Cross My Heart, Hope to Die (America x Autistic!Wife!Reader) *SLOW UPDATES*

Chapter 38-Friends

College classes are going to be starting for me after this weekend, so please be aware that the current stories I'm working on may be postponed for the time being due to the fact that all of these classes involve a lot (and I mean A LOT) of reading and writing. So, as a result, I've been trying to get as many chapters into these stories as I can, and since I had one more week until classes start (since I'm taking off-campus courses), I'm using that time to do so.

So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this latest chapter!

The sound of her phone dinging startled (Y/N) from her fantasy world while she was in the midst of making some more candles. Looking at the phone, she was stunned to see a picture of Aya on the screen, showing (Y/N) that she just got a text message from her. Picking up the phone, (Y/N) swept her finger across the screen to view the message.

Hey (Y/N), how are you doing dear? I hope you're feeling better.

Thomas and I were just wondering if you and Alfred wanted to come have dinner with us tonight. The kids have been asking to see you before you leave on your trip, and it's been awhile since you two visited us for dinner. If you can't make it, that's fine. However, you take care of yourself, you hear?

(Y/N) smiled at the text. Typical of Aya to mother her, but she was not going to complain one bit. It always felt nice to be cared for like that, even if that person wasn't her birth mother.

Then (Y/N) read the text again, and thought to herself. Having dinner with Aya and her family? Wow, now that she thought about it, it really has been a long time since she and Alfred had visited them for such an occasion. It wasn't like they anything else planned for today, and it's only been two days since her and Alfred's conversation with England and France, and they weren't going to be heading out until four more days.

Though, would Alfred want to go? She'll need to ask him first.

(Y/N) quickly texted back.

Hey Aya, I'm doing a lot better now, thank you for asking. I would love to come visit you and your family for dinner, but I will have to ask Alfred first. Though, in case he says yes, are you thinking of cooking or do you want Alfred and I to cook? I'm okay with whatever you decide, but just in case. Thanks again, and I'll let you know what Alfred says!

She then pressed the send button, before setting down her phone and walking out of the room. Surprisingly (or not, she couldn't decide), the house was quiet, and (Y/N) couldn't help but wonder what the other nations were up to. However, shaking her head, she approached Alfred's office, to which she knocked on the door.

Her husband's voice came through. "Who is it?"

(Y/N) traced on the door.

"It's unlocked darling. Come on in."

(Y/N) opened the door and walked inside, closing it behind her before she turned to face Alfred, who had been in the middle of working on some paperwork. She nearly winced at the sight of all that paper, and wondered what the hell her husband was working on that required so much killing of trees.

Regardless, she walked up towards the desk.

"What's wrong darling?" Alfred asked, voice full of concern. "Is everything alright?"

"Uh?" Realizing how she sounded, (Y/N) smiled sheepishly and signed. Oh no, everything's alright. I just wanted to ask you something real quick.

Alfred blinked. "What is it?" he asked.

I got a text from Aya. She was wondering if we wanted to have dinner with her and her family tonight. She said it's okay if we decline, though, while I don't have anything going on today, I just wanted to ask you to see if you wanted to go to. Well, you appear busy, so...
