"No... NO! RAIVIS WAKE UP! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Canada was screaming hysterically. His voice stormed through the whole park. His face housed all of the expressions of grief mixed up into one broken portal. His heart and stomach twisted so tight it felt like they were going to explode. His mind went blank and all of his senses died, but seemed to be brand new just towards the body he was holding. Just for Raivis. He shut out all of the others as he sat down holding the fragile boy. This was probably his second time he has seen a nation break. His mind was giving way to the insanity of desperation to make everything better. He has seen this before, but that person was never the same. He was shivering at the thought of Raivis ending up like that. He was going to stop it from happening if he had to be broken himself. "What is Raivis's favorite food?" He asked his voice either calm or desperate to act calm. Peter couldn't tell. "I have some in here. Even though he taught me how to make it I still don't know how to pronounce it." He pulled out a small bread like treat from the long forgotten picnic basket and handed it over to Matthew. As soon as it was in the others hands he backed up. "I didn't mean it Raivis I take back everything I said! PLEASE COME BACK!" Peter wailed tears streaming down his face he looked away not wanting or too scared to meet the Canadian's face. Sealand knew dang well that Canada was staring at him with a heartless expression stitched on it. Matthew took the bread thing and waved it in front of Raivis's face. His eyes opened to look at it. Latvia took the treat gingerly and started eating it at first it was shy little bites then it was ravenous gulps until it was gone. Some of the color returned to his eyes, but he was still weak. "Thank you." Was all he could mumble. "Save your energy don't talk." Matthew whispered with great care. He bent down ready to kiss the other, but remembered Sealand's presence. "Go get me some water or whatever you have in that basket to drink." Canada demanded. Sealand scurried off and while he was gone Matthew murmured sweet nothings and comforting things. He came back after a minute. Canada noticed it was water. 'Good. The best thing for him is to drink water. I remember when Prussia broke. 'I need him to remember he is loved and is special.' Canada's head was still spinning and his world was getting out of control. Peter squat by Matthew and Raivis, his eyes fixed on the small soulless body of the Latvian. "I have caused him so much harm in the past and I pushed the limits this time..." He looked even more concentrated as if he was contemplating something extremely important. Then he shook his head and met Mathews's eyes and locked his unwavering gaze for minutes both of them didn't know how long, but it could have been only a second. "Matthew I think that you deserve Raivis so much more." There was pain in his eyes and he could imagine his heart turning into cement weighing more than the veins sustaining it and finally giving in and ripping off painfully and slowly. But he continued on. "I think you should be his lover, now." His heart finally ripped off the veins, splatting on the ground and shriveling; dying. Matthew was speechless for thirteen moments. Sealand picked up Matthew's hand and squeezed it. "That and your frightfully attractive." Sealand stood up eyes going back to Latvia. "One good way to wake him up is by kissing him. When I first found him he was broken and in a few months after we became friends he was fixed." He smiled a little and not knowing where to go he turned around and went to get the picnic set up.
OoO
'I did the right thing...Right? I mean I can't cry over something like this I... am no different from Russia... I broke Raivis! Why! WHY! WHY WOULD I DO THAT!' Sealand wondered and questioned himself the whole time he was setting up the picnic. His denial would kill him. Then a thought came into his head. 'Where is Norway!'
OoO
'If no one loves me then I will remain like this forever. I will die long before I am in the grave. What's this? Is...Somebody... kissing me? I can't see to well." His eyes were blurred from everything that was in the outside world. Then he finally kissed back and clarity came, but he couldn't tell, because his eyes were closed. Then he opened them and saw the world in a new light. Matthew looked surprised. Why would he? I love him and he loves me right?
OoO
Matthew leaned down and met the other blonde's lips. At first there was no reaction, but soon Raivis kissed back lovingly. He was surprised at first. He parted the kiss to look at Latvia who seemed to be looking back to normal and healthy again. "I'm hungry..." He announced as if nothing happened.
