"You're totally gonna have to let my hand go when we start," Poland scolded lightly, but he curled his fingers around Lithuania's gently even as he did. "It'll like, be way hard to join our hands if they're already joined, Liet!"

Really, he didn't see why Liet was so nervous. He wasn't! It was just an engagement ceremony, like he'd been to so many of before. Sure, he'd never been one of the main participants before... But still, all they were doing was... announcing their intention to wed for all eternity. In the eyes of God. And... in front of everyone.

All those people. Maybe they should have invited less... Poland felt his grip tighten around Liet's fingers, without having meant for it to. All right, so maybe he was a little nervous, too... But he knew this was what he wanted, and they'd get through the scary part together.
