Enjoy, my pretties!
Ludwig answered a distressed call from Matthews parents, three days after he had moved in with them.
They tried to tell the German that he had run away earlier that day, making the blond aware that they never ever realised he had gone.
"Please, Ludwig we are so worried, what if he gets hurt and we get in trouble for it?" The Brit exclaimed making him tense up in anger.
"What if you get the blame? What if he gets killed?" The German cried fanning ignorance at the fact that he knew of Mattie's new circumstances.
"He won't, but our reputation and Al's could be tarnished, do you know where he is, mon ami?" A French voice spoke calmly down the phone.
"Yes, he's safe" Ludwig replied, not wanting to do the right thing but feeling obliged too.
"Ah, good, I thought that you might know, take care of him" they spoke before the line went dead. Ludwig was fuming, they didn't even ask for any proof that their child was fine.
Lovino watched the German silently as he tramped across the room steaming in anger. "Did the bastards finally fucking call?" He asked out loud, the German stopped in his tracks, clenching his fists.
"Yeah, they fucking did" he growled before walking in the direction of Feli for the Italian to help him calm down. Said Italian wasted no time slinging his arms around his furious lover, whispering kind things in order to make the red mist in his vision fade.
"I'm fucking guessing it didn't go fucking well?" Lovino grumbled, waiting to know what those bastards said in regards to what was happening.
Though, from Ludwig's reaction he could guess that the bastards said something stupid and rude, otherwise the German wouldn't have flipped out like he did.
"They didn't even care about him, only themselves" Ludwig yelled, the words from Feli stopping him from marching over to their house and killing them both.
"Calm down, tell us what happened" the Spaniard cut in, wanting a full report before he passed judgement
"They wanted to know if we knew where he was because their precious reputation would be tarnished if he got hurt, then when I told them he was safe they told me to look after him and just put the phone down" Ludwig frantically mumbled, shorting events as much as possible with the amount of intense fury flooding his veins at the current moment in time.
"That's it, I fucking hate them, those bastards are not allowed near me any more" Lovino shouted, it was the first time that Feliciano had ever seen the pair mutually agreeing on being angry. If the circumstances were different then he might have found the two of them amusing.
"Don't be so angry Uncle's they've always been like that" a quiet voice shot through the air causing the whole room to go into silence.
"Matthew" The Spaniard muttered sadly, not wanting the little Canadian to know of what his parents have said.
"How can you be so calm about those bastards?" Lovi cried out wanting to see some sort of emotion come from the Canadian, he didn't have to be strong all the time.
"Well, they are my parents and they have never intentionally hurt me" the boy announced, picking up a stack of paper from the corner and re-filling the printer. They gaped at the boy, he'd just heard that his parents didn't even care that he was gone and still managed to defend them.
How could somebody only see the good in these people? They were awful parents who only cared about themselves and Alfred.
"That's not the point, Birdy" a Prussian voice joined in from the hall. The others took a moment to figure out the boys nickname before coming back to the conversation at hand. Mattie looked down momentarily.
"If, I stay mad at them or get upset, will anything actually change?" the boy muttered not looking up once. The room was taken aback as the Canadians eyes lifted to meet them. Tears slid down his eyes silently making him lift his glasses and wipe his reddened eyes on his sleeve.
"If I cry, or plead, will they even hear me?" He asked knowing that the group knew the true answer to the boys questions
Matthew excused himself from the room before running upstairs.
"He's right, isn't he?" Feli sobbed wishing that he could make the pain go away from Mattie.
"Yes" Lovino whispered holding his husband close. "Feli, let's go for a walk okay, everything will be fine" Ludwig told his lover as he nodded towards the Spaniard.
The pairs decided to leave the house for a moment each of them taking a different route to think over the boys mature words of wisdom. They wanted to help the boy and protect him from the neglect that he had dealt with for eighteen years but now they realised that it was too late for that.
Now all they could truly do to help the young man was to be his friend. No matter what his awful parents had to say about the boy leaving home, he still had a family that loved him. Gilbert was left in an amazed shock, he made his decision to follow the kind-hearted blond before heading to where the boy went.
Lovino and his Spaniard lover found themselves walking towards the shops, as he held the Italians hand. "He's very brave, Lovi" Toni stated, thinking about what the Canadian had told them before disappearing.
"Yes, but he shouldn't have to be tomato bastard, it's all my fucking fault I should have tried to get him out of that shitty fucking house sooner" the Italian ranted before being stopped by a pair of soft lips upon his.
"This is not your fault, we are going to keep him company and be the best damn family that he had ever had" Toni announced, his enthusiasm becoming nauseating to his small lover. Lovi found his eyes being glued to the sparkly gem-like eyes of his husband, watching them dance with hidden plans and schemes.
"Why did I marry you?" Lovi asked with a small smile, before he concealed it between his teeth.
