walks up to him. "Excuse me. Alfred?"

smiles at him. "I would like to talk to you."

shakes his head. "I would prefer to stand, thank you."

crosses his arms over his chest breathing out quietly. "So.. You are with Elizaveta now, ja?"

nods slightly, frowning. He looked completely serious. "Listen Alfred. I may be her ex, but Elizaveta is still very dear to me. And if you_

end up being a dunce and hurting her. I will not be happy." He was dead serious. "I will

(.... -"I will )

frowns at this. "I don't care if she is or not." He knew she wouldn't kick Alfred's ass if he hurt her, she was too nice for that. "She_

wouldn't do that. Trust me."

shakes his head. "You don't understand. She wouldn't because she is too nice." He resisted the urge to call him a block head.

... almost face palms. "Block head.." He mumbled. "That isn't what I meant."

rubs his temples. "It is not an intimidation. A warning maybe." He knew he couldn't hurt America, he was too strong. "I'm just telling you._

You had better treat her with respect and give her everything.." He spoke like he was still in love with her.

breathes out heavily. "I do have someone else. But Elizaveta is very special to me, still to this day I would do anything for her, and I_

don't want some..." He wanted to say child because of their age difference. "Young country breaking her heart."

raises an eyebrow. "I beg your pardon?" He didn't understand what he meant. "Good. I'm glad you don't plan to."

nods slightly. "I doubt that would ever work out, I wouldn't be able to handle them both." He knew they would both demand attention. "They_

can barely be in the same room together, let alone share a relationship." He sighed and nodded. "Good. Please be good to her, she is_

wonderful and deserves only the best."

looks at him. "I don't think that she still loves me. Or at least loves me the way she used to." He didn't realize the fretful look.

gasps, he put his hands up. "Alfred. There is no need to get aggressive." He frowned at how he referred to her though. ".. She can see whom_

ever she desires. Be it you, be it me. We have interacted for years and nothing has happened." He was nervous now.

frowns at this freeing his shirt and fixing his collar. "Alfred, I know what you are saying, but I can't just say okay to that."

looks at him still. "To you taking care of Elizaveta, I can't just say okay to that." He rubbed the back of his neck. "In a way, I still_

love her, but not in the same way." He just felt protective of her still.

gasps again this time grabbing onto his arm. "I know how much that hurt her, Alfred! Now there is no need to be rash!" He honestly didn't_

feel like falling. "T-trust me. It hurt me too! It wasn't like I wanted to." The spilt was enforced by their boss.

coughs a bit and rubs his throat. "Exactly why I don't want her going through that again!" He frowned slightly annoyed with the other. "You_

don't understand..! A- A child like you never could!" He barked and turned to walk away continuing to rub his throat.

grunts a bit as the can hit him in the head, he spun on his heel. "I *never* insinuated that you didn't know heartbreak. I meant that you_

have *NO* idea what Elizaveta and I have been through. So I will worry for her. I always will. And I could care less of what you think_

of that."

scoffs at that whole speech. "Are you joking? You're only saying all of this because you're afraid that she will fall for me again?" He_

shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. "You really are still a child aren't you?"

sighs and shakes his head, this argument was becoming pointless, things were starting to repeat in his mind. "Alfred, she will turn to me,_

but not for the reason you're thinking. She is with you. Eliz-.. Lizzy isn't fickle. I doubt that she would ever want me back, even if I_

single."

frowns slightly at that. "Well.." He knew she would have went back with him but he didn't say that. "I don't know.." He frowned. "And I'm_

not that skinny, thank you."

bites his lip lightly, he knew she did, be he was afraid that he would hurt her again. ".. I.. Do know.. Ja.." He shook his head. "It's not_

why I came at all. I told you I wanted to make sure you would be good to her."

sighs. "I have never discouraged her from it, and I'm not going to start now, she seems fine, and happy to be with you, so you have nothing_

to worry about. And what do you mean if you are allowed to?" His accent grew slightly thicker and more strained as his conversation went on.

sighs quietly. "That's true." He cleared his throat trying to clear up his accent. "I know that she is, but she does like you, be glad. She_

doesn't get close to many people."

smiles a bit nodding, he was still annoyed with the other, but he tried to be civil. "Next time, don't choke me." He turned and started_

to head home.

knows that he could, he was amazed he didn't get punched by the other. "I would prefer you not."
