Meeting on Hamburger Street (America X Reader)

13: I Can't Leave You

"I need you to be with me," He whispered.

"I-I..."

'What are you thinking?! You're supposed to give him a month!! It's just 2 days from the deal! You're stupid, (y/n)!! But... I love him..' You screamed at yourself in your thoughts.

"Alfred..." You said as he looked at you, sniffling his tears away, "Please give me more time until we can be together again... It's not easy, people change. Please just wait for me, just a little while longer." You hugged him.

There was a moment of silence, until he spoke up.

"I'm not perfect..."

You looked up at him.

"I'm not Captain America. I'm not Doraemon who could grant you any wish. I'm not Dora who could take you anywhere you want to go. But all I know is that I can love you."

You look up at him.

"I-I know that I'm just a country who has great power for only political reasons, but I wish to give my all to you!"

Your eyes widen at his words. Your trust issues had gotten the best of you.

'Did he take cheesy poetry classes..?" You thought.

"Still fucking cheesy, Alfred. But hey! Today's my last day before the Christmas break. Wanna go on a date tomorrow?"

"W-What...?"

"I said do you wanna go on a date tomorrow?"

"I-Is t-that a yes to my question?!" His eyes brightened up.

"Yeah. Why not?" I laughed as he came up to me and hugged me.

This warmth, it's something I've been longing for. Something I have always regret meeting. This tenderness is something I could barely express.

I wouldn't say that this meet of touch with 2 souls was an accident. This can't be an accident, was it fate? It's something too precious to even let go of.

I can't believe that something so far from my horizon would end up this way with me. A precious opportunity handed over to me. Alfred. Someone I love too dearly, someone out of my grasp, became a part of my horizon. The disappearing light that touched my fingertips.

He let go of the hug, me out of his grasp. He suddenly had a phone call.

"U-Uh, y-yeah... What..? Uh, o-ok, I'll be there. Yeah, take care. Bye."

"Alfred, who was that?"

"Tssh, just an appointment schedule. Nothin' to worry about. I'll see ya later!"

"O-Ok, bye!" I watched him jog off a bit until he stopped in his tracks.

"Whoops, almost forgot!" He jogged back to my direction, I gave a questioning look until...

He kissed me...

I stood there silent, blushing and couldn't find words to hold on to.

"See ya later, (y/n)!" He hugged and left off for real this time.

I continued to walk home, replaying that scene all over again. Why did that even feel brand new?

I question my future with Alfred, I feel like something bad is gonna happen...

What (y/n) didn't know was that this short chapter with a beautiful, blossoming, fresh flower was soon going to turn wilted in some time...

To be Continued...
