The bell of the diner chimed as he strolled in, as he did each Sunday morning he was in an area that offered a good-old-fashioned late Sunday brunch. He would have invited England along but the old man was busy in a meeting with his PM this morning and had left the previous afternoon. Instead of a nice Sunday morning with slow sex and a sleepy day, sizzling bacon, hot pancakes, syrup, butter, salted sunny-side-up eggs, a two-galleon jug of milk, coffee and a $30 tip for the lovely waitress were on his mind as he took his seat at the corner booth under the racecar poster and between the high school football jerseys with a bold 23 on one and 12 on the other.
The bell above the door rang twice more. Alfred didn’t look up. He continued reading the menu for what seemed like the hundredth time, waiting for a waitress to arrive at his table patiently, fantasizing about the best meal of the week.
Not thirty seconds later, someone stood next to his table. Looking up and ready to place his order, the words died in America’s throat as he saw who was standing beside him.
“Hey,” Scotland said, crushing his cigarette between two fingers, “mind if I join you?”

This chapter is so short D8 And the A/N is so long.
…I made myself hungry writing the last part. /fail.
Scotland’s earliest known name is apparently Alba. I find that oddly close to Albion (England’s first name) but hey, I kind of like it. I’ve always felt a little iffy about his name being Caledonia since that was a tribe that later took over. I don’t think a personification for every single tribe would’ve fit in the Isles back then……
The UK bros are stuck at home most of the time while Art takes care of diplomacy. Hence, they have a lot of time to fuck around. They’ve also had a long time to get good at it. With various types of fucking. Including fucking with minds.
…In my headcanon, Wales, having been under England’s rule for so long, most of what he does isn’t for any political or cultural reason, but because he’s really really bored with being basically an immortal human for the past couple of centuries. After the rebellions died down, he didn’t exactly have much to do except give Iggy footrubs, make the evening tea, coal mine and generally become rather miserable. So he distracts himself from how much he dislikes lacking much international identity by entertaining himself… and sometimes others… And he is good at it. My other headcanon is the entire British Isles (yes, Ireland too) except N.Ireland are all male, but the request specified male N.Ireland, so… the gender ratio continues to be skewed 8D;;
On an unrelated note, I find it hilarious that everyone commented on the “Wales is the Canada of the British Isles” thing. I know he is, but I didn’t really expect so many people to notice that in particular ^^;
I want to reply to you all but the LJ rules sounded really scary when they said to keep conversation down ;_; but I want to replyyyy you have no idea how much it’s ingrained in my bonesssss….. DDD8

Really, by the third time Wales sidled up and practically sat on his lap on a tour bus or escorting him to the airport- and the fifth time North Ireland helped him gather up papers by bending over like he’d dropped soap or something- and the seventh time either one of them offered him a treat in the break room (despite how they loudly proclaimed they hated being dragged to world meetings by England, who loudly proclaimed he didn’t want them there)- America was suspecting something was going on.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world thought he was going through a conspiracy theorist phase again.
Well he does have "paranoid-for-a-century" attacks for a few years ....repeatedly.

Seriously love this story. Oh America, you don't really know what you're getting yourself into do you? <3
btw, a typo that made me lol: I think it’s because he hangs out with Bug Brother France, haha. I instantly pictured France as some sort of fly/human hybrid.

For anyone curious, Scotland’s child kicking a terrorist in the balls in the first chapter was a reference to this: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/12/16/glasgow-airport-terror-attack-hero-john-smeaton-i-just-snapped-115875-20975295/
It’s not mentioned in this article (I couldn’t find my first one), but the guy kicked the terrorist in the balls so hard he tore a tendon. Yeeaah.

Long A/Ns are long.
