Pairings:UkUs(yes Arthur gets to top) and RusAme
Alfred forced a grinned as he saw Ivan at the small restaurant, the very same one they met at. Ivan also smiled when he saw the other and went over to pull him into an embrace. The American tensed at first before relaxing into the hug. Ivan smiled as he led the other into a small table in the corner for privacy.
Alfred gave an internal sigh, he really liked Arthur and wanted to pursue a relationship with the other but he would be lying if he said braking up with the Russian would be easy.
Ivan saw the troubled look on his lover and gave a small frown, "lapushka what is wrong, did you wish not to return to where we first met?"
He snapped out of his thoughts before giving the other his usual grin.
"It's nothing dude I love this place, I was just thinking," he said with a reassuring smile.
Ivan gave a small playful smirk. "Are you sure that is a good idea?" he teased.
Alfred gave a small laugh. "Shut up commie," he retorted back, keeping his tone a playful one.
The two smiled at one another, both seemingly caught in a trance until their waitress came by, handing them their foods. Alfred quickly looked away, embarrassed while the Russian merely smiled. The dinner was a success. It was one of the most relaxed and romantic dates they had in a while, this only made Alfred's choice harder.
"Hey Ivan, can we talk about something serious?" Alfred asked, obviously uncomfortable.
"Da, I wish to say something serious first though," he responded, not noticing Alfred's odd behavior.
Alfred nodded, thankful for the extra time.
"Close your eyes and hold out your hands Fredka," Ivan said with a surprisingly gentle tone.
The American gave a confused look but nodded, doing as he was told. Ivan smiled as he took out a diamond ring carefully he put it around Alfred's finger. Alfred froze when he felt the object. Slowly he opened his eyes to indeed see a diamond ring on his left ring finger and Ivan smiling at him.
"Will you marry me Alfred? I know we both have had no real relationships until each other and I do not ever wish to leave you," Ivan said smiling at the other, expecting a positive answer.
Alfred froze, as he looked at the ring. He was in shock and not in the positive way like most people were when they were proposed to. What once would have filled him with great joy instead curdled his blood with dread.
Ivan looked at the other in confusion. He had not said anything the whole time and seemed to be in shock. "Fredka are you ok? I am still waiting for the 'I do,' he said with a sweet smile.
Alfred simply shook his head to snap out of his daze before looking at the other, "I…need time to think this over. I mean it's such a huge decision and all."
The Russian man frowned, obviously unhappy. He sighed before closing his hand around the other's left hand. "Fine I will give you time to think it over, but I wish for an answer by the end of the week," he said with a smile before getting up and holding his hand out to the other. Alfred gave a weak smile as he took his hand.
Ivan smiled as he pulled the other into a small kiss before pulling away, "I have one of my drivers waiting out back. I will see you soon lapushka."
Alfred gave a small nod as he walked out to indeed see a car that would take him back. He sighed as he looked out the window of the expensive car as he was driven back out. His left hand feeling a lot heavier than it did at the beginning of this evening.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
Arthur smiled as he walked into work the next morning. He couldn't wait to see his American again. And after last night he knew he had found a keeper. If only he would hurry and break it off with the Russian. As he sat down he heard his cellphone ring. Taking it out he saw it was Francis, and then he noticed the other was not here. Otherwise he would have already come to bother him this morning.
Cautiously he picked up to hear Francis's laugh. He let out a small breath in relief when he heard his laugh. Because that would mean he was safe.
"You bloody frog where are you?"
"Ohonhonhon do you already miss me? How sweet but I have called to tell you some…interesting news. I am at home today so please come and visits me after work. And make sure you are not being followed."
Arthur gave a small look of confusion, as he was about to ask what the hell the other was talking about he was hung up on. With a small sigh he decided to do as he was asked. Wondering just what the hell was going on.
Alfred groaned in frustration. He had invited his twin brother over for advice and so far all he was getting was crappy advice.
"Mattie, for the last time, 'Follow your heart' is not good advice!"
Matthew gave a small smile, "Al, you know that's the same advice you gave me."
