A funny kind of love story
Written by: Chiabride
A/N: Ok so originally this was going to be a one shot but then I thought that it wouldn't get as much justice if I didn't make it longer. Ok anyone who is reading this and has been reading my other fic involving fem!Canada I love you. Also if you are wondering if I've stopped caring about said fic, don't be worried chapter 9 is being written slowly so that I can get the characters perfect. If you haven't read it before reading this, well you should check it out. A little warning though when it comes to this story. First even though it's supposed to be based on actual events, some of the things in here are changed to protect the privacy of my friend and her family.
Second if at any part of this story gets disjointed it will have been done either by accident or because it was told that way to me.
**Update**
This and all future chapters of this story have been officially picked up for beta-reading by the wonderful marvelous Kunoichi-Shea.
Couples: Main AmericaxFem!Germany with a side of CanadaxFem!Prussia and EnglandxFem!France
Chapter Title: Meet American soldiers Alfred and Matthew Jones
Disclaimer: We should all thank Hidekaz Himaruya for Hetalia. We should all shoot the person writing this story for butchering the characters. I do not own Hetalia the Japanese man mentioned above does.
Italics mean: Speaking in German
Alfred F. Jones laid on his bunk in the barracks waiting for chow time. He'd just gotten off from sentry duty with his twin who had magically disappeared as soon as their replacements had shown up. Turning on his side Alfred growled. Before Alfred could even remember he'd wanted to be a hero and would idolizing the men in the bed time story their father would read to them. Both Matthew and Alfred's parents were immigrants, their father Arthur had immigrated from England and had legally changed his last name from Kirkland to Jones and their mother Francesca had immigrated from France. When their father wasn't being sexually harassed by their mother the two would instill in their boys how much pride they had for the country their children had been born into. So when Alfred was fifteen he had begged his parents to let him join the military but both his parents had adamantly refused telling him to wait until he was eighteen. This did not stop him and every year after it was the same question until he actually hit eighteen and then he dragged his brother with him down to get recruited.
Training had been tough on the two whom many would still consider boys but it was all worth the pain in Alfred's mind as they had been sent straight to Germany. The problem in Alfred's mind though was that they had been sent to West Berlin and all they ever seemed to do was sentry duty but that seemed just fine with Matthew. But thinking about his brother, Alfred noticed that recently there was a kind of dreamy far off gaze the guy got right before they went off duty and when they were finally off duty the guy would suddenly take off.
The loud bang of the barracks door as it collided with the outside wall nearly knocked Alfred out of his bunk in surprise. Then his desperate looking twin was on him pulling him straight out of their bunk by the collar of his uniform. He was looking down at Alfred eyes pleading and speaking almost unintelligible. "She said yes… I can't believe she said yes… Alfred you have to help me!"
"Whoa Mattie slow down! I don't understand half of what you're saying. Who said yes?" Alfred asked trying to get his brother to calm down. A thought struck Alfred something that left a very large distaste in his mouth so detangling himself from Matthew's grip he asked. "Wait! Mattie this doesn't have anything to do with that commi-bastard's older sister? Because Mattie that guy is fucking crazy."
Matthew at this gave Alfred a look that said he didn't know what the other man was talking about before it finally clicked in his head and with an adamant shake he exclaimed. "No Alfred! First off would you please stop calling him that and second I've told you a hundred times Yekaterina and I are not like that… Wait… That's really not important right now I've met someone and I need your help!"
Alfred's attention was in full force at his brother's plea for help. He was perfectly aware at how shy his brother was around people and he knew for certain that if he had not begged his brother, Matthew would never have signed up with him. So Alfred's next move was not exactly surprising as he stood straight and gave his brother a salute and before saying. "Private first class Alfred F. Jones reporting for duty sir!"
"A-Al can you please be serious I'm really in trouble here." Matthew stuttered which was something he'd stopped once they had finished their training as cadets so who ever this girl was, was probably something to cause his brother to be in such a state. So ending the salute he put both hands on his brother's shoulders before saying. "So little bro you've got girl trouble right? Tell me how the hero can help you!"
"Al there's this girl that I've had my eye on and-" Matthew started. But Alfred quickly interrupted. "Is it one of the nurses in the infirmary cause if you need me to I can put a good word in-"
"No Al… Listen it's not one of the nurses this is a local girl and I've already asked… OH GOD I ASKED HER OUT AND SHE SAID YES AND I'M TOTALLY SCREWED!" Matthew said realization dawning on him once more and panic coming back. Alfred of course promptly smacked his brother which snapped him out of his state. Calming down Matthew went back to what he was saying. "O-okay so I asked her out and she said yes. But she said on the condition that it was a double date."
"That's awesome Mattie! Though I've never really been into the whole double/blind date thing I'll help you anyway I can. Remember I was pretty popular back when we were in school so I'll be able to help you get points with your date. Girls are no trouble."
At this announcement from his brother Matthew was no longer sure that he had made a good choice in asking his brother for help. But it was now too late to look for another person and Matthew just hoped that his brother didn't end up ruining the date.
Explanations:
England and France: Ok so England and France have been named as Alfred and Matthew's parents. Nothing unusual about that really because going by Hetalia standards they are counted as such. But Arthur's last name was changed and France is a woman named Francesca. I would have truthfully kept France's name Francis but I have an aunt named Francis and that would have been awkward for me. By the way in the original draft of this story Francesca was going to be half Native American and Half French because the mother of the men I am writing about is half Native American.
