#hetalia fluff

-the second he hears your voice, he pauses like he got hit by a whole freight train that veered off the rails.

-He probably stalks listens to you sing for a little longer than necessary before he finally musters up the courage to go in the room.

-And even then, he's still mesmerized by you.

-He'd probably mumble to you about how your voice is amazing, and that he'd like to hear it more.

-he'd do all this with a huge blush on his face, trying his best not to stutter in front of you.

-If you're a really good singer (or even if not) he'll randomly start to ask you to sing for him!

-and if you're an okay or mediocre singer, HELL STILL ASK!! -this man loves you, and he just wants to be the only person you notice and pay attention to!

America:

-Al probably would be so impressed. -I see him as being an okay singer, but NOT the best. He can really only sing the anthem.

-now, when Al is a yandere, he is more or less for wanting to know every little detail about you.

-so hearing you sing when you think nobody is listening is like a dream come true!

-if you're really good at it, he'll probably just watch/listen for a long time, mesmerized by how beautiful your voice is.

-and then he'd try to make you sing to his face.

-he'd push and push until you gave in so he could praise your voice to your face!

England:

-He tries to be a gentleman. -he tries not to stalk, not to be obsessive.

-he fails miserably btw.

-if he ended up even getting the smallest bit of hearing you sing?

-he would be over the moon.

-if you're a bad singer, he wouldn't even mind. He's honestly happy just as long as you are happy and he gets to be the only one to hear your voice!

-but if you're a good singer?? He will try so hard to bring music into conversations, trying to slowly get you to open up, making you sing to him on your own.

-He still tries to be a gentleman. He won't push.. just.. nudging you in the right direction.

-and if anybody has anything to say about how you sound? He will personally put that person in their rightful place.

-this man would NOT be afraid to show where his shoe fits if provoked.

France:

-this man is NOT subtle.

-he hears you singing and is so overjoyed.

-even if you're mediocre, he honestly just loves hearing your singing, as it seems personal and open.

-he'll listen for a while before barging in and showering you with praises.

-this man truly believes that if you get enough praise you'll stop being shy.

-which might actually end up happening if we're being honest.

-France tries his best to not be TOO pushy, but totally fails whenever he hears a song he would love to hear in your voice!

-maybe he wants to be the one you sing to the most or at all

Russia:

-Now, Russia doesn't really understand social stuff.

-I mean, people are terrified of this guy and he's just like a big murderous teddy bear!!

-To him, he just wants to be friends, and all he knows how to do is threaten people.

-but he really loves you and is so confused on why you seem so happy singing, but have never done it in front of anybody!

-to him, your voice is an angelic sound, and he can't help but watch and listen as you sing.

-this man would walk in after you finished the song you were on and just give you the biggest bear hug istg

-he wouldn't even care if your voice had cracked or was quiet, he would tell you that he had never heard anything better.

-and to him it was true

-he might even ask why you never did it for others! ... though he's not complaining that he gets to be the only one to hear it.

China:

-China to me seems more like somebody who is also less subtle.

-he won't embarrass you, but he also won't hide the fact that he heard you and likes your voice.

-he would try to make you more confident, and also ask for you to sing traditional Chinese songs!

-he honestly wants you to feel better about yourself

-HES SO SWEET ABOUT IT TOO!

-like he may be old

-HE STILL A BABBYYYYY

-And if you do end up singing songs in his language (especially if they are traditional), he will be overjoyed!

Italy:

-Oh my god he is LITERALLY baby!

-he'll be so happy if he hears you sing

-he's probably never heard you sing before, so this is a first for him!

-he'll rush in, speaking quickly and happily, calling your voice so amazing.

-he'll probably ask why he's never heard you sing before.

-and get really sad if you try to say anything bad about your voice.

-to him, your voice is like literal heaven, how could anybody ever hate that voice of yours???????

-he'll probably ask for you to sing Italian songs, or even teach you his favorite songs.

-he won't be TOO pushy...

-but this is Italy we are talking about, he's gonna be pushy in some ways.

