[That huff makes him laugh, since that's the sort of reaction he expected. Obviously it's mostly the handsome part he's talking about. Or at least, he is until Germany says he's not.]

What? I'm the most handsome bloke around! Even got an unanimous vote that I was at the last commonwealth meeting!

[Or more like everyone said it was stupid and they weren't voting on it, which is the same thing in effect. Either way he's the most handsome around and now he's going to pout until Germany admits it or he's distracted by something else. Death match? What death match?]

[Australia's reaction keeps Germany from feeling too awkward and blushing too much, at least]

[Cups his chin as he thinks about how to put this]

Ah, how do you say...

[VERY SUBTLY doesn't look Australia in the eyes]

Rugged describes your looks better than handsome, I think.

[It's good one of them is getting something from his pouting because he's not! The long wait only makes it worse. How long can you handle his pouting, Germany?]

Rugged? The hell does that mean? Ruggedly handsome maybe but it ain't right on its own!

[So subtle! So subtle even he notices between his pouting and huff.]

Who are ya judgin' this against anyway? Is it Italy?

[Which is -- okay that's making him laugh. Not that he dislikes Italy, but if he's anything he's cute, not handsome. He couldn't crush a man with his arms alone!]

Rugged like rugged good looks! I-It means you have more rough, masculine looks than soft features.

[Gosh, read a romance novel already, Australia. ~~Germany has several you can borrow~~]

W-What are you talking about?! I'm speaking objectively, here!

[And while Australia's laughing, Germany's expression returns to his usual look of annoyance]

...I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Oh, so I'm a manly kind of attractive? Well, can't argue with that...

[That sounds a lot better and he's only interested in those books if he could use them as a melee weapon, thanks.]

Objectively and subjectively good looking to ya! Always did say ya had the best judgement.

[Apart from all those times where he didn't but hey. Germany's annoyance returning doesn't put him off though, as usual.]

No, no! Germaaany, you have to tell me who you think is handsome now, it's not fair otherwise! C'mon, spill!

[Make like this is the preteen girls' slumber party this is turning into and spill your secrets Germany. If only they had snacks and a weepy movie to watch while painting their nails and talking about boys too.]

[Steps up and pokes Australia's forehead]

Only because you don't groom yourself properly! And what's the point of that bandage on your nose anyway?

[Well. He'd be lying if he said he didn't find Australia good-looking, or possessing of a certain charm. So he'll choose not to comment on the first part of that sentence] Name one time you've ever said that!

S-Shut up, that's my private business and none of your concern!!

And you already know more about my tastes than I do about yours! [Speaking of things not being fair...]

[Germany wouldn't know what that's like. Because he didn't have a lot of friends his own age when he was young. /Eiiiinsamkeit]

[OBJECTS STRONGLY TO BEING POKED and jabs Germany right back in the chest for that.]

Oi! Ain't much time for groomin' right now! And quit bein' a sticky beak!

[The denial puts him back in a better mood -- let's not dwell on the plaster -- and he waves his hand airily to dismiss Germany's demand for answers.]

Oh, all the time. "That Germany bloke, he's..." uh...anyway.

[Rapidly moving on (and he didn't have sleepovers either, they weren't really a thing in the eighteenth century, perils of being an old fart) he takes up Germany's next statement instead.]

Me? Hmmm...blondes. And brunettes. Human ones.

[There's your answer Germany, it was hopefully as informative as you wished it was.]

[Notes the objection and files that away for future reference. Glances up at those locks of Australia's hair that stand out a little, wondering if it could work to subdue Australia like Italy's haircurl did. Although he really doesn't want to risk seeing if Australia's hair is as sensitive as Italy's]

[He's fine with not talking about the plaster. He has plenty other points of criticism he can make]

You never groom! Do you even comb your hair, or use any gel?

[Crosses his arms again] That doesn't sound believable at all.

[Just stares at that, awaiting more] ...And? Be more specific!

Edited 2015-02-02 19:21 (UTC)

[Germany. No. Don't even think about touching the hairs. It does cause a response but it's...not subdued, put it that way, and it'd be a bad idea in a neutral zone where their collars will explode if they fight.]

What? Why would I do that?

