Alfred was driving home from his new job. When he got there he realized he didn't have any food so decided to walk out for a while and stop at the nearby McDonald's; he was in dire need of a burger, French fries and a milkshake. The weather report had said that it was going to be sunny, but dark gray clouds started to come out and from the looks of it, it was about to rain. When was the last time the sun came out? Alfred was starting to get that feeling again. It always happened on the same day when he thought of…him. "Shit it's been that long huh? Well I better hurry before it rains; I'd hate to have to eat a wet burger and fries" he stood there in front of the doors for a little while longer thinking, before stepping out. He quickly ran and ordered his dinner, paid then ran out again. Half way to his apartment he heard his name being called out.
"Alfred! Hey! Wait up!"
"Feliciano! Slow down!"
He wasn't in the mood for talking he just wanted to get home and maybe play the new video game that Kiku lent him, he might probably go to a bar later, anything really he just needed to do something to get his mind off of him. But walking away after he heard them yelling for him seemed rude and he was raised better than that so he just put on of his amazing smile's and turned to see what they wanted so he could go home eat his burger and try to get his mind off the past and all the memories it held.
"Hey Alfred! I finally caught up to you!" The voice belonged to Feliciano, a hyper Italian with brown hair, brown eyes, with a small build, stood there looking at him with a warm friendly smile on his face. Feliciano was one of the happiest, sweetest, and caring-est, if that even was a word, person he'd ever met; he was so innocent in some ways that it made it impossible for anyone to stay mad at him for longer than a second. He was nothing like his older brother Lovino, who would threaten to kill you if you so much as walk by him. Alfred smiled a bit at those memories of Lovino punching him in the face for things he couldn't quite remember.
"Hello Alfred" Said the deep voice next to Feliciano. It was Ludwig. Ludwig was a tall German with a muscular build. He had blond hair and blue eyes that were as blue as the sky on a cloudless day. He wasn't one to talk much and was always seen with Feliciano that could talk for hours straight without stopping, they made an interesting pair and no one seemed to think anything of it. So it came with no surprise when he saw that they started to hold hands as soon as Ludwig caught up to him.
Seeing that Alfred started to have a small pain in his heart, Ludwig and Feliciano weren't there when that happened so they don't really know exactly what happened between them, of course Alfred was in no place to deny anyone from repressing their love in front of him though. He just…had to get over it; mustering up all the happiness in his voice he could get he responded. "Hey! So what brings you here" Alfred said trying to act as normal as possible.
"We have something we…uh want to…tell you." The usually stiff German was turning red by his own words.
Alfred's interest being piqued as he watched the unusual display of emotions from the German he waited to hear what they had to say.
Not being able to hold his excitement back anymore Feliciano stated rather loudly "We're getting married!"
"Married! No way dude! That's great! Who popped the question?!"
Feliciano laughed and Ludwig turned red with the seemingly innocent question. After Feliciano settled down enough to answer the question Ludwig spoke up. "I-I did" Feliciano clung to Ludwig harder and smiled wider.
Married…I guess it's about time that they get married. I wonder…if we had stayed together, me and…him…would we have gotten married as well? Shaking his head of his morbid thoughts he continued to smile, a bit more strained this time. "So how did you ask? Did you take him out on a romantic date? Or was it during the middle of-"Alfred was cut off short by a hand on his shoulder.
"Now mon ami what they do in their private time is their business." Said the French man next to him. It was Francis, an annoying pervert, as Alfred liked to call him, with blond hair cut at the shoulder and blue eyes. He was one of the only ones that was there at the time of…that…happening.
Suddenly the memory of that day came back, crashing into him. It was all so vivid, all playing right before his eyes.
The sun had finally decided to show up and Alfred was finally able to spend some time with his boyfriend. "Alfred! Come on let's go inside the heat is starting to get to me" Alfred turned to the direction of the voice and saw Arthur.
"Aw come on Atrie when was the last time the sun came out? We should enjoy it!" Smiling Alfred didn't notice the look on Arthur's face as he kept on walking to the along the side of the lake.
If only I listened to him that day…Alfred's thoughts were interrupted by Francis. Pulling down Alfred, Francis whispered "Listen it's no use to continue blaming yourself for what happened that day, it's been a year now. It's not your fault, now come back down to earth for a moment and pretend for your friends, okay?"
"…Alright" Having nothing more to say to Alfred, Francis continued talking to Feliciano about the wedding and old times when they were children. It's no use… Alfred sighed; he then reluctantly went back to talking with Ludwig while making him turn different colors of red in the process.
After some time had passed Feliciano, Ludwig and eventually Francis who continued to try to get Alfred to forget about Arthur and move on, which didn't help at all and only made him think of him more, left it had started to rain.
"Great now my burger and my French fries are cold." Saying to no one in particular Alfred ran home trying to get out of the rain as soon as possible. That night Alfred had the same dream he's been having for months since that happened. It was of his last day…with Arthur.
It was like any other day. The sun had finally decided to show up and Alfred was finally able to spend some time with his beloved boyfriend Arthur. "Alfred! Come on let's go inside the heat is starting to get to me" Alfred turned to the direction of the voice and saw Arthur, he was breath takingly beautiful Alfred thought.
"Aw come on Atrie when was the last time the sun came out? We should enjoy it!" Laughing and smiling Alfred didn't notice the look on Arthur's face as he kept on walking the along the side of the lake.
"Alfred…I…uh have something I that I need to tell you". Alfred turned around to look back at Arthur and didn't like what he saw. Arthur was nervous, not the confessing nervous, no, it was the type of nervous you get when you see the doctors bringing bad news of a loved one in surgery.
"What is it?" Completely clueless as to what it could be he looked at Arthur with an expression that is rarely seen on his face. Worry.
"I-I have to go…I can't see you anymore Alfred." Alfred paled immediately after hearing those words. He didn't want to hear anymore, he knew that this would happen he knew but he thought that…
"I-I don't know what to do. You say you love me but I always see you with other girls and I'm not sure my heart can take it anymore." Arthur was now shaking and Alfred thought he could faintly hear him crying. He wanted to go to him, to comfort him, he wanted to explain that those girls he was with meant nothing to him and that it was a part of his job to entertain his client's, but he was rooted to the spot and couldn't open his mouth and just watched as Arthur walked past Francis, who heard everything while making lunch in the kitchen.
Alfred woke up the next morning, on the floor in a tangled mess of sheets somehow, with an idea that never occurred to him before; he would go look for Arthur and try to win him back. It was perfect because he was a hero and heroes never lose. "Alright! I can't be a hero without my damsel in distress!" Saying that he quickly changed and in less than a minute was out the door.
