AN: So I was listening to the song More Than Useless by Relient K and it just seemed perfect for PruCan so I put it into an awesome Songfic about Mattie and Gilbert! I find that I actually quite enjoy doing songfics and they are fun to do so I will continue to do them because they rock. (I am doing this separately and also making this the next chapter in Snapshots)

I hope you like this and will review because reviews are absolutely awesome and get Mattie hugs. I also hope that my Songfic writing skills have gotten better and that these don't bore you all.

Matthew is More Than Useless

Matthew Williams sat outside of the restaurant alone and wondering how he had screwed everything up so badly. He got into a stupid fight with Gilbert once more. The sad thing was that Gilbert was the only person that made him feel noticed and recognized. Gilbert was the only one that even bothered to remember his name and see him as he really was.

Matthew was seen by everyone as invisible. Gilbert was the only one that recognized that he existed most of the time. And right now, that was up in the air because of the idiotic fight.

It had been over Matthew and his low self esteem. Earlier that day, Matthew had been forgotten by his family members. That hurt worse than being invisible to the entire rest of the world. After that, he had himself a little pity party and Gilbert was not buying it one bit.

His lover was telling him that he wasn't useless and invisible. He told him that he was fine and completely visible to him at the very least. Matthew didn't believe him.

Gilbert walked outside to join Matthew. He had told the owner of the restaurant to put a specific song on and told Matthew to just listen to it.

I feel like

I would like

To be somewhere else doing something that matters

Matthew just nodded at that point. That was something that he wished for every single day of his life. He just wanted to do something important that would get him remembered by the ones that ignored him now.

I'll admit here

While I sit here

My mind wastes away and my thoughts start to gather

Wasn't that the truth? Matthew never felt good about himself but when he was left alone his doubts went off the damn charts.

So what's the purpose?

It feels worthless

So unwanted like I've lost all my value

That's exactly how he felt about what had happened with his family. He felt as though his family just didn't want him around any longer and that was not what he wanted to feel.

I can't find it

Not in the least bit

And I'm just scared

So scared that I'll fail you

He looked up at Gilbert at this line. This was what he feared the most when it came to Gil. He was afraid that he wasn't good enough for the Prussian. He felt as though he was just going to mess everything up and hurt the other man more than he would ever want to. He was afraid that he'd just mess everything up.

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all

And sometimes I wonder why

Why I'm even here at all

But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless

And when I think that

I can't do this

You promise me that I'll get through this

And do something right

Do something right for once

Gilbert approached the Canadian and wrapped his arms around him. Matthew fought him off and put some distance but, thought about the song and what it meant for the two of them.

He always wondered why he was even here. He wondered what his purpose was because he was so damn useless and invisible and just not worth it in any way shape or form. The problem was, every time he started thinking along those lines, Gilbert would tell him that he was wrong. Gilbert would tell him that he didn't need to be so lost. He wasn't invisible to the Prussian and never would be. Gilbert would tell him that he would get through it all.

So I say if I can't

Do something significant

I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted.

And nothing trivial

That life could give me will

Measure up to what might have replaced it

Matthew often considered breaking up with Gilbert because he didn't deserve to be with someone like him. He didn't believe that Gilbert should even waste his time. He never did anything good or important and this opportunity didn't seem like it was his to take. He believed that Gilbert could find someone so much better. Of course, Gilbert disagreed with all of that.

Too late look

My date book

Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone

And I bet that

Regret will prove to get me to improve in the long run

That was something that Prussia made Matthew realize now that they had been together for a while. His lost opportunities and low opinion of himself were things that he could learn from and get better for. Gilbert helped him do that every single day that they were together.

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all

And sometimes I wonder why

Why I'm even here at all

But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless

And when I think that

I can't do this

You promise me that I'll get through this

And do something right

Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless

And I never knew I knew this

Was gonna be the day

Gonna be the day

That I would do something right

Do something right for once

Gilbert wrapped his arms around Mattie once more and this time the Canadian didn't fight him off. "Birdie, you did do something right." Gilbert explained. "The day that you decided that I was worth your time, you made a decision that I hope is right."

Mattie felt the tears coming to his eyes. "M-maybe I d-did do that right."

Notice, I know this

Weak is a symbol of how I use my time

Resent it

I spent it

Convincing myself the world's doing just fine

Without me

Gilbert chuckled at the words. "The world might be fine without you but, I wouldn't be."

Doing anything of any consequence

Without me

Showing any sign of ever making sense

Of my time

It's my life

And my right

To use it like I should

Like he would

For the good

Of everything that I would ever know

I'm a little more than useless

When I think that I can't do this

You promise me that I'll get through this

And do something right

Do something right for once

I'm a little more than useless

And I never knew that this was

Gonna be the day

Gonna be the day

That I would do something right

Do something right for once.

Matthew listened to the song finished and realized, for the first time in a long time, that Gilbert was right. It was his life and he shouldn't let the lack of acknowledgement from others control his life. He should do what was good for him and do what he wanted to do. He should live his life to its fullest. He shouldn't question what he had with Gilbert, it was just too precious.

"Gilbert?" Matthew said.

"What is it Birdie?"

"Maybe… Maybe I'm a little more than useless." He conceded.

Matthew approached his boyfriend and kissed him.

AN: End of song fic! What did you all think of this?
