A/N: Hey guys! Stuff gets serious up in here so I hope you like it. DON'T HATE ME!
Timeskip 1 week later through the portal to 2p world
Matt was in the hallway with Canada. He was nervous and felt like throwing up. Canada petted his cheek lightly. "Matt we can wait to tell them about us." Matt shook his head. "I told Mom and d- Oliver and François that I wanted to tell them something important." Canada frowned slightly and hummed. Canada stopped his petting and thought. "Just tell them, if they really love you then they will except you just as you are." Matt nodded. "And what if they don't Matthew, What will that mean for me?!" Canada flinched at Matt's outburst. Matt's eyes softened and he hugged the smaller Canadian. "I'm sorry, Canada. It's just that I'm worried." Canada nodded. Canada started to hum a familiar tone. Matt smiled at this as he heard Canada sing the words just above a whisper. "Everything stays, right were you left it, everything stay~" Matt smiled and finished the verse. "- but it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly. In little way~" Matt and Canada's face inched closer to each other till' they heard François yelling at them to hurry.
Matt walked slowly to the living room. The 2p Axis was sitting on the couch next to Oliver. Klaus and Prussia were lying on their stomachs facing the television. Spain was sitting on the recliner next to the couch with Romano in his lap. François was standing next to the arm of the couch closest to Oliver. He looked at Matt with a confused look, so did Oliver. Luciano and Kuro looked at each other smiling before they let out snickers. Matt sighed and signaled for Canada to come into the room. Everyone was looking expectedly at Matt for an explanation why he told them to meet here. Romano tugged on Spain's shirt slightly. "Why is it so quiet? What's happening, Tomato basta-?" Romano whisper was cut short at the sound of a jar full of change being shaken. Spain looked up to see all the 2p's either physically or mentally facepalming as Oliver shook a jar full of quarters.
Matt let out a snicker as Oliver motioned to the jar. Romano looked in the direction of the noise and frowned. "What the hell are you doing?" Oliver sighed. "50 cents, Romano." Romano scoffed and if he could glare in the direction of the jar. "What the hell did I do? What was that sound?" Oliver shook his head in disappointment while Spain gave him a sheepish smile. Romano let go of Spain's shirt and turned around full with a scowl. "I asked what the hell that was, dammit!" Spain facepalmed. Everyone was trying to hold in snickers or giggles as the fuming Italian turned red. "What the are you laughing at you bas-" Spain put a hand over the angry Italian's mouth. Oliver was still holding the jar and looked at the two. "This is my swear jar! If you cuss or utter a swear you will drop 25 cents. It will build up 25 cents every time you swear." Oliver finished with a smile. Spain sighed and leaned over and gave Lutz a dollar to pass to Oliver.
Canada nudged Matt's foot with his. Matt looked at him and saw Canada giving a look that said 'now or never' written all over it. Matt sighed and cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. He looked at his 'parents' and gave them a nervous smile. "Mom, Dad I got to tell you something important…really important." Oliver looked up at Matt as he placed Spain's dollar in the jar and sat back. François on the other hand leaned forward and motioned for him to go on. "Well I am kinda…OK a lot gay. Also Im kinda- OK hella gay for the sunshine known as Matthew Williams. Him and me have decided that-" Matt looked at Canada that pleaded if he accepted them being official. Canada smiled and reached for Matt's hand and holding it sweetly. François and Oliver looked at the gesture before looking at each other, and then back up at Matt. "-we have decide to make it official. He is my boyfriend and I'm his. We love each other dearly and hope that you accept us." Matt finished and looked at his parents, the people who raised them with a serious face.
Oliver and François looked at each other before a smile spread across their faces. Oliver shoved the jar into Luciano's arms before standing up and hugging Matt in a bone crushing hug. "Oh my dear I'm so proud of you!" François walked over to Matthew and Matt. He smiled and let out a giggle. "Well it's about time Matt. I thought you never tell." Matt and Canada blushed at this. "Was it that obvious?" François laughed and shook his head. "No I mean about our little Matt being gay. I and Oliver always knew but, we were waiting to see when he would tell!" At the statement everyone else in the room let out giggles and laughter, except for Matt who was trying to hide his blush.
