I do not own Hetalia.
I wish I did.
I am not bashing countries.
Present.
It was after the meeting where the countries were discussing what was wrong with America. Granted he was unpredictable at times and you never knew if he was being serious or if he was just joking.
Canada was relieved that he was able to stop investigating for now. At least he bought America and Israel some time before they had to announce to the world that they were married. And thank the Lord that Canada and America's bosses have let them keep their states, provinces, and territories a secret. They did not want anything happening to them. They were their children, adopted or foster, they did not want another country to use them against them.
Canada was able to slip away after the others forgot he was there and went back to their arguing.
He remembered when he first met Israel or Hadassah*, as that was her name.
She was very sweet and unlike everyone else, she remembered him. Matthew knew that his brother often forgot about him to protect him from the others. It was good and bad at the same time.
Matthew got a taxi and went to a small diner to meet up with Alfred and Hadassah.
When he got there, he saw them in a corner booth and sat beside his brother, who sat across from his wife.
"Shalom Matthew, how was your day?" Hadassah asked.
"Hey, baby bro."
"Hello Hadassah, I am well and Alfred, you know that I am older than you." Matthew sighed.
"Only by 12 minutes."
Alfred was about to say something but the waitress brought pancakes, waffles, eggs.
"Will you two please stop bickering over who was born first? You both share a birthday even though you celebrate it on the days you got your independence. And even then, Matthew celebrates his first." Hadassah said.
"Thank you sœur."
"Essie, you're supposed to be on my side." Alfred whined.
Hadassah ignored him. "Matthew, how are your children?"
Matthew smile brightened. "Oh, they are amazing. But they got pretty competitive during Hockey season. I don't know how you handle fifty states during football season."
"Fifty kids are a handful. Michigan and Ohio can't be in a room together without fighting." Alfred said proudly.
Matt groaned. He remembered how they acted when he watched his nieces and nephews when Alfred started dating Hadassah.
Alfred took a bite of waffles. "Why would anyone ever eat anything besides breakfast food?"
Matthew took a bite of pancakes. "People are idiots Alfred."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Canada."
*Named after Queen Esther. Her name was Hadassah, but when she went to the palace to be queen, she changed it for her safety because Jews were not that popular with everyone. If you want to know more i suggest you pick up a Bible or go to Google. Essie is a nickname for Esther.
Guess the Avengers: AoU reference.
Guess the Parks and Recreation reference.
