Forever And Always (Teen!America X Teen!Reader)

"Why am I letting you do this?" I ask Alfred.
Alfred, my best friend, who is driving in my car blasting "I'm Sexy and I Know It", smiles at me and winks. "Because…." He pauses then sings with the music. "I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!"

I groan in annoyance and continue staring out the window. I've known Alfred since we were in diapers and now here we are. Both 16 years old, in high school, in a car, on our way to a crazy high school party.

I didn't want to go but Alfred practically begged for me to go for hours while I tried to watch television. Even my mom agreed that I should go! Why I have no clue but who cares! I didn't want to go!

I play with the hem of my (f/c) tight dress. I didn't want to wear such an outfit but Alfred told me to dress up a bit and this was the only dress I had.

"Hey, (y/n)?" I continue looking out the window.

"Hmmm?" I murmur.

"Are you in love with me?" He asks.

My mouth drops wide open and I turn to look at him. Sure I have a crush on him. I've liked him for the longest time but how would he know anything!? I don’t show anything to the cute idiot!

"Why would you ask that you moron!?" I shout.

"Because…… I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!" He sings again… What an idiot.

"I hate you." I mutter as I look out the window to see him parking in front of a packed house.

"No you don't!" Alfred laughs. "I'm the hero. You can't hate me."

"Sure, Alfie." I laugh a bit as I get out of the car.

"Gilbert sure knows how to have a party." Alfred laughs as wraps his arm around my waste. "Let's go party."

"Fine, I give." I smile up to Alfred and we walk into Gilbert's house. The music was blasting and crazy. Tons of people were around. "Where do you want to go?" I ask.

"Let's dance." He grabs my hand and drags me to the dance floor. He starts dancing.

Did I say he was a good dancer? Well he is.

I laugh a bit and begin dancing myself to the song "Thrift Shop". The floor vibrates. "You're a pretty good dancer!" Alfred yells over the music.

"You're not too bad yourself, Alfie!" I laugh.

The song slowly changes to the song "Birthday Sex". Our fast upbeat dancing turned slow and seductive. Literally can smell the sex in the air. He didn't push me to dirty dance or anything but he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Can you do me a favor?" Alfred asked.

"Yes." I answer him.

"I don't want to dirty dance with you." He states. I felt a bit insulted.

Was that his way of denying me? My eyes widen a bit but I look down.

"That's because I want to slow dance with you." He whispers in my ears.

I look up at him and his eyes didn't say "I want to laugh and to be silly." They said something else. But I don't know what.

I nod my head in agreement and wrap my arm around his neck. He pulls me close and I rest my head on his chest. I smile into his chest and enjoy the warmth that is radiating off him. The boy I have liked for so long who is my best friend is slow dancing with me.
I stopped enjoying the dance when I heard sobbing coming from Alfred.

"Alfie?" I gently push head up to face me. Tears were streaming down his face. "What's wrong?" The hero looks broken. I grab his hand and lead him outside to the backyard of Gilbert's house. I sit him on the bench and I drag a chair so I sit in front of him. "What's wrong, Al?" I ask again.

He doesn't answer. He just grabs my hand in reply. "I was so happy and enjoying my time with you. Then it hit me… Again like it has every time I see you and every time you pop up in my head." He pauses.

"What do you mean?" I look at his moping head confusingly.

"Every time I look at you, think of you, or even hear your name. It hits me that the girl I am in love with is the most amazing girl in the world and I don't have her." He sniffles..

He loves me? He… HE LOVES ME!

I stand up and I kick my chair back from behind me. Alfred looks up at me with saddened eyes.

"I'm sorry-"

I smash my lips onto his and don't regret anything. Why would I? The boy I have a huge crush on likes me back!

I back up and break the kiss.

Alfred looks at me and he smiles.. "So does that mean I'm an idiot for assuming things and for crying?" Alfred asks.

"No." I sigh. I smack him in the head. "It means.." I look down. "It means I love you back you moron! I have liked you for so long and you thought I didn't! Ugh you're so stupid sometimes! How could I not -" Alfred was now on his feet and lifts my chin and looks me in the eyes.

"You love me back?" He asks.

I look at him in the eyes and I feel my face tint. "Yes." I grumble..

"It's because.." He paused for a moment. "I'm sexy and I know it…" He whispers in my ear.

As much as I want to slap him in the head I burst out laughing….

"You're such a dork, Alfie." I kiss his cheek.

"I'm your dorky hero, (y/n)." He whispers before kissing my lips. "And that's never going to change." He smiles at me.

"Forever and always." I giggle.

2 Years later:

"Remember the song I used to sing when we first started?" Alfie asks. I turn to him. Of course. He would never let me live it down gosh.

"I'm Sexy and I Know It." I quote.

"What else do you remember when we first started dating?" He asks as he continues painting my room.

Since we both are now graduates of high school and college is a few months away, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to repaint my room and give it a new look. Alfred, being the best boyfriend ever, volunteered to help.

"Uh? What are you getting at?" I asked him..

"Remember when I told you I would be your hero?" He questions.

"Of course I do!" I laugh as I continue painting my walls. I feel a tap on my leg and I turn…

I gasp.

Alfred is kneeling.. With a ring that has a heart shape diamond on it.

"(Y/N) I love you so much. You have been the love of my life since I developed a little crush on you in 6th grade. You have been the love of my life since we were sixteen and I got to say you were mine. This ring is my heart. I'm giving you my heart and I beg for you to never break this hero's heart because I would not know what to do with myself if you left. So, (y/n)… Will you marry me?" Alfred asks with tears spilling.

Tears are pouring from my eyes.

"YES, ALFIE! YOU'RE MY HERO BABY!" I cry out. Alfred picks me up in his arms and kisses me over and over again.

"Took you long enough!" We hear a voice shout from the door. Alfred put me down and we both look towards the door.

Our friends, Lovino, Ludwig, Gilbert, Feliciano, Matthew, and Arthur, are standing there with smiles plastered on their faces.

"Got it on camera" I turn to see kiku with a camera and he gives me a thumbs up.

Alfred grabs my hand and slides the ring on my finger. I giggle and kiss him again.

"YOU BASTARDOS GET A ROOM!" Lovino groans.

"This is my room." I counter.

"True. Okay I'm out!" Lovino walks away and the rest of the gang laugh and follow suit.

"You're my hero." I kiss Alfred's nose. "Forever and always babe."
