This oneshot is related to my finished story "Why did you?". You might want to read it first. Or maybe not...
I'd appreciate reviews and suggestions to new oneshots. I'd really like to improve ^^
Ah! Before I forget... This is a USUK oneshot :)

'You're a hero. Heroes save people and Arthur needs to be saved'
England had looked quite sad since the call incident. He had tried to act as if nothing had happened but he couldn't fool America. The country of Freedom was trying to cheer England up but France had told him some news that made everything more and more difficult.
"See, America? Antonio and Romano are dating, just like I told you. Good luck with Arthur. Ohonhonhonhon~"
America has understood that the last part meant that helping Arthur was his task. And that's what he was planning to do. Not only because France told him to do so, but because he couldn't stand seeing Arthur so heartbroken. Alfred guessed that was due to the fact that the Brit was very important to him.
'France said that Arthur is in love with someone. I wonder… with whom?'
He had gone to England's house. America knocked on the door just to discover that it was opened.
'He never forgot to close any door when I lived with him, let alone the front door'
America announced his presence in the house, but nobody answered. He looked for England worried sick all around the house and he finally found him in his library – it seemed that he had fall asleep while reading a book.
'Great, at least he's not drunk.'
He approached the Brit and said gently:
"Arthur, wake up. This is not a good place to fall asleep in"
England opened his eyes slowly. He blushed when he saw America so close to him.
"I wasn't sleeping. Just thinking" He said hoping that America would believe the lie.
"Liar" Obviously he didn't.
England stood up and his eyes and America's met. England's were red.
"You cried" Alfred stated quietly. "Spain made you cry"
"No. It wasn't Spain."
"Then, who was? Flying mint bunny?" The younger nation joked.
"You wouldn't understand, Al."
"Tell me, Arthur. What happened?" America was serious.
"Let's go to my living room. The couch is more comfortable than just standing"
They went to England's living room in silence and they sat in the couch.
"I was just thinking about the future, Al" England broke the silence.
"The future? What's wrong with that?" America asked. He didn't understand why that would make England feel so depressed.
"I'll be alone" England whispered looking down, as if the carpet was the most interesting thing in the world.
"You won't! The hero will save you from loneliness!" America smiled.
But his smile faded as a tear fell to the carpet.
'Why is he crying? I just said that I'll be with him!'
"No, Al. I know that you'll always be my friend." England whispered. The next thing was said so quietly that America almost did not heard it "That's the problem"
"Do you… do you…?" that left Alfred speechless.
'Why do I feel this way? It's almost as if I…'
"Arthur I…" Alfred began to say before Arthur cut him.
"Alfred, I need to be alone"
"Arthur…" he tried again.
"Alfred, please" he nearly begged the American looking him in the eye.
"I love you" Alfred said and kissed him, surprising the older country.
The kiss ended and Arthur said "I love you too" even if it seemed almost unnecessary.
When Alfred woke up the next morning, he had a text message in his inbox
"Love shall prevail. Ohonhonhonhon~"
