"I said, what are you doing here?" Alfred repeated with a tinge of anger in his voice.

Indiana barked madly at the man, growling and showing her teeth trying to scare him off. Alfred stood there with a small smile on his lips waiting for the man to reply to his question.

"Will you call off that bloody dog Alfred, you know she hates me!" Arthur finally said, stepping back as Indiana moved forward.

"Well there is a reason she hates you Arthur. Now I'll ask one more time… What are you doing here? Its 3am, you could do this when we were dating but this is not appropriate!" Alfred yelled at Arthur angrily.

"Look, I just want to talk to you, so could you please call her off?"

Alfred growled angrily and whistled causing Indiana to sit down, her tail wagging, looking up at Alfred, he stroked her head glaring at Arthur as he walked forward.

"Look, Alfred. No hard feelings, ok? This is just something that needs to be done." Arthur said looking at Alfred with a slight sad look in his eyes.

Alfred looked at the other man confused and tilted his head "A…Arthur what are you on about?"

Alfred took a step towards him, walking out of his apartment into the hallway. Suddenly Alfred was tackled back into his apartment, his eyes still fixed on Arthur as he grew further away as the body of the Russian landed on top of him, clenching his throat and cutting off his supply of air.

Alfred's body flailed trying to move himself under the heavy Russian. His lungs began to ache as he tried to pull Ivan's hands away from his neck. Alfred closed his eyes, his head getting light, the only sound he could hear were his heart beating fast and then the barking of Indiana.

Alfred opened his eyes quickly as Ivan's hands finally moved from his neck fending off the large dog, Alfred quickly moved as Indiana bit into Ivan's arm hard. Ivan just sat there looking at the dog before grabbing it and throwing her into the bookcase.

"Indiana!" Alfred yelled

"Don't be sad Alfred, you will be just like her soon. You want to know why?" Ivan said as he grabbed Alfred's shirt, pushing him down against the ground and moving back on top of him, beginning to choke him again. Alfred wasn't prepared for the second choking and gasped for air that he couldn't get.

"It's because you get in my way, If you hadn't gotten involved with my Yao then I could of kept screwing him whenever I wanted and he wouldn't of said boo about it! But now, you have to die ~Da?"

Alfred's vision became blurred as he saw a figure standing behind Ivan. Alfred smiled softly as he passed out, going limp under the Russians body. Ivan tilted his head curiously about the smile on his lips, that's when he sensed the presence of the man behind them.

Ivan turned to see the large German standing there, pointing a gun right at his head.

"Nein, the only one going to die today is you, you communist bastard." Ludwig said as he tightened his grip around the trigger of the gun.

A soft hand gently touched the German's hand, causing Ludwig to sigh and take his finger off the trigger, looking at the small Italian man who stood next to him.

"Don't kill him, Doitsu~" Feliciano said in a soft voice, gently smiling at him.

Ludwig sighed and suddenly hit Ivan in the head with the hilt of the gun, knocking him out. He looked at Feliciano who frowned at him.

"What? I didn't kill him!" Ludwig said, as he pushed Ivan's body off Alfred's.

"Okay, okay. I get it, if you don't hurt someone you get grumpy." Feliciano said with a soft giggle in his voice as he walked quickly over to Indiana.

Alfred opened his eyes weakly as his vision slowly focused on the face of the German who was holding him in a sitting position.

"D…did we just kiss…?" Alfred said in a soft, shaky voice.

"Nein!" Ludwig said, hitting Alfred's head.

Feliciano laughed softly as he walked over carring Indiana in his arms, Alfred looked worringly at Indiana, Indiana barked playfully at Alfred before whimpering in pain.

"The only thing hurt is her leg, she'll be fine." Ludwig said in a soft voice, Alfred knew to trust what he said when it came to dogs, after all, he had like a million.

"Come on. Let's get you to somewhere safe, that's not here" Feliciano said.

"I…I want to go to Yao's place" Alfred said as he stood up, only to fall back into the Germans arms passing out.

Ludwig sighed and picked him up, throwing him over his shoulder and walking to the door with Feliciano. They looked back seeing the unconscious Ivan they had hand cuffed to a heavy pipe was still unconscious and closed the door walking down the hall to Yao's room.

