So, this is a Hetanic fanfiction (Hetalia human AU Titanic)
It isn't really after the movie Titanic, though I have snatched some stuff from there. Basically it's the story of Titanic´s maiden voyage from different views, the first chapters will be about the Captain, Arthur, the Chief Mate, Alfred, the first Officer, Matthew, and a little about the naval architect, Emil. The pairings for those chapters are, UsUk, Franada and a little HongIce.
Later chapters will be about other characters, you can for example look forward to some, DenNor, Spamano, GerIta, AusHun/PruHun, SuFin...maybe some more I don't know
The names or positions or ages or relations or anything of that has nothing to do with the real Titanic, I just took the characters I thought would fit in the best and putted them in different positions on the boat.
If I am using the wrong words, or positions or anything, please excuse me for that. English is not my first language and I don't know a shit about big boats or how they work. I will just write whatever I want. Deal with it^^
(If you don't know what Titanic is…then please check it up because seriously, that is something you should know)

And warnings for, character death(Its Titanic what did you think), suicide, yaoi boyxboy relationship (well..its hetalia) and bad grammar and warnings for everything, so now no one can complain.

It was the 10th of April, year 1912

It was finally the day, the day when the great boat Titanic would leave for her maiden voyage from Southampton UK to New York USA. Titanic was the best and largest boat that ever had existed, nothing could beat her in luxury or comfort.
She would take more than 2200 passengers, some of them was among the wealthiest persons in the world.
Some was immigrants, traveling to America with hope of a better life.

I, Arthur Kirkland were her captain.

And right now I stood on deck, giving orders to the crew. Everything had to be perfect. This far, it was. Titanic left right on time in front of a crowd of over thousand people who was there to tell farewell to friends and family who traveled with the huge majestic boat.
"Check the speed!" "Go to your positions!" "Someone help the 1st class to find their cabins!"
The crew shouted orders to each other and to the passengers.
I was proudly watching as the boat left for more open water, slowly increasing the speed. By my side was the chief mate; Alfred F Jones, the First Officer; Matthew Williams and the naval architect; Emil Steilsson who had been planning Titanic from the very beginning when she only was a dream.
"She´s going great this far Captain" Alfred said when we were almost out of sight from land.
I nodded, very pleased with how things had been working out.
"Of course she is, she was built by the best" Emil commented, he wasn't boasting he just said the truth.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Alfred, Matthew! Keep her going in right direction, I have to wish some of the passengers welcome on board" I said and walked out of the wheelhouse.
I walked slowly on deck, heading for the cabins of 1st class. By ´some passengers` I had meant the famous and wealthy families, who had payed a whole lot of money for their tickets on Titanic. Those families lived in cabins that were closer to apartments with many big beautiful rooms, a big contrast to 3rd class who only had a bed and a table.
But 1st class was famous and I would make sure they had the best, than they would talk good about Titanic once they arrived to America. And a personal visit by the captain of the boat was something they would expect.

I knocked on the door to the Oxenstierna family´s cabin. I remembered them as nice people, Belward the headmaster of the family and his ´wife` Tino and their adopted son Peter.
The door was opened by Tino, who smiled and asked me to step in.
"Thanks…my lord" I nodded to Tino and walked in to the big bright room. It was as big as three of the cabins the man in my crew had and it was only the living room.
"I just came to ask if everything is to your pleasure this far, my lord" I politely said to Tino.
"Dad, there is strange guy in our cabin" someone said in the next room, the voice telling that it must´ve been young Peter.
A few seconds later, Belward came in with Peter after him.
"Ah, C´ptain Arthur, welcome" he said when he spotted me and Peter bowed a little shy behind him.
"I just came here to ask if everything is to yours pleasure my lords" I asked again looking at Belward this time.
He nodded "Yes, it is, thank you captain"
I talked to them a little, mostly for politely, before I excused me and left. It was many famous people left to visit.
But I would never understand how cute and nice little Tino could marry the silent and kinda… creepy Belward. But, they had done a good job with raising Peter this far.
None of the other families were as nice as them, they were boring and prude. And some of them criticized Titanic, they had absolutely no reason to do that! It was nothing wrong with her, she was simply perfect.

It was really not the first time I was the captain of a big boat with many passengers. And even if none of my earlier boats had been this big or this majestic, it was not so much difference actually. Everything went on fine, as it looked now, we would reach New York earlier than what we had said. The speed was a little too high, it would be difficult to stop in time, but here on the middle of the sea was it nothing to stop for. Except if it would come an ice berg, but this far it looked good.

