Challenges of Living Together
Expectations
As a nation, people expected things out of him. They expected him to be ready to take on any new issue with dignity and reserve and be able to execute any command without a second doubt. His leaders expected him to show up to work on time, every day, without a fault, in a crisp suit and tie and be ready to plunder through meeting after meeting. His secretary expected him to tell her of his appointments and whom she had to directly connect and whom she had to tell “Sorry, Mr. Williams is not in his office right now, may I ask who’s speaking?”.
Kumajirou expected to be fed at least twice a day and get a long belly rub or back rub every night. He expected to be let out to play in the yard and to get attention from his master whenever he demanded it. He expected him to take him out for walks, groom him when necessary and take good care of him.
His people expected him to make the right decisions for them and to make sure their homes remained safe. The other nations expected him to be quiet during world meetings, but to always be there for them when they needed any type of support.
France expected him to treat him as though he was still his caregiver and that he still needed the Frenchman’s guidance. England expected him to obey the Queen and not to turn like his brother and America expected him to be “the bestest of bros” that would always be there to help him out when needed.
His friends expected him to laugh at their jokes, to offer them good advice when they needed it and to morally support them in their times of need. His lover expected him to make him breakfast almost every day, to at least kiss him good morning and good night and to offer him physical comfort when he needed it. And life expected him to be happy with whatever was thrown at him.
He was okay with it. He knew of these expectations, however ridiculous some of them could seem. However, he had expectations of his own.
There weren’t many, they weren’t grandiose and they were certainly less absurd than “you have to keep an apple pie in your freezer for when I come over.”
However, there were times when he honestly didn’t give a damn about all of the world and when he would call in sick or just lazy about in bed and tell Gilbert to make him something to eat instead. Or that he didn’t want to wear his charcoal suit with the dark red tie. Sometimes, he wanted to wear the one with the smiling celeries and moustaches. He would at least expect a reaction out of that.

I really am sorry…
