Day 23: Arguing

((The image above belongs to Pugishka from Tumblr.))

The small clock on the wall kept ticking as the seconds slowly passed by for Japan, who was waiting for America to come back home. It was 1:23 a.m. and there were no new messages or calls from him saying where he's at. Japan let out a heavy sigh as he slowly gets up from the living room couch and starts heading for bed with a serious look on his face. Just as he reaches the top of the stairs, the doorknob turns and small whispers and laughter could be heard as the door barely opened. Intrigued from the quiet chattering, Japan quickly hides behind a wall and listens carefully as he tries to identify the people talking. Eventually, America walks in backward as he lightly shoves someone away from the door, slowly closing the door in front of him. He quickly turns around and lets out a happy sigh, which Japan didn't like at all. Jealousy raged inside of him as he repeatedly shot narrow glares at both America and the front door.

Seeing that America was heading upstairs, Japan quickly stood in the middle of the way and crosses his arms across his chest as he began to question the happy American. "Who was that?" America slightly jumps upon hearing Japan's voice, his blue eyes widening a bit in confusion as he stopped in his tracks to look at the front door and then back at Japan.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, America! Who was that?"

"She's just an-"

"Oh, she? You like women now, is that right?"

America's eyes rapidly blink as he carefully took a few steps back. "Babe, you're overreacting. There's nothing going on between me and-"

"Then why are you home so late, huh!? Explain that!" Japan quickly interrupted not letting America finish his explanation. Starting to feel a bit annoyed, America rolls his eyes at him while keeping them closed, not wanting Japan to see that since he was so upset.

"Listen, I have my reasons. Just let me-"

"What then!? Did she want you to go to her place so you two can-"

"Can you please lemme finish?" Japan's eyes widen a bit as his face becomes more serious, his eyebrows furrowing lower as his breathing starts to become more noticeable. "Now listen! She's just an ally of mine. She wanted me to help her out with a problem she was having, that's all!" Japan quickly turns his head to the side as he loudly scoffs at the blond man, his lips forming an obvious pout.

"What's her name?"

"What?"

"What's. Her. Name?"

America's mouth fell open as he slightly shook his head in disbelief and continued walking up the stairs, shooting Japan a glare as he carefully walked around him. Japan followed America with stomping feet as he kept asking him for a name. "Tell me, America!!"

"Leave me alone, dammit!! I already told you who she was, I don't need to give you a name just so you can go and start a fight for no reason!!" America lost his temper and blew up at Japan, only causing their fight to escalate more as they raised their voices at each other.

"I want a name, now!!"

"Why does it even matter anyway!?"

"Tell me!!"

"It's very late and I really wanna sleep. I'm tired and I'm cranky. Don't effen push it, Japan!!"

"You're the one who's making it worse by not telling me who she is!!"

"I'm not gonna tell you, ever!!"

"Fine, then pack your stuff and get out!!"

Not expecting to hear that, America's face slowly turns from frustrated to confused. His lips slightly part as he kept staring at the fuming Japanese man in front of him, his small hands roughly placed on his hips as he looks back at the bewildered American. "...Wh-What?"

"You heard me! Take what's yours and get out!" Without saying another word, America slowly walks around Japan and takes a few steps behind him, quickly picking Japan up and throw him over his shoulders. This alerting Japan and caused him to let out a loud squeal. "Put me down this instant! I am not your toy, America!" America chuckles loudly as Japan desperately tries to get off, slightly kicking his feet up in the air the more he failed to do so. Seeing that Japan wasn't amused by this, he gently puts him down and begins to form a bit of a serious face, letting out a soft sigh before speaking.

"Alright, fine. I'll go then." America slowly walks out the door and stops right outside the room as he slowly turns around to see Japan one last time before leaving. Japan slightly looks back and realizes that America's things were still on the floor, articles of clothing scattered throughout the entire floor. He quickly runs out of the room to tell America that his things were still here when shortly afterward he hears the front door close. Not knowing what else to do, he slowly walks back to his bedroom and stares at America's things for a long time. Regret quickly filled inside of him as he tried so hard to hold back his tears, preventing them from falling down his face.

He still loves America, but he's afraid that he'll never come back to him.
