Hey guys! I'm super sorry that it's taking so long to update this story! News and update info after the story. Anywho, ENJOY!
P.S Hetalia does not belong to me...
Alfred looked at the boy in astonishment. He saw him. After weeks of being a wandering spirit that no one saw, he came along. Alfred had so many questions that he wanted ask, so many things that he wanted to say, but it just came out as
"Oh my gosh..."
The boy smiled back at Alfred, he looked almost amused of Alfred's reaction. Alfred extended his hand over to the boy's face, then poked his cheek once. Alfred withdrew his hand, he didn't know how to react once again. All of this seemed so surreal to Alfred. But then again, everything that has been happening lately seemed surreal. Alfred observed the boy once more. He realized that the boy was almost a mirror image of him, only with longer hair and blue eyes that had a violet hue to them. Alfred was even more amazed then before. Then, Alfred asked one of the most random questions at the time.
"Are... Are you my guardian angel or something?"
"W-what?" The boy looked shocked. He wasn't expecting a question like that. Alfred blushed a little after realizing how stupid he probably looks.
"Ahhh... Sorry. Heh heh. I umm... I guess I just haven't talked to anyone in a while. I hope I didn't freak you out or something..." Alfred said.
"No it's fine." The boy replied. The boy seemed kind and understanding.
There was an awkward pause between them. They boy didn't seem to care, but Alfred hated awkward silence.
"So... are you my guardian angel...?" Alfred asked shyly.
"Oh goodness no. If I was I probably would have known about you sooner." the boy said. Alfred looked away shyly. 'Come on Al! You're making a fool of yourself! This guy is the first dude you've seen and been able to talk to in weeks!' He thought to himself.
"Sorry, it was a stupid question." Alfred told him.
"No no no, it's fine. I've been asked that question before. It's not new." the boy reassured.
Alfred felt a bit relieved that it wasn't the first time someone had asked him that question.
"Thanks you... I'm sorry I didn't get your name yet. Would you mind telling me your name?" Alfred asked.
"Matthew. My name Matthew. And you must be Alfred."
"How did you know?"
"I've seen you on the news. You were hit by a car. I knew that you were a spirit because I saw you walking around the streets. And I saw you go through a wall..."
"Oh. So you're a spirit too?"
"Yep!" Matthew responded with pride . Alfred didn't know how Matthew could respond in such a way. Alfred almost broke down being a spirit, and if it wasn't for Matthew he would have. It was a lonely life being a spirit. No wonder those spirits they claim to hear in those ghost hunter shows seem so lifeless and sad.
"So, Matthew. How do you deal with this?"
"Deal with what?"
"Ya know, being a spirit. How are you so optimistic?". Alfred pulled his knees up to his chest and looked down at the streets below him.
Matthew looked up at the sky, almost like he was trying to find the answer in the stars. He thought for a while, before he looked back at Alfred.
"I don't really know. I guess I try to find the bright side of things."
Alfred scoffed in response. "The bright side of things. I don't know how this could get any worse."
Matthew shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows, you could be dead."
Those sudden words shocked Alfred. He wasn't expecting a response like that. Matthew realized how dark are probably creepy that sounded.
"I-I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to- I didn't mean to- What I'm really trying to say is... uhhhh." Matthew gave up on his apology knowing that if he continued trying he'd only mess up again.
Alfred laughed a little. He'd never seem anyone get so worked up over an apology.
"Hey bro. It's okay! No need to worry about it. I kind of creeped you out when I first met you. Let's just call it even." Alfred reassured. Matthew smiled.
"Sounds good to me."
Both smiled. Silence returned. Alfred sighed and laid down on his back. He looked up at the stars above him. Although, he couldn't really see them well because of all the city lights.
"Hey, I know a nice place where we could just, ya know, hang out." Matthew said. Alfred sat back up and looked at Matthew.
'Should I trust this guy? He has been nice to me and hasn't done or said anything mean. And he can't do much either since he's a spirit too.'
"Sure! Let's go!" Alfred got up and started making his way towards the staircase back inside the hospital.
"No it's too far away to walk to it, and we can't take a car." Matthew told him. Alfred had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Then how will we get there?"