[C'mon, he's met his kid self, Germany should just be glad he showers regularly now! He likes the mussed up look, low-maintenance and it's fashionable too! Or it was last time he checked anyway.]

Isn't that enough for ya, Mr "I'm not going to share who I have a crush on"?

[That description gets a silly high-pitched voice and he grins afterwards, like he's really enjoying this. He is really enjoying this! Germany probably wishes he was the one who'd tasered him now.]

[He's thinking about it... But ultimately decides not to. Not because he knows about Australia's reaction, but because he keeps thinking back to how it affects Italy. And he'd rather not have to deal with a shivering, moaning Australia. Because that would be awkward]

For the same reason you'd shower! To keep yourself neat and clean and presentable. [At least, that's why Germany does it]

[~~...Again, no comment~~]

H-Hold on! We were talking about personal attraction, not about who I have a crush on!

[He does. Australia really is lucky Germany doesn't have a weapon. Though the reverse is probably true as well]

[Oh, he wouldn't be shivering and moaning. He'd have a rage boner. A rage boner, Germany. He can kick pretty hard when he's angry.]

Doesn't hairgel defeat the point of keepin' it clean by covering ya hair in grease?

[Is that why Germany does it then? Weird.]

Oh, we were? Who else are ya personally attracted to, then? 'part from this specimen in front of ya, course.

[That seems like the same thing to him, but hey. He does have a weapon but even he respects the rules of a neutral zone and he's having way more fun not using it. Knocking Germany unconscious would mean they couldn't argue!]

[...Could he put that in scientific terms?]

Hairgel keeps it neat and styled.

[And because it makes him look ~~like a stereotypical seme from a random doujinshi~~ professional and mature]

Don't make me repeat myself! I already told you that's none of your business.

[Though the fact Germany's not outright denying it does mean he likes the way Australia looks. Hopefully Australia doesn't realize that, though]

[He's 96% sure he's seen that term used in a Biology textbook, it's scientific! Perhaps Australian textbooks are just more progressive than German ones.]

And crusty.

[It's not the hair that makes Germany look like a ~~stereotypical seme~~ ~~old fart~~ uhh mature individual, it's his attitude. He wouldn't be surprised to see Germany yelling at kids to get off his damn lawn especially if it was him and a couple of wombats.]

Oh, so it's just me then?

[Haha, no. He edges closer to Germany, getting into his personal space, his shoulders back and a grin that's almost flirty on his face.]

How 'bout a root then? Shame for ya to die a virgin after all...waste of those muscles.

[He said he liked blondes!]

That's why I shower and wash my hair!

[He doesn't yell at them to get off his lawn, he just yells "Mittagsruhe!" at them if they're too noisy in the afternoon]

I never said that!

[At that comment, Germany mirrors Australia's movements, stepping closer to him and getting into his personal space. With the exception of his flushed cheeks, his expression is far from flirty as he glares down at Australia. But then, it's always far from flirty]

[He clenches his hands in order to keep them at his sides, rather than wrapped around Australia's throat, and grinds his teeth together. Any act of violence and his collar will explode. But... that's only in the neutral zone. He takes a deep breath, doing his best to calm himself, and then nods his head in the direction of outside]

...Not here. I saw a hidden clearing outside that will do.

Edited 2015-02-02 22:19 (UTC)

[If that was in America, Germany would probably get sued by their parents for the trauma that'd cause them.]

No, but implyin' it pretty strongly.

[Also Germany getting all up in his personal space is a promising sign even if he is all pissed off and blushing. Good enough, and he can write that grinding of teeth off as nerves or something. Despite that, he's not expecting Germany to say yes that easily and it makes him blink in surprise before a sneaky grin spreads on his face.]

Right. Just keep an eye out for anyone sneakin' up on us.

[Because even if he's propositioning Germany in a middle of a game where everyone is trying to kill each other, he's not a complete idiot! Just mostly. With a quick glance around he takes hold of Germany's arm and tugs him along outside in the direction he pointed in, trying not to get distracted by his adrenaline. Nothing like a quick root to get the blood pumping.]

