Along The Recovery Is a New World

Dreams

Your prov-
The lighting crashed in the house as the weather outside worsened, the sound of a scream rang out. Small feet padded on the floors of the hall and as your bedroom door was swung open. You sit up and look to see your younger sister Dahlia standing the shaking. You crawled out of bed and ran up to her and cradle her.
"Lila, are you okay? Did the lightning scare you awake." You ask. She looks at you with her puppy dog eyes and nods her head.
"Can I sleep with you to night please? I'm scared of the big noise (Y/N)!" She asked and stilled as the thunder once again rumbled.
"Okay Lila just for tonight" You both walked back to your bed and lay down to sleep.

~~~~~~~~
Tears, he woke up in tears. In a big empty bed, in his big empty house.
Lila isn't here anymore, she hates you, so does your older brother and most of the other countries you are alone and empty.
He walked to his mirror and looked, his (H/L) (H/C) was a mess. It stuck out in every direction, and his eyes were puffy.
How long had it been since you actually cried? Or felt anything at all? You need to eat, it's been a few days since you had a full meal.
He walked downstairs and saw a note on his front door, from his boss.
Hey good morning, I dropped off some paper work today. I hope you start feeling better, I want to see you smile again soon. Let's meet for lunch at Harley's
She is one of the nicest people he knows, currently, but still even for her he can't come to change.
Is that why they all abandoned you? Because you couldn't help them? Because you left and won your own spot as a country?
Maybe it's all of them, he's just a screw up. Can he even come to think of the war supplies, he hurt England when he tried to keep (Y/N). He was empty and wanted freedom- Lila got it, Alfred and Mathew got it, why couldn't he? And now he is empty.
When was the last time he talked to another country? Years, maybe twenty maybe forty, he couldn't remember. It was very formal, stiff, it was sad and before that it was maybe sixty years of just sad only formal and stiff meeting.
----time skip-----
"Alright I'm loving seeing you around and all but this meeting isn't purely for our friendship." Katie said "The other counties have requested to see you." He looked off, as if trying to ignore the sentence.
"Why, I don't want to see anyone, they can leave me alone." He said, not wanting see anyone today.
"(Y/N), they are coming today, me and you are going to hang out then head back to the Lecto and you will talk to them." He looked down at his ripped black skinny jeans, an old worn dark red sweater. His hair is even more of a mess, not having fixed it after he woke up. He had a nose piercing in even.
"You know what, I don't care." He said standing up and putting his money on the table. They went to the car that is waiting for the both of them.
"Are you wanting to change?" She asked eyes sweeping his form. He shook his head, eyes downcast at the sidewalk.
~~~~~~

"Hello other leaders, I'm happy to have you and your personifications with us!" Katie said smiling and walking into the meeting room that had been set up for them.
"As you know this is Athila, the countries will stay at his house so if you will lead them to the cars and show them around." She smiled at his and he nodded quickly.
People in the house, either than (Y/N)? That's new, seeing as he hadn't had anyone over in years. He doesn't like many people being there, it gets even lonelier.
~~~~~~~

"This is the living room, it's the only other room you'll need either than bathrooms and bedrooms, the pool is in the back, don't get lost and more importantly do not go anywhere with a 'no' sign on the door." He told them.
"We are going to Lo Bolg for supper, it's a fancy place so dress nice." He turned and walked to his bedroom- after making a vague gesture of good bye.
~~~~~~~

"It's a very big house." England says looking at the living room which is the same size of a London apartment. The others nod
"I can't do this." Dahlia says her voice small and sorrowful.
"Listen, we all now what we did is wrong, we totally abandoned him, left him and... and..." America was beginning to cry.
"And we all regret it." German said Italy's head hidden in his neck to hide his face. Everyone is silent the feelings in the room sting and forceful.
"I remember this place, it's almost exactly the same as it once was." Russia said looking around seeing everything as if they were still happening.
"The chandelier is new, I remember the first time he had to have it replaced. Denmark and me and Alfred were swinging around on it, and, and, a-" Gilbert was in tears he couldn't finish the story, it was so.
"And it broke and he wasn't mad only afraid for you." Sweden piped in, Finland was holding his arm.
"We're talking like he's, like he's dead. His here in a room, in this house still." Francis said,
"Its hard to say that, you visited him a few times after it, even if it was only political. You know that it's hard to say he's alive when we are dead to him." Arthur said he and Dahlia holding each other.
"I was supposed to be an older brother, he only want his independence to keep us safe." Arthur said.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't gotten angry at America then the war wouldn't have started, aru" China said.
"I joined, I was the one he was really worried about." Russia said.
"Hey, if anyone's to blame then it's all equal." Canada said.
"We all messed up, honestly we shouldn't have started the war. By the end of that war he was protecting all of us, not just one half. He was being a peacekeeper and we all used that. Then we all blamed him, so don't try to carry it on your own." He was right, Canada could tell it as it was after the war. Everyone just blamed Athila, and couldn't look at themselves.
"I'm going to get ready, I think we all should. The best thing we can do is try to become acquainted with him for now." Ludwig said and all of them dispersed.
