Prussia x Canada Chapter 1
It had all started in November. Gilbert and Matthew were living in their apartment in Ontario, (after a VERY long Rock Paper Scissors match, deciding where their official location was) when Gilbert had noticed that something was wrong. Matthew was acting sad all the time and slept almost all day. Gilbert had made Matthew see a doctor, but nothing was wrong medically.
It wasn't until about a week later, over breakfast in their small-ish dining room that Gilbert decided to confront Matthew about it.
"Hey birdie," gilbert started the conversation with his favourite nickname for Matthew,
"Mmm?" Matthew responded with a mouthful of the pancakes they were eating,
"What's been up with you lately? You seem so sad!" gilbert looked at Matthew with concerned eyes,
"I- Uh, nothing. Nothing's wrong." Matthew avoided the question, but Gilbert didn't buy it, he could practically see the pain hidden in Matthews's deep, purple eyes.
"No. Tell me, why are you lying!?" Gilbert put down his fork and stared at Matthew, forcing him to look at him,
"I'm not! I'm just fine thank you!" Matthew refused to look at gilbert, staring at his plate instead,
"Matthew Williams, Stop. Look at me." When Matthew didn't respond, Gilbert grabbed his chin and pulled his head up to look at him.
"Tell me what's wrong! Is it Alfred again? Tell me something- Anything!" Matthew searched his eyes, looking for something,
"No… No. It's not Alfred. It's just- Just… I don't know." Matthew reached up a hand and pulled Gilbert's wrist away, releasing him.
"That's not good enough! I care about you, so let me help you!" Gilbert felt tears sting at the backs of his eyes, but he pushed the feeling away,
"You can't just make me sit here and not do anything to help!" Gilbert started to raise his voice, getting frustrated,
"Gill…" Matthew looked up at Gilbert, using his pet-name,
"Please, Please let me in! Let me help!" Gilbert got up from his seat and grabbed both of their cleared plates,
"Gill-" Matthew started, but Gilbert cut him off,
"No Matthew," he didn't turn around, just kept walking to the kitchen,
"Please, just… don't" '-Don't push me away again. Don't tell me your fine, when you're not.' But the words were left unspoken, for both Matthew and Gilbert had already heard them.
