The plan is set into motion, it's time to make your move.


Alfred trudged up the stairs to his home, a look of seriousness on his face. Both of his parents were home so it was time. He was finally going to tell them of Matthew's whereabouts. Of the past few hours, he was preparing himself for the yelling, the punishments for not telling them sooner. But it was part of the plan.

All too soon for Alfred, he had reached the door. Gulping down his anxiety, he unlocked the door and walked inside, shaking. Arthur glanced over at Alfred from his book, muttered a greeting, then continued on with his book. Francis was in the kitchen, fixing up some dinner.

"Hey, guys," Alfred mentally cursed at himself when his voice wavered. "There's something I need to tell you. It's really important."

The shakiness in his voice was just enough to catch their attention. Arthur set down his book and Francis walked into the living room after he added the final touches to their meal. He sat down next to his partner and waited for Alfred to speak.

Sighing, Alfred stood across from them and looked down at his shoes. "It's about Matt . . ."

"Alfred, you can tell us anything, son." Arthur spoke softly so he wouldn't sound like he's pressuring the poor boy.

"Please, continue," Francis urged him.

"Well, remember when Ludwig and Gilbert came back from their trip and they wanted to talk to me?" Alfred sucked in a deep breath and blurted out "They found Matthew on their trip by complete accident and they begged him to come back but he didn't want to because he was afraid of what would happen so when they came back they came and told me all about it and apparently Ludwig got the number of one of Matt's friends from Utah so we've been collaborating together on a plan to get him back!" He gulped in air as his Fathers took the time to let this sink in.

"What you're saying is-"

"Yes Dad, we found Matthew and he's alive and healthy." Alfred said for Francis.

"Why the bloody hell didn't you tell us sooner!" Arthur roared, his face turning red from anger. "If you would have just told us from the beginning, he would be here with us now!"

"And he would try to kill himself again!" Alfred yelled back. "The point of our plan was to get Matthew willing to come back, not be taken back by force! If I told you sooner, you would have jumped on the first plane and dragged Matthew back without even listening to my-our plan!"

"And just who is zis other boy, Alfred?" Francis demanded. "How can you just believe him so easily?"

"His name is James and he's been doing everything he could to try and get Matthew back to us. And, whether you believe it or not, he's been there for him more times than any of us have. It was his plan that he came up with, one that both of us are sure will strike something in him." Alfred stated and crossed his arms. "Now, in order to do this plan, we need your help. You need to focus fully and completely on it. So, are you in?"

Francis turned to his husband with his blue eyes, filled with unshed tears. Arthur looked back at him and nodded. "Alright, Alfred, we're in. Now, what is zis plan?"


I'm a horrible person for not updating as often as I should! Well, think of this as a Christmas present. Now that I'm back in Hetalia mojo, I might be able to post another chapter sooner, possibly in January. Hope you liked this chapter!
