Not enough fruk childhood friends or enemies meeting again when they’re older and Francis is the one who is completely awestruck by how handsome and confident and desirable Arthur turned out to become. I need Francis blushing and flustered and shy to start a conversation because of how pretty and gentlemanly Arthur has grown after Francis only knew him as the constantly mud covered child with scrapped knees.
Got a sweet message about my FrUK posts. So have a few more headcanons for posterior posterity:
Arthur developed a crush on Francis almost immediately after they met as children. He used to trail behind Francis like a tousel-headed duckling after a swan. Scarlet faced and hanging on to the back of Francis’s robes. Francis found it adorable but didn’t reciprocate. You know how kids are. Even though there would only be a few years between them in human terms, young Francis already saw himself as far too old and sophisticated to return the affections of his “little baby” neighbour. He couldn’t resist teasing Arthur and giggling at his childish efforts at courtship. Only to feel bad when the teasing inevitably went too far. Francis promised himself he wouldn’t do it again every time he saw little Arthur’s lip tremble and his eyes fill with tears. Kids are cruel unfortunately and Francis broke that promise more often than not. He grew up to be kind in love, but he didn’t start out that way. Actually, remorse over the way he treated Arthur was probably one of the reasons Francis grew up to be kind in love.
Their childhood friendship soured after the Norman conquest made England a French colony (kinda, sorta. It’s complicated). They’d both suffered under Rome and Arthur naively expected Francis to do more to protect him. Only to be shocked and hurt by Francis’s seeming callousness. Francis wasn’t really callous. He was just older and understood their situation better. This blew up into their first really bad fight. Francis kept insisting William would be a good king and Arthur should just accept the situation with grace for his peoples’ sake. Arthur kept begging Francis to do something to help him. Francis - much more miserable than he was letting on - lost his temper. He exploded at Arthur in uncharacteristic rage: calling him an idiot baby and saying it was no wonder he kept getting conquered. That he deserved it for being so stupid and weak. Francis was going through national personification “growing pains” at the time. Chin deep in dealing with the angst of the actually-kinda-horrifying-if-you-think-about-it existence of their kind. Something I headcanon all nation people experiencing when they’re old enough. Arthur, still too young to understand, was stunned and dismayed. The guilt at seeing him this way only made Francis angrier. He ranted at Arthur, who ran away sobbing and hid for days. Francis, still horribly guilty, pushed it down with bitterness and didn’t apologise for a long time. One of Arthur’s worst traits is his ability to bear a grudge and, oh boy, did he bear one after that. Even after he himself grew old enough to understand, he didn’t let Francis off the hook for his cruel outburst. Swore he’d get revenge someday and make Francis feel the same pain he did under William. A “someday” that would come a few centuries years later during the Hundred Years War.
They are both perfectly capable of speaking the other’s language but choose to communicate in their mother tongues. Arthur complains constantly about Francis and his “frog language” but secretly* he finds French unbearably sexy. Especially the French exonym for England. All Francis has to do is purr Angleterre in Arthur’s ear and he’s all shivers and tight pants.
(*Well, he thinks it’s a secret, lol).
Arthur’s first kiss was given to him by Francis: a quick peck during their childhood days. He was very disappointed to learn he wasn’t Francis’s first kiss in return. That was Antonio who, ironically enough, ended up being the one Arthur lost his virginity to. As a prisoner on Antonio’s ship during the Age of Sail. Pirate sex, yo! You gotta love it. Meanwhile Francis’s first time was with a young, French farmhand. A very beautiful mortal who came to a sad end. The encounter left him overpowered by a draining need for Francis that mortals aren’t capable of resisting. A human can’t cope with romantic love for a nation person without being ripped apart by its intensity. The poor man eventually went mad and drowned himself in the river. Near to the bank where he’d first made love to Francis. Which traumatised Francis so badly when he found out that he never became romantically involved with a human again. Yeah, for some reason I headcanon Francis as suffering a great deal from being a national personification. I don’t know, I just see him as seeming to carry a lot of sadness from it, you know?
