A/N: I'm so sorry, guys! I'm a huge procrastinator! ...The only excuse I have is that I was gone to camp for a week, but for the rest of the time, I have no excuse for the rest!
I made the chapter longer to make up for it, though!
DISCLAMER: If I owned Hetalia, there would be many more yaoi moments. I don't, however.
Chapter 3
"Veh~ Is that Wang?"
"I think so, I'll go check." A blonde man's head popped around the corner. His brown eyes sparkled. "There you guys are! I was wondering when the new recruit would come!" He tilted his head. "Where's Gilbert?" He had a Finnish accent.
"Everything's fine, aru," Wang told the man, waving high. "He's in another argument with Michelle. He should be here soon, aru." He then turned to Arthur, "This is Tino, aru. Tino, this is Arthur, aru."
"Nice to meet you, Arthur!" Tino came up and presented a hand to shake. Arthur took it and shook, quickly pulling his hand away. It felt awkward at how they acted like he'd been there forever!
"N-nice to meet you too, Tino."
Wang led them all forward and into a decent-sized room with two people – who sat, looking at them. "Everyone, this is Arthur, aru," he said to the ones sitting.
"Veh~ He has big eyebrows~" the red-head on the left said – Arthur recognizing the Italian accent he first heard in the cave.
"Feliciano-san! Don't be rude!" the black-haired one scolded in a Japanese accent.
"Veh! I was just pointing it out!" the other said, suddenly on the other side of the room.
"I-it's quite alright," Arthur said, confused. "I-I'm used to being called that."
"Sorry I'm late, guys! The awesome me is here now!" Gilbert pretty much crashed through the three in front. "We can start now!"
"Hey, Gilbert! How was your talk with Michelle?" Tino asked, acting like him being knocked over never happened. Arthur – on the other hand – was pissed.
"The usual. She's such a bitch!"
Wang got up from the floor he was knocked to, looking slightly annoyed, and took the place at a pedestal Arthur hadn't noticed before. "Roll call, aru!"
"Tino Väinämöinen, aru!"
"Right here!"
He marked off something. "Yao Wang. That's me, aru…." He marked something off again. "Kiku Honda, aru."
"Here, Yao-senpai."
"Right," more marks. "Gilbert Beilschmidt, aru!"
"Bow down to me!"
"No thank you, aru. Arthur Kirkland, aru."
"Here."
"Now, aru," He squinted at the paper. "Matthew Williams."
There was a faint noise, but nothing else.
"Gone again, aru," Wang sighed as he looked around.
"He's here. Didn't you hear him?" Gilbert asked. "Didn't you hear him?" He pulled on something and suddenly there was a man next to him, the albino holding his arm. "See?"
"Oh, aru," he sighed as he scratched something out. "Sorry again, Matthew."
"I-it's alright. I'm used to it," the violet-eyes man sighed. "I'm used to it by now."
"Alright, time for training, aru!"
A year later…
Arthur fluttered to the ground, panting. "How… was that?" he asked Wang, letting his wings droop. He had just completed a obstacle course. Not a long one, he wouldn't be able to do those for a while. He was only a beginner at flying. Fighting came first for the Guardians.
"… A minute to fly the whole thing," he said, stopping the watch. "Not bad, aru."
A messenger angel flew up to the team's perch. "Michelle wants to see you guys," he said, before handing Wang a paper and flying away to deliver more mail.
Wang opened the letter and skimmed it. "Looks like we have a mission, aru."
Everyone had a little more pep as they flew to Michelle's place. Arthur hardly made it – he was already tired out. Everyone else seemed fine.
Michelle meet them – well, most of them, Gilbert not very much – with a smile. "Welcome, guys! Arthur, you ready for your first mission?"
The Brit nodded in response.
"Good, here it is."
