Chapter Text
For the millionth time that week, England was fighting with France. It was a common occurrence for them, and usually America and Canada hid in their rooms to distract themselves from the fighting. Often so, they'd get dragged into the argument if they stayed around.
"You DON'T wanna make the alpha angry." France barked, making an attempt to intimidate England. .
"What the hell are you on." England glanced at France while he prepared breakfast. Responding in a tired voice. "Get off Wattpad and wash the dishes."
"YOU wash the dishes! Actually- I'll just pay America or Canada to do it"
"With what money?"
"Yours." France turned around and pouted like an anime girl.
"What was that?"
"I saw it in a romance. You wouldn't get it since you seem to have none in your life, imbecile.
"To hell with your stupid romance! Just wash the dishes, and if it kills you to do it, just give it as chores to the kids.." England's voice had an undertone of frustration.
France audibly pouted (somehow). Walking off to bug America. Despite him knowing Canada would be more likely to not throw a truck at his face and yell at him for giving him chores, he forgot about him and walked right past his door.
Meeting his knuckles to the door and knocking twice, France called out for America with his ear against the wall.
"America?"
"Give me 10 more minutes!!" America shrieked.
France ignored the request and opened the door anyway. Thankfully all America was just making pillar of legos and crashing cars into them.
"What?" America asked, putting down his plane for a second.
France cleared his throat, "Could you wash the dishes?.
"..And what would I get out of doing that?
"5 dollars."
"Okay!" America responded with no hesitation. Getting up and tossing his things aside without much thought.
France sighed in relief. Letting go of a breath he didnt know he was holding. America running past him reminded him that he had another son. So he went to go check on him. Totally not just stalling seeing England again.
"Canada?" France called.
There was no answer.
"Canada~!!" he tried again but in a singsong voice But still no answer.
He didn't really think Canada was dead or anything. He showed up to dinner yesterday, so he just walked away from his room.
