Terra (A Hetalia Fanfiction)

Always Near

A Week After The Party

Alfred held Alice's gun as she held the pistol in her hand. Alfred held her arms as she aimed at a row of bottles. She wore her hair back and wore a loose, long sleeve, white shirt with black leggings and black boots.

"Try to get them with one shot," Alfred said.

"I don't have to try." Alice smile. She pulled the trigger and continued to shoot without stopping. She hit all the bottles. Alice jumped and laughed. "I did it!"

Alfred smiled. "Just like Iggy taught me."

Alice turned around and faced Alfred. The memory seemed to make him happy, but said at the same time. Alice grabbed his green tie, and yanked it. He fell forward and Alice kissed him. She let go of his tie.

Behind the fence, the couple had two watchers.

"Those two are very cute together -aru," China said.

"Da, who knew those two would attract to each other," Russia said.

"They just...did -aru."

"Poor England, he must be incredibly upset."

"Yeah, -aru. But I'm also worried about her -aru."

Russia smiled. "No need to worry about her, she is very strong and powerful."

At the Supermarket

Alice held a box of rice. "Hey, Alfred, how about we do a Mexican dinner tonight?"

Alfred walked over and walked. "I prefer something more spicy." He put the box she had back on the shelf and handed her a different box.

"Ve~, they are so cute!"

"Italy! Stay focused on the mission!"

"Nani? This is a mission?"

"Of course! Did any of you listen to me just now?"

"No sir!"

Germany sighed. "One day, you're going to drive me crazy..."

"No way!" Alfred said. "The new COD came out!"

Alice looked over Alfred's shoulder to see him fawning over the game. Alfred put the game back on the shelf. "But tonight, I only what to be with you," Alfred said as he put his arm around Alice. Alice looked down and blushed. What if someone was watching?

"France, why can't we leave them alone?" Canada asked. He felt bad, he didn't want to watch them like a stalker.

France, on the other hand, wanted to watch them. "What if they kiss, and we miss that beautiful moment?"

"That's their business, not ours."

Francis put his arm on Matthew's shoulder. "Don't be a party pooper!"

At Alfred's House

Alice served up dinner, which was tacos and rice. Alfred hadn't left her side all night, like he said at the store. "I hope you like it, Alfred."

Alfred smiled, and took a bite.

"It's good!" He said with his mouth full.

Alice smiled and laughed. "I'm glad you like it, Alfred."

Alice took a seat at the table, and started to eat.

There was a flash of light, and Alice looked down, it was only lightning. Alice wasn't concerned at all. 

Back With Allison

When Allison saw the lightning, she shook in fear. When the thunder came, she screamed. Emil came running down the stairs.

"Allison!" Emil said. Allison looked up, her eyes were red from crying, and her mouth was sore from screaming. Emil wrapped his arms around the child. "Hey, hey, Allison, it's alright, I'm here." Allison grabbed a hold of Emil's shirt, and cried into it.

Immediately after, Berwald, Tino, Matthias, and Lukas came running down. Tino approached the two. Emil was shushing the child and petting her night black hair as she cried into his light blue night shirt. Allison looked up, her eyes were still red, but Tino could see that both of her eyes were green, like Alice's originally were. Matthias wouldn't dare say anything stupid. He kept his mouth shut. Tino started rubbing Allison's back. "Hey, no need to cry, we will always be here." At those words, Allison started sobbing.

Later

After crying for almost twenty minutes, Allison had fallen asleep. Emil tucked the girl into bed, and kissed her on the forehead. Somehow, this child felt...different. Alice said she'd come back for her, but she hadn't. Something told Emil that Alice hadn't forgotten, but instead she had no intention of taking her back. Was it for Alice's own safety, or her own convenience?

Emil had stood up to leave the room, and flipped the light off. He silently closed the door, being careful not to wake her up. He didn't know how lightly she slept, and didn't want to test it that night. Outside the door, Lukas had waited for him.

"How is she?" Lukas asked in a small whisper.

"She's asleep. That was completely...strange."

Lukas nodded. "It seemed unlike her."

"Let's not bother her about it."

Lukas nodded, again, in agreement. "Let's go downstairs, the others are waiting."
