Sorry for the late update. I've been real busy and FFNet has been cracking down on stories that are definitely MA rated. I'm worried that my stories are going to be deleted [or most of them, anyway] so I have devised a plan. I created an account on yourfanfiction dot com. My stories will be posted there, so you can read them there if my stories should ever be deleted. Also, I am thinking about creating a Livejournal account and I'll post them there as well. Maybe a Tumblr as well...
Anyway, sorry for late update and short chapter. I was very hesitant to continue this because I don't have much time anymore. ;A; I apologize!

This chapter starts in America's point of view and then it goes into Third Person after the transition.
"He knows, America."
I freeze in mid-air as I walk into the Tube. "What?"
England sighs. "I mean—he has a pretty good idea. He called me into his office last night and right off the bat asked if we were up to no good." He leans against the glass of the Tube. "I just don't understand how he can assume, without any clues, that we're planning something."
I plop down on the floor. "Well, most we can do is just wait until Saturday."
England sits next to me, shaking his head. "Another thing he mentioned was the contract. He's still hell-bent on that thing. He won't let me go because I'm bound to it."
"We'll figure something out." I rest my arm on England's shoulders. "I'll fight for you as a last resort. Hell, I'll even declare war and bring all of my troops to beat his ass." I pause and notice the look of worry on his face. "This is wrong, what your boss is doing. Prostitution shouldn't be a job that calls for a contract—you should be will to quit whenever you wish. Who cares if you bring in the most money? It's your life—do with it as you wish."
England's eyes start to tear up. "...I know." He looks down at his fumbling hands.
"You're part of choosing what laws pass and what laws don't pass. I'm sure you let this Prostitution law pass without thinking what he might slip in, right?"
England shuffles uncomfortably. "...Yes." he shakily whispers.
I pat his back as I comfort him. "Don't worry—I'm not getting angry. It's just that you're too oblivious to what people will do to get what they want. This world's a nasty place, and it's a shame to see the people that run it. That's why, as a country, you have to foresee all of those sneaky slips and correct them. I admit that I'm not perfect—hell, America might as well be the dumbest country on Earth with the way we're going right now. Nobody is perfect, so it's natural that we screw up something once in a while." I give him a smile and lift England's chin up so I can look him in the eye.
England shook his head. "I'm sorry."
"What?" I ask, frowning. "You don't have to be sorry. You're the leader of your country—You don't have to apologize to me, of all people. If anything, apologize to your people-" I pause. "Hell, I don't think they're even mad about this law. If anything, they're enjoying it to its full extent. Shit, two men fucking in public? Most people are up for that 'cause it's a taboo so it's not spoken much or seen of. ...The country of England is breaking two taboos at once, you realize that?"
"...We are?" He asks as his eyes grow wide. "I know prostitution is a taboo..."
"Homosexuality is a taboo as well." I smile. "Two taboos, not to mention rape, so that would make three. Just about three taboos, Arthur."
England throws himself against the back of the glass. "That's a lot, huh?" He chuckles. "Bloody hell."
We sit in silence for the rest of the time.
As I get up, England reaches for my hand. I stop and give him a look. "What?"
"...Take me with you."
I gasp. "Are you serious?" He nods his head and chuckles. "...Wait, what?"
"Are you confused?" He asks me, "...I thought I voiced my request clear enough to understand." He pulls me into a tight embrace. "I want to go with you," he whispers into my ear.
I stare with horror at this man. "But..that would ruin everything we were planning! You would have to go into hiding! Your boss would be pissed!"
"Oh yeah, I understand." England nods, "and I'm tired of waiting. Not to mention that it seems that he will never let me go if I wish."
I hesitate for a minute. I mean—yeah, I want him to come with me. He shouldn't be trapped here against his will, even if he did insist on doing it anyway. But there was no way we could get out of this easily.
"...If you wish."
"I want Squads 1 and 2 to search in the Town Square of London!" The boss barked into the phone. "He couldn't have gotten too far within an hour."
"Yes, sir."
He slams the phone onto the receiver. "Goddamn it!" He slicks his hair back. "I knew he wanted to leave, but I didn't expect him to just up and leave." The boss paces back and forth in his office. "It's that American's fault. If he never came to England's Tube upon accident, this would have never sparked an interest in Arthur."
"Sir," the phone's intercom rang, "England cannot be found anywhere. What would you like us to do next?"
"Just call off the search! We won't find him here."
"As you wish, sir."
"America," he groans.
"You are one tough bugger." He grins to himself.
"It's quite the challenge, but I will get him back."
He eyes the drawer in his desk that holds a lethal device.
"I'll use my last resort if I have to..."
Author's Note: Bah! I didn't really like how I wrote this last part but I wanted to include it. This is such a short chapter! I'll make up for it in the next chapter, though. Hopefully you all read what I wrote up there. D:
I finished a couple of anime because I'm staying at my sister's place for a month o.o My brother is always on the laptop and I figure, "Why not? I'll write the chapter later~" ;A; Bad mistake. Anyway, I recommend you all watch Mirai Nikki/The Future Diary. SUCH A GOOD ANIME! Though, it's very similar to the Hunger Games because the anime is about a survival game. Just check it out :D
I also finished Persona 4: The Animation T^T I wanted to cry. I'm actually a quarter of the way through of Blue Exorcist/Ao no Exorcist. Watch that too~
Sorry for my rant. I hope you all liked this short chapter. Apologies!
Thanks, you all~
