The line between nations could seem endless, impassable, though sometimes it felt like merely a suggestion.

It had led to moments of sheer secrecy and absolute love.

One found found the other impossible to erase from his life not like he wanted to anyway though.

Matthew and Alfred were two halves of a whole, connected by endless love.

Fingers held on to another hand with no desire to ever part.

They were halves of whole despite being two different nations.

They were just what each other needed and brilliantly in love.

Matthew was the gentle, sort of logical one while Alfred was increasingly spontaneous and outgoing.

Matthew could be shy though Alfred always could bring out his true self whether in anger or joy or anything else.

Mattie could get his boyfriend to think a tad more before he'd make decisions.

Alfred embraced the spontaneous moments that Mattie did have a decent amount of times.

They were each other's other halves and their true loves.
