Author's Note:

short story yay! It's meh FIRST hetalia fanfic, so this is exciting. umm well nothing else to say so .. enjoy!


I was walking out of the long hallway to leave the college building when someone called my name. "Arthur!" I heard Roderich calling down the hallway. I turned around to see my frantic colleague looking rather short of breath. "Yes?" I asked. "I know how you've been really working hard to become a band manager. So I thought you could be the manager for my new band!" he said excitedly. "Really, Roderich?" I asked. Being a band manager had been my life-long dream, but mother always discouraged me form it, though. I didn't know Roderich too well, but I was eager for a new, exciting job."I'll think about it, okay?" I said, not wanting to deny the glorious offer. "Okay, see you tomorrow, Arthur!" he said to me.

I walked to the dorm room I was sharing with my annoying cousin, Alfred. "Hello, Arthur!" he greeted me. "Hello, Alfred." I said with a sigh. "How was your day today?" he said enthusiastically, like every other sentence the uttered. "Great." I replied. I sat down at the small desk we managed to buy with the little money we had. I thought about the offer Roderich had told me about earlier that day. If I said yes, I would be able to travel the world, considering the fact that they would actually get a record deal. I would be able to live out my dream, too. However, I didn't talk to Roderich that much, so I didn't know how we would get along.

I also considered what I would be leaving behind. I was leaving a medical degree and my family. Although Alfred wasn't my favorite person, he was my cousin. I would also leave my brothers Allistor and Cailean along with my sister, Alyssa. I was not very fond of my siblings, either. Still, they were family, and deep down in my heart I loved them. I would miss the bickering between us and the occasional frustration when Allistor would when while playing Risk. I remember when we would fight over who got Scotland and who got England. My family held a special place in my heart, and I didn't know if I was ready to let go of that.

I

reached the conclusion that I would stay, finish my doctor's degree, and live life as a successful doctor. After all, I just wanted to be successful at what I did. I didn't exactly know Roderich, like I said before, and I had way more memories with my family. I would have to break the news to Roderich. I got up to leave, when Alfred's voice broke my train of thought. Throughout all my thinking, I didn't realize that he had been repeatedly calling me to play some game. "Arthur! Come play Risk with me!". Right then, I knew I had made a good decision.


So, it's been ten years since I made the great decision, and I'm very pleased with it. I was a successful doctor, like I wished, Roderich had taken off with his band, The Coffee-Makers, and I still got to see my family. I liked being a doctor, it was exciting and knowing I am helping people everyday was a great self-esteem booster. Every weekend The lot of us get together to play Risk, which is extremely fun. I will always remember the day I made the decision at the fork in the road in my life.


EL FIN!

hope you liked it!
