Five Years after World War II

By: Theressa

Chapter One

"Hey, Alfred, did you hear about the new teacher for Japanese class? Rumors has it that this teacher actually is a full-blooded Japanese!" excitedly asked a Canadian student to an American student. These two students looked a lot alike; blond hair, blue eyes, glasses. The only difference between these students was the Canadian's hair was a bit longer than the Americans.

"Is that so, Matthew?"" replied the bored American, walking through the hallways of his college to get to his next class.

Matthew sighed and asked, "You aren't interested in hearing this news, isn't that right, brother?"

"Oooh! You are on top of the game, little brother. I'll give you ten points for getting it right. Congratulations!" sarcastically rejoiced Alfred.

Matthew sighed, a sign of giving up on his older brother. Then, he stared at Alfred with sad, lost puppy eyes. Alfred got confused with the look. He was taken back at his younger brother's look.

"You aren't the Alfred that I went to high school with during freshman year. You changed a lot because of that . . . You're not my big brother. Who are you? Where is Alfred? Did he stay in the World Wars? Or is he still trapped in World War II?" gently whispered the Canadian in a cheerless tone.

"Matthew . . ." sympathetically said Alfred, but then his tone and expression changed to an alerting voice. "Shut up, you idiot! Nobody knows about that, remember? Not even the teachers from our high school or here! Mathew! I'm going to die!"

The American's brother watched with wonder and managed to smile at his brother's idiotic nature. "There he is! There's the stupid idiot I love!" exclaimed the happy Canadian brother.

"I'm not stupid! I'm . . . just not as . . . smart as you . . . Shut up, Matthew." Alfred ordered Matthew, irritation clearly audible in the American's voice as his back became a hutch back and walked away from his smiling brother.

"Yes, yes, brother. Whatever you say." Answered Matthew.

Alfred rolled his eyes eye and stopped slumping. "Anyways . . . Let's get to class."

"So . . . you're excited about who the new Japanese teacher is?" asked Alfred's brother who surprisingly was next to him in a flash.

"No." simply answered the blue-eyed adult. "I couldn't care less about who was teaching what class, but who ever it is, better not piss me off or I might have to cut their fingers off.

"Where'd Alfred go? This asshole is back." Gloomily asked Matthew and then he turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Brother! Where are yo—"

Alfred covered Matthew's mouth and pulled him into a hug, but the hug was nothing special. It was just a way to keep his younger brother in check.

"Shut up, already! I'm right here! Alfred did not go anywhere!" the blond university student told his young brother, looking like a loving brother, but his eyes were twitching and he gritted his teeth.

Matthew giggled. He had won the first battle, but he wanted to win the war. However, he did not believe he could win this war if it was against his older brother. Matthew was also in the World Wars, but he did not fight as much as Alfred did. The Canadian was not fearless like his older brother, but he was not an asshole like Alfred, either. And for that, he was glad he was not. Matthew could live the rest of his life hiding, but he just did not want to be like his older brother. Many people hated Alfred, but Matthew could not find away to hate his idiotic brother.

"Alfred! Matthew! What are you guys doing here? If you're late for Japanese class, you're going to get detention!" called out an Albino student with red-violet eyes and platinum-blond hair, racing towards the two brothers, but suddenly, the younger brother ripped himself from Alfred's arms, causing Alfred to be confused about Matthew's actions again.

"H-hi there, G-Gilbert! Sorry! W-we're going to class already. Don't worry about a thing. We're l-leaving!" answered Matthew, rubbing the back of his neck as a slight blush crept up his face. Then, he turned to Alfred and grabbed him by his arm and started walking. "Bye, Gilbert! See you later!"

Alfred got what just happened. "You're in love with Gilbert." Realized Alfred, making sure he said it loud enough for his brother to hear.

"D-don't be s-stupid! Why would I b-be in l-love with him? He th-thinks he's much m-more awesome than everyone e-else! W-who would f-fall in l-love with him?" nervously asked Mathew, walking faster that soon enough, it turned into jogging, but Alfred pulled him so he could walk the same pace as he was.

"There's nothing to be scared off, Matthew! Being in love is a wonderful thing to experience!" happily cheered the excited Alfred.

"Could we get to class? I have never gotten a detention yet and I'm not planning to get one now. Please, walk faster." Matthew quickly changed the subject, requesting his older brother to hurry up.

Alfred merely smirked in response, but Matthew knew that look. "This is most definitely Alfred." Whimpered the scared Canadian.

"There's no need to fear! The awesome hero is here!" declared the cheeky American.

I have to apologize!

I have not seen the anime, but a I have a preety good idea on how they look.

My friend at school, she will not stop talking about them.

And I promised I would write a story about Alfred and Kiku. . .

So here it is!

Enjoy, Gabby and everyone else!

Review, please!