Oliver smiled and looked at Matt. "Hey poppet could you go to the fridge? In the second to bottom shelf there are two trays full of cupcakes. Could you please get them for me so everyone could eat?" Everyone in the room shoot up at the sound of Oliver cupcakes. Everyone exchanged a look before Matt along with everyone else raced into the kitchen. Canada stayed in the same place he was before, as good as cupcakes sound… He didn't want to be remembered as that one country that died trying to get a cupcake. Canada felt someone put a hand on his shoulder and looked up. François and Oliver had dead serious looks. "Now you see if you break our dead Matty's heart w-" Oliver was cut off by François voice. "We will cut your dick off, understand?" Oliver gave François a 'really seriously' look before looking back at Canada and shrugging. Everyone came back into the room and François turned back to his normal self. Matt hugged Canada and he let out a squeak. "Oh did I scare you? I'm sorry." Canada smiled and hugged Matt back. Matt handed him a cupcake and everyone ate. Everything seemed normal in the house hold. Oliver and François were cuddling, Spain and Romano were sitting in the same spot they were in, Kuro was teaching Andres how to play Mario Kart 7, Luciano was in a Pokémon battle with Lutz, Prussia whispered something in Klaus's ear, which made Prussia get some frosting flicked onto him playfully, and now Matt and Canada were sitting on the floor cuddling. Canada felt almost at home… home
After all this time Canada forgot about his real home. He misses his home…
Through Portal 1p world
America walked into Japan's home. He felt exhaustion hitting him like a train as soon as he walked in. He stayed with Toris and Feliks till 8:00pm every single day. He was there till' the doctor said they were going to run some test. The doctor said they can come back again tomorrow. Now here he was subconsciously walking to the couch as Germany and Italy go to the kitchen. He plops on the couch lazily.
America looked up when he heard someone clear their throat. Japan was staring at him, his eyes had an emotion he couldn't quite place. Japan took a seat next to him and sighed. "Hey dude are you okay?" America said concerned. Japan shrugged. "I should ask you the same question, Alfred." America blinked as Japan used his real name. "I'm absolutely fine, fit as a fiddle." America smiled. Japan knew him long enough to know it was fake. Japan gave him a bored look before he held out his hand.
America took it as Japan led him to the hallway. He pulled him all the way to the end and stopped. America gave him a confused look. Japan noticed this and blinked still holding his hand. "We were being watched, we needed some privacy." America sighed. "Japan there is nothing to talk about. I am fine I don't know how clear I can say it. Stop worrying please?" Japan eyes softened and turned into an emotion that America had seen before a long time ago. "America I can't because I-" America knew what was next. Someone said the exact same thing, a few years ago. He felt Japan's grip on his hand tighten. "Watashi wa, watashi wa, Amerika no anata o aishite…" America let out a breath he hadn't known he held. "I love you too, Japan."
Japan gave him one of his rare smiles. America felt happiness bubble inside him. He had love the Japanese male for a long time. He was the only one who would listen to him and comfort him when all hope was lost. The American leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on the Japanese man. He felt the smaller man kiss back before they separated. Japan didn't let out any protest or angry remarks; he only had a loving look in his eyes. America swore his heart just exploded from the cuteness. America felt so happy that he could fly. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something is off. Really off…
….
He saw everything… His heart felt like you ripped it into more pieces. His hand gripped the knife harder. He was watching them sleeping together. It made him sick. "Why did you do this to me…" He placed a hand on the glass of the window. The sky let out a thundering roar. The smell of rain was heavy in the humid air. The man let his hand slowly fall to his side as rain droplets softly hit the window. Soon the rain was in full swing thunder blasted and lighting flashed. The man just continued to stare at the couple. He felt anger build in him. How dare they be so happy when he is drowning in his misery? He quickly drew back his fist to punch the window but regretted it. His hands found their way to his side and held it. He let out a angry sigh before looking into the window at the sleeping American. His eyes then settled coldly on the Japanese man next to him.
