October 31st or Halloween to most is a day to dress up all scary and scare people to get free candy. You would think on such a day like Halloween Alfred Jones would be hiding under his bed hiding from the monsters and ghosts that would be roaming the streets on such a night but no you would be wrong...he was in fact looking forward to October 31st because he was holding a Halloween party for all his friends, each year a country is picked randomly from a hat to decide where the party would be held. This year like every other year it was to be held in America so in other words Alfred gets to host the party again this year, the other nations where wondering how Alfred kept getting picked to hold the parties...Alfred had also decided that he would pick Matthew's costume this year much to his brother's disappointment and horror, Matthew had planned to go as a polar bear like he did every year for Halloween.
"Al...why can't I just go as a polar bear like I always do...I mean no one ever notices me anyway so it won't matter what I wear so please don't go to all the trouble of picking me out a costume" Mathieu sighs as he stands by his brother while he looks for Mathieu's new costume.
"What? No way bro! You are going to have a rockin' costume this year dude. Ha Ha Ha! And anyway, this year's party is to be all anonyms so no one will know who's who. It's going to be like so totally awesome bro!" Alfred laughs his trademark obnoxious laughs as he hits Mattie on his back hard.
"What exactly do you mean by 'no one will know who's who'...I'm fairly sure everyone will be able to recognize one another Al..." Mathieu sighs once more.
How does Alfred come up with such stupid ideas all the time? Matthew shakes his head at the thought.
"They have to wear masks with their costumes Mattie so no one will be able to tell ok" Alfred states with a matter a fact tone as he continues to look for Mathieu's costume.
Alfred had been looking for a costume for his brother for about 2 hours now, how hard could it be to find the quiet nation a costume to wear? Anything would work...like a ghost yeah that would be great for Matthew, his brother is practically invisible to everyone anyway so that would work perfectly for him. Al still needed to get a costume for himself too so unfortunately for the quiet nation he would have to wait longer for his brother and Matthew knew he should have brought his own car and met him up here but unfortunately Alfred had turned up at Mattie's, his brother had dragged Mathieu out from his house and practically kidnapped him and so here he was waiting for his brother so Mathieu could just go back home.
"Alfred...please can we just go? I'm tired and hungry and I need to feed Kumajinki...just grab your costume and let's go" Mattie whines at his brother, he had really had enough of shopping.
"Really dude? …Fine you can go if you want to; I'll drop your costume off when I finally find it ok bro?" Al says while still looking through the costumes not looking back at his brother.
He heard his brother say thanks before hearing him leave, he was about to give up and just let his brother wear his polar bear costume when he finally found the perfect costume for his brother; he grabs it and grabs his costume taking them to the registers to pay before heading to Matthew's place.
Of course, Mathieu didn't need to be told twice, he nodded towards his brother before realizing that Alfred wouldn't see his nod as his brother was still searching for and said thanks instead as he practically runs out of the shop, he jumps getting in a taxi and heading back home. Mattie finally makes it home and was greeted by his pet polar bear Kumajiro at the door as he enters; he pats the bears head as he walks past before sitting down on the couch feeling very worn out from his unexpected and surprised trip to the shops with his brother, Kumajiro walked over to his owner and scratched his owners leg to get his attention.
"Who are you? Will you feed me?" Kumajiro asked tilting his head to the side staring up at the Canadian.
"I'm Canada your owner...Mathieu." The Canadian sighs looking down at his pet. "I'll get you some food..." He picks up the polar bear carrying him to the kitchen; he puts the bear down and grabs a salmon from the fridge placing it into Kumajiro's bowl for him. "There you go Kumamira" He smiles as he placed the bowl on the floor for the bear to eat.
Mathieu then walks over to the fridge, grabs out a beer and heads to the lounge room to finally sit and just relax but just as he goes to sit down his door bell is pressed repeatedly. Mathieu had a pretty good idea who it was at his door and just sat down on his couch glaring at the door before finally yelling. "It's open!" Mathieu lifts the beer to his lips and takes a long drink closing his eyes letting the coolness run down his parched throat, the doorbell kept being pressed and it was becoming too much for the Canadian to stand, it was getting on his nerves and he grabs his hockey stick that was leaning against the back of the couch as he walks to the door. Opening the door wide the annoyed Canadian swings his hockey stick at the hoser who kept pressing his doorbell even after being told that the door was open, the person on the other side of the door ducks just in time to avoid being hit with the hockey stick and what was a clear indication that it wasn't who Mathieu thought it was. Who he thought it was his brother Alfred coming to drop off said costume that his brother was searching for and Alfred always got hit by his hockey stick for doing stupid things and for constantly pressing the doorbell when he arrived at Mattie's place. Mathieu blinks when the hockey stick didn't contact someone and turns his attention to the person in front of him, taking in his features the white silver hair, pale flawless skin, kissable pale pink lips which are curved into a sexy smirk, ruby red eyes that seem to pierce his soul and a fluffy yellow bird atop the man's head...wait bird? Mattie's eyes widen as he realizes who it is standing in front of him. "...G-GIL!?"
