Hetalia Denmark x Reader - True King Pt. 5

You liked him… No, that was an understatement.

You loved him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another week later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was Christmas Eve, and everyone, including Lukas, seemed to be happy. There was a new boy at the party, too. His name was Peter, and he was such a positive, sweet little boy, though he could be a little stubborn. You quickly got aquatinted and he instantly liked you. He even started flirting with you, though he was much younger than you. This made you giggle, but you didn’t see a slightly jealous Matthias standing behind you, arms crossed.

“That’s enough, Peter,” Matthias stated. Peter stuck out his tongue. “You’re just jealous that I can pick up hot chicks like her, and you’re stuck being single,” Peter shot back to Matthias as he exited the room. You turned cherry red, and Matthias stood there, gapping at the boy’s comment. “I didn’t know he had that in him,” he muttered. “I’m sorry for his behavior, he’s just a kid,” Matthias turned back to you, his face painted red. “Oh, no, that’s ok. He was adorable. I just hope I can put him down gently that I’m not interested,” you said jokingly. Matthias smiled. “Hey, let’s go into the living room. Tino needs to leave soon so he can deliver presents.” “Ok! Sounds good,” you said as he escorted you to the living room.

When Berwald saw you two exit the kitchen together, he gave you that ‘did-you-tell-him-you-like-him’ look. You shook your head and mouthed, ‘I can’t’. He rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed.

Emil invited you to hang out with the five, minus Matthias because he was at work most of the day. It was a great bonding time for all of you, and you even admitted your ever-growing crush on Matthias to them. They promised to keep it a secret, but by Christmas time, they wanted you to tell Matthias.

“Ok, ok! Time for presents!” Tino exclaimed, practically jumping. He was wearing his Santa Claus outfit, getting ready to leave soon to deliver the presents for the children of the world. “Would you mind if I go first?” chirped up Matthias from the couch. “Oh, of course, Matthias!” Tino beamed. He took a  seat next to Berwald on the couch. Matthias took stood up in front of everyone.

MATTHIAS POV

I took a deep breath ‘I hope this turns out alright,’ I thought. “Let’s start with Berwald! Here ya’ go,” I tossed him his box, knowing the contents of it wouldn’t break. “And here’s for Tino,” “Oh, boy! I wonder what it is!” Tino said, shaking the box. “Peter,” He already was tearing at the wrapping paper. “Emil,” “Thank you,” he said quite plainly. “Lukas,” He took the box hesitantly. “It’s not like the present you gave me last year, is it?” I shook my head. “Naw, I was joking around with you last year.”    (As for what the gift was, I’ll let your imagination decide )
I turned my attention to _____. “And last but definitely not least, _____. Here you go,” I said, handing her the box with a smile. She looked slightly shocked. “I… You…” I got a little nervous. “What's wrong?”  “I haven’t celebrated Christmas since I was 13,” she said, admiring the wrapping paper on the box. “Thank you, so much.” She said gratefully. She looked so hot, I thought I would get a bloody nose on the spot. I grinned. “You’re very welcome.”

Tino flipped out.

“WHAT?!?! YOU HAVEN’T CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS SINCE YOU WERE HOW OLD?!?!?!” Everyone in the room practically jumped, even Berwald. Tino looked like he was about to faint. “But… But… I thought I got everyone…” He looked panicked and disappointed in himself. “Don’t be upset, you never missed me. I just never got them. My parents stole the gifts before I could get them and sold them for more travel money. They were VERY stingy,” _____ sighed. “Wow, that’s terrible,” Emil said. “Whatever. It doesn’t matter now. I’m glad I’ve got you guys, now,” “And we’re glad to have you, too, _____,” commented Lukas.

“Actually, that’s what I wanted to ask you,” I mentally thanked Lukas for the perfect set-up to my question. “Here, come with me,” I said, taking _____’s hand in mine and leading her outside. “Ooooo~,” teased Peter as we left the room. I could see _____ turn bright red. I let her grab her coat and took her to the backyard.

It was a perfect scene; the snow was falling, the moon was out, no wind blowing. I turned to face her, holding both of her hands in mine. “Listen, I just wanted to ask you… If you wanted to… You could stay with us. We… I really enjoy your company, and I…” I trailed off. She looked up at me with disbelief. “Y-you… Want me to stay? Would I be too much trouble?” I chuckled and pulled her into a hug. I whispered into her ear, “You? Trouble? Never. I can’t imagine you not being here.” She gasped a little. “What do you mean?” She made me chuckle even more. “Do you want me to say it out loud? I want you to stay… and be my girlfriend,” I looked down into her wide (e/c) eyes. I leaned down and kissed her gently. It was better than I imagined. Her lips were soft and smooth, and they tasted like peppermint. She pulled back for air. “I thought you would never ask,” she said, panting slightly.

CHANGE POV

Finally.

He asked you. You obviously said yes, and… He kissed you. He tasted of gingerbread and beer, and his kiss was soft like freshly fallen snow. You pressed your forehead to his, feeling the warmth of his face radiate off his skin. You were about to go into another kiss when the back door was pulled open. It was Emil.

“_____, Matthias, I’m sorry to interrupt, but we have company.” He rushed back inside. He looked slightly panicked. “Hey,” Matthias notices this and grabs your attention. “It can’t be anyone that bad,” he gives you a reassuring smile. You go back inside, arms linked together. You heard annoyed voices in the foyer which the guests entered. You turn the corner and freeze, a mix of angry emotions running through you.




It was your parents.
