Chapter 3

Neither me or mlphetalialuv owns Hetalia

~Alfred's POV~

I laid on the couch without a blanket, most people would have a hard time sleeping like this, but not me. That's the only way I've ever been able to sleep. Soon enough I fell asleep, wondering why Arthur was helping me. I knew what would happen eventually, we would get close and I would trust him fully, then he would destroy me. It wouldn't be the first time it happened. But, I like him, I really do. I know that he'll break my heart one day but I can't help it, there's something about him.

I woke up with a pain in my back, I opened my eyes and saw I was on the bed. I groaned as I got up and moved down to the floor. I was starting to fall asleep again when I heard a crash coming from another room, I flinched at the loud noise but ignored it. I just wanted to sleep, not investigate. But, then I heard someone talk, it was slurred so I guess they were drunk.
"Bloody why!" An English accented voice called. Then I realised it was Arthur, but why would he be getting drunk at this time? It must've been around 4 in the morning, why was he up this late? He didn't seem the type. Getting rid of those thoughts I closed my eyes again, hoping nothing would interrupt me this time.

I was woken up by someone nudging me. I cracked open my eyes and winced in pain. Arthur was nudging me, he looked like he hadn't sleep at all.
"Your up" he slurred slightly, he probably had a hangover. Serves him right for drinking so late at night.
"What do you want?" I asked. I was pretty scared, I hated people when they had been drinking, they did bad things.
"Nothing. Why are you on the floor? I put you on the bed"
"The bed hurt my back" I said. I wasn't really scared anymore, he didn't look like he was going to do anything. I doubted he would in the first place really, he looked at me like no-one ever had, every time he did I had to suppress my blush.
"Okay, there's bottles in the kitchen, don't go in there. I'm going to have a shower" he said as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I heard the water turn on and I waited for him to come back, not really sure what to do with myself. I got up off the floor and just stood there, it was his place and I didn't want to do anything without his permission. Soon enough he came out the bathroom. Naked. I blushed and quickly covered my eyes, although I was extremely tempted to take a look I didn't, out of respect. He seemed totally oblivious to the fact that he had walked out naked.
"Why are you blushing and covering your eyes?" He asked, he didn't seem hungover anymore, maybe the water helped.
"Y-Your naked..." I said, never imagining I would need to say those words to anyone. Let alone him. The guy I was pretty sure I had feelings for, well, right now I was sure I felt something for him.
"So I am, but we're both men, it's nothing you won't have seen before" I still kept my eyes closed, the blush on my face not disappearing. I heard doors creak open and fabric crumpling, I guess he was putting some clothes on.
"You can look now" he said and I slowly took my hand away. He was wearing things on the bottom and was pulling on a t-shirt.
"Did I get you the right clothes? I would hate for you to go back there" I nodded as I inspected the items in the bag. He nodded in return and went to the kitchen, bottles were clinking and being thrown in the bin, I used this time to get changed into fresh clothes. He came back when I was finished dressing and frowned.
"Those clothes look big on you, are you sure they're yours?".
"Yeah they're mine" I muttered. All my clothes were too big for me.
"I'll give you some of mine, they won't be as big on you" he said as he rooted around in his wardrobe. "Can I ask more about your locket?"
"Okay" I said quietly.
"You said your brother gave you it. What happened with you two?" He asked as he handed me the clothing items.
"He left me for an insane person that was his guardian, he chose to leave me" I felt tears form in my eyes and my voice was a whisper.
"I'm sorry, that couldn't have been easy for you" Arthur said, trying to console me.
"The last time I saw him he told me he hated me and ripped the necklace I gave him and threw it at my feet" I continued. Arthur stepped forward and hugged me, I couldn't hold back, I hugged him back and started to cry.
"It's going to be okay" he said comfortingly.
"A-And to make matters worse he goes here too! He doesn't even pay attention to me!" I said in between sobs.
"Can't you talk to him?"
"I think he might hurt me, he said he hated me and would hurt me if he ever saw me again" I muttered.
"I can talk to him if you like, after the break is over" he said calmly. It made me feel better.
"Thank you" I muttered as I freed myself and walked out the room.
"Where are you going?" Arthur asked me.
"For a walk" I said as I closed the door.
