★ Eight - Wake up Little Susie

[redwhiteandhero]

A] 1445 Mitchell Road - Morning

[Ahhh, what a lovely sunny day in Mayfield! Assuming all that other mess is done with. America feels exceptionally well-rested today!

He puts on his bathrobe and slippers and heads downstairs to pick up the newspaper off the front porch before starting on breakfast, and-- wait.

July 23rd?]

I missed my birthday!?

B] Neutron Diner - Afternoon

[Bummed out about apparently misplacing three weeks somewhere, including the most important day of the year, America has helped himself to a very large ice cream sundae and is eating it all by himself.]

[vytis]

Er--Big news?

[Lithuania can't help but flush faintly because he is pretty sure he knows what America's talking about. He is just trying to decide who it was that told him.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Got yourself a cute little girlfriend?

[vytis]

[And now he's really red. He can't help but smile, though, in spite of his awkwardness in talking about this subject.] Y-yes, I suppose I did.

[redwhiteandhero]

[You get a slap on the back. And yes he does have his America-strength back.]

Congrats, buddy!

[vytis]

[Stumbling! Quite a bit. He catches himself before he falls over entirely, though.]

A-ah! Um, thank you, America.

[For all he sounds sheepish and awkward he is kind of grinning in spite of his tone.]

[redwhiteandhero]

So you guys lucked out, getting this place to act like you're a couple for real, huh?

[vytis]

Well... Even if it is just because of Mayfield, it is--kind of fun. [No he can't stop smiling. This is another of those instances where he's acting his apparent age--this time playing the lovesick nineteen-year-old role.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Eh? Eh?

[vytis]

It's not that I really like it here but with her--I mean she's just really-- [He can't help but fluster even as he starts getting kind of sappy.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Really?

1/3

[vytis]

Really--

[vytis]

...Ah--

[vytis]

D-don't imply anything strange!

[redwhiteandhero]

It ain't strange if you're married.

[vytis]

We're not really married! America!

[redwhiteandhero]

Well that's between you and God, ain't it?

[vytis]

[Just

burying his face in his hand and mumbling in Lithuanian, don't mind him.]

W-we haven't done--anything!

[redwhiteandhero]

Alright alright, if you say so.

[vytis]

You're nearly as bad as Poland is about this, you know. [Still incredibly flustered. The fact that he is so easily worked up is probably why he's teased so much, to be honest.]

[redwhiteandhero]

No way, I'm better.

[vytis]

...Do you really want to be better at something like this...?

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm better at everything.

[vytis]

I'm sure he'd be happy to start an argument with you about that.

[Lithuania can't help but glance around as if he expects Poland to pop out from under one of the tables and do just that.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Anyhow, she's cute. You picked a good one.
