For some reason I feel like I need to apologise for drawing something so self indulgent so... Sorry? 😅

Thanks for the request! I decided to go with some RomEng because there isn't enough of them XD

“But Arthur, why not?” Arthur taunted, in a high-pitched mocking impression of his boyfriends voice. “But Arthur, I’m sure nothing will go wrong. Nothing will go wrong, my arse!” He ducked behind the sofa as a chessboard hurtled across the room. Though he glared as the pieces clattered and scattered to the floor, he reached to tightly grasp Vlad’s hand. “This, this is why we don’t use Ouija boards!”

Vlad craned his neck around, peering over the back of the sofa to see what the poltergeists were doing, and yelped as something flew past his head. “Well, you didn’t have to insult them!” He insisted in a frantic whisper.

“Hmph.” Arthur tried to look dismissive, as if he couldn’t care less. But the protective arm he’d placed across Vlad’s body when he heard him shout showed that the opposite was true. “I’ll have to exorcise them,” he mumbled, glancing over to his bookcase of spellbooks, which would be near impossible to reach without being pelted with attacks from the invisible spirits.

“Are you sure you don’t want to call Even? Or Larysa? They’d be able to deal with this.” Vlad suggested.

“I can handle this situation just as well as either of them could, thank you very much,” Arthur grumbled. At the lack of response from Vlad, he turned only to see him smirking.

“Arthur…” Vlad teased, his tone coy and his eyes glinting. “Are you jealous?”

“Pfft. What? No, of course not.” Arthur flushed. “I just don’t think it’s worth calling anyone over here when I can do this myself.”

Vlad shook his head softly, tilting it to let his fringe fall across his face. “Oh, I think you are… just a little bit.” He brushed his fingers over Arthur’s cheek.

“Vlad, stop trying to distract me, I need to deal with this,” Arthur muttered, though he leaned into Vlad’s touch, blinking slowly. Slowly, he brushed the strands out of Vlad’s eyes, letting the soft tawny hair fall through his fingers.

“Actually.” Vlad pulled away from him, leaving Arthur with a strange sense of cold that he tried to push down immediately. “Why have they stopped?”

“Vlad, don’t-” Arthur reached to stop him from standing up, but the other shrugged him off.

To Arthur’s surprise, Vlad’s face broke into a smile as he looked across the room. “Even! Larysa! What are you guys doing here?”

As Arthur got to his feet, he saw Larysa slip a wand back inside her long leather boot, and Even slide his magical cross clip back into his hair.

“Viktor called us and said he’d heard noise from your flat. Thought you might’ve summoned something we’d have to deal with.” Even shrugged.

“They were rookie level poltergeists,” Larysa teased. “Only took a wave of my wand, I’m surprised you didn’t deal with them yourself.”

Lukas smiles and sets down his phone, heading outside to plan his surprise for the evening.

A little more than two hours later, everything is set up perfectly. The garden is dotted with light, the trees appearing filled with stars. Fairy lights are strung from tree to tree, sparkling brightly in different colors.

Real fairies also lend their magic to the garden, their soft glow lighting what the fairy lights can't touch. A few unicorns are grazing at the grass nearby, their quiet nickers filling the air.

Lukas nods, a faint smile pulling at his lips. "It looks perfect." He says to the fairies, "Thank you all for doing this."

He receives a chorus from the fairies, all of them wanting him to know it's no trouble for them. They're always willing to help those that believe in them and can see them.

The Norwegian's smile widens and he heads inside, working to prepare a feast of Arthur and Vladimir's favorite foods as well as his own. That takes another hour and the sun is just beginning to set when he starts plating the food outside.

A quick wave of his wand and a simple charm combine to make sure the food will stay warm until the others arrive. Once everything is ready, Lukas pulls out his phone and texts the other Magic Trio members that they can make their way home now.

They both respond fairly quickly, each expressing their own degree of excitement for what the Norwegian has planned.

Lukas meets them at the door, two roses in hand. "Welcome home, mine kjære." He says, tucking the roses behind their ears, his heart warming at the soft blushes on their face.

"Are you two hungry?" Lukas looks between them. Arthur nods while Vladimir gives a fanged grin and a sharp nod. "Good. Come with me." He offers a hand to each, "Mind closing your eyes for me?"

Arthur and Vladimir give him a curious look and shut their eyes, letting him lead them to the garden. Their magical senses give them a clue that something's different about their yard, but they wait until Lukas tells them to open their eyes to see for themselves.

Emerald and ruby eyes widen as their owners look around in awe. "It's beautiful." Arthur breathes, Vlad giving a distracted nod in agreement.

"You did all this in three hours?!" Vladimir turns to Lukas when it sinks in and the Norwegian nods, a faint pink coloring his cheeks.

"Ja, I wanted to surprise you both."

Arthur turns to him with a soft smile, "Well, it looks amazing."

Lukas returns the smile a bit shyly, "Takk. Come on, let's eat."

He gets a nod from both nations and they walk over to the beautifully set table, Arthur and Vlad throwing him appreciative smiles when they see their favorite foods.

They spend the rest of the evening in the garden, even when all the food is gone. The trio ends up cuddled together on the grass looking up at the stars.

Turkey and Canada (married) got in a huge fight.

So did Portugal and France (also married).

Now, both fights were successfully resolved. However...

Norway divorced Japan.

Apparently Romania and England had an off-screen divorce last night.

Finally, one of the babies, Benji, fell in love with Ripper, my sister’s Mii. Now, I don’t want any of the characters dating me or Ripper, so I told him no and left him sad overnight. Soon after he got better, he asked if he could date Ripper again.
