Part 2:
In the intervening years after Japan had left his house, America was forced in and out of other diplomatic situations. Korea, his failure in Vietnam, the Suez Crisis, the communist takeover of Cuba, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, his leaders resigning and being killed, they all played its part in demoralizing an already fading glory. It felt like the whole world was against him. And perhaps it was, seeing as throughout all these conflicts, he had managed to offend almost all of his previous allies.
Sitting in his office looking over paperwork for the United Nations Security Council admission of the People's Republic of China, the silence of his house was so much more apparent. He'd been the one to inform Taiwan of her loss of Security Council membership. He'd been her biggest supporter, so it had seemed appropriate that he tell her himself that he was betraying her for her communist brother. It was simple politics: China was enemies with Russia, so America was China's ally. These kind of politics made him feel dirty, unheroic, and deceitful.
His phone rang.
Thinking it was either France or England with another issue over Israel, he answered immediately.
"Alfred," he said, trying to sound busy, even though he wasn't for the first time in weeks.
"America-san? It's Japan," Alfred's heart skipped uncomfortably. Japan? Calling him? Why? Yes, they were allies, but he hadn't had direct contact with him since the Olympics in '64, despite spending so much time in Korea and Vietnam.
"Am I interrupting something?" The Eastern Nation sounded concerned.
"Ah, no, what can I do for you?" He tried not to sound too relieved to be talking with Kiku, even though it was such a comfort to hear the other Nation's quiet voice on the other end.
"Well, I've created a really interesting invention, and I was going to get some other Nations together to try it out. It's called karaoke, and I believe it would be a good way to reaffirm out ties with each other. Are you free?"
"Ah, well, yes, actually," Alfred said, flustered. His cheeks were already lighting up in a blush. Even now, he could imagine the insecure look, hidden behind so many schooled layers of indifference: the slight pinch of eyebrows, the tightening of lips, just the barest hint of emotion in Japan's dark, endless eyes. America was greedy; he wanted to see that look in person, wanted to gaze upon the one Nation who made him so irrevocably flustered. "I-I'd love to join in! Who else would be... well, with us?" And no, he did not care that he wouldn't be alone with Kiku.
"I was planning on asking England, France, Italy, West Germany, and Australia. Is that alright?" Once again, the small island Nation sounded insecure, though he had come well into his own since the days of the Second World War.
"O-of course!" Invited out by Japan; it was something America had wanted for quite a while. There was a tinny sigh over the phone, one that sounded very relieved. Once again, Alfred could imagine the vulnerability in Kiku's face, and he became firm in his determination to see the other Nation in person once more.
"Please come to my place around seven, then."
"Alright."
It was just a simple agreement, but it felt like a silken promise to Alfred. He would honor it like the hero he once was. Silence but for the static background of the phone fell on both sides of the conversation, and after a long pause, the older Nation finally spoke.
"I should inform the others," he said quietly.
"Yes, that'd be, well, yes, um, I suppose." Damn his tongue for not working, even now, when all he really wanted to do was just keep talking. The others could wait, could go to hell, really, as long as he could hear that soft, smooth voice again. Soft, like the gentle play of sheets over Kiku's body as he slept off the pain. Smooth, like each delicate strand of the older Nation's hair. Kiku's voice was all the bittersweet memories that floated through Alfred's mind, unbidden, at any given point of the day. Kiku's voice reminded him of being the hero, of being kind and strong and trustworthy. All of the things he had not been to Kiku himself.
And suddenly, he had to speak.
"...ing now. I wish you a pleasant--" The smaller Nation was saying, but Alfred cut right through.
"Wait. How--how have you been?" He sounded desperate, felt like it too, like he was going to be left alone again and that the comfort was never going to come back because he didn't deserve it. It felt the same as when he had been a little Nation, when England had gone to his home and had left him alone for all those years.
"I've been well, and you?" Alfred hoped it wasn't his imagination that Kiki sounded relieved.
"Fine, fine, busy as usual, but healthy," the blond Nation replied, realizing a few seconds later that he had nothing else to say.
"That's good to hear," Kiku said.
There was a long pause, neither knowing what to say and obviously not wanting to hang up (at least on Alfred's end).
"I-I should be going, then," Japan continued suddenly, "See you later, America-san."
