Well, this got updated rather quickly, I'm proud of myself! Everyone who comments on this chapter get's a cookie! I would love constructive criticism on this piece though, so if you see grammar errors or something that didn't do anything at all to enhance the writing and was just like filler tell me and I want to fix it ^^ Thanks guys!

And by the by, I still don't own Hetalia. I know, tis a shame.

"Madison, why do you always go back to the hamburger lover? He is always telling you he doesn't want to do it ever again yet you come on his whims." Ivan asked me that day after school. Alfred was staying after to help his father clean his room and do some other chores around the school. It's always more important to please daddy, but I suppose that while he is with his father I do get some time to stop 'worshiping' him and live a somewhat normal life with my friends before I get depressed that he still doesn't care for me.

I sighed and inspected around Ivan and I. We were out by the river on the outskirts of town. We had rode out bikes out to play in the stream but we both knew that once we got here we'd just end up talking because neither of us enjoyed swimming too much. Besides, swimming at the moment sounded like a terrible idea with the given weather. It wasn't snowing but it was dead cold.

"I don't go back on his whims, I go back for me. It just usually ends up that it's when he wants me too." I explained dipping a finger into the stream. Since it was fall, about a month after school started, the water was bone chilling. I liked it, but I was smart enough not to go in. Everyone knew that it got so cold around these parts at this time of year you'd probably freeze to death on your way home if you were this far out of the towns way.

"Ah, I see. Why him though?" Ivan asked, it was obvious he cared for my answer. Ivan was like a big brother. He watched out for me since his own little sister scared the shit out of him. I smiled and blushed pulling my finger out of the rolling stream. I was thinking on how to phrase this in a way Ivan would understand. I doubt he would since he never had before, but I'm always trying to show him how I feel for Alfred.

"It's something about his attitude and the way he walks with so much confidence and pride. He's never unsure of himself. He a leader and he's just... Alfred." I shrugged. Alfred wasn't as great as I made him seem, at least not to Ivan. I had an inflated view of him, I knew, but that was how I portray him. He was my big, huggable hero and even if he didn't want me as the heroine I could still play on the sidelines of his adventure for as long as I needed too because he wouldn't stop me.

"Hmm, is that what you think? Comrade, you have a weird way of taking an over-inflated ego and turning it into a good thing." Ivan hummed, but I could tell a shift in his mood just as the wind shifted blowing leaves our way. He wasn't pleased with how I viewed my part-time lover. I didn't mind though, I knew Ivan cared for me and he'd respect my views and those I care for no matter what.

"Yeah..." I agreed with him nevertheless and shivered. The wind was making me cold-I was used to cold, but I hated it. It made me feel brittle as the icy wind picked at my skin and seeped into me freezing from the outside in. Ivan looked calm in the cold-he said he hated it like me though. With his childish face presuming position whenever speaking of winter I never doubted his hatred. Ivan looked like a child when he talked about hate, a child who didn't know right from wrong. It was scary if you thought about it, if his hatred was childish, he could do anything he wanted about it...

"You look cold Madison. Come-I will treat you to dinner at the café if you'd like." Ivan suggested and broke my trait of thought. There was a nice little cafe that was nestled downtown. It was a little pricey, and even a little fancy but Ivan just loved to treat me to meals there after school. I'm assuming that's where he was going to take me, it was our normal routine when we hung out around each other.

I thought about it and checked my watch. It was about five-no one would be there this early. That was a big concern because neither of us wanted anyone from school seeing us eating together there since it was known as a common date place. I was hungry too... "Sure," I decided. "Let's go." And with that we rode back into town.

(O0*o-_-o*0O)

"And I will have the chicken soup with that, Да?" Ivan smiled his creepy childish smile to our waiter before the poor man scurried back to the kitchen to deliver our food requests. It made me want to laugh, I always thought that it was funny that sweet Ivan could scare people. I had never seen him do anything quite as scary as people say he does. Though the stories are so outlandish sometimes, it makes you wonder if they might be true. Like what he supposedly did to that little sheep of a boy Raivis with the fluffy hair and the constant shakes... Or Toris, he apparently broke his nose but he told me that he just ran into the molding on his door. People are so full of it sometimes.

"Comrade? You look happy, did something happen?" He asked me with a less forced smile and I smiled back.

