Ha-ha. Alright. Time to begin the more intense stuff. And possible fluff. I don't know right now what will be in this chapter except an outline. Ha-ha. I haven't told England of this story yet, but his reaction is going to be like "Hong Kong...stop hanging around Japan, he's a bad influence on you." xD Right, Gege? You're a bad influence and I love ya anyway. UKxHK fic please~
Summary: He had been alright with the fact that he had been a replacement for America, but he sometimes had wished Arthur saw him as something other then a colony. That was Hong Kong's only wish as he returned back to China. UK+HK, on and off USxUK
Disclaimer: I do not own Axis Powers Hetalia.
Dedicated to England and big brother Japan and big brother China and America. Gege, look another cute story of Hong Kong and UK to read. Maybe now you'll write a UK and HK fic for you lovable little brother?

He was curled up in a small ball. He was afraid of the horrible storm that pounded outside the house, making the building shake. He was curled up in his sheet, it was a security blanket that he wasn't willing to let go of at the moment.
Arthur couldn't exactly sleep. He believed it to be the storm, most likely the rain. He kept thinking of his final battle with America and it was making him particularly sad. With a sigh, England got up and headed out of his room. He only got a couple steps before stopping.
"Hong Kong?" Arthur knelt beside the nine-year-old. The boy looked blankly at Arthur. England was getting used to the look, it was of indifference. No, it was a mask. "What's wrong?" The Brit's voice was soft and gentle. Hong Kong didn't speak a word, another thing England was trying to get used to. The small island used to speak a lot and now he barely spoke. The nation felt like the colony was putting distance between them. He figured it a phase, since America tended to have done the same thing. A wave of worry flooded England as he thought Hong Kong may think of revolting years down the road. But a loud crackle of lightning shattered those thoughts as he suddenly had Hong Kong clinging to him. The blanket had been lost to the floor. "Are you afraid of the storm? There's nothing to worry about." Arthur sighed. Neither of them would get to sleep at this rate. "Come on, let's go to bed." England helped the small boy up and into the room. Hong Kong was hesitant on releasing England, but did. The elder male crawled into the bed and tugged the blankets up. "Try to sleep. I'm right here if you need me." England brushed strands from his face as let his head hit his pillow. The first instinct he had was to roll onto his side to face the window, but a certain child kept him from doing so. Arthur draped an arm over the small boy, who was curled up against his side, fingers clutching the other's shirt. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"I know." Hong Kong mumbled. He knew Arthur would protect him to the best of his ability. If it was called for, he could protect England. He was small and inexperienced with just about everything, but he would surely protect the elder male.
Arthur couldn't help but smile at the words. The other knew his feelings that he tried to convey. It meant that few words needed to be said to have an understanding. He gently stroked the child's head. He was growing up so quickly. It'd been almost six years already since the boy came into his home. He grew slowly physically, but Arthur knew the boy was very mature for his age. It was the subtle hints at him still being a child that made him adorable. Like when they would cook and Hong Kong would question everything and Elizabeth would wander by and make a comment before leaving. He loved those times with the boy who was currently clinging to him. He hoped they could live peacefully together forever.
Hong Kong was curled up on the bed. He hated boats. He hated traveling by anything but carriage. The only thing that made all of this worth it was that the bed smelt of Arthur. The elder male's scent was calming and gentle. It was like a lullaby that put his senses to rest and allowed him to actually relax.
-
"Hong Kong?" England entered the room and stared at the eighteen-year-old, who currently couldn't act his age. "We'll be in Beijing within a couple hours." England sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out a hand to brush strands from the sick boy's face.
"Are you feeling better finally, England?" Arthur blinked before smiling.
"Yes. That small war with China was nothing. France was with me. All wounds are completely healed."
"Good." Hong Kong closed his eyes.
"You should try and rest." Arthur yawned. He was worried about the younger boy so spent more time awake then asleep.
"Only if you do, too." Arthur got up. Hong Kong first thought he did something wrong.
"Alright." England changed into night clothes. Although it was roughly eight in the morning in Beijing, it was midnight back in London.
