A/N: OHKAAAY! I am back! 12 days at grandma and grandpa's! Sorry i haven't updated for ages, but my word fucks me over, if i open a new document the entire fucktard i call a pc freezes, luckily i had already started this chapter, and i can apparently enter documents that's already saved, so thank goodness for that! As usual i'd like to dedicate this chapter to Hell's clown. BUT! I'd also like to dedicate this chapter to TheLastOfUs, for being generally awesome! Enjoy the second chapter, and i feel like a douche for writing this... Oh and i edited one word because an Anon was kind enough to point out a mistake, eternally grateful!
Allistor raised an eyebrow "I could ask ya the same question… But just for politeness' sake, I'm Scotland or Allistor Kirkland… I'm Artie's older brother… And yer?" America was still in shock, England had an older brother? How come he had never said anything before? "I said, who are ya!" America straightened his back "I-I'm America… Or Alfred F. Jones… Artie's former younger brother…" Allistor didn't seem to amused about the last part "Aye… So you're the one who left him…" Allistor's words hit him like a punch to the stomach. It was true, ever since then, England seemed distant. He rarely smiled, and when he did, it was fake. America looked shamefully down at the floor "I know… But I wanted to prove that I could be strong on my own!" Allistor raised his brow again "I know that… And you did what ya think was right… But that doesn't mean I dun blame ya… He was a bloody fuckin mess until just a few months ago…" he stroked England's hair as he said this, England mumbled something in his sleep, snuggling closer to his older brother, America could feel a slight pain shoot through his chest, What was that? "Good morning… Oh, and who might you be?" The both of them turned to the door, Alice was standing there, just as tidy-looking as she was yesterday, Allistor immideately understood who this person was "G'mornin, Alice?" he tried, since she pretty much was his younger sister now. Alice looked confused "Good morning-?" she waved her hand in a circular motion, telling him to go on "Oh, right… I'm Allistor Kirkland, or Scotland… I'm Artie's older brother… Yer Alice I presume?" he raised a brow, she nodded "Yes that is correct Allistor…", Allistor only nodded, mostly in confusion "Aye…". England stirred a little, mumbling in his sleep. Allistor smiled and ruffled his baby brother's hair, Alice walked over looking down at her male counterpart, she let a finger trace Arthur's tearstained face, her expression turned to that of irritation, making Allistor a bit uneasy "So you were scared afterall… You bloody Git, you should have told me…" Her voice made him open his eyes "Who are you calling a git…" he said half asleep.
"You… I am calling you a git, because you are one…" the typical british sarcasm was obvious in her voice, England chuckled "Well then you are a git too my lady…" Alice snorted in response, but Allistor chuckled "That aint a way to treat a lady…" he patted his brother's hair playfully, who smiled in response. "I-iggy? Isn't there a world meeting today?" America said weakly interrupting their cosy moment, at those words England practically jumped out of the couch "OH GOD! I bloody forgot! I look like a mess!" he screeched as he ran for the bathroom, where he took a quick shower before rushing into his room and finding his usual Green military suit. When he was finished and went down, he figured he looked presentable enough "Scot, are you going to attend the meeting today?" Allistor shook his head "Nay, Ashling became sick a few days ago, gotta watch over 'er…" Arthur nodded in agreement "I will visit later… Alice are you attending?" she nodded "Might as well try, since I am you…" England nodded and rushed out of the door "Thank you Allistor… For being there I mean…" you could faintly see a small blush on his face as he rushed out of the door with Alice and Alfred "No problem! Call me anytime!" Allistor called back, a smile on his face.
Everyone stared wide eyed at Alice as she entered the room, England sent France death glares every now and then, and America had to explain the situation. When America was finished, he silenced himself and studied everyone, of course he had left the horror movie part out, and why Allistor had been at their house, which England was eternally grateful for. Everyone was silenced until the bad touch trio all burst out laughing, followed by Denmark and Russia(More menacing and mocking than the others though). England glared at them all, putting extra hate with Russia. "R-really? And you call yourself a magician! Startled by Amerique? How can you not hear him come ma Cherie?" America was about to protest when Alice said "Oh shush you! If he didn't scare my counterpart, I wouldn't be here now would i?" Everyone was silenced by that, and some even nodded in approvement, probably not to hurt her feelings "She's an improvement if you ask me… Kesesesesese" Prussia whispered to France and Spain, who snickered like highschool girls talking about their crushes. England ignored the comment, but it stung, especially when nobody said anything against it, not even Alice.