A sense of guilt hit me while I was walking by the lifeboats. It was not near enough boats for everyone on board. Barely even enough for half of them. But Titanic couldn't sink, so it was no need for lifeboats.

Later on the evening, the first day of Titanics maiden voyage, I had decided to invite Alfred, Emil and… right, Matthew, why was it so hard to remember that guy´s name?..
However I had invited them to dinner in my cabin, only out of polite.

"T-this tasted great captain" Matthew said, or more likely whispered.
"Yep, it really did!" Alfred interrupted with a big smile, not staying to the polite unwritten rules.
I nodded to both of them, I was not the one too cook though, even if I was an excellent chef. But I didn't have the time to cook by myself, so I had hired a guy…named…something, and I had to agree; he had done a great job with the food.

"Im sorry captain, but I have to excuse myself and leave early" Emil spoke up, he had been silent during the whole dinner.
I looked at him and said with a calm voice "And why do you have to go?"
He came up with some bad excuse, that he needed to check on some of the maps or something, and quickly left, it was clear that he not was comfortable with company. Short after he got out the dessert came in; it was some sort of pancakes with syrup and ice cream.
"oh p-pancakes, great" Matthew whispered, I had almost forgot that he sat there.
Alfred, being the spoiled brat he was, took almost half of the pancakes and ice cream, I ignored his bad behaviors, it was not my job to care. And I really tried my best to not look at him, it brought up to many memories, from too far ago to matter anymore.
Instead I concentrated on the dessert, not even trying to keep up a conversation.
None of them did either, except for that Alfred sometimes said things just out of the blue, almost always things that not was okay to say in that situation, where he was a uest and should be quiet as long as the host, me, was.
When I looked up again it was only me and Alfred left. M..Mat..Mit…uhm the First Officer must have left without me noticing.
"This tasted amazing!" Alfred suddenly said.
I didn't answer at all and when I saw that he had ate and a server had taken away the empty plates I nodded to the big clock on the wall.
"Maybe you should leave now Alfred" I said as polite and cold as I could.
He nodded and stood up, I following him to the door and showing him out.
But at the door he stopped and turned around, his blue clear eyes looking at me and making it impossible for me to look away.
"Or maybe I should stay"
That was the last drop, it was no way I could let him say that and not care. If that would have been the only thing he had said this evening I would have just shut the door in his face and forget about it, but on top of everything else he had said, it was not ok. He had been saying un polite things durin the whole dinner and it was wrong of me to ignore it. Well, then I shouldn't.
"Alfred, there is a thing called politeness and behavior. I don't know what you think you are, but here on this boat you are subordinated me! And the fact that is our past don't matter here, to me it seems like you think that you can act however you want. But that is not the case, and if you keep not caring about politeness I will get you demoted!" I might have overreacted a little bit.
Alfred stared at me completely silent. Then he shook his head.
"No Captain, I know very well what my pose on this boat is and I´m sorry for my ´bad behaviors` but you must admit that you are affected by, as you called it, the fact that is our past, aren't you?" He tilted his head a little at the last question.
It was my turn to stare at him now, before I caught up with myself and answered.
"No, I am not, that is the past and it´s forgotten now, even if you can´t accept that, so could you just…" I didn't get to say anything more, because Alfred leaned forward and planted a quick, short kiss on my lips. Before I had the chance to react he then took a step back and saluted me with a wide grin.
"Goodnight Captain" He said and quickly walked away down the deck to the place where the crew had their cabins. He seemed completely unaffected of what he just had done, he walked calmly like it was nothing weird or wrong with it at all.

I shut the door and sat down in the closest chair, thoughts racing through my mind.
What the bloody hell did just happen?
How dared he!? That shitty little brat!
What did that mean?
What should I do to him… most logic would be to demand him once we reached New York.
Why did it affect me like that?

I shouldn't care like this, I should be mad and demand him and then not care about it anymore.

One single little kiss, and suddenly all memories came back.
From almost four years ago…

Well, well, first chapter done, I don't have a clue on how many it will be. But probably a lot, cause I have a lot of ideas. Hope you liked it, please R&R.
Next chapter will be a little side-story of Arthurs and Alfred´s past, because… no reasona at all I just wanna wright it
