opens the door, still wearing the nurse dress. "Oh... hey, come in!"

raises an eyebrow at the nurses' dress, walking in.

"Don't ask. Denmark-era thing." looks at her hands. "Ice cream and beer? Marry me."

nods in understanding. "Ah." She giggles. "Take me out to dinner first, then we'll think about marriage." She winks.

"After the beer and ice cream."

laughs. "Deal."

"Take a sit!" points the comfortable couch

sits on the couch, placing the beer and ice cream on the table in front of it, before spreading out on the couch.

brings two spoons and hands her one

takes one, and grabs a tub of ice cream, happily.

grabs herself one and sits by her side. "So... any news?"

shrugs. "Not much...I kinda made Germania upset at me, but I think everything's alright now...how about you?"

shrugs. "Life sucks"

nods in agreement, taking a beer from the table and holding it up. "To life's suckish tendencies."

"Cheers!"

clinks their drinks together, taking a large sip. "...So, what's up between you and Dinnah?"

"Nothing. We broke up." shrugs, looking at the tv.

rolls her eyes. "I know *that*"

"Then what did you mean?"

shrugs. "I dunno. At the bar, you guys were all..." She waves her arms around, unable to put what she means into words.

"a-all...w-what?" looks at her, trying to understand

frowns. "All....looking at each other and singing to each other and stuff...."

looks down. "That doesn't change anything, does it?"

shrugs. "No, it just seemed like you two were still together or something."

"We... we're not. Blame it on the alcohol..." says quietly

nods. "I know you aren't. And I don't think alcohol was the *only* reason..."

sips her drink "It's not what you think."

raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?"

frowns and looks at her. "Yeah."

keeps an eyebrow raised, waiting for her to explain.

"We're... close. That's... that's it. Just... we're close." shrugs

if Nora *wants* to get back together with Dinnah?

won't say it out loud, is trying to block this thought.

why Nora is going through all this trouble, if she wants to get back together with Dinnah?

she put up with Dinnah's shit too much already, and is tired, and actually wants a relationship that will go somewhere.

that makes sense. "...but, there must have been *something* that kept you two together for so long..."

glares at her. "Okay, you want to hear it, I'll say it. But please, please, stop making me think about it." sighs. "I love Denmark."

nods, turning her gaze to the television. "...Denmark loves you too, you know."

"And this is the biggest lie ever told." looks at the ice cream.

shakes her head. "No it's not."

"It is." just... leaves the beer aside and grabs the ice cream. "No, seriously... Denmark's never willing to change."

nods. "Sure, he won't change. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love you."

"He... she... hurts me all the time and doesn't even care. How can that be love?"

supposes Dinnah has a different way of showing it....?

that maybe. And maybe Dinnah should find someone who can't take that.

frowns, but nods, not knowing what all else to say...

mutters, "...but she *does* care about you, though."

"And what should I do?"

shrugs. "I don't know. I'm not good at all this romance stuff. But I do know that she cares about you and you care about her."

"She asked me back... I said 'no'." sniffs takes a spoon of ice cream

....because she kissed Ed, right?"

"That too."

what else...?

"She dumped me first, 'cause I'm a girl now." plays with the ice cream. "And she doesn't like girls."

frowns. "That's dumb. You're still you even if you're a girl."

shrugs.

frowns, shaking her head, thinking Nora might be right in breaking up with Dinnah...

if she's doing the right thing, and if she is, why does it hurt

doesn't know....she doesn't know a think about romance.

how she's doing with Germania...

glances away. "W-We're fine..."

"Really?" frowns

nods. "C-Course. Why wouldn't we be?"

"I don't know. You know you can tell me things..."

snorts. "You hate me."

"Yes. But that doesn't mean I can't keep secrets." shrugs.

grabs her tub of ice cream, taking a bite, keeping quiet.

"You screwed up, didn't you?" asks, concerned.

No, no, I...

"... did."

shakes her head wildly, trying to convince Nora otherwise. "No! No, I didn't!"

"Did she?" asks, curious

shakes her head at a more normal rate this time. "No, no, Germania wouldn't cheat on me."

raises her eyebrows. "And why did you cheat on her, then?" trying to make her fall in a trap. Doesn't even know if she did.

flinches, but tries to cover it up. "I-I...I didn't!"

shrugs. "If you don't wanna tell me, that's fine, then."

stutters a bit, not knowing what to do.

"You did, didn't you?" sighs.

I...not on purpose!

"Drunk? With who?"

simply nods.

afraid of the answer. "W-with who?"

glances away, muttering something.

"wha...?"

I-I was Al at the time, and-and...

in shock. "You cheated while being Alfred?" is amused.

nods, taking another bite of ice cream miserably.

"With who?"

mutters something again, the only comprehensible word being 'land.

...shrieks. "ICELAND?"

her a horrified look. "NO!"

ready to call Iceland, but stops. "Sealand?"

looks even more horrified. "I'm not a pedophile!"

looks at her, thinking. "Oh... Scotland."

nods.

stares. Stares a bit more. And more. "Want me to kill that perv?"

sighs, massaging her temples. "No, no...we were both drunk...."

"Still... want me to kill him?"

"Don't tempt me."

"He won't even know why, or what hit him..."

sighs, taking another bite of ice cream miserably.

waits an answer

sighs again. "I...I dunno..."

eats ice cream

sniffs. "Please...Don't-don't tell anyone, okay? Especially Germaniana..."

"I won't."

nods, curious as to why Nora's not upset by this...

doesn't believe in honest people anymore.

bites her lip, explaining. "It-It was...I-I was Al, and Scotland decided to take pictures to make Al and England mad and it wasn't supposed

to...I didn't mean to..."

"But you did. And this is bad enough. I doesn't matter if you meant it or not, if you liked it or not. You did it anyway."

looks down, suddenly holding back tears. "B-But...I-I didn't mean...It wasn't..." sniffs.

"You did it. That makes you a horrible person. If she finds out, she'll never be able to trust you again. Ever."

shoots her a glare. "I know I'm a horrible person, you don't have to tell me! And I *know* Germaniana won't trust me--that's why I didn't

*tell* her!"

shrugs. "I don't know... do you regret it?"

nods. "Yes!"

"Good."

looks at her, eyes a bit wide, breathing hitched to hold back the tears.

sighs. "Come on, she'll never know..."

nods. "I...yeah, okay."

"Want a hug?"

bites at her lower lip, nodding a little.

hugs her close. =/

clings to her, burying her face in her shoulder. "I...I didn't mean to! It was a mistake...''

"Shhh. Calm down. You love her, and respect her, and will never do this again, right? So... don't tell her and let it be in the past."

nods, sniffling.

pats her back, trying to calm her down

squeezes her eyes shut. "...sorry..."

"For...?"

clings a bit tighter, giving a choked laugh. "Everything."

"...I don't get it..."

F-For...for cryin' on ya, for cheating, for being such a horrible person...

"oh... calma down, it's ok..."

"No it's not..."

"It iiiis!"

sighs, but doesn't answer.

"Just forget this ever happened.. okay? You'll feel better once you forgive yourself..."

doesn't think she *can* forgive herself.

she should

she doesn't deserve forgiveness.
