AirHetalia

There he sat in the lobby of the luxurious hotel in Bali. He wore dark sunglasses and his uniform was slightly crinkled, but not too bad. An annoyed aura radiated from him and he kept on playing with his crew tag which drooped over his suitcase.
It was 5:30 in the morning and the crew bus was to arrive at 5:40. He didn't bother to go and eat breakfast since he was most likely going to stuff himself with bread on the plane later.
Soon arrived the rest of his crew for the flight back to London Heathrow. The commander being a dorky Spaniard who often tried to get with one of the other Flight Attendants. He was constantly trying to get to the back of the plane where the smaller Italian man was stationed, but since Arthur was such a good friend and galley lead he didn't let Antonio through.
Arthur knew that Romano had a crush on Antonio but he always begged Arthur to keep the tall man away from him. At least at work.

"Goooood morning Arthuuuuur!" Good god...
Thought Arthur as he saw his arch nemesis Francis run up to him. "How in the hell are you always so awake?" He stood up and the whole crew walked outside to get to the van which would drive them to the airport. Of course Francis had to sit next to Arthur. He was glad that at least on the plane they were on opposite ends. "You know, everytime I see you I feel your sexual frustration so I feel superiority to you which makes me so energized!" Antonio, who was sitting in the back had to laugh but quickly stopped when the co-pilot, Berwald, glanced at him with his threatening eyes.

Arthur was boiling with anger and looked to Romano for help but he was just looking outside the window. They soon arrived at the airport and checked in their bags. It always felt good walking to the gate wearing his uniform. He felt slightly superior and that boosted his ego. They boarded the plane and went to do their pre-flight check when Arthurt realized something. "W-wait guys! Have you seen Matthew?" The soft Canadian was also stationed at the front with him and he was rather forgettable. "I-I'm here Arthur!" Matthew whisper-yelled and tapped him on the shoulder. "My God Matthew don't make me worry like that again!" A man in a yellow vest gave him the passenger list. "But I was always right here." Matthew said while pointing to the food he prepared for later.

At the back there was a little more ruckus. "Fucking Bastard get out of my way." Romano wanted to prepare the trolleys but Francis just had to stand in front of them. "So angry this early? You should really let Antonio into you room on overnight stays." He walked into the cabin to check the emergency exits while Romano fumed in the galley.

"Okay guys, boarding!" Arthur said into the PA system and Francis straightened his jacket before standing near the emergency exits to welcome the passengers.
The flight wasn't fully booked which was a relief for everyone since that meant that every passenger had enough space for their handluggage. They all have had bad words thrown at them because of the lack of space in the overhead bins. The best way to cope with harsh words is to know you're not a wizard that can make more space! Under the front seat is plenty of space! If their legs are too long, they should book business.

Boarding was completed after 30 minutes and the preparation for take-off began. Since AirHetalia always kept it cheap, they didn't have instructional videos to show before the flight. So Francis, Arthur and Matthew stood into the cabin so every passenger could see them and performed the saftey demo. Romano was reading the instructions through the PA system in the back. After that it was time to sit on their jumpseats and wait until they were released to serve passengers.

Arthur sighed and rubbed his arm when he got a call from the back of the plane. "Here is Arthur." He put one leg on the other and looked through the cabin to the other end. "This is Romano and can you fucking believe Francis' nerve?" Suddenly another person joined the conversation. "You know I can hear you guys talking? I sit right next to you Romano! And it's not my fault you both haven't been in relationships for years!" Romano closed the curtain to the galley and so did Arthur. "Can't you keep it down! The passengers hear you." Arthur said and gritted his teeth to not spout profanities at Francis.

With a short ding sound they were released and could start their service. In the Business class, at the front of the plane, champagne was served and hot meals distributed. In economy class they served wine, beer and a little less superior hot meals. Everything was going fine until a passenger in the economy class started talking to Romano who was visibly uncomfortable. Francis decided to listen in and gasped at what he heard. He pulled Romano away into the galley and pulled the curtain close again. Romano had little tears prick at his eyes and Francis wiped them away with a tissue. "I'll call Antonio and Arthur." Francis pressed the pilot button on the PA system and got connected to both the front galley and the flight deck.

"This is Francis. We have a problem passenger on 36 delta. He insulted Romano and said his service was nothing better than a dog would serve. He also grabbed him by his arm and wouldn't let go for a while." It hit Romano hard to hear these words since when he grew up he was a waiter with his brother Feliciano in their grandmother's Italian restaurant. He was proud of his skills and criticism never sat well with him.

Soon Antonio left the flying to Berwald and stomped with Arthur to the back of the plane. Francis and Romano peeked through the little window they had and saw how angry Antonio was and how he disciplined the passenger. Arthur stood behind him with crossed arms and the most angry face. Francis told Romano that he would do anything related to the cabin for the remainer of the flight and that he should take a nap. The small Italian man did as told and Francis smiled at him. Francis went to the front galley where Arthur was still fuming. "Francis, thank you for reporting this passenger. We all know how Romano likes to keep things to himself." Francis took one of the left over business meals and started eating. "No problem. I help whenever I can."

A couple of hours went by and soon it was time for landing. Matthew and Arthur checked the cabin to see if everyone had their belts fastened and they quickly stopped by at the back. "See you later guys." Said Matthew and waved at the already sitting flight attendants. "Is everything alright again?" Arthur asked Romano who nodded in response. "Okay, see you in a minute."

The plane landed safely and soon all the passengers disembarked. Antonio and Berwald came into the front galley and stretched their muscles since they have been sitting for a long time. Now they would have to deal with jetlag.
All of them were tired. Arthur was packing his crew bag when Francis walked up behind him and cupped his ass. "Ack!" Arthur jumped forward and smacked Francis' hand away. "Just wanted to wake you up." Francis chuckled and went ahead outside the aircraft. A new awake Arthur cursed the Frenchman and exited the plane as well. They all soon parted ways except for Romano and Arthur as they were flatmates.

As soon as they arrived at their flat they showered and went to sleep.
