Greece and Japan engaging in (aggressive) swordplay
Well, this is my first ever fill on the kinkmeme. Here's goes nothing:

“Warriors during Mother’s time didn’t really use swords. Or at least, not as often as your samurai do.”
“Oh? What did they use instead?”
“A Greek soldier’s main weapon was the spear. Swords were auxiliary weapons, and used mostly when one loses his spear in battle.”
“That is certainly interesting. And even so, your people created one of best sword designs in history.”
“Mmh. A little Ironic, isn’t it?”
“Indeed.” Japan shook his head a little, returning his thoughts back to the onigiri he was rolling in his hands. He had risen earlier today to prepare some lunch for Greece and himself. Dressed only in his cotton yukata, he could feel the heat of the morning sun slowly creep across the kitchen floor and snake up his feet, chasing away the

“A-Ah...?”
Greece lips quirked at the look on Japan’s face. For someone who was mostly stoic, Japan’s expressions were incredibly endearing when he did allow them to show.
“It would be interesting to try.”
Japan shook his head, a hand reaching up to tuck dark hair behind his ear. “I’m not sure about that, Greece-san. I don’t want to cause any accidental injuries.”
“It’s odd you’d say that.” Greece’s eyes widen a little, mildly-surprised. “I mean, considering how many late nights you spent playing Star Wars Lightsaber Duel on Wii, I thought you’d jump at the chance for a real duel

If anyone were to look in the garden now, they might think they were stealing a glimpse of history, or that perhaps the garden itself was transported back to a time which only existed now in stories and dreams. At one end, the Grecian stood, the scent of hydrangeas wafting up to him as he breathed deeply. He held the Xiphos sword in his right hand, watching the grey and white cat purr and nuzzle about his ankles, before it slunk off to sit itself back on the veranda, its long, bushy tail wrapped about its paws

Greece gave a short, breathy laugh, not missing the equivocal snark in the other’s voice. He raised the Xiphos blade over him, almost as if he were holding a spear, and fell into an offensive stance. Japan held up the katana before him, his eyes never leaving Greece’s and he continued to watch as Greece circled him silently, slowly and then

A moment of silence, as the two stood, frozen in their tracks, eyes still locked. And then Japan noticed the slight trickle of crimson on Greece’s left cheek, and he started, breaking out of his reverie. He drew back, dropping the katana to his side, and reaching out to cup Greece’s face with both hands, his features now marked with worry

Guuh, this was meant to be done earlier, but RL kidnapped me. So sorry. Also, I didn’t quite know how to end this, so dslfjdngklg I hope it didn’t sound too cliché >_>
Translations: ohayoo gozaimasu (japanese) - good morning kaliméra, Iaponía (greek) - good morning, japan kardiás mou (greek) - my heart, a term of endearment
Trivia: - Kusanagi/i> is the actual name of one of the three national treasures of Japan. It is not a katana however, and looks more like a broadsword (think Excalibur). My headcanon is that Kiku’s sword is one of the missing Honjo Masamune swords, entrusted to his safekeeping by one of Tokugawa’s heirs. He keeps it a secret though because well... can you imagine who’d kill to have an original Masamune?
- kudos to those who managed to get the reference quotes I added from Troy. Achilles and Patroculus are not cousins!!- also, battle music GAR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x16CqxwcGYc and ... )

This is SO pretty. Seriously. You wrote the battle scene really well and I was at the edge of my seat. Plus, it was lovely and sweet the way they came out of the dream and reconciled.
Also, am I the only one who saw "sword swallowing" as something dirty?

I'm in awe of how well you wrote the battle. Your descriptions are so vivid that reading their fight was like watching it unfold in front of me.

Well, it's entirely up to one's imagination, eh?
