A/N

Wrote this for my friend Midnight Run inthe Rain! You should check out her profile, she's got some really good UsUks on there! ;D

It's also based on two pictures from the internet, but I haven't actually been able to find it or else I'd let you see 'em… I'll keep looking though...

Enjoy~ :)

He was wearing his usual brown jacket and a white shirt with the top few buttons undone. His golden blonde hair looked as if it was swaying in the wind. His right eye shone out a bright blue from the shadow cast by his hair as the left one was completely hidden. He wasn't wearing his glasses this time but this only made him that much more... sexier. He was Alfred fucking Jones - and the bane of Arthur's existence.

Arthur looked at the poster he just put up on the wall of his flat and hummed in contempt. He had hurried home after buying the newest Hetalia Monthly to put up the 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 ft poster up in the space he had been saving on his wall for this occasion. This issue specifically had an interview with the famous actor - Alfred Jones. Arthur absolutely admired his work of course - that was it. It had nothing to do with the fact that he dripped with good looks or how he sounded when he laughed. And Arthur most certainly did not have a crush on him...

Okay... Maybe he did, just a little. Of course, Arthur knew that a crush like that is impossible. Maybe it was due to the fact that Alfred was a world-class actor whereas Arthur was just a former model. Maybe it was due to the fact that they are both males. Or maybe it was due to the fact that they both never actually met.

Arthur picked up the magazine he had set down on his bed and through it. He stopped when he got to Alfred's interview and began reading it. He could almost hear Alfred's excited chatter or his loud, contagious laugh as he made a joke with the interviewer. Arthur even chuckled along with him. After reading through it twice he put the magazine on a small a bookshelf next to the others. He didn't own every single Hetalia Monthly magazine but he did own the ones with Alfred on the cover or the ones, like this one, that had an interview. Hetalia is not only the agency that makes the magazine but also is the one that Alfred works for. The company is owned by Marcus Vargas and Legolas Beilschimdt. The agency has created many stars in the past including Yao Wang, Gilbert Beilschmidt, and of course Alfred F. Jones.

Arthur's phone buzzed, snapping him out of his thoughts. It was from Elizaveta, his manager. Although she can become a little too involved in Arthur's own personal affairs, she does have a vicious side and can get anything she wants. This is good for Arthur as he is still just starting out in the acting business.

[Elizaveta] hey Artie! Ur fav manager just got u another job offer!

Arthur smiled at Elizaveta's enthusiasm and quickly texted her back. After, he left his Alfred-infested bedroom and entered the normal-looking part of his flat (meaning: no pictures of Alfred). He made his way to the kitchen and fixed him a calming cup of tea.

At about 8:30, Arthur left his flat to meet up with Elizaveta before continuing on to the location for the filming. He had just finished playing the friend to the antagonist of a tragedy/romance film called 51 Requests. It was one of his first major roles since starting the acting business three years ago. Yes, it had been hard particularly since the name Arthur Kirkland is not a well-known name in America especially in the acting business. But Arthur remained patient (and it also helped that he was fairly well off considering his last job paired really well). Now he had three job offers (including the one Eliza just texted him about) and was already a filler for two others. He even starred in a commercial for a some sort of new version of a phone last year, which was ironic really because Arthur was probably one of the least electronically-savvy people out there.

Arthur entered "Forget-Me-Not Teashop" and found Elizaveta already sitting at one of the small tables near the windows. The Teashop was located in a secluded part of the city and was hardly ever busy. It served wonderful tea and other little snacks but the name was hell of a mouth full.

"About time Arthur!" huffed Eliza as he neared the table, but he saw the slight smile at the corners of her mouth and knew she was only teasing.

"Sorry about that Eliza, but I had some last minutes things I needed to take care."

"Oh, so you were with your obsession again?"

"W-what?" Arthur flushed red.

"Nevermind." she said with a knowing smile. Arthur coughed into his hand.

"Anyways, new offers you said?"

"Yep!" Elizaveta reached into her messenger bag and pulled a stack of papers. She slid the stack to Arthur.

"These are the two that I found over the weekend, but this one-" Arthur looked up from the stack to find Elizaveta holding another packet. "Is my favorite offer." She gave the packet to Arthur.

"Destination: Lost?" Arthur asked, eyebrow raised.

"Yeah. You were specifically requested to come to the tryouts after the director saw your act in 51 Requests. You would be trying out for the main antagonist." Arthur nodded. Makes sense, after all that is the only role he has played in the past. "They are still working on some fine details, but they wanted to get the casting done early. The audition for your part is next Thursday." Arthur leafed through the packet a bit more.

"Alright, sounds good. Wait, this is..."

"Director Yao Wang."

"Bloody hell."

The rest of the day went by as usual. He went to the one of the filler jobs as usual, while his agent set up the final details for next Thursday's audition. Arthur was ecstatic (not that he would show it on the outside of course) that he was asked by Yao Wang to audition. Yao Wang! One of the most well-known directors in Hollywood! It was amazing. Of course, Arthur had to focus on what he was doing and quickly shooed the rest of the thoughts out of his head.

The week went by fast enough, and in no time Thursday came and went. It was only Monday but it could take as much as two weeks before someone is picked for the part. Arthur was very anxious, the part had sounded very appealing to him. In the meantime though Arthur also auditioned for the other two offers Elizaveta had found for him and still continued with the two fillers. The other two offers were only for supporting cast, not that there was anything wrong with that of course. It was now late in the evening and Arthur should be getting ready for bed. Instead Arthur was watching one of his (many) DVDs of the popular drama Hero. He watching one of his favorite episodes where Alf- er, the protagonist was teaching his friend how to dance. Arthur liked this episode because of how care-free and happy he looked in the episode, and the way he smiled. He often found himself wondering if that was his real smile and how he would look in person with it, maybe while talking with Arthur sometime. Arthur shook his head and instead focused on his movements and the way he spoke. It all looked so... natural. It was as if he wasn't acting anymore but as if he actually was David - the protagonist of the series. The point of view then changed to the female protagonist and would remain on her for the rest of the episode. That's when Arthur reached over for the remote and stopped the DVD. It wasn't as if the woman wasn't good at her part, it was just that Arthur has already seen the episode all the way through once before and knew what happened in the episode.

The next day – Tuesday – and still no word. Well actually, he was told that they declined him for one of the supporting roles, but that wasn't the one he was waiting for. By 4, Arthur was already done for the day. He emerged from the dressing room and looked around. Odd... Usually Elizaveta's already waiting for me. He shrugged and made his way to a bench and pulled out his phone. No messages or calls or anything. A few more moments passed before, "Arthur!"

"Elizaveta?" He watched as his manager practically ran up to him.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He was worried, Elizaveta looked as if she was going to pass out.

"Yes! It's wonderful!"

"What's wo-"

"You got the part!"

"What?"

"You got the role for Destination: Lost!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Arthur couldn't believe it! He got the role that he was wanting! He's going to be playing the main antagonist for one of Yao Wang's films!

"And you'll be costarring with Alfred Jones!" And he'll be costarring with Alfr- wait, what?

"What?" he repeated out loud. His mind just came to a screeching halt but the look on Elizaveta's face was clear.

"Fucking hell."
