Summary: Alfred and Kiku had confessed their love and it seemed simple. But having no consequences out of something so small such as a confession would be too simple for a nation. Under the stars they confessed, they were just two humans. But to the world, they were nations. As much as they love each other, they had their duties of being nations; something they can't ever quit. Being in a relationship was hard enough, but Kiku ending up getting pregnant after the one time they made love only made it difficult. But no matter what happens, they have each other. And that's what matters.

I have never really written mpreg before. And well I decided to just have this be my first story on this site 'cause why not? And not to mention the lack of ameripan mpreg stories kind of appall me. I think it'd be cute personally so I decided to try it out. Well, I hope you guys will enjoy it because I have no idea what I'm getting into. Well I want to do a thing where I tag things I think will be triggering on each chapter instead of doing it all at once along with ships and stuff. Since this is the first chapter, I'll just have all the ships I plan to include but there's no guarantee it will be in the story just so you know.
It began with a confession under the star filled sky, with sake and ramune soda on their breaths as they shared their thoughts on the air. The memories of the festival Kiku had taken Alfred to were still fresh in their heads along with the stuffed animals they had won for each other.
They were sitting on the veranda of Kiku's home when they confessed. While his home still seemed traditional on the outside, it was quite modern on the inside with electricity, plumbing, running water and actual walls instead of the thin walls Alfred always tore through. Alfred had to admit that he loved Kiku's house because of how relaxing it felt. It felt like no matter how modern Kiku was becoming, he still had those small things that let him be connected with his traditional ways and he admired him for that.
And maybe that was why it was so easy to confess.
The speeches were forgotten but 'I've loved you for a long time' was best to summarize the conversation.
When the confessions were told and nothing else needed to be said, they were stuck in the silence of not even knowing what to do next.
"...So do you want to kiss...?" Alfred asked, his face was pink with the question. One would think Alfred was good at romance, knew how to flirt and get his way since he was partially raised by Francis but that was obviously not the case. He was raised mostly by Arthur after all.
Kiku chuckled softly at the man's question, finding it endearing, "Of course." He replied as he leaned up to kiss Alfred gently. That was their first kiss underneath the starry sky. The gentle breeze of the cool night brushing against them, making the kiss seem all the more passionate. They were warm soft lips, almost addictive and it wasn't until they needed air did they pull away.
Eventually, they had to go to sleep and both of them were admittedly awkward at this. Sleeping in the same bed seemed to be cute and inviting. They hadn't done anything more than kissing or cuddling. Their arms were wrapped around each other as they talked softly about almost anything until they fell asleep.
Their relationship had begun that same night. It didn't take long for nations to discover that they were dating but didn't find it a surprise. They always hung out together for so long that it wasn't a surprise they'd eventually develop feelings for each other. While one was calm, the other was loud. One gave their opinion only when asked, and the other didn't. They were polar opposites; the sun and the moon to be compared but they had managed to bounce off each other to create beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Their middle ground.
Their relationship was basically inseparable in the month they became officially a couple. It seemed like being allowed to call each other their partners allowed their closeness to only expand.
Their relationship was lived off of skype calls and meeting each other in America and Japan. No one knew how it worked but their three-month relationship lived exactly that way and worked. They were in a season where their bosses didn't require much of them to do so they came and went as they pleased.
The times where seeing each other was easy had been drawing to a close. Alfred's boss called him and he was requiired to do work that would hold him hostage in his house for up to a month or two. And with Kiku, he had to attend his meetings with his boss. The fun and relaxing part of their times were gone for the year and along came the busy work. There was nothing to be done but to spend as much time as they could for now before the last day.
And the last day came before they knew it. They were outside, sitting in the grass of Kiku's backyard with Pochi and Tama asleep by a patch of flowers. Alfred had his head on Kiku's lap. He Allowed Kiku to run his gentle and small fingers through his hair as he looked up at him. He sometimes glanced at his hands, noticing the very faded scars in his hands from wars in his early days. He knew how Kiku hated his scars and how there were scars much more than just his hands.
"I won't be able to see you for a month. I know we've probably not seen each other much longer than that but I'll still miss you a lot."
"I know. But at least you live in New York. When it's night for you, it's morning for me. We can talk through Skype like we always do..."
