senses someone's close and turns around, staring. He knew he knew that person... still... who was him again?

frowns and takes a step back. "Uh... yes?"

blushes. "What the..." flails and takes a few more steps back, falling into the water.

swims to the surface and moves back to the pier, staring at him, confused. "What did you call me?"

nods, nods. "Ja, I'm okay, I think..."

blushes and hugs himself protectively. "Erm... No, thanks. I'm fine... uh... Canada, right?"

squeaks and takes a step back, almost falling on the water again, but managing not to. "N-No! Thanks. I'm fine. It'll dry soon."

glares, still blushing, and punches upside the head. "Hands off!"

*him

stares. Blinks. "Korea?" is super confused.

"Oh." stares and puts a hand on his head. "I'm... sorry. What the fuck is going on?"

chuckles. "You are." nods, nods. "How did this..." frowns. "This is disturbing."

nods. "I see... And how are you feeling?" tugs his arm, guiding him to the boat.

shakes his head. "Wait here while I change, okay?" gets inside the cabin.

gets back outside a few seconds later, in dry clothes. "So, does Japan know about this already?"

facepalms. "Oh my..."

chuckles a little. "Isn't he going to be mad?" wanders around the boat, packing up some stuff.

shrugs. "It's his body, after all..."

can't help but laugh. "Oh, Yong Soo... you're amusing."

blushes and looks away. "I'm not!"

blushes more and covers his face. "Stop it! You're just trying to embarrass me because I hit you."

mumbles something and hugs him back. "Riiight, riiight..."

pulls back a little. "I'm... great. Just fine, couldn't be better."

"I am!" turns to face the sea. "I am."

nods a little. "I'm better than I thought I would be. I just... I think things will just sink in when I finally see him with someone else."

nods. "Takk, Korea." grins a little a runs a finger where the wedding band used to be. "I think I'll be just fine."

nods at him. "Okay." sighs. "I'll sell this boat."

"Reminds of those... times." frowns.

runs his fingers through the old wood, eyes filled with tears as he takes a deep breath, not letting them fall. "Ja..."

blinks, surprised at first. But then, hugs him back, trying not to cry, he promised himself he wouldn't. "Hey... stop."

"There, there..." dries his face. "I'm trying to convince myself it was for the best. I couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't working."

nods. "Terribly."

sighs. "Lots of things. I don't like how close he is to Sweden lately, he spends more time with him than with me." bites his lip. "He_

didn't seem to care lately, about me or anything. We always fought and always promised to tell each other everything, and then, he'd_

rather keep things from me. His economy broke, and I was the last to know, because he told everyone but me. I just got the news when_

I got home and had to pack, 'cause he couldn't even keep the house. Also, he was always making jokes about having sex with other people,_

offering himself around,even if it was just a joke, it hurt." frowns. "I'm possessive, he always knew that. He knows me better than anyone."

nods. "It hurt all the time. Now, if I keep myself busy, I kind of keep from thinking. But... it's been centuries. I've loved him for_

centuries, but it's not meant to be. We already tried, it didn't work, it was obvious it wouldn't work again."

sniffles. "Not really. Sex worked. And that's it."

"I think... time will make it okay. I've been okay before." tries a small smile.

grins. "Thank you, Korea."

pats his head. "Thanks for listening."

"Count on me, for whatever you need, okay?" pats the side of the boat. "Time to sell this thing.

shrugs. "I need to sell this... sink it... something like that."

for a little and nods. "Sounds good."

nods nods. "It's an awesome idea."

chuckles. "Sure."

nods and follows him. "We'll need lots!"

nods. "Where can we get them?"

"Okay!" starts running and taking him along, leading them to his car.

gets in the car, waiting for him.

sets the GPS and starts to drive towards Hong Kong's house

"So, how does it feel?"

chuckles.

"You're actually having fun, aren't you?"

shakes his head, laughing as he follows the GPS instructions.

"Not really..."

"I think it's funny. You should give Matthew a tattoo..."

nods. "A butterfly."

nods nods. "Indeed!"

"Almost! After this, we're getting you a tattoo." smirks

smiiiiirks. "Let's make a fake one, jst to scare him, then."

"Good!" looks around. "I think we're here..."
