Hello everyone, this started because of a drabble I thought up right as I was going to bed the other night. The drabble will make it into the story eventually but I wanted it to make it into more than just a drabble. It will be MatthewxIvan eventually. This is my first shot at a longer story so don't kill me if it sucks. xD Anyway, Im going to shut up now and let you read. R&R

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, sadly.

(xD Almost forgot the disclaimer!)

Matthew walked to the world meeting with his polar bear companion, Kumajirou. As he walked into the room he was nearly knocked over by his twin, Alfred. In fact, he would have been knocked over had Ivan not been almost directly behind him, stopping his fall.

The tall Russian blinked in surprise and looked down. "Hello Comrade Matvy!" He said with that childish smile of his. "How nice of you to drop in."

"O-oh! S-s-sorry!" Matthew stuttered righting himself quickly, terrified that he had fallen into Russia. Ivan opened his mouth to say something but before he could get the first word out, Alfred realized what he had hit.

"Oh! Mattie! How are you bro?" He asked cheerily, wrapping one arm around Matthew's shoulders and practically dragging him to the other side of the room.

"I-I'm fine Alfred." Matthew replied quietly, wishing his brother would go bug someone else, yet silently thanking him for getting him away from Russia. "H-How are you?"

"Jeez, your voice is so quiet Mattie! How do you get anyone to listen to you?" Alfred stated obnoxiously. "Anyway, I'm awesome as always! Well, other than the economy, but that sucks for everyone right now so it's not that big of a deal. Nothing I can't handle!" He grins and flashes a peace sign. "Heroes can handle anything!"

Matthew sighed inwardly, vainly hoping that Alfred wouldn't get started on how he had most recently been someone's hero.

Just as Alfred was taking a breath to start, Arthur walked in and began the meeting. Silently thanking him, Matthew walked to the table with his brother and sat down next to him, unnoticed by almost everyone except for his polar bear and one perplexed Russian, although Matthew was unaware of the latter persons attention. Ivan stared at him curiously from across the table wondering why no one seemed to take notice of the second largest nation there. At one point, Matthew had tried to add his input and, as per usual, everyone continued the debate, not hearing him. Noticing this, the Russian frowned inwardly. He knew he had heard the Canadian boy's words, but no one else appeared to have heard him. Ivan stared at said Canadian and puzzled over it until Arthur stood up and spoke.

"That concludes today's meeting, next time we will be meeting at America's house. That is all." And with that, he turned and left the room, Alfred following after him eagerly.

Matthew rolled his eyes and stood up, somewhat relieved. At least his brother's house wasn't too far away. After awhile it started to get annoying when he had to travel a long way for these meetings. Not that Arthur's house was far away, but last time it had been at Yao's. Smiling slightly, Matthew left the room and was almost halfway home before he realized he had left his notepad back in the meeting room. He paused, debating. He could always ask Arthur to bring it to him at the next meeting but that would mean waiting for it. Sighing, the Canadian turned around and went back to retrieve his notebook.

AN: Well, there's the first chapter! It's shot, but the chapters will get longer as I continue this. R&R please! Your reviews make my day and keeps me thinking that maybe my writing doesn't suck as much as I think it does. =p Also, for those who read that Gerita poem I did, I'll get to Italy's P.O.V. eventually. I've got writer's block as far as that's concerned right now. I dunno, I just can't think of what to write. xD Anyway, thanks for reading!

Au revoir!

JWR ^_^