"I guess...but it's not the same. But at least we know we'll see each other in a month, right?"
"Yes, hopefully, that'll be the case if all goes well. Just promise to not sneak off during the congress meetings."
Alfred averted his eyes, an obvious look of disgust at the mention of them. He muttered under his breath, "...not my fault that there's a Subway and space museum nearby..."
Kiku chuckled lightly at that, "There will be a time for those things. I know you're smart so use that intelligence to get through those meetings."
"Oh alright..." Alfred replied. Though he knew it wouldn't hurt to skip at least one meeting once a year...
"Hey, do you want some sake?" Kiku asked after a few moments. He knew to change the subject since convincing Alfred a meeting was much more important than a space museum was pointless.
"Sure." He replied as he got off Kiku's lap to let him walk to the kitchen. He returned with a bottle of sake and two glasses. After pouring Alfred a glass, he poured himself one too. They both said a toast before drinking their own glasses.
Alfred had seemed a little fidgety after drinking some sake. Though sake was hard for Alfred to get drunk on so Kiku knew it couldn't be it.
"...do you really think we'll be able to see each other in a month?" Alfred asked after a while.
Kiku sighed softly, knowing what he meant. Just because their bosses said a month, didn't guarantee a month. It could mean three months to a year and there was no exact answer, "...maybe...you'd never know."
"...well then I want to spend this last night being happy." Alfred seemed determined by the answer, glancing at Kiku and giving him his goofy smile.
Kiku smiled at him, "I can't argue with that then."
There were a few more drinks of sake and some American beer Alfred had brought over but they weren't drunk off of it at all. Alfred was gently kissing Kiku, their lips tasting of alcohol. It was passionate and sweet, sometimes pausing to catch their breaths.
"...Kiku?"
"Yes?"
Alfred's face was pink. He had been wanting to ask Kiku the question but wasn't sure how. And he knew they had to do it now or God knows when they'd have a chanceto do so. "I-I know it's foolish...but I don't know when we'll see each other...so...do you want to um...do it...?"
His face matched Alfred's shade of pink. He knew what he meant. He also knew Alfred would respect his decision if he didn't want to. Though he was so close with Alfred, he was almost surprised they hadn't done it before. He slowly nodded, his lips gently brushing against Alfred's. They always felt soft and warm whenever he kissed them, "...I want to, Alfred. Do you?"
He nodded, his face turning slightly pink, "Y-yes..."
It didn't take long for Kiku to gently take Alfred to his bedroom. Clothes were long since discarded before Kiku's back was gently pressed against the bed, his lips against Alfred's as his hands roamed around his body. They both had scars on their bodies, one had much more than the other. They hadn't spoken a word about the scars since they took off their clothes. The scars on both their bodies told the story; they shared the same fate at one point. And none of it mattered to them at the moment, because underneath the moonlight their skins were bathed in the blue moonlight. It made Alfred's blond hair seem a bit shinier and Kiku's brown eyes glisten a shade brighter.
His lips were kissing parts of his neck, causing Kiku to moan softly, "Do you still want to do it...?" Alfred asked softly.
"Y-yes." He replied almost shakily. He looked at Alfred through his messy bangs, "Do you?"
Alfred only nodded, "...I love you."
"I love you too, Alfred."
They had shared their love underneath the moonlight. Two flesh become one was an old saying and that was the best thing to describe what they did. In those moments, they were together and time had stopped it seemed.
When it was all over, they had arms wrapped around another trying to catch their breaths. There didn't even need to be words spoken on what they shared but Alfred smiled regardless as he kissed the top of Kiku's head. 'I love you's in their native tongues were spoken before they dozed off to sleep. In the morning, Alfred would wake up and Kiku would make breakfast. They'd share their meal and kiss before saying goodbye but that was in the morning. Tonight, they were only going off to sleep and hoping time would make their sleep much more longer.
Brief notes: Japan's bed is just a regular bed with a futon over it. Bedbugs are common in Japan so some people will just buy a bed and lay a futon over it so they can clean it.
I honestly feel like I could've done smut but I just wanted to get this chapter up and running. Hey, maybe I'll kill two birds with one stone and write a smut scene somewhere. :P Well, thanks for reading guys and have a nice day!
