CHAPTER 2
America walked out of his house to see the island nation of Japan standing outside will a slight grin upon his face. America was a bit confused to see him there, yet at the same time he was happy to see him. He was glad to be able to talk to Japan.
"Hey bro! Why did you come all the way out here?" America asked, walking out to Japan.
"Hello Alfred. I have some here because I thought we could talk," Japan answered blushing slightly.
America walked right past Japan, "Then let's go on a walk and talk about stuff! That'll be fun!"
"Yes it would be fun," Japan gave a little smile.
America walked passed Japan and walked out onto the sidewalk, "So...what you wanna talk about?"
Japan followed the American, "Well, I do have something I would like to tell you."
"Yeah sure go ahead. I'm listening."
"Well...Hercules proposed."
"Oh my fucking god! Did you say yes? You better have said yes!"
"I said yes, don't worry." America grabbed him and enveloped him in a hug. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Uhh...thanks." The island nation smiled.
America ran ahead and pointed at a bench. "That's where Iggy yelled at me for wanting McDonalds on our fancy date the other night."
Japan slowly walked to where America was, "I would be pretty angry too if I were him."
"It wasn't that big of a deal! I was hungry and I wanted a burger. Is that a crime?"
"Not at all. But you should let Arthur pick where you eat. Ok?"
"Well he did end up choosing. If I remember right we ended up going to some Italian place. It was really expensive!"
"Yes good. Let Arthur do the deciding."
"Fine," America pouted.
"So, Alfred, how long have you been dating Arthur?"
"Oh gosh...a long time...Well we started dating when I told him that I loved him. When was that? Three...four...yeah, four years ago."
"You want to know what I think?"
"What do you think?"
"I...think you should propose."
America stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Japan with surprise. "What?! Me? Propose to Iggy? I don't know if I could..."
Japan stopped and looked at the stunned America with a smile, "Alfred, it has been four years since you two got together. Hasn't the thought ever crossed your mind?"
America started walking forward. "Of course it has, dude! Many times. I just don't want to take our relationship too fast."
Japan started walking next to him, "It has been four years. I think you will be fine proposing to him now. You will have to do it sometime. Now is as good as any."
"What if he says no? I don't think I can handle that kind of rejection."
"I seriously doubt that he will say no. He really loves you. You do that right. I'm sure he's been waiting for you to pop the question."
"You think so?"
"I know so."
"Okay. I'll do it. I'm going to propose! It sounds weird when I say it. But I'm going to do it!" America looked back at Japan and smiled.
"Well I'm glad to hear it. Now, the questions are how, when, and where."
"Well...right now Artie is back at his house for meetings and stuff. he'll be there until...hmm. The end of the week, I think. But he could be there longer. His bosses like to keep him there for a while. " He smiled sadly.
"Now is your chance to get ready. Get prepared."
"I know. I'm gonna have to use my time wisely. I think he gets back Thursday."
"That's in less than a week!"
"Well...yeah I guess it is. I wanna propose right when he gets back, dude!" Japan looked around thoughtfully.
"Ok when is settled now, where? If you are afraid of him saying no you can do it in public. He will be less likely to say no that way. But you really have nothing to worry about."
"HAH! I'm not afraid! If you want me to propose in public I will."
"But I was just saying..."
"No Kiku. If this is how you want it I'll do it."
"Fine. You can do that. Where will it be though?"
"I could just do it right there in the airport." The nations turned a corner and walked towards a small cafe on the right side of the street.
"Wherever you want. But yes, if you want to, that sounds fine."
They walked into the cafe and sat down at a circular table by a window. A waiter came over and asked them what they wanted. After their orders had been taken, America turned back to Japan.
"How the hell am I gonna do this? Am I just gonna walk up to him and like propose?"
"Go pick him up at the airport and wait for him to come. When you see him you will go up to him in the baggage claim area and you know ask the usual how was your trip? While you two are on the way to where his bags are strike up a conversation with him. After you get his bags stop him from walking and say you want to have a chat with him. Start talking about how you two have been together and talk about love and stuff. Then say something like, "I realized that I never again want to spend a day without you. You are my one and only love." Then pull the ring out of your pocket or bag or something. Get down on one knee and say those magical words, "Would you marry me?" Oh that would be amazing," Japan smiled happily, feeling accomplished that he finally got America to propose to England.
"Woah! Kiku, you have this whole thing figured out! What the hell?"
"As you know I shipped you two from the beginning so I had much time to think about this stuff and come up with this all."
"You didn't have to go and think up my proposal!"
"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. You can propose in any way you want."
"No! It's fine I like it," America looked around and leaned closer to Japan, "But if anybody asks I came up with this by myself."
Japan laughed. "Oh of course!"
"Well I really gotta go! I got some shopping to do."
"Go ahead. I'll just head home from here."
"Thanks bro!" America slapped a few bills down on the table to pay for his drink, grabbed his jacket, and ran out the cafe door.
The car door slammed shut. America was sitting in the driver's seat looking nervous. He looked over to the seat next to him. There sitting in the chair was a little black box. After looking at it for a few minutes, he reached over and put the box in the pocket of his worn-down bomber jacket. He took a deep breath and put the car into reverse. He was ready.
