July 4th

Chapter Two

"Okay, Alfred go ahead." I swallow a lump that seems to be growing in my throat and listen to what my little Alfred needs to tell me. "I needed to leave you Arthur, I didn't want to but I wanted to be your equal, not your little brother, I wanted to stay by your side as your hero, be the only one you depended on because... be..because I love you Arthur..." Alfred looked down at his hands, blush inevitable on his pale face, lookng up at me with tears in his eyes waiting for me to reply.

Chapter Two

I was stumped at a loss for words with the words I had just heard, not even sure if i had heard them correctly. "Alfred, a.. Are you serious? I mean really?" I asked hoping for the answer I wanted, without looking at me he answered so quietly that i had to strain ot hear him (as opposed to normal). "Arthur, of course I am, and I am sorry that it took me so long to admit it." with that he looked up bright blue eyes burning into my green ones. The look on his face made my heart break, he looked so fragile like the child he once was, tears in his eyes still waiting for my reply. "ummmm.. Well you see Alfred, I... Ummm, could you give me some time to umm think about it?" I asked, not sure what else to say; I mean I have been in love with this loud obnoxious country for centuries and had just found that he returns my feelings, I was scared to say the least."Yeah, sure Artie. Take all the time you need."

Well that won't be long seen as the next world meeting is in three days, and yes why the bloody hell was it on the fourth July, is Germany trying to kill me?

With that i head towards the front door, with America following close behind. I would say thtathat made me uncomfortable but oddly it was soothing and I just knew that i was blushing...Imagine, I could turn around right now slm him up against the wall and .... No, stop it England. As America shuts the door behind me, I realise the I have no car. "Well England lookslike you are walking back to the hotel now." I don't hate walking, it gives me time to think and trust me when I say I have a lot of thinking to do. As I walk to the hotel thoughts start to whirll around inside my head about what America said. What would happen if we did start going out? I would probably want to keep it a secret from the other countries because Japan would act like a yaoi fan girl with his camera, Italy would ask a load of ridiculous questions and what is we get disapproving looks from the others, I could lose my reputation as a superpower.

-----Time Skip-----

As I arrive at the hotel, I came up with my answer but still decided to wait until the world meeting so that I could tell him after the other countries had left. I got into my hotel room and glanced at the clock sitting on the bedside table, 22:26. The meeting had gone on longer then normal today because me and America had been talking, Italy was being scolded by Germany for trying to make pasta under the table and Russia was asking China to become one with him. I was drained so slipped into the shower, and got into bed.

I was at the world meeting 4th July, and Germany had just let us have a 30 minute break, I was just packing away my papers to take home at the end of the meeting when i heard a voice behind " Yo, Iggy... Ha..Have you de...decided?" I knew who it was without looking up, America was looking at me with a blush creeping up onto his cheeks, I turned to face him properly and can feel a blush inevitable on myself. "Yes, Alfred I havee, but first I want you to come with me, someone could walk in at any minute and I don't want them to see or hear us.." I grab his hand and go in search of an empty room, as I open the door, I push a very confused looking America with me. When we are both inside I lock the door and pull Alfred towards me, bringing my lips closer and closer and then....
