{Scotland's POV}

That American, Alfred. He better treat my baby brother good, he's been through enough and he's fragile. I have to admit, when America told me that him and Arthur had slept together I got upset, well, more than upset. Only because it was America! The man than caused him so much pain and suffering, I don't know how Arthur could overlook all that and love him. I know I couldn't, but then Arthur and I are totally different. Despite being brothers we share nearly nothing in common.

I went downstairs and made myself comfortable in the livingroom, I opened a magic book I had brought and flicked through the pages, searching for a section I had read many times before. When I found it I smiled bitterly, remembering countless occasions where I scanned the pages word for word in search of a cure for Arthur. I never found one. My eyes flowed over the yellowing pages once more, I was reading the book differently, this time I had hope. True hope that Arthur could be saved, all because of America. Before, Arthur didn't have anyone to love, that was something that caused him to lose control and for Oliver to take over. But now he had someone, even if it was that daft American. My face brightened when I found a passage about love, and the effect it can have to break the control. If Arthur could reach into his mind and clear it of all America had done, and forget all the hate he once had, he could be okay, maybe permanently. I went back upstairs to the room Arthur was in and smiled, America was next to Arthur, running hands through his hair and speaking to him softly.
"Excuse me?" I said loudly. America looked at me and smiled nervously. I chuckled.
"'Sup? Did you find anything?" He said.
"Aye. If Arthur can go into his mind and forgive you, and forget the hate he should be fine. But it won't be easy" I said.
"How do we do that?!" America begged.
"I need to concoct something, if we give it to Arthur and care for him well enough he should have enough strength to reach into his mind and fight Oliver off, hopefully for good" I smiled, Americas expression lit up and he ran and hugged me, causing me to wince slightly. That boy has some super strength.
"When can you start on it!" He asked, gazing up and me and letting go.
"Tomorrow, I'll need to collect supplies and such" he nodded and I went back downstairs, as I left I heard America say something to Arthur.
"It'll be all okay soon, and then we can be together again, I love you"
