Whispering Magic

The reason why Mathew talks in a whisper is because his voice is magic when spoken aloud. His voice can control any magical beings close by, any that hear him, and the problem with that is that nations certainly aren't human, nor is the company they keep like England and Norway's fairies.

The reason for his silence is simple. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. Not ever again. Not after what had happened last time. He had never meant to hurt his own brother. Not ever. All he could say now...was that he was lucky England was there and Norway had also been over for a visit, and that they had wiped everyone's memories of the incident.

He knew and they had known that he would have become a social pariah if anyone had remembered (once he momentarily gave them back their memories so that they knew the situation... so that they were more pliable and easier to control and commanded them to help him). So now he was the only one who knew about it, and yet he'd still managed to turn out to be a social wreck, just because he was always flinching away from conversations and others in general.

And it was all because of his darn throat. Well, his vocal chords.

Why couldn't he have had a more general magic control like the members of the Magic Club? Why did no one else seem to be afflicted by an unruly power?

It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair...

The other nations finally see him for a while and they go out to a bar but Mathew is horrified to find that he can't control his volume and speaks loudly while at the bar (he has a crush on Gilbert) and knows that it is his magic that makes Gilbert, who had only ever seen him as a friend, start flirting with him, and so flees home where he makes Kumajirou go crawling away when he comes to investigate and sees the crying Canada.

"I just don't want to hurt you guys." Mathew choked out as he stayed staring into the fire with tears rolling down his eyes.

And that was when Mathew decided that speaking quietly just wasn't enough. He couldn't have any interaction with his fellow nations. Ever again. It was just too dangerous, for them and especially for him. He didn't want to make anyone be forced to do anything. It was just immoral.

Mathew sniffled one more time, and resolved to call his Prime Minister in the morning to make the announcement that Canada would no longer attend any further meetings. He could just respond to emails and write notes after all...

With that decided, Mathew fell asleep.

And, the next morning, his Prime Minister was called up and the arrangements made up.

As far as Mathew was concerned, he would never see any of his fellow nations again. He would never see his brother again, his Papa, England...or Gilber-Prussia.

Especially not Prussia.
