Accidentally in Love [Spain x Liechtenstein]

[Liechtenstein]

Delicate hands gripped the hem of a plaid miniskirt in an attempt to keep them from trembling from a combination of excitement and uneasiness. Liechtenstein had never been so far from home, in a completely different continent and across an ocean in America, of all places. Soft emerald eyes gazed out the window of the vehicle, absorbing the foreign sights of the huge city, and she couldn't believe her entire country could fit inside it over five times. It was so confusing and fascinating and terrifying all at once and she didn't know how she was going to survive there without her beloved adopted brother.

Her eyes flicked to the opposite side of the taxi, where he was sitting, hands clasped, looking even more anxious than she was. She didn't blame him, though, leaving his vulnerable little sister by herself in one of the biggest cities in the world. It was by her own choosing, however; she'd had begged him to let her go to the World Academy and he finally consented, even if it meant not seeing her for months on end. Lili could tell he was imagining all the things that could happen to her without his protection by his apprehensive expression. She let go of her skirt with one hand, quivering slightly, and set it on top of her brother's with an unsure but hopeful smile.

I'll really miss bruder... she realized sorrowfully and foresaw a bad case of homesickness for herself later on. But even with the forlorn thoughts, she tried to brighten them with all the interesting experiences she'd have in the new country. Maybe she'd meet America himself while at the boarding school.

They rode the rest of the way to the school in a peaceful silence, the kind where words couldn't express how they were feeling.

The consciousness that her brother wouldn't be there to say good morning, goodnight, and be always at her side with a gun, just in case, hit her like a ton of bricks as the pulled up to the front of the Academy. It took everything the sixteen year old had to get out of the cab without her legs from falling out from under her. Liechtenstein looked up at the entrance to the school, letting her jaw drop a little in awe. She knew the school would be large, but it looked even bigger than their house. The panic and melancholy of unfamiliarity slowly began to creep through her veins, causing her to completely miss Switzerland's words. "S-sorry, what?"

"I-I promise I'll write to you as often as I can--well, as long as it's not too expensive--and stay away from strangers...and men in general. Don't take detours or shortcuts through alleyways here, I don't trust--"

Before he could finish, she'd thrown her arms around him, feeling a tingling sensation behind her eyes and a lump in her throat. Liechtenstein would even miss his constant warnings and paranoia. She didn't want to let go, but was forced to when he gently pried her from him. The girl quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, forcing a smile to appease her brother.

"J-ja, bruder." she mumbled, swallowing more tears that were threatening to break free. She was handed her suitcase, given a chaste kiss on the cheek, then watched him reenter the taxi that would take him to the airport. Liechtenstein wondered if he'd try to find company while she was gone, maybe even make up with Austria. She'd always wanted the two to get along, since she never really understood why they argued.

Then she suddenly remembered she was alone.

Lili took a deep yet shaky breath and climbed the stairs to enter her new environment. She paused in the doorway, taking in even more incredible, fresh sights. The inside was very different from New York as a whole, an indecipherable mangle of different languages buzzing in the air and even more people. She'd forgotten how big the world was, living in the peaceful Swiss Alps.

It was anything but peaceful in the foyer of the school, however, which made it even more confusing for the poor country girl to figure out where she was supposed to go. Her green eyes were wide with helplessness and confusion, still a little red and puffy from just a few minutes earlier. The fact that every time Lili tried to weave around and through packs of nations, she'd be pushed elsewhere didn't help her growing anxiety, either.

ooc; And cue Spain to the rescue~

Yay for cliche song/thread titles. >> And I don't know if this goes along with your idea of them liking other people, but. ><; I really wanted Lili to be cutely scared and out of her element, so.

I'll also say that I never type this much and don't expect you to. (though I read your Spain app and you can write so much more than this ;; )

And on the HetaliaWiki it said the school was based on one in NYC, so that's where I'm setting it to avoid confusion. x:

[España!]

Romano was gone. A sigh escaped Spain's lips at this thought. He had things to attend to back in Italy, God knows North Italy wouldn't be able to do it, so he had left the school, left New York. The idea that he would have to spend months at a time without seeing Romano was close to horror in Antonio's eyes, he would miss the sparky Italian much. Regardless, he still had many friends here, even if the one he 'liked' most wasn't in the country. Ruffling his hair with a pout, he walked into the gates of the school, suitcases in hand. First day of school again, return to some sense of normalcy, or lack of it in some respects.

