Tony and Alfred best friendism for the tragic reason that in my opinion, everyone who has ever loved Alfred has also resented him.

There's Matthew, whose deep love for Alfred comes with an equally deep resentment of the attention and supposed adoration Alfred gets. He's equally likely to punch someone for maligning his brother or be the one doing the maligning. He can't seem to stop the part of himself that loves seeing his brother brought low.

There's Arthur, whose love for Alfred comes hand in hand with his anger about Alfred's Revolution. He cares about Alfred but also takes pleasure in seeing Alfred humiliated if he can say 'it wouldn't have happened if you had never left me'.

There's Kiku, whose love for Alfred comes with baggage. Whether or not Alfred was involved with big decisions during World War II, there's the simple fact that who Alfred represents has hurt Kiku's people. Maybe they're completely over it, maybe Kiku doesn't blame Alfred, but even then, sometimes Kiku is just tired of Alfred, the differences between them not always charming.

There's Ivan, whose love could be obsession and whose obsession could be love, who looks at this Nation who never suffered like he had to and gets the urge to crush that innocence even as he wants to protect it.

Tony doesn't feel any of that towards Alfred. To him, Alfred isn't the attention he gets from others, or a singular event in time, or the differences between them, or the things he didn't suffer. He's not his government's decisions. He's the guy who helped him rebuild his spaceship, then got him so addicted to burgers and video games he eventually decided to make Earth home. He's the guy who showed him ice skating and surfing and the joys of things that aren't high tech.

Who knows, maybe Tony was an outcast in his own home planet, but I just can't help but feel a lot about the idea that Alfred, who is so affable, connects most with somebody who isn't even from the same planet as him. Never experienced an uncomplicated love until it crash lands in his country.
