Hello, reader! Welcome to my story. As you probably guessed due to the title, this is the Princess Bride, Hetalia-style. Now, I'm going by the movie, so please don't nag me about things that were in the book but not the movie. Also, I have modified the story slightly to fit our beloved characters more, so just bear with me. Ok, enough of me rambling. Without further adue, The Prince's Bride Chapter 1! Enjoy!
He missed his farm boy. It had been 2 years since Alfred had left, and Arthur missed his farm boy. He longed to see that bright blond hair and hopeful look in those never-ending blue eyes. Arthur wondered how he had somehow managed to lose him.
He remembered when he took it all for granted. He'd give the boy such chores to do, ones he could probably do himself, and the bloody git just answered with, "As you wish." Arthur knew his farm boy wasn't always this quiet, though. He remembered walking into the local pub and seeing Alfred, talking and laughing loudly with his friends. Friends that he didn't have. He approached the table and nodded at its inhabitants. "Evening, lads." He tried to be nice even though he knew they probably weren't fans of him. He turned to the blond who stood out to him from all the rest. "Farm Boy, Uncle needs you to fix the barn door." Alfred smiled softly and nodded. He then put on a wider but not as genuine smile to his friends and waved goodbye. Arthur almost felt bad about taking the other away from his social life, but he liked it when it was just him and Farm Boy much better.
"As you wish." Arthur still remembered how those words sounded on his beautiful farm boy's lips. He hadn't realized what was meant by those three simple words until it was too late. Arthur knew he had feelings for the exuberant boy a few weeks after meeting him. After this revelation, he used every excuse he could to be near his uncle's employee. After a few conversations, he learned how there was another boy who looked exactly like his, but wasn't. He was apparently less confident and more polite. He learned Alfred's love for dogs and summer nights. They spent nights lying out under the Florin stars, talking about far-off places. Soon Arthur realized his feelings were returned, and those three words he always heard were in place of ones the other couldn't say out loud. But then it was too late. One day Alfred received a letter saying his brother, Matthew, had gone missing. Much too soon, it was time for his farm boy to leave, and Arthur prayed it wouldn't happen."You know I have to go, Artie." It was a nickname he had somehow gotten used to. "Matthew's the only family I have left." He stared at the face he'd learned to memorize for so long. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of internal conflict, Arthur gave up. He crashed his face into the other's chest and held on for dear life. Though surprised, Alfred wrapped his arms warmly around his friend. "I know," Arthur whispered. He gulped, his voice betraying him. "Just- just come back. Make sure to come back to me, Farm Boy." He felt his companion smile sadly. "I will, Artie. Don't you worry." The embrace ended and Arthur whispered three words he could never say as he watched that beautiful blond hair disappear from his view. "I love you." That was the last he saw of his dear farm boy.
There we go! Chapter 1! Did you like it? I hope so. Just to let you know, this is a mainly USUK story. There will be hints of other pairings though, especially one in particular ;)
So please comment and let me know what you thought of it! If you have any suggestions, please tell me and I will try my best to put it in the story. I can do most anything except characters. Those are kind of already set. Anyway, see you next time!
