Countryhuman X Reader [Not My Fic]
Chapter 1 - A Strange Sight
I looked around to see another mirage on the street ahead of me. It wasn’t even that hot outside but they seemed to be appearing everyplace I looked.
“Hello? Earth to (Y/N)!”
I turned to see my friend Evan waving in my face.
“Yeah sorry. I was just looking at something.” I said as I walked away with him into the small diner behind us. We quickly found a small booth and slide in waiting to order.
It was the end of the semester and I was in my last few weeks of high school. Now that all our finals were finished, I could finally relax and enjoy spending time outside again.
I looked up to the brown haired nerd in front of me. Evan had been my best friend for as long as I could remember. I couldn’t remember a single moment when we weren’t together.
“Down to the last 2 weeks of school. Finally.” He said pushing his glasses up. I smiled responding with a semi-enthusiastic answer. As we talked, I noticed the door of the diner open letting in two strangers. One of them was wearing a red plaid t-shirt with jeans while the other wore sunglasses and a black T-Shirt with a word I couldn’t exactly make out.
“And so we have to get together again. It’s been so long since we talked too… hey (Y/N) are you listening?” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at Evan who was giving me a questioning look.
“Y… Yeah sorry I’m just kinda tired. I stayed up last night.” I responded looking away.
“Dude you need to stop staying up so late. What were you even up to?”
“Uh… I found an old tab open on my phone and just decided to investigate it out.” I responded hesitantly.
“oooOo let me guess. Was it one of your fanfics?” Evan said teasingly.
“Shut up. It was just a phase.” I said rolling my eyes.
“Whatever,” Evan rolled his eyes and stood up. “I’m going to go use the restroom. Be right back.” I nodded and watched him as he left.
I leaned my head against my hand and grabbed the menu from the other. As I read through the choices I noticed something strange from the corner of my eye. I slowly turned to see the two strangers from earlier sitting at the bar stool on the opposite end of the diner. But something was off about them.
Rubbing my eyes I looked away noticing the same familiar sight out of the corner of my eyes. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw when I looked up.
The two strangers facial features had changed. Both had flags as faces. I blinked shaking my head. I looked away and looked back up still seeing the same thing.
No way. I thought to myself. I immediately found myself staring and looked away just in time to notice Evan making his way back to his seat.
“Hey. What I miss.” He asked sitting down.
“Uh… not much… hey um… do you see the two guys at the bar?” I asked awkwardly.
Evan looked over my shoulder and nodded. “Sunglasses and Plaid Shirt? What about them?”
I blinked at him and turned around. The two stranger’s faces were still flags. “Do… do you not see… the flags?” I asked anxiously.
“Flags? Um… no. You ok dude? I’m starting to worry about you.”
I bite my lip unsure of what to say. Evan was my friend, if there was anyone who I could talk to it was him.
“Ok look… do you remember that really old phase I had where I got into this one countryhuman fandom a couple years ago?”
As I expected, instead of laughing Evan leaned in encouraging me to go on.
“I… I think America and Canada are right behind me.” I whispered unsure of how else to say it. I looked up nervous for Evan’s response.
Evan just looked over my shoulder and back at me. He did this a couple of times until finally shaking his head, “(Y/N) look, you know I trust you but this is kinda… out there. Are you sure you’re feeling okay? The guys behind you are just two normal people.”
I looked up at Evan’s concerned eyes. Maybe I was just imagining things. “Yeah I don’t know. I’m probably hallucinating or something.”
We both fell silent as a waiter came up to us. We quickly ordered our meals and waited in silence as it arrived. The rest of the night went by quite smoothly. I was able to ignore the two “countries” behind me and enjoyed just talking to Evan.
After we finished Evan asked if I wanted him to drive me home. I declined wanting to walk home and get some fresh air.
We said our goodbyes and I watched Evan leave the diner. I looked out the window and watched him drive away until standing up to leave myself.
As I walked out I looked around at the night sky. The air was definitely refreshing. I started to walk away when I heard the door of the diner open. I glanced back to see the two countries walk out.
As much as I wanted to leave, curiosity got the better of me and I slowly walked closer hiding behind the side of the diner and eavesdropping on their conversation.
“-fifth rift in this town. Ame I’m positive there’s something going on in this town.”
“Come on Canada, you said that while we were in Iowa last week too. Let’s just hurry up and head home. You know how Britain feels about us being in the human world for longer than our patrol.”
After those words I had stopped listening. All I could hear was my heart beating furiously in my chest. Was I really going crazy? There was no way country humans were real. I snapped back into reality hearing footsteps walking away.
I looked around the corner to see America and Canada walk away from the diner and head towards the woods.
Every inch of my body screamed for me to ignore everything and head home yet still, ignoring the yelling angel on my shoulder, I got up and followed the two countries into the forest.
