“Um—right, so here’s the thing,” he says to Canada one day, hand scratching his neck. “I really—”
“--I’ve showered! I keep showering and trying different perfumes and colognes! I even went to France and he gave me this special lotion he said would make me smell better, but I guess it’s not working because every time you’re around you keep sniffing the air and I—I--,” and Canada stops, evidently out of breath. His face goes a horrific shade of red.
“Oh,” America says. And then, “Oh.”
He tugs his brother closer and hugs him, pushes his face into Canada’s neck, right where the skin and the jacket meet. He breathes in.
“I really like the way you smell.”
Canada’s body sags in relief in his arms. “Stupid,” he says, fondly.
America laughs and pushes his nose in firmer. He lays a slight kiss on Canada’s neck, a ghost of a touch.
It’s Canada’s turn to gasp. “Oh.” -- “Ah, Amerique, may I ask—”
“—Fine! It was fine!”
“Ah oui, I figured. Judging by your limp and all.”
I come back and read this story every once in a while when I'm having a bad day. And yet it only now occurred to me to leave a comment. Silly me!
Because this is one of my //favorite// fills. It's so adorble. Like, seriously, you could do jail time for this much cuteness. The characterizations are perfect and make me love the characters even more. The banter, and the awkward broness, and the awkward coupleiness (and the hint at geographic pairing, ohonhonhon), are just so endearing. I just love it all.
If you come back and notice this comment, author!anon, please share some other fills you've made so I can get more of your wonderful writing! :3