[To be fair, he can be very intimidating. Though not Sweden-level of intimidating]

[Germany grinds his teeth together again to keep from insulting Australia and ruining this. He simply lets Australia tug him along, letting his eyes roam over their immediate surroundings to make sure nobody's nearby. He doesn't want an audience for what he's about to do]

[For the idea that he had in mind, Germany had nodded in the direction of a fairly large, sturdy tree. As soon as they're beside its trunk, Germany stops and digs his feet in the ground. He yanks his arm free, wrapping his hand around Australia's throat, and uses that to push him up against the tree. As if that's not enough, he lifts him up from the ground, just enough that he and Australia are eye to eye. When he leans in close, there's actually not as much anger in his expression as the outburst would suggest. If Australia looks closely, he'll see Germany looks more concerned than anything else. Though, anger is also a big part of it]

Damn it, Australia! Take this seriously already!

[Thank god for that, because if Germany starts using a sex toy as a weapon he's outta here.]

[Instead of reading Germany's body language he's busy in his own thoughts and when they stop by the tree he takes a quick look to see if the coast is clear before--]

[He's not expecting Germany to go straight for his throat like that and he chokes for a moment, the pressure of Germany's hand making the collar dig in more. Fuck, should have known he couldn't trust someone like Germany and he's too busy trying to breath and get out of Germany's grip to look for the look in his eyes, because what the fuck you murderous git! Perhaps Germany should express his concerns in a more normal manner in future?]

[His reply to Germany telling him to be more serious is to lift his knee and ram it right into his stomach. That serious enough for him? No wonder Germany never gets laid.]

[Smart choice. ~~Since Germany's sex toys are quite kinky~~]

[If he's being honest, Germany must admit he gets a small amount of satisfaction from the fact that he manages to take Australia by surprise. But that doesn't last long as Australia knees him in the stomach. The bulletproof vest helps against bullets, but it doesn't help with the impact very well]

Damn it...

[He grunts, letting go of Australia and covering the sore area of his stomach with his hand. With the other, he reaches out to fist the collar of Australia's shirt and maybe give him a good shake]

[Of course they are.]

[Germany might have taken him by surprise but he tends to get fighty when anyone goes straight for his throat normally, never mind in a situation like this. He gets a lot of satisfaction from Germany letting go of him and being able to breath. With a few deep breaths he slides down the tree slightly, trying to focus and deciding if he needs to kill Germany or not. He'd rather not.]

[His hand stills Germany's on his collar with a firm but not painful -- yet -- grip before he lets out a sigh. Germany might be violent but collar shaking isn't murder after all.]

Let's not get aggro, mate, ain't gonna help.

[Now his point's made, he can go back to the important business of mocking. What, you thought that'd stop him? ]

Ya could have just said no instead. God, manners like that I'm not surprised ya ain't shagging anyone.

[Germany was about to let go of Australia's collar at first. After the comment about his virginity he tightens his grip instead and steps up, closing some of the distance between them again]

[He's blushing both from anger and embarrassment, and he makes a noise that sounds somewhere between a low grunt and an actual growl from annoyance]

What on earth does it take to shut you up?!

[Considering the circumstances he should be more worried, but he's not. He's had this kind of argument turn into sex before, and while he's not expecting that to happen it makes him less cautious than he should be.]

Dunno, I've heard kissing works. Fancy giving it a try?

[Normally he wouldn't offer again but he really doesn't have anything to lose. He's not going to play their game, he's going to do what he wants and currently that's teasing Germany and even, very possibly, trying to get something from him.]

Edited (pressed reply too soon!) 2015-02-03 13:30 (UTC)

I'm not going to do that just so you can mock me again!!

[He's onto you, Australia]

[Wait, that makes it sound like he wants to, but is too afraid of Australia teasing him to try]

A-Ah, I'm not going to do that at all!

Aw c'mon, surely ya don't think I'll mock ya for wanting a pash with me.

[That first sentence sounded more accurate to him so he'll take it as true. He even sounds more honest than usual as he tries to removes Germany's hand from his collar.]

What else are we gonna do? Kill each other? Team up to kill someone else? Yeah, nah. I'm not playin' their game. Are you?

[This is as close to serious as he'll get right now, tilting his head to really look at Germany. If Germany says yes then that changes everything.]
