It was a peaceful, windy day when you had decided to go for a walk in the grass fields. Ah, it felt so good to be free, you thought. You had just recently moved out of your parents' home and away from England to come to America.
You gently adjusted the skirt of your dress/hem of you pants/whatever and looked down as you felt a tug on it and heard a giggle. You see a small child with big blue eyes, an adorable poofy dress thing, and an unusual cowlick sticking out of his hair.
"Aww.. Hello!" You smile and bend down to pet his head gently. The child giggles again and smiles. "H-Hi!", he says. You introduce yourself and he hugs your leg, causing you to almost fall over. "W-woah!" You laugh.
"Say, it's getting a little late.. How bout you come over to my place and we can chat for a bit, hm?" He nods and runs ahead. You sigh, not being a fan of running, and speedwalk after him.
~After some hours~
"O-ow!" You painfully smile and wince as the child pulls on your h/l, h/c hair. The smol simply laughs again and leans his head against your chest gently. He yawns tiredly and slowly falls asleep. You caringly watch him until you hear a knock. You stand up and open the door to see a flustered man with intense eyebrows. "May I help you?" "Yes, my bloody little brother, I seem to have lost him. Have you- THERE HE IS!!" The man pushes past you and inside the house, running to the sleeping child. "Dammit, Alfred, I was worried sick." He gently rocks the child in his arms then looks at you. "I-I'm sorry.."
You smile and nod solemnly. "It's alright, I should've asked first.."
After that, Alfred woke up and the three of you said your goodbyes. As they left, it pained you a little bit that they had to leave, you felt lonely.
Some years went by but everyday the two of you saw each other. You both became the best of friends, regardless of age.
Suddenly...
"Hmm.. I can't wait to see Alfred today! I have so much planned! We could go outside and collect flowers.. And.. And.." You feel faint and fall to your knees. You find it hard to breathe and then start coughing up blood, choking.
The Brit you met years back, now identified as Arthur, just so happened to be walking to your house to say that Alfred would not be visiting today because he's still sleeping. He heard the choking and immediately opened the door, running to your side.
"Y/N?!?! Are you alright?!" He asked worriedly as he knelt beside you. You had already coughed up some blood and started to pass out. Arthur shook you gently then carried you to a hospital.

Your eyes slowly began to flutter open and you gently turn your head to the side to see Alfred looking at you, sparkling big eyes and all. "Y-Y/N!! Y-You're awake now! Can we go play?"
You smile weakly and cough quietly. "Alfie.." You manage to say but it comes out in a raspy, cracked voice. "I don't think I can.. At least, not today.."
He frowns. "Why not?"
"I'm too-", you cough, "S-Sick.."
"B-But.." He balls his tiny hands into fists. "That's a lie!"
Your eyes widen.
"You just d-don't like me anymore!" His eyes tear up and you frown. "A-Al.."
"Shut up! You're just a meanie pants! I thought you were my friend! Friends play with each other.. Friends stay with each other.." You can feel your heart suddenly become heavy. "A-al wait..!"
He wipes his eyes and runs out.
You didn't even notice you had tears in your eyes until you felt them stream down your cheeks. 'Al.. Please come back.. Let me explain..' You said in your head before slowly... Closing.. Your eyes..
The heart monitor flatlines, signaling.
"Friends stay with each other.."