"Because, I have a fabulous ass?" The Spaniard stated with a cheeky flash of his pearly white teeth in a Cheshire cat grin
"Stupid" Lovi snarled, but underneath he was giggling at the confidence of his Antonio.
"Or was it because, you just can't resist me?" Toni questioned, pulling his lover close and pulling him into an alleyway.
His lips darted to the other males, tasting him.
"We have to stop, now" Lovi muttered in between kisses.
"Why?" Antonio asked before kissing him quickly again.
Toni moved his lips down from Lovi's mouth to his neck, leaving dark hickeys as he went. The Spaniard's hand moved up Lovi's shirt grazing the soft skin as he started to play with the Italians nipples. The grinded against each other as Lovi pushed him away.
Panting slightly, Antonio was hyper aware of everything around him. "Not here" the Italian whimpered before grabbing his lover's arm and rushing back to the house.
The Prussian dashed off out of the room to follow the distraught Canadian to their joint room. He never wanted the little Birdy to cry, and he never wanted to see it happen ever again. Up until meeting Matthew, Gilbert could honestly say that he never put much thought into who he would end up with.
But now, he saw someone who meant the world to him.
This boy had managed to turn the twenty-four year old's life upside down in a matter of days. As he approached the door he heard Matthew inside sobbing his heart out. The Prussian knocked lightly before walking into the room.
"Birdie?" The Prussian murmured, looking at the boys fragile face flooded with tears.
"Gil, I'm sorry for being so rude and leaving like that" the Canadian whimpered.
Gilbert couldn't help himself as he found his body holding the boy close hugging him and chasing away his fears.
"It's okay, we all understand, but you don't have to hide all your emotions away" the Prussian lulled the boy into feeling secure in his arms before leaning down to leave a chaste kiss on the mans head.
"I don't want you all to worry about me or pity me, I want to help all of you like you helped me" Birdie cried holding the Prussian tighter and tighter.
"You don't owe us anything, we care about you and that's why you're living here" Gilbert spoke calmly.
"Thank you, Gil..." The voice trailed off and the albino found his eyes looking down at Mattie.
He removed the boys glasses and curled up next to the now sleeping frame of his little Birdie.
Soft, sweet breath's left the boy's mouth as the Prussian stroked his hair.
The small strand of untamable blond looking unbelievably cute from the angle he was sat.
He moved his hand to try to flatten it only to feel the body lay against him shake. He found his fingers playing with it momentarily, as curiosity got the best of the man. As he tugged at it the boy moaned and shook again, almost motionless thrusting his hips forward.
"What was that?" The Prussian mumbled to himself, watching the Canadians actions with an intimate amount of detail.
He decided to tug on the curl again, just to see if he would have the same reaction, to Gil's surprise, the boy let out a chocked desperate moan and bucked his hips up into the air.
The Prussian gasped as realisation set in.
Gil quickly pulled his fingers from the piece of hair, being sure to avoid it.
His usually pale face was aflame with a bright crimson blush.
He came to the conclusion that, that piece of hair was not to be touched unless Mattie wanted him too, suddenly realising how Toni makes Lovi behave when stroking his hair.
He also had a strange memory of being called a pervert by Feli once or twice after patting his head.
Gilbert smiled at the boy in his arms, he was really cute, it was a shame that his eyes were rimmed with tears.
The albino snuggled against the Canadian enjoying the warmth that was radiating from his body. He would defiantly make sure that the boy was never sad about this again.
He was much too beautiful and too awesome to have to deal with something horrid like his family.
Yes, that was it, Mattie was just like him.
His Birdie was awesome.
Gilbert found his eyes drooping as he heard the door open and shut with ragged breath's coming from the other room.
"What are you doing?" an exited voice asked the other male stood in the room.
"Nothing that concerns you" the other harshly replied making his companions face fall in rejection.
"If you must know, I am making sure that someone I care about is alright" the man told the other wanting his friends face to be happy once more.
It seemed to have worked at the blond grinned at the response, "I didn't know that you were helping someone" the voice rang out wanting to know more about this mystery person.
"I don't tell you everything" the man told the blond nonchalantly
He looked into the other mans eyes before walking away by his side.
"You know you can tell me anything right?" The blond giddily told him, wishing with all his might that this would cause the other to crack and tell him what was going on.
"He's an old friend who was in a position that he didn't deserve to be in, something awful happened and so I am saving him" he spoke, finally giving in to the blond haired man's pleas.
"I see, that's really nice of you, what's his name?" The giddy one asked, thinking that this would be the last question he would ask before dropping the subject, he wouldn't want his crush yelling at him again.
"As I said, he's an old friend, you might know him actually, we were all at school with him after all" the other started before looking into the others eyes.
"His name is Matthew Williams and I am going to help him find his true love" he declared before walking in front of his companion into the night.
