(And breifly America ;D Also sorry for the title and didn't really know which location to put it in)
Levi Chertok thought of the most relaxing things that gave him comfort. A nice beautiful sunset over top of the Israeli mountain tops, the soft and very soothing sound of a guitar playing simple cords, the smell of vanilla beans that were always so sweet. He thought these over in silence playing them over and over again until his eyes reopened to show that he was just as shaken as when he closed them.
"It's not working America." When he was told he should calm down and think of something to relax him, he did just that thinking of his three favorite things that his dangerous country offered as some level of comfort to him. And yet it seemed to only make his nerves even more so rattled. Breathing hard, his eyes turned onto America while biting his bottom lip. That was a sure sign his nerves were racked seeing how he never bit his lips unless he was under some sort of distress. And right now could be counted as one.
"What...What is she gets angry...what if that second personality comes out...America I am not strong enough to handle her." The 'her' he was referring to was Czech Republic, the woman he had been madly in love with for years and years since he first saw her. And Levi had no qualms with stating openly that she could kick his ass easily; it was the truth and he was no lyer, espcially to his friends.
Taking in a deep breath his eyes darted to his blond, American friend then flashed an unsure smile. "You an your crazy ideas."

America smirked. He knew Israel would be nervous over the blind date, but he couldn't help his feeling that it was for the best. The date, anyway. His friend was obviously crushing after Czech (if the kiss didn't prove anything), and...well, America wasn't sure how Czech felt about him, but it surely must have been all right. After all, she took the time to kiss his cheek later, and she seemed pretty close with him.
"Man, this crazy idea is gonna work. I mean, they all do, but this one especially!" He patted Israel's shoulder and stood up, checking his watch. Czech should be there any minute now, and though America was certain that she already knew who she was meeting up with, he wanted there to be an element of surprise.
"And that second personality hasn't come out in a while. Thanks to me." He smirked and tapped at his watch, willing it to go faster. "'Sides, it only comes out when she's actually in harm's way. So long as you don't run at her with a knife or something, everything should go well. She's strong, but she's not a bitch; she'll treat you right, I promise."
He took a few steps backwards, grinning. "You two are gonna be so perfect together! And when you say your wedding vows, be sure to mention my assistance."

Czech hadn't the slightest clue as to what America 's intentions were of their conversation that very morning. He had requested her to meet him at the commons, and dress up nice. She had no idea what he was planning nor had any wish to participate due to the the mischevious look in his eyes. But like always, she could never refuse such big puppy dog eyes and was persuaed to do as he had asked.
That afternoon she pulled out a short black, lowcut dress she had packed in her luggage. She observed it and realizing it was far too risque, modifyed it better. She now sported it, adding medium length black sleeves, and a longer skirt that reached just past her knees and proved to be less skintight than before she fixed it up. The low cut part of the dress could not be helped seeing how she ran out of the same fabric and thus was stuck with it. She even took time to do her hair, pulling it back just slightly and pinning her bangs back allowing her eyes to be seen perfectly.
Pushing a stray strand of hair from her eyes she walked into the commons, wearing simple black flat shoes her face turning pink, feeling embaressed to be seen wearing it, even if it was modest by most standards. Her eyes fell to her watch and smiled, right on time. Being as punctual as she were it pleased her to no end to be on time for something even if she was unaware of what the engagement was. Her eyes trailed up seeing America was where he said he be but the person she saw next to him made her come to a complete halt. Israel was his name, and she knew him very well...as a close friend as well as an admirer from what his constant attempts to kiss her told her. Her very sharp eyes observed in silence, seeing a very nerious look on his face as he attempted to calm down and America flashing a cocky grin. Her even sharper ears heard America's last comment about wedding vows and knew exactly what the intent of this was. A one sided blind date.
Shock and panic filled her to the core, turning on her heel and very slowly and very quietly started to walk off praying that the two didn't catch sight of her or else she'd probably attempt to make a run for it!

