America walked through the park without a care in the world, tomorrow was his 20th birthday. According to his parents, one of the biggest birthdays he'll have.
While he walked through the park, he tried remembering the things that had happened for the last years. Oh god, he remembered how emotional he was when he was 14. He had a boyfriend for all of two weeks, until he suddenly disappeared. America could barely remember his name, but he got over him a long time ago.
In the distance, America saw his best friends Germany and Poland, who America swore were going to get engaged soon, and Japan, North and South Korea. He knew that North and South had a brotherly hate towards eachother because of Japan, who they, very obviously, had a crush on. South had even told America he did.
They all looked to America, America waved as a response. He jogged over to the group, jumping right into their conversation.
"So, what, you're turning 20 tomorrow, right?" Asked South, America nodded and grinned. "Well shit." He swore under his breath.
"Look, I'm still older than you by a week, so shut the fuck up." South rolled his eyes and laughed a bit, crossing his arms. "Moving on. When are you two," America gestured to Germany and Poland, "gonna get married?" He finished, he saw blush creep up onto Germany's face.
"Yeah, Germany, when?" Poland asked, crossing her arms and raising a brow. Germany was too stunned to speak, sure, he was planning on it soon, but not too yet.
"U-uh, that should be a surprise, r-right?" He stuttered, the group laughed and patted his back.
"Dude, we're playing with you." North laughed, Germany's nervousness turned into embarrassment.
"Anyway, America.." Poland sighed, he looked over to the white and red country. He made a sort of 'hm?' sound, Poland was about to talk when England suddenly burst in.
"Oh, hey England! What's up?" Japan exclaimed, trying her hardest to not say 'san' or 'senpai' or anything. England shrugged, placing a hand on America's shoulder.
"Boi, I haven't seen you in a month! Where've you been?" England asked, hugging Ame.
"I dunno, sorting out my living situation?" America responded bitterly, England stepped back a bit. "Anyway, so what's been going on at home? Like, how's mom and dad going?"
"Yeah, they've been good, Kiwi's been running around the house and causing trouble." England sighed, he could hear Poland snicker from beside him.
"Ugh, figures. She's six, what'd you expect?" America grumbled, the group began slowly moving down the limestone path. Poland kept getting pulled aside by Germany to be talked to, America didn't know what about, though.
After having a wholesome conversation, Poland tapped America on the shoulder, and pulled him aside. The rest of the group carried on with their new conversation about animals, while America was brought into the darkness the trees were casting.
"Yeah, what is it?" America breathed, closing his eyes and wanting to go back to the others. He was seriously impatient.
"Well.. first of all, happy birthday for tomorrow.." she started, America noticed how nervous she seemed. He didn't know why, though.
"..yeah?" America trailed off, staring off into the distance. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Poland take her backpack off, getting a few things out.
"Uhm.. first.. I-uh.. I got these in the post.." she held up a sheet of paper and a dark blue box, America couldn't see what was on them because of the shadows. "And um... You might not care about him anymore, but he makes it clear that he cares about you." She finished, handing America the items. Poland walked off, leaving America to figure out what they were.
