Canada x Finland: Thank You for Noticing Me
I do not own Hetalia.
"G-good morning, Dad, Alfred..."
"Good morning, Matthew," greeted his father while Alfred opted for a mumbled, "Mmpf." his mouth full of...hamburger?
"Isn't-isn't it a li-little early to be eating hamburgers?"
He chewed for a moment before shaking his head and replying seriously, "Mattie, it's never too early to eat hamburgers. Never."
"So, what would you like for breakfast?" interrupted his father brightly.
"Um, pancakes again. With maple syrup."
"I've got the pancakes, but not the syrup. Sorry kid. It'll take a while to cook the pancakes, is that alright?"
"It's fine…" he mumbled, and took a seat next to his brother. "Er...what's this new school like?"
Alfred finished off his hamburger and slurped his milkshake (this was all rather thick, wasn't it? thought Matthew). "Oh, yeah, it's great! You gotta meet everyone. There's Yao, I think you'll like him, he really likes Hello Kitty and pandas for whatever reason...and this creep Ivan, watch out for him, and have I told you about that schizo Arthur? Yeah, he thinks unicorns and fairies exist, pfft, so stupid, and oh! Right, there's some…"
But his words faded to a distant buzz as Matthew absorbed the smell of sizzling pancake mix and the sound of his brother's animated chattering, lost in his thoughts.
"Class, this is Matthew Williams. Please say hello."
Mrs. Davis' class chanted a dreary "Hello."
"Mr. Williams will be with us for a month, but I'd like you to treat him as if he had been here since September. Matthew, you may sit at the back of the class next to Emil."
Emil doodled on his paper, not bothering to notice him as Matthew sat beside him, and the class resumed.
He sighed. It looked like no one would notice him here, either, and he'd just continue unnoticed...
