Alfred banged his head against the wall of his apartment, paying no attention to the slight headache he had given himself. He was stupid for thinking Arthur would be willing to start another relationship this soon after ending one with Kiku.
The American stopped, and sighed. " Goddamnit... I can't believe he friend-zoned me..." He mumbled, opening his eyes slightly and walking to the kitchen of his small apartment. He bit his lip, opening the fridge and grabbing a coke.
"meh... this day sucks..." Alfred mumbled, going to the couch and plopping down onto it. He drank a swig of the soda, and looked over at a notebook. " Maybe I just... need to build up to it... Make Arthur see me as a possible boyfriend..."
Alfred smiled, watching as Arthur walked into the cafe. ' Here we go...' He thought to himself, smiling politely as he handed a woman and her daughter the two hot chocolates they had ordered. Arthur walked up to the counter, and was about to speak when Alfred cut in.
"The usual?" Arthur nodded, and Alfred stepped away from the counter to make the tea the Brit usually asked for.
Alfred heard the door open, then someone screamed. There was a gun shot, and the American turned to face a man holding a gun to his face. Alfred eyes widened, and he looked around the barrel of the gun. Arthur had been shoved to the side.
"ummm... C-can I help you, s-sir?" Alfred trembled slightly, his voice shaking. The man growled. " Just empty the register." Alfred raised an eyebrow. " Really?" His voice was surprisingly firm, and his shaking was minimal. " Are you really goin to just rob a cafe? Do you even realize you'll most likely get caught? Just give it up dude. You've already killed someone. Let's not make it any worse than that."
The man smirked. " If I've already killed one..." He put his finger over the trigger of the pistol. " What's the difference in one more?"
"Alfred!"
That's when everything went black, and Alfred's world exploded in pain.
