"I wonder what's inside that casket…"

Tony pointed at the lock.

"Oh. Then I guess we can't open it."

Simplemindedly, Kumajirou and Tony left chasing more butterflies leaving the casket where it was.

Canada and America went outside as well to get some fresh air once they finished cleaning up the kitchen. Canada was mostly worried that Kumajirou had gotten lost along with Tony and wanted to look for them, just to make sure they were near by. However, America managed to convince Canada that they were near by and since Tony was with Kumajirou, they most likely wouldn't get lost.

All though, after a few hours passed and there were no signs of the anywhere, America started to worry to his turn. The two brothers decided it would be more efficient to split up. Canada started looking by looking inside the house to make sure they hadn't returned without them noticing while, America, went on ahead and began looking in the small woodland just behind his house. He knew that the two creatures loved to play near the creak and chase butterflies there, so it was a good place to start.

America called out their names as he pushed small branches from his path. He reached the creak but there were no signs of Kumajirou and Tony. America sighed and followed the creak down stream, calling their names again when he suddenly tripped on something. Luckily, America was able to maintain his balance and not land flat on his face. Slightly annoyed, the American looked back at what tripped his and his eyes widened as his eyes laid themselves upon the wooden casket.

The blonde boy looked around the woods carefully before crouching down near the box. His nose wrinkled at the foul sent emitting from the chest.

"This thing smells horrible!" America hissed as he carefully raised the casket. But…if there's actually a heart in there… "I…wonder if I can hear it…"

America stayed perfectly still as he closed his eyes for the longest of moments. He hadn't heard a thump or anything but he had felt some sort of faint movement coming from the coffer. Slowly and hesitantly, America pressed his ear on the casket and listened quietly. He almost shrieked when he heard faint heart beats that he knew weren't his but stopped himself.

"If Mattie found this…" if anyone else found this… America said to himself, "he would give it back…" they would destroy it…

"Hey Al!" Canada called from the house, but this didn't stop America from jolting violently, almost dropping the precious casket. "Kumajirou and Tony are inside! We just didn't see them come in!"

"O-okay…" America answered. I need to keep this a secret from Mattie…

America stood, the casket in his hands, as he contemplated on how he would get pass his brother and to his room without the casket being seen. The American thought over of some spy movies, he recalled how some spies, most spies, entered from the window. America smirked to himself and started circling his house, thinking of the best window he could use. He decided on the window of his main living room, where England always insisted having tea, since it was already open.

He heaved the casket in carefully, making sure not to make too much sound and then pulled himself in carefully. Once inside, he looked around and listened for where his brother could be, which was in the kitchen. The kitchen was directly connected to the main living room, there was no door to block off the access and so, America would have to rely on stealth and good timing to cross the room successfully and make it to the stairs.

Out of luck, Canada made his way back to the back yard door to call America back inside without knowing that, said American, was already inside. He quickly tiptoed to the stairs and climbed them slowly, careful to give each step equal weight to avoid the stairs creaking. His efforts were in vain at the last step, it creaked loudly and Canada had heard.

"Al?" He called walking towards the stairs.

America cursed and quickly dashed to his room. He looked around frantically for a place to hide the casket and resolved to simply putting it in his closet under a pile of clothes he didn't know were dirty or clean. America then quickly opened the door to find his brother when he was hit on the head with a heavy frying pan. America yelled and covered the fresh bump on his head.

"What the hell was that for!"

"I-I thought you were some kind of thief…" Canada defended apologizing for striking his brother. "You know I hate it when you practice your 'sneakiness' to use on England!"

"What so it's my fault!" America cried.

"You said it, not me." Canada concluded yet again and walked away.

America puffed his cheeks angrily and followed his brother back to the main floor. "You're going to check my head right?" he asked.

Canada chuckled. "Sure."

Later that day, after Canada had checked America's head and made sure it was too badly damaged, he left with Kumajirou. The two brothers made plans to hang out after the next world meeting back at America's house. America patted Tony's head as the other wept his friend's departure.

"Don't cry Tony," America comforted. "The next world meeting is the day after tomorrow."

America took Tony's hand and led him back into the house. America played with Tony the whole day, just to comfort him and make the wait shorter but what he wanted more then anything was to get back to the casket in his room.

America put Tony to sleep and carefully closed the door of his room before quickly retreating to his. He slammed the door shut and quickly dove into the pile of clothing to retrieve the casket. He looked over the design carefully and trailed them with his fingers. The patterns carved in were old and faded do to erosion, American couldn't help but wonder how old this chest really was and when was it that Russia had thrown his heart away.

The American laid on his back, pressing the casket against his chest as he thought. "First thing's first…let's be a realist." America said to himself aloud. "If I were to destroy the heart, I would automatically own Russia's lands and people…but Russians absolutely hate me so would rebel for their independence, not to mention that they would receive help from Belarus and Ukraine…When they'd regain their independence Russia would come back to life to kick my ass…"

America shivered as he thought of the disastrous results. He remembered what carnage came from the pure rage of Russians. From time to time, America would wonder what would have happened to Berlin if he and the allies hadn't arrived when they did…

"Focus, Alfred, focus!" America reminded himself as he tried to block out the images of a burning Berlin out of his head. "So…I can threaten Russia's life with the heart…and make him do whatever I want…I get a powerful ally totally under my control and the world is as good as mine."

America laughed cheerfully and sat up. He turned the casket over to open it when he noticed the lock. It was slightly rusted, which was rather surprising, but impossible to open by simply tugging on it. Suddenly, a fragment of America's dream surfaced in his mind.

From his pocket, he took out a plastic heart and opened in putting the key inside.

"The only way to destroy a man is through love…" Russia mumbled to himself as he closed the plastic heart and placed it in the hole in his chest. "Without a heart a man can't love…and can't be destroyed…"

"Fuck!" America yelled hitting his head against the casket. "I totally forgot about the key! And it's in Russia's fake heart! How the hell am I going to get it now?"

*insert Russia troll face here*
