France had just gotten to his knees and pulled out a diamond ring when Romano spoke, cutting off the self-proclaimed Nation of love.
"What the hell is that?"
The kneeling Nation looked briefly taken aback but quickly schooled his face into a smile.
"It's a diamond ring pour toi. Romano, will you marry me?"
Rolling his eyes, Romano resisted the urge to punch the other Nation.
"Why?"
"Well, diamonds are forever. And marriage is for forever, so a diamond ring is the perfect ring to propose with," France told him, not wavering in his position at all.
Romano gave in to the urge to punch France.
"No, you bastard. I meant why do you want to marry me. Did England say no, again? You know what? Forget it!" He shouted, storming off, leaving a bleeding France behind.
"Romano! Wait!" France called, trying, and failing, to pick himself off the floor.
"Go die in a ditch, bastard!"
"Romano..." France trailed off, watching as the curl disappeared around a corner, taking the angry Italian out of his life forever (well, not as forever as a diamond. They'd probably end up seeing each other at the G8 meeting next week, actually).
"Wow, France. What is that, your sixth rejection today? Did you really think anyone would agree to marry you?" Prussia laughed, popping out of the bushes.
Suddenly clean and fresh as a daisy, France jumped up, turning to his friend. "Prussia!"
Prussia, sensing that France wasn't going to give up at six marriage proposals, laughed before fleeing. Diamonds are forever...and who wants to be stuck with someone forever?

Russia: *pops in from nowhere* France wants to be one with me, da?
Runs off too~

That was hilarious! I love Romano's reaction at the end, and the line about seeing him at the G8 meeting next week. And Prussia at the end! Oh god, I think I'm going to die from laughing too hard.

Though, according to Thermochemistry and the stability of elements, diamonds are NOT forever, since they will sooner or later end up to graphite, which is the most stable isotope of carbon. Poor France, his diamond will look like pencil lead after so many years..
