day 2 prompt: mutual pining for @nedcan‘s #nedcanweek2020

day 4 prompt: long distance relationship for @nedcan‘s #nedcanweek2020.

When man can’t write his lady a letter because his pet rabbit keeps eating said letter, man has got no other choice than make a surprise visit.

The European nation stared at the man in front of him, surely the human lost his mind during their months spend out on sea. Netherlands had easily accepted that this man would in charge of the mission because he had seemed very capable of the job.

He’d been a good leader during the time it had taken to travel all the way to this foreign nation. Had done an impressive job during the first interactions with the other nations’ local bosses with the aid of some translators.

While trading with other countries and helping his people get the best deals out of these trades, Netherlands discovered he had a talent for learning the languages of other nations. No surprise, he was asked to learn this new language.

It should have been suspicious when he was told explicitly to learn to write and read as well.

Now he knew why. This language had several writing systems and they got mixed up. How was he supposed to learn this Japanese?

During this argument with his boss, his new teacher softly walked into the room with her head down.

As soon as Netherlands saw her, he knew he loved Japan and her language.

==============================================================

Nedpan with prompt language.

Johan van Rijn had learned Amelia L. Jones was many things. One of those was that she was very persistent when she wanted something and what she wanted now was to eat at this new place of some fast food chain popular with her people.

There had been no reason to decline and he was happy to go there with her, if it would make her happy.

He found a reason to not be fond of the place soon enough. Making their way to an unoccupied table, he noticed the amount of food on people’s plates, specifically the size of all that food.

After finding a table, America ordered them something to drink for both of them. Again, he took notice of the size.

Amelia happily told him that he could get refills for free, which made a small smile appear on his lips. He was well known for his love of getting things for free, but now he smiled because it made his girl happy to get him something he loved.

Still, between the drinks and food, he couldn’t help but her. “Are the servings here always this enormous?”

She sure looked angry.

Oh boy.

He shouldn’t have asked.

Embarrassment

“You’re really doing this to me. I can’t believe you’re actually doing this.” Henri grumbled at his big brother before taking a more accusing tone of voice to add “I trusted you.”

Said older brother seemed to pay no more attention to him than he did to any of Henri’s bosses as he continued to drag the younger man out of his office and away from his work. There was so much work that needed attention!

Not that he dared to look at his own bosses for help, he was so embarrassed that they saw him like this. Pulled out of his office and soon out of the building entirely while clutching a single file of paperwork to his chest. He was completely certain they had been able to listen to the brothers argue in his private office before Ned had slammed that door open and forced the smaller nation out.

“Johan,” he tried again, “I told you how much work I have left to do. I’m sorry I don’t have time to come to the party, you know I’ll really try to be there next time.” The only thing that earned him was Johan quickening his pace.

As soon as they were out of sight, the taller man turned around. “You should thank me, Lux. Emma wanted to drag you out of here herself.”

A brief silence followed. “Think about that.”

He did.

He knew what that would have meant. Childhood stories.

“Thank you.” Still clutching that one file.

(prompt history @nedcanweek)

Headcanon about nations with a goverment in exile. They don't flee with them, instead they stay with their people.

Couldn't decide between the different light tones. The second one is like an old, faded version of the first one.

Somehow @nedcanweek's prompt highschool/college au turned into a grease crossover. I don't know what happend.

@hwsrarepairweek2022 & @nedcanweek

(didn't get past the sketching stage for the nedcan event, so here it is for the rare pair event.)

He was not about to run to his older siblings, he refused to. Henri was his own independent person. A few strange noises in some foreign hotel would not scare him. So what if the building was old. At his age, not that many buildings were older than him.

There had been that odd feeling about this recently renovated hotel that had him feeling off since the moment stepped inside of it and that feeling had only grown stronger the longer he remained there. Almost succeeding in falling asleep, the small nation was quickly awakened by a sharp and loud noise.

