Pouring rain. That's how it always appeared to be these days... Every time Arthur glanced out the window, it was as if more would just come down. A seemingly constant reminder to the feeling that was pervading his heart now. The one that caused him to skip several nights of sleep and the one that helped his mind to become vulnerable to so many thoughts he'd rather live without. All because of the times and those stupid things his leaders had told him...

"You realize, England, that the tension between the countries does not exclude us." Of course he realized that, he wasn't blind. He knew relationships were being strained... Some of the closest ones even..

"This could bring about a new change for us, a new start once it is won." War... war could bring about change? A high death toll could start us over? Is this really how the people he trusted with power thought?

Arthur stood up from his kitchen table, where he had been staring at the supposed plans his leaders came up with. All they were to him were death sentences though, each one. Not to just his own people, but also the other soldiers that would be faced with this.

He crossed his way to a window and leaned against the cold glass and laid the back of his left hand against it.

This approaching war... it was nonsense. No matter what they said, it didn't have a..purpose.. nothing other than power. Just like the old battles and wars.

And yet...

He couldn't get the idea of it out of his head completely. The words, suggestions sowed into his mind, would not give him a moment of peace. The temptation they left him with as they all parted ways at that meeting weighed him down heavily. They probably didn't even understand the impact they left on Arthur's heart. Those two main points they said by the end, causing a collision inside of himself...Those two real hooks they tossed against them, pulling him into a state of actual consideration. It was disgusting..

To make him think he could regain his empire... they thought this whole war could really be the pivotal point in time didn't they? If he were able to do that... It was a horrible idea, somewhere he recognized it. A part of him shrunk away in distaste at the very thought of it but... another part of him saw such magnificent light in that idea. The power, the control all within his grasp again. It was like the most delicious sin rolling on his tongue.

And then they had to just add in the detail that made his entire being shiver, for a reason he didn't know. Oh of course they had to toss this his way, it's as if they didn't understand the force of their words.

If..

If he were to regain America as his younger brother again after this war, he could protect him. Making sure the young man wouldn't be in harm's way ever again.. This time with understanding on Alfred's part..Oh god how it tortured him.

Arthur hung his head in his hands.

What was going to become of himself?

Mask: Mkay. So.. ya. Britain's chapter. He's got a lot of demons after him huh? Poor Artie, I feel bad for him. Anyway, it's going to be like this for a couple more chapters... let's see how it goes. See ya guys later!
