White ceiling, white walls, white room. Greece is going crazy aren't they? And America is the one to blame for all their problems.

This is all America's doing. This all America's doing. This is all America's doing. This is all Amer-

The United States of America stood by the door with her arms crossed. She looked at Greece with an unreadable expression.

"Are you feeling well now?"

Greece rose her brow, feeling rather lost. A tingering guilt rests in her chest. She silently nodded her head, not maintaining eye contact with America.

Y/N and Australia stood behind her, but where's Poland? Her friend? Just thinking about that made her want to go through another round of whatever she had before.

Even America bothered to come visit her. It was saddening to see Poland not being able to make it.

"I've... talked with the director. He agreed to give you the role." The one and only continued. "And I was changed to the main character's lover."

Y/N almost choked on his spit when he heard that America would be Greece's lover in the play. Australia held his breath, not wanting to look at his face.

Greece froze, her face flushed deep red. "L-lover?!"
She's cooked. There's one kissing part in the script.

The glass looked oddly fine today, Australia thought, way finer than any other days. He wanted to sneak in a laugh so badly.

"So...err.. we'll be outside while you ladies have a nice chit-chat!" Y/N awkwardly smiled, seeing his fellow aussie being really stiff.

"Thank you, Y/N... you're my best man.." Australia's tears flowed down his tear glands elegantly as he muttered his thanking to Y/N.

☆~~

"Why the fuck did you start running?"

"I find it hilarious."

"I'll skin you alive pal."

"Thanks! I appreciat-" Y/N paused, wondering where the two had run to.

The area looked out of place in this school. A variety of different coloured butterflies flew around them.

"Is this where we get our first kiss or what?" Australia whispered behind Y/N, snickering at the thought.

"No, thank you." Y/N patted his shoulder before exiting the glass dome.

Within the flowers was a country, watching the country's every step in wary. His eyes met with the curious gaze from Y/N, who had barely seen him hiding with the flowers.

Y/N blinked for a second, and the mysterious country was gone without a trace.

"What the fuck, did you see what I see?" He turned to Australia, who was getting attacked by butterflies??? How can one get attacked by a harmless creature even.

"I dunno man. I think these butterflies hate me or something." Australia said in between his struggles as the 🧈🪰s surround his face.

Y/N sure do study biology or at least know common knowledge. He's sure that butterflies don't attack humans.

Either way, Australia would have been too distracted to see the figure hiding.

America whistled, twirling her locker key as she left the class for the last period. There was no thought process behind her head as she prepared for the next lesson.

Physical education.

She saw a shadow looming over her before feeling a tap on the shoulder.

"Oh, hey Russia!" She smiled at the tall girl. "How have you been since I left?"

The Russian smiled lazily, writing on her notepad. 'I've been fine, kind of tired of this schooling system tho. I wanna take a break.'

"You know you could request for online schooling, right?"

'There's a reason why you got held back a year.'

"Ehem... I gotta go for my next class! See ya later!" America waved goodbye, scurrying away immediately in embarrassment.

Russia crossed her arms, blushing faintly at her antics.

Y/N could've swore one of his classmates looked familiar. Before he could take another look at him, the country suddenly disappeared within the crowd.

"Alright, I want you all to gather in groups of 6 for dodge ball." IOC blew their whistle. "I'll give you 5 minutes."

"I like this P.E. teacher, they're better than ours." Australia whispered in Y/N's ears, Y/N hummed in agreement.

"Yo, let's team up- NO NOT MY MAN!!" Y/N reached out to grab Australia's hand. Unfortunately, Australia has been taken away from him by force.

Y/N was left in the cold. Shivering as the others picked up their teammates. Oh, how cruel the world is, punishing innocents who had done nothing wron- oh hey, it's Ukraine standing next to him.

"Do you wanna team up?" He walked up to the country he's most familiar with last reset.

"Uhh... sure." Ukraine awkwardly replied, scratching his elbow.

The rest was simple, really. The leftover classmates were just enough to fill the team up.

It felt devastating, not having his best man at his side. Yet alone, Y/N's team is facing against Australia's team.

"Well..well...well. look what we got here."

"Shut up, I'll shove my fork up you if you say that again."

Y/N threw the ball at his friend immediately, knocking him out of the game.

"Who hurt you bro?"

"Wendy... wendy deez nuts fit in your mouth."

He guessed that someone didn't like that joke and threw the ball at his face, missing by a few centimetres and knocking his unsuspecting teammate out.

Ukraine grumbled, wanting to pull out his gun in a ball fight. He managed to knock out some of the opposing team. It would've been easier if he had just fired with his gun.

He was a tad bit distracted, not spotting the ball hurling at him.

"Dont worry, girlie, I got you." Y/N winked, smacking the ball away. U̶k̶r̶a̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶p̶u̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶g̶u̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶o̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶5̶7̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶s̶.̶

"Ack!" His teammate grunted, getting knocked out. Strange, Y/N doesn't recall him being in the group. Maybe he forgot about him.

The country was hit in the face, badly injured for what Y/N could tell. The game still continued, as if the country wasn't in the game at all. No one noticed that he was out. No one noticed that he was hurt.

The teacher was looking after another match. There was no one to help. Perhaps their teammates would not mind if two people were missing.

♡•°●°○•

It's been a long time since the player touched the game. Some life events occurred, and they got busy here and there with their new job.

But the good news is that their boss was feeling great last week and gave them vacation time. What a great way to spend their vacation at home gaming on their old fixation?

"What the fuck, why am I missing??" The player furrowed their brows, missing every timing.

America on the screen kept missing every ball she sent, earning a taunt from the opponents.

GAME!

5 excellents
18 greats
5 goods
29 misses

"This is rigged."

☆~~~~~

Peru. That was his name. The two countries avoided gaze awkwardly, not saying a single word to each other after the brief introduction.

"You know you didn't really have to send me to the office, right? I could've gone there myself." Peru broke the silence.

"Wouldn't want you to collapse midway."

"..Thank you."

Did you know?

• There's NPCs in the game, which means they aren't real countries.

• Greece's opinion on America changed, but they wouldn't have a crush on her like the game intended.