His teeth grinded together and his eyes had tears pricked at the ends. He blinked and stared up at the sky. "I'll make you pay… Both of you, I will destroy you… Every single one of you…"
Timeskip to morning
America felt someone nudge his side. He murmured a 'go away…' before pulling the blanket over his head. He heard a sigh before he heard footsteps. Finally peace and quiet, just what the American wanted. He felt himself on the border between sleep and wake till the blankets were ripped of the bed. He shot up and glared nothing in particular. Germany was now holding the blanket in his arms while Japan was on the side of the bed with Italy. Japan smiled at America as he reached over onto the desk for his glasses. "Hello sleepyhead, how did you sleep?" Japan said happily as America placed his glasses on his face. Germany and Italy gave each other a confused glance before just shrugging. They would tell them when it was time. Germany and Italy overheard everything they said and saw everything they did.
After breakfast Japan turned to the three and smiled at them. Japan was on the phone talking to China.
"Yeah Aru! I went over last night. They were so funny when I took Ivan over. They cooked for us and were down right adorable! They seem neutral right now. This is great, seeing that they are always at each other's throats! I remember when you were like that…"
"Uhh…Yeah that is a great relief. Well thanks for calling China, I'll tell America and the others what you said. I guess I'll see you later then."
"Ok then, bye Aru~ I miss you."
"Ok miss you too. Bye China."
Japan hung up and put his phone on the counter. He let out a sigh. He couldn't wait to tell them of his brothers. He cleared his throat to get everybody's attention. "Today I thought we go over my Burazāzu, North and South Korea." Germany looked at Japan. "I've never seen them at the meetings. Do they ever come?" Japan shook his head. "They keep to themselves. It's funny how they might be twins but, see the world so differently." Japan's smile fell for second before regaining its place. Everyone helped wash the dishes (except Italy cause' he was playing with the bubbles…). After that everyone got ready and was ready to go. Italy asked to drive them which everyone quickly, but kindly declined.
The drive was short and was enjoyable. Italy was babbling on about Pasta and how much he likes all his friends and Germany. Germany was telling Italy to keep quiet and let them have some peace. America was looking out the window of the car. Japan couldn't help but sneak peaks at him every now and again. They parked in the street in front of a blue and red house before everyone hopped out. Japan felt a wave of worry hit him once he set foot out of the car. America saw that Japan seemed a little off. He briskly walked over to him and hugged him. "What's wrong, Kiku?" Japan shrugged. "I feel like something is wrong I can't shake the feeling something bad happened." America frowned at this and hugged him tighter. "Come on I'll be OK. Try not to think about it." The American tried to reassure him.
Japan walked up to the door. He smiled and press the doorbell.
Ding
No answer
Ding dong
Still no answer
DING DONG DING DONG
No answer.
Japan crouched and lifted the door matt. He pulled out a shiny silver key. He then proceeded to put it in the key hole and turn it. The door slowly opened to reveal a dark house. "Maybe they aren't awake yet. We could come back later." Germany said as he stepped into the dark house followed by Italy. Japan shook his head. "S. Korea would have woken up earlier and made breakfast, then N. Korea would wake up because he smelled food and try to hit on S. Korea. I know because I had sleepovers before with them. You'll see they are kinda…interesting." Japan said this while waking up the one of two flights of stairs. He reached the top and stopped. The feeling got stronger and stronger with each step he took. It weighed in his stomach like stones and made him feel like he was going to throw up. He walked the familiar hallway till he reached S. Korea's room. He opened it and saw it empty. He let out an irritated sigh as he walked to N. Korea's room. "How many times have I told you N. Korea to not force h-" He stopped when he saw no one there. He felt his stomach do flips as he neared the gaming and entertainment room.
