New Encounter (Germany x France)

Chapter 13-Overtime

FRANCE POV

"You are very beautiful..."

"You are very beautiful..."

"You are very beautiful..."

This could never happen even in my wildest dreams...Do you know who said these words? Germany did...Who was he talking to? I really hope to see him looking at me when I turn around...With my heart beating fast and the words echoing in my head, I turned slowly around.

Germany was looking at the moon again, seems to admire it a lot. He was calm, the light creating a glimpse in his deep eyes. Oh God was he handsome...I was completely red, my eyes wide. I didn't notice that he turned to me. Germany saw me and frowned, his face expressing the slight concern that he was probably feeling. "France, are you feeling alright?". Oh no, he made out my blushing mess...OF COURSE HE DID, IT IS SO OBVIOUS. I didn't even manage to speak when I felt his hand on my forehead. His hand...was cold. Cold like the one's I had seen in my dream...It's probably a coincidence. He took his hand back. "You don't seem to have a fever...", he said as he leaned back. "...but even if you had, that wouldn't be much of a problem...".

Wait...What was that now? Should I feel bad? DOES HE WANT ME TO SUFFER? I felt an amount of instant anger rising in my body, completely forgetting about the thing he said previously...I looked at him a bit annoyed. "Is that supposed to mean something bad...?", I said with a bit of irritation in my voice. He grinned. "Oh, I apologise, I didn't mean to say that as something bad...I am also a Doctor so, I could just take care of you and all that kind of stuff...". Okay, that completely took me by surprice...But I knew nothing about Germany, so I should add this to my special information..."Wait, you really are a Doctor too?". "Why would I want to lie about it...?". He was right, he wouldn't have anything to win anyways. "Oh, indeed...", I said sceptically. All that situation seems the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better...I continued. "That's actually very interesting...Maybe we should get to know each other better. Mind telling me some things about you? Um, I am asking as a friend of course, not as an emploee...". He chuckled. "So, we are friends now...?". I blushed. What if he doesn't want to be friends at the end? "U-Uh...Aren't we...?", I asked very sheepily. He smiled and got up, starting walking. I watched him as he was leaving and quickly followed him. "H-HEY", I yelled when I reached his side. "Where are we going?". I was actually confused to say the least...He answered. "I was absent for many hours, as you said. I am going back to the office so that I can finish my obligations."...WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO COULD WORK THAT LATE AT NIGHT? HE INDEED IS A WORKAHOLIC..."B-But isn't it too late now...?". He stopped and looked at me. "I have to finish some things, what else do you suggest?", he raised a brow. "Well...Maybe you should go and have some sleep, you work hard all day, as far as I see.". He thought about it. "I would rather work than sleep, really. Thanks for thinking of me, though.". I blushed once again. Of course I am thinking of him. "But why do you prefer working? That's pretty weird...", I asked as we started walking again, heading to the office. He seemed to flinch at my question and cleared his throat. "Um...Y-You can go home if you want, to sleep...I will be fine.". Go home? And leave him alone like this, after all this hard day? Nuh uh. Besides, I have to take this opportunity. Who knows? "No, I will stay with you and help you...But you didn't answer any of my questions.". He chuckled. "So you like answers, right? Answer this for me then...Why do you want to stay with me now?".

Oh crap...I didn't expect this...How do we answer that now...? I was feeling the heat rising in my body, butterflies in my stomach. I will make an excuse..."Uhh...W-Well, I also have some thingy thiiings to finish, BUT they are not many soooo I can help you after I finish as yours seem to be mor-", I was laughing nervously while messing around with my fingers when I suddenly looked at the front again and saw Germany's face being inches away from mine. He had to lean slightly forward to reach my height, I was shorter than him. I could see better his green eyes because he was wearing his glasses. He is so cute with these! He was also frowning a little bit. I started sweating, holding my breath and hoping that he couldn't hear my heart beating fast just for him..."France...". I was feeling his breath on my lips for once again, tensing up every time. "Y-Yeah...?", I tried hard not to shutter and show that I was cool with everything, but that was just a dismal failure...Germany titled his head a bit. "I can tell when someone is lying...There is no use in trying to do so...", his voice was soothing while he was talking. We didn't break eye contact and I was trying to find another excuse that he would most likely believe this time. Or at least, I hoped he would do so...But then, I noticed that his eyes were no longer looking mine. He was observing...my lips?
