England pulled his car to the front of his house. He stopped and looked up at the house. He was excited, but he was also with anxiety. If his idea worked, then America would be better. But it also might mean that they would end up going back the way they were. Japan placed a supportive hand on his shoulder and he nodded, leading him into the house.

"America! I'm back! Did you eat lunch?"England asked as soon as he walked in.

He took his shoes and jacket off and placed them in the closet. England heard a board squeak quietly and looked up just in time to see Japan jump from America's sudden presence in the doorway of the living room. England nodded at Japan who nodded back and walked into the living room. England smiled kindly at America and eventually the young nation followed Japan into the other room. England sighed and walked into the kitchen.

He opened the fridge and frowned when he saw the food he had left for lunch was still there. He walked to the doorway of the living room to tell the other two nations he was going to make some food. He proceeded to do just that and gathered enough food for all of them. He wanted to hear what they were talking about, but knew he had to give them time. The American had to focus on others not just him, even if it sent a small pang through his heart.

America looked at England's smile before giving a barely noticeable sigh. He turned and followed Japan into the living room and sat down on the couch across from the chair he was sitting on. America looked up at Japan. He seemed to push the darkness away, but it wasn't as much as England. Even though England's words were what gave the darkness the power to swallow him, he was still the one that pushed it away the most.

"Kon'nichiwa, America-san."Japan greeted him with his normal polite smile.

America kept silent, though he didn't look away. Why was he here? He didn't need America, so what did he care? No nation cared about someone who wasn't needed.

"England-san asked me to cone see if I could help you feel better."Japan reached into his bag and brought out some things."I have some new games that came out while you were gone. Two are horror games and the other one is a first person shooter."

Japan reached over and placed the movies in his lap. America looked at them. The titles were all in Japanese, but the pictures on the front gave a pretty good idea as to what they were about.

"The first person shooter has aliens. I thought you would like that."Japan laughed quietly, remembering how America would've gotten over excited about a game with aliens.

Japan continued to talk, ignoring America's blank stare. Still, America could tell his friend was uncomfortable. He started to pay attention when Japan went back to his bag. The older nation was now talking about the latest episodes of an anime he watched. Japan pulled out his camera and held it out so America could see.

"These are some cosplay people did at the convention. It is amazing, isn't it?"Japan asked flipping through the pictures.
America had to admit, it really was amazing. The anime was one he enjoyed watching and the cosplay was almost perfect. America had always wanted to cosplay that anime, but his favorite character was too small for him to cosplay as. Despite his amazement, America couldn't bring himself to smile. It just didn't affect him the same way it used to. Suddenly, there was a sound like a small explosion and coughing, signaling that England was done cooking.

"Well, I suppose I shall take my leave, now. It was nice seeing you, America-san."Japan stood up and bowed slightly before going into the hall.

America listened as he ran into England in the hall. They talked for a minute before England walked in, saying about how it was a shame he had to leave. England set the plate of blackened things that were once food on the table in front of America. America looked between the food and England before leveling his gaze on the shorter nation, almost like he was asking if he really had to eat it. When England's gaze hardened and he put his hands on his hips, America gave a tiny sigh and started eating.

The rest of the day passed almost exactly like normal. America sent England the same look during dinner and even though he pretended to be annoyed, America could see the smile at the corners of his lips. However, America changed the routine again at bedtime. After England changed him and laid him down in bed, America grabbed his wrist to keep him from leaving. England looked back, worry evident on his face, though it soon changed.

America tugged on his wrist a bit, wanting him to kiss his fore head like the other night. He knew England knew what he wanted, cause his face had flushed a deep red and there a mixture of surprise, relief and embarrassment in his eyes. America had a light blush on his own face, but he tugged again, determined to get what he wanted. England sighed after a moment and stepped next to the bed, leaning down and giving his forehead a soft kiss before quietly wishing him sweet dreams and rushing out of the room. America smiled and curled up underneath the cover, falling into a peaceful sleep.