England practically pushed Alice down into the chair as Germany signaled that the meeting was starting, like a real gentleman and went to fetch his own. When he found one he went back to the table and placed himself next to Alice, America on the other side. During the entire meeting England remained silent, Alice sometimes commenting on what happened, some of her ideas were truly excellent, if he dared to say so.
After the meeting Arthur headed home, leaving America and Alice behind, they could get home by themselves. England sighed, spotting his favorite café in the distance, he decided to stop for a bite there. He parked his car and walked in, greeted by the lady behind the counter, she smiled at him. Since he was a regular there, the lady behind the counter knew what he wanted, and so she fetched a piece of cake and some Earl gray with just enough milk in it. England sat down in his usual chair, enjoying the small meal.
That is, until a certain obnoxious American burst in, startling England, he looked furious, Alice followed closely behind "Iggy how could you leave us behind like that!?" he whined. England sighed, putting his tea down "America, you are perfectly capable of getting home yourself, and besides I know how much you hate English food so I wouldn't want to bring you here, where they sell british food." He said it like America was some stupid child, which annoyed the American "I do too! Or, some of it…" he admitted, sitting down across from England, signaling for Alice to do the same, which she did. England sighed loudly, before poking in his cheesecake with the spoon. The lady behind the counter, ah! How rude, she's called Lily, walked over, a smile on her pale pretty face "What would you like to order-" her gaze fell upon Alice, England could tell she was going to ask "My twin sister" he stated, she nodded, a faint smile on her lips, she took America and Alice's orders, Alice ordered the same cheesecake as England did and some Darjeeling tea. England finished his cake and tea, and glanced over at Alice, who was staring at him. When she noticed that he was looking back she immediately avoided his stare, but the moment their eyes met, England could swear he saw something in Alice's eyes, it looked like hate of some sort, but that couldn't be true, could it?
England finally managed to rid himself of the obnoxious American as he and Alice got into England's car, the car ride home was silent, and it made England feel uneasy. But finally they reached home, and the minute they walked in, Alice looked like she remembered something, she looked up at England, an innocent smile on her face she said "Oh, I forgot something, mind if I head out and retrieve it?", England nodded, and Alice headed off. Suddenly tiredness overcame him, he sat down on the couch and closed his eyes, "I'll just rest for a second…" he mumbeled, as he silently fell asleep.
He woke when he felt something tug on his bangs, a tired eye slowly opened, only to spot a little pink fairy buzzing in front of him "Ah Minelle, what is the matter?" The fairy flailed her tiny arms, her pink fluffy dress flowing freely and her light-pink hair set up in a cute sideponytail, the ends were slightly curled, and her little black shoes seemed to be polished recently. Her face was worried, as she buzzed around England, making him slightly dizzy trying to follow the small fairy with his emerald eyes. "Are you okay? You took so long to wake…" Minelle's voice echoed in his head, England rubbed his eyes tiredly "Yes, I am quite alright, just tired…" He smiled at Minelle, mentally thanking her for worrying over him, he pat her little head with one finger, carefully. She smiled weakly, but then gasped "Arthur! Your magic is almost depleted! Have you been overworking yourself again!?" England chuckled, she acted like a mother even though England was bigger than her "I'm fine, don't worry, if I rest a bit my magic should return soon, ok?" Minelle didn't seem to be convinced "But Arthur! You have been sleeping for almost a day and your magic is continuing to drain!" England looked at Minelle "Thank you for worrying but I am very much fine…" England said stubbornly, sighing. "I am sorry, but I am just so tired… But I have things I need to do, I have to visit my sister Ashling…" He said as he slowly got up from the couch, Minelle groaned "At least let me accompany you?" she pleaded, England nodded, "Sure, thank you Minelle, for taking care of me" he smiled tiredly, kissed his finger and placed it on her cheek. She giggled as a small blush painted her small cheeks pink.
They drove for a while, until they reached England's childhoos home, Minelle was placed securely on England's shoulder, humming softly against his ear in the otherwise silent car. England parked outside the small hut, he walked up to the porch and knocked before going in. The sight before him shocked him quite a bit as he walked into the living room, Ashling, Oliver, Allistor and Carson laughing happily,( except for the small coughing fits from Ashling) with none other than Alice, how did she know where they lived? No one seemed to notice that England was there, "Haha! Seriously? He did that? Pathetic!" Carson laughed, "Yah Artie can be a little airheaded sometimes" Allistor added. England felt his tears start to surface, Alice glanced over at him, she knew he was standing there, and she smiled cruelly at him. England turned on his heel and practically ran out the door.