Francis is one of the few non-magical nation people who can see Arthur’s fae friends. Not often and not very clearly. He’ll just catch a glimpse every once and a while. Out of the corner of his eye when the light is right.
As nation-people, they can’t get married in the human way unless their countries join in a political union. Instead they have the equivalent for their kind. The “next best thing” for personifications. It’s another headcanon I play with. I’m not sure what it would be, but some kind of “terra” wedding? Non-binding in any legal way, but a symbolic way of making it official. Only recognised by other nation-people. Like they’d still have rings but wear them on chains around their necks instead of on their fingers. Because symbolism. Both romantic and tragic! So yeah, in modern times they’re married and call each other “husband.” Just in a way that avoided creating Angevin Empire 2: Electric Boogaloo, hehe.
Arthur is slo-o-o-owly getting over his Alfred induced blood spitting sickness as time passes. In the early years after the American War for Independence, he would get it so badly that he was crashed out and bedbound from mid-June to late August. Alasdair would take over as leader while Arthur was indisposed so the UK could carry on as normal on the world stage. These days Arthur is doing much better and is usually up and about before the end of July. Unfortunately Francis’s birthday is Bastille Day and, try as he might, Arthur still isn’t strong enough to get out of bed by the 14th. Let alone do anything to make Francis’s day special. They had lots of fights about it after they became a couple. Arthur is a stubborn creature and two things bring it out that trait particularly badly: hiding weakness, and his love for Francis. Yeah, not a good combo for this situation, lol. Francis kept postponing or cancelling his party to come to England and nurse his sick spouse. Something Arthur absolutely did not want. It made him feel even worse to know he was keeping Francis from what should be his happiest day. Already cranky, he would tell Francis to piss off back home and leave him be. Francis would retort that Arthur was an obstinate fool if he thought Francis could enjoy himself when the love of his life was alone in bed vomiting blood. Arthur couldn’t make Francis leave (he even picked the lock and broke in once!) so instead he tried to force himself to attend the party. Relying on magic and handfuls of human medicine to keep himself upright. A bold attempt which only made everything worse. The staff at the Élysée Palace still haven’t gotten all the bloodstains out of the furnishings. One explosive fight later, Francis and Arthur came to a compromise. Arthur spends July in France where Francis can look after him. In return for Arthur tolerating his fussing, Francis attends his birthday party. Promising to put Arthur out of his mind for one full day and night.
I like the headcanon that all nation-people are good looking. That even the least of them would be considered very beautiful by human standards. Fits with the “more than human, less than gods” thing they’ve got going on. I think Francis would be the most beautiful of them all. So much of his history and culture revolves around the appreciation of art, love, and beauty. I think it would “come out” in him as a personification and he would be a work of art himself, you know? So much so that he would have to “tone it down” around humans to avoid hurting them. Other nation-people aren’t harmed like the poor farmhand was, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get tongue-tied around gorgeous Francy-pants. Especially the younger ones. His good looks radiate off him like the sun’s rays. Something he passed on to Alfred, incidentally. Meanwhile Arthur isn’t as stunning at a glance - you wouldn’t take a second look at him if you saw Francis first - but instead he has the kind of beauty that surprises you. Visitors are always shocked at how lovely Britain is once they get out of the tourist traps and see “real” parts of the country like the Lake District or the Cotswolds. It’s an unexpected but pleasant revelation. I think Arthur’s beauty would be like that: hidden, but then suddenly smacks you in the face and leaves you stunned. Francis would have been one of the first to notice, beauty connoisseur that he is.
