HELLO! I haven't been posting Fan Fictions in a while, so forgive me, okay? But I'm back, with a story that will 99% of the time be updated weekly! On Friday Nights, to be somewhat-exact. The Chapters will be longer than the prologue, I swear. I'm so happy, since I've been working on this for some time, and I hope it goes well enough...

Characters: Alfred and Matthew

Length: ?

Warnings: None.

And, I do not own Hetalia in any way, shape or form. All the props go to Himaruya.

Prologue

Alfred smirked as he walked down the corridor, hands in his pockets and a pair of sunglasses shielding his eyes in the dark hallway. As he reached the room of his choice, he opened door coolly and walked in.

"You wanted to see me, Artie?"

A British man looked up from a few scattered folders on his desk. He motioned for Alfred to sit, an apathetic look on his face. Alfred nodded, dropping into the seat and tossing his feet onto Arthur's desk, much to his distaste.

"Yes, I did. We have some new information on your family. It may not be accurate, but I assure you, it's the first lead we've had in ages." He tossed the file onto Alfred's lap, and waited patiently for Alfred to scan through it. The blonde flipped through the pages, a slightly interested in the new information. As he reached the latest page, he read through the new information, only to freeze, his eyes widening. He looked up to the Arthur, only to see the man looking down at another file.

"I…have a brother?"

Arthur looked up for a moment before sighing and sitting up straighter, looking Alfred in the eyes. "May. You may have a brother. It's a new lead to your file, but it may not be accurate. I just thought you deserved to know." He answered directly and truthfully. Alfred nodded, looking back down to the file in his lap.

"His name is Matthew Williams. Age 18: a year younger than you. He owns a small bookstore in New York City. He lives near your temporary home. He has no criminal records. Or any records whatsoever. He's practically invisible."

Alfred could only look at Arthur in shock. And slowly the information slid in. He had a brother... he had a brother! He had some sort family, and he was ALIVE. He noticed the concerned look on Arthur's face and gave a quick cough before composing himself. He put his face in his hands and leaned in.

"Is there anything else?"

"One more thing. He surely does not know you exist."

Alfred nodded and closed the file and tucked it under his arm. "Hmm… maybe I should go and check him out..." he began, standing up. Just as he reached the door, he felt a hand on his shoulder, making him stop. "I would advise against It, Alfred. Mr. Williams has had a normal life. Interfering in his life in any way would destroy it. Do you really want to be held responsible for that?" Arthur warned him.

Alfred shrugged the hand away, a small smirk on his face. "Arthur, this is the first lead in ages. I really can't leave it alone. Besides, what can one visit to his bookstore do? A few minutes can't change his life…"

Right?

And with that, we have the prologue. Thought I'd drop it off.

(That and I really need something to do, since I'm jumping excitedly over the fact that I'm going to Megacon tomorrow. Cosplaying Fem!Romano. So hyper and excited!)

Any comments are appreciated, thanks!
