At the manor, everyone was fairly crazy, for example, Lukas and Arthur 'claimed' to practice magic and Elizabetha had a very unhealthy obsession with gay couples.
With the bizarre and crazy people at the manor its no wonder the manor had such weird events, gatherings, and game nights.
"OK! This is how you play!" Alfred's already booming voice shouted through the microphone. Everyone who worked inside the Manor was in the ballroom, getting ready for what was possibly the dumbest/oldest tradition the Manor has ever had.
The ballroom was a regular huge room that spread from as far as the eye could see. Wide windows were all around the room giving the room more natural light than a room really needs.
The room was yellow that was originally supposed to be comforting orange, but it was a bad idea to let Gilbert and Mathias paint the room for extra money.
The Matchmaking Night of Revenge was originally made as a way to stop Alfred, Mathias, and Gilbert from breaking the house down when Alfred and Matthew's father went out of town. The game was supposed to waste time by letting the over-energetic employee's at the manor burn of steam by trying to get other employees together in a very stupid way.
"Throughout the whole entire day you will be put into a group, Group A or B- once in that group the group leaders will explain everything you need to know. The group leaders today are going to be me and Elizabetha- any objects?"
Instantly hands shot up, but Alfred quickly ignored them. This happened every time, usually the leaders of the groups were Elizabetha and Kiku but everyone knew Alfred was more fitted for the leader than Kiku. "In these groups you will be put into teams as you already know. Though this year there is an uneven number of people here so there is one group of three, but that's it!" Alfred explains on top of the stage Elizabetha and he pulled out to make the game seem more professional looking.
Alfred takes out a paper from the pocket of his dreams "We'll start with Group A, lead by Elizabetha. Please go to the right side of the ballroom if you are in Group A."
Not many people at the Manor naturally liked this game- mostly because it was unpredictable and varied on how well you knew a certain person. For example last time the game was played Group A was assigned to get Feliks and Toris together but Group A didn't win because some of the team members didn't even speak to Toris or Feliks like Antonio and Yao.
"Ok Team Spice will be..." The teams were chosen randomly for a hat (at least that was what everyone was told) and after they were chosen the group leaders would pick the team name/title based on their personality. The group names were named by original Manor employees; Team Spice (Elizabetha), Team Sweet (Matthew), Team Charm (Antonio and Esperanza), Team New (Kiku), Team Fire (Mathias), Team Lust (It was a joke that Arthur made that just stuck), Team Hero! (Alfred), and Team Intel (Gilbert- Elizabetha refused to have a team called team awesome)
Alfred looked down at the paper in his hand "Elizabetha and Peter!" Alfred mentally crossed out Elizabetha name in the list of people who can win this time. If Peter was on Elizabetha's team she would be stuck babysitting.
"Team sweet will be Mattie and Katyusha!" Huh? That was actually good.. If they were less shy then maybe they could be able to win this round. Alfred thought to himself.
"Team Charm, is Angelique and Lovi~" Yeah... they aren't going to win, by the end of the game Lovino was probably going to end up finding Antonio and killing him when he finds out Antonio ate his tomato soup that took Elizabetha five hours to make last night.
"It's Lovino! You American Bastard!" Lovino screamed at Alfred while Alfred just chuckled and ruffled his misshaped hair.
" Come on Lovi~ Don't be such a cranky pants," Alfred says, in a teasing tone while Lovino's blush became as red as a tomato.
Alfred snickers then looks back at the paper," Team New, is going to be Leon and Paula!" ha. Well that team is going to go in the dumps. Especially since Leon was going to be Group B's person to match up...
"Team Fire is going to be Natalia and Ivan." 'Oh crap! I almost forgot about that!' Alfred thinks.
Alfred laughs nervously and ruffles his hair, "Ohh.. I forgot to mention! At least one of you guys in a team have a good friendship/ relationship with someone you're trying to get together, so you guys aren't as doomed like last time."Alfred says, explaining everything that all the experienced members in the Manor already knew.