I’ve got loads more but this post is getting long so I’ll cut it here. Hope you enjoyed ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ

🏴🇫🇷
hiii! i'd love to see you write headcanons about how the hetalia allies would react to their crush flirting subtly with them! with sweet gestures, they way they look at them, soft touches, etc 💖💖
Flirty hints <3
.ᐟ Character(s): America / Alfred F Jones , England / Arthur Kirkland , France / Francis Bonnefoy , China / Wang Yao , Russia / Ivan Braginsky (Hetalia) [SEPARATE]
.ᐟ Prompt: Allies with a crush flirting subtly with them
.ᐟ Upcoming next: Puruth with a GN!S/O who got possessed by a seed..💔
.ᐟ A/N: these are all lowkey very short but I had fun writing all of this! I hope you enjoy it anon!^^ (ps Russia and America’s parts are kinda rushed)
AMERICA !!
• this is my personal opinion but I feel like when it first starts happening, Alfred might not catch onto it immediately but when he does he’ll try to play it off with a loud boisterous laugh
• but despite that you could notice his ears turning bright red from whatever light gesture or compliment from you
• When you brush a stray crumb off his face or If you catch his gaze and hold it with a soft smile, he’ll actually stop talking for a bit. Which is a very rare occurrence
(??? Idk where I was going for the last part..?)
ENGLAND !!
• ARTHUR! OK so If you were to subtly flirting with him, he would catch onto it quickly! It would absolutely terrify him in a way?? and he will get extremely embarrassed but try to maintain a calm, gentlemanly demeanor
• When you give him a soft touch or a lingering look, his brain goes into a defensive spiral of confusion then realization
• Arthur will fidget with his sleeves or his tea cup, looking everywhere but at you
• If you touch his hand, he might physically jump, but he won't pull away from your touch. Instead he’d clear his throat and say something incredibly posh and deflective, like for example, "The weather is quite... humid today, isn't it?"
FRANCE !!
• As a flirt himself, Francis would pick up what you’re trying to do immediately. But however, subtle flirting from someone he genuinely cares about hits him differently than a flashy pickup line. It touches his heart rather than just his ego
• If you touch his arm or make slight gestures towards him, he won't get flustered, instead, he gets abit intense. he’ll lean into the contact, his eyes darkening with affection
• He’ll lower his voice to a soft, silky register and start speaking to you in a way that makes the rest of the room disappear.
• Francis would match your energy and perhaps raise it. If you give him a sweet gesture, he’ll return it with an even sweeter gesture. (Like a back n forth thing?? Ifykwim)
CHINA !!
• Yao!! Although he’s lived for centuries, personal, romantic affection still makes him act like a flustered high school girl.
• If you lean your head on his shoulder or give him a meaningful look, he’ll start fussing
• He’ll complain that you’re distracting him or ask if you have a fever because your face is close to his. All the while, he’s blushing so hard it’s visible from all the way out in space
• He’d try to keep his composure, but it fails the moment you get sweet with him or give him the slightest touch
RUSSIA !!
• Personally I think Ivan is used to being feared or kept at a distance. When you bridge that gap with a soft touch or a warm, lingering look, it’s genuinely overwhelming for him.
• He might tilt his head like a confused puppy, his violet eyes abit wide. He might let out a small, breathless "Oh?"
• If you hold his hand, he’ll wrap his large fingers around yours with surprising gentleness, as if he’s afraid he’ll break the moment.
• He’ll become quiet and look at you with this look in his eyes, simply absorbing the warmth you’re giving him like a sunflower would to the sun on a sunny day
130 - L’Heure Bleue Continues Encore
Hey hey, it’s been a while! This one is made by haruki chise, whom I’ve gotten permission from and translated for before. They’re the one who made the queen of hearts thing, rome and the youth, rusprus left on read, and some others. Please support their work, they have other cool art on their page :3
It’s quite deep and a little romantic imo but it doesn’t have to be interpreted as romantic. It’s 45 pages but it doesn’t take long to read.
CWs: smoking, wwii time period, minor blood, and a decapitation (french revolution reign of terror) although it’s only one very small panel so it’s not gruesome or anything but it’s there