OoO
'Why...Wait what... Maybe Sealand would know... His eyes weren't the usual color. Why is that?' Canada tried not to panic as he looked into the same eyes, but they were different other than the color change. "Lets go see what Peter is doing. Okay?" Matthew said struggling to keep his voice steady. But then Latvia's new unwavering gaze settled upon the Canadian. It sent shivers down his spine. They were almost the same color as Ivan's eyes. Then as if just then realizing what he said Latvia grabbed his left hand and got up from that sitting position and raced blindly into the park soon they were greeted by Peter laying on his side his back facing them on the blanket with the food set down. Canada's heart lurched out and he thought Sealand killed himself when he noticed his sides were going up and down slowly. He was sleeping. Matthew would ask him about it later. He walked to the other side of Peter to see that his eyes were open and they too were a different color. Sitting down he became shell-shocked. Peter's eyes looked at him for a moment before he sat up properly and although his eyes weren't really a whole different color like Raivis's it was still weird. Sealand's eyes were just darker. Sealand started eating and Raivis sat down in the middle of Peter and Matthew. He was confused really confused. "Has anyone seen Norway?" Matthew asked it suddenly coming in to his mind. "He went home...desu yo..." Peter spoke not looking up from his plate at all. "Good. About time he gets the hell out of your way." Raivis spoke out unlike Peter he glanced at everyone. His purple eyes meet Matthew and naturally Matthew looked away still not used to the Latvian's glare. He was looking less hostile as they continued to eat. The bushes behind them rustled and a small black cat came pouncing out of the bushes. It stalked over to the group meowing and purring. It came over and sat on Matthew's lap purring and making itself comfortable. Matthew was shocked and couldn't move much, because he didn't want to disturb the cat. "Oh my gosh it's so cute!" Latvia squealed and dropped his food on his plate grabbing the cat and rubbing it against his face. Both Matthew and Peter screamed in surprise, but Raivis just ignored them and continued doing what he was doing. "That cat might have flees!" "The cat may have rabies! Desu yo." Latvia finally gave them his attention, but only gave them harsh words. "You might have flees and does it look like the cat has rabies? Really? That and this is a kettah...I wonder were he came from." As he finished his sentence the cat licked his face. They just stared at him amazed at how comfortable he was with the stray cat licking him. Matthew then continued to eat not really caring anymore and Peter was still staring at the cat suspicion in his eyes. The cat flinched at the sealander's hard glare it jumped off of Raivis and walked over to Peter it hesitated for a second than sat in his lap. "The nerve of this creature! desu yo..." Sealand muttered, but he starts to stroke the small creature. He started smiling. "This cat is so soft, desu yo." Just as Peter was getting used to the cat its ears pricked up and it flew off his lap. The black fur on the cat's pelt was standing on end it was staring at Matthew its eyes filled with hatred. Then with a twitch of its whiskers it practically screamed. The sound filled the park as it shot back into the bushes yowling and hissing. Every one was suddenly hugging each other and crying in the middle of the blanket their food spilled on the ground. "I told you that the cat was bad news, desu yo..." Sealand managed to whisper his voice shaking. Matthew stared at him for a split second then noticed his phone was ringing. He grabbed his phone his hands shaking as he answered his phone. He wished he would have looked at the caller idea before answering his phone. "Hello." He whispered his voice still shaking. "Hello, da. This is Russia. Have you seen my little Latvia? He has seemed to run away from home." Russia's voice even over the phone creeped him out. "Ummm... I don't even know who that is... What time did he get out of the house?" Canada whispered confident in his lie. "We'll I don't know. But you know what time he left. Don't try to lie, da. I know you took him. I just want him back." Russia started giggling. "I don't know what you're talking about." A shiver went throughout Canada. "Your brother told me that you found a little boy today. Tee hee. I hope you do know he is just going to use you, da." Russia started giggling. "I'm not going to lie you can hide, but you can't run wherever you are you better stay there or I will find you, da. You would have been the last person I would have expected for taking him..." Then a beeping sound came up. Russia hung up. 'What do I do? Listen to him? Maybe he knows were in Sealand and is coming here now? Maybe that's why he wants me to stay? 