Theme: 01 Holding Hands

Pairing: PruCan

Summary: Gilbert and Matthew are on a date at an amusement park, and Gil wants to go on a scary roller coaster….But Matt is scared of heights!

Matthew bounced up and down slightly in nervousness. Damn, this was hard. The stupid Prussian was making him wait an extra...He checked his watch. Fifteen minutes! An extra fifteen minutes for him to show up. An extra fifteen minutes to wait in nervous agony, as he always did when he was meeting up with Gilbert. The albino never failed to be late to anything.

He glanced down. He thought he'd worn appropriate clothing. What was appropriate for an amusement park? Matt wondered. He had on a short sleeved red hoodie and jeans, along with sneakers. The hoodie had a maple leaf on it-Matt's quiet patriotism to his native country, Canada. He supposed Gilbert's native country would be Germany, but he always insisted that he was from Prussia. Thus Matt had unconsciously started thinking of him as a Prussian instead of a German.

"Hey! Matt! Oi! Over here, Matt!"

Matt turned around and bit his lip, trying to keep from laughing. Gilbert was desperately trying to sprint over to where he was, but was being blocked by other people. His white hair was messy and unkept, as always, and he wore a red plaid scarf over a black T-shirt with a white cross on it and white jeans. Matthew decided the wait was worth it. Gilbert looked too good for the wait to not be worth it. Gilbert finally made his way to Matt (accompanied by curses and loud yelling).

"Leid, Matt! I had to make sure mein younger bruder got home! He was too hungover to drive! I made it over here as quick as I could! You haven't waited long right?" He panted, clearly worried about being late. Matt smiled despite himself. "Well, I wouldn't call fifteen minutes long. But really, we need to work on your punctuality, Gil." He chided in his soft voice.

Gil turned red with embarrassment, making the rest of his body look strange, since he was naturally so pale. "Whatever." He muttered. Matt laughed and ruffled Gil's hair. It was soft, like feathers. "Oh come on. You're here, right? Let's go have some fun!" He said.

Gilbert glanced up and flashed Matt his huge, trademark grin. Matt felt his face get warm at it. He loved that grin. Gilbert looked around excitedly, looking like a little kid, Matt decided, amused. The albino tugged on Matthew's shirt, pointing to an evil-looking roller-coaster. "Let's do that one!" Gilbert exclaimed. Matt felt the warmth drain out of his face. Uh-oh. He hadn't mentioned his fear of heights to his boyfriend, not to mention the terrified screams of the people on that ride. "U-Um...Gil…" He protested quietly.

Gilbert glanced down at Matt. His face was blanched and he was eying the ride he wanted to go on with a fearful eye. Gil furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, Matt. Are you scared of roller coasters?" He asked. Matt shook his head. "What then?" Gil asked, confused. Matt bit his lip.

Gilbert stared. "You're scared of heights, aren't you?" He asked wonderingly. Surprisingly, he hadn't expected Matt to have this particular fear. Matt nodded, chewing on his lip. He had a habit of doing this, and Gilbert thought it was extremely cute. He smiled and slid an arm around Matt's shoulder. "Don't worry, frau. Authors Note: Yes, I know this means mrs, and is meant for women, but it just seems like something Gil would do. And Matt doesn't mind. So :P. I'll be right next to you. Okay?" He said comfortingly. Matt blushed and took a deep breath. "O-Okay." He smiled up at Gil. Gil grinned back.

"You still sure you want to do this?" Gilbert asked, watching Matt closely. Not like they could turn back. They were already in the car and strapped in. Gil looked completely fine and relaxed-the same could not be said for Mattie, however. He was hunched over, clutching the bar determinedly, even though he looked like he might puke at any moment. "Hey? Mattie? Maaaatt." Gilbert waved a hand in front of Matt's face. Matthew blinked and waved a hand errantly. "No no, it's fine! I'm cool! I can do this!" He said, looking terrified. Gil arched an eyebrow. He had to admit, Mattie looked pretty adorable when he was scared, but he also didn't want to force Mattie to do anything. "If you're sure…" Gil said skeptically.

The car jolted and began moving suddenly. Matt yelped and jumped, his hand inadvertently falling on top of Gilbert's. Gil's heart jumped. Whoa. Okay. Now this, he liked. He smiled at the thought of Matt holding his hand the whole way down. That would be definitely awesome.

Matt squeezed his eyes shut as they started ascending. His fingers curled around Gilbert's, clutching his hand hard. Gilbert grinned some more. Oh yeah, he was enjoying this thoroughly. Matt was too cute.

Matt opened his eyes and glanced at Gilbert. "U-Um...Do you mind…." He asked nervously, glancing at his hand holding Gil's. Gil grinned wider and, as a reply, bent his fingers so that they were holding Matt's hand. Matt smiled gratefully…

...Then looked down. He shrieked as the car slowly….slowly….slowly went over the hill of the roller coaster….Then dropped. Gil laughed and started yelling as Matt screamed, making sure to clutch Mattie's hand the whole way.

Afterwards, Gil, who was still holding Matt's hand, said, "See? That was fun, right?" Matt gave him a deadpan stare. "No pancakes for you for a week." Matt replied.

"Mattie!"