"Ah, yes, okay, good-bye." The line had gone dead before the whole sentence had made it out. Alfred felt his chest grow a little heavier. He put down the receiver with a frown and then went down to the kitchen to prepare some kind of gift for Japan. He was no good at cooking, but perhaps if he took out some of the aged wine...? Back when he'd been living in America's home, Japan had expressed an interest in foreign liquor and had started going through his cabinets for anything that looked remotely tasty. Besides, France and Italy would be there, too, and if he knew anything about those frivolous two, it was that they liked themselves some proper alcohol--none of that beer crap of which Germany was so fond, nor the other spirits that England enjoyed so much.
---
Alfred approached Kiku's door with some trepidation. The sounds of festivity were loud from the sidewalk in front of the house. It was a relief that he wasn't the first to arrive. As he knocked to be let in, he heard the bass being turned up, and he recognized the song that was being belted out by who could only be Italy, to be the new hit, "Sweet Home, Alabama". Kiku answered the door a few seconds after the song had started. The Eastern Nation looked a bit flustered, but pleased.
"Welcome, America-san!" Japan greeted, smiling at his guest. Alfred nodded and returned the smile, the expression hardly touching the surface of his true happiness at seeing the dark-haired Nation.
He was ushered into the house and was soon absorbed in the activities. England took his turn after Italy, singing "Black Magic Woman," getting a warm round of applause and a lewd remark or two from France. After a quick argument between the two of them, Francis took his turn with "She's a Lady." A very gloomy-faced Australia went next, scowling as he half-sang, half-yelled the kookaburra song. Every few seconds, he'd let out a large hiccup, indicating that he, at least, had been well into the nearly empty bottle of whiskey next to Arthur.
"You next, Alfred, come one!" Shouted France from across the room, where he was nuzzling into the bottle of wine the younger Nation had brought. At least ten red roses surrounded Francis, and Alfred spied more than three empty glasses on the table next to him.
"Very well, very well!" He conceded, glancing furtively at Kiku, which he had been doing all evening--hopefully the smaller Nation hadn't noticed. Japan looked the most sober of all the guests, which made it easier for Alfred to get rid of those nasty little thoughts that told him to go over to the other Nation and do something unforgivable. So he sang instead, reminding himself that he could never be forgiven enough to be let that close to Kiku. And even if Kiku did forgive him, he could never allow himself the same luxury. Yes, years had passed, decades had flown by, but the shadow of World War Two remained with them all. In this room alone, West Germany was a prime example. He hadn't been the same since his brother had been taken to Russia's home. Italy had scarcely left the Nation alone since the end of the war.
He sang a rousing rendition of "American Woman." France booed because he apparently didn't move his hips enough.
Germany refused to sing, despite the rousing chorus of jeers that followed his statement, so they collectively decided to move onto the next person before heckling Germany a bit more. Japan stood, his legs shaking a little bit, much to America's distress, and then walked over to the karaoke machine and selected a song. The opening statement to "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" blasted from the speakers. In a thin almost-alto, Kiku began to sing.
"When I said I needed you..."
And then Alfred was somewhere else entirely. Kiku swayed back and forth, not entirely to the beat, but close, showcasing his slim hips. The fabric of his light, cotton slacks seemed to nearly bury his small figure. Even the royal blue t-shirt Japan was wearing seemed like elephant's skin when it was hanging off those small shoulders. No, Kiku did not look like a boy, but he did seem unearthly thin at the moment. He was kind of pale, too, now that Alfred looked. He had been trying to just admire how beautiful the island Nation was, but this...well, Japan looked unhealthy, not to mention malnourished.
That shouldn't have been the case, all things considered. The recent economic boom should have left Japan in a much better state. He should have been glowing. Instead, there was this--this horrible, pasty, almost ashen look about Kiku's features. He should have been a fine shade of pale gold, but instead he looked halfway between paper and moss. His eyes looked dull, too, and a little bit jaundiced.
Was Japan feeling unwell? Why host a party if he was? And hadn't he been fine only a few minutes ago?
Alfred's thoughts snapped away as he watched Kiku sway too far to the right and then fall to the tatami mats on the floor. His heart froze as Kiku's eyes closed. Without realizing it, his feet were moving him. He felt like he was floating, like he was removed from the situation entirely, just existing, just watching...
He was glad for his height advantage over the island Nation, as well as for the accompanying strength. With little effort, he was able to pick Kiku up and carrying him upstairs, calling for the others to leave since Japan was ill. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Italy twine his fingers through Germany's and edge them toward the door. France, England, and Australia hadn't seemed to notice the commotion at all, instead participating in a merry dance that consisted of much chicken squawking and a lot of lewd movements on Francis's part. And then Alfred was past the sliding door and turning so that he could use the stairs to get to Kiku's room. He still heard the sounds drifting from below, but his attention was so far from it all that it scarcely mattered.
