Meeting on Hamburger Street (America X Reader)

20: I Said I Won't Disappear

•Your POV•

I see the Dutch man's face redden as I held his hand. Please help me forget. Please help me forget all the things I've been through...

Fuck. So Winter Break is over, that means we get back to school. Yay.

I had the early morning routine once again. Quick bath, brush teeth, fix hair, put clothes– and until I say bye to mom and dad then head out.

I do the routine and walk to school. I'm guessing Emma and Abel are already at school– they do wake up earlier than me.

What's funny is that I'm the only one who knows that their countries beside themselves. I'm used to meeting different people– going beyond the boundary– expanding my horizon. I am friends with all my classmates, just not close friends.

I got to school, panting from all the running I did. I was earlier than expected 30 minutes until the bell rings!

I set up my bag and lunchbox on my desk. I then decided to go out of my classroom since my class is just a mix up of boy gamers and weird girl hipsters.

I walk around, peaking at every door on each classrooms. I then see Abel talking to his friends... Well, at least he was just listening. His friends just surrounded him and he listened, he smiled slightly.

I call out to him stuttering a bit, "A-Abel!"

He looked to my direction and had a soft and heartwarming smile plastered on his face. Those smiles are rare, well maybe to me. I'm just used to someone having a goofy and fun grin...

"Excuse me for a while," He informed his friends and walked to me. I could literally hear all the whispers and wolf whistles to me and Abel.

"Hey, (y/n). How's your day going so far?" He asked me.

"It's great! I arrived earlier than expected!" I smiled.

His look softened, "I'm glad."

We walked around and talked to each other about interests and stuff like that. We had some good laughs and rants– he's a great person.

School was finally over and the whole day has been great so far. I've been getting compliments about my radio show and I spent my breaks with Emma and Abel.

As usual, I have my show and get lots of request. Once it was over, I passed by a house.

It was once Alfred's house.

I stepped on the front porch and knock on the door. Surprisingly, the figure that opened the door this time was no other than Francis.

"O-Oh, welcome (y/n)! C-Come in, come in," He welcomed me– not being his usual self–  he was stuttering.

I sat on the usual spot I always sit on their couch and see Matthew cooking in the open spaced kitchen.

I turned my head to another direction and see the eyebrow Brit hanging clothes.

"(Y/n)? W-What are you doing here?" The Canadian asked.

"I just missed this fun family, that's all." I smiled sweetly.

He turned off the stove and and prepared the food on the table. I saw his eyes then widen. He quickly ran to the stairs dashing to a room.

He came back a few seconds later and seemed like he was carrying something behind his back.

He took a small simple aqua blue and white striped box and handed it down to me, "L-Late Christmas gift! I'm sorry for the new found tragedy..."

"No need to be sorry!" I gave a cheeky smile then I went to open the box.

There laid a small plush polar bear keychain and a crafted with beads Canadian flag.

My face softened as I saw how cute and adorable it was, "Thank you so much! I like it-... No, I love it!"

"I-I... I also have Alfred's gift..." He handed down the box from his other hand and I received it slowly, a bit stuttering.

"I'm not going to open it," I said bluntly.

"Why?"

"I'm not going to open it until he opens my gift and we meet each other again."

I chatted with Matthew and Francis, asking how life was going. Francis was not acting normal, he gave way and gave me space. He knew about the incident– believe me– he was almost as gentlemanly as Arthur.

I then said my goodbyes but something caught my eye.

Arthur's Sebastian cosplay.

It was hanging to be dried out in the sun. Oh no. Oh yes.

I smirked and took it.

As I got out of the door I heard Arthur scream, "WHERE IS IT?!" Man, was he aggressive.

I puffed my cheeks and sighed. He took the cosplay back.

'PSH!' I thought, 'I could've been a better Sebastian! He sucks.'

I walked in and saw that the sky turned a bright blue-ish grey.

In the corner of my eye, I saw someone... People. More than one...

Gilbert and Mathias?
