Arthur was in a pinch, to say the least. He was late to the world conference meeting and was suffering from a bloody hangover thanks to a certain frog challenging him to a drinking contest, which he had won might I add.

And all thanks to that bloody frog he had forgotten to set his alarm clock. Luckily, he only woke up an hour late, leaving him with ten minutes to change, brush his teeth, comb his hair, eat something, and run up to the conference room. Sadly, there was no time to take a shower.

After rushing to get ready Arthur left the room precisely one minute before the meeting was supposed to start. It would be impossible to get to the 24th floor in one minute considering he was on the 10th floor.

Instead, Arthur took his time in getting there knowing he was going to be late no matter what. As Arthur made it to the conference room he happened to notice it was oddly quiet. Normally you could hear the arguing nations throughout the entire hotel.

Arthur turned the door knob slowly. As he opened the door all the way he noticed the room was empty. He took a step inside and noticed there was only one nation in the room who had been writing on some documents until a certain Englishman had walked in.

Now blue eyes met green as Arthur stared at the worn out looking nation. It was Ludwig, the personification of Germany.

"H-Hello there chap! Sorry I'm late but… where is everyone?" Ludwig let out a sigh and stood up, putting all of his documents neatly in his folder before walking over towards Arthur.

Ludwig stopped in front of Arthur and folded his arms. "Ja.. well… all of the nations decided to get drunk and party last night so the meeting has been canceled." Arthur moaned. "Bloody wankers…" Ludwig chuckled.

"I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so…. But if I remember correctly weren't you at that party as well? And drinking quite a lot I might add." Arthur glanced at the wall, then at Ludwig, and back to the wall. "Well… you were there too…"

Ludwig smiled genuinely at the Englishman. "Ja…. don't get me wrong though Arthur… I admire the way you have the motivation to come to the meeting even with a hangover."

Arthur smirked and crossed his arms. "Well of course! I'm the bloody United Kingdom! It's to be expected!" Ludwig chuckled at the ranting Englishman and sighed. "Ja… well… see you tomorrow... same time."

"Good bye." Arthur waved until the German was out of sight. When he was gone Arthur clutched his head and sat down. Bloody hangover.

That evening Arthur was invited to eat dinner with Alfred and Kiku. They had something important to discuss with him.

"Well… what is it?" Arthur glared at Alfred who had been trying to avoid the subject while Kiku sat there nervously. They were at a German restaurant; after all they were in Berlin, Germany.

"You see…. well….. dude… ALRIGHT! Me and Kiku have had a secret relationship for the last few months and we are like totally getting married and we wanted you to be the first one to know!" Arthur stared dumbfounded. Well…. He certainly hadn't expected that.

"Oh….." Arthur's reaction made both Alfred and Kiku a little nervous. He wasn't going to attack them was he?

"Congratulations" Arthur stared in between the two of them, careful not to make eye contact. He felt like he was on the verge of tears. The smallest thing could make him crack.

"Well… if that's all… I think I'll take my leave now." Arthur stood up to leave when Alfred grabbed his sleeve. "Hey! The hero wasn't done speaking yet! We want you to be the bride's maid!" Arthur's expression went blank. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before Kiku spoke up.

"What Alfred means is the best man… but we would like your help in the planning for the wedding." Kiku blushed and stared at the floor. He knew Arthur wasn't happy but it was too late now.

"Ah…. W-why of course! You can count on me! Now… I really must be leaving. I'm late for… a meeting I had arranged with…. Germany…." Alfred laughed. "Hahaha! Don't worry! The hero will make sure you get there on time! I'll even escort you to his door!"

Arthur mentally face palmed. Alfred was such a git. "No… that isn't necessary… really." The American and the Englishman went back in forth until Arthur finally gave up. He just hoped Ludwig would play along.

Alfred insisted on ringing Ludwig's door bell at least a hundred times before giving Ludwig the chance to get to the door. "America?" Ludwig looked puzzled as he stared at the American, then noticed Arthur and Kiku who were behind him, both looking away.

"Yo dude! I came to drop off Arthur!" Before Ludwig could let out any words, Arthur pushed him inside. "Well thanks Al! Congrats again! Bye!" Arthur closed the door and sighed. He could have sworn he heard a "No problem dude! I AM a hero after all!" but decided to ignore it.

"Uhh…. Arthur?" Arthur felt his heart skip a beat. He had almost forgotten about the German who's house he had just barged into.

"Umm... haha…. Well you see…. Sorry about this Ludwig…. It's just… I needed to get away from them and you were the first thing that popped into my head….." Ludwig glanced at the floor, a slight blush on his face.

"The first huh…." Arthur patted Ludwig on the arm a little too roughly. "Well! Thanks! You were a big help in letting me get away from those gits…. Haha…. Did you know they are getting married..? And I'm helping them…. " Tears started to form in the brits eyes.

Ludwig brought him over to his couch and both of them sat down. "You don't like those two getting married?" Arthur had tears streaming down his face. Ludwig put his hand on Arthur's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

"A-Alfred!" Ludwig wasn't sure what to do. He had never felt heart break before so he wasn't sure how to comfort the brit. Ludwig decided the best thing he could do was to hold the Englishman in his arms until he stopped crying.

Ludwig swung his arms around Arthur and held him close. At first Arthur stopped crying and looked up at the blushing German in shock, but then he gave in and started crying into Ludwig's chest.

Ludwig tried his best to comfort the poor man. All he could do was rub Arthurs back and hold him close. He felt powerless as the Englishman continued to sob into his chest.
