✩ Imagine Hetalia ✩

Oh boy, I don’t know if we have gotten requests for him before!  Let’s see here...

He seems very aloof at first, but his s/o will be considered to be trustworthy enough to be shown his true nature - a gentle soul with a strong code of honor for those close to him.

He is a nature-lover who enjoys time spent outside, so relaxing outdoor dates like picnics will be appreciated. He would also take his s/o on dates to places with people, but not people they have to interact with, more like places where you can be anonymous in a crowd.  In this case he’ll try to look super-impressive and cool and show off for his date (with mixed results?!)

He definitely likes his peace and quiet, so a loud or boisterous s/o would not be for him in the long term, although at first glance they might seem like a good match.  He needs someone he can relax around.

Fun fact: in private he’s The Most Gentlest Kisser.  T E N D E R  C A R E S S E S. S O F T  C U D D L I N G.

But only when no one else is looking!!

In public he is not very into overt affectionate displays, other than something like hand-holding or putting his arm around his s/o.

He likes to garden but isn’t a super good cook, so if his s/o is a good cook and can use the fruits and veggies he grows to make interesting dishes, he’d be really impressed and attracted to that!

His s/o doesn’t need to worry about him cheating on them - his initially-gruff personality will keep most people away, and he’s known for not being very welcoming.  So it would be hard for someone else to get close to him in a casual way.

However!  He IS very curious about others so he will eventually welcome his s/o’s friends into his inner circle.  Not as close as his s/o, but they can do group activities, group dates, double dates, etc together.

His huge, adorable, fluffy dog is a source of bonus cuddles for his s/o! (seriously, I want to cuddle it so much)

America: He’d exclaim loudly about the volume of blood, totally overreact, wrap them in his jacket, pick them up, and rush them to the ER by whatever means are fastest.  Snacks and hugs will be provided before, during, and after the wound is cared for.  And this is all regardless of the actual size of the injury...

Canada: He would rush over, distraught, and ask you to show him the wound.  Of course he would have a first aid kit on hand to get you all taken care of.  Then you can decide together if the wound needs to be looked at by a doctor or not - if so he will be happy to drive you there.

China: Despite his been-there-seen-that attitude to most things, I think the sight of his own s/o bleeding will be a bit much for him!  After he recovers, he will help administer first aid, and have someone in his family prescribe his s/o with some traditional medicines to lessen the pain and promote wound healing.

England: His first reaction is to assess the wound while downplaying its seriousness - this is to make his s/o feel less panicked.  If it isn’t serious, he’ll just wrap it up for them (if there is an excess of hand-caressing during this procedure, well, no one can be blamed for that).  If it IS serious, he’ll get them to A&E pronto while internally panicking but trying to be calm on the outside.

France: 1) The s/o is definitely getting taken to get actual medical attention (or if the doc makes house calls, all the better).  2) Dinner will be ordered in.  3) His s/o better get ready to be completely babied, coddled, and loved on!  He’s definitely going to want to kiss it “to make it better” and there might be additional kissing administered as well.  That finger wound will soon be forgotten...

Russia:  The sight of the blood will be very distressing to him, inducing a PTSD-like response due to reminding him of many bad things from his past.  He’ll try to stop the bleeding right away. Once the bleeding is under control, he probably won’t be thinking about fetching medical attention unless the finger is obviously severely damaged, as he is used to dealing with most things on his own. So he’ll help them bandage the wound as needed.

TBH I didn’t know either!  The internet was strangely unhelpful so I just interpreted it as best I could.  Now, let me get on this while its still fresh in my mind...

France was done here (https://aph-imagines.tumblr.com/post/625742828798083073/btt-and-so-who-has-a-heartbeat-kink) so that leaves:

America: He’ll probably need some detailed info on exactly what you want, because he’s not very experienced in these kinds of things.  He’ll be happy to try it out, though!  He’ll be very enthusiastic about pursuing it, and probably find a way to make it into some kind of competition...

Canada: I’m not really sure how Canada will react about this! Probably somewhere between America and England, with a hint of France XD 

China: He’s been around long enough to be familiar with this, and every possible iteration. So he’ll probably have some tricks up his sleeve for his partner to try out.  It’s not his favorite thing, but he’ll try it out with his partner and see how they like it together.

