"I have to go to war with West." Gilbert told him. America starred at him blankly.

"You… You're leaving?" He whispered looking down. Don't cry. He told himself. Don't let him see you cry…

"Yeah… I'm sorry." Alfred shook his head and smiled sadly at him.

"You have to. But you'll come back, right?" Alfred watched a sad smile etch itself onto his love's face.

"I'll try."

"Promise?"

"Promise." Gilbert kissed him. They stayed together, kissing and holding each other, for a long time. Gilbert finally pulled back, Alfred almost whimpering in protest.

"Now you have to promise me one thing."

"Anything."

"Don't let your country fall until it's time. Don't die until then, okay?"

"Promise."

"I have to go now."

"Bye…" Alfred whispered.

"Ich liebe dich" Gilbert whispered, kissing him again.

"I love you too." Alfred whispered back. Gilbert walked out of America's house and walked down the road. Alfred was sure he would never see him again.

((It's me again~ Sorry the first one is so short, I'm sure I'll have a few short chapters and then some long ones. It gets better. If you can't tell I ship PruAme... Sorry. Well, Enjoy the starting.))

((No one thinks it was good.))

((Shut up, you. I'm fabulous.))