Matthew smiled. "Take my hand."
"Huh?!"
"Take my hand." Matthew stated once more.
"Why?" Alfred asked.
"You'll see."
Alfred bit his lip trying to figure out what Matthew was going to do.
"What, you don't trust me? Are you scared?" Matthew mocked.
"What! No I'm not scared!" Alfred answered back.
Matthew got up extended his hand over to Alfred. Alfred took his hand firmly. The floor beneath them started to glow.
"Woah!"
Alfred closed his eyes. There was a quick flash of light. Alfred noticed that the ground was now softer. He opened his eyes and let go of Matthew's hand. He looked around and saw that they were now in a field. He looked up at the sky. The stars shone like diamonds in the sky. He looked back down at the field and saw little fireflies buzzing around them.
"It's nice here isn't it?" Alfred turned back around to Matthew.
"Dude! You just teleported us! That's so awesome! How did you do that!"
"It's a perk that you learn after a while." Matthew said shyly "But it drains a lot of my energy."
"It's still totally awesome! You'll have to teach me how to do that sometime soon."
Matthew smiled shyly. They both laid down in the grass and looked up at the stars. Matthew told Alfred a hole bunch of constellations and the stories they told. Alfred surprisingly listened to all of them without getting off topic every time he made a comment. After that both stayed silent. They looked at the stars in silence. After a while something was bugging Alfred. He was trying to remember something, but he couldn't.
"Hey Matthew. Can I just call you Matt?"
"Sure."
"Ok Matt, I feel like I've been here before... But I just can't remember."
Matthew opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but he closed it.
Alfred sat up and looked around the field. 'Think Al! When have you been here before?!' Alfred thought to himself. He looked over at a firefly that was buzzing around minding his own business.
Alfred was running around in the field. It was night time, and the fireflies where out.
"Alfred don't go too far! It's dark out!"
"Okay mom! I won't!"
Alfred looked back at Matthew.
"Ha! I remember now!"
"You do?"
"Yeah! I came to this field when I was younger! I was with my mom, my step dad, my step brother and this other kid... I think."
"'other kid?'" Matthew asked.
"Yeah. There was this other kid I use to be friends with when I was younger. We use to do everything together. Heck, I don't think that I spent a day without him." Alfred said cheerfully. But his expression saddened a little "But one day he just kinda disappeared. I never saw him again. I only asked about him once, but Arthur told me that I should try to forget about him. I never spoke about him, but I never forgot about him. Sadly, I can't remember his name nor his face. It was such a long time ago. I think I was about 5 years old when he left. Man, I wonder if he still remembers me."
"Yeah..." Matthew said.
"Huh?"
"Uh... I mean yeah. I wonder if he still remembers you..."
Things got a bit awkward. So Alfred changed the subject.
"Thanks for talking to me. I was starting to become depressed. If you hadn't come along, well... I would probably go crazy or something like that."
"Huh? Oh! It's honestly no problem. Sorry that I didn't find you sooner."
"What are you apologizing for dude! It makes sense that you didn't know that I was in spirit mode or whatever it's called."
Alfred gave Matthew his Hollywood worthy smile, Matthew gave a small smile back.
Alfred got up and stretched his arms.
"Well we should probably get back to the city, do you have enough energy to teleport?" Alfred asked.
"I do, but I wouldn't have any energy left when we get back." Matthew said.
"Awwww man! Do we have to walk back?" Alfred whined
"We don't have to walk all the way back, I'll just need to gain a bit more energy."
"Whew. Good. Cuz it takes, like, 45 minutes to drive all the way out here."
Matthew chuckled at Alfred's comment. They got out of the field and started walking on the road back to the city.
To be continued... maybe (jk)
HEY! I'M NOT DEAD! YAYYY! Are you glad to know that I'm not dead? (Booing in the crowd that I call my viewers). Ok I'm SO SORRY that I have not updated in a while... ok a long time. It was the end of the school year and the teachers gave me and the other students a lot of homework and projects. And I kinda went on a writers block. Oh well I think it's over now (sort of). Anywho THANKS FOR READING!
P.S Thank you to the people who left nice reviews (they make me feel special :3)
Oh and sorry for the grammar/spelling errors.