Hong Kong welcomed the elder male into the bed, curling up a little against him. England gently stroked the younger's head, knowing that sleeping was better for the smaller island then being awake since he was prone to being sick.
"Sir, we've arrived in Port Arthur and will arrive at Tianjin within the...hour..." The soldier stood in the doorway, just staring. "Er..."
"Right, right. I'll be up to deck soon." Arthur yawned, sitting up. The soldier left without a second thought. England wondered why the soldier didn't even knock. "Hey, Hong Kong." England lightly shook the younger male. "Hey, we'll be at port shortly."
"Really?" Hong Kong tried to go back to sleep.
"Yes. I know your body believes it to be five in the morning, but you need to get up." The small island groaned and tugged the pillow over his head. "If you don't get up, I'm afraid I'll have to punish you."
"As if being on a boat is a good thing?" England then remembered that being on a boat was like punishment for the colony. Hong Kong sighed and removed the pillow from his face to get proper amount of air. England leaned over and brushed strands from the younger male's face. Dark hues met light hues.
"Hey, no going back to sleep." England was tired himself but wouldn't show it, at least not yet. Silence set in between the two before Arthur leaned down and kissed the younger male on the lips, slowly and gently. It was different then it had been with America, this seemed right.
Hong Kong had been taken by surprise by the action, but didn't reject it. It took a second for his mind to click that this was happening and then he responded back to the kiss. He wasn't exactly ready for England to pull away, but after a minute the European did.
"I'm sorry." England apologized. He felt a little guilty for his action. He moved back a little. He was going to get up and change to go on deck, but Hong Kong had shot up and had a grip on his arm.
"Why?" Arthur blinked at the colony, who had lightly pink tinted cheeks. "Why did you stop?" The larger island went wide eyed, staring at the youth before him. He decided that going on deck could wait a little longer and settled on spending more time with the younger male.
-
China was a little impatient while waiting for England to arrive in Beijing. He already had enough trouble with France, and his younger brother Japan was becoming trouble. Not to mention he was also facing issues with Russia.
"Hyung-nim~"
"Not you, aru." China sighed as Korea just about tackled him.
"Everyone decided on a visit. Isn't that good?" The eldest nation then noticed Japan and their sister Taiwan. "We tried to get Vietnam and Thailand to come, but it's so hard to reach them."
"Ah, it's fine, aru." A carriage came into sight.
"Are you expecting others, Nii-san?" Japan decided to act like there were no issues going on between him and the elder nation.
"I have a meeting with England."
"Ah." The carriage stopped and the driver got off the front, walking to the side and opening the door. England stepped out, giving a small bow to China before turning around and helping Hong Kong out. The male wasn't sure exactly why he had been brought along. Usually Arthur went off on these things alone. He was used to spending those times with Elizabeth and learning to cook and not make 'poisonous food' as Elizabeth put it.
"Hong Kong, aru!" China bound to the youngest Asian in the family, capturing him in a hug. The small island was a little startled.
"Wh-wh-what?" Hong Kong pushed the elder male away, moving a little towards England. "Is he potty?" England chuckled.
"I think he took one too many blows to the head." China looked a little hurt. "Anyway, looks like your whole family is united." England looked over them. He was most familiar with Japan then the others.
"Codswallop, stop telling porkies. I want to go home." Hong Kong crossed his arms and stared at England. China took to shaking England.
"What did you do to my adorable Hong Kong, aru?" England freed himself.
"China, learn to behave yourself." Japan warned and China sighed.
"I'm here to negotiate, as was agreed. Unless, of course, you wish to continue the war." England adjusted his tie.
"Then let's go, aru." England motioned to settle within the building. Arthur looked to Hong Kong.
"Play nice with your siblings. We'll be on our way home soon enough."
"Whatever." Hong Kong crossed his arms and watched the two disappear into the building. He then turned to the ones he supposed were his siblings.
"Hong Kong, I remember you when you were really little." Japan smiled at the younger male. "Ah, you must not remember me. I'm Japan. He is Korea and she is Taiwan. We're your older siblings." Hong Kong nodded.
