Alfred sighed as Arthur dragged him along by the sleeve to the infirmary. Arthur was convinced that the American needed some medical attention after that.
"Arthur... look... I'm sorry..."
"Well... yeah. You just jumped off a fucking bridge!" Arthur got really loud each time he mentioned the bridge.
"That's not what I meant... I mean..." Alfred looked down and pulled his arm away from Arthur. "I'm sorry about everything... especially making fun of your appearance." He took a breath "There's nothing wrong with your eyebrows..."
Arthur stared for a moment "Who are you?! And what have you done with Alfred!" He shouted in a shocked tone.
"I'm just... I've been thinking..." Alfred murmured as they stood there awkwardly. "I've done some awful shit to you..."
Arthur raised an eyebrow. He was not ready to trust this annoying American yet. "Well... yeah..."
"But... I've realized I... I think I have feelings for you..."
Arthur's eyes widened for a moment before he grinned "You honestly think I'd fall for that again!? Shit! I thought you were stupid, but now I realize you're just crazy!"
Alfred felt a sharp pain in his chest, but stayed quiet.
"Wow! Here's a tip sweetheart!" Arthur leaned close with a dangerous scowl on his face. "I will never fall for your tricks again!" And with that Arthur turned and walked away triumphantly, leaving Alfred on the verge of tears.

--That Night--

"I think I'm gay..."
"MAPLE!" Matthew screeched as he choked on the syrup he was drinking out of the bottle like it was normal. "You what?!" He asked Alfred once he had finally managed to clear his wind pipe.
"I think I'm gay for Eyebrows..."
And then Matthew choked again, this time on nothing. "Kirkland?! You like Kirkland?!"
"Shut up!" Alfred hissed, while listening to make sure they were still the only ones in the room. He sighed and moved to the edge of his bed with a worried look.
"Alfred... you've been terrorizing him for the past three years..." Matthew seemed utterly confused, but tried not to think to hard on it "Plus... you can literally get any girl you want... and you want Kirkland... one of the few people who hate you with a burning passion."
"I know, but I think he's adorable... the way he puffs his cheeks out when angry, and the way his eyebrows twitch when he's confused."
Matthew looked uncomfortable "You pay way to much attention..." He murmured before continuing to gulp down the syrup.
"And you drink too much of that stuff!"
"You can never have too much maple leaf, dearest brother... never..." Matthew said while waving the bottle at Alfred.
"You're insane..."
"Says the one who wants to bang Kirkland..."
"You carry around a polar bear!"
"Kirkland~"
"Po-lar-bear!"
"There is nothing wrong with Kumajiro!" Matthew said abruptly while petting the small polar bear, that was sleeping by his side.
"You can't technically have him..." Alfred huffed while staring at his twin's bear.
"You have freedom..."
"Leave freedom out of this... she's a bird... not a bear!"
"Wait... You changed the subject!" Matthew said with an upset look on his face. He stood and walked over to Alfred's bed which was right next to his. "You can't break Kirkland's heart then instantly expect him to forgive you. You broke him... he's broken..."
Alfred looked away "You're right... but..." He sighed and shook his head "It's nothing... you're right... I need regain his trust... that is... if I can."

--The Next Day--

"Hey Eyeb- Arthur!"
Arthur turned to the annoying voice he heard and sighed. "What do you want, Alfred?"
"I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be cheering for you in your match today!"
Arthur's gaze softened slightly "Really?" He half expected Alfred to laugh in his face and call it a joke.
"Yep! I'll be cheering you on!" Alfred was happy that Arthur wasn't completely pissed yet.
Arthur managed a smile "Thanks... it's nice to know you're at least slightly decent."
"And ah... um..."
"No... don't push it, Alfred. And by the way..." Arthur glared at him "If you try anything... I'll throw you over the bridge, and this time no one will be able to save you..."