" Okay, since we got that settled...Team Lust will be no surprise, Francis and yes surprise Emil!" Alfred chuckled as everyone was staring dumbstruck at Emil, who was blushing like a tomato and glaring at Alfred.
Alfred was starting to love everything about picking names out of a hat.
"Why the hell is my little brother in Team Lust?" Lukas asked sternly, looking at the laughing idiot on the ballroom stage.
Alfred straightens up and sighs while looking happily at Lukas "It was Elizabetha idea, I have in charge of Group B, not Group A- so I actually don't know who they will be matchmaking. Just chill,k?"
"Okay now, The people who are honored to be apart of the great Hero Team-" Half of the room then groaned, not forgetting how Alfred usually made a speech about how important being in Team Hero meant to the universe "You must remember that a Team as strong as the one Elizabetha created will be able to take down all the avengers! Of course only if the avengers were to suddenly become evil-"
"Alfred, just get to the fuckin point!" Lovino complained.
Alfred swat off Lovino "Yeah, yeah the amazing Team Hero of group A will be ‚ Romeo and Esperanza!" And suddenly the lights shut off and two spotlights showed down to Esperanza and Romeo, who were currently having a churro eating contest with Antonio, Laura, and Lars.
Romeo and Esperanza high-fived, swearing that they will be sure to win this time.
"This was a good choice, Elizabetha. Any who Team Intel is Toris and Ludwig. Now, everyone who was just called please go to the right side of the ballroom where Elizabetha is right now." Alfred says, pointing at Elizabetha who was on the right side of the stage talking to Roderich.
Alfred looked at the group of people who stayed in front of him. Mathias and Gilbert were grinning at each other, while Arthur looked unamused and just wanted them to start the bloody game already.
Alfred then cleared his throat "Okay, Now Group B- this match is supposed to be much harder than the match in Group A since Group B is for the most experienced group. Okay, team Spice is going to be Laura and Vash."
Vash soon groaned and started to push the touchy Belgium girl off of him while she was trying to hug him.
"Team Sweet is Lars and Tino!"
Immediately everyone in the ballroom started talking about how unfair it was for them to be paired up together. Lars and Tino were responsible for winning the last matchmaking game, by getting Lukas and Mathias to finally accept their feelings and start going out. They were the perfect yet abnormal team in manor history, putting them together could only mean trouble for everyone.
"Come on guys, it's not a big deal. Team charm is going to be Antonio and Im Yong Soo." Alfred says changing the subject before a riot comes on, again.
"Team New is going to be Ravis and Lilli- this is your first time competing since you guys just past the age, if I were you I would gather some allies so it would be an easier first time playing." Alfred, says to Ravis and Lilli, who nod their head in gratitude.
"Okay, Team Fire is going to be Yao and Roderich"
"WHAT! That's as unfair as Lars and Tino on the same team! They'll win!" Ludwig argues at Alfred.
Yao and Roderich were a team that didn't seem to mix that well, but they were responsible for getting the Manor biggest couple together, Tino and Berwald aka Sufin. Having them on the same team would not end well for others especially if they decide to ally with Tino and Lars, again.
"Yes, I get it. The hat put unfair pairs up, I noticed. Team lust is going to be.." A laughing sound is heard throughout the ballroom. Alfred was laughing heavily, his face was turning red.
"Alfred! Straighten up, you're being indecent!" Ludwig ordered.
Alfred slowly straighten's up and tries to hold his laughter " Team Lust is going to be ...*snicker* GILBERT AND ARTHUR!" The whole room is silent until a laugh escapes and soon almost everyone in the room was laughing.
"You git! I am not a fuckin pervert! You can't honestly think that I'm on the same level as the fuckin frog in perversion!" Arthur argues, pointing at Francis who was feeling just a little bit hurt.
"He's right Alfred! Let me guess you and Mathias are going to be Team Hero and you're leaving me with the old man, who only drinks tea and makes sarcastic remarks about every single fuckin' thing in the universe!" Gilbert says, fusing.