Forcing himself to take anoth deep breath, Israel looked up at America while giving a large smile. "Yes she told me herself...and lets just say thats a relief...now whenever she comes to visit my nation she won't be at everyone's throats with a knife!" And who could blame her? When she did come to visit, Palestine or Syria would always try to do something to ruin his time with her, and every time always resulted in her split personality to reer its ugly head. He shook his head, a small note of playful envy in his eyes. "Is there anything you can't do?" His dark cheeks suddenly got darker from the mention of wedding vows and yet a small goofy smile couldn't help but form on his face at the very thought of Czechia becoming his wife, then a rather bitter look came over him. "I doubt she'll want any of that...she told me so when I first confessed my affects to her...she said that she had been made unclean by other nations and thinks she would not be pure enough to be anyone's wife." Her culture was rather simular to his within his nation when it came to marriage...the woman should be a virgin before married to a man otherwise they would be labled a slut. But Israel did not care for that...it wasn't her fault that it had happened and would not let something like that keep him from the pure feelings he felt for her.
Turning back to America he flashed a grin. "But should I ever have the pleasure to call Julka my wife, I would have you as my best man." He tried to turn the very gloomy part of the conversation happy and hopeful once more, knowing very well how depressing topics tended to rub Alfred the wrong way. And he was telling the truth, he would have Alfred as his best man, seeing how he didn't really have any other best friends who were male and besides should this crazy idea work (not that he was doubting America to say the least), Alfred would be the perfect man to be by his side. But chances were that was never going to happen. He would at least like to gain her affections back!
He proceed to tap his foot and scratch his chin that was still in need of a shaving but not so much so that it was too noticable but what was noticable was his impatience. He wanted her to come as soon as possible while he still had some nerves left! But then he could of sworn he he heard the sound of a pair of feet trying to walk away. His eyes slowly looked off and saw who the culprit was then sighed and shook his head with a small bitter smile. "You still think this will work America?" He pointed to the direction to where Czech was currently trying to sneak away. Seemed as though his hoping was all but futile.

With a grin, America quickly nodded. He knew he would be a good best man, and he was so proud that Israel actually took the time to think of him. It was rare that countries got married out of love (not really rare as much as it was extinct; from what America knew, none of the countries - or, at least, the ones he was close to - were married out of love), and America would be ecstatic to see it happen. While he didn't believe they should marry any time soon, at least until the world was running the way it should, he would always still look forward to the day where he could watch a happy couple say their "I do's" while staring lovingly into each others eyes.
Plus, he could look forward even more so to the day where he would be able to do it.
But, of course, this was Israel's date, not his own, so he quickly rid his mind of all thoughts England and focused on making sure Czech would arrive the time he told her to. He was so engrossed on making sure his watch wasn't going too fast when he heard Israel speak once more, and he glanced up to see Czech trying to sneak away. Luckily, her back was facing them, so America quickly crept up on her and clapped a large hand on her shoulder, grinning.
"Czech, nice to see you here!" he exclaimed. "Blind dates are fun, right? Man, I love 'em!" Well, he loved watching other people on blind dates. He had never been on one himself, but from all that he had seen, it looked hilarious. "Let's turn around, and-" He spun her to face the Middle Eastern country, then gestured wildly with his free hand, the one that wasn't holding onto Czech. "Surprise! You get a free date with the one and only Israel!" He began to lead her over to the couch, humming softly. "He's got it all, my dear; the looks, the social skills, and the, uh..." He was running out of ideas. "And the heart. Boy, has he got a heart!"
He was only talking so much so that Czech couldn't blurt out some excuse to leave before the date even started.
"Now, sit right here-" He sat her down next to Israel, winking at his friend. "And get on with the date!"
Before he left, though, he turned to Israel and raised his eyebrows. "Am I supposed to bring you guys food, or is this good?" He did manage to clear the common room for an hour, and he also managed to actually bring Czech to the date, so he supposed that was good enough. However, if they needed an icebreaker, he was always willing to gather food for his friends, just to make sure the date went on smoothly.

