It wasn't like he had been expecting him for going on three hours now. A light rain had started and dinner had gone cold and Japan found he couldn't bring himself to care much about either at the moment.
During the first hour, he'd told himself that something had come up. A travel delay or something simple like that. The second hour brought concerns of something more serious, or an important job that had come up last minute; surely he could call soon.
But now, as the third hour was ticking past without a phone call or anything, Japan was resigning himself to being forgotten. And he'd pulled out the best kotatsu too...
Dimming the lantern on his porch, he stepped back inside, closing the screen door behind himself. He looked to the kotastu, the cold food on top of it, and his puffy white kitten curled up on a pillow. It was going to be a painfully lonely night.
With a weary sigh Japan gave one last lingering look towards the door and started when at that very moment a knock on the frame resounded throughout the house. A familiar voice called out loudly. "Japan!"
Forgetting himself completely, Japan raced through the house and threw open the screen door; his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath.
There stood Greece, positively soaked and disheveled, on his doorstep.
"I'm sorry," he panted. Obviously, he had run to get there as well. "I overslept. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm so sorry, Japan. I... "
His words were cut off as Japan closed the distance between them, his arms wrapping around his waist and his head pressing against his damp chest.
"You didn't forget," he mumbled; a small smile on his lips.
Greece ran a tentative hand through Japan's hair, then after a moment, he pressed a chaste kiss to his forehead.
"I'd never forget you Japan."

He was waiting by the front gate again today, like he had been for the past few weeks. Japan had paused in the hallway, looking out the second story window to locate the brown-haired teen. Today he was awake as he waited, a kitten trailing around his ankles and mewing for attention.
As Greece stooped to pick the kitten up, Japan heard the squeals of delight from behind him. It was his female classmates, of course.
When Greece had first appeared at the front gate, all the girls had giggled and blushed and stared, each of them assuming the boy was there to look at them. It wasn't an odd assumption; Greece was clearly foreign and his uniform denoted that he was from another school. He had to have some reason for walking several blocks to wait outside the illustrious academy every day.
But as they soon realized, the tall boy with the thick Greek accent wasn't there for any of them.
"Hey, Japan-sempai!" One of the girls called over to him. "I think your friend noticed you."
Japan blinked, his eyes shifting from his classmate back out the window to where Greece was lazily waving at him.
Friend, he thought to himself with a blush. He was so thankful that they didn't assume more about his relationship with the foreign student.
Hurriedly, he tightened his grip on his schoolbag and headed down the stairs, a slight smile creeping onto his lips. He wasn't sure why, but just the thought that Greece waited for him every day of the school week made his heart race faster.
He stumbled a bit over his feet as he crossed the school grounds, strong tan arms reaching out to steady him as he approached.
"Hey," Greece said, his arms wrapping around Japan's smaller figure. "There's no rush."
"S-Sorry," Japan stammered his face flushing. He reddened even more when he realized how many people were now staring at him in Greece's embrace.
He started to pull away, but Greece's hands stayed on his shoulders. With a gentle yet firm movement, the foreign boy took Japan's book bag and slung it over his own shoulder before casually putting his arm around Japan.
"Let's walk home together, okay?"
Japan blushed a brighter red, his uniform collar suddenly feeling very tight. "Greece-san, I-I..."
"Oh. Right, sorry." Greece dropped his arm, remembering how the Asian boy had told him about his culture's views on such close contact.
Shyly, he brushed the back of his hand against Japan's, hoping the other boy would take the hint. With a wary look over his shoulder, Japan started walking, a somewhat hurt Greece trailing behind.
"Japan, I said I was sorry." His long strides brought him back to Japan's side. "In my country, even casual friends do that sort of thing, so..." His words died off as he felt a very tentative grip on his hand.
Eyes darting down to verify, Greece looked back up at Japan, thoroughly shocked. Japan just blushed and made a vague gesture at the empty street they'd walked onto.
"I'm...just not used to such- such contact. That is all," he mumbled.
Greece had to smile, loosely intertwining his fingers with Japan's. "You'll get used to it."
Japan gave Greece's hand a slight squeeze as he quietly replied, "I-I hope to."
