"Kiku, do you know where we're going?" Feliciano asked glancing at his phone where the address had been texted to them from Canada. "I thought Broadway Street was that way." He pointed out the window where he had seen a street signed.
Feliciano loved the country side, he wasn't one for bustling streets and crowded buildings but something about New York just made him smile. Feliciano wasn't that close to America but he liked the smiley American and now that he was missing the brunette couldn't help but be a little worried for him. Seeing as how they were already in New York the two didn't have too far too go, that would be if they didn't end up getting lost.
"Kiku, we've passed this road like three times," Feliciano pointed out. "I think we should pull over and ask for directions. We really should hurry if America is missing, everyone wants to find him after all."
Kiku let out a non-comitial sound before pulling over per Feliciano's request, "Hai, maybe someone will help us…" Parking on the side of the road Kiku waved a passerby over, "Excuse me Mister, I was wondering if you could direct me towards Broadway Street?" No one responded to his question and one man was rude enough to flip them off. "Excuse me?" No answer. "Mister?"
"Kiku I don't think this is going to work," Feliciano said frowning at the rude people walking past them. Unbuckling himself from the passenger side he was careful not to walk in the middle of the road. Edging around the car the Italian male made his way to the sidewalk. "C'mon, we need to find his apartment and help Ameri-Alfred."
America's human name rolled off his a tongue awkwardly, Feliciano wasn't used to using his name. Saying the human name was for a disguise but usually only close friends and family of the nation used them. Most of Europe used each other's human and nation name interchangeably but America and Canada were all alone. The thought of not having his own family surrounding him made Feliciano sad and he wanted nothing more than to return the American to his own family.
Opening the door Kiku emerged as well having turned off the car he locked it as well, "Feli-kun I believe we've arrived already…" He pointed towards a street sign the white letters stark against the green 'Broadway St.' and Feli let out a soft curse he had learned from Romano. Frowning he glanced at the row of apartment buildings in front of him, they seemed do normal rather than anything the normally boisterous would buy.
"We're going to Anne Apartment Complex," Kiku read looking at his phone. Walking to the right they stood in front of the very building. It was simple enough, red brink white accents, Feliciano couldn't help but think is seemed rather cute. "We should go in right now."
"Ve~ I hope Americ-Alfred is in," Feliciano said frowning slightly at the looks he had been given. Walking inside the pair were greeted by a smiling woman at the small desk up front with a smile Feliciano got them the key to America's room and Kiku got the woman's number, strangely enough. "So his room number is 5G?" Feliciano asked as they entered the elevator.
"Hai."
Kiku pushed the button Feliciano rocked on the back of his heels. Five floors later they were on America's floor. Stepping off Feliciano led the way to apartment 5G, "America~ are you home?" Walking in without knocking Feliciano was greeted with an organized mess. Papers were scattered over a little table, blankets of strewn over the floor Feliciano tripped over what looked like a small pet bed. Sitting on the floor the Italian pet the soft bed which was covered in white cat fur. He sneezed, "I don't think he's been here Kiku."
"Why would you say that Feli-kun," Kiku asked looking over the well lived in room. "There is nothing showing that Alfred-kun wasn't here. Everything looks similar to how it was last time I was here." He nodded at the pile of games on the table, "I brought those over a few weeks ago. Everything looks the same." He walked further into the apartment, familiar with the lay out and the mess. Unlike Feliciano who continued to trip over things laying around.
Feliciano trailed behind him holding on to his coat sleeve much like he would with Ludwig, "Isn't that weird though?" They walked into the bedroom where the entire color scheme was red, white and blue. "I mean, even if it feels lived in it also looks like he hasn't been here too. There's dust covering almost everything and that cat bed was covered in fur. I know America isn't much of a neat freak but that was a lot of fur, everywhere. I'm not even allergic to cats and I sneezed"
"There is a lot of dust and fur," Kiku admitted not really believing America was missing. "But we should check his fridge if nothing else, that'll tell us if he was here. From what I remember he had to go food shopping for every week."
Feliciano nodded skipping back to the main room where the kitchen was, opening the door he jumped back as a kitty jumped down from atop the refrigerator. "Ah!" Leaping back the brunette stared at the white cat hissing at him. "Kiku! There's a kitty here hissing at me!" He scuttled backwards trying not to get attacked by the kitty. When the animal didn't move towards him he stood up slowly, "I'm okay, but I don't know why this kitty is staring at me."
Kiku walked in, "It's probably hungry, and if Alfred-kun has really been missing for a while the cat probably wouldn't have been fed unless he was planning it." The Japanese man knelt down to pet the cat feeling through the thick fur for its collar. "I believe this is Americat. Hello, kitty." He ran a hand through the fur again prompting Feliciano to do the same. Feliciano smiled at the cat.
Climbing to his feet Feliciano spotted the bag of cat food above the cabinets, he grabbed the food and a bowl from the cabinets and poured a heaping amount of food and offered it to the kitty. Backing away he looked towards Kiku, "Can we take him with us? It's not like anyone's here to look after him and I'd love to have a cute little kitty with us." For once Feliciano was glad he hadn't been partnered with Ludwig, if only because he knew his blonde friend wouldn't let them take the kitty with him. The German was more a dog kind of guy and even if he liked cats he certainly wouldn't have liked America's.
"Hai, I suppose," Kiku said hesitating first. "I wouldn't want to just leave it here by itself. But we must find some kind of way to contain it. I don't think anyone else will appreciate him." Feliciano let out a cheer before grinning and hugging him. Picking the kitty up Feliciano help him gently in his arms as he began searching for something to hold the cat in. "I'll go search for something to carry it with. You should find some of Alfred-kun is things. If he really is…" he paused searching for the right answer. "Missing. He would want some of his stuff when we find him."
"Ve~," Feliciano said smiling cheerfully as he headed back into the bedroom searching for something to bring to America. A bit of digging through the junk layering the floor revealed an old blanket, a red ribbon, a toy stuffed rabbit, and a pack of mysterious tarot cards. Grabbing all of the things Feliciano was careful not to jostle Americat as he tucked the things into a bag. "Kiku did you find something to carry Amerikitty? I found some of America's stuff."
"Hai," Kiku called walking into the room to meet him in the bedroom. "I found a carrier case fir the cat." He help out a basket the lid open and let the kitty jump in by itself. From there he held out the basket for Feliciano to carry. "Here. I'll hold the things for you."
"Alright, is that everything?" Feliciano asked doing his best to clean up the mess he had made searching for things.
"Hai."
"I'll call Francis to see how they're doing," Feliciano said walking into the hallway and towards the elevator as Kiku began locking the door. Pulling out his phone the Italian began dialing big brother Francis number. Pressing the button for the elevator Feliciano held his phone to his ear getting the answering tone, "Caio~ Francis! We got there and now we're heading back to DC okay? Call me back when you get this message."
"France-san wasn't responding?" Kiku asked standing beside him as the elevator as they waited. "I called Ludwig-kun. He said they were just arriving in Boston." Feliciano smiled at the thought of his German friend. "Ready to head back to DC?"
"Yup!"
