"How the heck am I going to get inside?" He muttered, scratching the back of his head. Alfred doubted Arthur would be of much help, considering he was banging on the postbox asking to be let in. He hadn't noticed it before, but he realised Arthur was sweating, Arthur must be sick. How he didn't realise before is a mystery- even to the author.

Alfred came up with the conclusion that there must be a spare key somewhere. Sure enough, two minutes later he found a key in his porch light. He hadn't meant to. Alfred had just got so impatient that he ended up smashing it and finding the key by chance.

"Who the hell puts their key in a porch light?" Alfred mumbled, unlocking the door before going back to fetch his sick friend. Picking Arthur up again, Alfred nearly fell over multiple things, including newspapers, various books and a few random teabags that Arthur had obviously scattered about in his sick scramble to get to the meeting this morning, as he walked through the front door.

Alfred picked his way over the living room and up the stairs, not noticing the Brit had snuggled up into his chest and was sleeping softly until he had found his bedroom. A bright red dusted Alfred's cheeks as he realised this.

Just as Alfred was laying Arthur down on his king size bed to sleep off his illness, the Englishman awoke. Alfred turned to leave until his bomber jacket's sleeve was clutched by a hand. Alfred turned to see Arthur's bright green eyes looking directly into his sky-blue ones.

"Alfred, stay and cuddle me, please?" Arthur said, tugging his sleeve to brin him closer to the bed.

Alfred sighed but took of his jacket and got under the covers with him, Arthur immediately snuggled up close to him, causing the other to blush like crazy.

Alfred lay there awkwardly as Arthur wrapped his arms around him. Soon enough, light breathing could be heard from him. The American couldn't help but force his breathing to match the smaller's. Alfred's eyes became heavy with exhaustion as he replayed the day's events. Eventually falling asleep, said boy couldn't help but hug Arthur back unconsciously.

Arthur smiled in his sleep.

-----------------------------------------------

Arthur woke up in the middle of the night to a creaking door, he looked over at Alfred only to realise he wasn't there.

Once again, Alfred had left him in a weak moment.

Arthur couldn't help but let tears slip out, everyone he loved abandoned him.


Alfred walked through the door, yawning, although as soon as he saw Arthur crying he ran over to the man and pulled him into a tight, but gentle, hug. Arthur stiffened as he was pulled into said hug, but wiped his eyes and reduced his sobbing to sniffling.

"Arthur why are you crying?" Alfred asked softly, rubbing Arthur's back in a comforting way.

"I-I th-thought you had l-left me," Arthur said inbetween small hiccups, "You've done it before, and s-so h-ave many other countries." He carried on.

Alfred frowned. He had just wanted to show Arthur he was mature enough.

He tilted his head towards him, and pulled Arthur into a soft kiss, one that meant if Arthur wanted to he could pull away and they'd act like it never happened, one that showed Alfred hadn't meant to hurt him. This kiss signified regret and so many other emotions.









Arthur didn't pull away.

He smiled into the kiss. In fact, he kissed Alfred back.

-----------------------------------------------

Arthur awoke the next morning feeling enlightened. He looked over at Alfred and smiled.

"Damn, I'm a bloody well good actor, I should look into it as a part time hobby or job." He murmured to himself.

A sudden white light from the window caused Alfred to wake up. Arthur looked to the window to see a white suit turning and running in the opposite direction.
