Chapter 21

XXX Alfred's P.O.V. XXX

The next morning, he was sitting in Kiku's room, half heartedly picking at the donuts that the Asian had bought for them. Arthur was giving him a worried look from across the room, where he sat on the floor next to Lovino. Natalia had taken up the only chair in the room, leaving Kiku and MeiMei to take up one bad, and Alfred the other.

MeiMei wasn't eating much, and was doing about the same thing Alfred was. She looked nervous.

Kiku seemed to be picking up on this and was whispering in her ear, undoubtly trying to find out what wrong.

Natalia was still ignoring Alfred, and had chosen to direct her attention to MeiMei, who she seemed to be having a mental conversation with.

Lovino… well he just didn't give a f**k.

"Are you going to eat that, hamburger bastard?"

With a sigh, Alfred tossed the remains of his donut at Lovino, who instantly devoured it.

The room stared at him in shock.

"You… are actually giving up a donut," said Kiku in disbelief.

"The apocalypse must be coming," said Natalia.

Except Arthur.

"Please, leave him alone. A lot of things happened last night."

Lovino raised his eyebrows.

"What kind of things?" he asked.

Arthur stared at him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about-"

"Are you implying something… sexual, Lovino-san?" asked Kiku, who was still staring at MeiMei.

"Maybe~" said Lovino with a very sarcastic grin.

Arthur turned bright red.

"Bloody hell! That's just sick!"

"And you are very slow," said Lovino, wiping the crumbs off his shirt.

Alfred got up, hands clenched at his side.

He couldn't be in a room where everyone was happy. He needed a place to think, and sort out his emotions after last night.

"I'll be back," Alfred picked up his hotel key off the dresser and walked out the door.

XXX MeiMei's P.O.V. XXX

"What? No goodbye?" asked Lovino sarcastically.

"He seemed upset," stated Natalia.

"He was," said Arthur sadly, "No, is would be a better word."

"What happened? I've never seen him eat… so little," said Kiku. As he said this MeiMei could feel his eyes on her, pleading, begging to know what was wrong.

Nothing was wrong really, she was just nervous.

And scared.

"It's not for me to tell you," said Arthur, who sipped at his convenience store brand tea with a look of disgust. "Horrible flavor…" he muttered.

"Next time, I'll get you something different, Arthur-san," Kiku rested a hand on top of MeiMei's, which were resting in her lap. MeiMei stared at their hands, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Hey, Kiku?"

"Hmm, hai,MeiMei?" Kiku looked at her curiously.

She took his hand into hers and stood up.

"MeiMei?" he stood up with her, a confused expression on his delicate face.

"I have something I want to tell you," she said softly.

"Okay…" he followed her out of the room and down the hallway to the room she was sharing with Natalia.

Once she closed the door, she let go of his hands and stood by the window, staring out of it.

Kiku came up behind her and rested his chin on her shoulder, wrapping her arms around her torso.

"What's wrong MeiMei?" he asked.

She closed her eyes and leaned into his embrace.

"MeiMei?" he asked again.

"I'm pregnant," she whispered.

She felt Kiku stiffen behind her, but he didn't let go.

"MeiMei?"

"Hmm?"

"…Are you serious?"

"This isn't something I would joke about…"

"I know." He tightened his grip on her slightly and she put her hands on his arms.

"I'm scared Kiku," she whispered.

"I am too," he said softly into her ear, "But you know what?"

"What?"

"I'm always going to be with you. We'll get through this together okay?"

"…Really?"

"Really. I love you, and nothing is ever going to change that."

She closed her eyes again, and they stood there in silence. If had been any other guy, she probably would have never believed him. However, because it was him she believed every word he said.

They would get through this, the running away, the baby, their family situations.

And they would do it together.

Because, after all, who else did they have but each other?

XXX Natalia's POV XXX

Natalia had left soon after Kiku and MeiMei had, mainly because Lovino was annoying the hell out of her, leaving the hotel in the same general direction that she thought Alfred might have taken. She didn't understand how Kiku and MeiMei could love each other so much. She knew what MeiMei had to tell him, and she hoped that everything worked out for them.

To be honest, she never really understood most couples. She had never understood the pink flowers, and simple gestures of love and affection. For her, it had always been "becoming one" with her brother, until she had finally realized that it would never happen. That day was the same one that she had found Alfred underneath that tree.

When she had seen him sitting there, she was not only surprised to see him, but she was immediately struck with how vulnerable he had looked. That look was becoming more and more common on his face, and she still couldn't get used to it. She couldn't help but become worried about him.

Gosh… what was she saying?

She looked up and saw and saw an unexpected sight.

Alfred was sitting on a bench nearby, hunched over, staring at his folded hands. She stopped on the empty sidewalk and stared at him.

Don't just stand there, idiot, go say something.

Natalia approached him a little cautiously, unsure of how to even talk to him.

"I can see you."

Natalia blinked and saw that he was staring at her, his baby blue eyes filled with happiness.

At the same time, the orbs were also dim, and were missing something that they used to have.

"Don't just stand there, sit down."

Natalia sat on the farthest end of the bench her heart pounding widely in her chest.

Get it together, Natalia. He's just Alfred. You shouldn't be this nervous.

"Did you follow me?" he asked.

"Not intentionally…"

"Hmmm"

"Hey Alfred…"

"Yeah?"

"What happened?"

Alfred didn't say a word and Natalia kept her head down, so he couldn't see her face

"Hey, Natalia?"

"Yes?" she raised her head, only to be met by desperate lips pressing up against her own.

OMG AMERBEL FLUFF~

Fail JapanxTaiwan moment... I wanted them to kiss... but it didn't happen...
