PICK ME

TACKLES LIKE IT'S 2009

[plumblossom]

[ Sen is taller than Mei, but that doesn't stop Taiwan from doing this. She sneaks up to her like a cat, making absolutely sure that each step doesn't make a sound, and when she's close enough? She places a hand on Vietnam's shoulder and raises a finger for her cheek to press onto. It's the perfect trap. ] Hi, Vietnam! You look cute today! [ It's totally not like Taiwan hasn't seen her in forever? They're in another universe, which means it's just another Tuesday. Normal Hetalia things. ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TEN YEARS.

[hoasen]

[Meanwhile, someone is completely oblivious to Taiwan's sneaking. After all, she's focused on...actually what was she looking at?

Which means she fell for that trap and there is a finger on her cheek.]

Taiwan--? Ah?

[She's looking around because WHAT DOES SHE MEAN.]

No, I mean I may have purchased that new lipstick that I found in your magazine, but otherwise, I haven't done anything new. I need to learn more from you!

[YEAH JUST HETALIA THINGS never mind that someone literally was walking a human on the other side there with a leash.]

1/2

[plumblossom]

[ HAH SHE FELL FOR IT. TWO POINTS FOR TAIWAN. But after her smug smirk of victory, she taps her chin as she looks at Vietnam closely. ] Hohoh! I see, I see. The lipstick was the secret to your success. Have you tried the lip and cheek cream by Canmake? It'll make you super kawaii! [ i die every time i type this ]

IT'S THE BIGGEST REUNION OF THE DECADE

[plumblossom]

[ ... It's cute that Vietnam is listening to her advice. She laughs. She can't help it! She always knew that Vietnam was worried about that sort of thing. ] You're already cute, Vietnam. I'm just glad I was able to help! I can see that you've been working really hard. Did something good happen? [ totally ignoring the people on leashes yep ]

TEN YEAR PARTY. IT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR KARAOKE

[hoasen]

[Taiwan is a pro at this, she is maximum cute. Of course she'll listen to her! TEACH HER EVERYTHING, TRUE TEACHER.]

I still have such a long way to go! [But it's true that maybe some people are convincing her that she's pretty cute. Taiwan, be proud of your protege.] But I don't think anything good has happened other than the lipstick was on sale.

[And ignore the bicycle. If you get me.]

10 HOUR KARAOKE FUCK YEAHHHHHH

[plumblossom]

But you bought the lipstick and used it! Back then, you'd only look at it from a distance and move on. I think you're really getting there. [ This is how the Taiwan magic works. First she makes you feel really good about something, then she drags you around to do her bidding again. ] Um, I have a question, though... Should I be riding you as a bicycle too?

DRAW A CIRCLE--wait

[hoasen]

[Somehow half my tag disappeared before what a failure.]

You're right...I wouldn't have given in to a fifty percent discount. I guess I'm really getting stronger! But next time we need to buy the gift bags after the sales.

[What the fuck.

Also.]

.........Why?

they never did give Viet a character song. I'm mad

[plumblossom]

[Taiwan also laughs nervously, because what the fuck.]

Isn't that what everyone else is doing? I don't really want to do it, though...

same, please give her a sweet as voice too wow

[hoasen]

[It's so disturbing and frankly, looks like it's bad for the back and knees.]

It is but...[She looks away, distressed since--]

How does that logically work? How they're peddling their partner along...?

[plumblossom]

Um, it looks difficult to begin with, so I don't think they get very far. [ She says the next sentence with some difficulty. ] Maybe it's one of those "power play" things? Is this what you've been up to?

[concerns]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE WRITING SO I'LL LEAVE THIS HERE INSTEAD

SLAMS

[plumblossom]

[ Duplicity is kind of a weird place. ... Okay, maybe 'kind of' is a nice way to put it. She doesn't think she likes this system at all, but moping about it all the time isn't going to get her anywhere. First, she should find a job. Vietnam advised her to look into a certain cafe, so Taiwan wastes no time. She isn't sure how she can navigate this place with a crappy signal on her GPS, though... She should ask. Immediately, Taiwan flags down the first person she sees.] Um... excuse me? I'm looking for a cafe called PECS. [ An apologetic smile. ] Sorry, I know it's weird! But if you know where it is, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me.

