~Prussia POV~

"Open the door!!! The awesome me has to take a piss!!!"

"Hold on, I'm almost done."

I sighed in frustration at how long Canada was taking in the bathroom. The door then swung open and I saw Canada dressed in jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a giant red maple leaf on it. His hair was soaking wet still from his shower.

"Ok I'm done, happy now? I didn't even dry my hair knowing you were waiting." Canada walked out with a towel in his hand.

"Thanks Birdie!" I said quickly before running into the bathroom.

"Alright ready to go?"

I nodded and grabbed my wallet and cell phone. Checking my phone it was about 2 in the afternoon. I figured we could walk since the café wasn't too far."Let's take a nice stroll, since the café isn't too far from here." I told Canada. The main reason I wanted to walk was so I could hold Canada's hand with an excuse.

"Alright that's fine." Canada said with a smile.

Walking down street I noticed how there was still some snow on the trees and a little that blanketed the ground. It was actually quite beautiful, the snow never looked this beautiful in Germany. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt something cold touch my hand. I looked down to see Canada holding my hand, his hand was freezing so I tightened my grip to warm it. I'm surprised he's so straight forward, I'm glad though. He took initiative when I was just about to do the same, great minds think alike.

We both had huge smiles on our faces just walking down the street hand-in-hand. The silence between us was comfortable, just enjoying each other's company. Occasionally we would get dirty glances from passing people, but I would just give them death looks. Finally making it to the café Canada and I sat at a table and waited patiently for our waitress.

"Hello! My name is Piper, can I start you guys off with some coffee or tea?" A peppy waitress came over, she looked young, maybe 19. She had long dirty blond hair that pulled into 2 pony tails that rested down on her back. She wore a blue waitress uniform that was complete was a small black bow tie, she also had glasses.

Canada smiled at her, "Hi, I would like a coffee please." Canada then looked over at me, "I would also like a coffee please."

"Alright I'll be right back with your coffees." Piper said and then walked to the counter to pour our coffees. Glancing at the menu I noticed this weird food called a poutine. It looked like french fries covered in gravy. Canada must've noticed me eyeing it, "I recommend getting a poutine, they're very good." I nodded, now I know what I'm getting.

"Alrighty, here's your coffees. And are you guys ready to order?" Piper said.

"Ja, I'll get the poutine." I said.Canada giggled."What? Why are you laughing?" I questioned.

"The way you pronounced poutine, it sounded funny." Canada said in between giggles. I glared at him and smirked, "Vell I'm sorry. Is mein accent just too awesome for jou to handle. I zhought mein accent vas hot!" I made sure to really exaggerate the way I said things so my accent really stuck out.

This just made Canada crack up laughing even more causing our waitress to giggle too. I just smiled at the success of making them laugh.

"Hahahah, you guys are funny. What kind of accent do you have?" Piper asked me.

"It is an awesome Prussian accent!" I said proudly.

"That's so cool! How do you determine it as Prussian and not German?" I was taken aback by her question, I thought she would just correct me saying it was German. I thought for a bit before responding."Well... My ancestors were Prussian, so I say I'm also Prussian." I concluded.

"That's neat. I love history, so fascinating. Anyways, you wanted a poutine, and what would you like sir?" Piper looked over at Canada."I would like a pain du chocolat." (French pastry with a little chocolate in it)"Alright coming right up." Piper smiled and walked away.

***

"Birdie, that poutine was so good! It was unique and tasted delicious!" I said as I finished the last bite of french fries drizzled in gravy."Glad you liked it. That's a Canadian specialty." Canada said with a glint in his eye.

I raised my hand getting Piper's attention to come to our table."Danke Piper for serving us. You were a great waitress." I smiled at her and handed her cash for the meal.

Canada thanked her and we walked out of the small café and down the street. The sun was already descending in the sky, glancing down at my watch it said it was about 5 o'clock. I was surprised the sun was setting this early, but it made sense since it was the middle of winter.

As the sun set it got a little chillier and I noticed Canada was shivering a bit. This was my chance.I put my arm around Canada's shoulder and pulled him closer to me as we walked. Sharing body heat I could tell he was warming up. He rested his head on my shoulder while we walked close together, getting strange looks from others that we just ignored.

We walked a bit further until we reached a wide frozen late with people skating over it, I noticed a little shack that looked like it was renting people ice skates.

Canada looked at me with wide eyes, "Gil, can we go skating pleeeeaase."

I smiled at how cute he looked, "Anything for you Birdie." His smile grew and he gave me a quick hug.

Honestly I've never ice skated before, but I'll skate with Canada if it makes him happy. We walked over to the little shack and rented a pair of skates for each of us. Slipping them on I shuffled to the ice, prepared to fail.

"Gil? Do you know how to ice skate?" Canada looked at me, his violet eyes sparkling in the light.

I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment, "Not really, but I'm awesome so I can figure it out." Canada just giggled at my embarrassment and dragged me onto the ice. I was kinda nervous to be completely honest, but with Canada by my side I trusted he would help me.

"Ok, have you ever roller skates before?" Canada asked me."Ja, I've gone roller blading with France and Spain before."

"Ok great! This won't be so hard then. Just pretend you're doing that. It's pretty much the same thing. Here hold on, just in case." Canada then interlocked our arms together so I was stable. I slowly began to move my legs, pretending I was just roller skating. I was starting to get the hang of it.

Left. Right. Left. Right.

I had a nice pattern going on in my head to keep my balance. I then felt a push on my back, "See I knew you'd get the hang of it!" I held my arms out to keep my balance when Canada pushed me. I looked back and gave him a glare.

"Come on let's skate together." Canada then hooked arms with me and dragged me along. Who knew he could be so assertive?

Canada and I skated arm-in-arm around the ice, passing couples that would either give us dirty looks or would 'aww' at us. The sun was completely gone now and the crisp night air stung on my face as we skated around.

Canada looked at me while we were skating, "Gil, this has been a lot of fun today." "I had fun too Birdie!" I smiled at him.

"Hah. Finally warmth!" I sighed when we entered Canada's house. I kicked off my shoes and shrugged off my jacket.

"Before the night ends, let's watch a movie." I said to Canada. "Sure, just put on Netflix and pick whatever you want."

Picking a random movie, I settled on the couch with a blanket and pillow. "Come sit with me." I said patting the seat next to me. Canada walked over and sat next me and I wrapped the blanket around him.

I pulled him onto my lap to keep him warm. He snuggled into my chest while the movie played, I loved this close contact with him, it made my heart flutter and beat fast.

"Birdie?""Yes Gil?"I hesitated, now was the moment I would say the 3 words I've been wanting to say to him.

Canada stared at me with his beautiful violet eyes, I stared back into his eyes. Red mixing with violet.

"Ich liebe dich." I whispered into Canada's ear.He looked up at me with a puzzled look. "What's that mean Gil?"

"I love you" I whispered. I'm never this quiet so my voice sounded so soft.

"Je t'aime aussi ." Canada said quietly nuzzling my chest. "That means I love you too."

With Canada in my lap I lifted his chin and our lips collided. It was a passionate kiss, no lust at all. His lips were warm and soft against mine. He was kissing me back and I shifted to deepen the kiss.

Today was an awesome day.__________________________
