Finding Love (China x Female Reader x Japan)

Chit-Chat

I took a quick shower, then pulled some fresh clothes out of my suitcase and wore them. After getting ready, I made my way out of my room and headed towards the living-room.

Standing outside the door, I could hear many voices from inside. I took in a deep breath and turned the knob.

The first sight I was met with was a silver-haired guy pulling the cheeks of a blonde muscular man.

"Stop it brother. My cheeks are getting numb."
"Kesesesese. Your face is really hard, West. Let the awesome me loosen it up for you!"

I sweatdropped. I didn't understand what to do or say.

"Hey, (Y/n)!" Alfred was sitting on the couch eating popcorn, along with Francis and Lovino. He waved his hand at me.
I waved back.

Suddenly, all the countries' eyes landed on me.

"Ve~ Bella, come and join us," Feliciano came up to me and dragged me inside the room.

The blonde man who was getting his cheeks pulled stood up and approached me. He stood straight like a professional soldier, his body well-built.

"Pardon my elder brother's foolish behaviour. I'm Ludwig, also known as Germany," he said, giving a military bow.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Annnd, the awesome me is none other than the Great Prussia!" the silver-haired guy declared.
"Just call him Gilbert," Ludwig said to me.
"Oh, okay..."

My eyes searched for Kiku and I found him sitting on the same sofa where I was sleeping, drinking green tea. My heart pounded in my chest. I slowly went up to him.

He looked up from his cup and smiled at me. "Is there something I can help you with?"
"Umm...well, I..."

Just then, a bucket of popcorn was pushed right in front of my face. "Want some, dudette?" Alfred grinned.
"Oh...thank you..." I took some popcorn that he offered. I don't want to sound rude, but Alfred was always getting between me and Kiku. I was upset.

"Aiyah, (Y/n) I have been looking all over for you, aru!"

I turned around to see Yao with lots of plates balancing on his two hands.

"Yao, what are these?" I asked him, surprised.
"Oh, these are some dishes that I made for you, aru!"

He placed all the dishes around the centre-table and opened the lids. The delicious aroma hit my nostrils and I took in the smell. Not only that, the food was well-presented too.

"What are you waiting for, aru? Dig in!"

The food was unfamiliar to me but I guessed they were Chinese delicacies. I took the chopsticks that was kept beside the other cutlery and picked up a piece of shrimp, putting it in my mouth. "Hmmm...it's delicious, Yao! You're a wonderful cook!"

I looked up to see all the countries staring at me. I blinked.

Did I do something wrong?

"(Y/n), you can use the chopsticks?" Ludwig asked.
"Oh yes, I have practised."
"You have practised, aru? Why?" Yao questioned me.
"Well...that's because..." A blush spread on my cheeks.

Kiku stepped up to me. "It is really wonderful that you can use chopsticks, Miss (Y/n)."
My face became red on hearing a compliment from his mouth. It was like I was about to faint again when Alfred chimed in.

"Hah! I went to eat at Japan's place numerous times but I still couldn't hold those sticks!"
"Chopsticks, Mr. America," the Japanese man corrected.
"Yeah...sticks! Nahahahaha!"
Kiku sighed.

I softly giggled when I noticed Yao curiously studying me.

"So, (Y/n)? Did China show you around here?" Alfred asked me.
"Oh, not yet."

"I was going to, aru!"

Yao turned to me with a smile. "Take your time to finish your meal and we'll head off, okay aru?"
"Yes, Yao," I smiled.

After finishing the food, Yao took me to explore the mansion. But before we went out the living-room, he turned back.

"Japan, would you like to accompany us, aru?"
