Summer Gardening

An idea I've had for a very long time. I only wrote it now since it's weather appropriate.

Summer Gardening
Prussia was envious of his lover. It had nothing to do with the fact that Canada was a nation and he wasn't, but more to do with the fact that Matthew could spend all day outside in the sun and he couldn't because of his fair skin.
It had been extremely warm and sunny these past few days in the capital and both he and Matthew had taken advantage of the warm weather. However, after two consecutive days out in the sun, his skin had taken as much vitamin C as possible and then it had burnt, again. This meant that he had to stay inside while Matthew worked outside.
Canada liked taking care of his flower and vegetable gardens, so every year, around this time of the season; he would get down on all fours and clean up his garden. Prussia had helped him out in the past, but this year he had to sit this one out.
Instead, he stood by the window and watched the Canadian work away the land. As much as he didn't like being cooped up inside, he had to admit that the view was very interesting. Matthew had stripped down to his shorts and had tied his t-shirt around his head to protect himself from getting sunstroke.
Gilbert liked observing the way Matthew's taunt muscles would flex as the younger man lifted the bags of soil or as he would turn the earth. It was amazing to see what all that hockey could do to one's body. Occasionally, the Canadian would stop to take a swig of water and Prussia would watch as some of the clear liquid would dribble down his chin and go mingle with the glistening sweat on his chest.
He wondered if Matthew knew how much of a tease he was being, because it would usually be after he drank that he would wipe his mouth with the back of his hand before winking in his direction and waving as if he knew that Gilbert was watching. Canada would be the death of him.
Prussia continued devouring his lover with his eyes from his spot by the kitchen window as Canada worked hard in the yard. There was a determined look on his face and Gilbert found it endearing.
By the time the younger of the two was finished, it was late in the afternoon, but the backyard looked amazing. The flowers were planted and the small vegetable plants were in their respective spots.
"Well, I'm glad that's done and over with." Matthew told him as he put his t-shirt in the laundry room. Gilbert retrieved a beer from the fridge and handed it to him. Canada thanked him before opening the bottle and taking a long swig from it.
"No offence Matt, but you need a shower now." Prussia told him with a small smirk. The Canadian looked at his body and shorts which were smothered with earth and chuckled. He walked over to where Prussia was standing and wiped one of his dirty hands on the Prussian's face.
"Oh dear, looks like you're in need of a shower too." Canada stated with a laugh. "That's good, because I'll need someone to wash my back and I could definitively use a nice back rub after all that physical labour." He finished off, whispering in his ear.
"That sounds like a marvellous and awesome plan; lead the way." Matthew took his hand in his and led them upstairs to their bathroom where their shower awaited for them.

Hehe.
