Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter, again I'll say I really do love reading them.
To answer CartoonCouples101 question in a review this may go into USUKUS in later chapters but nothing but brotherly love is going to happen between England and child America. So NO shota people. That just creeps me out and gives me nightmares.
I hated this chapter. It was annoying to write, the reasons I listed in the AN at the end.
It took a lot of explaining on Canada's part to finally stop Alfred yelling about his younger self running around naked. Well he tried to explain. Alfred was too busy going off on a rant complete with flailing arms and over the top expressions to notice Canada's quite explanations and only stopped when he sat down on the still wet bed sheets.
"Hey Mattie... Why are the sheets wet? Did you spill water or something?" Alfred asked as he stood and poked at them.
France let out a snort of laughter from behind the ice pack he had found and was pressing to his face, "No Alfred, it was not dear Mathieu who had an accident." Alfred looked towards France and a look of horror flashed over his face as he noticed the smirk the Frenchman was throwing at him. His younger self was probably asleep in the bed and Alfred suddenly remembered all the embarrassing nights he had awoken to damp sheets. It would also explain why little him was naked and came running out the bathroom. Then he realised that Matt was probably giving him a bath.
That... was just awkward in so many ways...
"Well... Uh yeah... Okay. I'll just... be outside." Jabbing a thumb at the doorway and blushing furiously Alfred walked as quickly as he could out of the room, passing by England who was smiling oddly at America who was still clinging to his neck and talking really quickly.
"And then, and then they turned on this weird box thing on the wall! It lit up and had people moving in it and it was making weird sounds and talking! It was really scary but the people were trapped inside so I tried to help them get out! But Mr Matthew said I should not have broken the teelee, that's what he said it was called by the way England, and that it was not bad! But how could something that traps people inside a box and make them really small be good?"
England sighed and ran a hand through America's hair and watched as the child smiled and turned his head into the movement looking calmer. He had no idea how a colonial age America got here but the boy must be terrified of all the new technology he had seen already. So far the only normal thing around for him had been seeing England himself so his first instinct was to run to him. No matter how much it hurt to see a child America running around and acting like he was the most important thing in his life, England knew he acted harshly yesterday. America was scared and confused, in a place years before his time, full of so many new things and people he had never met before. He would have to be there for America and hope that the situation sorted itself out soon enough. If not he would have to try finding out how America got here in the first place and try to reverse it.
"America, I need you to listen to me okay? Everything around here is going to look really strange but I assure you that you will not be hurt all right?"
America looked confused and stared at England with wide eyes. "You'll be there if something does happen, right England?"
"Of course I will. I'll... Always be there for you America." England forced himself to keep smiling as he said that, not letting on how much it really hurt to say.
And now for the reasons. I pretty much got what I wanted down for this chapter in less than a page worth of writing and no matter how much I tried to make it longer and add parts it just would not work. So I just went and posted it before I ended up punching my computer screen. Which would not only hurt my hand and frustrate me more, it would also piss off my stepdad who I always have to go to when something on my computer needs fixing/replacing and the last time I did something to the screen he had to get me a new one. Without him I would have lost this whole story too many times to count. The whole family calls him 'Mr Computer Guy' as he fixes everyones computers. Even our friends ones.
Also, I think I was starting to annoy some people when we started talking about our hetalia fics we were writing with my complaints on how this chapter would not write. So thanks to everyone on the forum for putting up with that. Even though you probbaly wont ever read this.
I'm sorry for the really short chapter but hopefully the next one will be much longer than this as I have ideas down for what I want to happen in that chapter.
Thanks to everyone for their congratulations on me passing my course and for the good lucks on my job. My course was in Childcare, Learning and Development to the person who asked.
