It wasn't long before England finally began to stir again. America scooted closer to the bed trying to be the first thing England would see upon opening his eyes. England opened his emerald green eyes and looked up into America's loving face. Unaware of himself, he smiled a small 'hi' before wincing in pain.
"Shh," America commanded, "It's Ok. You're in the hospital. You're going to be Ok. I promise." He began to stroke England's blonde hair forgetting his reservations. The room had disappeared. The only things in America's world were him and an England that needed him.
"My head hurts," England said hoarsely.
"You hit your head when you fell down the stairs," America explained, "You also fractured your arm, I think. But it's Ok. Everything's Ok."
"You didn't tell anyone, did you?" England asked, "That I was in the hospital."
America nodded. "I had to, Iggy," America explained to England's stricken face, "If by chance you missed a meeting or an important deadline you had to have an excuse. Mattie and Peter are here too. They went down to the diner to grab something to eat."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
America paused for a moment and looked right into England's now dull green eyes. "Because I wanted to be here when you woke up," he sighed.
"You didn't have to..." England began.
"But I did," America cut in, "I needed to be with you. I needed to make sure you were Ok. It's been a tough week. But I think we're in the clear now." America smiled softly.
At that moment America's phone went off. It had gone off many times before, but he had been to numb to notice it and Canada never pointed it out to him knowing he would not bother to answer it. America took the phone out of his pocket and checked the screen.
"Who is it?" England asked having heard the vibration.
"It's a text," America replied as he clicked to open it, "From Hungary."
"What does it say?" England asked.
"'Hi America,'" America read, "'How is everything? Please text me or call me back. I'm really worried about England. Do you want me to come? Much love, Hungary.'" America looked up at England. "I have another twenty or so messages. Chances are they say generally the same things. Want me to read them to you?"
England nodded a yes and America began to read through all the text messages the other countries had sent. There was another message from Italy who had stolen Germany's phone again. Russia had texted offering to sent vodka and sunflowers and China offered to send food like many of the other countries had. France texted again begging for an update. America texted everyone back and told them that England was doing fine and that there was no need to send things or come. He included that England would be at the next world meeting safe and sound and thanks for being so worried. England was happy with that. He didn't want nor felt he needed anyone to come or send things. This was no big deal after all, right?
As America shut his phone, the door opened and Canada walked in carrying a McDonnald's take out bag. His eyes widened with happy surprise at seeing England awake.
"Arthur!" Canada said happily, "You're awake. How are you feeling? Oh, Alfred, I brought you a burger. I knew you would be hungry." Canada tossed America the bag. He caught it easily and greedily opened the bag pulling out a box that contained a burger.
Canada took his seat in the chair next to America. "Are you hungry?" he asked, "I could go get the doctor and ask him what you can eat."
"You can page the doctor with this little button thing," America said through a bite of cheeseburger. He held up a small little control that had a red button on it. "I'd just call him now," America continued after swallowing, "He might want to know when Arthur woke up." Canada nodded and pressed the button. A bright yellow light appeared in the hallway above the door that Canada had not closed.
After a few minutes a nurse scurried into the room. She seemed timid, like a deer caught in headlights. It didn't take a genius to realize that she was probably new to the hospital staff. "Y... Yes?" she asked.
"My friend just woke up," America explained, "We weren't sure if the doctor would want to know."
"Oh... Of course," the nurse said as she bolted from the room. After a few moments the doctor strolled into the room.
"Hey! How are you feeling?" he asked England as he walked over to the bed.
"Alright," England replied, "Just my head and arm hurts." His cheeks were bright red from embarrassment.
"Well, that's normal," the doctor told him, "You hit your head pretty hard. You also broke your arm. Your hand, though, is no longer infected so your fever shouldn't jump up like it did before. Actually, it's going down." He turned to one of the monitors England was hooked up to. "It's 101.8 right now," he said, "You should be back to normal soon. We just want to keep you for a little while to make sure your head is Ok. We also need to do some surgery on your arm. The bones are shattered and we need to surgically repair it or else it will never heal. If you're hungry you can have one of your... Friends grab something from the cafeteria."
England nodded. "Thank you sir," he said, "Do you know if there's tea in the cafeteria?"
"Hey, nice accent!" the doctor exclaimed, "Are you from England? What part?"
England was slightly taken aback by the doctor's comment. "I'm from London," England replied slightly irked.
"Hey! My niece lives there. You know her?"
"Thank you," America glared annoyed by the doctor. His voice was a little harsh and the doctor looked rather shocked. "You have been very kind," America said in a softer tone, "I can't thank you enough!" America gave the doctor a bright, kind smile.
"Y... Yes," the doctor stammered unsure of how to respond, "Of course, you're welcome." With that he walked out of the room rather quickly and shut the door behind him. When he was out of earshot, the three nations burst into a fit of laughter.