Czech froze when she felt a hand grab her by the shoulder making her hold in a squeal of suprise as she turned slowlyto give rather sheepih look to America. "Uh--Uh...Ahoj America! Um I hate to be a bother but um..."He never even gave her a chance to say her lousy excuse as to way she couldn't attend this date. She had a feeling he knew she'd try to weasel out of it like a coward. She was spun around as her eyes met with Israel's and her face shot up red looking ready to make that run for it but found she was unable to, thanks to his strong grip onhrshe stated to lead her to te couch. Czech found her eyes narrowing slowly up at America as he started to go on about Israel, the look clearly stating; 'I'll kill you for this'.
Before she could reach up and grab hold of his ear to scold him directly in it, she found herself pushed onto he couch and forced to sit uncomfortablely close to Israel making her face turn redder than before. She didn't even bother with hearing his question to them, only focusing on the heartbeat that was pounding continuously in he thoat and her ears. When he had left she looked up slightly and once seeing how close she was to Israel, scooted away while trying to hide her face. Silence came over the two, Czech fiddling with her hands, wishing she had a scarf around her neck that she could fiddle with instead. At last she managed to think of the first thing to say to him.
"Tell me Levi...was this your idea, or America's?"

A sense of nervousness touched Levi once seeing the dangerous look in Julka's eyes while glaring up at ALfred. He had to wonder what was in store for the obviously absent minded American who was in Czech's sight. He knew America could not hit a woman so when she did intend to strike America would be totally at her mercyl the price for being a gentleman. The beating never came however as she was forced to sit down next to him in a too close for comfort way making him freeze along with her.
He turned his head to face her finding their noses practically touching each other. He swalloweed hard feeling the limp start to form in his throat as his eyes slowly trailed down to the lack of favric covering her chest. He mentally slapped himself in the headforcing his eyes to meet back with her's. He could not go ruining this chance just because of horomones!
"S--sure America, do whatever you want to..." To be perfectly honest Israel didn't even hear a word America said, far too focused on the red head's lovely blue eyes. She looked away and he did the same finding his cheeks were just as hot as hers while bitting his bottom lip furiously. His eyes turned when she spoke to him finding himself so surprised that he drew blood after a rather hard bite. Running his fingers through his hair he gave her a very sheepish smile. "Well I um...it was America's idea." He admitted like the boy who was coming clean about helping a boy cheat on a test.
"But I never meant any ill intent," He added even more quick as he took her hands his giving her a sincere gaze to show he meant it. "I just...really wanted t spend some time with you is all."

Czech nodded quietly, calming down when realising it was just another hair brained scheme of his. "The silly goofball." She remarked with a giggle while shaking her head at the silliness yet undeniable sweetness of it all. "He's such a cute kid just like..." Her words fell short when her hands were taken into his making her gaze up slowly while her cheeks began to blush rosy red again. Seeing the blood made her stop short from commenting about his reasoning seeing it was beginning to form a small, red line from his lip to down his chin.
"Did you bite your lip again?" Pulling out a white kerchief literally from no where she began to clean him of the stray blood with a very warm smile on her face. "Well if you wanted to spend some time with me, you should have just asked!" She cried referring to his previous comment. "Better to do that than to fall into our American friend's antics!" She continued until he was clean giving a nod to show she was pleased. Her eyes fell down to the blood on the pure white cloth forever stained making her frimace yet something about its image seemed to disturb her.
Her eye lingered then froze as an image of blood staining the snow with a pool of blood surrounding her limp body that laid on the once pure white ground. She shook her head violently while shuddering at the very thought of it making her suddenly drop the kerchief. Her eyes shot up to Israel her face blushing once more. "I--I'm sorry...I--I think I'm cold...tht's all." She said the fastest excuse she could think of to excuse her shuddering.

