Hawaii × Ohio

Ohio looked out at the ocean, stretching for miles. The sun shone brightly, the sky was a lovely canvas of blue, and he got to.....

....meet a fellow state for business purposes. Yay.

The plane ride was, to say the least, not very enjoyable. A baby was crying somewhere within the plane, making everyone tense. The man sitting in the seat beside Ohio's was winding his watch, creating an irritating buzzing sound. Mournfully, Ohio regretted this trip. He took off his jacket and draped it over himself. He decided to get some rest....

Ohio awoke to a red hand nudging him. He looked up, and was surprised to see not only a country, but.... "China?!" Ohio sat up quickly, straightening himself out in an attempt to avoid making his country seem lousy. "The plane stopped." China told him. Ohio stood, gathering his bearings. "Why are you here?" Ohio asked China. China shrugged, "I'm everywhere, young one." The two left the plane. They began a lengthy conversation as they worked their way through the airport. Ohio gathered his bags from a conveyer belt. China, for whatever reason, had no luggage. "Where is your luggage?" Ohio asked him. China looked at him. "Everywhere. But mainly in your closest Walmart..." he paused. "That's what it was called, yes?" Ohio nodded, as if this answer was enough. However, he was really suppressing the urge to declare China's words as obvious untruths.

They left the airport. China and Ohio split ways, waving farewell. Ohio felt very confused by the fact that they had encountered each other. He had not recalled China boarding the plane with him! That made it even weirder. Ohio shook his head, regaining his senses. Where was he, anyways? He supposed he was in Honolulu. I mean, where else, right? He intended to meet up with Hawai'i at a cafe. Ohio couldn't help but feel antsy. Hawai'i was an interesting lady.... she was short but built, in vague terms.

Whatever, he had to find out where he was headed. What cafe was it again?

---------

Ohio missed the meeting with Hawaii. He had not meant to, however he had gotten lost in the unfamiliar state and had failed to reach the meeting's location. Hawai'i had called him while he was searching and let him know that he took too long, and that she had other places to be. Damn it!

Oh, whatever. He was in Hawai'i now! He had a free day that he could enjoy without the constant stress of work. He entered himself into a hotel and changed into swimming trunks before heading for the beach. This was going to be so much fun. He had been overworking himself lately, so he felt he deserved a break, if only for a day or two.

He had been swimming for awhile when he heard a few girls giggling amongst themselves. One pointed at him and blushed. Oh my God, were they checking him out? Ohio felt a little anxious, honestly, so he ignored them. He was a complete dork. A nerd, perhaps. He had never considered himself a real ladies' man.... Nope, instead, he had bigger dreams. He had dreams filled with new machinery, becoming a pilot, travelling the world. Well, one would not call these dreams. They were wishes, mostly. They seemed prominently unachievable given his current status in life.

Finally, he took a break. He headed for a beach-side bar where he ordered a drink. Ohio was not a heavy drinker, but he was on vacation. Now was a great time for booze by the beach! Suddenly, a woman sat beside him. He glanced over at her...

"Hawai'i? I thought you were busy." Ohio asked. The woman turned to face him. "You were twenty-three minutes late. I was not going to wait for you." Hawai'i sighed. Ohio nodded, "I get that... Sorry. I got lost." He laughed. She couldn't help but smile at him, given his enthusiasm to laugh about his own mistakes. Ohio seemed like a good guy. "It is fine, Ohio. We all make mistakes." Hawai'i replied.

The two ended up talking for a long time. Ohio found himself sweating through most of it. He didn't know what it was, but Hawai'i made him nervous inside. Actually... he did know what it was. Titties. Sorry. Titties. Sorry.

"Hey, Hawai'i? Do you mind me coming over again next month?" Ohio asked. She gave him a smile. "Sure. If you don't get lost in the airport before you even leave." Hawai'i teased.
