That's The World?!『A Hetalia FanFic』

Chapter 67~ To Protect The One You Love

"Where have you been?" Allen asked rather roughly. "You smell... Japanese."

"How does one smell Japanese?" I slowly replied.

Kuro had carried me back to my room when Allen wasn't looking. But of course, that would't hide the fact that I wasn't in the house for a period of time. I returned Kuro's jacket, even though I wanted to keep it for his scent. Allen wasn't going to leave until I tell him something, but I didn't want to tell him the truth. He might forbid me from seeing Kuro again... I like Kuro's company.

"First, you scare the shit out of me, then you disappear into the night! I'd prefer you not to walk off by yourself. There are dangerous people out there!"

"If you couldn't tell, I'm not literally five," I remarked. I hugged my knees on my bed to try and isolate myself.

Allen wasn't going to let that happen either.

"It doesn't matter, I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you on my watch."

"You really are starting to sound like Ollie..."

"Don't try to change the fucking subject," his sternness startled me.

I held my knees tighter as my heart ached. I felt scared of him, for the first time, I wanted to run away. I felt like running away to Kuro for comfort, I missed his warmth. But I wasn't going to let Allen control me like this, I can make my own decisions and see who I want to see.

"Olivia, where were you last night?" He tried once more.

"In the forest," I looked away from him.

His movement and objectives changed. He then sat adjacent and leaned really close to me.

"Why were you in the forest?"

I kept quiet. I could never tell him the real reason. Not after... what Kuro did to me.

"Olivia..." He pressed.

I tried to hide my face as the memories arrived. The feel of Kuro's warmth... his soft lips... his strong hands..

"Alright, who is he?" He confronted as he saw my rosy red cheeks.

"...No one..." I lied.

"That was a white-ass lie and you know it. Who is he?"

My face was beyond hot, more like scorching. I glanced at my arms and discovered that my whole body had turned an embarrassing red. At least I was wearing actual clothes this time. My chest felt super tight as my mind kept thinking about Kuro. I couldn't stop, it grew worse and worse in this odd moment. I really wanted to run away.

I heard Allen sigh as he tussled my hair, "Fine, don't tell me. But if he breaks your heart, I break his face."

I looked up and nodded. My eyes wandered to every other place to avoid his, all I wanted to do was escape.

When he finally got up to leave he told me, "Remember to respect yourself and to take things slow. Make it last as long as you can... fight for him."
