Arthur P.O.V.

"Whoa, Iggy are you okay? Haha!" Laughed the obnoxious American, who's voice was now muffled by the depths quickly consuming me.

'It's not his fault he doesn't know, I guess.'

Another voice... Is that the frog?

"Alfred, where is mon petit lapin?"

'Francis,' I thought desperately; feeling my mind numbing, 'I'm down here!'

"He's in the pool Francey-pants, I think he's trying to prank me because he isn't coming up." Replied Alfred, although worry was starting to sound evident in his voice... However that may just be my senses becoming distorted. Yes, most likely, as I saw little black dots beginning to cloud my vision.

"Mon Dieu!" Francis exclaimed, "we- we need to get him out right now!"

I could almost imagine the puzzled look on the American's face as he asked.

"Why, he can swim right?" There was a pause. "Right?!"

Normal P.O.V.

Francis stood there shocked, didn't Alfred know that Arthur couldn't swim? How could that be... Oh right. The stubborn man probably never told anyone but Francis about not knowing how to swim, "it's not a needed skill" he said, "most pirates can't swim" he said.

Finally Francis came back from his thoughts and looked back up to a now paling Alfred.

"He... Can't." The Frenchman said, before quickly running back inside the house, to call an ambulance and inform the party.

Alfred didn't waste a second of time, diving into the pool to look for his former mentor. 'How could I be so stupid,' he asked himself, angrily. 'Please don't let it be too late... Please."

It was hard to find the man, it was a deep pool and it was nighttime, the light coming from the house not reaching even the poolside.

Coming up for a gasp of breath, he saw the many other nations from the party flooding outside towards the pool and some even jumping in beside him. However, it had been a long time now. He knew that nations couldn't die from injuries as it would heal easily, however what about drowning?

He shook his head furiously and dived back down.

"I've found him!" Shouted a voice, the others broke from the waters surface to see Ludwig carrying a limp body.

Alfred's eyes opened wide and got out the pool quickly.

"Le ambulance is here, just in temps too!" Francis said hurriedly, directing some paramedics with a stretcher out into the garden.

At the hospital: (Alfred's P.O.V.)

Me, Francis, Ludwig and Kiku; all sat awkwardly in the waiting room. For news of Artie. We weren't usually all together like this, this was a strange group. I chuckled coldly.

We sat in silence until Kiku spoke up finally.

"I hope Arthur-San is going to be okay."

"Of-course he's going to be okay, he's England after all!" Replied Ludwig, however he himself didn't seem so sure.

I looked over at Francis, oh. He doesn't look too good, not at all.

Damn-it, why did I screw-up so bad, I didn't know he couldn't swim! Damn-it, damn-it, da-"

The doors swung open to reveal a doctor, poker-faced and collected.

Was this bad news, good news, just tell me already!

"Are you all Arthur Kirkland's friends?" All of us, even Ludwig nodded our heads.

"Well, I have good news!" We all let out a shuddered sigh. "He is okay, it took us a while to get all that water out of his lungs. But surprisingly he made it through, it's quite the miracle actually, considering how much was in there!"

I could guess all of our thoughts then, I may be an idiot, but I knew that we were all thinking that if Arthur wasn't a nation, he'd be dead now. Dead.

"He's resting right now, you should be able to see him in the morning!"

"Um!" I exclaimed, " I would like to stay with him, have him wake up to someone he knows, yanno?"

The doctor looked at his clipboard thoughtfully before turning back to me.

"That should be alright, however you will only have a chair to sleep on-"

"That's fine!"

"Okay, well I'll be off now, warn me if his condition changes, however rare that may be!"

The doctor waved and exited through the door in which he entered.

The three other countries got up, Ludwig and Kiku left saying they would come back in the morning, knowing that they weren't the closest to Arthur.

Francis stayed to see his 'petit lapin', we walked into the room to see the sleeping Englishman.

The Frenchman rushed to his side, whilst I stood at the back guiltily.

"He looks so pale... More than usual." Francis said softly, stroking Arthur's white cheek there was a silent pause before the older man turned and started towards the door past Alfred. "I will be back in the morning as-well, I would stay however there is annoying paper-work to be done." And he left me alone with Arthur.

I sat in the chair and stared at Arthur's restful state, honestly, he looked so much more beautiful without that scowl on his face-Hold on, what was I thinking? Stupid me.

As I rested my head against the wall and my eyes drooped I got an idea.

I would teach Iggy how to swim!

There will be more chapters of this, hopefully, I got this idea from a friend and the imagination just flew down onto the page. Sometimes, I love my mind. I don't really know how good this will be, but I do like the look of it so far, so that's good. No proper update date, as I'm busy this week with school tests. But I'll probably end up doing it in my free time.

Update: some of you may be wondering why Iggy was near a pool (ESPECIALLY IN THE DARK) in the first place if he didn't know how to swim, but who said I wouldn't tell you in later chapters?

The characters in this, do not belong to me. Instead they belong to Hidekaz Himaruya. I do not believe I will include OC's. This will be mainly UsUk, but can you spot the slight FrUk? I did that unintentionally.

I did edit this as I read the reviews and I read it over again, so here's translations and I also made it easier to see who's P.O.V it is, it changes a lot in this chapter, but I'll probably settle it in the next.

Translations:

Mon petit lapin - My little rabbit

Le - The

Temps - Time
