Chapter 1 - Feliciano's Confession
"Mattie~" Feliciano called out to his best friend. He stretched out his arms, pulling the Canadian into a close hug.
Matthew smiled softly hugging the Italian back. "H-Hey." He answered. Feliciano blushed madly letting go of the other. He left as swiftly as he came. Matthew shook his head. His friend had been acting weird-erm... more weird then usual all day.
Feliciano sighed softly. He looked to the American that invaded his home today. "Alfred? Can... I ask you something?" He asked sheepishly.
Alfred sat down on the couch next to the worried boy. "Sure! What's eating ya?" He asked. Alfred set a hand on Feliciano's shoulder.
"It's... Matthew." He said gently. His face turned a little pink. Alfred cocked his head, looking at him. "I'm in love with him Alfred!"
Alfred blinked, taking his hand off Feliciano. "Feli?" He was surprised. All this time Alfred thought the little Italian liked him THE HERO!
Feliciano looked at the surprised look on the Americans face. "Yeah?"
"Why Mattie?" Alfred crossed his arms over his chest. He so badly wanted to add a 'why not me?' at the end.
"Mattie's, been my best friend for a long time. I just feel safe beside him. I tell him things I can't tell Ludwig!" He almost shot out at Alfred. "I can tell Mattie everything." He brought up his knees to his chest. I think I'm gonna break up with Ludwig..." He sighed softly. America looked at North Italy sadly.
America sat at the kitchen table, sitting across from North Italy. "Feli? You do know, my bro is dating that Prussia guy right? What was his naem..." He picked at his pasta trying to think.
"Gilbert. I know." Italy sighed gently, gobbling down his pasta.
"Why don't you tell Mattie?" Alfred asked softly, putting his plate near the sink.
"I'm scared." He some what mumbled.
"Scared of what?" He leaned forward.
"Scared of what Matthew will say." He sighed softly.
"Don't be. Just go for it. Be the hero for once." He got up and pointed at Feliciano. Feliciano smiled up at his friend and gave a slight nod.
Feliciano woke up that morning around 11am. 'Maybe Mattie's awake.' He thought getting up. He looked at his phone to go threw his contacts. He found Matthew's number dialing it.
Matthew heard his phone ring. He picked it up gently. He answered it "Hello Feli." He said softly.
"Ve~ Mattie! Can I come over? I-" Feliciano got cut off from a groan from the other end.
"S-Sorry Feli... Gilbert fell out of his dream. Sure! Come over." He sounded a bit glad.
"I-I-I kinda needed to talk to you..." He sighed.
Matthew paused. "S-Sure... I'll get Prussia to leave us alone." With that he hung up his phone.
Feliciano knocked on his friends door. Gilbert answered the door, looking Feliciano up and down. "Birdie! My brother's boyfriend is here! Must be here too see you." He said adding the last part in as Matthew rounded the corner.
Matthew smiled at his friend. "Come in Feli~ Make yourself at home." He almost cooed.
Feliciano came in kicking off his shoes. He looked at Matthew sheepishly. "C-Can I talk to you now Canada?" He asked Matthew gently.
Matthew nodded taking his friend to his room. He sat himself on the bed after he closed the door. "What is it?"
North Italy let in a deep breath. He needed to be the hero. "Matthew... I... I-I" He couldn't get the words out. He took in another deep breath, calming himself down a bit. The other looked at him blinking. "Matthew, I love you!" He spat out. "Matthew, I have loved you for.. ve~ a long time. I think since when we first met." Noth Italy blurted out. He looked at his friends surprised reaction. "Would you mind coming to a party I'm throwing?" He asked gently. "America and France are coming."
Matthew nodded. "I'll come to the party." He sat cross legged in the middle of his bed. "Why didn't you tell me you loved me sooner, Feli?" He asked looking at his embarrassed friend.
"I was scared of what you would think." Feliciano said gently. "See you tomorrow at my party." He walked out of Canada's room and house, leaving his friend.
