I don't own hetalia, surrrrprise?!

PruCan au: transfer student Gilbert giving Matthew a hand made valentine card; thing is, his English is bad so it's just "You are cute nice, be valentine? Gilbert love"

It was a simple valentine cut out of red card-stock. Obviously hand made, obviously heartfelt.

Matthew, being who he was, never considered or even thought he'd get one. He wasn't the sort of person to get gifts, and certainly not the type of person who got valentines from people on valentines day.

At first, he only had a faint attraction to the new German transfer student. After all, he knew next to nothing about him except for the fact that his english was poor and he had a younger brother. Really, that was considered next to nothing, since there was obviously so much more to know about him.

He was obviously an albino, his hair nearly completely white and his eyes a startling shade of dare he say... red? Matthew had seen someone other people often regarded as hideous and thought of him as beautiful, and he wanted to be near him, wanted to know him, and wanted to befriend him for everything it was worth.

But Matthew was shy, and he was sure that his want for friendship, maybe even something more, would be unrequited. People like Gilbert just simply didn't hang out with people like him. That was that. He knew Gilbert would most likely die before associating himself with the Canadian, and that hurt more than he wanted to admit.

So, it came as a huge surprise when he had gotten the small valentine. Gilbert stood a few paces away, his face void of his usual confidence and egotistical attitude.

"You are cute nice, be valentine? Gilbert love." The writing was neat although the spelling and grammar was pretty bad, Matthew could tell he had tried.

Matthew's face went red. Gilbert thought he was cute? And nice? As far as he had known, Gilbert had no idea he existed until just now. It warmed his heart that someone had actually put time and effort into making him something. It was always Alfred this, Alfred that. It was nice, he admitted, to finally have someone notice him.

Gilbert was looking at him expectantly and Matthew's mouth suddenly went dry. The hallway was quiet and everyone had already went home, so they were the only people occupying the hushed space. Honestly, Matthew didn't know what to say.

Sure, he liked Gilbert. A lot, if he admitted it to himself, but he hadn't once thought that his secret desire would be fulfilled.

Hell, he hadn't even known that Gilbert was gay! Or was he? Matthew felt confused, he felt sick, he felt happy.

Before he could catch himself, he was nodding hurriedly. Not even knowing what he was getting himself into, he smiled and whispered a 'yes' before Gilbert broke into a grin, a blush overtaking his once nervous face.
"You, me, go on date?" He nodded again, and Gilbert's smile widened.

It was easily the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for him, and Matthew felt his heart flutter. Surely falling for such a boy wouldn't be that bad.

Their fingers linked together, and the two walked from the school with happy smiles and red faces. Yes, surely this wouldn't be too bad at all.

Yep, super short! Review if you liked it, and thanks again to the brilliant person who thought of this adorable idea!

Payton outtie!
