“It’s beautiful.”
Mathew smiled at the other man, even though he knew Kiku wouldn’t see it. The exclamation in this case was less flattering than the way that Kiku way watching the sky. His dark eyes were locked on the common spectacle and his mouth was just a little open. The reddish and orange hues left their mark on the tint of the color on Kiku’s face. There was an almost fascination in his eyes, it as, Mathew concluded, not just endearing but also very flattering.
“Thank you.” He couldn’t not reply, that would be too rude, but he kept it low so as not to interrupt the serenity of the moment.
“Victoria is very beautiful.” The Canadian felt a small surge of pride. Even though he couldn’t help but love even the most dirty and ugly parts of Canada, he did have a great fondness for Victoria, and Japan agreeing meant a lot to him, “I can see what Akihito-sama talks about.”
The blonde nation turned his gaze back to the water and mountains in the distance, each reflecting the glow of the sunset. The waters were almost unnaturally serene, as if sensing the levity of the compliment and the moment, deciding to comply and the mountains stood majestically. Even the animals were present but quiet. “Thank you again.” With a contented sigh he turned to Japan, readjusting slightly on the white fence post, “Will you be visiting with him?”
“I wasn’t going to.” The words displayed no emotions, but Kiku continued to stare into the multifaceted sky, “I just came to pay my respects and see how Akihito-sama would like Victoria. But I think I might be able to find the time to come again.”
“I will forward to seeing you.” Kiku’s honesty was very kind of him, and he certainly did appreciate it. The embodiment of Canada chuckled lightly, “I suppose this makes me ‘Canada land of the falling sun’, eh?”
Japan looked away from the sunset in surprise, and then hurriedly moved his gaze back, “I suppose Chugoku has even gotten the story this far to the West, then.” A small smile blossomed on Japan’s face, it made Mathew’s heart feel a little warmer, “Well…I wouldn’t say that title is quite right. Not for you.”
After a moment when Kiku didn’t elaborate, the taller country smiled and looked back at the water and the idyllic sunset.
“Thank you.”

Notes
-July 10th the Japanese Emperor and his wife are visiting Victoria, Canada. Apparently the Japanese Emperor has a real soft spot for it. -It will be their GOLDEN anniversary. Get it? :D -Sama: A suffix denoting GREAT respect. Essentially someone you bow down to or worship (Kami-sama = God [someone I bow down to/worship]) -San: A suffix the denotes basic respect. Equivalent of Mr./Mrs -Chugoku: China -When he talk about the "Land of the Falling sun" Canada is referring to when in Hetalia China found Japan and Japan said "I am Japan land whence the sun rises. You are China land whence the sun falls". I assumed that this was a literal translation since I know Japan calls itself "Land of the rising sun" and I beleive he would have then called China "Land of the falling sun". Please excuse any errors made.
I hope you enjoy~ It's very subtle, but I hope it's good enough.
