Unwilling to do anything of the sort, Alfred’s mother sucks in air through her teeth. “How could you not tell him?”
“I wanted to do it tomorrow! Give me a break!”
“So he doesn’t even know?!”
Desperate to avert an argument, Alfred raises a hand and clasps his mother’s shoulder. “Know about what? Tell me!”
There is a severe gap of painful silence, overstaying its welcome by far. Alfred’s parents stare at each other and Alfred can’t work out if that’s a step in the right direction or a marathon in the wrong one, so he waits impatiently, sinking back into the couch cushions.
“We were thinkin’,” Kevin says eventually, “and we decided that, now you’re getting older, it would be better for you to attend school and get used to life here. Rather than living in the middle of nowhere with my folks.”
Alfred’s mother smiles down at him, although it’s a humourless smile. “Don’t you think that would be nice? To live here full-time? Your father and I will be able to look after you if we take leave from work, and you’re very close with Emma...”
It’s right about then that Alfred stops listening.
If he hadn’t felt sick before, he certainly does now.
Gosh darn you, character limits.
Quick chapter of quickness is quick, so it hasn’t been edited or whatnot... /embarrassed/ If there are glaring errors, feel free to attack me verbally orz. Also, Alfred’s parents are Monaco and Molossia. Just ‘cause.
Oh, and happy St George’s Day, everyone! :D At least, it is where I am, ha. Timezones to the rescue~

And Monaco and Molossia as Alfred's parents? Yes, brilliant choice. If you didn't have my eternal love before you have it now.

I used to cry so much with the Steadfast Tin Soldier! Children stories can be so terrible D: I kind of love Bonnefoy here. I can see France in him and that's great in an AU, where warping characters to fit the story is so common and so tempting. Loved Gilbert, too.
Arthur's explosion was perfect. He's frustrated and angry and I can't imagine how terrible he feels. I also liked how Alfred wanted to help him, but deep inside he prefers to have Arthur all by himself. That's very IC with America, who is attention seeking and a bit selfish while still being good-hearted and wanting to help people. It's also nice how you are developing his feelings towards Arthur: it wouldn't be IC (or logical, age-wise) to have him fall in love right now, though I can see his attachemente changing with time.
The mistery around Arthur, Bonnefoy and Harold is still intriguing and I can't stop imagining theories.
All in all, in a time when fandom is making me a bit sad, your story is a beacon of happiness and amasement.