Sitting upright nearly immediately, the blond turned on the light but saw nothing in his room. Hearing the sound again yet seeing nothing, he threw the blanket off of himself. The only things he grabbed on his way out were his phone and his key card.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Making his way down the hall quickly, mainly to put distance between himself and his room, he found himself in front of his sister’s door. He didn’t want to knock and wake up Emma up in the middle of the night because he heard some noises in his room, but he couldn’t wander the hall all night in his pyjamas and he certainly wasn’t going back to that room alone.

So he knocked on the door. There was no reaction and he knocked again, harder this time. Believing the sound had gone unnoticed by his sleeping sister, he was about to knock on the door again just as Emma opened the door. “What’s wrong? Why are you still awake?” she asked him, not sounding like she had been sleeping at all.

Against his better judgment, still standing out in the hall, he blurted out “I can’t stand the sounds in my room.” His sister nodded in understanding and stepped aside to let him into her room.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Once inside he noticed some Halloween movie was playing on the television and how loud the volume was. No wonder his sister hadn’t opened the door sooner. Emma was already settled on the couch the room offered, where she had obviously been sitting before. She was eating some popcorn and held out the bowl to him, while staring straight at the screen and clearly doing her best to ignore all the small sounds that could be heard in the room.

Not knowing what else to do, he took some of the popcorn and turned the sound up just a little more.

Neither mentioned it, until they heard an unearthly noise. Emma grabbed hold of her little brother and they ran out of her room and towards their big brother’s room, a floor above theirs and on the other side of the hotel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The rapid and urgent sounding knocking on his door roused him from his well earned sleep. He tried to ignore it but the noise wouldn’t allow him to fall asleep again. Throwing the covers of him he walked to the door of his hotel room and threw it wide open.

Ready to throw insults at however was disturbing his sleep, he saw his brother and sister huddled together. Seeing the fear on their faces he quickly ushered them inside. “What happened?” He asked as he shut the door.

“You’re not going to like this answer.” Emma said silently while Henri looked at him with those begging, hopeful eyes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

She was right and he didn’t like their answer. They had awoken him because they were scared of the noises. They were grown, independent nations. Their fear of some noises should have annoyed him, instead the look on their faces had worried him. There simply were a lot of noises in this building. It might have been renovated recently, but it seemed it hadn’t been the greatest renovating.

That is how the Benelux siblings had somehow ended up trying to sleep in one bed. It was a large bed, but it wasn’t easy to fit all of them on it.

So he held both of his siblings close and waited for them to fall asleep, before going back to sleep himself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A sudden and loud knocking that seemed to come from the room’s ceiling startled all of them awake. Their frightened looks angered him and he stormed to his door and threw it open.

No one.

Stepping out of his room he looked around the hallway but still didn’t see anyone and with the layout of this place they couldn’t have been fast enough to be out of sight already. Alright, so no one had been knocking on his door. Going back inside, he picked up the phone to make the hotel staff get whoever had the room above him stay quiet.

He would have walked up there himself, but he didn’t want to leave Emma and Henri alone. Also, the woman minding the phone had told him he would have been standing in front of the door to an empty room.

Empty room. No one staying there. Okay. He wasn’t going to share that information.

He went back to bed and waited for them to fall asleep again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Loud noises coming from the wall nearest to the bed woke them all up. He was about to stalk off to the room next door before remembering the was a closet next to his room. How could he forget, he had a friendly conversation with the lady from room cleaning while she had collected some things from that exact closet.

Silencing the hushed whispers of his siblings, he got out of bed and walked over to the desk and wrote down something on a piece of paper.

Opening his door, he stuck the note on the other side and shut the door again.

Once back in the bed he gathered his family in his arms and told them to go back to sleep, leaving no room for arguments.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Next morning found Henri smiling at his brother after he showed him the sign.

Next morning found Emma sighing at him after she read what he had written down.

“Really Johan, you told whatever was making that noise it had to pay toll before getting inside your room?”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Prompt "I thought I heard something." for @hetaween-event-2022 with the Benelux siblings.

Hetalia Social Experiment

I just want to see what’ll happen. So all Hetalia fans, just reblog this and tag your top three favorite characters.

