That's The World?!『A Hetalia FanFic』

Chapter 62~ Insanity

Shuffled noises woke me from my slumber. My vision opened up to see Alfred carrying Ava bridal style. She passed out on the right side of the couch while I passed out on the left.

"Mmmm... Daddy? You're home..." she was half-awake.

"Yep, did you stay up all night again?" I've never heard Alfred speak this soft before.

"Mmhm..." she replied, snuggling into his hold.

"Was it worth it?" He started walking into the hallway with a snug smile.

"Mmmhmm~" she giggled.

When they were out of my sight I rubbed my eyes and toddled behind them. Ava's blanket still held me tight as I saw Alfred lay her down on the bed. He tucked her in and planted a kiss on her forehead before turning to retrieve myself.

"Oh! I didn't know that you were awake," he picked me up and wrapped the blanket around me as if I were a baby.

"Heh, b-barely..." My eyes couldn't stay open. He has that comfortable fatherly hold.

"You really gave Iggybrows a scare, you know that? Francis was the same way."

"I kn-know, I'm sorry. I c-can't control my p-powers, I don't kn-know how to."

I felt him lay me down beside Ava and I held onto his shirt as he tried to slip away. He wasn't surprised since I do this all the time. However, the look on his face wasn't his normal happy-go-lucky expression. He seemed concerned but mostly terrified; he did a terrible job of hiding his true feelings.

"Sleep with us..." Ava mumbled as I felt her cuddle me.

Alfred's expression softened. Hearing her say that must have taken him back to a past time. He's really starting to look like a father now. I couldn't believe it before, but now, I think the look suits him. He cuddled in with us and kissed both of our foreheads that left us with a flushing smile.

"I'll protect the both of you..." was the last thing I heard him say before I fell asleep once again.

~ The next morning~

"Mmmm... foood..." Ava moaned, waking me from my slumber.

The scent of bacon wafted through the air as it lifted our bodies. It carried us to the kitchen to the sight of Alfred cooking on the stove. Although, my eyes couldn't focus on the food. Why?

Alfred was walking around shirtless with only his stars and stripes boxers on. He could have been naked from how much skin he was showing. Now, I've seen him this way before, but damn... I need a tissue.

"What's cookin' good lookin'?" I tried to act sly while holding back my nosebleed.

That resulted in failure. And by failure, I mean both of them bursting out in uncontrollable laughter. Ava quickly gathered herself and stopped my nosebleed with a tissue. After we got all cleaned up, we sat around the table and devoured the delicious meal. Who knew that he could cook? He made bacon, eggs, toast, and oatmeal for us. He mostly made an abundance of food for himself since he has a big appetite, but I think it's also because he's used to feeding many people at once.

"D-Do I have t-to come back h-home? I wanna st-stay here for a wh-while~" I pouted.

He hesitated for a split second before answering, "No, you don't have to go back. After all, I can protect you from any danger!"

Ava seemed oblivious to his hidden emotion. I could tell that something was wrong, I can sense it clearly. I wasn't going to confront him about it now, Ava doesn't really need to be apart of that conversation. Plus, I don't want to bring her into my mess.