Germany:

-this man may seem mean and heartless, but he is such a cutie!

-he probably accidentally walks in on you singing

-he probably doesn't even recognize it's you until he peeks around the corner to see your face as you sing.

-and he's actually pretty surprised.

-he didn't expect it

-he kinda assumed he knew most everything about you.

-He isn't one to push, even if he truly liked it, but he would end up complimenting it.

-he wants you to know that he loves every part of you.

-and your singing is just a bonus to him!

-Kiku is a bit shy, but overall, again, A CUTIE!

-he would probably be looking for you

-and when he heard singing, he's confused and decides to see who is singing

-when he sees it's you, he'll probably stay quiet for a bit or until you notice him.

-if you don't notice him in time, he'll gently stop you to tell you that you sound amazing!

-this is the first time he's heard you sing and he honestly thinks it's great.

-he's a bit shy, but if you've been together a while, he'd probably be a bit more straightforward with how he feels.

-but he'd be willing to help you get better

-only if you'd want his help, though!!

belgium / ‘bella’

she quite enjoys baking for you, and loves how much you love the food she makes for you, so as her partner you’re pretty much guaranteed a steady supply of fantastic baked goods — mainly waffles, but she’ll also learn how to make your favourites (and how to alter her recipes to accommodate you if you happen to have any intolerances or allergies)

while she does usually just call you by your first name, on occasion she might call you something like ‘mop/moppie’ or ‘amour’ — or another traditional term of endearment in flemish or french

her generally friendly demeanour means that she’s sure to leave your loved ones with a positive impression of her — and, likewise, her previous gushing about how happy she is with you all but guarantees that you’ll have her siblings’ approval after your first meeting with them

quality time is important to her so the two of you do your best to have at least one day each week where you totally disconnect from everything else and just focus on each other — on existing in the moment, being in love, and having fun — and so far its had a very positive impact on your relationship

actual arguments with her are very rare as she’s big on communication and an ‘us vs the problem’ approach to disagreements, refusing to raise her voice and always trying to find common ground — which makes it markedly more difficult to stay upset with her

her favourite places to kiss you are your fingertips and your cheeks — other than your lips, of course

hungary / elizabeta héderváry

while she’s not as tomboyish as she used to be, if you catch her in an exceptionally playful mood she can be convinced to roughhouse, wrestle, or play fight with you — but for as out of practice as she may be, elizabeta rarely ever loses… so bear that in mind when you challenge her to a fight

uses a lot of pet names for you when you’re together, but her favourites to use with you are ‘édesem’ and ‘szívem’ — with ‘bébi’ also being one that you’ll hear quite often when you’re running errands together

she is protective and not afraid to go back to her old ways and fight anyone who she perceives as trying to harm or upset you — she has dented several of her pans over the course of your relationship because of this, but she insists she doesn’t mind replacing them

as far as flirting goes, she’s more about wooing you and sweeping you off of your feet than just complimenting or flattering you — though that might be her age talking given that she’s… like… a good few hundred years old now…

she has embroidered clothing and accessories for you in the past and loves it when you wear them out — very firmly believes that you look your cutest wearing her traditional garb and you will not change her mind on the matter

“Hey Y/N! Which pizza are you trying to-” 

The sandy blonde looked up from his grocery list to see that you were several paces in front of him, trying to rush off to the other side of the store. You were itching to get past a cluster of people blocking your path. This allowed Alfred some time to catch up. 

“Yo! Y/N! What’s the rush? The freezer section is to the left not all the way in the back!” 

“Yeah, I know…I uh…” Your eyes were estimating how much closer you were to the aisle you were trying to get to. “I just want to grab something real quick. You don’t have to-” 

“Well, I want to come, darlin’; show me what you’re so eager to get to.” 

You bite down on your lip, and your pace begins to slow. Alfred notes this and moves to your side, with the cart still in front of him. 

“Why’d you slow down? You were moving at breakneck speed earlier.” He playfully pokes at your cheek.

