The hoarse voice of the radio broadcaster screeching out of nowhere awoken the young man from his sleep. His blonde bangs covered his eyes as the rest jolted up in a mess from his sleep. The man reached over the alarm Repeatedly, tapping on random Bottoms to stop it. The broadcast grew louder and the Dirty blonde man cringed before smacking the alarm clock with force, finally silencing it.
"Jesus, that's annoying," he thought to himself as he ever so slowly sat up and combed his hair back with his fingers. Drool ran to the side of his mouth, reaching his ear, completely dry and flakey. He didn't really care about his appearance at the Moment, or anything for that matter. Who would this early? Getting up with a slouched back, the youngling grabbed his phone to check the time. He squinted at it very carefully to adjust his eyes before noticing the numbers shown. 1:47p.m.
His eyes widened, dropping his jaw as his hair spike more than it already is. He let out a gasp. "Holy fu-"
His phone vibrated like crazy,almost as if it had a seizure of its own. Droopy yet nervous eyes scrolled through the phone until they met the repeated Messages sending over and over by a user on his Instagram.
"get up!"
" you're late!"
"God you bloody wanker"
"Alfred! Get your ass up now!"
"Alfred. Alfred. Alfred. Alfred."
The blond haired boy threw his phone on the bed and slammed right into the closet door, busting his lip. He groaned before opening it and skimming through shirt after shirt. He finally managed to pick a red dress shirt, a black vest with some black dress pants. He combed his hair quickly and repeatedly before leaving it be, not noticing his cowlick still springing out. Jumping on one leg to put on his pants, he got his deorderant and smeared it across his armpits. After he reached for some cologne, however felt his foot get caught in the pants, ruining his balance. The nervous wreck falls and grunts in pain, but STILL sprays a huge amount of cologne onto himself, some in his mouth by accident. He gags and spits while buttoning his vest and pants.
"I got it!" He yelled, finally dressed however sloppily. He grabbed his keys until he felt a cold sensation below his legs. He looked down and noticed he had no socks nor shoes on. Alfred squealed and nearly yanked open the dresser getting a pair of socks and his black shoes. He jumped again for balance as the keys jingled and dangled in his mouth. Once he got his shoes on he fled to the entrance door, passing by floating red blobs that he didn't even bother trying seeing as to what it was. He jumped in the car and started it, rubbing his eyes and panting. "Oh fuck I can't see!" He yelled again and checked all his pockets. He groaned tiredly and ran back inside and grabbed his glasses on the counter by the entrance. He got back in the car and backed out of his driveway slowly. "Steady. Be calm" he whispered, almost out of breath. Turning to the road he left his morals and hit the gas, racing down the street with sloppy turns and turns to each road. Alfred couldn't stand the fact that he was late to his own date, not to mention a date Prepared by England to him and Russia. America breathes heavily and continued to drive recklessly before making a forced stop to near the cafe he aimed to go to. Alfred hopped out and ran into the cafe store, looking around in nervousness and fear. "Christ, where is he?" He said,choking lightly. Everyone stared at him and his heavy breathes blowing into a cloud out his mouth. It was awkward and silent which worried Alfred More. The american boy left the store and looked around, confused and worried. He cohkdnt see Russia anywhere; it began to freak him out. Almost about to choke is sadness, a large figure approaches him. A young, tall and grey-like haired man walked towards Alfred. It was Russia. "Vanya!" Alfred yelled, jumping up and down like an excited puppy. The tall man chuckled and gave him a warm and loving hug.
"Fredka, I've been waiting for you. Happy Valentine's day" the Russian said soothingly.
"Oh I've missed you. I'm so sorry I was late. I woke up late and I swear I was a zombie. I couldn't put my clothes on, I just
I lost track of- wait... Wait a minute.. Valentines day.." Alfred rambled before pausing and thinking intensely. He looked down unsure of what bothered him until he gasped. "The presents!!" He screamed as he remembered how he passed the red valentines gifts on his way out the house. Alfred yelped and screamed again before panicking again "oh my god. Ivan I left the gifts at home. I completely passed them and didn't notice. I just forgot. I'm so sorry. I know you wanted this to be perfect. I can't believe I ruined this years valentines day. I'm so sorry.. I'm just I'm so-"
"Fredka!" Ivan spoke loudly to stop Alfred's train of thought.
"Fredka.. Its okay if you forgot them. I know how forgetful you can be. " he said calmly. Alfred shook a bit, completely destroyed by the fact that he forgot everything.
"Alfred. Listen. I don't want you to be so distraught by this. I know you meant well." He continued. Ivan then slowly closed his eyes, speaking slower than before and reaching for something in his pocket.
"You know I'll always be there to remind you things and to help you. Fredka, you know I'll always forgive you and keep you with me, still looking at you with the same respect as before."
He got down on one knee.
Alfred's eyes slowly widened and he covered his mouth in disbelief.
"I'll still love you even if you forget to get me gifts. And even know I love you just for being here even if you were late. But.. I'd like to be there for you, getting your keys, cooking you meals, and reminding you of any gift in the future. At least. If you let me into your heart"
He opened up a small black box revealing a shiny diamond engagement ring, aiming towards the American.
"Will you give me your heart?
Will you let me be by your side?
Will you- marry me?"
Alfred teared up quickly before looking up and seeing all the nations aligned in a circle around them in red,white, and blue dress outfits. The young blond sniffled and nodded quickly.
"Yes! God,yes of course!" He yelled, pulling Ivan into a deep kiss. The Russian laughed a bit as he put the ring on Alfred, smiling the entire time. Everyone clapped and cheered looking at the newly engaged couple. America continued hugging Russia before whispering with a goofy smile "Be sure to remind me of my glasses from now on then."