Alfred puts his hands up in surrender "Calm Down, dude it's only a name. Let's continue!"
"Alfred I swear..."
"Team Hero is an important part of life, so we can have hero's to fight against the dark side, the Dark Guilds, the Death Eaters, the Titans, and the-"
"GET TO THE FUCKIN POINT ALFRED!" Lovino screams, causing Alfred to stop talking and look at him curiously.
"What's wrong Lovi, I was just doing my speech."
"To hell with your speech, wrap this up. I want this game to be over soon. And my name is not Lovi! It's Lovino! Get it?! L-O-V-I-N-O !"
Alfred sighs, sadly "Ok, I understand you don't want be to give you a nickname. Team hero is going to be Mathias and me.."
"You've got to he fuckin kidding me!" Gilbert screams. "The hat was able to put you two idiots together but not me and my bro together! What the hell!That is so not awesome!"
Alfred puts his hands up in defeat again, "Come on Gi, your making a scene." Alfred says anxiously, trying to get Gilbert off the the stage and less close to attack him.
For a few minutes Gilbert and Alfred were wrestling each other on the floor, until Elizabetha came up and slapped both of them with her skillet.
"You guys are acting so immature" She says, going up to the stage and getting the paper that read who's everyone's team was. She cleared her throat and began to read from the page.
"Okay, Team intel will be Berwald, Feliks, and Eduard- You guys are all experienced to get through this aren't you?" Elizabetha asked the boys, they nod their heads in agreement.
Elizabetha smiles at them, then ruffles her hair and stares back at the piece of paper in front of her and squints in confusion at the paper "Alfred can you come here?"
Alfred who was recovering from his injury patted his head softly before heading back to the stage, next to Elizabetha and takes the paper. Alfred checks the microphone to make sure the speakers were still working.
Once he realized they started working Alfred puts on his regular smile "Okay! This is the last one until we go into our groups. The Next team is Team Lukas and Mei, which is now Team Lukas and Mei without Mei because Mei refused to show up!" Alfred says, in the most fake cheerful voice Matthew has ever heard.
Lukas said nothing, but all he could think about is pounding Alfred's face into sidewalk.
Alfred Fuckin Williams or Jones or whatever, I will get you back. I swear it on my life.
" Okay, so Group A please follow Elizabetha to the library while Group B please stay here."
Matthew followed Elizabetha to the large library that only Roderich, Yao, and Arthur spent time in. All the walls were filled with dark brown wood bookshelves with thousands of books on the shelves that varied from Children Psychology to Geometry.
The room was in a rectangular shape and in the middle of the room was one hardwood polished coffee table and four comfortable chairs that were made for sitting down and falling asleep while reading.
Matthew and the rest of the group sat down on the comfortable carpet floor directly in front of the comfortable chairs and coffee tables while Elizabetha makes sure everyone was inside and she had all the paper work settled out.
"Matthew, can you explain to me about what exactly we are doing" Katyusha asks sitting next to Matthew.
Her hair was a silver and hair short which made her look ordinary but then you would see her eyes and will re think that idea when you see her beautiful and irregular blue eyes. They showed that she has been in danger more than one time as well as the feel of sorrow that seemed to be so familiar to her and her siblings.
Though she was strong, Matthew knew that. He heard stories from Alfred about all that they have done for him and Matthew still had the feeling Alfred was hiding something about them.
Either way, Matthew thought it was impossible for someone to smile in that hurricane of sadness and memories- but all the Braginsky's were strong and thought about the future unlike the past that would swallow them up in a world wind.
Matthew nodded and pointed to Elizabetha "When Elizabetha and Alfred were eight and five they created this game called Matching were everyone was put into groups and assigned to get two people together"
Matthew dropped his hand and turns at Katyusha and smiled "They created this game as a secret from my father, since we only play it when my dad is out of town."