"A-America-san?" Questioned a tiny voice. Alfred looked down and saw Kiku looking groggily back up. His gaze was unfocused but still direct somehow. "Did I pass out?"
"Yes, now hush, we're almost to your bed, and then you can lie down." After setting his burden on the mattress, he smoothed back Kiku's hair--he was a bit disturbed when a few strands of hair fell to the ground at the movement--and pushed back the bedclothes so that the Nation could sleep.
"Sorry. It's been so long since this last happened," Kiku admitted, looking away.
"You're still... feeling the effects?" Alfred asked. The guilt ran down well-worn channels, renewed and strengthened.
"Not often, but every once in a while, yes," the other Nation replied. His dark gaze was still facing the wall.
"Oh." America's face fell a little bit. "Is there anything I can do?" After all, he'd promised both himself and Japan that he would always, always help the Nation out.
Japan blushed and shook his head. "I-I couldn't ask for that," he mumbled.
"For what? If it's in my power--hell, even if it's not--I'll do it for you, Kiku." Alfred spoke earnestly, not regretting for an instant what could very well turn out to be a very constricting promise.
"It--it's definitely in your power." Kiku looked like the sunset--or perhaps the sunrise would be more appropriate. His golden skin mixed seamlessly with the vivid, crimson blush, resplendent against the midnight color of his hair. Alfred could not rid himself of this image, this perfect homage to the sun, even as he blinked and shook his head.
"What is it?"
"America-san, I want you to make me feel good." The words came out hesitantly but with resolve.
"How?" Even surrendering to Russia was an option. Quite frankly, Alfred knew that he would even become Japan's colony. As long as it made up for the horrors he'd done to the other Nation, he would do anything. He didn't deserve forgiveness. Already, Japan was being too kind; if anything, Alfred knew he deserved to have the same done to him, perhaps on a grander scale so that it would do the same damage to him as he had done to Kiku.
"You are... being obtuse," Kiku half-mumbled, half-whispered. He was still looking away. "I want... what America-san wants."
That did not exactly register in Alfred's guilt-ridden brain. He looked the other Nation directly in the eye and blinked absently. "What--what I want?"
Japan's hair rippled through the air as the Nation nodded several times, his eyes closed.
That could not be possible. If Kiku was hinting at what Alfred thought he was... but no. It couldn't be.
But to be sure...
He scooted closer to the middle of the bed, turning to face Kiku, who sat up against the pillows. "A-are you sure?" There was no way Kiku would really ask for that, not after everything Alfred had done not to deserve it. He didn't even belong in this room at all. Someone else should have carried Japan up instead--perhaps West or Italy. They had been allies all those years ago, after all. They would be the best company.
But Japan nodded again, so America scooted closer still. At this point, he and the dark-haired Nation were scarcely a foot apart. "Are you sure?" He asked again. He had to be positive this was what the smaller Nation wanted. But what if this wasn't what Kiku had been referring to? What if Kiku wanted to be a hero, or eat cheeseburgers, or learn to play hockey better than Canada?
Again, Kiku nodded, blushing so hard that Alfred was starting to fear a blood vessel would pop and the smaller Nation would end up with a nosebleed. So he leaned in, catching Kiku's chin between his thumb and forefinger, and looking deeply into the smaller Nation's eyes, he asked his question once more.
"Yes," Kiku breathed. The little puff of air swirled over Alfred's lips, warming them, pulling them closer like he was being lassoed in, just like in those Western films. The moment fizzled, crackled, and then his mouth was on Kiku's, their lips sliding together with a sigh, like two adjoining pieces of a puzzle.
Thin arms reached behind him and latched on to his neck and back, pulling him closer until their chests were nearly touching. How dare he defile Japan like this? But the other Nation didn't seem to care, pulling back only for a quick breath of air before moving right back in again, and Alfred couldn't help but gather Kiku into his arms, adjusting them so that the dark-haired Nation was on his lap. Gently, tentatively, Alfred moved his hands farther down Kiku's sides until they were resting on his slim hips.
He trailed his lips down the Eastern Nation's thin, delicate throat, nibbling lightly on his collarbone before his hands found the hem of the dark t-shirt Kiku was wearing. The blue material was gone without another moment's thought or hesitation. Alfred admired the way the soft incandescent light highlighted the mellow honey tone of Kiku's skin as his hands caressed the Nation's strong back and sides. The blond Nation ran his fingers along the mottled burn scars that were so numerous. It was almost sacriligous that such perfect skin had been blemished to such a horrid extent. It made Alfred all the more aware of the guilt that had been festering in his chest for all these years. If it had been sacrilige to harm Kiku back then, what was it now?
