break the god-awful silence that plagued the room, Arthur spoke up. "You know, I've always thought you were rather pretty, with your (h/c) locks and those gorgeous pools of (e/c)." You felt a blush creep onto your cheeks; luckily it was pretty dark in the cupboard so he couldn't see the effect his words had on you, though it definitely showed in your voice.

"U-um thanks, I guess" Another few awkward seconds passed. "Could I tell you something, Arthur?" the British blond turned to face you, his emerald eyes staring directly into your (e/c) ones. "Sure, fire away, love."

You hesitated for a second, but then decided it was time you told him how you felt. Besides, the worst thing that could happen was him turning you down, Arthur was a gentleman, not someone who would go round telling the whole world. "Well I g-guess I've had a crush on you for a few years now, I just thought you should know." You mentally slapped youself, he probably thought you were a complete loser now with the way that was delivered!

Arthur chuckled and placed a hand underneath your chin, tilting your head upwards to face his. "Oh ____, you're so cute, you really don't have to be so nervous." the Brit slowly leaned towards you and you felt his warm lips against yours. "I love you, ____."

"I love you too, Arthur." Just as you were about to pull him in for a second kiss, Alfred opened up the door loudly "Time's up you guys!" You and the blond man next to you glared daggers at the American as you two walked out of the cupboard, blushing and holding hands.

The two of you spent the rest of the night sat next to each other with you leaning on his shoulder and his arm around your waist.