"Rude American," England mumbled, "They always ask me the stupidest questions."
"Sorry about that, Iggy," America apologized laughing, "But people here seem to think your accent is pretty kick-ass." And sexy. America blinked. These weird thoughts had been popping into his mind for a little while. He wanted to push them away but couldn't. Part of him disliked the random thoughts. Another, stronger part of him loved them.
"He never answered my question either," England huffed.
"I'll go see if there is any tea," Canada offered, "And I'll bring back something light to snack on." With a smile, Canada walked out of the room shutting the door behind him.
England sighed and turned to face America. "What are you looking at?" England asked him. America had been staring into space, his eyes fixated on England's eyes.
America blinked, broken from his thoughts. "I... Sorry," America blushed forgetting what he was even thinking about.
"No, what?" England persisted.
"Just... Uh," America stammered, "You look nice." America blushed. He had not meant to say that, but it just popped out. He shrugged his shoulders hoping to pass it off as a joke.
England's eye twitched. "I'm in the hospital, my hair a mess, sick as a dog, and I have a broken arm and I 'look nice?'" He asked clearly irked.
"I... No! Sorry, you don't look nice," America tried, "Wait! No! I mean you don't look nice, you just look good. Wait, no... Uh..." America's face turned even redder as he began to nervously fumble with his coat.
"You're a git," England said harshly. But when America looked up at him, he was smiling. The two made eye contact and broke into a fit of giggles. Even with the sad situation the two were in at the moment, they could still find happiness with each other. Although life had dealt them a tough hand to work with, they were still able to manage just because they were with each other.
Canada came back a short while later beaming with pride that they cafeteria actually did have some tea. England happily drank the warm calming liquid. The day passed rather quickly. At five minutes until six, a nurse came into the room to let the two nations know that visiting hours were over. The countries said their goodbyes. Just as Canada and America walked out of the room, England fell asleep tired after what he felt was a long day.
"Wait!" America exclaimed as they entered the waiting room. He turned to the nurse at the desk. "Where is the gift shop?" he asked her.
"It's in the next building over," she replied, "But it's closing at six."
"Thanks!" America shouted as he ran for the doors opposite the parking lot.
"Wait!" Canada shouted to the now excited nation, "Where are you going?"
"I have to get something!" America explained from across the room, "I'll be there in a little bit. I'll meet you at the car." He ran out the automatic doors and into what was the Children's building. America bolted into the gift shop that was just off the lobby.
"Hey!" A woman, who was obviously the store owner, shouted, "We close in two minutes. So hurry up or you're getting locked in." She had been standing in the doorway ready to close the store. Now she slowly walked back to the registers and stood with her arms folded across her chest obviously annoyed at the nation.
"That's fine!" America said grabbing what he had come in the store for. He brought it up to the register and popped it on the counter. He plucked a post card from the stand and took an "I Love NYC" from a cup. He wrote a scribbled a note on the heavy paper and handed the woman a twenty saying, "Keep the change." He dashed out the door and back to the main building.
A young nurse with deep green eyes and blonde hair looked up at him as he bolted in. "Can I help you?" she asked as he approached the desk.
"Yeah," he panted, "I'm sorry! I just need to give my friend something. It will take five seconds, I swear! Please, dude! It's important. And I won't wake him up. I'll be quiet! Please!"
"It's past six, you know," she said, "I don't think so. Sorry."
"Please!" America whined batting his eyes, "Come on, you're a pretty woman, you know! A pretty woman such as yourself must have a big heart to match her pretty face."
The woman blushed and said nothing. "You're eyes are really pretty too," America continued, "I'm a sucker for green eyes." Well, that much was true. Although America was leading the poor woman on, he had no time to feel bad for his actions.
"Well, fine, I guess," the woman mumbled, "But you have five seconds, got it?" Blushing, she lead him back to England's room.
America wandered into the dark room. England was fast asleep on the hospital bed. As America came closer, he noticed how peaceful England looked. He tucked his present, a medium sized golden brown teddy bear, into England's bed. Softly, he kissed England's forehead. He left the room as England unconsciously snuggled closer to the bear.
Iggy, I can't be with you tonight like I have been these past few nights. But here's a bear to keep you company while I'm gone. I'll be back in the morning. 'Cause I'm the hero, remember? Get well soon, Iggy! You better!
Love Alfred
CORNY NOTE IS CORNY~ And a cheesy chapter is also cheesy~!
I don't like this chapter either . I hate how I wrote it... I'm hoping I like the next one better.
I'll also be gone for a few days. I have a speech and debate tournament tomorrow (WISH ME LUCK~!) and am going on an overnight with the team. Last year, the computers broke and we didn't leave until midnight on Saturday . Hopefully that will NOT happen this year, but you never know. Hopefully I'll be back at 5. Still, I'll be way to tired to do anything~
Getting to the point: I'm updating on Sunday. Sorry for the wait ;_;
