I always see Arthur as the older one, or at least being in an authoritarian role, in AUs (which is kinda fitting but still!)
With a school AU setting, I'd like to see uncontrollable/violent/wild/troubled/whatever punk!Arthur finally being forced to go see a counsellor by his school as they're tired of his behaviour and running out of money to pay for all the damages he causes. What the school doesn't know is that over the sessions, a relationship has been forming between Arthur and the counsellor. One that's not so innocent and certainly not appropriate.
The counsellor can be anyone you'd like, with whatever pairing. USUK, FrUK, Prussia/UK, Russia/UK, Spain/UK, heck whatever! Go wild anons, I'm not particular on pairings.

The first time the school had forced Arthur to a counsellor, he threw up over her shoes. To be fair, he couldn't remember much after; screams of my precious Blahniks and someone grabbing his collar. It got foggy after that.
It did not end well, is the point.
Arthur looks at the wall, covered with posters about plays, articles on students, clubs. He is waiting, and Arthur has never been the patient sort.
He stands up, kicking his legs out.
About a month ago-a good half a year after the previous counsellor incident-Arthur had been found smashing windows. It wasn't that big a deal; he only did it to the abandoned classrooms. It was a good way to relieve stress when pounding on Francis wasn't.
The school staff didn't seem to agree. Health and safety rings like a bell in his ears. Inappropriate behaviour.
Major attitude problems.What a crock of shit. Arthur just-likes to do what he wants to. Which is smoke, and drink, and skip classes. The school has nothing to hold against him, anyway: parents missing, brothers scattered, with no

Arthur glares at the man's retreating back, which only serves to irritate him more. His walk is fucking American, too, all swagger and loose and is that an old military jacket? Weird. It only makes his shoulders look broader.
(Arthur, for the first time in three years, feels very smallHe brushes it off, along with his cigarette, and curses his counsellor for being such a lazy arse

He drops his bag with a fumph, and dust rises in a grey rain. This room must have been off the cleaning schedule.
"You're under K, right?" asks Alfred, head under the desk. Papers rattle. "Kay-ei-kay-ei-aha, here it is! Oh."
It's Arthur's record. He thinks it's impressive, in its own right. Very... thick. A little swell of pride starts in Arthur, for very much the wrong reasons.
"Wow," Alfred says, marvelling at the bursting folder. "W. Wow."
Arthur can't stop himself from laughing. Most people react in the same way, but it's somehow more satisfying to see that smile falter.
"Thank you," says Arthur, sarcasm butter-thick. "I try to keep things interesting"I can see that

Not!OP absolutely loves this. The characterisation is brilliant, and, oh god, if America was a counsellor, this is exactly the kind he would be. Please keep going with it, I`m looking forward to the next bit already!

Still not OP seconds the fact that this looks great so far. I'm biased because I'm a sucker for Punk!UK but I really dig the characterization you've got going here. Super in character without it seeming forced and atop of that I really like your style. Looking forward to seeing how this story turns out.

I dunno if OP is still around, but we're all enjoying your characterization, anyway! And damn, I really haven't seen this particular dynamic dynamic between these two guys before. :O Looking forward to seeing more of Alfred and how he deals with Arthur. And oh Arthur, why so damn jaded? <3

"Are you going for a drink?" he asks, tapping ash off his cigarette tip. It spatters white across his jacket, freckles across the pavement. "Do you have any," he winks and rubs his fingers together, "money to spare?"
Arthur makes a disparaging noise in the back of his throat. "Do you think I do?" He kicks a stray can out of the way, watching it skip down the gutter, and remembers. "Ah, I had to go see the new counsellor today."
Francis gives him a pretty, side-long look. "How badly did it go?"
"American. Arrogant. Young, I think," Arthur muses, pocketing his hands. "He's certainly different."
Francis smiles around his cigarette. "If you change American to English, he's a dead ringer for you."
Arthur grinds his heel into Francis' foot. The grunt he gets is nothing short of music.

He wheedles some cash from Francis, in the end-he isn't as broke as Arthur, but he's stingy. Francis is the type who'd rather spend anyone else's money than his own. Arthur is the opposite, but it's hard to spend your own when you have positively

Mr. Jones looks clearly affronted. "Yes, there is a problem, as a matter of fact." His foot taps, a mockery of the earlier knocking. "Do you know what time it is?"
Arthur shrugs.
"It's the afternoon! You were supposed to see me this morning, remember?"
Arthur shrugs.
"I mean, it's not like we can't still have the session," Mr. Jones goes on, a little desperately, "but I would prefer not having to come over to your home to drag you into school!"
Arthur shrugs.
"Were you still asleep? C'mon, Art-hey!" A finger points, rudely, at the centre of his forehead. "Are you even listening

YES. Seriously, I love this so much, and how its slightly creepy that America goes over to his house [because no school counsellor should do that], but Engalnd doesn't really notice. And France. Just... France.
