Happy Birthday to all Americas out there

[potatomasher]

Indeed, it is America's birthday and wishing him well may be appropriate. But... Given the current situation I am not sure how I feel about congratulating him, mundane. This is a matter of trust...

Further, your interest in spending more time with us has been noted. You may need to put some effort into that task.

This is all.

It's that time of the year again? [A bored aristocrat who has no time to take note of such things that doesn't interest him.]

Well I suppose it comes every year.

[potatomasher]

Birthdays tend to be recuring events. I shall encourage to keep track of them by using a calendar if you can't keep them in mind, Austria.

[masteraustria]

Well I suppose I can do that. But what sense is there to keep track of his birthday.

[potatomasher]

What is so strange about doing so?

[masteraustria]

The party. [aristocratic tone]

[potatomasher]

But... You celebrate your birthday as well, Austria.

[masteraustria]

It's classless though...

[unionjackoff]

So you two have gotten close, have you?

[potatomasher]

We have a couple of projects that we work on together as you know.

[unionjackoff]

[shrugs noncommittally, but not stand-offish] I suppose I knew that. I just find it strange, since I haven't heard you wish others well on their birthdays.

[potatomasher]

Is that what you are using Tempora for...?

[To find out who he is sending birthday wishes to? Now that's creepy. But fitting. He shall return to sending his mail by stork.]

[unionjackoff]

Wouldn't you like to know.

[potatomasher]

Actually, I would. This has been causing quite an uproar lately.

[unionjackoff]

Perhaps I'll tell you, if you explain to me why America is different than the rest of us. [leer?]

[Levi squints up up up at Germany, arms crossed. This guy looks very similar to some other guy he knows.]

You fucking expect muns to put effort into anything you gottanother thing coming.

[potatomasher]

[The nation shall return the look, blinking once in mild confusion.]

I don't see why they shouldn't be able to put some effort into what they're doing. If you start something, you do it right and with full potential until you finish it. That's only normal.

[springcleaning]

Tch, just like him, too.

Yeah well, these assholes don't work like that. All they're using us for is procrastination anyway.

[potatomasher]

Ah, I agree that it can appear that way... So if we want them to put some effort into our issues, it is up to us first to put some effort into convincing them to work hard. If everyone works hard, we all may benefit from it. Nothing gets achieved by idly sitting around. I am pretty sure even they understand that.

I am so sorry I missed this!

[warchangedme]

...we talked about that, Bro.

[He's not like some nations who can keep their mouths shut about spying. He is just simply never told about it.]

Don't be.

[potatomasher]

America...

[He's painfully aware of that. And you know that. He doesn't like the idea of having to question his own government either...]

[warchangedme]

[He reaches up, touching Germany's shoulder and guiding him down to his level a little so they can touch foreheads.]

Happy birthday to me, huh? Well thanks for at least not hating me.

[potatomasher]

Hnn.

[You do that a lot, don't you? This forehead-thing? He is growing strangely used to it lately.

He shall still sigh.]

I... Have yet to decide on that.

[It's a half-hearted remark. But somehow he thinks it's necessary somehow.]

[warchangedme]

[He like it! It feels more intimate than a kiss sometimes.

He answers with a soft sigh.]

I'm sorry, for what it's worth. I really just...don't want anybody to hate me yanno? Least of all you. I think we both have enough enemies right now.

[potatomasher]

That is true.

[He gives a sigh himself.]

But I don't think we can make any rush decisions as of now, America.

[warchangedme]

Mm...as always, responsibility is your middle name...

[Though America has a feeling you really don't hate him. Even with national relations to think about, it would be very easy to push him away and still stay in a fair relationship. Germany should at least understand.]

Hate makes me more ansty than...well friendship and love decisions. Try to make up your mind quickly, Ludwig!
