"Pocket Watch"

Characters:

Alfred Jones (United States)

Arthur Kirkland (United Kingdom)

※This is a fanfic plus only few details I know about Hetalia since I'm not in the fandom already. I easily got tired about it (No Offense to those die hard Hetalia fans) I just got this idea cause I want to do it for a friend. Plus I had this story for a while now and the characters are originally a boy and girl pairing. All I did is just make the girl into a boy and make them Alfred and Arthur. Pretty easy right?

Plus this is just a soft yaoi or what was it called? PG13? So no hard Yaoi. I believe they call it Bluff

So anyway~ Let's start! :3

※Before I start, I just want you guys to know that the characters are in their High School days, summer. So they're not adult, based on what I saw on Doujins and on what my friend usually tells me.

"Summer vacation starts tomorrow huh?" I said, in a monotone.

"Whoa~ what's with your tone? You hate it? It's like what students really want!" Francis said with such sparkle in his eyes. And I definitely know what he's thinking.

"How can you be so… high? Must be because of your girlfriend."

"W-WHAT!?" he said much to his surprised. Guess I hit the spot. "W… well. She and I should make… you know? Memories. If you know what I mean." Then he had this pervish smile. So disgusting.

"You… have the most dirties mind." I said while frowning a little.

Then I thought Hey… how did he ever became my friend?

Then I remembered I have to leave already. No one's home anyway, since my parents are usually home late night.

"Hey I'll be going now. Still have stuffs to do at home."

"Like what? Computer and such?" he said

"Mind your own business. See ya." Then I left.

As I was leaving our classroom, I was observing the students around me. They seem really excited about the summer vacation. As for me, well… I don't really have anything to do. You see, my family's pretty rich. I already have anything a guy would want but… I'm not really that kind of person. I want to be independent on my own. I even want to live alone, but my parents wouldn't want me to do that. They said I can do that when I reach college. Man that'll be like, 2 years from now on. I can't wait any longer, but this is my only chance. I wanna know what I can do. My parents said that I'm very much welcome to come back anytime, since they really love me a lot. And I thank them for that. I love them too. It's just that their only son is kind of a monochrome person. If you get what I mean.

I'm on my way home. Before I go home, I usually pass by around this part of the city. There's this really huge tree. And it's the prettiest one I ever saw in my life. But what's weird is that it's in the very heart of the city. Pretty funny huh? Like "What's a huge tree doing in this big city?"

After checking it out for a little while, I pretty calmed down. Though I'm usually calm, just looking at this tree makes me really peaceful. For some reason, it's like the smell of the countryside. No matter how I look at it, for some reason it just makes me smile. So after that, I went straight home.

I had to ride a Monorail then from there, I walk.

I finally reached back home. As I open the door, my dog greeted me with a jump and kept on leaping and wagging its tail. How adorable.

"Welcome home, master!" our head maid said. I just smiled and said,

"I'm home. I bet they're still not yet home."

She smiled wryly. From that expression I knew. There's a possibility that they won't be back home. Maybe a day, week, month, or maybe even a year. They're always like that anyway. I sometimes wonder if they're the reason why I'm like this.

"I'm heading to my room." I said then just walked straight ahead.

I asked my mom if I can have a normal room. Like what normal guys usually have. My parents agreed but I still have my original room. My original room's full of "rich" things and I don't like there much. Even though it's pretty huge. I like it better on my current room. More… normal.

"Finally home!" I said with a smile and lay off on my bed. Still wearing my summer uniform.

It's so quiet in my room that I don't know what to do other than computer games.

"Ah! Back to my routine." Then straight to my laptop.

As I open my laptop and had it on my desktop, I did nothing but just kept on clicking the mouse.

"Wow, I'm pretty bored. Guess I should go to sleep and do my routines tomorrow."

So that's when I decided I'll start my routine tomorrow.

It's been a week already since our summer vacation start. And I must say… it's scorching hot as hell!

I had to wear sleeveless undershirt everyday! I kept on sweating as well. Good thing we always have ice cream but sometimes it just doesn't help.

It's already 10am and the sun's really hot at this kind of time. But I just really wanted to check out that tree. And maybe I could think of something else to do as well. So I get myself ready and left.

It was such a hot day, really. Good thing the tree was huge enough to give me some shade. And it was warm. That's good. I find it kinda funny cause even though the tree was in the city, it was really quiet. You'll hear the cicadas cry, makes it feel more like summer. And because I was below the tree, the summer heat wasn't as hot as this morning. It was rather warm, calm… so calm that I had a nap… In Public!

After sleeping for 2 hours, something hit my head. It seems hard and metal.

"Ow!"

That little thing fall off on my lap. It's a pocket watch. A really, pretty pocket watch. And it kind of seems weird too.

"What's a pocket watch doing up the tree? I doubt someone threw it."

I tried opening it. And yeah, just like what a normal pocket watch would look like. And there was a letter too.

Don't use it. Someone you hold dear will …

That's what it all said.

"Someone I hold dear… huh? I doubt it."

So I stood up and fixed myself. As I was about to leave, I saw someone. He has a kind of light blonde hair and emerald green eyes, he doesn't seem to be around this place, since I'm always in this place. I approached him.

"Hey! You!" whoa! I just approached someone! That's so not like me! The guy looked back. He raised an eyebrow. And wow, his eyebrows are so thick. I wonder if he's a foreigner.

"You… must be new here…" I said awkwardly. He just looked at me and kinda frowned.

"What do you want?"

"Huh? Uh… I was just… befriending.."

"Hmm… I don't need it."

Wow… such attitude. Pisses me off.

"Fine!" I kind of accidentally yelled at him and left him.

As I was leaving I kind of look back at him from time to time. I don't know what's wrong with me but for some reason I just can't leave him. So I went back.

"Hey…"

"You again? What's up with you?"

"I'm Alfred. Pleased to meet you. I… I'm sorry if I yelled at you." I said and I kind of feeling guilty. Then I looked at him and he was just staring at me and seems to be questioning my intentions.

"Why are you telling me your name? It's not like I asked."

"I dunno." I said, even I, myself was wondering. Then I heard him chuckled.

"You're weird."

Haha. Look who's talking. I said so to myself. Then he suddenly smiled, such warm smile. Pretty, in fact.

"I'm Arthur. Arthur Kirkland." He said while smiling.

Okay so that's it~~ :3

The cliffhanger thingy well.. I was inspired reading Percy Jackson series and they're usually a cliffhanger. Especially on each chapters~~ so yeah.

I already have the other chapters ready.. ON MY HEAD. But right now I want to end it here~~

I hope you liked it cause this was my first USUK fanfic. And the story from my original plot was… kinda of different. Well that's a whole different issue since this is USUK while the original is soft shoujo thingy so yeah. :3

Thanks for reading! :3