England:  He’d chuckle gently and say it was a bit silly, while also pulling your face in against his chest... He’s kind of shy about this but also kinky so yeah XD

Russia: This is right up his alley, he’ll be very interested in trying EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. Like America, his partner will probably have to communicate exactly what they want to try.  He’ll do it willingly, and then want to try out any variations he thinks of.

I match you with Japan! Unless you don’t like spending time with people similar to you, he will be a *perfect* match for you! It sounds like you’ll enjoy spending time together away from crowds, both being homebodies. Think of quiet evenings together watching the sun set in the distance. Snacking together while watching cute animals shows on TV. Working on your art while he reads manga next to you. He may not be extremely artistic himself, but he definitely appreciates art, being a fan of manga and cute/beautiful things. So he’ll support your dream 100% and help you achieve your goal! Also, you’ll look totally cute together, awwwww...

If Japan isn’t your cup of tea, how about Vietnam, England, or Liechtenstein?

(I’ve interpreted this as ‘s/o said it because they feel like a supportive big brother’ rather than doing anything sexual since I didn’t know which way you wanted this to go Anon!)

Denmark: “You think I’m more like a big brother than a boyfriend? Should we be cuddling like this if that’s the case?” Denmark won’t be that fazed, making a light joke of it. Nicknames don’t bother him that much; he gives himself them half the time. ‘Big brother’ may be a bit much, but in the heat of the moment, he’s fine with it as long as they are.

Norway: Norway will be confused at first, and then flattered. Big brothers are supposed to be supportive and protective, right? Is that how he makes his s/o feel? If so, then he’d be honoured, although he would be questioning why they chose to say it as ‘big brother’ in the moment rather than giving him an explanation beforehand.

Iceland: A very embarrassed bean here! He’s not a huge fan of nicknames to start with, but big brother of all names? He’ll be bright red before his s/o gets the chance to blink. After of incoherent babbling, he’ll ask them why they called him ‘big brother’ of all things before having to excuse himself and wash his face.

Finland: “Oh?” Finland will be curious as to why they chose ‘big brother’ of all things to call him. Even though it was a heat of the moment thing, he’ll be asking them as though it was premeditated. It doesn’t upset him; he’s kind of wanted to be a big brother for a long time. He just never expected that the first person to call him so would be his s/o!

Sweden: Sweden has been it all- brother, father, supposedly husband. Long story short, family means a lot to this nation. If his s/o feels as if he’s like a big brother figure, then that’s a compliment to him. He idealises a strong family unit, so if his s/o feels comfortable and relaxed enough to call him big brother, then that makes him very happy.

(It looks like my first kisses and two people having a crush on one person series’ are kinda popular haha).

So far I’ve only done Prussia, Spain and America, so here are England and Canada for you Anon!

England may make his first kiss a little cliché. Kissing them after he’s ensured that his s/o will get home/has gotten home safely is the likely way his first kiss will plan out. Despite being experienced with relationships, he’ll still come across as awkward, averting his eyes and stumbling with his words. This is because all his brain cells are all telling him different things. Once he’s gotten them into gear, he’ll politely ask, “Would I be possible that we could kiss before your departure?” and if his s/o is fine with this, the kiss will commence from there. He’s a slow but chaste kisser, using this as a time to figure out the shape of his s/o’s lips and how they tend to kiss. Kisses thereafter will be more experimental, but he wants to keep his first kiss as one to explore this newfound intimacy.

Canada, like his brother, is a one-of-two-ways kinda guy! However, the situation really needs to lead up to a kiss. One situation where it could occur is quite a homey one. Either the good old ‘s/o got maple syrup on their lip’ or a good, romantic movie will do it. This kind of kiss will be very gentle- his s/o will know it happened because he takes so long to put his lips on theirs; they might not feel it as he’s so gentle. The other situation is when he’s powered by adrenaline, after a difficult stretch in a hike or winning an ice hockey game. A kiss from his s/o would be the icing on the cake, so he’ll ask them for permission and then go for it. This kiss will be more noticeable but still soft. He’s hoping that he’ll have plenty of kisses with his s/o in the future, so feels that there’s no need to start with anything too complex.