Japan opened the door and sighed. Both of the Korea's were sitting in their assigned bean bags sleeping peacefully next to each other. South Korea had on his blue hanbok while his brother wore a red one. He smiled at this; even if they yell and constantly fight with each other he knew that moments like these aren't that rare. If one hurt the other then they would feel bad, especially N. Korea but he would hardly show it. His brother S. Kore was quick to apologize if he hurt his twin and would feel bad till N. Korea accepted his apology. His smile widened at the memories flowing through his head. He took a step forward but abruptly stopped. He saw that cords from their systems were all over the floor. Glass shards were scattered all over as well. Japan sighed. They probably got into it and ended up breaking everything. He walked over to the nearest one, S. Korea. "Im Yong, wake up it's going on 10:00." The other made no movement. Japan poked him and got no reaction. Japan obviously annoyed, grabbed Im Yong's shoulder and was about to shake him till' he felt something soak his hand. He gingerly moved it so he could see. Red… All over his hand…
Japan picked up Im Yong and started to shake him hastily. He started to yell for the other and N. Korea. "Im Yong, Hyung wake up! Look at me!" Japan felt his vision blur as he kept shaking the poor Korean. This wasn't happening! That thought ran through his head millions of times as he franticly shook both Koreans. His shaking started to slack slightly. "Mewosamasu!, Shite kudasai me o samashimasu!" Japan heard footsteps running up the stairs and someone grabs him and draws him away from the Koreans. He tried to reach for one of the closest of the Koreans but, was held back. He felt himself getting light-headed from the stench of blood. He felt someone whisper softly in his ear. "Jebal jinjeong, ilbon" Japan slacked into the arms holding him. His eye turned dull as tears fell from them. "Im Yong…Hyung?" Japan whispered before his vision turned to black. The last thing he saw was Germany moving both of the Koreans only to see their seats blood soaked.
Timeskip to Hospital
Japan was looking through the glass barrier keeping him away from his brothers. He has been looking through it for the past 2 hours. Italy had called 911 when he saw the poor Koreans. The doctor in the ambulance said they are still breathing but barley. Japan saw a nurse take the Koreans bloody clothes out of the room. He sighed. Both were in white nightgowns. Him and China watched as they had wrapped them in bandages and hooked them up to the machines. They had lost one of the Koreans twice but now they are both stable and resting. China broke down in tears at the sight of the twins that Russia took him to talk to Poland and Lithuania. Germany and Italy went with them and left America and Japan alone. Japan saw a doctor walk up to the glass and knock on it, gaining his attention. The doctor gave him a sorrowful look. "We need to close the curtain so we can operate. You should go tell your guardian what's going to happen." Japan nodded. The doctor gave him a sad nod before pulling a string. The curtains fell and now the Koreans were out of sight.
Japan felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw sad America looking at him. Japan felt tears prick at his eyes, threatening to fall. America noticed this and hugged him gently. This threw Japan off the edge. Tears started to fall from his brown eyes as he buried his face in America's shoulder. America rubbed his back and kissed the top of his head. He saw a nurse starting to walk towards them. She looked at the two and smiled sadly. "They found this paper in Im Young pocket. They identified it as prior to the murder." The nurse looked at the crying Japanese man. "If you want we could give hi-" America shook his head. "He will be fine. Thank you for your service." The nurse nodded and went back to the room.
America let go of Japan and looked at the paper. He unfolded it gingerly and saw the contents. It was a pentagram written in dried blood and ink. His hand shook as he held it. Japan looked at the note and reached into the pocket of his uniform. He pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and started to unfold it. America looked at Japan. "Is that from…?" Japan nodded and opened it. A pentagram drawn in blood and ink was on the paper. America and Japan looked at each other. The same person did this. They hurt their friend and their family. What if they go after someone else? America and Japan shuddered at this. The killer could do this to anyone, they needed to warn everyone about this person. But who was it?…
Who were they…
