England limped into his study and sat In his chair with a sigh. He reached out for his cup of tea, and picked it up with a shaky hand. He put it back down and slumped over putting his head in his hands. How could he of gotten injured so easily? He wondered angry at himself. A soft nock was heard on the door. "Iggy…?" A soft voice was heard from the other side of the door before the other county opened the door.

The young country stood in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. "What are you doing in here Arthur. You shouldn't move until your better." America said calling the older country by his human name.

England looked up at America. "Alfred… you should stop visiting me…" He said.

America put the roses on the desk and knelt in front of England and wiped tears from the older country's eyes. "Does it hurt?" He asked cupping his hand around England's cheek.

England nodded giving in. "I think I need to change my bandages…" He mumbled about to stand.

"You haven't even gotten fully dressed…" America said looking at the older country who was surprisingly only in dress pants and thin white dress shirt.

Arthur stood and so did Alfred. "Iggy…" Alfred said seeing Arthur flinch in pain. "Do you need help..?"

Alfred looked back at him. "You git, how many times have I told you, you cant call me that anymore. Your not a child…" The older county fell to his knee gripping his side.

"Iggy!" America ran to England's side.

"I'm fine." England said trying to get back up.

America helped him stand and walk into the next room. "Arthur… you need to be more careful…" He helped the older country to his bed.

"Alfred… could you get me a new shirt…?" Arthur asked taking off his shirt.

Arthur looked at the newly blood soaked bandages around the older country's chest. "Ill get you another after I clean up the wound on your chest… How's your leg?" Alfred asked walking to Arthur.

"Its better. I surprised its not broken though… My bandages are on the table over there…" Arthur was giving in so easily to everything Alfred said.

"Arthur, why are you letting me treat you…?" Alfred asked when he started to wrap Arthur's chest.

"Because… I will admit I do need your help sometimes, and its not like I could stop you anyway…" Arthur looked at Alfred. "And… c… could you come here for a second…."

Alfred obeyed slightly confused his face right in front of the other country's. "Ye…" He was cut off by Arthur's lips.

"I hope you know I love you as well. And I wouldn't stop you from helping me."

"Uh…" Alfred's lips curled up at the side. "Okay…" He said steeling another kiss from the other country. "And for future reference, Iggy, I'm never too old to call you your pet name."

"Bloody git…" They shared another kiss, and Alfred went back to wraping his poor wounded lover's chest.