“I…..” You still had a little ways to go before you were where you wanted to be. “There this series of plushies I’ve adored since I was a kid & there is this re-release…” Your hands nervously rubbed the fabric of your hoodie. “And I really want one of them that I haven’t been able to find for the past couple of years so I can finally add it to my collection.” 

“Aw, babe.” Alfred pulls you into a bear hug and tousles your hair. “Hop in the shopping cart! Let’s get to the toy aisle ASAP!” It will feel like you’re playing a live-action game of Mario Kart with how he runs and steers the basket.

As Matthew crossed out another errand that needed to be completed, he noticed that you’d been distracted by the directory. As he caught up with you, he couldn’t help but notice the excitement that began to blossom in your (eye color) eyes. His violet eyes trailed behind where yours were concentrating on. They landed on the specialty toy store that imported figurines from all across East Asia. 

“Y/N? Is that where you want to go next, maple?” 

You flinched a little when you realized that he was behind you. 

“Heh. Yeah…..” 

“Is everything alright Y/N?” 

“Yeah. I’m just worried about you judging me…. A little.” 

“Why would I do that, my sweet maple?” 

“Well, there is this one anime/manga series, and I have this collection of figurines that I’ve been trying to complete for almost ten years.” You turn your head to him so you can make eye contact with him. “And I’m just a little afraid you’ll like me less because of it. Or think I’m weird or something.” 

Matthew cocked his head to the side before he let out a polite giggle. 

“Oh, Y/N. I could never dislike you for something that makes you. YOU. Eh! Come on.” He grabbed your hand while he began to lead the way. “ I frequent this import shop. I know for a fact they just got in a new shipment this morning.” 

From there, Matthew will be comfortable enough to tell you that he comes here for all his oversized kawaii plushie needs for his secret room in his house. (He stays there when Alfred is visiting and needs to go MIA due to his social battery being dead.)

“Come now! We have to hurry, or we’ll miss the shop before it closes for the evening!” 

Yao’s grip on your hand tightened as you made your way through the congested pedestrian traffic. Your attention was split between trying to concentrate on keeping up with him and seeing if you could spot that street vendor you’d seen before. 

So far, there has been no such luck until you saw it. The unmistakable pastel blues, pinks, and yellows that decorated the cart. 

“There!” You said absent-mindedly as your eyes lit up like a lantern. 

“Hm? Y/N the shop is at least two more blocks upwards.” Yao began to notice that walking with you while holding hands was like trying to drag a boulder. 

“Y/N! If we don’t hurry then-” When he turned around to see what had halted you in your tracks, his amber eyes immediately took note of the iconic pastel sign which read: “Chen Family Fluffy Handmade Companions.” Yao realized the look in your eyes demanded you to go over. He was about to complain about missing the chance to buy the remaining ingredients he needed to make tonight's dinner. He stopped himself when he felt his stomach rumble. 

‘Yeah, maybe it would be better to eat out tonight. I haven’t eaten since breakfast & I don’t have the patience to cook anymore.’

“Come on Y/N. Let’s go see if they have that one sparkly light-up bunny plushie I’ve seen you be mesmerized by a couple of times.” 

“REALLY?!” 

“Yes, Y/N. The last five times we’ve been to the night market together, your eyes have been glued to it.” 

“Is it that obvious?” You blush while evading his gaze to look at other illuminated signs. 

“Yes, but I find it cute. Why not just ask me to get it for you?” 

“I….I dunno….” Red consumed not only your face but your neck too.

“You’re so adorable, Y/N.” Yao removed some of the hair that had fallen in your face and tucked it behind your ear. 

“Let’s go get you that plush, then grab some dinner.”

The calm early evening atmosphere of the small tea shop temporarily put your nerves at ease. However, the closer it got to 18:00, the more your eyes wandered from your phone to the cobblestone, back to your high tea. Every few minutes, you’d see someone roaming in Brilliant Bright Bee merch. It was a small, internationally known brand of accessories and plushies that you had admired for a long time. 

Your eyes bounced back once more to the grandfather clock that was stationed near the entrance. 