No problem! :)

I ship you with...Italy!

Italy has plenty of experience being around short tempered people, so that aspect of your personality won’t phase him! But I imagine he’d really appreciate someone considerate amongst all of his grumpy butt neighbours/friends. He too is adept at drawing and cooking so there’s a few cute and obvious date ideas for the pair of you! Also, he’s quite obviously an extrovert so can do all of the talking if you’re with someone new or having a quiet day.

I’ve always headcanoned Italy as being a linguist due to his history, culture and tourism, so the two of you could tackle a language together as an ambitious relationship goal! He most definitely would be wowed by the fact that you’re almost fluent in 3 (as am I, Anon!). You’ll probably be seeing Japan and Germany quite often, who can balance out his bubbly, crazy side if it’s a little overwhelming for you. I imagine these three sometimes play video games if they’re having some downtime together, so he can introduce you to some new gaming partners on top of everything else!

America: He’s usually such a positive thinker, but he will at first be really sad and tearful on their behalf. After that he’ll will be thinking of any and all positives that could be associated with this turn of events, and ways they can have fun together like this. He’ll probably try to convince his partner to let him carry them to and from their chair sometimes, it makes him feel strong and helpful (and he likes having them in his arms generally, so…).

Canada: Canada is quite loving and will have a strong tendency to dote on his partner. Maybe too much sometimes? But he loves making them feel cared for and secure. He will miss getting to take them out on hikes at wilderness trails, but he’ll try to find accessible nature trails for them to go on together so they can still enjoy outside time together. 

China: Being an old man with his share of aches and pains, China will surely empathize with his s/o. He won’t find this new situation too limiting regarding their activities as a couple, as he’s pretty easy-going and happy to let his s/o set the pace on their activities. If his partner is feeling down about it, he’ll make them forget their woes with an interesting new meal they can make and enjoy together. Also: buying his partner all the cute wheelchair accessories they could ever dream of? Check.

England: He’ll be very kind and patient as they learn to use the chair effectively when out and about. All his attention will be devoted to them during this time - really, you couldn’t ask for a better partner for this. He will also compose stern letters on his partner’s behalf to any facilities that fail to be accessible to wheelchair users! How dare they inconvenience his love!

France: France will always have a sympathetic shoulder to cry on/with for his s/o as they deal with the permanency of their situation. Also, if his partner has sore shoulders/back after a long day learning to use their chair, he will give them the BEST back rub they’ve ever had. Also, has his partner thought about ways to make their chair gorgeous as well as functional? Because HE has!

Russia: Russia has seen a lot of hardship, and he’ll be very sad for his partner. But he’s also a “make the most of it” kind of guy. He’ll a good partner for doing physical therapy exercises, keeping a cheerful and encouraging attitude during this time. Russia is also very strong, so if they need help moving around without the chair, he can certainly handle that. His partner can be confident that he’ll be there to catch them in his arms if they fall.

France: Honestly France probably invented this kink (as well as many others). He’s always up for exploring every aspect of his and his partner’s body, and the heart is, after all, one of the most romantic parts of the body. However his partner wants to experience this, he is enthusiastically up for it. He probably loves whispering dirty talk with his partner outside the bedroom about what exactly they can do later and exactly how his heart will react to each action they take...

Prussia: He would be shy about this at first, he’s never heard of it before and he’s not very experienced generally, so his partner will have to explain exactly what they want. Once he and his partner know each other really well and are more intimate, he would get into it. He’ll let them listen and see just how amped up his heart rate can go as they are getting intimate. He likes hearing his partner enjoying the feel and sound of his heart, and praising him for how strong his heart beats for them! His heart is awesome after all!

Spain: Oh boy, Spain would LOVE this about his s/o! Especially during relaxing times. He likes to lie back in the warm Spanish afternoons while his s/o drapes themselves over his bare chest and rests their ear over his heart while they nap together. This is ideal siesta, what a happy boy. And if they want to increase his heart rate after the nap is done, well, he certainly won’t object. ;)

I match you with China!  It sounds like you would be a really cute couple together, physically and figuratively! You are both on the short side and older than you look, eh? China will appreciate your artistic skill, being skilled that way himself, so maybe you can spend time drawing together. You will also compliment each other nicely - you might be more idealistic, while he is less so - so you might be kind of inspiring for him and in turn he’ll help keep you grounded in reality. He’s not as shy as you, but not overwhelmingly loud either, so it seems that you will be compatible in conversations. Since China loves cute things, and you love plushies, I see him getting you lots of them as gifts! Imagine having relaxing afternoon tea after a day of baking/cooking together...

