The Dysfunctional Family Of Europe (Reader x Yugotalia)

Ch.13 The Cat's Out of the Bag

'So, last time we left mon Ami, (c/n), in a tough spot. She was now suspecting Croatia and Albania of doing something...That she wished she had never imagined. Probably under ze cover of night doing such, naughty illicit things—'

'Oi frog don't scar the readers! Some of them want to know what happens next! Don't put such lewd thoughts in their head you pervert!'

'Readers?'

'O-oh forget it! Continuing on!....D-damn France and his idiocy...'

"A-Albania...Croatia...."I blinked at them as Croatia took a step back before dashing up the stairs, as all hell broke loose from there. "Oops~Looks like I couldn't help but brag a little~"Albania laughed as Macedonia nearly shrieked, causing all of us to cover our ears.

"D-Doing something like that....No! You are lying to me Albanija!" Albania put his elbows up and his hands behind his head. He was fake whistling. "M-Macedonia is right—You wouldn't right?" I added in as Serbia was just staring at the three of us, not a clue what we were talking about.

"Can Someone fill me in here, I'm lost."Serbia said dully, as he closed his eyes. "Brother please stay out of this."Macedonia said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "I don't like being out of the loop of things and you guys all seem to know what's going on and I know jack shit!"

"Maybe it's better that way."Albania said snarkily, causing Serbia to flare his nostrils a little bit. "The Hell is that supposed to mean huh?"He shot back at him, only earning a smirk from the male. I could tell Serbia was getting heated from the man's personality, Albania has this aura of...Arrogance. About him.

"Well, If Serbia is so inclined on knowing, I shall spill the tea or čaj in your case."Albania spun around and faced the three of us, as Montenegro had caught on to what was going on, watching from the couch with his eyes closed of course. What we went on to hear, was a monologue of sorts. We remained silent throughout the whole thing.

"Ever since I was little,"He chuckled. "I had been close, but not too close to Croatia. We were childhood friends you know, and we were happy with that. I was the shoulder to lean on when things got tough...When we got a little older I started to feel this lightness in my heart when I was near him. I knew it as soon as it happened. I was in love~I couldn't help myself, so I stayed close to him, I stayed his friend since I had no clue about his sexuality. I assumed he was straight, and I didn't want to ruin our little friendship. But deep down,"He sighed and held his hands over his heart. "I yearned for it."

"I thought it would always be a forbidden sort of love, unconditional and one sided. But then...Last year...something spectacular happened. We had gone out drinking for a night at a bar. Croatia had ordered one of his favorite beers, Ožujsko, several times that night...I wasn't drinking at the time, so I helped him back to my place for the time being. He was smiling and laughing and everything was right..."He took a deep breath.

"Once we got back to my place I laid him on the couch...I had gone to the kitchen to pour out some wine for myself, I'm a horrible Muslim I know, before returning and sitting next to Croatia on the couch. He sat up with this...sparkle in his eyes and..."Albania started to giggle like a schoolgirl, he could barely get the words out.

"He kissed me! I knew at that moment that this was destiny. We went all the way that night and haha...we got a little kinky with the handcuffs but he enjoyed it. And so did I. We cuddled that night and...When he woke up he immediately started going on and on and on about how this whole thing was a mistake and...."Albania looked down at the ground. "He's my soulmate, I know it."

Silence. Everyone was in shock, including me. That actually happened. It sounded so real, he wouldn't just make this up, I mean that blush on his face sure is real enough for me! Time seemed to have stopped for a moment but...Within a few seconds of silence. Serbia collapsed on the ground. He had fainted from shock.

"B-brother?"Macedonia fell to her knees and shook him a little, realizing he was out cold. "Oh dear~"Albania cooed. "And He's the one who wanted to hear all of this too...He couldn't handle the truth—" "Stop talking and help me bring him to his room Albania!"Macedonia barked at him, her cheeks stained a dark red just thinking about the story.

I caught a glimpse of Montenegro's eyebrow's lifting in surprise before he let out a slow sigh and fell back down on the couch. I wish I could do the same. "You!"Macedonia pointed at me, catching me completely off guard. "Huh?" "Go upstairs and check on Croatia...And make sure this guy stays away for now."Albania made a pouty face as I clumsily scrambled up the stairs.

I felt like I was in a daze, I didn't know what to believe, What to do! This was all insanity at this point, ever since Albania decided to come here. This wasn't in the job description at all. At this point it's more than just a position, a job I've been given, I'm too far in to quit.

Croatia's room is next to mine. I knocked on it quietly, letting my presence be known. "Croatia?"I whispered out ghostly. "Are you okay?"There wasn't a response at first, as I realized the door wasn't locked. That seems...unlike him. I slowly pushed the door open and Croatia was...laying on his bed, pillow over his face.

"What do you want..."He groaned out as I closed the door behind me, quickly making my way over to him and sitting down on the edge of his bed. "Um...I...I heard about the thing and..."Croatia threw the pillow off of his face and sat up, eyes wide. "He didn't." He started, in disbelief. "Y-Yeah he did, in front of Macedonia, Montenegro and even Serbia. He's the reason he..."

Croatia seemed to be freaking out even more now, writhing around on his bed as I grabbed his shoulder. "Calm down Croatia, you're acting childish..." "Childish! No no no! This is an appropriate reaction—How Are you so calm?!" "I...I didn't know what emotion to feel when I heard..."He threw his head back onto the mattress again and covered his face. "My life is over...I'm finished! I'm going to die of embarrassment—Watch me wither and curl up and DIE right here!"He Said quite dramatically.

"Why is your life over now? Because your secret is out?"I blinked, plenty of people have stories like this right? It's nothing too taboo. "So then you know...you're okay with it?"He paused. "What? Yeah I heard it all, I'm okay with it..." "Okay...So..."There was a long pause. I could hear Croatia suck in a breath.

"Me being a masochist and all right?"

My eyes widen. His do too out of pure horror, the mistake, we weren't talking about the same thing.

———

'Croatia? A masochist? Gah~! I had no idea! All of those years under other people's control and he loved it didn't he~?'

'That's Ah...Quite the thought isn't it...'

'Oui Oui, it is~!Iggy, Are you a masochist as well?'

'Why the BLOODY HELL would you ask me some sort of question like that?! Of course I'm not you frog!'

'It was just because we were ok the subject...Oh things are getting spicy are they not? Tune in for the next chapter~'

'Oh so now you realize it's a—Never mind....'