Prompts Literature (day 1) and Historical (day 2) for @nedcanweek.

Canon: Ned likes romantic poems.

So Ned tries to write that and sends them to Can, who always replies.

Of course, Ned's attempt at being romantic is like : "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Probably did considering the enemy was firing at you."

Canada had known the Netherlands for a long time now.

From the days Madeline was still overprotected by either France or Britain and both had told her Holland was this scary monster figure lurking in the shadows.

Their bedtime stories had frightened her then but the only thing she truly remembered about the other European nation was the scar that had caught her attention at some fancy party, even though both Francis and Arthur had taught her not to stare.

She only really got to know him long after that time, during his time of need. The actual man, not the shadow monster. His royal family fled to the relative safety of Arthur’s island and then some of them found their temporary home in her country.

Their stories about their nation painted a whole other picture about the man and he seemed nothing like the boogeyman she was afraid of as a child.

It made her want to learn more about the man, his people and the lands within the borders of that small piece of Europe.

Maddie got to do that when her own people were send to liberate his country. She had seen plenty of fighting by then, but she finally got to meet him for real. Not as just some childish colony that was introduced during a formal event and ignored afterwards.

The man didn’t look like a monster. He been so pale and thin when they met and her gaze had been drawn to that scar above his eye. Back then he had been a man losing his believe in a good ending and had it showed.

The Canadian had known right away that she couldn’t stand that look on his face. For some reason she felt like the man before her should always be happy, there had been something about the way he looked at her and didn’t once mistake her for her sister that made her feel special.

After the war, they became close friends quickly. Johan send her tulips bulbs and continued to send them to her, actually he never stopped. At some point he started to send her letters as well and maybe because she answered all of them, he started writing her more often.

They had fallen in love long before they even noticed their feelings were far more than friendship and had loved each other ever since.

By now Madeline knew all of Johan’s scars. The ones he got during the war and the ones that are much older, even older then she was. The scars more recent.

Johan knew all of Madeline’s scars. From her fight to liberate him, the scars from the war before that one and scars with all kinds of origin stories.

The only scar of they hadn’t spoken about, explained or gently touched was that one scar above his eye.

He took her hand and pulled her close against him. He leaned in and whispered his story to her, and only for her to hear.

Day 5 prompt meeting the family for @hetalia-rarepairweek 2023.

Ned's asking her if they really have to do this. He knows her family! He's done bussiness with them, been at war with them, he even discovered one of them. Really, he knows them. She just wants to make their relationship official, meeting the family and everything.

The saddest cinderella story

The oldest of them knew what was happening the moment the sound of the front door slamming shut on the far side of the house reached his ears. It immediately woke up the boy who, having learned to sleep lightly just in case, got out of his bed right away. Holding onto his blanket, he only grabbed the torchlight off his nightstand and the book he always kept besides his bed.

As he left his room, the boy could hear the voices getting louder and he quickly ran to Emma’s room. He was by her bedside in an instant and dropped the items he was holding, so that he could shake her awake. When the girl slowly opened her eyes and saw her big brother, she wanted to ask him why he was in her room. Yet the moment she noticed his expression, the young girl knew things were bad.

“Go get Henri and get him back here.” The older boy ordered as he began dragging some of the furniture in his only sister’s room around. He took the blanket of her bed and laid it down on the ground as well as the pillows that had been on her bed. Then, just as the girl returned to her room with a small boy, Johan threw the blanket that he had taken with him over the rearranged furniture creating a small tent.

He motioned for them to get inside of the small sanctuary as they could hear the voices getting louder and angrier. He closed the door as quickly as he dared so that the sound of the door moving wouldn’t be noticed.

Then he crawled into the tent he just made, taking the book and the torch light as he took his spot between his younger siblings. Turning on the light, he opened the book and began reading from Cinderella. Tonight they would be safe.

He stayed silent for a moment as the bedroom door began to open, but them started speaking in a hushed voice. The oldest of the siblings had learned that despite the light and some soft spoken words, the angry voice would not disturb the pillow fort they were hiding in.

