Eventually after an hour or two, Alfred began to wake up. Eyes jittering as he stretches.

It took Ivan a little longer to wake; as Alfred began to stir he was still motionless with his arms loose around Alfred's waist.

Alfred kisses the Russians forehead chuckling softly. The male lifts up gently as he checks his messages at his phone.

Ivan slowly woke up, blinking in the sunlight as he felt Alfred's lips on his skin.

Alfred was unaware that Ivan had awoke , showing a worried and scared expression on his face as if he was about to get.

Ivan looked at him quizzically. "Are you okay?"

The American slightly jumps and rubs his eyes a little " Sleep well? " he tried to change the subject

"Yeah. But seriously, why did you look so scared?" Ivan asked, a new expression of concern crossing his features.

" Don't be will you're half awake~ " he laughs nervously putting his phone away. " Lets go eat I'm hungry "

"... Sure." Ivan rolled off the bed. The intense fear that he had seen flash over Alfred's face almost scared him.

The American still looked worried trying to hide his emotions by smiling gently. He followed Ivan out of his room and down stairs.

Ivan opened the cupboard. "Real breakfast today?"

" Yeah " Alfred sat himself at the table.

Ivan poured him a bowl of cereal and passed it over, getting another for himself as he hummed quietly.

Alfred didn't realise the bowl was placed, having been caught in a daze of thought.

"Hey. Are you okay?" Ivan snapped his fingers in front of Alfred's face.

Alfred blinks looking up at him " Yes I'm fine " he eventually began to eat his cereal.

Ivan sat down, starting on his own bowl as he kept his eyes on Alfred.

Alfred had only a few gulps of the cereal, his expression saddening as he phone began to vibrate.

Ivan nodded towards the phone. "Who is it?"

" Just the Orphinage " he mumbles.

"Are you /sure/ you're okay?" Ivan asked, reaching over to take hold of his boyfriend's hand.

Alfreds eyes keep themselves on the bowl, " Yes I'm sure "

Ivan frowned. "You're obviously not. You can tell me, I'm here for you."

He smiles a little bit linking his fingers into Ivans hand " I'm fine Ivan "

Ivan sighed, squeezing the American's hand tightly. "Okay... Let me know if anything's wrong, though."

Alfred nodded " Yeah....I gotta head back to the Orphinage in a bit...."

"Aww..." Ivan stuck out his bottom lip in a childish pout. "Mind if I walk round with you?"

" Y-Yes please " Alfred almost said instantly as if he was scared to go alone. His grip tightening around the Russians hand.

Ivan's expression became doubtful. "Any specific reason why?" He asked as he tidied away the bowls.

"Of course." Ivan nodded in agreement. "Shall we go, if you have to?"

Alfred smiles kissing his cheeks" Lets go "

Ivan finished tidying up and took Alfred's hand again. Alfred linking his fingers, walking slowly to the door.

The pair made their way down the street, Ivan occasionally stopping to ask Alfred where to turn.

With each step they took Alfred was moving closer to the Russian, to the point he was holding onto his arm once making the corner the Orphinage was on.

Ivan eyed up the slightly shabby exterior with a degree of suspicion. "Okay..."

The Orphinage looked tacky, the building looking burnt because of how black it was. Windows boarded up on the bottom floor as forn bushes surround the house. The grass on the front yard was not a happy green, more as a sad brown with dead plants. Alfred hugs Ivan tightly, hiding his face into his chest beginning to shake.

Ivan's frown grew harsher. "What is this place? Is this really where you have to stay?" He asked, hugging Alfred tightly.

Alfred nodded , keeping a hold of Ivan as he he doesn't want to let go. " Yes..."

Ivan raised an eyebrow. "There's obviously something up here. Why are you scared to go back?"

" I'm not...." Alfred jitters, realsing his grip from the Russian slowly as possible.

The man watched him very carefully as he headed to the door. "You okay to go in now?"

Alfred nods " I'll see you tomorrow at School " he again was shaking.
