The Secrets Hidden Within The Dairies Of The Nations

Locked Out And Couple Therapy

Matthew paced back and forth in front of Arthur and Francis' room while a few others nation quietly talked to each other. He wanted so badly to be in there taking care of his baby brother but it would seem he was unwanted. 

After Arthur and Francis had gotten Alfred to lye down the American's had finally stopped mumbling and his eyes had finally closed. However as soon as they did things became much more complicated. 

Everyone had agreed to take shifts so that they could watch over Alfred, with the exception of Francis who refused to leave the American's side. But things became complicated when Alfred's body seemed to react negatively to certain people being in the room 

His body would jerk sporadically and he would only stop if the person left the room. It was so terrify that they all agreed that those specific people would have to stay out of the room. And unfortunately for Matthew he was one of those people, which at first had pissed him of because Ivan of all people could go in with no problem but he couldn't. But after he had cooled down he realized that he had no one to blame but himself. 

Arthur, who also wasn't able to enter the room, had explained that the reason that Alfred reacted like that was a subconscious self-preservation tactic to protect the body from people his mind viewed as a threat. It killed Matthew to know that his baby brother was afraid of him. 

He glanced up when he saw Gilbert leaving the room while Lovino entered, he was able to catch a glimpse of inside the room and sat Alfred lying still on the bed while Francis fretted over him and Vlad sat in the bed side chair in a meditative pose while he held one of Alfred's hands. 

Since both Arthur and Lukas couldn't enter the room it was up to Vlad to make sure Alfred didn't become permanently trapped inside his own mind. While he couldn't pull the American out he could send an incorporeal version of himself into Alfred's mind so that he could convince the American to come out on his own. 

"Has Vlad made any progress?" Arthur asked and Gilbert just sadly shook his head. 

"No, he is still trying to find a way past Alfred's shield without having to tear them down" He explained causing a few people to sigh. 

"If only we could go in there, we would be able to help him" Lukas said frustration surprising quite a few people. Matthias reached over and pulled the fuming Norwegian into a hug. 

"I know and it sucks but you just need to have faith in Vlad" He whispered softly causing Lukas' shoulder's to sag in defeat before he glanced at Allistor. 

"Allistor can't you do anything?'" He asked but the Scot just shook his head. 

"I'm no good at this kind of magic, if I were to try I could fuck up Alfred and Vlad's mind" He explained sadly causing everyone to slump slightly. 

"Let's just hope Vlad can do this" Arthur muttered as he stared at the now closed door with a frown on his face.

Vlad opened his eyes tiredly as he yawned, he had been trying to bypass Alfred's shields for 6 hours straight and it was draining him. He glanced down at Alfred who was still in a coma like state, he just couldn't believe that the kid had such powerful shields not even Arthur had shields this strong. He looked and saw that Francis had fallen asleep on his bed, there was heavy bags under the Frenchman's eyes so he assumed that the man had been up for a very long time. 

He turned slightly when he heard the door open and smiled sleepily when he saw Vash was standing there. He gave the tired Romania a soft smile as he walked up to him. Thankfully Vash was one of the people able to enter the room.
