Hello! Kittyruvsyou here! This is my first story, so please tell me if I suck! Hope you like it!

Oh! Silly me! I forgot to do one important thing! The disclaimer!

I don't Hetalia. This story was inspired tpfrom a doujin I read, so it would somewhat have the same plot as the doujin.

Now on to the story!

Matthew sat on a tree while looking inside a window. He sighed. Why did the next one have to be cute?

"Yo dude! I've been looking for you! Where in the world have you been?!" A voice came from above. Looking up, Matthew saw his brother Alfred standing on a branch on top of him.

"Hey Alfred-" Matthew started, but he got cut off by his brother.

"Dude! Why are you hanging out with a human?! You know the rules!

Matthew winced a little. No matter how many centuries they've been together, he can never get used to Alfred's loud voice.

"He's the next one, Alfred. " Matthew pulled out a book from his bag and showed it to Alfred.

Alfred took the book and read it out loud. "Gilbert Beildschmidt, Age of death: 24. Hm, I guess he is."

"See! I told you!" Matthew said triumphantly.

Gilbert was looking out the window. He noticed two people that seemed to be arguing about something, so he tapped on the glass and smiled at them. Both reapers stopped talking and stared at Gilbert.

"Hey, Matt, how come he can see us?"

Matthew shrugged. He thought, 'Well, that guy's unusual.'

"I think his time of death is close, so he can see us. Some people can do that. Not intentionally though." Matthew answered back.

Gilbert opened his window and shouted at the twin reapers, "Hey! Are you awesome angels?!"

Matthew hesitated to answer. Should he tell the truth?

"What should we do, Alfred?" Matthew asked his brother.

"I dunno, this is your job, and I'm going back to mine. Good luck bro!" Alfred said as he smiled and waved Matthew goodbye.

Gilbert looked excitedly Matthew. 'What will I say? Should I tell him the truth?'

Matthew decided that he'll just tell him the truth.

"Sorry to crush your hopes, but I'm not an angel. I'm a grim reaper and you're-" Matthew was cut off by Gilbert.

"Aw, man, so I am going to die. Cheapass doctor…." Gilbert muttered. "Oh well. The awesome me always had a weak body, so the awesome me was gonna die so un-awesomely soon." Gilbert just smiled like he had won a million dollars. Better yet, a way to save his life.

'Wow, and you're not surprised at all…?' Matthew thought.

"What's your awesome name?" Gilbert asked Matthew.

"M-Matthew" Matthew stammered.

"I'm Gilbert, nice to meet ya, Birdie!" Gilbert happily cheered.

"B-Birdie…?" Matthew wondered.

"Yeah! That's my new awesome nickname for you!" Gilbert replied. "Cause you look like a bird when you fly. So graceful, so... awesome!" Gilbert said.

'Well, might as well go with it. At least he seems happy.' Matthew thought.

A few days later…

"Hiyah, Birdie!" Gilbert smiled.

"You're practicing walking….? Aren't you pushing yourself too far?" Matthew asked Gilbert.

"Nah, just because I'm sick doesn't mean I should just lie around in bed all day. Think of it rehabilitation." Gilbert said as he walked along.

'Humans are weird beings…' Matthew thought.

"Bruder." A voice came from a tall man in front of them. "How are you doing with your rehabilitation?" Matthew ducked behind Gilbert as not to be seen.

"Just fine, bruder! I'll be able to get out of here in no time!" Gilbert replied cheerfully.

"That's good news." The man nodded and walked away.

Meanwhile, Matthew was talking to himself. 'Oh right, he can't see me.' He thought.

Outside...

Matthew was poking around the plants when he found what he was looking for.

"H-Here… a four-leaf clover…." Matthew reluctantly gave the four-leaf clover to Gilbert.

"Woah! Awesome! Thanks!" Gilbert beamed.

"I have a question for you Gil."

"Go ahead."

"Why do you seem so happy nowadays, Gil?"

"You think so? I guess my rehabilitation has been working out well. How come you seem a bit down, Birdie?" Gilbert answered.

"Well… I guess that we reapers can't fall in love…" Matthew answered.

"So you guys can't fall in love, huh?"

"It's doesn't matter since the other person can't see me anyway…"

"I can see you!" Gilbert shouted.

Matthew laughed silently; while Gilbert shouting that nothing's funny. Unknownst to them, Gilbert's brother, Ludwig, was watching them silently.

'Why is my bruder talking to himself?' Ludwig thought.

The next day…

Gilbert was laying down on his bed with a raging fever. He smiled weakly when he saw Matthew again.

"Hey Birdie! You came again!" Gilbert said happily.

Matthew looked at him with worry. "You looked and seemed fine yesterday. What happened?"

"Don't worry Birdie! We'll walk again tomorrow! I promise!" Gilbert reassured Matthew. But Matthew wasn't too sure.

The next day…

Gilbert was on his death bed. Alfred had come to check up on Matthew to see if the soul was ready.

"Only a few more minutes…" Alfred told Matthew.

"Matthew looked down in sadness and grief. He just saw another one die, right? He has seen hundreds of people die! Why did he seem so special?!"

Matthew walked over to Gilbert's bed. Gilbert smiled weakly.

"B-Birdie… I'm glad I got to see you one last time. I forgot to tell... you something...I- I- I- love…-" Then the heart monitor went off.

"Bruder! Please! Wake up!"

"Stop playing pranks, mon ami!"

"Amigo! NO!"

And one by one, the walked out of the room, silently sobbing, not wanting to look back. Only Ludwig stayed behind.

Then, Ludwig began to speak."Hey, my brother's invisible friend. I don't know if you're here, but if you are, please listen. Thank you for staying with my brother the entire time here. I've never seen him so happy-" Ludwig smiled weakly. "- If you loved my brother as much as he loved you, take this four-leaf clover. I won't see your answer, but you should take it. I'm never returning to this room again." And with that, he walked out of the room.

Matthew stood over Gilbert's lifeless body. He silently cried. He took the clover and left a note in it's place and disappeared. The note was in Matthew's handwriting saying:

I'm Sorry.

Ok! There's supposed to be a part 2, but I don't know if I should continue it. Tell me what you think. R&R!

Thanks for reading!