"You're just funny Ivan, you make me smile." I told him truthfully and stirred the ice cubes in my cup giggling as Ivan's cheeks stained a light pink. That was cute...

"Madison, may I tell you something personal? It's very important that you hear this because I think it will change your views on... Many things." He smiled and this time it was back to the creepy. I felt like I really didn't want to know about this personal thing of his, but if it would 'change my views' maybe I should know.

I opened my mouth to answer him when the door opened. I glanced over and there is Mr. Kirkland and Alfred of all people. I smile and wave and as if I had invited him, Alfred speeds over and sits in the booth with me and hugs me hard.

"Madi! I missed you, it feels like it's been so long. Tell me I haven't lost you heart to Ivan-that'd kill me-I swear I'd give my life if I lost your heart to him!" If I had been anyone else, I'd think Alfred sounded a little serious about that last part. But, I was his Madi, the easy slut that Alfred loved to tap, break, fix and repeat. He wasn't being serious, he was joking and toying with my heart. It's like I'm his favorite toy.

"Alfred, you saw me only over an hour ago and-"

"Yes, you did lose her heart Alfred." Ivan cut me off and took my hand across the table holding it like we were a couple. "I just asked our comrade out to this date and she said 'yes'." The two glared between themselves as Mr. Kirkland started his way over. I took my hand back giggling and covered my mouth before laughing harder.

"You guys are so funny! Did you plan that just to get a laugh out of me? Come on, let's be serious here. Al why are you here?" I ask but the boys were still glaring. I rolled my eyes. They took these little jokes so far sometimes, it was ridiculous. They 'reluctantly'(They should be comedians if they were going to commit to this bit) broke their glares and Alfred smiled at me and giggled.

"Well, I knew you come here a lot so I asked pops if we could eat here. I was hoping to see you!" He grabbed me into a hug again only to have Ivan grab that hand again and give him a childish look. Gosh, this was just getting awkward now...

"Alfred F. Jones! You get off of her right this instant this is a public place!" Mr. Kirkland hissed as he caught up to Al and glared at him. "Young man you know better than to just run around in a restaurant-you could have crashed right into a waitor and who do you think would have had to pay for it all?" Mr. Kirkland scolded Al and Alfred shrunk away from him. I've only seen Alfred look afraid like that when his father talked to him, I guess it was because he's afraid to make his father disappointed. That's the best guess I could think of anyways.

"Sorry dad, I just wanted to give Maddie a hug and-"

"And are you interrupting her during a date? That is beyond rude! I demand that you apologize to Madison immediately!" He said in the same rough tone that I've come to know and dispise about Mr. Kirkland. He always sounds mad when he speaks to Al and it makes me want to hit him. No one should talk to my precious Alfred like that, not while I'm around.

"Oh no, this isn't a date." "Да , this is a date, but we don't mind." "There's no way Maddie would date a commie!" The three responses were rapid fire to Mr. Kirkland's accusation and I rolled my eyes at Ivan. Still playing that game, eh? It was funny but now Alfred was getting in trouble and that so wasn't cool for him to do to my friend-lover-thing.

Mr. Kirkland looked confused before I snatched my hand back from Ivan and shoved Alfred off of my being. "Ivan stop with the jokes and Al stop being racist." I scolded the two teenage boys and they looked much more disappointed with themselves than they ever did when scolded by an adult. I guess it just came with the charm. "Mr. Kirkland I'm just having dinner with Ivan, it's not a date and Alfred wasn't intruding at all. Please don't be too hard on him." I asked batting my eyes a little. I'd do anything to keep him out of trouble, even suck up to my most hated person if it meant to save my Alfred.

"Very well," He grabbed Alfred by his collar and dragged him out of the booth. "You're much to soft with the boy though, you should really try to beat him into shape." He playfully whacked Al on the head, who looked rather peeved he was being torn away, and dragged him back to the front of the restaurant so they could be seated. After a quiet discussion with Ivan on how this was not a date(He's so funny sometimes!), the rest of the dinner went as plan and after eating my bug Russian friend took me home.

On my way out of the restaurant though I looked over to Al's table and it looked like Alfred was still being scolded and he looked terrified. I wondered what was wrong and then decided it was a discussion for tomorrow.
