Hello,
2D here with another Hetalia AU.
This one is base off of HOTD. I was inspired by other authors to do something like this. Though I wanted it to be more twisted than most fanfics. You can't just be expected to get thrown into situations like this without getting trauma. Or have something happen all together.
So without further ado,
Enjoy.

Arthur looked out over the expanse of the school grounds and sighed. It was another weekend and here he was taking a drag from the cigarette that hung from his lips.
"Why don't you come join us Arthur?" Said Antonio who was sitting down in the circle. Him and a few others would always follow Arthur up here and play cards, money was always bet.
"Yes Arthur, if your down why don't you ask your little friend for some money? I'm sure he can spare a couple hundreds." Francis, the French bastard, spoke and laughed his annoying laugh.
"Ja, you should like, come lose all your money with us." The German(self proclaimed Prussian) spoke and threw another folded dollar into the growing pile for example.
"You need money Artie?" Alfred dug around in his pocket and produced a wallet.
"No thank you Alfred, and for the love of god, it's Arthur!" He threw down his spent cigarette and crushed it with the heel of his foot.
"Okay." Alfred handed it to Kiku who sat beside him. "Hold this for me." He was playing a new game the Asian boy had given him for his birthday that was coming up. He had been impatient which soon led to Kiku giving it to him earlier. Now they were playing it atop the roof while the others played cards.
Arthur sighed as he looked around at the people who had followed him today.
There was of course the frog Francis(French). He was always flirting and sleeping around, but he did have a way of being nice once in awhile. They were the best frenemies after all. Then there was the other two people of Francis' group, Gilbert(Prussian), and Antonio(Spaniard). Gilbert was one of the most narcissistic people Arthur had met. He would always go on about how awesome he was, and even made a group of people who thought they were awesome as well! Antonio on the other hand was a complete ditz. He was always smiling and laughing. It irritated Arthur some, but was okay most of the time. There was Alfred(American), who was apart of the awesome club sadly, who was the sun. He was one of the most popular kids at school. Everyone adored him and wanted to be his friend. "I want to be everyone's friend too!" He had said once when Arthur had talked to him. He was also pretty smart when it came down to it, which was, sadly, not most of the time. And his brother had made his way up here to somehow. Alfred's brother Matthew(Canadian) was a quiet lad who had somehow ended up going out with Gilbert of all people. Arthur guessed that Matthew had lost something, but most likely his sanity. Matthew was happy though so Alfred had told him to 'step off it'. Then there was also Antonio's love. His name was Lovino(Italian) and he was off his rocker. He was always mad at everyone and everything. Bastard this, bastard that. There may be more to Lovino than Arthur could see, he knew that much, but he wasn't interested, so he left it. There was Kiku(Japanese) who was just as quiet, if not more, than Matthew was. He was obsessed with anything anime, as were Francis and Alfred. He was also very polite, and Arthur respected him for that. Then there was Kiku's man friend Heracles(Greek). He was just as quiet as Kiku but could be loud if he wanted. He was always holding some kind of cat and getting in trouble for it. Even now when he was leaning against Alfred he had a cat in his lap. He was always tired too. Thankfully that's where all the weirdos stopped. He would hate it if anymore people came up here.
Noisy Gits, Arthur thought.
"Come play Arthur!" Francis pouted and threw his cards up. Antonio was getting berated by Lovino and Prussia laughed as he pulled the pile of cash towards himself.
"The awesome me wins again!" He then handed the pile of cash to Matthew. "Now you can get that new book you wanted!" He grinned and kissed Matthew's cheek.
"Thank you Gilbert." Matthew smiled and kissed his cheek back.
"Get a room you two." Everyone looked to Alfred who was still playing his game. "You're making Kiku uncomfortable. And if he leaves I'll lose!" Alfred frowned.
"P-please don't mind me." Kiku forced a smile which was aimed at Matthew and Gilbert.
"N-no, don't be. Sorry." Matthew got up and made his way towards the door that led back into the school. "I was going to the restroom anyway."
"Be back soon Matt!" Alfred yelled over Kiku's head.
"Yeah! Be back soon Birdie!" Gilbert yelled.
"Will you all shut up? I'm getting a headache again." Arthur complained and went to sit by Francis.
"Oh Arthur. Here are some cards." Francis said as he handed Gilbert and Antonio their hands.
"Let's get this over with." He then threw a ten onto the growing pile.
Alfred stood up and stretched, sighing and relaxing after the telltale pop. The sky was turning hues of purples and pinks. The day was slowly turning into night, and Alfred wanted to be one of the first people to see the stars tonight. They were always beautiful.
"What's going on?" Alfred turned to see Heracles rub at his eyes and hug the cat.
"Oh dude! I'm sorry. I forgot that you were asleep!" Alfred laughed and had an empty cigarette carton thrown at him.
"Do shut it, won't you?" Arthur scowled at him.
"Sorry Artie." Alfred whispered and went over to the fence. He looked down at the track longingly and sighed.
I want to run. But I might miss the stars if I go inside!, Alfred thought and sighed again.
That's when it all started.
Man it's short.
