A strong aroma of coffee flows out of the kitchen.
France is sipping his usual dark roast, sulking over the table. His hair is messed up, both his cheeks are slapped red, he has a black eye, a bruise on his throat, and some redness in the corner of his mouth. He looks terrible. This is all thanks to an innocent little
Christmas fun he wanted to do, for the holidays to come.
He was realizing that there had been a bit of stress in HQ lately, such as, but not limiting to, Bing dealing with the fact she's pregnant, Alfred depressed because he shot his boyfriend (who's still alive), and got dumped, many other Americas angsting with Englands, and many others. So he decided a bit of fun was in order. But it did not come out
how he expected it. In fact, it was a disaster. With everyone treating the event like a French joke, France's holiday spirit was crushed. He worked hard to make those headbands, too. Fortunately, there were a few moments he enjoyed.
Cheer him up? Bother him even more? Steal his coffee?
