warning i do not own hetalia and its rated m for a reason

You looked at Alfred and sighed, he was gripping and wouldn't let go of your (h/c) hair you tried to move away from him rolling away on your bed but he quickly copied you. You were both 8 years old. Alfred was being babysat by your mom since his parents where on a date "will you let go already that's starting to hurt."

"I'm just showing you how the real American girls do their hair," he pulled it back into a ponytail that it was in earlier before he was playing with your hair, "you know one day I'm going to be a hero maybe ill be your hero, _."

You laughed and rolled (e/c) eyes "yeah right keep dreaming Al"

"_! watch out " Alfred pushed you out of the way only to get hit in the head with a twinkie Kiku had thrown. "Yummy, thanks Kiku but work on your aim." you laughed as both Ivan and Ludwig slapped Kiku on the back of his head. "You did that on purpose," Alfred whined Ludwig raised a eyebrow and shook his head, "_ are you alright?"

You nodded and smirked chuckling evilly and said in a half girly, half dark voice, "its alright I have the perfect payback. Oh Kiku," other than the slight shiver he didn't move or change his blank look so you walked up behind him seeing the goosebumps on his back you gave him and bear hug and a kiss on his neck.

Kiku pushed you away and yelled loudly in your apartment, "what the hell _ all that for a stupid twinkie to the head, seriously personal space."

You laughed and looked back at the other countries other than Alfred who looked like he was going to cry his eyes out, Ludwig and Ivan where cracking up. You ignored Alfred's abnormal behavior that he had lately and looked at your watch, "oh what time do we have to meet Arthur and Francis, Al?" He tapped his chin "12 I think," you looked back quickly at your watch.

"Shit we're late! Come on," you paused and looked back, "are you sure you don't want to come?" you know that they were going to say no to begin with, but it was to polite to check.

Ivan shook his head "I have things to do," Ludwig sighed, "yeah, me to. I have to get Gilbert out of the bar before he starts something," you nodded and hopped into Alfred's ford pickup. Things where always like this, Alfred didn't like you hanging out with the axis but left you be, considering that you were an adult now. The axis definitely didn't like you hanging with the allies but you were friends (well minus Kiku who seemed to have a love/hate relationship right now). Basically they kept their distances except for Al who pretty much wanted to be your hero so he followed you incase anything happened.

Alfred pulled into the tall mansion that Arthur lived in, "man, I still can't get used to his house." Alfred laughed weirdly and tossed you a McDonald apple pie, "can you hide this? The last time I left my car here Arthur broke in and stole my apple pies." He pushed his glasses up and smiled at you.

You laughed and pulled your (h/c) into a ponytail, "I ought to let him I still don't get why your still skinny."

He pouted, "you wouldn't," and then he did something weird. He grabbed your wrist and pulled you close to him. Then he brushed your bangs out of your face and looked into your (e/c) eyes "please _, please don't do that to your awesome hero," you felt your cheeks start to burn and tried to pull away from him, but his grip tightened and suddenly he looked distracted. You couldn't move because of the death grip he now had on your wrist.

"Ow, Al let go. That's starting to hurt why are you being so mean? I was just joking." He didn't let go and held your wrist, "ow, please?" You turned and followed his gaze to a blur of a person holding a gun from the distance right now the red laser was aimed on Alfred's broad chest.

"_ Please go get Arthur," he let go of your wrist but instead of going, you stood there and then moved in front of him. Only to hear a gunshot and then everything went white

~~~~~~~~ Alfred's pov ~~~~~~

I wasn't her hero, it's all my fault. I should have let her go and pushed her in the protective direction of Arthur's house. As soon as Francis and Arthur heard the gunshot, they ran out of the house. I was in to much shock to move but Francis on the other hand, did the hero thing and shot the assassin that was running away. Arthur was the smart one. He grabbed _ and sat her carefully into the back of my truck and covered her with the blanket. He then shoved me in to the truck.

"It was Spain. He shot _." Francis's thick accent filled the air and distracted me from my thoughts. He had came in with a serious face walking side by side with Arthur. They have been getting along alot better mostly because of _.

Arthur sat beside me, "she is going to be okay, the doctor said she probably won't remember anything do to the fact that she was shot in the head, but she can remember later, in due time."

I sunk my head into my knees and took off my glasses to rub my eyes, " why couldn't I tell her instead of just pausing like I did and I made up some stupid crap about how I needed her to hide something from you. I'm an idiot if we wouldn't have paused _ wouldn't have gotten shot. I promised her mom before she died I would protect _." I glanced at Arthur who was across the room with Francis whispering something in his ear.

"We have decided to help," Arthur grinned. "By giving you tips," Francis smiled and took Arthur into his arms and smiled, "just simply do and say as I say," he dipped Arthur back and kissed his neck, "Mon amour you are the most beautiful thing I have seen, please do me the honor of being my girlfriend."

Arthur must have gotten carried away because he reached up and pulled Francis down into a kiss. I knew my jaw dropped to the ground and I stood up.

They separated immediately, "uh, yeah, we meant to tell you a while ago," Arthur started.

France put his hand on his back, "we are engaged."

My jaw dropped and I muttered a congrats and walked into _'s room the nurse was still there and she nodded at me, "her morphine should be wearing off soon if you want to talk to her go ahead."

I nodded and waited till the nurse left, "_ please say something. Slap me, call me your idiot, do something, please." When she didn't respond I put my forehead on her hand, "you can't leave me, I have to see your (e/c) sparkling again, even if you don't want to see me you have to be with me, please." I couldn't help it now, the tears were flowing and I felt like I would die, "you can't leave me, _ I love you."
