Hetalia x Reader: Paint it White
Part 1
(c/n) = country name
(y/n) = your name
You are (c/n), one of the youngest countries to exist in the world. Despite being one of the youngest, you have already bloomed into an adult years ago. Currently, you were following a maid as you walked through the halls of the world conference building in America. You were about to attend a meeting with the rest of the countries. Or at least who could attend and who are still around. It wasn’t like a usual meeting. It is an emergency meeting.
Recently countries and their people have been attacked by faceless white aliens. Your country along with some others has not had that problem as of yet, but it could happen if they can’t stop them. Which is why America is holding an emergency meeting and invited you to attend it and discuss the topic.
Both of you stopped at the door where the conference will be held. She opened the door and you saw America along with England, France, Russia, China, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan. America was first to notice you as you entered the room.
“Dude! You made it!” America exclaimed as you smiled. Italy was smiling at you and waved excitedly while the other countries were surprised to see you.
“(c/n)?! What are you doing here?!” Germany asked.
“America told me about the conference and invited me over.” You answered, sitting down around the table.
“Aiyah America! Why did you invite them here?!” China asked with a whisper.
“Why not dude?” America asked him, raising an eyebrow.
“You shouldn't have brought them here in the first place, you git!” Britain whisper-yelled at America. You could tell by the looks of it that something wasn’t right.
“Is there something going on?” You asked them, rising from your seat, staring at them with suspicion.
“I-It is nothing, mon cher,” France told you with a smile, but you could see the nervousness on him and the others. “It’s just… um..” Russia approached you.
“Sunflower, we appreciate that you came, but it’s for the best that you wait outside da?” He told you.
“What? No!” You shouted, glaring at the tall nation. “I came here out here just so I could help out! And now you are asking me to leave?”
“It’s for the best. You’ll see. Now be a good nation and get out.” Russia spoke with an innocent smile, but you could see the dark aura around him, frightening everyone except for you and America, who was clueless by the whole scene going on around him.
“I’m not leaving! Besides, you’re not the one who invited me here in the first place!” You told him, glaring at Russia. America pushed himself between the two of you.
“Hey, calm down you two. Don’t you think that this is the time for a dispute? We got to stop a serious threat remember?” America noted. You and Russia calmed down.
“Da.”
“Right..”
“Now you two get back to your seats so we can start. And (c/n), you can join the meeting. You are my sidekick after all.” America told, showing his signature smirk at you.
“I’m not your sidekick, America.” You responded with a pout before smiling back at him. “But thanks anyway.”
Everyone calmed down as you and Russia went back to your seats. Russia started to knit while you watched Italy drawing onto the pictures with a marker.
“Alright dudes! This is an emergency!” Everyone except Italy stared at America as he started the conference. “In front of you are documents and pictures of these weird white figures that appeared all over the earth! My righteous alien friend Tony told me that they are Pictonian aliens from the planet Picto! For real dudes, Picto’s in like way far out of space!”
“Your brain is way far out of space!” England shouted while you stared at the documents, confused.
“Listen up! We can’t let these noppera dudes make Earth all freaky and boringly white, right?! We’ve gotta stop these dudes! Also, what’s a noppera?” America questions everyone in the room.
“I know what they are.” Everyone focused their attention on Japan. “It is a Japanese monster without a nose, eyes, or mouth. Its proper name is Nopperabou.” Japan answered.
“Wait a tick. Are you saying that you have something to do with this, Japan?!” England questioned Japan, rising from his seat.
“No, I was just explaining what noppera means!” Japan explained, panicked. “It’s not my fault!”
“Calm down, England. He is probably referring to those stories that they tell. The monster he is telling us and those aliens we are dealing with are completely different.” You told England which made Japan smile, but you didn’t notice.
“Focus countries!” Your attention went back to America. “Now your ideas will all suck, so listen to me! We’ll combine our military strength and I’ll be in command! All heroes wear red, white, and blue!” He exclaimed.
“We could all make white flags!” Italy shouted with a bright smile. You approached and patted him on the head, avoiding the curl.
“Italy, go back to your drawing.” You told him, smiling.
“Si!” Italy agreed, continuing to draw.
“Why in God’s name would we put you in charge?!” Britain questioned.
“Duh! I’m the hero! Everyone knows that!” America answered with a smirk. You place your hand over your temple, knowing where this is going.
“Everyone knows I’ve got the biggest-” France was about to say until England butted in.
“No one asked you, cheesy monkey!” Britain shouted.
“Shut up, black sheep of Europe!” France shouted back before being grabbed by the collar by England.
“I told you not to call me that!” He exclaimed, glaring at France. You and China both sighed.
“Here we go again.” You and China both mumbled under your breath, You and China noticed what just happened and looked away.
“Hey (c/n)! You’re with me right?” America asked you, putting an arm around you.