He hadn't noticed that his hands had stopped moving, or that he had stopped moving at all, but Kiku did, and it wasn't until the Asian Nation had taken Alfred's face in his hands and had turned it so that their eyes were locked, did America come back from his world of self-hatred.
"You are feeling guilty," Kiku stated, as if it hadn't been the most obvious thing in the entire universe, at least to Alfred, anyway. He'd done well in hiding it, then.
"Why wouldn't I? I-I almost killed you. That's not something easily forgiven." Alfred let his hands fall to the soft sheets at his sides, his eyes still locked with those infinitely dark ones. Like he was a star trapped in a black hole, all the light disappearing into those unknown depths, never to return.
"You and I both know that it takes more to kill a Nation tha some bomb. I've told you before that I forgive you, America-san." Even though Kiku said those words, it still didn't make the guilt any less. But he had nothing else to say in response, so he let a short silence pass between them.
Kiku sighed, letting his hands fall away from Alfred's face, releasing the Western Nation from the pull of his dark eyes.
"I... have tried being indirect, as is my way, but it would seem that more direct means are required for you to understand. Perhaps if I say exactly what I mean, as you are apt to do, your guilt will be lessened." The blush had returned to Japan's cheeks, though Alfred was unsure if it had ever actually left.
Kiku stood up, removing himsefl from Alfred's lap, and walked over to the door. He slid it shut, clicking the light off as he did so. The uproar from the party had long since died away, and they were left only with the heavy noise of cicadas in the trees outside.
The moon was bright in the sky, so even though he was temporarily blind, the silhouette of the other Nation was quite clear to America.
The bed shifted, and he felt Japan's presence very, very close to him.
"Direct, you say?" Alfred gulped out, trying to let on just how much he wanted to run his hands through Kiku's hair, or kiss those scars, or... it was almost unbearable to even imagine.
"Yes, direct. They say the best way to get something you really want is to be direct, especially in cases such as these." Warm breath in his ear sent a stream of goosebumps down his spine.
"Who is... they?" He asked, trying to think of things not having to do with Japan, or guilt, or just how turned on he was at that moment.
"France and Italy. They are romance cultures, after all." The last part was added almost off-handedly, hurried almost, as if Kiku had not wanted to think about adding it, but had added it as some sort of hint. Alfred might be oblivious at times, but now was not one of those times. He got the hint, he just couldn't believe it.
"How can you... want me? After everything I did to you, how can you even want to look at me? I killed hundred of thousands of your people and yet you still... why?" It just didn't make sense. He was the hero and he had done something so wrong that no one should forgive him. It was like if Captain America had actually been a spy for the Reds, or if Batman had killed the Chief, or if Superman had let Louis Lane die. It was blasphemous, it was unthinkable, and he had done it.
"Because you are my hero, Alfred. Even though you were the cause of my pain, you still took care of me and rebuilt me into something better. That is why I want you." Before America could do anything but flap his lips in a useless attempt to make words, Kiku launched himself forward, pulling them both into a searing kiss. The smaller Nation nibbled at Alfred's lower lip almost tenderly, as if beneath the passion, he just wanted acceptance and, perhaps, love.
America let himself be pushed back on the bed so that his head was near the footboard. Kiku gasped as Alfred put his hands on the smaller Nation's hips, nudging his fingers under the waistband of the slacks, and America used that opportunity to lightly brush his tongue along the inside of the smaller Nation's lip. He caught Japan by surprise with the action, just enough to reverse their positions. Now he was holding Kiku down, the Nation looking like a silver shadow in the moonlight. He rather liked that image. He moved in to kiss that shadow.
Hands tangled in his hair, removed his glasses when they kept getting in the way, tugged at the collar of his shirt insistently. Alfred leaned back a bit.
"What is it?" He asked breathlessly, his voice a bit coarse.
Japan just shook his head and pulled again at the shirt. Alfred smiled lightly.
"Would you like me to take it off?" He asked. Kiku nodded, and the garment was removed. The other Nation brought his hands up to Alfred's newly exposed chest and began to explore, like he had never done such a thing before, like he was in awe of what he was seeing. Gradually, the Nation's hands moved lower and lower until they were tentatively placed on his ass.
