America managed to pull himself together and asked "Who?"

The butler replied. "It's Mr..."

England's POV

It had been a rather decent flight to the United States. I was so consumed by my thoughts, it felt as if I had made the journey in just a few minutes rather than hours.

I had come to the States to figure out what was wrong the Alfred. He had been acting quite strange lately. It's not like I particularly care about him or anything, it's just...Oh fine, I do care about the boy.

He's just been acting so strange lately! He's been quite distant for a few months now. Ever since July, at the World Meetings, he wouldn't talk as much and he agreed with everything I said. However, I wasn't too concerned then. The real concern started after the last meeting where we had our spat. We fight all the time, but he's never cried about it, and he usually forgets about it the next day and calls me to see if I want to 'hang out'.

I waited and waited and no phone call came. I tried calling him, but he wouldn't answer. So I hopped on the next flight to the U.S. His boss had said he was at his house in Virginia. I didn't know he kept a house in Virginia. I looked at the address again and it seemed vaguely familiar. As I drove up his driveway I saw why.

It was the same house I built for us when he was a just a colony, but with new additions. I noticed his car was there so at least he's home. I walked up to the door trying to suppress my memories. I knocked and to my surprise, a butler came to answer.

"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Jones, please." The man looked a bit surprised at seeing me and then his expression turned sad. Had something happened to Alfred?

"Certainly Mr. Kirkland, I presume?" I nodded at the question of my identity. "Please come in and I will fetch Mr. Jones for you.

He stood aside to let me in and told a maid to take me to the parlour. As he left to go up the stairs.

I pushed all my proper ways aside and followed the butler instead. I came her to check on Alfred and I was going to see him now. As I kept following the butler, I noticed we came to an older part of the house. The flood of memories came on me at once as I noticed the door to my room left open, I stopped to look inside and noticed it was in the same state that I had left it. Tearing myself away from my room, the next room I peared into was Alfred's room. It was the same as it had been the last I saw it. I couldn't stop the tear that fell when I noticed the stuffed rabbit on his bed. I had made that for him when I had first found him.

FLASHBACK

"Alfred don't cry." I said to the crying child as I held him in my arms. "I'll only be gone a short while. Just for a month or two, I promise. I'll be home again come Christmas, okay?" I assured him.

"B-but what if something happens? W-w-what if I g-get scared?" Alfred cried.

"I made you something just in case you do get scared." I told him as I sat him down. I sat down in front of him and wiped away his tears. Then I pulled a stuffed rabbit out and handed it to him.

"It's a stuffed bunny, just for you, Alfred. If you ever get scared, then just hug the rabbit and he'll make you feel better!"

Alfred looked up at me and stopped crying. "Weally?"

"Yes, really." I assured.

"Thank you big bwother Engwand!" He smiled. I continued to hold him the rest of that night.

FLASHBACK END

As I continued walking I came closer to where I presume Alfred is.

"Sir, someone is here to see you."

I heard some sniffling and then. "Who?"

Alfred? He sounds like he's been crying. I ran closer to the door and as I reached the door.

"It's Mr..."

"Alfred!" I said as I went over to him to see if he was well.

"Arthur? W-what are you doing here?" He asked in a shaky voice.

"I came to see if you're a-a-a- ACHOO!" I sneezed. "Why is this room all dusty?" I asked as I started to look around.

As I looked around I noticed we were in a storage room. A storage room full of a painful past. I noticed the soldiers I made Alfred, I noticed the suit, but what stood out the most, was the very musket that broke our brotherhood and destroyed the one thing I loved the most.

Sorry for the wait! The next few chapters will be about England and America's brotherly relationship, but then the America and China stuff will come in. I probably shouldn't have included England cause I am a huge UkUs fangirl, but I really wanted to have Us x China. This fic will remain as Us x China. So don;t worry. Please review! It makes me happy! Bye~