Once he was certain that Czech wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, America smirked, then waited for Israel to do the rest. After all, it wouldn't do well to cut into their date, would it? He decided to just watch the events unfold and wait for his turn to leave; dates were useless if there was a third wheel involved. Plus, he had much better things to do than to watch Israel act all lovey-dovey over Czech.
Even though that was actually really sweet, and slightly fun.
It was only when Israel told him to do whatever he wanted that America grinned and started to back away. "Sure thing! You two have fun now, all right?" With one last glance, he turned and left, making it his goal to get Czech just as smitten with Israel as he was with her. (Though, from the looks of it, Czech was falling without his help.)

He doubted she'd agree to meet him here had he asked her for a date. He had asked her before and yet she always found some excuse t ditch him or just flat out rejected him. At times he felt rather insulted by such behaviour but kept it to himself knowing it best to let her have her space and be hopeful for next time. But she was here now and he needed to be sure to make the best lasting impression with this date. Israel foze when her hand touched his and cleaned the blood off his face. He blushed from the fact that she had to clean him up from his terrible habit yet also felt ecstatic that she was actually touching him. Really how childish could he get? When she finished he smiled, his cheeks feeling rosy when seeing that she was smiling back at him.
He froze however when she shuddered violently causing the white cloth, stained in his blood to fall to the floor. Reaching down, he picked it up and proceeded to fold it up neatly all the while stealing glances to Czech to see obvious goose bumps covering her bare arms. He paused from his task to wonder what was wrong with her. She looked up to him and he listened to her explanation as to why she was like this to which he knew exactly what to do.
"Here." Setting the now folded cloth he took her hands in his as he began to rub them feeling that they were indeed ice cold. "I'll warm them for you." He proceeded to rub her hands in his before leaning his lips down to kiss hand tenderly giving a rather sneaky smile while doing so.

A very red blush touched Czech's face when her hands were taken into Israel's once more. Avoiding eye contact, she kept her blue pools down on her pale hands in his darker ones feeling them gently careers her despite the fact she knew they were rough and worn from work. Her heart sped in her chest all the while wondering what was happening. Though her heart raced it felt kind of nice for her.
His soft lips pressed against her skin making them warm her hand at once as well as the rest of her body while her eyes remained as wide as saucers. She composed herself from a potential outburst and gently pulled her hands from out of his in order to smooth out her skirt. She then flashed him a very polite smile and a nod that was to serve as a thank you while fighting to calm her heartbeat down.
"Thank you Levi...but I feel better now...thank you." She swallowed hard fighting down her apparent nervousness in front of him, pushing aside two strands of loose hair from her pinned back bangs in order to distract herself. A silence came over them, one that very awkward. Finally she decided to start up a casual conversation.
"So um...how are your brother and sister?" She mentally slapped herself. Really? She asked about his siblings? Really she was desperate for an icebreaker at the moment!

Her hands were yanked away from his as well as his lips making him look up in surprise only to watch them smooth out her skirt. He watched her while he avoided eye contact with him and then observed her while she thanked him for his services. He knew why she pulled back, it was because she didn't want to be touched by him. Frankly he felt very insulted by the fact, so much so his hands clenched to his sides forcing the nails to dig into his skin just to calm him down.
When angry he could get a little out of control.
The silence that fell over them was broken when she asked him about his siblings. He grimace; Syria and Palestine, where did he begin with those two? Ever since he had been made a nation his older sister Syria was threatening him as well as dominating him while their little brother Palestine was busy beating the holy shit out of him in an attempt to mimic their sister's attempts to overpower him. Really just thinking about them made him feel pissed, but he calmed down knowing that he should give Julka an answer.
"They are fine last I checked." He said rather flatly. "Syria is still a stuck up bitch, Palestine is still a little savage...literally nothing has changed about them." His eyes turned to Julka now as he got a very miscevious smile. "How are those brothers of yours? Still keeping the key to your chastity belt?"