Alfred gave a small pout before sighing. "Dude come on use your detective smarts and stuff to give me good advice," he said in a whiney tone.
Matthew sighed as he thought for a bit. "So you like guy B but you're still going out with guy A, who you were going to break up with but he suddenly proposed to you. Well if you were going to dump the other guy anyway then just dump him. It's mean but you don't like him anymore and you shouldn't marry a guy you don't truly love," he said finally.
Alfred thought for a bit then looked at the ring on his finger, "I mean I don't hate the dude but I just like the other dudes more."
Matthew gave a worried look when he saw Alfred's worried face. A smile truly did suit his brother better than anything else.
"So will I get to meet any of these guys or what Al? I mean I never even met guy A and he's already proposed I mean for all I know he could be some creepy guy that likes little kids in secret."
Alfred gave a smile at his brother's attempt to cheer him up.
"Don't worry he's not like that. And you'll love Arthur. He's guy B and he has this totally cute British accent," he said grinning.
Soon Matthew heard his phone ring, seeing who it was he sighed. "Hey Al, sorry I gotta take this," he said. Alfred just nodded in understanding.
Matthew went outside for privacy than picked up his phone.
"Yes Francis, what is it now?" he asked, trying to hide the irritation in his voice.
The Frenchman merely laughed before his voice got serious once more. "I have some information that should help with your case mon cher. There is this boy, Alfred Jones; I believe he is seeing Ivan. And if he is, my dear friend is in danger because Alfred is also seeing my friend now. I'm sure he plans on breaking up with Ivan but I am worried how the Russian might take that."
Matthew went silent for a moment. As much as he didn't want to believe it the evidence was just too strong. Alfred was going out with an unknown man who was rich and he wanted to break up with him for someone else. His military older brother was going out with a Mafioso? That just didn't make sense unless Ivan was lying about what he truly did for a living. He did have an alias of being a very powerful CEO.
Matthew gave a small glare. This was getting very dangerous. He went back inside to see Alfred laughing as he read one of his old comic books. The Canadian smiled at the site. This was the very reason he changed his last name. So the people that wanted him dead could never use Alfred as blackmail. He knew his older brother could take care of himself but that didn't mean he would do everything in his power to keep him safe.
"Al, don't break up with the other guy until the day he wants your answer," he said hoping the other wouldn't question him too deeply.
"Why dude?"
'Because I need more time,' he thought.
"Because I mean if things fall apart with guy B then at least you still have guy A. I mean you only just met guy B so like give him some time to see if you really like him," Matthew said. Hoping the other would buy the bullshit excuse.
"Oh that makes sense dude!"
Matthew thanked the gods once more of his brother's obliviousness.
"Well I have to go now Al. I'll call you ok?"
Alfred gave a small pout but grinned. "OK Mattie no worries, we'll get lunch or something tomorrow. Oh and in like two months, well probably one month depending on the urgency I'm going back to work."
"Oh well that's fine, we'll see each other don't worry."
Alfred gave a nervous laugh, "well about that I'm getting stationed in Mildenhall. That's in England by the way."
Matthew stared at his brother in shock. This would be the first time they would be separated so far. This would also be Alfred's first time out of the country. He was about to start worrying when he saw the look his brother was unconsciously making.
It was obvious Alfred was already worried and he knew his worrying wouldn't help. He smiled as he pulled his brother into a hug.
"Give me a week's notice on when you're leaving so we can throw a small party and, be safe and keep in contact with me eh?"
Alfred slowly smiled as he returned the hug, forgetting his strength as he lifted the other off the ground.
"Mattie I love you bro, you know that?"
Matthew gasped for air as he struggled against Alfred. He suddenly remembered why he didn't hug Alfred all that much now. Alfred saw Matthew paling and quickly let the other down, apologizing. The two looked at each other, smiling once more.
"I'll be going now, want to get lunch tomorrow?" Matthew asked.
Alfred gave his brother a thumbs up, "totally dude it'll be awesome!"
Arthur knocked on Francis's door and gasped when he saw the other. He looked as if he was beaten up, it was obvious it was nothing serious but it still looked painful.
