![long vertical image of east asian characters sitting around a wooden table eating hot pot.
clockwise from top: yao in a white tank top and his hair pulled back, fanning himself, yong soo in a green sweatshirt reaching into the hotpot with his chopsticks, mei in a yellow top and red skirt, hand on her hip as she talks and points at leo, who is looking down at his phone, macau is smiling with a beer in his right hand, and kiku looks to yong soo, chopsticks in hand.
the hotpot takes up the centre of the table, and is surrounded by half-finished plates of vegetables, raw meat, meat skewers, and other hotpot foods. kiku and macau have beers in front of them, while mei has two cups of boba in front of her, and leo a can of herbal tea.
the sidewalk outside is blue from the night, with a bicycle leaning against the nearby telephone pole. leaves hang from a nearby tree, and a black cat naps nearby. inside, everyone is seated on bright plastic stools, and a single lamp sheds orange light over the table and an old air conditioning unit.

askbadlydrawnasianstigers hi~!


"Hiiiiiiiiiii!"
@ask-badly-drawn-asian-tigers
This had been happening for a while now, that they would end up in each other’s company during these occasions. It started out as a shared dislike for the parties that followed official meetings and both preferred to find a quiet corner to wait out those social events.
Erik and Lavinia, well Vinnie, ended up in the same quiet corner at one of those parties that as usual got out of hand. He liked the way Vinnie commented on the behavior of the other nations and while the Scandinavian country didn’t say much and simply listened to Hong Kong, he loved her dry sense of humour.
It had been the best party Erik had been at in a long time just because of Vinnie’s company, so of course he sought her out during the next party he knew they would both be attending. So they talked, Vinnie more than Erik as she kept him entertained with her dry jokes, and slowly Erik started to show his own dark humour that made Vinnie laugh.
Her laughter souned beautiful to his ears and at that moment Erik realised that he had thought she was beautiful ever since that one party they hid away together while she had been the one to make him laugh.
The sound of her voice, the shape of her face and the colour of her hair combined with her humour, her intelligence and her kindness made that he loved her.
He was in love with Lavinia before he even knew it. So perhaps he should have known he would tell her that night as she joined him in a quiet corner and began her soft comments on the other people at the party.
Normally he loved her comments, but tonight he didn’t hear her words only the sound of her voice and only saw her beauty. When she looked at him and stayed silent because Iceland spoke even less then she was used to, he told her that she looked amazing.
While a blush took over Hong kong’s face, his was worse as he whispered “Did I say that out loud?”
So she took his face in her hands and kissed the boy.
