Unexpected Visitors

Portugal woke up to an extremely luxurious breakfast set on one certain morning. His appointed page (butler) gave him a small note with Thailand's handwriting on it. He was a bit surprised since the boy had never left him alone, even for a day.

'Portugal, I'm very sorry I can't join you for breakfast. There's someone I have to pick up at the port today. Also, I sent you an invitation for tonight's ball together with this note. I'll be back by the afternoon for preparation.

I've read your trading list and had all of them loaded in your ships. There's still many more stuff that I think might interest you in the market. My butler will be your guide for today.'

'Still…' Portugal pouted 'What's with today's breakfast?'

'We usually begin the celebration even before the actual party start. The meals also have to be specially prepared.' the butler started to serve Portugal 'a dinner-portion' breakfast.

'I'm sorry to tell you this but I don't think I can finish them all'

'That's fine if you can't finish them, sir. But I'm worried that you might get hungry before lunch time. Especially we're going on a trip today and there will be no…' the butler kept on talking even Portugal didn't pay attention to him anymore.

'If I finish all this, I might not get hungry again for the next three days' he sighed.

-At the sea port-

Thailand was fidgeting as he repeatedly mumbling to himself.

'I was walking in the forest and then a huge tiger came out, …and then the tiger threatened to eat me if I… don't give him my glasses,… and…then..I gave away my glasses and got out of the forest, and then I met…'

'ME?' a voice jingled from behind Thailand's back.

'Yeah, and since he's been staying at my house all this t…huh?' Thailand turned. A boy, a little higher than him but still around his age, was smiling brightly back at him. His right hand was holding out a HUGE tomato while his left occupied by a bitten one.

'Tomate? It's the best for breakfast' a lightly tanned skin boy beamed.

Thailand was lost for words. He completely forgot those lines he took so much effort to memorize. The boy suddenly stuffed a tomato into his hands, gave him a wink before he turned to leave.

'Who's that guy?' were the only words that successfully escaped his lips.

'THAILANDDDD~~' China ran toward the boy with full speed. His hand was holding a bag full of snacks. 'I brought your favorite dried peach~~ GAH! Thailand! What are you eating?'

The boy beamed but said nothing as he kept chomping down the tomato. His cheeks were stained with its juice but he didn't seem to care for it. China tried to take away the rest but Thailand finished it in one gulp. The older country was screaming lectures at him as he wiped clean the boy's face.

'Who gave you that red thing, aru? It looks so red it doesn't feel safe to eat. You should stick with my dried peach, aru~' he puckered at the boy but then turned back quickly, dragging two boys to the front.

'Hongkong, where're the girls?' China looked so troubled that it seemed he was so ready to start running around in panic.

'I'll introduce myself now. I'm Korea and dried peaches are originated from my place. Be sure to thank me before you eat them.' The boy straightened up. He smirked at Thailand then turned to the other boy next to China.

'His name is Hongkong. He's my big brother's little brother.' Hongkong nodded slowly but said nothing afterward.

'So he's your sibling?' Thailand gave Korea a fade smile as he tried to un-riddle the other boy's introduction.

'Yeah, but I'm the coolest one of them all' Korea grinned wider. The corner of Thailand's lips jerked for a second before he smiled.

'Why don't you say Hongkong is your brother from the first place?' Thailand managed to keep the smile on his face.

Portugal got his eyes on a rare herbal tea. He wasn't really expected to see such a thing here at Thailand's place so it was a big surprise for him. Just when he was going to pay for it, a jolly boy came bolting his way.

'Brother! Big brother~~~!' a familiar tone that Portugal heard over ten times a day whenever he went back home alarmed throughout the whole market place. He turned, in disbelief, to see a teenage boy with a tomato in his hand splinted into him for a hug.

'I've been looking for you everywhere. I even went to India since your boss said you were with him.'

'Ahh~ Yeah, I was supposed to be there but something happened and I ended staying here instead. But…never mind me, what are you doing here? What about Romano chan?'

'That's why we have to hurry back home. I can't leave my little Romano home alone too long or else my house would be wrecked into pieces by the time I got back'

'Pfttt, that sounds nice too' Portugal couldn't hold back the laugh when he started to picture Romano in a little maid costume, trying to brush clean the bookshelf (but instead, he ended up cleaning all the books from the shelf). Spain plunged him in the abs, turning the older country a bit green in the face.

'Come on! I know you already loaded your ships. Let's get back now' the Spaniard was stubborn as ever. He was clinging (and dragging) onto Portugal's arm. The other country gave him a low moan, hands on his stomach.

'Not now, at least not today' a soft pant from Portugal. The boy pulled his brows closer together.

'Why?'

''Cause it's Thailand's birthday and I want to get him something nice'

'Something like what? And who's Thailand anyway?'

Portugal didn't answer the questions. He was staring at Spain's travel compass with a brilliant idea lighting up in his head. He turned to Spain and grabbed the boy's hand.

'Well, I promise I'll go back with you after the ball if you give that to me'.