"I wonder why he wanted to go to Yao's? I bet they are sleeping together!" Feliciano said loudly getting muffled by the hand of Ludwig.

"Shh, you'll wake everyone. And I bet you they aren't." Ludwig said as they walked quietly down the hallways of the mansion to Yao's room.

Yao sat on the couch drinking some tea and watching some weird American show that Yong Soo had brought over to make him feel better. Due to Yao sleeping all day he was wide awake, much to his own disliking.
He sighed and curled up listening to the accents of the Americans, they reminded him of Alfred and somehow managed to calm him, he relaxed closing his eyes and just thought of Alfred, relaxing his body and mind more.

His relaxing was rudely interrupted by a loud knock on the front door, causing Yao to jump almost drop his tea. He paused the TV and put his tea down, walking to the door and opening it only to see the smiling face of Feliciano.

"Feliciano? What are you doing here at this time? And what's with the dog?" Yao said a little confused by the visit, and the random dog.

"We brought you a gift, Yao~!" Feliciano smiled as he moved aside revealing Ludwig with the passed out Alfred on his shoulder.

"Ta-da" Ludwig said with a serious look on his face causing Feliciano to frown at him.

"What was that Doitsu? I said be happy when you say it~!"

"Feliciano, baby. It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm carrying a surprisingly heavy American on my shoulder. If you want me to be happy you had better be doing something amazing to me" Ludwig said in a rather monotonous voice.

Feliciano pouted at him and then turned back to Yao who invited them in. Ludwig lay Alfred on the couch and then explained what had happened.
Yao offered them some tea but they declined the offer getting up, Yao walked them to the door and thanked them for everything they had done.

"Oh, it was no problem Yao, Doitsu got to beat someone up, so he will be in a good mood~" Feliciano said smiling happily

"Well, Im glad, aru~" Yao said smiling back

"Oh, Yao. Quick question, are you and Alfred sleeping together?" Feliciano said as they walked off.

Yao blushed and nodded softly, Feliciano smiled and poked Ludwig in the side.

"Fine, fine, you win the bet. You get to be on top next time." Ludwig said smiling gently and wrapping his arm around Feliciano walking off.

Yao smiled at them and closed the door locking it, he walked over and sat on the ground with Indiana and pressed play on the TV as Indiana moved, resting her head on Yao's Lap. Yao didn't really care much for dogs, they were always jumpy and barking, but he seemed to like this one.

Yao rested his head back on the couch and fell asleep just as the sun started to shine throw the window into the room.

Alfred opened his eyes slowly and sat up, looking at his surroundings. The room seemed familiar, but he wasn't sure where he was. Indiana sat at the foot of the bed curled up asleep, he looked at the pictures on the bedside table and finally realised where he was.

"This is Yao's place." Alfred thought as he looked out the window seeing the darkness of night.

He got up and stroked Indiana as he walked out of the bed room and into the kitchen, where he found Yao looking out the kitchen window into the night. Alfred didn't know what to say he, was so nervous. He shyly walked up to Yao and gently wrapped his arms around his waist resting his head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry I was an idiot, Yao…" Alfred whispered softly into Yao's ear.

Yao jumped a little and gently touched Alfred hands with his own, moving back and pressing against his body.

"Shh… your always an idiot, I'm kind of used to it." Yao smiled and giggled gently.

"Are you ok, Yao?" Alfred said as he strokes Yao's waist gently worrying.

"Yes I'm fine, Alfred. What about you? Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. My head just hurts a little.." Alfred said, touching his head gently

Yao turned and smiled at him, gently resting against the bench and touching Alfred's forehead.

"You just need some more sleep. Go back to bed, I'll come in a check on you soon, okay?" Yao said as he ran his fingers through Alfred's hair.

"Well, how about you come to bed with me?" Alfred said with a cheeky smile on his lips.

Just as Yao was about to respond to the suggestion there was a knock at the door. Yao smiled at him and walked past going to the door and opening it. Alfred followed Yao slowly and froze as he entered the room watching as Yao invited Arthur into the apartment.

The blood started to boil in Alfred's body, he clenched his fists in rage as Arthur froze looking right into Alfred's eyes.

"You Bastard!" Alfred yelled

"A..Alfred.."

Indiana ran around the corner, barking madly at Arthur. She stood next to Alfred growling.

"Indiana, kill!" Alfred yelled.