"Char-" The boy couldn't continue for being tackled by the Korean male.
"He's adorable. Why do we not see him often if he's our little brother?" Hong Kong attempted at pushing the elder male away but the boy just stuck like glue.
"I live with England." The small island huffed, giving up.
"Oh." Awkward silence set in.
"Does he treat you well, little brother?" Taiwan spoke up.
"Yes." He wasn't good with this sibling thing. He saw America and Canada as his siblings. This thinking reminded him that they would be visiting Alfred on their way back to the United Kingdom.
"What is it like? Living with England in another place, I mean." Taiwan tried to keep the youngest male talking.
"It's life." The boy replied.
"Is it like living here?" Hong Kong blinked.
"I wouldn't know." He couldn't really recall living in China.
"Do you remember anything about living in China from when you were little?" The group had taken up walking. Hong Kong paused as he recalled something.
"China was upset that morning...The morning England came... I don't remember what he said, can't recall the words. It's a foreign language to me now, Chinese that is." The others were watching the youngest one. "But England was trying to console me a lot. I just remember the feeling of not wanting to go." Hong Kong stared blankly at the ground. "He wouldn't let me leave his side. He just held onto me and held me. And we left here. I slept most of the ride, the first part I just cried to England like the child I was." Hong Kong focused on his siblings. "That's all I remember."
"If you were given the choice to return right now, would you?" Korea asked, just because he was curious.
"Of course not." The British colony crossed his arms. "I'm perfectly content as is." The three siblings nodded as they headed back to the entrance to sit and talk.
"What do you do for fun, Hong Kong?" Japan asked, although he did know a little bit about European sports, but not much.
"There's football, but I don't really do much of that. I really just read. I play some games with Elizabeth, she's good with a deck of card. She could clear your pockets in a couple rounds of any game. Elizabeth is our maid." The siblings nodded. "I also like to explore. England was a little hesitant letting me go out by myself for the first time, but he worries less if James is the one escorting me places. James is our butler."
"Is he some loaded person?" Korea stared. "Like a prince or something?" Hong Kong hid his amusement.
"Not at all. He's just your average person."
"Sure as hell doesn't seem like it." Korea crossed his arms.
"Sometimes America or Canada comes to visit. England throws a fit if France does. He's not really welcome and I don't pay much mind to that. England throws a fit sometimes when America visits. Whether it's America, Canada, or France I'm easy." Hong Kong shrugged.
"It seems like you have a nice life." Japan observed.
"I do." At that, England and China emerged from the building.
"And he should be in traditional clothing, aru. Not your western clothing, aru. He's Chinese, aru." Arthur was getting a headache from China's nonstop lecturing since they signed the papers that would lease the Kowloon Peninsula to the United Kingdom.
"Sir, are we finally leaving?" Hong Kong got right to his feet.
"Yes. But I still don't understand why you would even want to visit that twit America. He's a horrible influence." England sighed.
"Family is family, England." Arthur sighed and turned around to face the Asian nations.
"We'll be going then. Take care."
"Take good care of Hong Kong, aru." China called.
"Of course."
"Goodbye." Hong Kong gave a small bow before following Arthur back into the carriage.

If it weren't for Alfred standing at port, Arthur doubted a British ship would be allowed into port. England helped Hong Kong down off the boat. They had hit a storm on their way East and it shook the small island quite a bit.
"Is he alright?" America asked.
"He gets seasick. A storm didn't help one bit, but the seas tend to be unpredictable." Arthur looked around. Everything had changed over the years, they changed greatly.
"Well, that aside. Come, come. Will you staying a bit? I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to just up and run right now." Alfred led them away from the docks. The area was so nice and free that walking around wasn't any trouble at all.
"Why would we run?" England asked.
"Well, there's a lot of fighting. We've gained more states and many are moving west but we're having issues on slavery. I'm completely against it but southern states are for it. I fear we'll end up at war over the issue." Alfred sighed.
"What's slavery?" Arthur had never taught Hong Kong the dark history of slavery.
"It's where people are sold to work for others." Alfred replied.
