Just a warning in advance there is a time skip so yah. Time Skip~! So yeah chapter seven, things are starting to come together, very slowly.
I disown everything
"You can hardly see five centimeters in front of you!" Gilbert snapped, completely unafraid of whack a hurt Alfred on the head. "Sometimes I wonder about you, America."
"Why do you even call me that!" Alfred snapped, rubbing his soar head before Kiku swatted his hand away.
"It fits you that's why!" Gilbert snapped back, beaming. Over the year he had been with him, Gilbert had learned the true side of Alfred. He wasn't so quiet and soft-spoken like he had been in Europa. No he was loud and rather hard headed, youthful was the best word to describe him. He had only been calling Alfred, America since a week of being with him, and see as how he was the last member of the Americana main royal family, it fit well.
Kiku shock his head, he knew how childish Alfred could be, and the things he usually put off, losing his sight was one of them. Kiku had noticed a sharp decline, when Alfred was having some trouble noticing far away things. Now, after a rather nice hit to the head, it was in complete ruins. Kiku had some how convinced Gilbert to go and talk to members of the Austgary Kingdom.
Somehow in the whole mess of things they got Alfred some eyewear. Now he could see perfect, and Kiku was surprised to find that despite his clumsiness, Alfred didn't break them. It was just the fact they had to stay alive and get through the whole thing. The Soviet Kingdom was not all too happy with the sudden war for the Nihon Kingdom.
Kiku, Gilbert, and Alfred had taken quiet a hit; there was little hope for them just to be fighting under the name of Nihon. They needed other people to back them. The Asia East realm, mostly sat back, let Nihon do what it wanted with the two Western Generals. Other then that, they did little, sometimes men were sent, but they had only been once or twice. The Western world was just shocked, surprised such a small kingdom take on one so big.
"We need a better plan!" Gilbert grumbled, munching on his dinner, Kiku sighed, he was running out of ideas.
"We need to stop getting pounded." Alfred snapped, Gilbert eyes him.
"Whatever you say, your majesty." Gilbert teased, causing Alfred to pout like a little child. That was the other thing Gilbert did to annoy Alfred, in the end though it was all in good fun. "Oh relax will you."
"You're both are right." Kiku said suddenly, he usually over powered by them, but that didn't mean they wouldn't listen to anything they had to say. "We need someone else to back us."
"I think it's about time Alfred came out of hiding." Gilbert proposed.
"Are you stupid, that would only get us pounded more!" Alfred snapped.
"Fine then hide like a coward." Gilbert grinned, watching Alfred grumble and pout.
"We need Europa behind us." Alfred grumbled and it was the only thing both caught.
"Um…Hello! You have me." Gilbert said pointing to himself with wide outspread arms. "What more could you need."
"The whole Kingdom." Kiku said calmly. "Gilbert, you're one man, not the kingdom." That sent Gilbert grumbling, it was going to be a long night of planning.
A lot of things happened after Alfred left, a lot of things. Gilbert disappeared the same night as well, just vanished. Gilbert wasn't one to just disappear, at least not without a mission or something. It was like he saw the whole war coming. It was a rather big shock to the whole kingdom that he just upped and left.
Matthew and Francis came late the afternoon; Matthew had wanted to surprise his cousin on his birthday. Arthur remembered Matthews face when he told them Alfred was no different for Gilbert. Matthew only sighed and becoming somewhat depressed and downcast. Arthur didn't ask about anything Alfred did or said, not yet at least, he didn't know if he ever would, if he could ever bring himself to.
Only a few months later the Nihon Kingdom and Soviet Kingdom were at each others other's throats. Nihon announced an alliance with the Americana Kingdom, that more the drove everyone crazy. Since then the Nihon Kingdom was barely claiming any big victories, but they didn't give up what so ever, they always came back harder and stronger, only to fall the same way.
Shortly after that, Francis found himself ineligible to take care of Matthew, and for some reason Arthur took the boy in his care. It was not because Matthew looked like Alfred, no, they were hardly a like, both physically and personality wise. He wasn't lonely either, or thinking about Alfred to the point where he felt alone in the world. He didn't blame himself for Alfred's weird departure, no that was that twats fault.
The night Alfred left still played in his mind. Arthur would admit, to Matthew only, that he failed to stop Alfred from leaving. Matthew would usually laugh and say there was no helping it, but still Arthur felt it was his fault. He had become so confused as to what Alfred was actually telling him, that he was frozen. He should have reached out, talked to Alfred. He shouldn't have done what he did. Watch Alfred leave through the front door before falling to his knees feeling alone and empty.
Matthew might have still had a cousin, and he wouldn't be gloomy on this very date. It was a year ago that both Alfred and Gilbert left or disappeared, but things were still getting back to normal. Ludwig quickly took his brother's place, like Matthew had for Alfred, but things weren't the same.
"It's raining again." Matthew observed looking up from the history book. Peter looked up as well, and Arthur merely grumbled. It was raining when Alfred left.
"Peter's studies." Arthur reminded, and Matthew was over come by a cheery disposition.
"I know, sorry." Matthew said, turning back to better. "Where were we then?"
"How the Americana Kingdom came to be?" Peter informed, that shot down the cheery disposition. "It was some guy with the last name…Jones right." Matthew gave a small nod. "George Washington Jones!" Peter said triumphantly.
"Yes, yes." Matthew said, clearly wanted to move along. "Next question."
The two continued to study before Kalida came in the room. With a swift bow upon entering he informed them, mainly Matthew, that a letter had arrived. It was from the Nihon Kingdom, and Matthew delayed opening it, even though Peter pestered him about it.
"At least tell us who it's from." Peter insisted, swinging his feet childishly. With a sigh Matthew took out the envelop to read who it was from, even though he really didn't want to.
"Honda Kiku, Nihon Kingdom." That was all it said on the envelope.
"Honda?" Arthur asked, why did a Honda send a letter to Matthew? Matthew nodded before moving on to the next question with Peter.
"It's for a future alliance." Ivan said trying to make himself look taller then he already was, it wasn't hard. "With the Nihon Kingdom fighting my people, my people are worried; having an alliance with a strong kingdom like this would place them at ease."
The King looked skeptical, but he agreed. Ivan smiled in a childish manner, looking as harmless as sunflower. He looked at the king, his purplish eyes shining in a different manner then his face. "I have another question."
"What would that be?" The king asked.
"Where does Kirkland live?" Ivan said not once dropping his smile.
I know it's a short chapter, and the next couple ones are short as well, but you all can deal with it any way. And yes, Gilbert cals Alfred America, why, will it says, but Alfred and Gilbert seem to be two people who would but heads if there were ever working on something together. They pretty much have the same additude, so yeah. Gilbert annoys Alfred cause it's fun. Mattie's depressed T_T, oh well. And what is Ivan up too...