'Matthew turned around sensing that the other blonds were staring at him. "W-what was t-that?" Latvia shakily asked. "It was... Russia... We need to go to Sealand's house now." He was surprised that his voice managed the sentence. All three of them hurriedly gathered there stuff and set off to Peter's house. "Gosh. That's a lot in one day do you want to stay at my house?" Peter asked wanting to seem polite. "Thanks. I think we will." Half way to Sealand's house they all noticed how beat up they looked. "We are boys and well we saw a playground and it brought out the kids in us. There that is an awesome excuse for the messed up clothes." Raivis sighed. "Were lucky we have a smart person like you around, Raivis or we would all be dead, desu yo." Sealand teased. Raivis grabbed Peter's hand and held it. "Yes, but we have to look like we had a blast." Latvia sighed looking in to Sealand's eyes. "I'm lucky I have an awesome friend like you or we would be dead." Raivis teased back. They walked up the driveway and stopped at the front door. Staring in horror. "Why is he here?" Canada whispered. "Oh god help me... desu yo..." Sealand whispered glancing at the sky for a second. The cat was sitting in front of the front door, glaring at the Canadian. Its eyes glowing like the star in the sky, but filled with the intensity of all of hell. It slowly rose from the ground. Its head facing the ground, but its eyes continued to stare up at Canada. Latvia ran up and picked the cat up kissing it. The cat's whole mood changed and it started purring liking Raivis's face. "I will never get you and cats, Raivis, desu yo..." Sealand sighed relieved that the cat didn't try to kill them. He walked past Latvia staying clear away from the cat. Ringing the doorbell he stared at the two of them. Finland opened the door and the first thing he did was take a picture. "YOU GUYS LOOK SO CUT-RAGEDY! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU CLOTHES ALL OF YOU!" Finland nearly made them all deaf. "All of you in here now! They walked in and Latvia was still holding the now startled cat. They obeyed and stepped into the house. Finland walked into the living room waving a hand for them to follow. They took of there shoes and soon caught up with the ultra-femine Finnish male. "Take them off." He said glaring at them. "Wait, mom. Don't make me do that in front of them, desu yo." "No. I want you guys to take them off hand me the cat, so I can wash him." He stated firmly. "Now are you going to stand there all day or hand me you filthy clothes." They couldn't argue with Tino much longer. When they were done they handed the soiled linens over to Finland who grabbed them and walked off he also had the cat with him. They stood there in the living room only in their boxers feeling more awkward then ever. "You know every awkward silence a gay baby is born." Latvia nervously laughed. "Wow." Matthew and Peter simultaneously muttered. "What! It helps!... Sometimes..." Peter ran behind the others blonds and grabbed the TV remote. He switched it to some random action movie. Latvia sat on the couch far away from Sealand and Canada sat on the ground. By the time the movie was near ending the black cat comes running into the living room. It jumped off of Matthew's face and sat on Latvia's lap. As Matthew tried to rub all of the cat hair on his face Peter was laughing. Tino came in the room smiling to himself. "Here you guys go. Now you can be totally clean. He gave out the clothes to the others. Canada and Latvia paused. "Hey, Tino these are pajamas. Where did ours clothes go?" Latvia asked questions rising in his head. "Well Peter texted me that you guys were sleeping over." He glanced at Matthew. "So I decided to go get the pajamas I bought you so you could sleep comfortable. At first I was worried that poor Matthew wouldn't have anything to sleep in, but when I was washing clothes I found out that he wears the same size as me." Tino stared at Matthew for a moment his sweet welcoming smile seemed a little to much like a flirty one. "I'm glad I found something for him." Tino stated then after one last savored glance of the blushing Matthew he strode away. Matthew was blushing even more after he left, because by then he noticed he was in nothing by his boxers and Finland might have been hitting on him. Laughter sounded from behind him. Matthew turned to see both of the younger nations fully-clothed and doubling over in laughter. "Wah-what are you guys laughing at! He was hitting on me. I feel like he's going to rape me in the middle of the night!" Matthew yelled although he was whispering. "Don't worry my mom does that on purpose he is just toying with you, desu yo." Peter giggled. "Yeah. He's just joking around. Put some clothes on man." Raivis laughed out loud and Matthew suddenly got self conscious. He threw on his clothes as fast as he could and tried to contain his blush that painted his face ear to ear with red. A random thought came back to him. "So, what are we going to do about Russia?" Matthew asked his face a sudden serious one. All three blonds went deadly silent.