Alfred kissed him again, once again following the path of Kiku's jawbone and neck after he'd satisfied himself with the Nation's lips. But even that wasn't enough for him, so he traveled farther yet down to the smaller Nation's chest, licking and nibbling the pert bud that greeted his lips when they had reached their intended destination. Kiku gasped and arched further into the touch, letting out a sigh as Alfred explored every inch of exposed flesh, shivering when Alfred slid a hand over his clothed inner thigh.
"Nn... I want..." Kiku gestured wordlessly for a moment before securing America's head, which he had raised to see what was wrong, back to his chest. The message, somehow, couldn't have been clearer. Alfred was terribly aware of everything in that one moment: the salty taste of sweat on Japan's skin, the sweetness of the Eastern Nation's gaze, the great thump-thump of his flyaway heart, the noise--the rapid-fire click-click-click--that the zipper made as he undid Japan's fly. He knew it was inappropriate, and every portion of his mind screamed against it, but his body could no longer be held at bay. He wanted Kiku, had wanted him since the day they had first played baseball with each other, and it seemed like Kiku wanted him just as much. Even though he'd hurt him, even though he'd mutilated such a perfect little body, Alfred wanted this more than he cared to admit.
"Me too," Alfred said, pressing a hand against the center of the other Nation's boxers and feeling very proud of himself at the hissing intake of breath the action caused. He lowered his head to Kiku's chest again, kissing down to his navel, breathing moist air upon the elastic waistband that lay just below. Just because he could, he pressed a kiss at the waistband and then grinned mischievously before peeking beneath the fabric.
"A-America-san!" Kiku exclaimed, and he sounded a bit plaintive. Alfred glanced up just enough to see the smaller Nation blushing outrageously, his small hands fisting in the sheets next to his head. He didn't know whether the plea was for him to stop or to keep going, but he ignored it nonetheless and slowly shimmied the boxers down. Gently, carefully, he licked the exposed skin from base to tip before engulfing it in his mouth. The surprised cry that came, unbidden, from Japan's mouth was worth more than what Alfred could put into words. Well, coherent words anyway, words that were not vulgar, as America was pretty sure fuck, shit, motherfucker, bang, bang wasn't really all that eloquent. He mentally shook his head and scolded himself for his lack of concentration on the other Nation. He swirled his tongue over the tip as a nonverbal apology.
It was very empowering, he decided, to have Japan squirming under him. Each moan, each half-buried exclamation of "A-Arufuredo" or "America-san," made his heart swell with pride. It felt as if the scars he had worn into that old, run-down, and tattered muscle were being burned away with each pump of life through his veins. Small hands worked their way into his hair, pulling at tufts until Alfred thought they'd be ripped out. But as annoying as the slight pain was, it was also very, very satisfying, knowing that every movement he made was pleasuring the smaller Nation.
Reaching blindly for the bedside table, he was glad to find a bottle of lube on it--it saved him the trouble of having to remove his mouth from Japan's length. It also brought up the question of why it was there in the first place. Had wily Kiku Honda been trying to seduce him tonight?
But no, the thought died as soon as it had entered his mind. Certainly the evening had been orchestrated to "reaffirm bonds" with the Nations that had helped him, just like Kiku had said. So he sucked a little bit harder, opening the lube and covering his fingers liberally with it. He brought his pointer finger to the tightly coiled muscle and tapped in gently, luxuriating in the little broken moan that Kiku made beneath him. With reluctance, he released Japan's erection from his mouth, despite the groan of protest, moving up instead to recapture the Nation's neglected lips. He used that moment of distraction to lightly massage at the muscle until he could press his finger in.
He went slowly, stopping each time Kiku pulled back and made a face. After the third time, the dark-haired Nation scowled up at him and told him, point-blank, to continue and stop being such a cocktease. For the first time that night, Alfred blushed, falling completely still yet again. Then, swirling his finger just a little, he decided he'd had enough of distractions. Apparently, his bed partner thought the same and drew him into a kiss that was really more of a game of "let's see who can reach the other's tonsils first!"
The second finger was met with some resistance. Though it was not enough for the Eastern Nation to protest, Alfred was still cautious; he did not want to harm what had already suffered so much. When all resistance had been eliminated, the blond Nation added a third finger, waiting patiently for the muscles to relax to the intrusion.
