Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or Romeo and Juliet

In the city of Verona there were two families, the Montagues and the Capulets.

Lord Ivan Montague and Lady Yao Montague had a lovely son, Alfred Montague. They felt there was no finer boy in the world…well, he did have a bit of a Hero complex and he often ran into things with out thinking of what would happen if he did. He had two great friends though. Gilbert, who was a kinsman to Prince/Princess Hong Kong and very perverted, and Matthew, who was his own kinsman and extremely shy and often left out. The three were always together. Even though they often got into trouble (Matt would point to Gilbert and Alfred), they were the best of friends.

Lord Toris Capulet and Lady Feliks Capulet had a…well…no one really knew what gender there child was. Everyone thought the young child was a girl…until his voice changed… Anyway Toris and Feliks had a young…son…that liked to cross dress. His name was Feliciano. Feliciano was extremely energetic. Not many people knew this as he didn't leave home very much. He wasn't aloud after he decided to try to make Pasta trees. He didn't have many friends, but he had a nice nurse. Her name was Elizaveta, she was a very…interesting type of person. She was almost the only girl in Verona, and she liked men…together. She was the maid of Feliciano and sometimes watched his cousin. Arthur Capulet he was an extremely interesting boy. He had overly large eyebrows and a foul mouth. Arthur Capulet was also a bit…off…he would often talk to air and claim that some fairies or a unicorn was there. He also was rather rude and mean to people. He hated all Montagues. He had wished them all to hell many times. He didn't know why he did…he was just born hating them.

These are the two feuding Families of fair Verona

One day two Capulet family servants were out and about. Doing chores, being manly men, and making perverted jokes.

"So, rape the women?" One asked the other, the other looked at him.

"What do you mean? There aren't many women in this town." The other said back. Then nodded before seeing some Montague servants.

"Can we start something?"

"If you want to break the law…" The first one thought about this.

"What if I provoked them?" The second one nodded. The first one bit his thumb at the other servants. One of the Montague's came over.

"Do you bite your thumb at me?" he asked.

"I bite my thumb."

"Are you doing it at me?"

"I bite my thumb." The Montague got really angry and drew his sword.

"Answer the damn question!" he said. The Capulet pulled out his sword and the fight began. Many citizens joined in to stop the fighting. Then young Matthew stumbled upon the fight. He sighed and placed his white dog on the ground. He pulled out his sword and tried to get between two of the men.

"Stop it everyone! Do have any idea what your doing?" he asked. "Your being fools!" He groaned…he thought he'd be safe for today. Poor Matthew always had to break up fights or try to fix something. It was so early in the day too…

"What have we here?" A voice from behind Matthew asked in an amused tone. "Why Matthew, why are you going to fight pitiful common folk? Turn around and bow to the man that will kill you." Matt sighed and turned to face the one man that would talk like that. Arthur Capulet. He was shorter than Matt, with green eyes and large eyebrows. Matt sighed as he looked at Arthur, who had drawn his sword.

"Hey," He said "I'm just trying to keep everything peaceful." He sighed again. "Why don't you help me?" He gathered up all his courage to glair at the shorter, scarier man. "If not, then put your sword away." The Capulet sneered at Matthew.

"Peace? I hate that word," He spat. "I hate it as much as I hate hell, all of you fucking Montagues, and at the moment you. Now die." Arthur thrust his sword forward. Matthew blocked. The two fought, both delivering blows and dodging them. Matthew was a pacifist…but in this case he made an exception. Then many of the other citizens got into the fight. Arthur and Matthew were in the center, fighting with swords. Suddenly Lord and Lady Capulet got there.

"Like OH MY GOD! Leit, like give me my sword!" Lady Capulet said. "I like totally need to kick some Montague butt!" Lord Capulet shook his head.

"You don't need a sword…just stay out of it." The reluctant Lord said as he tried to hold back his extremely enthusiastic husband. As this was going on, Lord and Lady Montague had arrived.

