New Year's eve a time for a fresh start. Where you can make a difference or make a new goal to reach. For Arthur it would be a competently new start. Alfred would be having a party that night to do the count down, everyone would drink and have a good time, a perfect opportunity for Arthur to slip away with Alfred noticing him gone. Alfred was always so happy, Arthur didn't want him to worry, so he kept everything he had planned a secret between him and God.
She already had everything ready for him to start his new life in America. He would have a job and everything and even a back story. He smiled as he watched Alfred hand a streamer across the doorway and take down a thing of mistletoe. Alfred hung it above his head and made a kissy face. Arthur rolled his eyes. "You git." He said and kisses him softly and darted into the kitchen. Alfred watched him go before leaving to get other things ready for the party.
Arthur stood with his hands on the counter top. His mind was swimming and God only toyed with him further by not answering his questions. How would he explain everything to Alfred with out him getting in the way. God giggled in his head and said one word. "Think." She voice had that soft motherly tone to it. She really drove him nuts sometimes, 'think', what else could he be doing. Then it hit him, a letter! She laughed and that was the last of her.
"How did I not think of that sooner!" He said to himself and found a paper and pen. Double checking to make sure he was alone Arthur started to write. Once he was done he folded it up and placed in a spot Alfred would only notice during the party. He smiled softly and moved into the doorway. Watching Alfred set up the living room he couldn't help but laugh to himself. "Need help?"
~~~~Party Time~~~
People filled the house like crazy. Alfred had friends, neighbors, and coworkers, even a ex or two. Arthur watched them in a mild sense of amusement. Alfred introduced him to his partner at work Ludwig, his one ex who he was still friends with Toris, and to a few others. Arhtur greeted them all but looked for a opening to get away from everyone, Alfred would find that letter soon enough and he didn't want to be in reach when he did. These wing where coming off tonight. "Alfred I'm going to talk to Matthew."
"Alright, could you get me a beer when you come back?" Alfred asked as he walked off. Arthur nodded and darted right past Matthew. He turned the music up louder and crept into the garage. Inside were two boy no older then fifteen or sixteen and clearly of some Asian ethnicity making out . Arthur blinked and cleared his throat. They both jumped and retreated back into the house.
"Bloody teenagers these days." He mumbled and closed the door rolling his eyes. His eyes moved over to the saws handing off the wall. He gulped and moved closer. The teeth seemed to shimmer brightly in the dim light, they were all scary sharp. "Damn yank is ready to fight off zombies." Arthur pulled one of the saws off the wall and turned it around in his hands. One tooth stuck into his thumb drawing a droplet of blood. Arthur yelped and the saw fell to the floor. But with shake he picked it back up and placed it on Alfred's work bench. His wings spread out widely and he took the saw back into his hands.
Alfred looked over his shoulder pouting his lip. "What's taking Arthur so long. Talk'n to Matt can't be that interesting." Toris gave a meek smile. Alfred crossed his arms and tapped his foot.
"Umm Al why don't you go find Matthew if your worried." Toris said his eyes wondering over to his boyfriend who had way to much to drink and was putting Gilbert's bird into a Barbie dress. Alfred nodded and walked off without another word and Toris left to save the bird. Alfred walked around until he found his brother sitting on Gilbert's lap with a few of the other guests sitting in chairs around them watching the TV. Arthur wasn't there.
"Hey Matt where did Arthur go after he talked to ya." Alfred asked his arms still crossed over his chest. Matthew blink and looked at him confused.
"Arthur hasn't said a word to me. I haven't even seen him, umm Alfred what's that." Matthew pointed to a white corner that was sticking out of his jacket. Alfred looked at it and didn't it remember it being there when he picked out his clothes this morning. He pinched the corner with two fingers and pulled it out. Holding in his hand's he blinked. "Open it." Matthew said.
"Yeah open it! There might be cash." Gilbert smiled. Alfred shook his head but torn it opened it anyways. There wasn't money but a page torn out of a notebook. Pulling it out he walked away from them to read it. Gilbert watched him until he grew bored. "Damn its not money." He said and yawned.
Alfred was never a fast reader until now. He couldn't read it fast enough. Crumbling it in his hand he darted for the garage and flung the door open. There with blood going down his whole back laid Arthur on the cold cement floor. He was out cold with a brown leather wallet neck to him and another letter. This one however wasn't from Arthur. Alfred ran to his side and saw there where no cuts or wounds and Arthur was fine. With a sigh of relief Alfred looked over at the other letter. It was pure write with something in gold written across it. Looking at it a little longer he couldn't help but to grab it.
You owe me big Alfred
Love, God and Jesus
ps, Your grandma says hi and here's a hard candy
Alfred blinked and shoved the letter into his pocket along with the mint. Arthur started to move a little but he didn't wake up. Alfred lifted him up and carried him in side. Everyone was surrounding the TV as the count down was about to start, Alfred was able to sneak Arthur upstairs and hide the blood soaked clothes. He changed him into some pj's and put him in bed. "Happy New Year." Alfred said and kissed his cheek.

Oh and I'm going to write Arthur's letter to Alfred as another chapter, then maybe if I'm lucky a bonas chapter
Well I must say this took me much longer then I had planned. Really when did I start this bad boy. I know I started it before I was friends with Lynne. BTW girl so sorry I blew this off for so long. And then wrote it and posted it without telling you. I wanted it to be a surprise. Well I hope I can post this soon. It was written when I didn't have any internet. I'm so sad that its over. I have been writing this for so long I don't know if I'll ever write anything to match it. I have a few ideas on few fics to start. One had pirates and is PruCan. Then I had a cute idea for a DenNor fic. Also a Spain/Lovino. Then I had a idea for a ShittyXChina (idk about that one). Last of all a Egypt/Japan. But idk. What do you people think. Oh and reader from Michigan HI.
Merry X-Mas and Happy New Year