Julka nodded to him as he answered her question not really liking the way he was describing them in such vulgar details but allowed it to slid having met Syria and Palestine and knowing how mosterous they could be. They really were something, when she saw them individually they were rather pleasant and civilized but when you put all three together? Hell it was like another World War for her. That was why she usually avoided paying visits to Israel's home, knowing that she only served as another tool for instigation. It was usually Levi who would come visit her in her peace loving land. She wasn't the third most peaceful country in Europe for nothing!
Now came to the subject of her brothers which she was very happy to oblige seeing how she loved her brothers very dearly, that is until she heard the last sentence to his question and choked on her own breath. Her eyes turned to Israel glaring dangerously, but once seeing that he was only teasing she relaxed just slightly though she did seem a little miffed by the inapropriate comment.
"Feliks I don't know where he his...I only pray that he is safe and sound the silly airhead." She wasn't about to lie about what her brother was. "Gabriel is here safe and sound with me." She spoke very fondly of her younger twin; being the eldest made her feel like it was her duty to protect him even if she coddled him a little too much for his comfort. The two however were still thick as thieves, though Gabriel proved to be slightly annoying with his own desire to be protective of her.
"Gabriel is still...protective as usual...hell if he knew about this date he'd probably strangle you!"

Levi found her look so humorous that he gave a hearty laugh, she was always good for a giggle or two. When she calmed down and told him of her two brothers he couldn't help but smile; he thought it was undeniably sweet having never felt warmth that can be given from brothers and or sisters that love you. She then mentioned Gabriel and a shiver ran down his spine. He knew Julka's brother all too well; the first time he'd ever kiss Julka the little brat punched him in the face, kneed him in the ribs, and then proceeded to threaten him that if he dared to touch his sister again he'd kill him. Of course that never stopped him from placing his affections onto his sister. And that never stopped Gabriel from beating the crap out of him.
"Yes I'm sure he would." His hands reached up and traced his neck carefully, casting a very cautious look over his shoulder just in case the crazy Slovakian decided to show up. It wasn't like he'd put it past him. His eyes turned back to Julka giving her a very warm smile.
"You are a very good sister to him Julka...in fact you almost act like a mother towards him!" This was indeed true; he had always noticed how his beloved acted towards the likes of the younger nations as well as little children in general. Whenever she did visit his nation (rare as it was), she would fill her pockets the brim with homemade candies and handed them out to each one of the little ones who were either orphans or homeless then would take time to sit down and brush every little girl who would gather around to brush and braid their hair which they all loved so much. That was why he loved her, she was so sweet and considerate and loved children.
"Speaking of children, the little ones in my nation miss you. They keep asking where is Miss Czech Republic?" It had been a long time since her last visit and the children seemed to have noticed it just as much as he did.

Julka smiled happily at the mention of the children. Oh how she loved them; an old lady like her just couldn't resist the urge to spoil them. In her nation children would of crowded around her, begging for her to pick the up and to give them piggyback rides as well as request candy after asking their parents if they were allowed to. Really they were her joy. She loved every child she met and they in turn loved her.
Even the most wild and unruly of children would calm down and listen to her when she would take them kicking and screaming onto her lap, push their hair aside (if any) to plant a kiss on their foreheads which calmed them down and made them fall in love with her. They would call her 'Maminka Julka' which meant 'Mother Julka' which she accepted at once loving to be called mother over and over again.
But then there was always a downside when with the children. Each one had a home to go to...each child that she would dedicate her free time to would eventually leave her to their rightful parents. Just once, just once she wished that one of those children could belong to her. That one of them would stay behind looking up at her while smiling and calling her 'Mama'. She wished she could have a child of her own that she could cook for, teach the family traditions, tell stories that her mother use to tell her before kissing them goodnight for bed. But most of all...she wished to have a child to give all of her love and dedication to. That was her wish.
"W--well I'll just have to make a special trip for them!" Her voiced sounded uneven and the look in her eyes seem to show deep pain. Children were always one of the most painful things for her to think about seeing how it was an unattainable dream for her which made it all the more painful.
