Description ...or at the very least, it's one-sided.  

Vitriolic best buds are basically two friends who do care for each other despite fighting, insulting or bantering.  Though, in this case, I imagine Viet-kun to be the one who does more of this (the insulting at least), but Alfred, most of the time, doesn't really realize some of his stealth insults or sharper and blunter tones and just continues to refer to him as a buddy.  When that happens, Viet-kun either softens up, or just gets highly incredulous at how the blonde doesn't understand his tone.

Not an AmeViet pic, btw - the furthest I can think of with that pairing is Alfred or Emily having a crush on either one of the Vietnamese representatives, but Viet-kun and Ms Vietnam don't return it because they both find our American heroes too immature for their liking (especially Viet-kun).  Plus, I do like the head-canon from a friend of mine where Alfred frequently calls Ms Vietnam "granny", and she doesn't know whether to feel offended or respected due to his tone, since old age tends to equal wisdom and are given respect in Eastern culture, and seniors are always given priority.  If someone doesn't give a senior priority, then society immediately assumes something is wrong with the person who didn't give the senior priority, and that they're horrible.

Anyway, in return, Viet-kun gets called "gramps" or "old man" quite a lot ("grumpy old man" in particular, is quite a popular name Nyo!America calls him).  However, I tend to think that whereas Ms Vietnam is more understanding of both America's (again, because I do like my friend's head-canon at her understanding that they're technically very young), Quan is far less tolerable and gets more easily irritated, despite having a usually cool composure and rational judgement most of the time.  He also doesn't appreciate the whole old = frail or weak mindset that tends to be used in Western societies, and is quite proud of his older age due to the experiences he's gone through (though some of them are quite scarring).

Alfred: Hey, dude! How you been?
Quan: Go home.
Alfred: Whoaaa, you working out? You're feeling quite buff, man!
Quan: Gtfo.

Yep, vitriolic best buddies.  XD

Love it! XD I can see this being something one-sided and Viet-Kun or Viet-chan getting annoyed or just rolling their eyes. XD

Thank you! it definitely is - Quan in particular gets really irritated when Alfred insists on hanging out with him.  XD sometimes he unintentionally cockblocks him when he's with a certain Spaniard~ *w*

You're very welcome, my friend!

Hahaha! I can so see that. Quan wants to spend some quality time with his lovable Spaniard and America just rushes in and is like "Yo, dude! let's hangout!" XD Mwuahahaha! XD Poor Alfred, Poor Quan, Poor Antonio as well. XD Shenanigans. All these shenanigans! XD

YES! Thank you for liking my headcanon.
I definitely see them in an odd relationship, both Americas and Vietnams, but not close to romantic (Same with Taiwan and Japan).
I see both Alfred and Emily being respectful and playful to their elders. They want to still remain out going, while trying, but failing to being mature.

I do love it.   

They do have quite the strange relationship, do they? >w< yep, not romantic at all - if anything, Vietnam is more like a sister/mother/maternal/grandmotherly figure, while Viet-kun is more like that grouchy old neighbour who lives alone in his house and who the kids think is funny, but he's like, "Gtfo of my lawn..." 

I can see that, too, though I sometimes imagine Emily going, "You're no fun..." and goes to hang out with someone else.  Alfred, on the other hand, I can see him just tagging along with them regardless - especially with Viet-kun, though Quan dislikes how noisy Alfred is, because it makes the water buffalo nervous and even scared.  XD

I love the grumpy, but caring elderly and loud, modern, but insecure teenage youth combo. Or any of elderly and youth combo.
Toph and Iroh was my biggest ATLA brotp!

Poor Quan. XD

I feel Taiwan would feel the same Japan at times. He's more of an straight forward business man that enjoys the peace, then going out with the youths, because he feels more old.
Though in human aus I make him like kind of like Shang from Mulan.
