Heya meme! How's your December going? Is it snowing? Is it hot? Are you excited for a new year? Are you not? Do you rhyme? What's the time? How weird will these posts get? I don't really... know yet? But anywho. Do you have any plans for this month? Vacations or parties or... December...related...activities? Are you participating in any meme

Re: Food and beverages!

[He's wandered in and is looking around but none of this looks familiar to him]

[Wanders over to you instead, indecisive. But if you're drinking something it must not be bad, he just needs to figure out what it is]

Enjoying the market, Alemania?
Also, I've got a dare outstanding (aphanon-meme.livejournal.com/84811.html?thread=836604491#t836604491) and since we haven't interacted, if you're comfortable with it could Spain give you a little Christmas love?

Feel free to fluster him as much as you want!

[Smiles a bit]

[Or, more accurately, frowns a bit less than usual, then nods]

Yes. It's quite calm and organized so far.

Ahaha you got it!

[oh_espana]

I usually spend nights around this time in my own markets in Madrid, but yours was looked like a lot of fun and your food looks really good!

I don't usually eat this kind of food though, what would you recommend?

[He's open to trying pretty much anything so long as it isn't England's cooking]

Re: Ahaha you got it!

Besides the Bratwurst, I recommend the Lebkuchen that the stall around the corner and exactly 3 stalls to the left sells. They're exceptionally skilled at making those.

[oh_espana]

[He did see those, that sounds good. He thinks anyway. With all the consonants a lot of these things sound the same. At least he got directions]

[Although his mind's mostly off of food at the moment. He knows he's supposed to do this dare but he's never tried hugging Germany and he's got no idea what sort of reaction this might get]

Um... yeah, that sounds really good.

[Furrows his brow and reaches out anyway, putting an arm around Germany's shoulder in a friendly way. It's a start at least]

So, what're you drinking, anyway?

[Even for him this feels kind of awkward]

[1amkeit]

[Simply stares at the arm around his shoulder. Is this another Mediterranean thing?]

Glühwein. It's a tradition during the Christmas season in my home. [He's had better than the one from this stall if he's honest, but it's still good]

[oh_espana]

[More like a Spain thing]

Oh, maybe I'll try some with you then...

[Although he's not actually going anywhere to get anything. He'd like to keep talking as a distraction but he can only focus on so many things at a time]

[Calmly wraps his other arm around your other shoulder in an unnatural, uncomfortable hug, trying to act like this is a perfectly natural act. It probably looks more like he being stupidly drunk]

[1amkeit]

You have exactly 30 seconds to explain what you're doing!

[oh_espana]

Um... just giving you a hug. For Christmas, you know. Since it's the holiday season. And it's nice to be nice to people now. And everyone likes hugs, right?

[And now he really is rambling, but once the cap on his mouth comes off it's difficult to put it back in place. He's more than a little nervous knowing what's coming next and why did he decide Germany was the best person for this]

...

[Leans forward as fast as he can and presses a quick, equally awkward kiss against your lips]

[He's hoping somehow you're just going to let this slide]

[1/3]

[1amkeit]

...I suppose. [Though as for the liking hugs part, he only enjoys them occasionally and not from everybody. Either way, this is the weirdest hug he's ever had, but at least it's just a-]

[2/3]

[3/3]

[1amkeit]

T...THAT IS NOT A HUG!!

[oh_espana]

[He's backing off finally, relieved to have it out of the way even if the reaction doesn't seem so happy. Now that the dare's over the nervousness is gone]

But it was still for Christmas! And it wasn't so bad, right? I'm really sorry though, Alemania, I promise it won't happen again...

[1amkeit]

[Germany's just really confused what's going on in your head. If it was a tradition he'd be really uncomfortable too, but at least he could understand it in that case...]

NO! THAT'S TOO WEIRD!!

Just a hug would've sufficed! A kiss on each cheek at most! But no more than that!

[oh_espana]

[It probably would have helped if he had thought to explain that this was a dare, but...]

Eh, it's not that weird, is it? Don't you ever kiss people you like?

[Not that he goes around mouth kissing his friends usually, but kisses for Christmas don't sound like something he'd necessarily dislike. Excuse his lack of common sense, he doesn't entirely understand what topics are personal]

[1amkeit]

[A lot! Though Germany would've wrestled and done all he could to refuse if that were the case]

Of course not! Especially not like that!!
