Getting Kiku Honda's romantic attention is very hard. With his naïve personality to an overprotective siblings Yao, Im Yong Soo, and Kaoru to Kiku's best friends Feliciano Vargas and Ludwig to their rivals. Just How will they win the quiet teen's heart?

Yes. THEY. Namely Sadik Adnan, Heracles Karpusi, Gilbert Beilschmidt, Arthur Kirkland, Francis Bonnefoy, Alfred F. Jones and Matthew Williams. What they didn't know was the number of their rivals will just keep on increasing.

Hetalia High is a popular international high school in America. The prestigious school not only ensures the best academic and nonacademic learning of their students, but also the feeling of comfort for each of them. They didn't provide after school restrictions as long as the students shows up for their next day's classes. The teachers were also known to not giving their students overloaded tasks, being considerate at the fact that they have a life outside the academic life.

Adjusting in this school isn't that hard, well... Except for Kiku. Due to his frail health ever since he was a kid, he has been in and out of school because of his overnight hospital 'visits'. He wasn't well acquainted with his classmates because of this. His mother had an accident during her pregnancy causing Kiku to be born a few weeks before his due date. And the result was this, a frail and sickly child. Kiku even had to stop a year of school because of being hospitalized. This is why Im Yong Soo and Kaoru were careful around him. All of them had this feeling of protectiveness around Kiku and unconsciously, they acted as if Kiku was the youngest of them.

Kiku was very thankful for them, and never minded his siblings' ways of taking care of him (Though Yao tends to go overboard at times). They were there for him when their parents were busy working. Im Yoo Soo was there to cheer him up with his bubbly attitude. Kaoru was there to tell him stories when he's too weak to get out of bed, or Kaoru will carry him to the living room to watch some anime or some live Japanese idol performances with him. Yao was there to help him catch up with his classes he missed and always brought home his homework for him.

Yao, who was at America for two years already, only goes home during holidays. He always makes sure to buy sweets for his brothers whenever he comes home. He admits that he misses his brothers. Yao was aiming to study law in college, Im Yong Soo was aiming to be a biologist while Kaoru made up his mind on studying medicine to become a doctor and help Kiku. Kaoru was supposed to be a year younger than Im Yong Soo but due to his outstanding grades, he was recommended to skip a grade, making him, Kiku and Im Yong Soo in the same level.

The three brothers were happy when they received their acceptance letter from Hetalia High under a scholarship just like Yao. Just imagine how happy Yao was when he heard about this news.

Not only that, but Kiku's condition improved greatly. His body able to grow stronger the past year and the hospital visits lessened. The usual sickly pale complexion now had a color and he had gained weight.

With the promise of looking after Kiku during their stay at America until they graduate, their parents agreed to let Kiku live with his siblings in America. Their parents were also assured of Kiku's safety because Ludwig and Feliciano, Kiku's best friends and supposed to be classmates if he didn't stop for a year, were also there.


Yao looked at the two-story house that his parents bought for him and his siblings. They couldn't go along with them due to their work but they made sure to send enough money for the house expenses, school projects and groceries. They even send an extra amount in case the siblings decided to go out or if they wanted something.

Yao just finished cleaning the house and his brothers' rooms before taking a shower. This was the day he was going to pick up his siblings on the airport. Yao was excited to meet his brothers and live with them just like in the past.

"Aiyah! I still haven't bought Kimchi for Yong Soo, aru!" Yao said to himself, facepalming.


Kaoru and Yong Soo smiled as they looked at Kiku who was asleep while leaning on Kaoru's shoulder.

"The three of us made it to Hetalia High," Yong Soo said, looking at Kaoru with eyes radiating with happiness. "The four of us will be complete again."

"Our next goal is to graduate." Kaoru smiled back.

"And enjoy our stay." Yong Soo said.

"Aa." Kaoru said as he leaned back. "Yong Soo, you should catch some more sleep. We'll be helping Yao-nii once we get there."

"I had enough sleep, Kao-kao~" Yong Soo said, teasing Kaoru with the nickname, earning a half-hearted glare from his brother. As he grinned at Kaoru, he noticed the fallen earphones lying on Kiku's shoulder. Checking if it was playing any song, he placed the earphone on his ear. "Sheesh. Kiku-nii really has a habit of listening to music before and while sleeping then the earphones ends up being removed in his sleep, da ze."

Kaoru took the other earphone and listened to the music being played. "This song..."

'Sekaijuu no kotoba demo ie naiyou na
Irode omoi wo egakou
Donna mirai mo hajimari wa kono shunkan
Koko kara hajimaru glory days'

Growing up in Japan since Yong Soon was two years old (one year old in Kaoru's case), he studied how to speak in Japanese while studying how to talk in Korean and in English as well. That goes the same with Kaoru except he studied the Chinese language. Both of them were able to translate the song in their minds.

'In colors that all of the words in the world could not express
let's paint our feelings
No matter what the future is, the beginning is this moment
From here begins our glory days'

"Kiku-nii... This is indeed the start of our glory days... Your glory days..." The Korean muttered, gently running his hand on the sleeping Japanese's hair. "This would be a new life for you."

"A new life for us as well," kaoru said, smiling as well.

Yong Soo rarely shows his gentle caring side, and it is mostly shown to Kiku. Usually, he's very loud and brash to everyone but when it comes to Kiku, he's much more careful.

"We'll be arriving our destination in a few minutes. Please attach your seatbelts to avoid injuries-"

Kaoru didn't bother listening to what the attendant was about to say as he gently shook Kiku awake.

"Kiku-nii, we're almost there." Kaoru said.


"YAO-NIISAAAAAAN!" An overly excited Yong Soo exclaimed as he tackled Yao, earning a grunt and a laugh in the process. Kaoru and Kiku smiling as they approached them.

"Calm down, aru!" Yao chuckled. "How was the trip, aru?"

"It was boring, da ze! All we did was eat and sleep!" Yong Soo complained.

"It was nice," Kiku said, smiling at Yao. "Though they didn't serve sushi at all," Kiku pouted.

The three siblings laughed at this. Leave it to Kiku to complain about not being able to eat Sushi or Salted Mackerel for a day.

"There, there." Yao patted his back. "I prepared lunch for us. Kimchi for Yong Soo, Chao fan for me and Kaoru and Salted Mackerel for you, aru."

Noticing Kiku's tired look, despite sleeping most of their trip, Kaoru muttered about leaving as soon as they can to Yong Soo so Kiku could rest.

"YAO-NIISAN! Let's go hooome, da ze~! I wanna eat nooooow~" Yong Soo whined though Yao caught the look on Yong Soo's eyes that he knew so well.

Grabbing Kiku's luggage despite the raven haired teen's protest, they all made their way to the car. In two weeks, their school would start, but right now, its just them.


The song that was being "played" is White Line by Aozu.

If you're a Prince of Tennis fan, you'll know this song.

Now, which of the characters do you want Kiku to be paired up with? :))