"Like maids and butlers?" The colony looked to England, who shook his head.
"They're often beat and abused. Families are torn apart. The people are put into hard tasks. Some may become maids and butlers, but others get sent to work in fields or the likes." Arthur sighed. The response satisfied the youngest male of the group.
"How did you do it, England? How were you able to get rid of it like you were simply blinking?"
"Pft. As if it had only been that easy." England would've continued but noticed the deadweight he suddenly was supporting. "Hong Kong?" He checked to make sure the younger male was breathing before picking him up to carry him.
"We can take him to my house." Arthur silently followed Alfred to the home. It was quite cozy. It was large for one person, but England doubted America lived alone. They found a bedroom and set Hong Kong in it. "I'll go fetch the doctor." Alfred left the two alone.
The doctor simply announced it to be fatigue and the young male needed to just rest. The fever the boy had would break easily as long as he rested. Arthur and Alfred both saw the doctor out.
"I had hoped to make this a short visit, but I suppose we'll be imposing upon you for a few days."
"Ha-ha, it's not a problem. I'll be in and out. We're holding elections soon, so we're preparing for that, too. Besides, my home is your home. We're family." Alfred then headed off to make some coffee, but paused after a couple steps. "Do you drink coffee? Or I could probably find some tea." Arthur sighed.
"I'll drink your coffee." He wouldn't be fussy at all at the moment. The younger nation was a little surprised at the reply but went off anyway.
-
"You should see him, he drinks coffee. Who knew?" Alfred was sitting with Hong Kong, the youth drinking a cup of tea. The elder of the two was drinking a cup of coffee.
"Where is he now?" Hong Kong stared at the liquid in his cup.
"In town. I sent him on some errands. He made a face before agreeing." Hong Kong nodded. "Felt like spending a little time with my little brother."
"Little brother?" Hong Kong blinked and stared at America.
"Yup. That's what we're like. We're both connected by having been adopted by England, although I'm independent now." Hong Kong looked back at his tea.
"Did you ever go on dates with England?" America blinked.
"Quite a few."
"Did you ever kiss him?"
"Eh?" Hong Kong had America's full attention.
"Did you ever kiss England?" A light tint came to America's cheeks.
"Yes." The elder of the two cleared his throat. "Where did this come from?"
"Did you two ever...snog?" Hong Kong felt his hands tighten around the cup in his grip.
"Eh?" America's face became redder. "Why're you asking all of this?"
"Did you?" There was a minute of silence before America responded.
"Yes."
"Did you ever...you know..." Hong Kong couldn't get the word to leave his lips. "Erm...bonk...him?" If England had been here, he could imagine the elder male blowing up at his language. But the reaction of Alfred was priceless. It was as if in slow motion. The cup of coffee just slid from the male's finger tips. The liquid spilling all over the wooden floor. Alfred's entire focus was on the small island colony.
"Did you just ask if we ever been in bed together?" Hong Kong blinked. He's been in bed with Arthur before, slept in the same bed as him.
"Bonk. Did you ever bonk him?" Hong Kong felt himself become a little embarrassed.
"Shit. Been a while since I even spoke that version of English." Alfred mulled it over. "Oh." The nation's face was bright red. "No!" The chair toppled over as he got to his feet. "I've never done it with him. It's not like I haven't thought about it, but that was years and years ago. Who would want to do it with a bastard like him? Shit, I spilt my coffee." It suddenly dawned on the American about his drink. He rushed from the room to get a towel and clean up the mess. "You aren't thinking of bonking him are you?" Alfred stood with the wet towel, facing the smaller boy.
"No. I was just curious as to what level of relationship you had with England." America nodded and left the room. The two wouldn't talk about the conversation or talk on that level again.
-
"Take care." Alfred smiled as he saw Arthur and Hong Kong off. The youth was completely better after the three day stay. "Don't get into too much trouble, Hong Kong." Alfred chuckled.
"I won't." The youth replied.
"I hope everything sorts itself out." England sighed, actually being compassionate.
"Thanks. I'm sure it will." The larger island then led the smaller one onto the boat to head back home.
