"I won't let you hurt him!"
The fingers were suddenly torn away from England's throat and he felt his shoulder collide with the ground. He gasped in pain and rubbed his neck gingerly. He looked up groggily, still dizzy from his near-death experience. America was standing in front of him, his arms thrown out protectively. The Thing was standing in front of America, laughing that chilling laugh. In short, America was the only thing standing between it and England.
The Thing smirked. "Trying to play the hero, hm? You're quite the show off."
"This has nothing to do with being a hero," America replied curtly.
The Thing stepped closer, staring intimidatingly into America's eyes. The young nation tensed, but glared right back. The Thing started to laugh again.
"You're very amusing, you know," it said. "It's all you're really good for. You're quite lucky, that's the only reason I'm not going to kill you. Now step aside, we had a deal, and I'm going to fulfill it."
"A deal?" America gritted his teeth, his eyes ablaze. "A deal is when two people reach an agreement! You just came out of nowhere one day and forced me to do horrible things to my only friends! That isn't a deal!"
"Very perceptive of you. Did you just figure that out?" it replied mockingly. America's eyes flashed dangerously. "Now stand aside, I'm getting tired of playing games. Or do I have to use force?"
America bit his lip. "Please don't hurt him!" he pleaded. "I could take his place! You could kill me, instead! Right?" he added challengingly. The Thing paused, and then nodded.
"I suppose," it said slowly. "Although, I'd have to add it up."
"Alfred, you can't be serious!" England exclaimed.
America nodded. "More serious than I've ever been."
"I'm not worth it!" England said desperately. "Save yourself!"
"No."
"What?"
"I said 'no.'" America turned his head and looked at England seriously. "I don't know if I could live without you, Arthur. If it kills you, it kills me, too. I won't let you die!"
The Thing sneered and pointed at America. "I've come to the conclusion that killing you would actually be best. Thank you for the suggestion."
"What? N-No!" England felt helpless. He couldn't let this happen. "Alfred, don't do it! I… I don't think I could live without you either…" America's eyes widened slightly, and he smiled.
"I'm sorry, Arthur," he said gently. "For everything."
"Are you done yet?" the Thing said impatiently.
"Yeah."
"Wait!" England cried. "Alfred, please-"
"England!" America's eyes were fierce. England's shoulders sagged and his vision started to blur. Was this really it?
America turned back to the Thing. "I'm ready." It smiled, satisfied.
"Good." It lifted its hand, palm upward. A tiny ball of icy light appeared in its hand, growing bigger every second. England's thoughts raced around his head, making him dizzy. Why was this even happening? What was the point?
Why can't I stop this?
America closed his eyes and smiled at England sadly. "Sorry," he murmured.
There was a flash of blinding light and England felt cold.

Arthur had long gotten used to Alfred coming over and pleading him to watch scary movies at any time of the day. So it was no surprise to him when, late one afternoon, he answered his doorbell to find the American standing there, looking half sheepish and half freaked out, holding a DVD in his hands.
"Hey there, Iggy!" he said in a forced cheerful voice. "What'cha doing?"
Arthur rolled his eyes, looking at the DVD cover. The Exorcist. Just the kind of movie to send Alfred scurrying over here so he didn't have to watch it alone.
"I was getting some embroidery done.... but I assume you want me to watch another 'scary' movie with you, Al

England sighed, his elbow on the wood of the bar, his other hand holding his drink as his emerald eyes stared at the tough German sitting beside him.
"You-" Arthur started, only to have a hiccup interrupt him rudely. He stared annoyed at nothing as if the hiccup would see the glare he held. But quickly the angered glare subsided and he went on talking to the German again.
What was his name again? Bah, whatever!
"H-Hey. Hey there. Hey? You have something going on with that

Alfred smiled down at him before getting off the swing and bri