"You will give me my sword, da." Lord Ivan said to Lady Yao. Yao shook his head, "No, aru," he said. "Just leave the Capulets alone, aru!" Lord Ivan looked at Yao with an icy glare. Yao sent back one of his own. Yao finally looked away. "You're not going to fight with them today." As Ivan was about to respond the Prince/Princess came to the square.

Prince/Princess? Yes, no one knew if it was a guy or girl… Prince or Princess Hong Kong came into the square.

"Stop!" Came the voice that some described as masculine, and some as feminine. "Have you no shame? You are fighting in the middle of my city!" He looked around to the four family leaders. "The Montagues and the Capulets? No surprises there!" He glared, "This is the third time in a week that you have disrupted my fair town with your silly fighting! If this happens again you will pay for it with your blood!" he Prince/Princess said. He left after sending the Capulets to wait for him at his home to be dealt with. The Montagues would come later.

Matthew had replaced his sword and gathered up his fluffy white dog. The dog looked at him as if it had never seen him before. He sighed as he went over to his aunt and uncle.

"Matthew, who started this?" Lord Ivan looked at him with a creepy smile on his face. Matt groaned. He didn't like when his uncle had that look on his face.

"Well," He looked away. He had to calm down. He might say something really mean! "I came across some of our servants, being annoyed by Capulet ones. I had tried to stop when that…temperamental Arthur came with his blade out and ready to fight." He did fight…he was so ashamed of himself. He'd have to work on that later. He hoped his scary uncle didn't hurt him!

"Have you seen Alfred, aru?" Lady Yao asked. He was worried about his son. He was a strange boy. Matt seemed to think about it.
"Well…this morning I couldn't sleep…so I was taking Kumajiro for a walk and I saw him," He hesitated. "I went to wish him a good morning and he ran away from me. I figured he wanted to be alone…so I let him." Lord Ivan glared at Matthew. He feared for his life…he didn't mean to do anything wrong.

"You should have gone after him!" He exclaimed. "He shuts himself up in his room, making a fake night…he's so sad all of a sudden! It is wrong, yes?" Lady Yao sighed.

"I feel something is wrong with him, aru," He said sadly. "Maybe you could talk to him, you know him best aru. He doesn't want to be a hero anymore so something must be wrong, aru!" Matt nodded something had to be wrong with the wannabe hero!

"I'll go find him and he'll talk to me," or I'll die trying to get him to. He went off to find his cousin. He was glad to be away from his uncle. Lord Ivan scared him. It may have been that whole family that did. His mother was Ivan's younger sister. She had the biggest obsession with Ivan until she met his father, Lady Yao's brother. He REALLY liked Yao's non-existent breasts. Some how they fell for each other and here he was. He shook his head, best not ask. He looked for his cousin. Where was that boy? He sighed, his cousin was older, but acted younger.

"Kumajiro, where do you think he is?" He asked the dog he was carrying. It looked at him as if it didn't know who he was. He was so use to it…people called him Alfred all the time to. Strangely he resembled his cousin very much. If his parents didn't show him the tape of his birth he would think that they were brothers. He looked in the town squire for the slightly taller blond. He didn't see him. He went to leave when something tackled him from behind.

"Your vital regions are mine!" a deep voice shouted. Arms circled his waist. Matt rolled his eyes.

"Morning Gilbert." The hands that had been around his waist let go. He turned to see the red eyes of his insane friend looking down at him. Damn Gilbert, taller than both Alfred and himself.

"Hi Matthew, how are you this fine morning?" Matt rolled his eyes.

"I'm looking for Alfred…have you seen him?" Gilbert frowned. He was looking for Alfred? Of course he was…

"I haven't seen him…but who needs him? I've got five full meters of awesome right here!" Matt rolled his eyes again. Gilbert and his 'five meters'. Was it supposed to be an innuendo? Or was it just him being strange? The world would never know.

"Alfred's apparently depressed…so I was going to go talk to him." Gilbert sighed, Matt always worried about Alfred.

"I'm depressed too!" he pouted. Matt looked at him.

"Why? I thought you were to 'awesome' to get depressed."

"Um…I'm depressed because…er…I missed the fight earlier! You should talk to me to make me feel better too!" This would work! Talk to Alfred because he was depressed? Well…he was depressed now too! This would be perfect!