“Y/N love? Is everything alright? You keep spacing out & seem antsy.” Arthur looks up at you from his Earl Grey tea. 

“Yes, I’m fine, Arthur really. It’s just…” Your eyes bound once again to the cobblestone path outside only to spot a cluster of 25-30 people all wearing similar BBB merch, outfits, and plushies. They were all headed in the same direction of one of the three BBB shops in all of the U.K.

‘With that group alone, they may clean out the entire shop….AND take all the Polar Bear n’ Bee  limited edition holiday plush I’ve been pining for since July!’ A frown had anchored itself to your face. 

Arthur’s eyes followed yours to look at the crowd that was beginning to head towards the Brilliant Bright Bee shop. 

“Looking at all those blokes preparing to battle it out over that new holiday collection from that popular indie brand.” As he spoke he noticed how your eyes had widened into cavernous pools of (eye color). They looked eager to join the battle. 

“Alright, love. Alright. But we get to redo high tea at midnight.” Arthur gives you a mischievous grin as he reaches for your right hand and places a scintillating kiss on it. 

“Pardon me, waitress! I need a shot of Expresso. I need to prepare myself for a retail bloodbath! Cheers!” 

[Arthur, my man Alfred’s energy be rubbing off on you. That or you are thinking bout yo pirate days ahahahah]

Walking hand in hand with your flamboyant Frenchman through the Parisian streets felt like a romance novel coming to life. 

“So where shall we end the night? By the river? In a late-night wine shop? On the balcony at home?” Francis was shooting off ideas since, thankfully, he didn’t have work tomorrow. 

[A certain British man drank too much booze & needed to get his stomach pumped. JK headcannoning the reason he doesn’t drink caffeine is that while he benefits for the first five hours after having expresso of any kind later on he will be praying to the porcelain god for the next day.] 

You weren’t really concentrating on much of what Francis was chattering about. You’d gotten distracted by an ad that was for these handmade bears that would have a special charm sewn into them said to bring good luck. 

“Y/N, what could possibly be taking your attention away from Moi?” Francis says while playfully snatching your phone. When his blues land on the familiar stitching logo of the toymaker a Cheshire cat-like grin adorns his place. 

“Y/N, you didn’t tell me that you liked patches d’amour (loving patches)! I know some of the people who design and craft the bears….” Francis watched your face transition from shock to pleasantly surprised he knew being flashy in this instance was better. 

“I can pull some strings & get you one mi’amour.” He pulled you in close so he could plant a kiss on your forehead. Brimming over with happiness, you almost knocked Francis over when you thanked him with a big bear hug.

“Which coat do you think looks better with my scarf Y/N?” Ivan placed one coat over the other as he looked at the floor-length mirror. Originally your attention was completely on him as you helped him find a new Winter coat. 

However, you gradually became more distracted. You continued to roam toward the front of the store & stay there for extended periods of time. Ivan heard your familiar footsteps rush back towards him near the dressing rooms. 

“Sorry about that, Ivan! I was just browning some other stuff that caught my eye!” When you turned the corner, Ivan’s violet orbs landed on your smaller figure. He could see that sweat beads were forming at the top of your forehead due to running back and forth so much. 

“Eye, see what you mean. It must be a ball because you run like dog to catch it.” Ivan says through a bright smile. 

“That's a very fetching joke.” You walk closer behind him. You get onto your tip toes so you can pinch his big nose. “But also, the coat in your left hand is very fetching too.” You rubbed your nose against his, before giving it a quick peck. 

“Thanks Y/N. But, seriously, what are you looking at, sunflower?” 

“Promise you won’t laugh?” Looking at him with a slight pout which Ivan always found amusing. 

“Da. Now tell me.” 

“Sooooo. You know that build-a-bear across the way?” 

“Da.” Immediately knows where you’re going with this. 

“They just dropped the seasonal sing-a-long Holiday Bear & I really want it!” 

Ivan giggles. 

“Hey! You promised not to laugh!” 

“Not at you or in a mocking way Y/N. You are the cuteness just like the things you want. Come.” 

Ivan tossed you over his shoulder.
