July 1st.

His birthday.

And no one remembers it.

Great. Just great. He knew that he is pretty unnoticed by the other nations, but still... That they don't even remember his birthday?? That's just... mean. He always came to their birthdays, dammit! And his bear... He didn't even remember who he was! But they've been friends for so long, so he can't really stay angry at him... After all, Kumajiro hasn't done anything wrong, he just... doesn't remember.

Matthew Williams, the nation of Canada. It seems he will spend his birthday alone this year. It would actually be the first time he would spend this day alone. All the other years at least someone remembered. Alfred, Arthur, Francis or even Cuba. They wouldn't have any presents though, as they always remembered it on his actual birthday... But at least they remembered, and that's all it needed to make Matthew happy.

Though this year... This year, it seems they didn't even remember.

Somehow Matthew knew this would happen, but he still hoped.

So here he is, sitting in his garden just thinking. Sure, his people were celebrating his birthday, but it's not really the same. It's not like they come to his house to congratulate him, so there's no way they would throw him a party!

A sigh. He would do anything if someone would just come to at least congratulate him, really.

It was lunch time, so he went inside to make pancakes with maple syrup. That always cheer him up, though he's not sure if it will this time. This day is pretty damn big for him after all.

Just as he was about to start on the pancake mix, his phone rang. Matt's hope rose again. Maybe someone remembered his birthday after all! They just couldn't come and had to call him! ...A bit far fetched maybe, but you never really know.

"Hello?" He really hoped he didn't sound excited.

"Matt! You have to come to my place, now!! It's an emergency!!" It was his brother who had called... But apparently not for his birthday. Matt got worried though, an emergency?

"Al, calm down. What's happening?" He tried to calm down his brother, but...

"I don't have the time to tell you!! Just come over, and quick!!" ...it didn't work.

"O-okay!" So the only thing he could do was to go to his brother's house without having an idea of what the hell is going on.

When Matt arrived, he got worried... and suspicious. He was now standing outside Alfred's house, but it was way too quiet to what he's used to. Alfred also said it was an emergency and sounded panicked, so it shouldn't be this calm. Besides the calmness and quietness, he couldn't see anything out of the usual. So Matt did the obvious. He went to the door and opened it slowly.

"Al...?" 'Why is it so damn dark?'

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!!"

"..."

"...Matt?"

"...You remembered..."

"Remember...? Of course we remember, Matt!"

"What kind of family would we be if we forgot?"

"Arthur..."

"Happy birthday, Mathieu!" A hug.

"F-Francis... You're crushing me..."

"Oh, I'm sorry mon chér."

"Hurry up, Matthew! The presents are waiting!"

"Sea-kun... Aren't we going to eat first??"

"Feli, don't sound so crushed, dammit."

"You don't have to be so mean, Lovi."

"Shut up, Antonio."

Matthew was happy beyond words. Not only his family, but a lot of other nations were there too!

They didn't forget.

Maybe he would have a perfectly happy birthday anyway.
