(America POV)

People say breakfast is the most important meal in the day.

But at this point, I don't even know what breakfast is.

I sighed as I finished dressing up, skip breakfast, and head to work. "Bye Japa!" I say to the cute (no hetero) neko lying on the couch and watching 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime'...

Again.

"By the way... can't you watch some other Isekai? This is the 4th time you've rewatched it..." I sighed as I saw her pout and flatten her cat ears.

"But its a good anime?-"

"Its not that it's a bad ani- you know what, Imma just leave now," I said as I opened the door and groggily stumbled out. I could faintly hear her greet me goodbye in Japanese, but I can't stop to look back.

If I get late again, my manager won't give me treats after work...

And that's the most evilest thing she could do to me.

---

"No treats today, America."

"WHAT?!- Ok, I come a SECOND LATE and NOW YOU-"

"That's enough, Ame," said my co-artist for this song, South Korea. Both he and my manager, Ukraine, sighed in discontent.

"We should start recording now, so we can still do the final edits in time," Uki said as she shook her head. I sigh as I know exactly what she means.

Record holders are usually the strictest due to their demand to make songs within the deadline. The last time I didn't make a song in time, we had to cancel an entire tour due to it being one of the feautured songs on the list. I got heavily bashed for that, and I don't want two demons (social media and the record holders) to start burning my career alive.

"Alright, let's start."

---

"This seems wrong... very, very wrong..."

It was now the next day since me and South recorded our vocals... but there's a big problem.

South's vocals somehow got deleted.

And not only that, but he can't record again since he's busy for the next 2 weeks. And our deadline, is in 2 weeks.

"We're gonna have to find someone else to duet this..." Uki sighed as she sifted through the papers scattered on my desk.

"Japan?" I request.

"Nope, she's busy doing a month long subathon."

"Poland?"

"Are you serious?"

"You??"

"..."

"..."

"I can't sing if my life depended on it, Ame..." Ukraine said, as she whipped her head away in embarrasement. "Well we need someone..."

Suddenly, an idea popped in my head.

"What if we duet with a violinist?"

---

(Russia POV)

Ring! Ring!

"Hmm?..." I grumbled as skate over to my duffelbag in the stands. I open it to see my phone ringing.

"Hello?..."

"Heya, Russki!" America exclaims into his phone.

"Oh... xexe... Hi Ame, why are you calling?" I smile as I think about his gleeful voice again.

---

"Oh, I see..." I hum. "So you want me to duet your song with my violin?"

"Mhm!" Ame hummed gleefully in response.

"You could've contacted Germany instead, you know?..." I smiled sadly. To be honest, my violin skills are no match for his. I'm better off ice skating than joining musicals.

"Wel, that is true... but I also need someone real handsome for my music video~" he said, trying to tease me. My cheeks flush red as I thought of a response.

"You mean, you needed someone handsome to pair with your beauty?" I said as I deepened my voice and hardened my accent, just to tease him back 'a little'.

It took a while for him to respond, and even then he was stuttering. "W-well I- just come here tomorrow morning!-" he exclaimed in annoyance.

"Xaxa... 'course. See you then." I chuckle as I drop the call.

I've fallen too much... haven't I?...

---

"I still don't understand why you need a studio this big."

"Big artists need big studios!"

"Alright, you two... that's enough..." Ukraine chuckled as she saw us bickering. We both looked at each other and snickered as we listened to my sister attentively.

"Ok, in the opening, America plays the piano alone. Then the first part is America singing alone, no violin yet," she looks at me as if telling me to make a mental note, which I did as I gripped the violin harder. "Then when the buildup to the chorus hits, Russia will slowly start to play the violin. Once the chorus drops, go all out. Second part is Ame's turn. This time, Russia plays the violin too. Then for the final chorus, both of you sing and play at the same time. You both got all that?"

We both nodded.

"Alright. 3, 2, 1,"

Go.

For the next 2 weeks, we've been editing the song and recording the music video. And finally...

"Now today is a very special one, listeners! Today, the popular multitalented artist, America Washington, just dropped a new song! This time, he dueted with the famous ice skater, violinist, and pianist, Russia Moscow! If you love slow, romantic, and heart-melting songs, then you're gonna love this one! Let's give a listen to Golden Hour!" the host exclaimed as the screen faded to black and our music video started to play...

(A/N: please just imagine the song cause I have special lyrics here so yeah :,> )

I was sitting down and putting on my skates. I then took a deep breath, and walked toward the arena. It was then that the piano started to play.

The scene switched to a large gold mansion and an expensive gold grand piano that America was playing. He was wearing a golden suit, sparkled with glitter.

The camera moved down the hall and glowed brighter and brighter until it changed into a scene where both of us were riding in a car, with me driving.

It was just two lovers
Sittin' in the car, listenin' to blond
Fallin' for each other

The scene changed to both of us looking at the sunset.

Pink n' orange skies, feelin' super childish
No Donald Glover
Miss call from my mother
Like "Where you at tonight?", got no alibi

It suddenly switched back to me skating in a golden place, golden ice, golden outfit, golden skin.

I was all alone with the love of my life
He's got glitter for skin
My radiant beam in the night

I suddenly lunged to start a triple axel.

I don't need no light, to see you...

It moved to America singing while I played the violin in the background.

Shine!
It's your golden hour

Ohh...

You slow down time!
Its your golden hour

Ohh...

Then it suddenly switched to America lying down on his bed.

Ai Shiteru
That's what I should've always said to you
You know I can't play 'round,
Whip my head around and,

It suddenly switches to a large crowed in the city, but it was all blurred except one figure that was glowing a golden light.

Look at my surroundings when,
You're standin' in front of me,
Lookin at me with that look in your eyes.
I can't resist to look at that light.

It suddenly flashes to both of us looking at each other with time stopped, our surroundings blurred.

Oh, how the sparks in your eyes start to shine!
They're so hard to resist.
Its stuck in my head 'till I die.
Oh, tell me why...

It transitions to both of us dancing on ice and playing our instruments.

Why I can't move on from your eyes,
Oh, the light!
It's like glitter just fell,
from the sky and to your honest eyes.

You know, I can't resist, to look.
When I start to see you-

It then starts to transition between us singing, playing our instruments, and both of us dancing on ice.

Shine! (Aah ah ah, aah ah ah -ine)
Its our golden hour! (golden hour)
I see you slow down time! (oh the shine in your eyes)
Its our golden hour! (Oh, Ohhh oh...)

It then shows the end of each scene, pulling away from our instruments making one final step in our dance, giving one final look to the sunset and we look at each other as the music slowly crescendos.

And, of course, we finish it off, with a romantic, and passionate kiss, under our golden lights.