Matthew thinks back when Alfred first thought of this idea and made his team try to get Elizabetha and Gilbert realize their feelings for each other and at the same time Elizabetha trying to get Gilbert and Mathias to kiss. "We are assigned partners by 'the hat'" Matthew say's in air quotes "While Alfred and Elizabetha give us our team names- then we are sent away to get more information about who were going to try to set up."
"We are scored by Kiku, who also helped create this game. You get certain points depending on what exactly you do. You get extra points if you think of the 'ship ' or match before even starting the game,that's why everyone in our team were studying the other team so much. You win by getting the people together and having the most points- but you can also win by finding out who the other team is trying to get together."
"And if you win you get to decide what we do after we finish the game, that's why we have Revenge in the game title."
Katyusha nods and thanks Matthew, as well as tries to think who was exactly in the other team "Matthew, do you have an idea who were trying to get together?" She asks.
Matthew thinks thoroughly and looks around the room until he see's Natalia, Ivan, and Toris talking politely and his eye's widen.
Matthew gulps and nods at Katyusha, as well as points at her siblings "Were setting Alfred with someone."
Katyusha frowns and stares at her siblings, nothing was strange about them talking to Toris. What is going on? Katyusha thinks. "How do you know?" She asks, turning to look straight at Matthew.
Matthew looks back at Katyusha "You and your siblings are super close to Alfred." Matthew then turns and points at Francis who was currently flirting with the blushing Emil. "Francis and Alfred were close when he was younger. But Esperanza and Lovino are also here." Matthew says, pausing to see if Katyusha was understanding.
"Esperanza and Lovino are usually in whatever group Antonio is in, but Esperanza is our cousin and Lovino was Alfred's first friend after me. It's obvious that Alfred was picked to be in a ship‚ but it's going to be hard to find out who the other person is."
Katyusha nods and looks around "Maybe we can do process of elimination, we can think of who people may think Alfred would look good with. As well as who he hangs out a lot."
Matthew smiles and nods his head "That's a great idea, so lets start.. you think of people and I'll see if it matches."
Katyusha nods and thinks "umm.. First are the two people always on the same team?"
Matthew nods. "usually, but not always."
"Okay, How about Kiku?"
Matthew thinks for a moment and shakes his head "Kiku doesn't participate in the game because he's the scorer and the photographer."
Katyusha nods in understanding, she then closes her eyes and thinks for a minute "Francis"
Matthew admittedly stiffens "No. Elizabetha doesn't like Francis since he flirts with Roderich all the time, she would never set him up. Especially with someone who's her close friend."
"Okay, wait... Isn't Arthur in his group?"
Matthew's eyes widen, why didn't he think of that? Matthew nods "Yes he is, when I think of it, that would be the best idea we can make."
"I guess this means going to try getting Alfred and Arthur together."
"It seems that is the case. This couldn't be easier than trying to get Lukas to slap Mathias on the face."
(Group B is trying to get Leon and Emil together- Hongice)
"Urgh.. Why do I have to be in the same team as you?!" Gilbert complains, while walking down the corridor with Arthur who was complaining as much as Gilbert was.
"Oh please! Like it's a walk in the park to be your partner too! All you do all day is drink beer, stay in your office doing god knows what, and think about Roderich- who clearly has no interest in you or Elizabetha! Now shut the fuck up and think of a plan!"Arthur commands back to Gilbert.
In all true honesty, Arthur knew this was a terrible subject to talk to Gilbert about but he was sick and tired of Gilbert complaining of being stuck with him. Whenever Arthur got angry this was his tactic to stop someone from annoying him, remind them that he isn't an idiot then threaten them with their greatest secrets until they gave in to his stubbornness and shut up. It usually worked, but Gilbert was definitely something special ...
"I will not! And please we all know that you have no room to talk! Don't forget that I still know about your feelings about mister- Ow! Crap your punches hurt for such a little dude!" Gilbert whines , clutching his now bright red cheek.
This was another way to get people to stop annoying Arthur, first threaten then give an injury, no one wanted to know the third way.
Arthur just sighs, and moves to kitchen to get another danish that was on the counter. He takes a bit of the fruitful danish and stares back at Gilbert who was now sitting at the small table that was in the kitchen for the cooks break time and as a serving table for special events.