He smiled and waved to passing peers he remembered for the last year, walking enthusiastically to the boys dorms, where he would be once again assigned a room. Last year he had roomed with Prussia and France, but it was highly unlikely he would get to be with them again. Talking happily to the woman handing out keys to the assigned dorms, he smiled brightly. He noticed the girl blush and stutter, but figured she was just shy and didn't want the job, and walked away with a bounce in his step.

Walking down the dull colored halls, he found his room number and span the key around his finger, grasping it to open the door. When the quiet click was heard, he pushed the door lightly, pulling his luggage with him. "Ah! I have the room alone this year?" There was one thing all students knew at this school. There were about 3 lone rooms with only one bed for female, and 3 for male dorms. They were given to upperclassmen or those with special cases. It seemed Antonio had gotten it this year! Setting his things down, his mouth was formed in an 'O' enthusiastically as he examined his only smaller than usual room. This was for only one person? It was the almost the same as his one from last year. Adjoined was a bathroom he shared with those next door. He wondered who those neighbors were this year, but they would probably be easy to get along with!

Finally settled into his dorm, he hopped walked down onto campus towards the main building with a smile, waving at people whether or not he knew them. Most people went there at the beginning of the year, to find old friends, and for those who had never been there to get acquainted with the school. Pulling open the glass door for a female nation walking through, he walked in after said girl and looked around. Trying to see through the crowds of people was nearly impossible. Finding any previous acquaintances have to wait. Pouting childishly, he looked around before spotting some who looked beyond lost. He recognized her only slightly, from where he didn't know. When you gather with all the countries in one place, it's a bit difficult to recall which ones were which unless you were actually friends with them.

Squeezing through the crowd, he went over to the frightened and overwhelmed girl with a smile. "Hm, Buenos días, are you lost? Ah, I forgot, spanish here is pretty pointless. Hi, I'm Spain." He put out his hand with a smile, tilting his head slightly in a childish way. "I recognize you, ah, los siento, I do not remember what country you are though..." He trailed off, a nervous laugh rumbling in his chest.

OOC;; Sorry for taking so long! Ah, I left the font big cause I feel like the big font is closer to Spain's personality. He'd be kinda loud.... so yeah.

I also just like the way it looks. /shot

[Liechtenstein]

Her eyes darted back and forth, following the nameless nations, trying to find a single familiar face. Liechtenstein wondered if Miss Hungary, her older sister figure, could be there also, but remembered receiving a letter from her that wished her a good school year. She bit her lip, mind grasping for names that went along with the faces that passed while also trying to think of the few countries that she knew well. Lili closed her eyes in concentration, lips set in a thoughtful little pout.

The timid blonde jumped a little when addressed, soft green eyes fluttering open to find a tall, tanned man standing in front of her. Liechtenstein recognized him but like the rest of the world, she couldn't place a pale, thin finger on his name. By his appearance, though, she was able to surmise that he was a Mediterranean country. Greece, perhaps? His Spanish and introduction corrected her guess, though she had been rather close.

Spain...bruder's never mentioned his name, so I think I can trust him. she presumed, and daintily shook his offered hand, smiling softly.

"Guten tag, Mr. Spain," she replied, sounding like a mouse in comparison to his robust greeting. Lili shook her head understandingly, forgiving him with a short, quiet chuckle. "Th-that's alright, I'm not a very big country..." her voice faded, but blushed sheepishly when she realized she forgot to introduce herself. The German nation quickly added, "I'm Liechtenstein, Switzerland's little sister."

She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She'd met an older student that would hopefully help her around for a little and maybe even keep her company. Liechtenstein looked up at the Spaniard and frowned slightly. Why would he want to show a quiet nobody like me around...? He's one of the biggest countries in the world, and I'm the smallest. The girl knew she needed someone to rely on for the first week or so, but didn't think she could ask. How rude would she be, guilting the first person she meets into being her "bruder replacement"?

He had asked if she was lost, though, which made her wonder why he would take it upon himself to look after a complete stranger? Spain seemed like a very kind person from her first impression of him, though.

"A-and I am a little lost...I-I'm new..." Liechtenstein mumbled, nervously playing with the hem of her skirt again.

ooc; Está bien~
And again with the long post. xDD; What the...
