“Life isn't fair, Alfred. It never was and it's not supposed to be.” Arthur replies. He knows he can't play nice guy right now, he has to be tough so Alfred will be strong enough to get through all this.
“Just forget about me. You can make new friends and you can--” Arthur says, but he's so easily cut off by Alfred's voice, which is much more louder, he's angry, Arthur knows. “I can make new friends, I can meet new people, but I can't ever meet another England... Meet another Arthur who I loved...!”
Arthur pauses, and before he knows it, he's clutching Alfred so tightly, the water works pouring out, he is sobbing and all Alfred can do is cry and hold him close too. It hurts, it hurts him like he's stabbed thrice, he just wants to cry. So he cries, he cries with Arthur, the person he wants to spend his life with.
But... but the world is not very kind. Everything does not end with a happy ending.
“Alfred... I love you too... You may not ever meet another me, but you can fall in love again...” Arthur chokes out, but he knows it was no use. The way Alfred holds him so tight, the way he cries, he knows... he knows Alfred doesn't want to fall in love again, he doesn't want anyone else, but Arthur.
It makes Arthur happy, and tears his heart in two, all at once. He loves Alfred, wants him to be his forever, but he knows that if he really loves Alfred as much as he thinks he does, he has to let him go.
“I don't give a damn what you say... I'm going to love you for damn forever...” Alfred replies, and Arthur only cries more. He's never cried this much, not even at the revolution, it feels so... it feels so familiar, yet like a stranger, but he feels no shame, because the person who knows he is crying is Alfred, and he is weeping beside him too.
It was then they kiss again, Alfred begs him to stay, but Arthur knows a deal is a deal. So he lays Alfred's head back down on his lap again and strokes his hair. Alfred wills himself not to, but his eyes, swollen from all his crying, pulls him into sleep, and when he wakes up, he does not see Arthur there.
---
Alfred smiles down at Arthur's grave. How many years has it been? 5, maybe... The other nations have yet to arrive. It is maybe... 5 years since Arthur passed away, the anniversary for his death. Alfred's fellow countries know he is there, and that is why they do not come. They want to give him time with Arthur.
They know he is no longer crying at Arthur's bedside, but they know he misses him.
After all, he is always the first to arrive, and the last to leave.
He crouches down and smiles, “I wonder if you're happy that they come every year, Arthur...” and runs his fingers lightly over the slab of stone, surrounded by grass, under which Arthur is buried. He looks up to the stone above it, detailing Arthur's name and all, but... but something was wrong.
There was nothing there.
At first, Alfred worries someone has grave-robbed Arthur, but a voice surprises him.
“It doesn't really matter to me, as long as you're there.”
Alfred turns instantaneously and what he says is enough to kill him, from the shock, the joy, everything. Because that was Arthur, right behind him, not in his hospital clothes; he looks the same as he did 5 years ago, messy blond hair and think eyebrows, with a green sweater vest and a tie and for the love of God, it's Arthur Kirkland, England, it's the person Alfred loved, and still loves.
Alfred wonders that maybe the world truly is kind, and maybe his story may end with a happy ending too, because he is embracing Arthur, never wanting to let go, and Arthur wraps his arms back around Alfred.
It is no ghost, it is no illusion, it is Arthur, alive and breathing, warm and full of life, and still in love with Alfred as much as he was 5 years back.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS That was beautiful. It was just like England to be able to visit America as a ghost, but I wasn't expected the very last bit. Very cute~