Maybe he would have to face the consequences of hiding away, but for now all of them were safe as he kept telling the story of Cinderella, the girl that had to work hard  and never got anything in return until she did.

He told them how a fairy godmother and a prince charming would rescue them. How he would make sure someone would come for them and get them out of here.

Even if that someone would have to be Johan himself one day.

Even if he would have to leave alone because fairytales weren’t real and his siblings would no longer listen to him when he didn’t have a pillow fort anymore and it wasn’t a magical pumpkin carriage he was leaving in.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

Day 4 prompt fairytales for @hetaween-event

He rubbed his injured shoulder gently as he slowly made his way to the sickbay. The injury itself was the result of the latest away mission but what Johan was really worried about was Madeline’s reaction when she saw him walk into her workspace.

When he had told her he would be part of the team that was going down to the planet for further investigation since the computers had had trouble determining if the planet was really an M-class or an similar class, she had been angry with him.

She had acted like she wasn’t upset and even behaved as if she didn’t care, which was usually how you could tell that Madeline was angry. It was also why the red shirt hadn’t told her that he had actually volunteered to be on the away team. If he had, he might have ended up in sickbay before the mission instead of afterwards.

Maybe it had been a little too soon after his last trip to a planet’s surface. They had lost two security members and Johan’s own injuries had just fully healed.

As he walked inside he noticed Carlos was to doctor on duty, which was bad for him. As far as doctors went, the man was laid back enough but he would tell Maddie that he was there so there was no chance of being lucky enough to slip inside and be out of there before she noticed him.

Surely enough, the moment Carlos saw him the man smiled at him and welcomed him back on board.

“What’s the injury this time then?” When he explained to the doctor it was simply a painful shoulder after falling against a large piece of rock, he was told to sit down on a biobed while the doctor went to fetch one of the nurses to take care of his injury Johan sighed. Why could he not just say he was going to get Maddie, they both knew he wouldn’t send any of the other nurses to take care of the tall Dutchman.

“What happened!?” Maddie looked angry all right.

“It’s nothing really.”

“Yeah, that’s why you’re here. Again.” The blonde said as she crossed her arms.

“It isn’t like last time…” he started, hoping to reassure her that he wasn’t that badly injured. Last mission had been bad, awful actually, but he didn’t get the chance as she roughly stabbed him with a hypospray. “Against the pain.” She told him in a clipped tone. “You’re sure about that?” She stared at him angrily before inflating and looking back at her scanner as she continued the check him for other injuries.

Johan touched her face and calmly made her look at him. “I was.. I am worried about you. Every time, your job is so dangerous and you always come back hurt. Last time it was so bad, do you even understand how much work it took the keep you alive or how worried Emma and Heni were? Johan...” her voice was so soft and small that it hurt worse than his shoulder.

“I’m fine this time.”

“And next time?” Johan had no answer to give her.

“Why are you still stuck with security anyway. You’re an engineer and you’re good at that. Did you get those degrees of yours for nothing? And all those extra courses you took?”

And she really had a good point there. He was a very good engineer and there was a lot he could do for a starship like this. It had always been his plan to get into the engineering department of a ship, but he had only been able to find a job in security instead right after graduating and he had discovered he liked the work of a security officer as well even though tended to be dangerous work.

But now he had found Madeline and he hated the idea of her always being worried and stressed because of his work.

“I’m going to ask for a department transfer.” Before he was finished speaking, he heard the scanner fall on the ground and Maddie was hugging him tightly. “But only if it’s on this ship. I’m staying right here with you.” He felt her nod against his good shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her.

“Maddie, why are you still a nurse while you could be a doctor?”

The Canadian woman looked up at him. “Because I like being a nurse and I don’t have the degrees I need to be a doctor.” Johan smiled a small smile at her. “You should look into that.”

“I don’t know, what if I’m not good enough..”

“You are. Look into it.”

“Okay, I will.”
