As promised, Alfred had tagged along with you, and whenever someone tried to start a conversation with him, of course it was in Japanese. So that meant every time you had to apologize for Alfred, since he had no clue what they were talking about.
"Hey (Name)! Can we hurry up?" Alfred asked me suddenly.
"Yeah Alfred, we're almost there. Why do you keep on telling me that?" You asked, but you were pretty sure the answer was-
"Because, people keep on trying to talk to me! I dunno what they are saying!" Alfred exclaimed. You were about to say something, but the American cut you off with, "For all I know, they could be talkin' about killing me!"
"Shut up Alfred, some people here can speak English as well as Japanese." You hissed, glancing around you, but no one made a reaction, so deemed it safe.
Alfred stared at you, his mouth forming an 'o' and then quickly apologized.
"Just-Just don't talk as much, and we'll be there quicker, okay?" You asked, and watched Alfred nod.
From then on, you two remained quiet; Alfred just trailed along behind you soundlessly, besides the quiet tap tap of his feet. And you kept on walking, accidently forgetting Alfred was with you, and he fell behind, and of course, you were ahead, so you hadn't noticed.
A few moments later, you looked behind to see if Alfred was to see him, but saw no sign of your American friend. You got frantic. Where had he gone? Did he leave and go to see Kiku?
"It's okay; I'm here (Name)." A familiar voice rang through your ears, as he slipped his hand into yours.
You looked in the direction where the voice had come from, and saw Alfred smiling widely, "Al-Alfred! Don't scare me like that!" You exclaimed. "You didn't think I left you, did ya?"
"N-No I did not!"
"Okay, if you say so, but let's keep going, we're almost there."
You remained quiet, and stared at your entwined hands, and then glanced up at Alfred, then at your hands again.
"O-Oh! I-I'm sorry…" he mumbled, and took his hand away and it hung by his side.
"It's okay. No problem…" You replied quietly.
And you two kept on walking, soundlessly, and when he left, you had a small smile gracing your lips, happy that you were friends with Alfred.
You stared at the crowd of people, of course, it was only to be expected for it to be bustling with people, and you noted that there were quite a few people walking around in cosplay.
After looking in countless shops, you finally bought a few manga and a game.
Silently slipping through the crowd of people, you made your way back to your way home, and you happened to come across the same sidewalk you had met Kiku.
When Alfred-san had suddenly shown up, it had scared me. It's not every day a boisterous American comes banging at your door…
"Hey Kiku," he smiled widely. "How are ya today?"
"Konnichiwa Alfred-san, I'm well, and you."
"As awesome as a hero could be!" Alfred yelled at the top of his lungs, making me wonder I had become friends with such a loud person anyway.
"Why are you here Alfred-san?" I asked, but I thought it would be for the demo game I had promised I would lend him, I was positive.
"Dude, Kiku, I came to get that game! I mean seriously, who doesn't have enough time to mail something to the hero?"
I mentally face palmed. What kind of person travels to Japan from America just to get a demo game? I really think there is something wrong with this person… I worry for him… "Alfred-san, did you really come here to get the demo?" Because if you did, that is really stupid… A huge waste of money…
"Yep!" Alfred said simply.
I really did face palm this time, leave Alfred F. Jones to prove how much of a typical American he was. Spending money like that… I wonder what Vash-san would tell him right now... "Just give me a minute, please? I'll lend you it when I'm done."
"Sure thing Kiku!"
A/N I decided I'm going to show both sides of this story, from just your point of view, the chapters would be short.
Thanks to Whitefang for the reviews you left me~
I'll try and do my best with updating this, I'm sorry...