O-OH///

[concerns]

Weird? Not at all!

[ There's a little laugh from Gran, can't help but to think about his friends right now. PECS is run by them after all. Anyway, he's seen weirder (team soiya to name one), so he really doesn't think it's that strange. He's quite fond of PECS by now, especially considering who owns it. So he's happy someone seems to be interested to go there. ]

Coincidentally, I'm about to head there myself. Let's go.

[ That's a lie, but he chose to say it that way so the girl wouldn't feel bad about him accompanying her. Besides, he wouldn't pass up a chance to visit his friends again. So why not?

Also, she's cute. How does he say no to more time with cute people? That's right, he can't. ]

[plumblossom]

[ His thirsty ass can't stop himself, that's why.

Jokes aside, his reply delights Taiwan, who's taken to walking right by his side. Traveling with someone is better than wandering this city alone. She can take care of herself, of course, but she's not worried about her safety so much as she is her company. Being alone is one thing, but being lonely is another. ]

Ahaha! So you're into that sort of thing too, huh? My sister says the waiters are real ikemen!

[baozi]

[ Yeah let's finally do this. ]

YESSSSSSS MY DREAMS

[plumblossom]

[ Lunar New Year means busy shops, busy airports, busy streets. Taiwan made her preparations in advance, but nationwide events aside, there's not much to do when no one else will be visiting her own home. And by home, she doesn't mean this island, no. She means her small condominium in the heart of Taipei, or her small rest house up in the mountains. Maybe she should pay Vietnam a visit? Pretend to be a distant relative and invite herself to each home? Her heart sinks again, and maybe this is what China means when she says she is still young.

But the doorbell rings, and her heart soars. She scrambles to greet her unexpected visitor— ]

Oh!

[ Her eyes light up. ]

Hong Kong! You've grown so tall! [ they literally saw each other last week ] Oh, I'm so happy...

[ She gasps. ]

Aiya, but the place is still a mess. I didn't think anyone was coming over.

[ Still, she shakes her head and takes him by the hand, only to start pushing his back and leading him into the living room. ]

Come in, come in! Have you eaten yet? What would you like to drink? [ She bounces on her feet. ] Ahaha, yay! Hong Kong is here!

[baozi]

[ Letting that "You've grown so tall" comment slide, it's kind of cute how excited Taiwan is just because he's dropping by.

Too bad he's going to rain on her parade in a few seconds. ]

Of course, I'd come to visit. Gung hay fat choy. Where is my red envelope?

[ Hong Kong even has the nerve to extend a hand out as if expecting to give it to him. Whether she does give him something or not, his hand then claps against hers in a low-five gesture. ]

Just kidding, Happy New Year.

[plumblossom]

Hey! [ But he says it's a joke, and he's always like this, so she laughs along. ] Happy New Year. Macau came over earlier, so he took all my red envelopes before you got here! [ this is false ]

[baozi]

[ He easily catches that white lie since Taiwan did mention not expecting any guests to come. He can keep playing along. ]

Heeeh? Really?

[ If anybody is going to do the teasing, it'll be him. ]

Maybe I should fly over to Macau's place this year and treat him to my surprise instead.

[plumblossom]

Huh?

[The door shuts behind her. Her smile crumbles as he crushes her hopes and dreams. Hong Kong, you monster.]

Wait! What surprise? [ She grabs hold of his shoulders and shakes him. ] Hong Kong, um, I still have a lot left over! I gave you the biggest share, I promise! Hong Kong? Hong Kong, tell meeeee.

[baozi]

[ Please have better dreams.

To his credit, he's not a total monster. He could have kept teasing her, but he's kind of weak to that face. Just a little. So after a brief shakedown, he gives in. ]

Alright, alright. I'll save something for you, too. But you have to wait until tonight.

[ That means he's staying over at her place for the whole day. ]

[plumblossom]

[It's fine. The color in her eyes comes back as soon as he says the magic words.]

Then that means... [ The whole day! She leaps forward to catch him in a tight hug and rubs her cheek all over his own. ] Aww, you do care! You're so cute. You've grown so handsome, but you're still so cute! Ooh, I could just eat you up...