"So where supposed to get Leon and Emil together, I don't know about you but I believe we have a great advantage."
Gilbert looks at Arthur in confusion- Emil hated Gilbert and Arthur has a rivalry with Yao who was related to Leon, they were the pairing that had no shot in winning- even the two idiots Mathias and Alfred had a better chance of getting Emil and Leon together then them. "Huh?"
Arthur sighs and puts down his danish " Emil's partner is Francis while Leon's is Paula, my cousin- we will be able to separate then away from Leon and Emil then we will win against the other team lust because they will be separated. We don't need to match them up we just have to beat the frog and we will have that one request"
Gilbert slowly gets up "So you and I get Francis and Paula to separate their partners and bring Francis and Paula somewhere else- like lock them in a closet and then we will win against Team Lust without having to get Emil and Leon together because we get points for separating partners."
Arthur smirks and nods "We should get to work, but first which closet should we put the frog in?"
Points
blush - 10
hug - 50
separate them from group- 10,000
serious conversation - 20,000
peck on cheek- 30,000
kiss- 50,000
passionate kiss- 100,000
confession- 200,000
date- 1,000,000
accept relationship- 1,500,000
finding out the match before told- 1,000,000
"So what is so urgent that you couldn't wait until we finished the game?" Alfred asks the nervous alliance team of Lovino, Esperanza, Angelique, and Romeo.
They were in the security room, where Kiku was supposed to be so he could video tape and collect points for all the team, but their was a problem and Alfred was sent to fix the malfunction. While Mathias was busy snooping around his boyfriend's desk for any trace of licorice or gum.
"What the hell do you think! We wanted to warn you about something important!" Lovino and Esperanza shout angry at the idiotic Canadian\ American.
"For group A Elizabetha decided she wanted us to get two people in our group together, like the time we decided that Group A was going to try to get Gilbert together with Mathias while Group B wanted to get Elizabetha who was on the same group as Gilbert." Angelique explained.
"She told us that she wanted us to get Francis and Matthew together" Angelique finishes, in a spilt second Alfred stands up from the computer camera's and looks at Angelique bewildered.
"Elizabetha sent your whole group trying to get Mattie and Francis together ?"
Angelique nodded and in the background hears Romeo whisper something in Lovino's hear "Are you sure lying to Alfred is a good thing? He can end up in injurying someone."
Lovino swats his brother away.
Alfred looks at the group in front of him and thinks "Why are you telling me this? We're supposed to be on different teams, going against each other."
Angelique looks at Alfred challengingly "Does it matter? Don't you want to save your brother from Francis?"
Alfred stares at Angelique "What if I'm ready for my brother to finally be in a relationship with his first love? Wouldn't a good brother leave them be and watch as my brother has is happily ever after?"
Angelique scoffs "You'll be a good brother protecting him from the heartbreak that every woman and man who loved Francis had once he regretted them after a one night stand. Wouldn't you rather play it safe?"
"Angelique is really good at convincing people isn't she?" Romeo whispers to Esperanza.
"She gets it from Francis, but the best is Alfred when it comes to convincing. He's defintely something strange."
Two long minutes past and the staring contest continues until Alfred says "Your right, I rather play it safe than see my brother sad. Where's Francis?"
"In his office- come with me." Angelique says smirking, walking out of the room.
T^T
Alfred found Francis walking with Arthur. Arthur and Francis were in a deep silence which was strange for both of them, Francis seemed to be thinking about something important while Arthur was in his usually scowl.
They were walking threw the room of embarrassment. The room of embarrassment opened on two sides, the left side of the room and the right side. The doors were unlike regular doors and were full see through doors that looked liked they were supposed to be lawn doors instead of inside doors.
The room of Embarrassment was called the Room of Embarrassment because this was the room that was filled with picture day pictures from almost everyone who lived in the manor, as well as a whole munch of other embarrassing picture from vacations, birthdays, field trips, holidays, and random events.