"You're depressed because you missed a fight?" He shook his head, how aggressive could a guy get? "Well…go start one of your own then. I have to find Alfred." Matt said. He turned to leave. "I'll see you later." Gilbert frowned, he was glad that Matt couldn't see him. Why did it always happen like this?

------------------------------------

Finally Matt had tracked down Alfred. He was under a clump of trees right next to where he started out. So he walked around town, got ambushed by Gilbert, and then walked all the way back…for nothing? Great…He approached his cousin. He waved,

"Hey, Alfred!" Alfred looked at him and sighed.

"Hello," he said depressed.

"What's wrong, everyone's talking about how sad you seem." He looked at his older cousin. Alfred looked at him.

"I'm not able to talk about it at this time of the night!" He said dramatically. Matt looked at the morning sun.

"It's...only nine in the morning..."

"Is it? Time passes so slow for this poor soul," He said sniffling at the end. Matt rolled his eyes. He was being worse than Gilbert.

"What makes the day so long?" Humor him…maybe he'll find something out.

"I don't have something to make the hours fly by!" He said throwing his arms out and hugging himself. What made the day short? His mom always said…

"Are you talking about love?" he asked. Was his cousin in need of love?

"I am! But we can never be together!" he said he put his hands to his face, pretending to cry.

"Well, why not?" Did he even want to know? Maybe it was normal…like the guy was taken…or…please don't let it be he loved someone he was friends with. That would be so awkward.

"He's going to be a friar!" Oh…so he couldn't have…oh. Of course Alfred would have a problem. Almost all the friar's were pure…the one wasn't. Friar Francis, the rumor was he raped people to get his potion…sadly it was probably true. He sighed.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"I am in love with a man!" Matt rolled his eyes. Seeing as how there were only a few girls…

"I figured…which guy?" Alfred turned away. Oh god no! He was going into a dramatic rant!

"Does it matter? We can never be together! He has shunned me to become a holy man! Oh why does fate not like me! What did I do to it? I have always been good and a nice boy! Oh fate, Oh love! Why must you be so cru-are you laughing at me?" He looked at Matt who was trying so hard not to laugh.

"Oh no…I'm trying not to cry." He lied. Alfred looked at him strangely.

"Why would you be crying?"

"At your sadness," He pointed out. His cousin could be so stupid sometimes. Alfred nodded and went back into his rant about how he would be lonely forever, because his beloved wouldn't be with him! Matt was getting annoyed. Why were both of the people close to him strange? Gilbert was an attention whore…always wanting his attention. He got upset when he'd pay more attention to Alfred. He didn't know why Gilbert thought he shouldn't have other friends. He didn't use to mind it very much. The last couple of years Gilbert had become clingy. Alfred on the other hand, wanted to be the hero! He would go around, trying to 'save' everyone! That got on everyone's nerves! He kept messing everything up...and then he had to pick everything up and fix it!

Matt had to calm down. Breathe in...Breathe out...breath in...Breathe out. He was calm now

"So who is this guy you like?" He asked disrupting his cousin's crazy ranting. Alfred threw his wrist over his forehead.

"The fair Kiku is my love!" Kiku? Kiku Honda? That was the only Kiku in town. He had to give Alfred some credit...Kiku did have good looks. Though...he always liked lighter hair...but Alfred would go for anything...except Friar Francis. But no one really liked Friar Francis.

"I see," He had to make this better. How to do that? He had it!

"There must be better people in this town!" He said bouncing Kumajiro in his arms. Alfred looked him like he was crazy.

"No one is better looking then my fair Kiku!" Matt sighed.

"Sure there is! You just need to go find him! Go fall in love with some other guy!" he said. The sooner this got solved the sooner he could go do something else. Alfred let out a wail.

"But I can never love anyone else again!" Matt rolled his eyes. He just started liking Kiku...love? His cousin...

"Sure you can! Just forget about old Kiku!"

"My heart can not! You must teach me to forget!" Matt just grabbed his wrist.

"Fine..." He'd try to find Gilbert...he was great at distracting Alfred...
