tried to go all out on the preparation and has scattered the linden leaves and carnations he bought earlier on the floor from the front_

door. The path they make goes all through the house and stops at the door to the living room. The living room door has a collection of_

cats waiting outside, scratching at the door. On the door itself is a sign saying 'Please Knock'.

finally manages to get inside and stops when he sees the trail of flowers. As if to kill time, he takes off his coat and scarf nervously_

_before following the trail to the living room, looking at the cats, a bit confused. Not a big surprised, that idiot, he thinks, knocking_

_on the door softly.

trained King Kitty to paw open the door. Inside, the whole room is decked out in tinsle, the fireplace burns quietly, emanating a pleasent_

glow and there is a thick, plush, circular rug in the centre of the room by a tall Christmas tree. Sadly, what spoils this scene is the_

Greek that is halfway up the tree, arm stretching up uselessly.

gapes and stares at the room decor, and begins to think he may have the wrong house. But then he spots Greece and pauses, mid-step_

_towards him to help him out, but not wanting to ruin whatever he was planning...

((Ready for Greece to show his super-awesome acting skills?))

hears him come in and his head turns, looking alarmed. 'Slovak!' He slips off the tree and pouts, upset. 'This was supposed to be a_

surprise, but it's not all finished. I'm sorry, Slovak,' He sniffs, turning his head away.

(( P-Pffff ))

gets worried and quickly goes to him, reaching up to him. "I-I'm sorry! Do you... want me to leave again so you can finish?"

places his hands gently on Slovakia's hips and looks down at the floor. His face is still showing signs of upset. 'No, I think the surprise_

ruined. All I still had to do was fix the star at the top of the tree. There's something on it that's not supposed to be there.'

to glance up at the star, but he was really worried with how Greece was acting. "I-I-I-I..." He turns stiffly around, covering his eyes.

tips his head to the side, acting confused. 'You?' He asks blankly, then he looks happy. 'You're right! *You* can reach up there and fix_

the star if I hold you up! You're so clever, Slovak!'

gapes a little again... "W-well... if you want me to..." If Greece couldn't reach it, how was he going to reach it!?

nods, and immediately turns Slovakia away from him to face the tree. He then easily lifts him from the hips, holding him up so he is_

in easy reach of the star. 'Just pick it up and we'll see what's wrong with it.'

cries out a little with suddenly being airborne, but swipes the star. "I have it!" >A<

carefully places him on the ground, still behind him. 'Great! Maybe you should find out what's wrong with it before we put it back up.'_

((The ring is secured on the top part of the star-on the top point. >< And there's a reason he wants Slovakia not to see him yet. teehee))

stares at the ring, tilting his head to the side as he tried to figure out what this meant.. "G-Greece?"

by now has put on a Christmas hat and has got down on one knee. He gently pulls Slovakia around by the hand and smiles up at him_

shyly. 'Slovakia?'

turns around slowly, clutching the star tightly in his hands. His mouth falls open a bit, and he blinks furiously. W-W-What was happening_

_?! he thinks. OAO N-Normally people get down on one knee because... "Y...es...?"

takes one of his hands and holds onto it gently. He stares up into his eyes with a meaningful gaze. 'I love you, more than anything in the_

entire world. In the past few months, you've given me everything I could ever want or need and you've given me a reason to smile even_

in the face of trials. You've done and been so much for me, and I want to spend the rest of my existance being everything you want_

and need. And that's why...' He plucks the ring from the star and holds it up between them. 'Slovak, will you marry me?'

literally has tears in his eyes and he trembles a bit. Marriage... marriage... Greece was much older than him, he knew that... and he was_

_younger, still rather brand new. But... He nods, slowly at first, and then more vigorously. "Yes," he breathes out, before tackling him_

_over in a tight hug.

can hardly believe his eyes and ears at that. He looks happily stunned as he catches him, wrapping his arms around him firmly. 'R-really?_

You mean-?' There is a slight pause and then he jumps up in the air, taking the Slovak with him. He dances around in circles, laughing,

_overjoyed. He then puts him down and pulls away a little. 'Let's make it official, hmm?' He holds out the ring and motions for Slovakia's_

finger.

nervously holds up his hand, obvious that he was still shaking. He was just so over-whelmed! In happiness, nonetheless. ;////;

slides the ring onto his finger, smiles in pride and then kisses his hand. 'I love you so much, Slovak.' He has to say again.

wipes away at the tears on his face with his other hand, before hugging him tightly. "I love you too."

spins him round slowly this time, and just enjoys the warm ball-like fuzziness in his stomach.

slides his hands into his hair, wanting to touch him, wanting to make sure this was all real. "I want a kiss to seal the deal," he whispers.

's hand run up and down his back, wanting to make sure of the same thing. He smiles softly and nods slightly. He gradually lowers his lips_

onto Slovakia's. When they meet, he moves a hand to rest under his chin so he can deepen the kiss.

parts his lips happily, shivering slightly as he tightened his hand into his hair. It was even sweeter than normal!

takes his time, tongue sliding easily into his mouth and softly tasting every inch of him. He gives a small moan, enjoying the_

meaningfulness behind such a kiss. He then wonders... 'So...is there anyone you want to tell?' He asks, 'As a couple, or by yourself?' He_

figures Hungary deserves to be one of the first.

ponders it for a moment, sliding his hands into his hands to squeeze them. "H-Hungary... definitely... together..."

smiles and nods. 'Okay then. When we feel like we're ready, we'll head over to her.'

closes his eyes, smiling as he sighs softly. The ring was nice... and the weight felt... right...
