    Summary

    Arthur blinked back late morning light filtering through gauzy white curtains and smiled. The sheets were soft and expensive, and the room smelled like roses and wine. And sure, he had only a few moments to enjoy it, before he had to come up with an excuse, a meeting or an emergency or.... He sighed.

    Francis stirred slightly in his sleep, nose sniffling into the hotel pillows adorably.

    Arthur didn't want to leave. He didn't want to slip on the clothes on the floor silently, step out into the cold Paris air, face the late morning sun and his inevitable hangover. Buy a black tea at a cafe where he'd have to speak French and pretend he didn't miss the pretty man still sleeping in a hotel room in the middle of downtown.

    **

    "Arthur?" Francis gathered up all of the Englishman that he could, "it's okay, it's going to be okay. I know it probably hurts right now, but you've done this before, it will pass."

    **

    Based mainly on the headcannon that when a country's leader dies they experience the death, (and in this case can retain a scar from it). Arthur has a lot of scars.

    Summary

    England is curled up against the telephone box, shaking so hard he's practically convulsing. Cradling himself. Scratching incessantly at his arm. The cold, hard light of the streetlamps aren't a flattering look on anyone, but they render England downright corpselike, his face pale and gaunt. His mouth hangs open, lips dry and cracked, chest heaving with laboured breaths.

    "Oh, cariad," Wales whispers, voice breaking. "What have you done?"

    It's the 80s. England comes home for the first time in months.
