Turkey's POV

21. Life
You watch the brat hold her from your bed, watch as a tiny finger wrap around one of his own, and then you feel it – this miracle of life that has brought you two together.

22. Jealousy
Jealousy is such an ugly word; besides, it's not like you could get the Greek to wear a sign that said 'private property – do not touch' around his neck.

23. Hands
You allow him to sit on your lap, head resting on your shoulder and holding your hands.

24. Taste
You watch as he slices the orange into wedges and savors each one slowly; you wait until he finishes and lean in to taste the juice still lingering on his lips. Yummy.

25. Devotion
You notice the difference between the three people in your life – one shows his devotion by giving you silent advice and watching your downfall from the shadows, another shows it by allowing you to get near her son and stabbing her in the back, and another shows it by simply being there with you…even after killing his mother.

26. Forever
You know that if he ever offers you his hand, you'll take it and this time, it'll mean forever.

27. Blood
His blood is everywhere and you can't stop cursing in your native tongue…you can't even tell yourself to wake up, that it's just a dream.

28. Sickness
The morning sickness gets bad and his mood swings are becoming deadly but to you he is still the sexiest kitten in all of Greece.

29. Melody
You hear the melody over the din of conversation at the party; each familiar musical note only a hurtful reminder that brat isn't with you anymore.

30. Star
Different men (and women) long ago interested you but when the newest addition to your Ottoman House comes waltzing into your life with that stubborn pout and sleepy, sexy half-lidded green eyes, he becomes the star of all your dirty thoughts and even dirtier dreams.

31. Taste
He tastes like spices and…catnip?

32. Confusion
The confusion your words create is written all over his usually deadpan face and it's then you realize that he never expected anyone, let alone you of all people, to love him.

33. Fear
"Honestly brat…I didn't know you were scared of dogs~."

34. Lightning/Thunder
Outside lightning flashes and thunder roars but you don't notice any of that – not when he's standing in front of you stark naked and with his hand slipping in the front of your boxers.

35. Scars
You wonder sometimes when he's asleep and his face loses itself in boyish features, how the scars of his past keep him from trusting himself to love you like you absolutely know he can.

36. Market
He tells you that you can't come to the market with him anymore but he definitely doesn't tell you it's because whenever he catches you handling the bananas…it gets him hot.

37. Technology
None of the technology in the world could find him because you know when he puts his mind into it, he can make himself disappear. It both amazes and worries you.

38. Gift
He's always telling you that you have a gift of seducing other countries. When you ask why he replies, "If you have seduced Hungary and my mother of all people…then you have seduced me…"

39. Smile
You don't recognize him at first with his new clothes and healthy skin complexion but when you see that slow tired smile of his, you know that it's actually him.

40. Innocence
After you strip him of his virginity and innocence you freeze at the sight of his green eyes cold with anger. You can only stumble on your own words when he finally crawls out of bed and walks away from you without another word.