“W-Well..” You stuttered, getting nervous with the close distance between you two. “I do think we should unite our power, but-”
“Great! So you’re on board with me as your hero and commander!” America interrupted you, giving you a thumbs up.
“That’s not what I meant!” You shouted at him, but America didn’t listen as he went back to Russia.
“And Russia, what are you going to do?” He asked, grinning.
“Fighting of course,” Russia responded with a smile.
“Awesome! Then it is decided! (c/n), you’re my sidekick! And Russia, you’re my backup sidekick!” America announced.
“What?” Both you and Russia exclaimed.
“America! That’s not a good idea! Think about (c/n)!” Canada exclaimed, but no one heard him except for you.
“What about me?” You asked him. Canada, startled after being noticed, shook his head rapidly.
“N-Nothing Maple! It’s nothing! Forget about what I just said!” Canada told you, but you are not buying it.
“I know that you're lying.” You told him, staring at him. “Now tell me. What are you hiding from me?”
Canada remained silent, not giving you an answer. The truth is that the Axis and Allies wanted to protect you ever since you were born, seeing you as someone that they held dear, but they kept their true feelings away from you because of the pride of a country. While you continued to argue with Canada, trying to get an answer out of him, everyone else except Germany was arguing over movies while France and England are having an all-out brawl like usual. Eventually, Germany snapped.
“That is enough!!” Germany shouted, rising from his seat and slamming his hands onto the table, catching your attention. “While you sit here, arguing about nothing, more of mankind are being turned into noppera, or Pictonians, or whatever they’re called! Now listen! If we are turned into those things, that would mean we will lose our faces, so we won’t be able to recognize any of us from one another! Think about it, your dummkopfs!!” Germany panted after his speech. Realization dawned on you and looked away from Canada, feeling guilty.
“He’s right. What am I even doing?” You mumbled to yourself. You turn to the others and see that everyone else is still going at it despite Germany’s screaming. You were about to scold them yourself until you heard Germany speak.
“I’m done here.” Everyone else stared at Germany. “Why did I even think that we could have a simple meeting. What a waste of time. This entire meeting is pointless. I will do what I have to do and you do what you have to do.” Germany spoke before walking off. Everyone stood in silence for a moment until you broke it with a sigh.
“You guys were right. Maybe I shouldn’t have attended in the first place if this is the result.” You commented, glaring at the group behind you. You turn your head towards the nation in front of you.“I’ll see you later, Canada.” You told him and left the room.
After exiting the building, your gaze searched for Germany. You spotted him from the distance and sprinted after him.
“Ger- Ludwig!” You called. He turned and his blue eyes widened upon seeing you. You stopped near him, panting. “Listen, I’m sorry about what happened!” You apologized. Germany was surprised at first until he shook his head.
“Nein. I should be the one apologizing. For lashing out like that.” He told you.
“No, it’s fine. I needed to hear that. If not, I would have continued that stupid argument.” You reassured him. He turned away from you, clenching his fist.
“I thought that they would get serious for once,” Germany muttered in disappointment. You put a hand onto his back as a sign of comfort.
“I thought they would too. I mean, this is a really bad situation we are in. We could have something done. We could have made a solution. But as our union is right now, this may never work out.” You agreed and sighed. You heard your mobile phone ring and took it out of your pocket. “It is probably my boss. I gotta go.” You said your goodbye and was about to sprint off.
“Wait, (y/n)!” Germany called out. You stopped and turned around. He was silent for a moment, looking down. “Listen, if you need anything, let me know. I could send part of my army to your country for extra security.”
“Thank you, Germany. But I can handle this.” You refused with an appreciative smile.
“(c/n)-”
“I’ll be fine. You and the other nations taught me everything that I needed to know and helped me out on every single occasion when I was still a little nation. Besides, I have a strong arsenal of weapons and a big troop. As you said, I will focus on my country while you focus on yours.” You told him with confidence and seriousness.
Germany couldn’t say anything. He only looked away. You poked him on his chest, catching his attention. You showed a reassuring smile and saluted at him. Germany stood still for a moment before saluting back at you. Your smile brightened and you ran off while waving goodbye at Germany. He watched you fade from a distance with worry. He focused his gaze in front of him until he heard footsteps approaching him. He turned and met the gazes of Italy and Japan, the remaining members of the Axis.
“Where’s (c/n)? I wanted to show them my drawing!” Italy said with a smile, showing him the drawing on the noppera’s faces.
“They already went home,” Germany mumbled.
“Aww. Oh well. Maybe next time.” Italy told himself, with a nod. Germany noticed Japan standing next to him, staring at the pavement right in front of him before smiling at him.
“Don’t worry, Germany-san. They are a fully grown nation now. They can handle it. I’m sure of it.” Japan reassured his friend. Germany sighed.
“I hope you’re right, Japan. I hope you’re right.”
