Request: "Oohhh how bout head-canons for the axis and allies having a crush on one of America’s states but knowing he is super protective of them and would murder them just for taking a glance?"
Rating: Fluff, Crack, Slight Angst
America is excluded for obvious reasons.
England: Arthur is confused and tries to repress his feelings. But everytime he runs into Washington he can't help his feelings from swelling up. He gets nervous and awkward and he knows if he even hints to America that he likes one of his states he'd have another war on his hands. So he tries harder to repress his feelings and avoid them at all costs.
France: Francis had known for a while of his crush on the ruthless, yet fashionable New York and he innocently tried to talk to them whenever he had a chance. But America was smarter than he looked and everytime Francis was around, he kept his state close by him, allowing conversations of just the weather or meaningless talk. It didn't matter to him, he'd gladly talk about the weather all day long if it only meant he was able to talk to them longer. You can only imagine France's joy when America informed him his gift of Lady Liberty would be erected in his beloved New York.
China: Yao is confused about his feelings and half disgusted with himself. He's so much older than any of America's states. You'd think he'd have romantic feelings expelled from his life after such a long time, but the second he met Alaska he felt that gut wrenching, terrifying feeling known as love for them. He still struggles with his feelings, not even comfortable owning up to his feelings to Alaska let alone Alfred yet. So for now, hopefully, they'll just stay bottled up inside of him.
Canada: Matthew always had a crush on Montana, ever since he laid eyes on them. The state was so similar to him and although they also were forgotten often (no hate Montana I love you) they were okay with it! If anything, Montana liked being forgotten, left alone to their own devices. So Matthew felt even more awkward confronting the introverted state. Not to mention the looming presence of his neighboring country. He's terrified America will find out his feelings, but also equally terrified Montana themself will find out.
Russia: Ivan was lost in the middle of nowhere within the USA and that's when he met them - the lovely Iowa. He swears it was love at first sight when he saw the state working the field of corn that seemed to be growing just about everywhere he turned (no hate Iowa I love you too). He immediately struck up a conversation and offered his help, having known his way around farmland enough. All in all, he isn't worried about silly little America learning he's in love with Iowa, let him do whatever it won't change his feelings.
Japan: Kiku isn't worried at all about America. He's had a bittersweet on again off again with Hawaii long long before they forcefully became an American state. The distance makes it rough along with time differences, but Kiku is determined to show his love his feelings, with no regard to their "older brother".
Germany: Ludwig is nervous about every second of the day that his thoughts wander to that of the little state of Rhode Island(I love you Rhode Island, you're about as small as I am). Even though it's just his thoughts he believes the more he thinks of them the more America may find out. But the New England state has completely encaptured his heart. The chill of the sea during their dates and the fresh seafood is something he could never forget in his life if he tried.
Italy: Feliciano probably tells America himself the second he realizes his feelings. "Hey America, I'm in love with New Jersey!" "But, isn't like New Jersey 80% Italian already?"(JeRsEy I lOvE yOu, wildwood is great). Regardless Feli flies to the smaller state as often as he can, making any and every excuse he possibly can. "it's cheaper to stay in jersey when you want to visit New York!" He's quite obvious in his flirting too.