Other options that come to mind are Japan and maybe New Zealand.

Aww, Liechtenstein is so sweet!  Let’s take a look at how she would be as a girlfriend.

Liechtenstein is pretty emotionally intelligent, so she’ll be aware of her s/o’s various moods and feelings. She’s also incredibly caring and always wants what is best for her partner. She is also quite generous and often spends time making special things for her special someone. Handmade clothes and other items, food, etc. all made with love for her s/o. She enjoys all the time she spends working because she thinks of them fondly the whole time.

For dates, she’s not picky and will enjoy various activities with her s/o as long as they aren’t too loud and boisterous. She likes nature, window-shopping in town, and spending time together at home. She would also enjoy double-dating with another couple! Maybe with Latvia and his s/o, or Ukraine or Hungary and theirs. Being a tidy person herself, she likes to make sure her s/o also looks nice when they go out. She’d enjoy helping her partner preen and primp so they look their best before they go out on the town.

For physical affection, she will definitely hold hands in public and sit close together with her beloved. She’ll maybe do a quick kiss, but she’s a bit shy about it so she’d rather save kisses and such for private time. This is not because she is embarrassed about her partner, but just because she herself is quite shy generally as well as being rather formal in her manner. Headcanon: she gives excellent shoulder-rubs!

Luxembourg is honestly going to be a pretty great dating partner. He’s kind and reliable, as well as being generally friendly. So he’s not likely to stand up his partner or run out of conversation. He’s also very handsome AND filthy rich - but he doesn’t show it off overtly, rather he is very elegant and classy. He will definitely take his date out for dinner at some very fancy places, and buy them flowers and chocolates and little gifts. He has a calm personality and excellent manners, and will always treat his partner politely and respectfully. When he first starts dating someone, he might seem a little “boring” but he does have a playful side under the surface that will come out once they get to know each other better. He’d be one to make little subtle in-jokes with his partner all the time after they have been involved for some time.

Let’s talk about physical affection. Being so polite and classy, he’ll keep any public displays of affection well within the expected and appropriate realm. He will do things like put his hand on his partner’s back or shoulder, kiss their cheek, use pet names, etc. Outside of public view he’ll be much more affectionate, and will be pretty smooth about it too. He’s easy-going about physical affection, and probably won’t expect to have overly-specific conversations about various amorous activities, rather just let things flow naturally. He hopes his partner will simply bring up anything they don’t like as it comes up, and he will do the same for them.

A downside is that he’s very busy. All that money doesn’t make itself! So his datemate might be stuck spending some time alone. It might be best if they either enjoy lots of alone time or are also busy themselves, so they don’t feel that they are constantly waiting for him to have some free time.

I’m glad you liked this post Anon!

Spain would be playful but romantic with his first kiss. He’ll probably be dancing to some upbeat with his s/o beforehand, really getting into the music. His body will be grooving but his mind will be elsewhere, thinking about how close his s/o is and how they look like they’re having so much fun doing something he’s passionate about. When the time is right- either during the best part of the song or at the end- he’ll ask for their permission to kiss them and then go in! He’s pretty good at kissing so will take the lead without becoming too dominant, going for something simple but memorable.

America will kiss his s/o quite simply, but it can go one of two ways. First, it could be in the moment. He can’t verbalise the extent as to how happy being around his s/o is making him, so he’ll peck them on the lips to let them know. This kind of kiss will be over before his s/o can acknowledge it and will be a pretty loud smack on the lips. If the kiss is more premeditated, he’ll probably be a lot more awkward so will still keep it simple. There may be a little bit of nose or glasses bumping involved but his goofy grin afterwards will make up for it if his s/o is dissapointed.

Thank you Anon!

I ship you with...France!

