Hello. So after what feels like forever, I've finally started a continuation to my other APH one shots. I hope to turn this into a chapter fic. The only problem is I have trouble up dating on time, (unless I get enough motivation.)
Canada stared down into the depths of his mug. "Sooo, um… Canada" Matthew looked up so his violet blue eyes locked with deep green. It was obvious that the Brit was slightly uncomfortable, probably because he kept forgetting his name. To be honest, Matthew was surprised when Arthur had shown up at his door. England usually didn't remember him long enough to talk to him for more than a few minutes.
"Y-yes." He smiled trying his best to make Arthur comfortable. The Brit fidgeted in his chair trying to avoid eye contact.
"I was talking with Alfred and he…" the Brit punctured his speech by clearing his throat. "He mentioned that he forgot about your birthday. Is that true?" Matthew resisted the urge to roll his eyes. So that's why he had come over.
"Yes, in f-fact everyone forgot. It w-was the first of last month. But t-that's okay. I'm used to it." He said not letting his smile drop. To be honest he had long gotten past that incident.
"No it is not okay." Arthur said straightening up, trying his best to look like a gentleman. "I have wronged you and I insist that I make it up to you. How about I treat you to a real meal? Unlike that tripe that Alfred insists on shoving down everyone's throats." The grin on Matthews face slowly dropped. Before the younger had a chance to reply, Arthur spoke again. "Don't worry; I myself will not be cooking. Perhaps you know a good place that serves suitable food."
"If i-it's not too much t-to ask could I maybe t-take a rain check." Canada asked slightly sheepishly. Arthur looked at him shocked, he was sure that Canada would be overjoyed that he remembered him and wanted to spend time with him. "It's j-just there`s a hockey g-game tonight and I kinda-"
"Ah a sporting event, well then I would love to stay and watch it with you." Arthur replied trying his best to smile. Truth was he didn't like most sports with the exception of football (the real kind, not the bastardised American version) and cricket. But he wanted to make it up to Matthew for not being there on the most important day of the year to him. Come to think of it, he couldn't remember the last time that he was there for Canada's birthday. Which only made him feel worse. After all he was the boy's former caretaker; he was supposed to be there for him.
"You like hockey Arthur? Who's your favorite team in the NHL?" The younger nation asked curiously. However it only made England feel like he was being tested. The Brit racked his brain trying to remember everything he could about the sport, but for the most part drawing a blank. "I suppose tha-" a loud knock at the door caused them both to jump. Matthew slipped out of his chair and walked over to the door to open it.
On the other side, smiling like child expecting a reward was Russia. Arthur froze. What the hell was Russia doing here? "Я здесь! И я принес водку!" Ivan cheerfully announced holding up a couple of bottles of vodka.
As he entered the house, Matthew wrapped his arms around him in a brief friendly hug. Arthurs jaw dropped. "Hey Ivan g-glad you could make it. Oh Arthur m-might be joining us." He said as he took the bottles of liquor. "I'll go g-get some glasses."
Once Canada had left the room, England turned towards Russia. His large eyebrows furrowed together forming one gigantic brow. "Alright what are up to?" He hissed angrily at the Russian. Ivan just smiled his creepy grin at the Brit.
"What do you mean?" Russia replied innocently. "I am simply here to enjoy watching a hockey game with a friend." England continued to stare Russia down until Canada returned with glasses and a couple of beers.
"You guys c-coming? It's g-going to start s-soon." He said.
A/N: ya I know it's not that good, but first off I need to know which direction I should take this in. when I originally started writing I never intended to write romance of any kind. But now I'm kinda leaning towards.
So I'm going to ask you the public (well of .) should I continue this as a just a friendship/hurt/comfort fic or an eventual yaoi fic (more on relationship then just sex).
Please comment. I need advice.
