America - The bubbly, happy, hamburger loving nation. A guy like him can never be upset or down... Right? It's hard to be happy when everybody is against that. It's also hard to love yourself when it seems like nobody else loves you. {Note: **TRIGGER WARNING!!! There is a lot of stuff dealing with eating disorders, possible self harm, and possible mention of suicide!** Ps: I don't have depression or an eating disorder or anything, I've just done research on it!}

*This is the older version-Rewrite will be out soon* Some day, everyone's had those days where it isn't even worth getting out of bed... Well not everyone can face those gray days with a idiotic smile on their face quite the same way America can. But what will happen when even a smile can't solve the problems you face everyday. Follow the events leading up and after when the world's most idiotically cheerful country just can't handle it anymore. (I don't claim to own the hetalia cast, only the plot of the story and how I write it)

It's finally America's turn to hold a meeting in his country. Let me just tell you, he's a nervous wreck... Just as he thought the meeting was running smoothly some unknown and rather loud children, claiming to know Alfred and calling him Dad? •I accept suggestions just no shipping• -just some wholesome father Alfred and drama in the US household- (Also there is going to be a lot of the midwestern states because I'm from Illinois, and there isn't enough of the Midwest states) -COVER ART IS NOT MINE- -I DO NOT OWN HETALIA- #1-States (6-1-20) #1-Hetalia (6-25-20) #1-aph (10-10-20) #2-nations (5-3-21)

No Ships! i do be cringing at this very hard but I'll keep it up for y'all. note that the quality is very questionable and like most people i've reflected on the cringiness <3 The Ancients saw many of their children and grandchildren suffering alone, no one noticing the other's pain. The fake mask, the 'happy' countries wore. The secrets they all hid. The Ancients couldn't let this just happen, they came up with a plan. America was the unfortunate victim and test subject. America is the happy, joyful, always smiling, and loud country, but what if everything they know about him is a lie? A mask no one could see through. The mask no one tried to look through. There was a lot they didn't know about him. A lot he hid from them. A lot he kept inside his cracking heart. Secrets will be spilled, and skeletons will come out of the closet. Feelings kept inside for so long, will come out. The sides of America they never knew of will come out today. The mask will come off today. The mask that's been worn for so long. Will he be saved? What happened to America? Who is America really? How many lies have been told? How many hearts will be broken? Did they ever know America at all? How many friendships will be built, and how many destroyed? How long has America deceived them all? How will they see America now? Will America come out of this better or worse? Was doing all of this right? Only time will tell. WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️: Mentions of suicide, eating disorders, self harm, other mental disorders, and depression.

"Those eyes were ravenous, hungry for power and would do anything to get it.  And in Russia's eyes that is what was truly beautiful. He would do anything in his power to make those beautiful, powerful, icey blue eyes his and his alone."

(Warning kind of gory) Russia absolutely can't stand the sound of America's voice. When America comes over uninvited with a couple of drinks Russia unexpectedly slits America's throat. He isolates America in his home and enjoy's the fact that America can't speak anymore. Although as the months go by America begins to get used to and almost enjoys his forced silence; something Russia can't seem to understand, until he stumbles upon one of America's many written letters. When Russia is trash talked at a meeting he storms out on America during blizzard. They learn that their lonely pain and angst towards the world are not so different.

America's mother is pissed. She's tired of seeing all the other nations gang up on her son... so, why not make them watch his memories!

(READ DESCRIPTION) Hullo, another story yay. This holds boyxboy, malepreg, and smut- gay smut. Also a happy family and a hormonal Brit. Warning: The smut part is in chap seven. This is short, but it's something I suppose and I hope you all will like it. Thank you.

heart·ache /ˈhärdˌāk/ noun emotional anguish or grief, typically caused by the loss or absence of someone loved. ////// Alfred had been getting better. Happier, more honest. He had become a healthy weight and was finally able to stop taking his anti-depressants. He had finally gotten past that part of his almost-eternal life. Or so he- no. Everybody thought. But something began to go wrong. A sudden wave of sadness and pain sent him thrown back into the darkness. Each time he tried to escape, he was thrown farther in. He falls back into his old ways, hiding his sadness, purging his stomach of food. All because of someone he called his friend. ////// The way they looked at each other... All the progress I had made in the past four months had crumbled at the sight. Then, my stomach churned at what happened next. They kissed. I could practically feel my heart cracking, breaking as if the Russian himself crushed it. I thought he liked me... I almost whimpered aloud. I turned my back on them before they could realize my presence, and disappeared into the crowd.

de·pres·sion /dəˈpreSH(ə)n/ Noun feelings of severe despondency and dejection. ///// America does very well in hiding his depression from the other nations, using his hero persona to mask the real him. The mess he was and what an utter failure he felt like. The mask begins to slip, revealing a tiny bit of the person he tries so hard to forget. When the other nations take notice, they start to suspect that their superpower isn't as happy as he seems. ... Book 1 of the Mask series (Book 2 being made)