Thin arms wrapped themselves securely around his neck, keeping him close enough to kiss if the other Nation felt inclined. Alfred gently stretched and massaged until he hit the spot he had been searching for. Kiku's back arched off the bed, a startled exclamation caught in his throat. Capturing the smaller Nation's mouth with his own, Alfred hit the same spot again for good measure before deeming his work complete. As he pulled his fingers from the warm recesses of Kiku's body, the smaller Nation let one of his arms detach so that he could help Alfred apply lube to his own aching arousal. He tried not to make any noise, but each slow stroke against the heated flesh made a cacophany of sounds slip through his clenched teeth, unbidden.
"Please, America-san..." Kiku's voice faded away into nothing, and Alfred watched as the blush spread throughout his entire body.
"Are you sure?" He questioned one last time. The other Nation simply nodded. "Then relax." Gently, he parted Kiku's legs farther than they had been and lined himself up. He knew what he was going to do would hurt Japan, but after all the pain he'd already caused the Nation, what was this much in comparison?
He slid in slowly, taking care to let the older Nation relax until he could accept more. When at last he was fully seated, Kiku whispered, "America-sama."
A single tear fell from Japan's left eye, but Alfred kissed it away before it could follow the path down Kiku's cheek. He put their foreheads together and stroked that same cheek he had not allowed to be marred by that liquid emotion.
"Relax."
It was impossible for him to stay still, to not pull away just a bit so he could thrust harder into that impossibly warm, wet space. But he managed it somehow. Perhaps it was the honorific Japan had given him. Master, it meant. A term of high regard, one used for someone of higher status than the speaker. Alfred was not of higher status, not in a million years, but he wouldn't ruin the moment. Time was still--still, just like their bodies--Kiku's face highlighted in silver from the moonlight, showing off the slightly pained euphoria he was no doubt feeling at the moment.
Alfred had never been taken like this before, nor had he had much thought for taking someone else. He had, of course--all those conquests in the time of New Imperialism--but none of those had meant what this did. This was about passion, about two hearts working together, about two bodies meeting in the ultimate compromise, and maybe, maybe, about love.
"Move," Kiku breathed, breaking the moment of introspection.
Alfred did. He rocked back and then pushed in, starting with smaller thrusts until he deemed that Kiku could handle larger, more demanding thrusts. Each time their hips met, Kiku let out the littlest groan, reminding Alfred just a little of a metronome as they found a medium pace. Moderato, it might be called, or perhaps andante. In this dance of limbs, there was the inexorable tune of moans and groans, kept steady with the base line of grunts and the soft, rhythmic squeak of bedsprings, throughout which breathy pants created a sweet, mellow inner voice. This symphony, this perfect bourrée, was the holiest of sounds, and Alfred knew that no matter what came to pass, he would never quite forget it. Not ever.
Perhaps it was true that he loved Kiku. It was certainly plausible. He knew he loved the sounds that Kiku was making, those little broken ah--ah--ahs that were so pleasant to his ear. He knew that when he changed the angle so that he hit the smaller Nation's prostate with every thrust, the way Kiku's back arched and the way the Nation cried loudly and wantonly were more arousing than anything he'd ever seen or heard before. Maybe that in itself was love. But at the moment, that didn't matter. All Alfred truly cared about was the tight and small and willing body beneath him, the sensations that began in his groin and spiraled outward with numbing tingles. He felt like someone had set off all of the fireworks being hoarded for the next Fourth of July celebration in his body.
Most importantly, though, he wanted this moment forever.
Nails scratched at his back, a needy mouth lay a sloppy and brief kiss on his own, muscles tightened almost painfully around his length, and then the moment was lost and they both lay trembling in the afterglow of something too powerful to be fully comprehended. As their breathing evened, Alfred pushed himself off of the smaller Nation and sat up. When he lay down again, this time on the proper side of the bed, he pulled Japan in with him and covered them both with the bedclothes.
"Thank you, America-san," Japan breathed, pressing a kiss to the blond Nation's neck, unable to reach any higher. Alfred tightened his arms around Kiku.
"Always," he responded, mirroring that one black day, back when Japan had left him alone in his large house. This time, the other Nation heard him.
"We will... do this again?" Kiku sounded hopeful.
"Anytime you want," he promised, bowing his head so that he could kiss the top of Japan's. The Nation shivered a bit in his arms.
They lay in silence for a while, drifting, drifting...
Right before sleep washed over him, Alfred could have sworn he heard Kiku mumble something else.
"I love America-san..."
"For what it's worth," he replied, not entirely sure if it was in his mind or out loud, "I think I love you, too."
The last thing Alfred felt was Kiku tightening his grip, nuzzling lightly into his neck.
