Well this is it guys :P ok technically the previous chapter was it…but the wrap up counts to right! :D

Arthur Kirkland

The sun was hot as it beat down on my back, seeping through my T-shirt and shorts. I wasn't used to all this light, but it was obvious how France kept up his tan.

He was here somewhere along this stretch of beach, I could feel it…and one of my fairies had told me.

I was looking up and down the breach, trying to act like I wasn't lost, when I spotted him. He was lounging in a beach chair with nothing but dark sunglasses and red swim trunks on. He was laughing at something in front of him in the water, but I heard the shouts before I saw them. Spain and the Italy brothers were running in the shallow part of the water. Spain had caught one of them and was spinning him around.

"I wonder were Germany is…" I didn't realize I spoke out loud until France sat up and twisted in his chair at the sound of my voice.

He lifted his sunglasses up into his hair. It was wet and the usual blonde colour was now an off brown.

"Hey," My heart sped up as he spoke and I suddenly regretted coming," What are you doing here?"

I swallowed and stepped off of the board walk. Hot sand found its way quickly into my sandals as I walked over to him, "Nothing really. I just thought that I'd come by and see what was, uh, new."

He smiled softly and relaxed back into his chair, "Nothing much. It's quite boring here, but…how are you feeling?"

I could hear his hesitation to ask, which made me hesitate to sit beside him, "I'm doing ok. I'm a lot better now then before."

I wasn't sure he'd heard me until he nodded, "I'm glad to hear that."

I looked up surprised, "You are?"

Before he could answer, one of the Italy brothers spotted me and shouted from Spain's arms, "Hey! What the hell is eyebrows doing here?"

"Ve~" The other turned to were I was sitting, "AAAA! Germany! Save me!"

He was out of the water and running down the beach before I could even blink, "Fratello! Where are you going? Don't leave me here with this bastard!"

I pinched the bridge of my nose against an on coming headache as the remaining two struggled in the water. France just laughed.

"You look good," I said before I could stop myself.

France looked down at me and I blushed as I tried to recover, "No, I mean since then. When I last saw you, I mean. I can't see any bruises or scars from the fight and you…you're not even listening to what I'm saying, are you?"

He wiggled his eyebrows in response and I groaned, my face becoming hotter by the second, "Do you think so, mon cher?"

My old pet name made my pulse jump and I looked away from him. I didn't disserve this. I came here to apologize, "Look, I-"

"That wasn't a 'no'."

Suddenly I was being pulled up onto the chair with Francis, "What th-" He started laughing and tickling me before I could do anything.

"Cut it out you frog!" I gasped through my laughter.

He laughed again, "What? You want me to tickle you more? I'm not sure I can, but I'll try," A dark look filled his eyes as I tried hopelessly to squirm away from him.

I couldn't breathe. Tears were filling my eyes and falling down my face from laughing too hard and my sides were painfully crying out for it to stop.

I don't know how long it lasted, but finally he stopped. I couldn't stop giggling, though, and I was almost breathing too heavily to speak, "You're an idiot, frog."

He smiled, but I shook my head, forcing a somber tone and swallowing the laughter that was trying to bubble out, "No, I mean it. I came here to apologize and you wo-"

"I know"

I look right at him then and try to stand, but he holds me tightly against him, "What? So, you-"

"Forgive you, mon cher."

I scowl at him, "Don't finish my sentences."

He winks, but nods to let me continue, "I…what I did was wrong, and I lost everyone because of it, because of the magic and-"

"You didn't lose everyone, mon cher," He pulls me down until my head is tucked between his neck and his shoulder. He smells like the ocean.

"Then I should have," I push back up to look at him and he lets me, "I almost killed you and…"

He sighs, "Arthur, don't you realize that I know all of this? I was there, was I not?"

I look at him and try to find something in his eyes other than what I see there now. Anger, betrayal, things that I would be feeling, but there's nothing like that. Only…, "You can't possibly forgive me for all of that. I…I ruined you're life, kicked you out! I stopped you from seeing Alfred and Matthew; even though I was being less of a parent then I ever was to them. I should have sent them to you; maybe they wouldn't have run off, maybe they'd have stayed."

He finally looks at me sadly, but for a different reason, "Arthur, they would have grown up either way. They would have found other reasons to leave. And it wasn't really you who kicked me out."

I shook my head, not sure that I heard him right, "What?"

"It was the magic, not you." His smile was warm and soft, but completely mad.

"You've gone insane…that's it. I've driven you into insanity."

He laughs and brings me closer to him, "You do drive me insane mon cher, and I forgive you and love you because of it."

He pressed his lips onto mine before I could say anything else. Their warm familiarity distracting me for a few breathless minutes before I can focus, "You're a fool, a complete and total lunatic."

He kisses me again, tightening his arms around me, "I think I can live with that."

I want to thank all of my readers who were so loyal to me while I was trying to type this craziness out, and my very encouraging Hetalia friends ;) you know who you are and you are awesome! 3

I really hope that you liked the story at least, even if the writing sucked. To be honest with you…it came to me in a dream, so I encourage all aspiring writers out there to START A DREAM JOURNAL if you haven't! Our unconscious minds are the craziest, most creative parts of us…or at least that's my theory :)

After reading this over, I realized that France is a total idiot for taking England back! My Gods, what kind of twisted mind do I have! Whats worse is that I see it, but don't want to change it -.-' maybe relationships in general are different for nations...oh well, i'll take a happy ending when i see one ;D

Till next time!
