Clouds in the night skies (AmeCan)

Chapter 1

I shot my head up in the morning, why am I dreaming this now? I was breathing in a fast pace and I'm sweating so much. Why is there an Image of my brother in my head? Why did that memory played back?

Why am I so shock?

As My breathing became stable, I turn my head to the left side of the bed only to find Kumajiro sleeping soundly. I sighed, thinking it was for the best the Kumajiro was still sleeping after what just happened a while ago, I place the blanket further onto his shoulder and I snaked my hand onto the nightstand to find my glasses. The room was quite dim and quiet, the translucent curtains gave a mellow glow so it wasn't really hard to find everything in place. As I stepped down on my bed, I felt a cold yet delicate object on my right foot, it wasn't long before I realized that it was a picture frame of me and my brother when we were just kids. I picked it up and placed it to where it should be, I smiled just looking at it, It was earlier than a Christmas morning in America and we decided to do snowboarding somewhere..If only that wasn't just a memory.

The smell of pancakes and maple syrup roamed around the house, the sweet autumn morning just beautifies the Canadian touch of this country. Of course, this is Canada after all though this type of year happens quite rarely, Kumajiro has sat down on the table and he greeted me with a good morning.

"Good morning to you kumadenkko!" I say as I continued flipping pancakes onto the air. He crawled up in his seat and waited patiently at the dining table, he tilted his head onto the table and gave a little groan.

"Don't worry Kuma, The pancakes is almost ready.." I said as I hesitated on the maple syrup a bit when he asked if I could hurry up a bit. I placed the two dishes on the table, one in front of kumakuma and one in front of me, we began feasting our pancakes just as we spread butter on it.

Just a normal day huh?

The conference meeting has already finished and I was about to head out for lunch. Though it was the exact time to go out, I was still here in the room staring at the window where the countries began to leave. It's still a normal day for me, nothing quite unusual happened. I'm still invisible but I grew out of that system, just as soon as the countries outside began to dwindle, I finally head outside with Kuma on my arms.

"Who are you?"

I sighed "I don't need to answer that question anymore Kuma, I'm Canada"

I closed the door when I left and I began walking down the hallway. It's really quiet actually, too quiet, I guess everyone did leave for lunch except me. It's quite scary to be alone but Kuma is with me so I don't need to worry. The only things I hear is my muffled footsteps echoing in the surroundings, it's kinda weird hearing these things cause it's usually noisy around this time.

"Kuma, What would you want for lunch?"

No response

"Kuma?"

I checked down my arms and I don't see any white fur or a bear anywhere. Wait, this is a bad thing where the hell is he?! I jogged back to the place where I left and I don't see anything, shoot, he must've let go of me when I was just spacing out. I ran into a room right at the end of the hall, something I didn't see nor notice before.

"K-Kuma?" I stared at the doorknob for a while, why am I hearing noises coming inside the room? Is it just my imagination or something? Sweet maple, I don't know. The door looks really old and worn out and I'm quite nervous actually, but I have a hunch that my Kuma is in there. He just loves adventures.

"Bloody hell! Will you stay still for a moment?!"

Bloody hell? Wait, didn't I hear that before?

"Hell no! There's no way Im gonna be your lab rat dude!"

Dude? Huh? Alfred?

"You owed me!"

"That was like decades ago!"

Then I hear violent noises that sounded like whipping, breaking furniture, screaming, and kicking or whatever. It's just horrible that I fell back into shock and fear, I couldn't resist to what they're doing, I though I was alone, but why are they here and what were they doing inside that room? Wait no, I'm doing this for Kuma, but what if he's inside?

Thoughts and question ran around my head for what seemed like ten minutes, I hesitated for a while as I felt a weird sensation inside my body, this could only mean that Alfred's in trouble! I couldn't just let it slide and go away with it, I have to know what's inside! I couldn't think straight but I have to do somethin-

"AAAAAHHHH" I know that voice..

"Alfred!!" I dashed upwards and turn the doorknob for it to open and there I stood, shock on what I saw right in front of me.

Everything was upside down. Literally upside down. The furnitures were dangling on the ceiling and there are pieces of rubble everywhere, holes were made from walls and the wallpaper seemed to be turned out. Everything was foggy with purple smoke and it easily steams up my glasses.

"Hello?" I coughed as I took off my glasses to wipe them off. I couldn't see anything and my throat felt dry. I wore them again and my vision cleared yet I only see purple smoke lingering around the room. Surprisingly, someone groped my hand and I swing my head to the direction of the figure.

I sighed "Kumajiro, it's just you"

"Who are you?"

Sniff...

I froze as I heard the sniffle, letting my curiosity kick in. I've headed that once before and it's taking me back from the memories but I couldn't point out which or who however. I followed the trailed of sobs, it gets louder and louder..we'll, it's more of a scream than a cry though.

"Hello?" I say as the smoke suddenly falters and it was a little clearer than before.

".....Is anyone h-here?" The voice was squeaky and high and it really sounded familiar, it sounded really shaky like it was scared.

Kumajirou holds me hand tightly as I see a little silhouette of a boy, I was scared at first when I stared at the clothes of America's just barely touching the sole of my shoes. his uniform and everything but his jacket. I kneeled down to pick his uniform and what worries me is that one of his glass lens were broken.

Hic!

Uneasiness fills me.

"H-hello..?"

When I noticed little toes, I begin to look up slowly, making sure I study part of the figure's delicate structure.

What I noticed were the body structure of a little boy and skin which is pretty much similar to America's, he was wearing the bomber jacket of America so most of his skin were covered. His fingers were trembling and it had a tad of pink on the ends of the knuckles and knees. Now, I see part of his face where only his mouth and nose were shown. I tremble in fear when I knew he looked really familiar. As I stare at his eyes I guessed he had been crying for more than he could hold and his expression seemed to be scrunched up like he's frowning or just trying to let his tears flow; I'm not so sure.

My eyes widened in shock when I see the resemblance.

I dropped his clothes from my grip and Kuma let's go of my hand. My hands became unsteady and my breathing became unstable, why am I so shock you ask?

"America..." I say unsure.

He stares at me dumbfounded.

"Your a child again!"
