Hi! This is my first Hetalia fic. Minor-ish Dark!Alfred. Tell me what you think! =)
All Better Now
Summary: Canada felt America press his lips onto the back of his neck… "There, all better now!" Alfred pressed a kiss onto Matthew's temple, then the side of his nose and cheek. Kisses continued to rain down upon Matthew like the bombs that devastated his country. Dark!AlfredxMatthew

Matthew didn't know it was coming. He didn't see any signs—Alfred and he had just hung out this weekend! They'd gone to see some crummy horror movie that Alfred was dying to see—mon Dieu, they even went out to McDonalds afterwards for burgers! Alfred was fine then; he had been acting completely normal-
-…Or maybe he hadn't been. Maybe Alfred had been dropping signs. Little passive-aggressive warnings about what he intended to start in the upcoming week. But Matthew hadn't seen anything then, and he was in too much pain right now to be able to properly scour his memory.
Unfortunately for Matthew, it was a little too late for him to stop the attacks. The assaults along the St. Lawrence River and Mt. Cascade, the troops invading Ottawa and burning through British Columbia and Quebec. He could feel each fire as it started, felt it licking his skin and burning through his veins as houses caved in on themselves and fiery forests filled the sky with suffocating smoke.
Matthew wanted to help his people. He could feel their blood spilling from their veins and coloring the streets crimson—but he couldn't move. The pain rendered him boneless and weak, gasping for breath through his tears as he lay pathetically on his soft bed. He could faintly feel Kumajirou next to him, licking Matthew's face and cuddling against him, trying to soothe and comfort his distressed owner.
BANG!
BANG!
BANGBANGBANG!
Something heavy was thrown against the door multiple times, the crashes resonating through the empty house, carried to Matthew's bedroom. Kumajirou sat up and growled, staring fixedly at the door and the sound of someone yelling in the foyer echoed up the bedroom. Matthew didn't move, however, simply continuing to sob into his pillow, occasionally twitching.
"Mattie!" A familiar voice called. Matthew froze, his crying ceasing for just a moment before he began shaking again, arguably even harder than before, as he attempted to get up from the bed. Kumjirou pushed his head against Matthew's chest, helping push Matthew off the bed.
Heavy footsteps were faintly heard stomping up the staircase to the second floor, "Mattie!"
Matthew glanced around his room, looking for somewhere to hide. If he could only stand up then maybe he could jump out the window…
Bombs rained down on Gatineau and Kumajirou managed to roll Matthew under the bed.
"Mattie! Where are you?" Alfred cried out once more, "I need to talk to you!" Through the buzzing noise that filled his ears, Matthew could mutedly hear Alfred doing a sweep of the second floor and the low, indistinct hum of voice.
"MATTIE!" Alfred shouted, starting to sound a little annoyed, "COME HERE!" Kumajirou licked Matthew's face before running out of the room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
When Matthew didn't pop out from one of the rooms, Alfred continued his search, starting down the hallway to Matthew's room.
"Oh…!"
Something screeched very sudden and Matthew shuffled farther under the bed, his hands shakily covering his ears. A crack! and a thump followed shortly after.
The door creaked open, "Mattie…? Are you in here?" Alfred walked into Matthew's room. Matthew could see his boots as he walked around, occasionally messing with something on Matthew's desk or dresser.
Alfred ambled casually through Matthew's room, taking his time as he strolled over to the bed. He walked along the side towards the headboard, smoothing his hand over the fluffy comforter. Alfred took a moment to fix the messy blankets, noting their warmth, and adjusted the pillows. Then, he slowly bent down on one knee and poked his head under the bed with an easy smile.
"Oh, Mattie," Alfred grinned widely at Matthew, feigning surprise with wide, gleaming eyes, "I've been looking all over for you!"
I hope you liked it. Next chapter will be up soon.