France is pretty good at small talk, so he can be the schmoozer in your relationship and help you work on your socialisation if you’d like! But the fact you can talk or listen for hours? If you have common interests, he will love that. 

And I think you will have common interests! He’s got a rich history so you can discuss that, he could teach you/converse with you in French and boy, will he have some stories to tell! He almost certainly will be talented with needlework, so you could sew each other new clothes, upcycle your old things or even try a new endeavour together!

He isn’t a huge fan of technology so I don’t know about sandbox games, but I’m ensure France loves a bit of trash TV and tea spilling (and could probably give you a live performance if you want), so he’d enjoy watching some reality shows with you!

America: First he would tell them how much it sucks that they are going through that. Then we would try to be the hero and save the day! It may or may not be effective, but he’ll try his best and probably rope other countries into helping as well (which will probably be more effective). His enthusiasm is oVER 9,000!!  “I’m the hero and you’ll be good to go in no time!”

Canada: He will try to take their mind off the situation by getting them out into a very relaxing nature setting, as long as they are healthy enough to do so. He’ll probably also want to send aid to his s/o’s citizens. “Its time for forest bathing, the fresh air will help you feel better.”

China: China has been through alot and really seen it all. He’ll reassure his s/o that they can pull through it and things will be good again someday. His nonchalance will help put them at ease. If they are in pain, he will also try to help them heal physically if he can. “Drink this tea while we wait this out. Time heals all wounds.”

England: England would rush to their side to see if there was anything he could do for them, but after that his efforts would lean strongly toward vengeance if there was anyone to blame. However, his vengeance may or may not be effective. For a natural disaster he will try getting aid to the nation, by sea or air. “Stiff upper lip, I’ll sort this out for you in no time!”

France: France would also rush to the side of his s/o right away, but his efforts would be mostly just around making them feel better. He probably won’t think there is much he can do as a nation to solve the problem, but he can support them physically and emotionally as they recover (after he finishes crying over them). “Let me take care of you...now, its time for your sponge bath.”

Russia: He would find what caused the problem, and if any person/any nation was to blame, he would be effective in making them reverse the situation, probably in a very intimidating way - this situation has potential to be a berserk button for him, so the guilty party better watch out. For a natural disaster, he will react similarly to China, encouraging his s/o to tough it out and wait for the society to heal itself. “Kolkolkol”

I match you with Ukraine! Her gentle and caring personality will have you trusting her and opening up in no time! She seems like a Hufflepuff as well, so you will have similar traits and approaches to what is important in life. That’s important in a long-term partner. Also, she will have no problem with your autism because she is already used to her neurodiverse family members and other nations. You would have an exceptionally loving relationship, just gals supporting and loving each other through life’s up and downs. You can be as naive as you want with her, she would never take advantage. The only flaw I see is between your childishness and her maybe-too-trusting nature, other people might take advantage of you :( Be strong together!

Other possible matches that come to mind are Finland and maybe Latvia...

France: France has fallen in love many times, but he’s also experienced heartbreak in a lot of those cases. Flirting with a pretty person is oh so different from true love, and France knows this well. While he’s calm and collected upon his realisation, he’ll not interact with his best friend for a little while after, having some time away from them to mull- should he commit or let it fizzle out? After, he will treat them like royalty, but the question is, will he be the Prince/King or the best friend of his beautiful royal?

Spain: Spain is the most likely to just come out with it to his best friend up front. He’d ask something wistful, such as, “Hey, bestie, have you ever considered what life would be like if there was romance between us just as strong as our platonic bond?” He wouldn’t look them in the eye as he asked to hide the emotions he’s suddenly feeling for them upon realising. From there, he can gauge whether they feel the same or not without seeming too out of character or accidentally breaking either of their hearts.

Prussia: Oh dear. Prussia actually gets pretty flustered when it comes to romance! Hopefully he doesn’t realise when he’s actually out with his best friend because he’ll probably just seize up and become a man of few words. He’ll have to have an urgent meeting with his diary and try and write out his thoughts before deciding what to do next. After asking advice from some of his more romantically versed friends (and being very embarrassed about it), he’ll probably just come out with it rather than any of their romantic suggestions the next time he sees his best friend.