"Francis!" Alfred screamed, causing Francis and Arthur to look up in surprise when Alfred raced over and in a second later punch Francis so hard in the jaw, that Francis fainted a second later.
"Well I guess that works too..." Arthur mutters to himself as Francis falls to the ground.
Quietly Romeo locks the lawn doors, making sure to pull the curtains down so Arthur and Alfred didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.
Alfred breath finally goes down from running to the Room of Embarrassment from the Security room and looks up from Francis to meet Arthur's emerald eyes.
"Oh hey Artie! Didn't see you here!" Alfred says as Arthur goes toward the door to leave, shoving the curtain away. Arthur turns the doorknob and nothing happens.
Arthur frowns as the doorknob and pulls again with more strength. Nothing. He pulls and turns the doorknob again. Nothing
"Shit." Arthur says under his breath. He sighs and turns to Alfred who was looking at Arthur curiously while on the floor with a sharpie in his hand. "It appears that were locked in."
Alfred's eyes widen and he jumps back up from the ground going to the door to try opening the door himself.
2 minutes later Alfred stops, realizing that it was pointless and goes to sit next to Arthur.
"You know Arthur I think I know exactly whats happening." Alfred says to Arthur, who immediately blushes and nods.
"As do I."
"Their trying to get Mathias and Gilbert together! It's insane" Alfred says, making Arthur give him the 'are you really that idiotic and stupid' look.
"That is complete rubbish."
"Huh? Why do you think that?" Alfred says looking at Arthur curiously "It makes perfect sense."
Arthur crosses his arms and looks at Alfred with his regular scowl, "No it doesn't."
"Yes it does"
"No"
"Yes"
"NO"
YES"
"NOOOOOO!"
"YEEEEESSSSS!"
"NEVER."
"FOREVER"
Arthur sighs, realizing that it was worthless to change Alfred's idea " Why do you think this exactly?"
Alfred slumps down and pokes Francis cheek " Now I feel mad for hitting him."
"He needs a good punch ever so often." Arthur says comforting.
Alfred looks up around the room "Just think about it, remember how Lukas and Gilbert hate each other?"
"Yes... so?"
"Do you also remember the time during Vash's Birthday Lukas deleted all of Lizzy's 'Yaoi' pictures of everyone?" Arthur nodded, he rather liked Lukas's idea with deleting all her pictures. It was a strange habit that a young lady like her shouldn't have, the only people who would do something crazy like that are fangirls- who were insane.
"Don't you see it!"Alfred says, childishly "It's Lizzy's revenge!"
Arthur sighs and starts writing 'I'm a frog' on Francis's cheek. "This is not good evidence and you should know that." Once Arthur finishes he looks up and gives Alfred all his attention "Answer this question for me, why Gilbert? Why would she break up a couple that she helped create?"
Alfred groans at Arthur "Your not getting this at all." he whines.
"Of course I'm not because your a complete idiot." Arthur says while groaning himself.
"Don't you think she break up any couple if it meant she could have Roderich to herself." Alfred says, trying to explain his idea to the now extremely confused Brit.
"What does Roderich have to go with anything?"
"Gilbert and Lizzy are silently fighting over Roderich." Alfred tries to explain.
"I've noticed, so?
"Come on Artie! You're supposed to be smart!" Alfred whines.
"... wanker"
"If Gilly started dating Mathias then she can have Roderich all to herself"
Arthur's eyes widen, finally getting what Alfred was talking about. "Oh bloody hell."
"And don't you remember how Mathias and Gilbert became best friends?"
"Oh shit. By being dared to kiss when they were five by Elizabetha..."
"Exactly"
"You're a bloody genius" They were bloody idiots. "Elizabetha really is trying to get those bloody idiots together." No, she wasn't. In fact she was trying to get another best friend duo together. Boy were they in for a surprise.
"Альфред вы там?"
Alfred admittedly jumps "Katyusha?"
"Да"
"Yes, I'm in here, would you mind letting us out?"