"What in the bloody hell happened to you?!" Arthur yelled as he shut the door and began to look over the injuries. They were thankfully bandaged properly and seemed to also have been properly disinfected as well.
Francis smiled at Arthur's mother hen mode and when he saw the other was done examining him he cleared his throat. Arthur jumped in surprise and blushed; embarrassed that he was caught looking over his old friend as a mother would to her injured child.
"I am glad you are worried but mon cher, I have some very bad news."
Arthur raised an eyebrow but stayed silent, waiting for the other to continue. Francis saw this and took a seat, gesturing the other to sit on the other couch across from him. Arthur took the seat, curious over what the so called 'bad news' was.
With a small sigh Francis began to speak. "You know Ivan Braginki is the name of a very powerful CEO of the loan shark company?"
Arthur nodded before a look of realization passed his face. "My God! Alfred is going out with a loan shark, he could easily hire men to get rid of me!"
Francis gave a look of pity to the other. "If only it was that simple. But non mon cher it is not. I have been researching Ivan for a while now with a trustworthy detective friend of mine and I have the right to believe he is also the head of the Russian Mafia of this city. And if the information I gathered is correct he is madly in love with his new lover who apparently has no idea of his mafia duties, which I am guessing is Alfred, and is a very violent and jealous man."
Arthur paled at this news. That would mean Alfred was unknowingly going out with a Mafioso head. And that Mafia head loved Alfred who was supposed to break up with him last night. His mind immedently went to the worst possible scenarios. What if he got so angry he kidnapped Alfred and raped him? Then what if he forced Alfred to tell him why he was trying to leave him. Then poor Alfred would try to be a hero and say nothing until, "no Alfred you git just tell him!"
Francis looked at his friend in confusion. No doubt the other was having wild scenarios playing out in his head. Arthur cursed as he quickly pulled out his phone, calling the Alfred. Cursing when he didn't pick up and trying again. Francis gave a look of pity at the desperate English man. If Alfred wasn't picking up it might have been too late.
Alfred cursed as he got out of the shower, running to his annoying phone that seemed to keep ringing. When suddenly he slipped and fell. He managed to catch himself on his hands and knees but it still hurt like a bitch. Glaring at his still ringing phone he picked it up.
"What? I'm here what the fuck do you want dude?! I mean seriously like if I don't pick up the first time that means I'm busy!"
Arthur held the phone away from his ear because of the angry yelling but was never so happy to hear the other's voice.
"Alfred, its Arthur I apologize it's just I was worried."
"Arthur? Sorry dude for yelling at you but I was in the shower when my phone started going off like the world was ending and I kinda tripped and fell. But worried over what dude?"
Arthur gave a small smile at the Alfred sounding explanation, "Oh well the break up."
He heard a pause on the other end, getting slightly worried he called his name. Alfred then seemed to snap out of his trance and gave a small laugh.
"No worries dude, he took it just fine. It's all cool."
Arthur raised an eyebrow at this. That did not seem like an Ivan response.
"Are you sure poppet? He didn't seem angry or anything?"
Alfred gave an overdramatic sigh, "Yes mother he was totally cool with it. So um wanna go out for dinner tomorrow night?"
Arthur smiled as he agreed then hung up. He turned to the confused looking Francis. "Frog are you sure this is the same Ivan. Apparently Ivan took it very well."
Francis quickly nodded, "it cannot be that much of a coincidence there are not may rich Russian men named Ivan Braginki living in this area.
Arthur nodded, agreeing, "well keep an eye out on any suspicious activity and inform me, I'll do the same and be sure to keep an eye out on Alfred."
Francis nodded before offering the other something to eat. The two had dinner than Arthur took his leave, walking back home, unknowing of the pair of violet eyes following him. Soon he was at the door of his decent sized apartment. As he opened the door he gasped as he felt someone grab him from behind. Trying to fight the strong grip he didn't notice the white cloth until it was over his face and he slowly fell into darkness. The last thing he saw was a pair of violet eyes.
'Alfred….'
