UKUS 16 THE END

The ring stayed shining on Arthur’s thin finger for months after. They even went and found Alfred one, though he insisted not to make it too “girly” or anything so it ended up being a simple silver with three small diamonds pushed into the interior. He didn’t want anything too big or bright, he was the hero after all, but he defiantly wanted to show his love for the Brit anyway he could.

“How about this one? It’d look great on you!” Feliciano suggested, looking with Alfred at various styles and colors of suits for his big day. If you needed help with fashion or decorating, Feliciano was the one to go to, after all. Lucky for Alfred they were such close friends, which also in turn ended up with the little Italian being one of the American’s groomsmen.

“Dude, that would look awesome!” Was Alfred’s excited response at what the other showed to him. He helped dress him up for his restaurant proposal, now he was helping him with the main event and it was going beyond well.

Surprisingly enough, the same could be said for Arthur and Lovino. The older Italian was also a good dresser, but not normally as willing to help as his brother. But, it appeared to everyone that he made an exception for the engaged Brit. They were also picking out what to wear but both parties were keeping it a secret. Only Arthur, Lovino, Francis and Ludwig knew what they were to wear and only Alfred, Feliciano, Matthew and Kiku knew their outfits. They wanted everything to be a surprise to everyone which was easy when each only had three groomsmen.  

They did however, decided that Alfred would use red and Arthur would use blue. They didn’t want each other to come down the aisle in the same color but besides that, no one knew anything. It nearly drove Feliciano mad not being able to tell Ludwig or Lovino all the exciting things but time flew by and soon enough he didn’t have to.

Months later, Alfred found himself laughing nervously with his three groomsmen as everyone, every country and familiar face, filled the rows and rows of empty seats. Each dressed their best and most bringing gifts and their good luck wishes. Arthur was hidden from everyone, since they didn’t want to stray too far from a traditional wedding, or at least Arthur convinced Alfred that, they decided one of them have to be “the bride” in a sense. So, Alfred waited in front of everyone dressed in sleek black with a white undershirt and a lively crimson rose hanging onto his chest. Feliciano, Kiku and Matthew were all standing with him in black dress pants, dark, crimson button-up shirts, to match the American’s rose, and black vests and ties.

But as the room started to fill up with excited faces, the three left to take their places where no one could see them. As it grew silent, Roderich sat to the side, his fingers beginning to glide across the keys of the grand piano. Then, everyone stood, and watched as the first to come out were Kiku and Ludwig, followed by Francis and Matthew, and finally Lovino and Feliciano who looked more alike in that moment than most people had ever seen. Both Italians were grinning widely, which was a rare occurrence with Lovino. Each went and stood in their correct position before the last person to come out. The blonde Brit was dressed nicely, in a white suit except for a light blue tie and a darker blue rose to mirror Alfred’s.

It was silent except for the music the Austrian played as the Englishman stepped up to the front and the ceremony began.

Now, Arthur wore two rings. The silver, diamond ruled one and a smooth gold one. It shone on his finger as he intertwined his and Alfred’s together. They were walking together to another London held world meeting a couple months after the wedding.

Things, for the most part, were actually going pretty normal. Alfred still lived in New York, and Arthur in London, but it seemed one was always staying with the other.

“Alright, today’s world meeting is addressing the issue…” Ludwig was lecturing all the bored looking countries. Feliciano sat beside him, already half asleep ad dazed as he doodled on his paper, Lovino was glaring between him and Antonio. Alfred and Arthur were together, The Brit and Frenchman occasionally stabbing at one another with their glares as Alfred kept interrupting the German to suggest a “heroic plan of action”.  

A couple hours later the meeting was paused in order for everyone to have a break and have lunch.

“Hey, Artie.” Alfred said, biting into one of the hamburgers he’d gotten beforehand from McDonald’s.

“Yes, Alfred?” Arthur answered, quietly drinking his tea that made steamy swirls in the air against his pale face. He was only half listening, as he was still holding up his newest book on the table and trying to drown out the noises of his fellow nations.

“So, I’ve been thinking-”

“Oh no.” Arthur grinned as he heard Alfred gasp and pout a bit. “Anyway, go on.”

“So, I’ve been thinking that, since we’re together forever now, we should adopt.”

It burnt when Arthur spit out his tea, almost covering his novel in a coat of sweet liquid. “Wh-Wha-?”

Alfred didn’t seem to notice the other’s shock and went on with a pleased grin. “Don’t worry, I’ve already got it planned out! Actually, I’ve been thinking Peter!” He confirmed with a proud laugh.

“What!?”
