So this was a request by one of my friends who had recently got into the fandom. We created two characters together but she asked me to write some one-shots for the characters. You're welcome to come up with a ship name if you want to as I can't seem to think of one.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Warning: Implied character death.

Pairings:
Portugal x Northern England/North (OC)

-
Portugal couldn't believe what had happened and the news had devastated him. He wanted him to come back but he knew that it didn't work like that. If North came back, he wouldn't be the same North that everyone was used to and everyone knew that. The Portuguese nation wanted his lover back but he knew that he was asking for too much and that it wasn't possible. He couldn't bear the pain and he wanted to end everything but he promised that he wouldn't. They made a promise and Portugal wasn't going to break it any time soon. It wouldn't feel right to do that and they always kept their promises to each other.

The Portuguese man looked over the River Tyne, that ran through the city of Newcastle, and his facial expression was neutral. He had already sobbed his eyes out when he received the news and he was numb to the feeling inside of his chest. Northern England was gone and there was nothing that could be done to change that. Southern England disappeared first and North felt the loss of his twin before he disappeared. Two months later, North fell severely sick and then he disappeared a few days later without telling anyone. England was a mess at the loss of his brother along with his sister and no one knew what to do or say which made things worse. Portugal was by North's side when he disappeared so it hurt the other nation more than it should have.

Everyone was shocked when they learned about what had happened and everyone didn't know what to do. Spain tried his best to be there for Portugal but it was hard to help someone when they weren't home. The Portuguese nation was spending a lot of time helping England and he hadn't told anyone that he was dating North. He had to tell England but England was supportive of the relationship and he encouraged it to grow. The Englishman never had a problem with the relationship because they were happy together and he admitted that they were cute together. No one knew about their relationship since that was something that they wanted to keep private and they didn't want anyone to know. If people asked then they would tell those people but other than that, they never told anyone.

Romano had locked himself away when he had heard the news and Prussia broke down crying, stating that he should have been him to disappear first. The three of them were good friends which made breaking the news harder but England broke the news at a world meeting so everyone knew. Italy was helping his brother with his grief and Germany was helping Prussia along with Austria who knew about their friendship. France made sure that Canada and America were doing fine so he couldn't help out with England's brothers. The English nation had sent Prussia a leather jacket, which was North's favourite, and he had sent Romano a fur-lined jacket that North wore often. It was what his brother would have wanted and England knew how much those two jackets meant to him. North's twin battle axes were given to both Spain and Denmark respectively which was an honour for them. Those twin battle axes told some stories and they shocked when they learned that he was planning on handing them over.

North planned to do a lot of things and he had planned to give his twin battle axes away before his death. It seemed that he had figured out that something was going to happen so he had made a list of everything he wanted to do. Portugal had managed to pack up most of North's things and he did admit that it was difficult to do since everything had memories. England had thanked him for the help but that wasn't the difficult part. The photo frames still hung on the walls which made things difficult but no one wanted to take them just yet. They were needed for the grieving process but one thing was clear.

Northern England won't be forgotten.
