There's a beauty in discovering someone for the first time and realizing just exactly who they are.
It ran more than skin deep; it ran emotionally too.
Somehow, it carried with it the wind of prior conversations and newer ones.
It brought forth a sparkle in the eye that could never escape from one's grasp.
Alfred loved Toris, and that was the simple and honest truth though it grew more complex as time flew by as he further fell for the other nation.
He had found a joy in Toris's beautiful green eyes and in every smile of Toris's and in his soft hair.
The American had found someone who he cherished laughing more than he had ever realized.
He'd discovered someone who set his heart free from the muted days that he'd been stuck with as one nation against the world.
Alfred had found someone who cherished all of those things about him and more.
Toris cared about Alfred and took his joy for his own.
The Lithuanian found the American to be just as beautiful as Alfred found him: emotionally, mentally, physically.
Lithuania had found love yet again though this time it felt much more like a permanent fixation.
There was something to be found in the joy of new discoveries day by day as Alfred always managed to find a way to surprise him and leave him breathless day by day.
Toris doubted that there could ever be a time that he'd stop learning something new about Alfred as he always managed to teach him something new about who he was day after day.
Alfred certainly understood that feeling too as everyday that he spent with Toris, he learned more about the Lithuanian and managed to find more qualities to love about him as well as to fall more in love with all of Toris again.
It was like falling in love again everyday, and they'd only just begun to know each other.
He wanted Toris to be the one to cuddle with him, to comfort him, to kiss, and to spend time with among other things.
America had finally discovered what love could be as he'd never known quite how far romantic love could take someone and how breathless it could make them feel.
He never wanted to leave this feeling or the other behind; he wanted to hold onto him forever.
Alfred refused to let Russia take him back, just to leave marks on Toris's gentle flesh again.
The American also refused to lose Lithuania's romantic attention to any other nation; he knew that he'd find some way to get by if Toris woke up one day in love with Poland or Belarus or someone else more.
America longed to always hold the Lithuanian close and spend everyday with him as hours ticked by away from their control.
Alfred loved Toris far more than he'd though a nation capable of and far more than whatever he figured was normal as why would anyone desire to leave such a loving, sweet, and pure feeling or relationship?
He smiled as he leaned down to kiss Toris's forehead as he saw the Lithuanian smile up at him at the action and relax further against the grass beneath them.
Alfred smiled back and that grin only grew when Toris leaned forward for the two of them to be lost in the locking of lips as mouths moved as if made to against each others'.
Toris pulled away from Alfred with a tender smile and an interlocking of their hands.
Alfred pulled the Lithuanian forward to cuddle together against the soft grass in the meadow that they'd chosen to relax at and spend the day at.
He smiled as the light flickered in from above and lit the two of them up in its warm glows and left them drowsy after the sweet affection and lazy day together.
It would finally lull them to sleep after just a few more moments.
