Matthew's PoV
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Belarus screeched as soon as she saw Ivan's face. He quickly pushed me behind him before answering.
"Nothing important to you, Sister." He paused before addressing Denmark "Thank you, Comrade Denmark, for your hospitality. However I think I will take Kumajirou with me and return to my own home."
"Nope, you are here now and I already have a room ready for you and your... girlfriend?" He laughed but I ignored him, I was too busy watching Kuma slowly crawl towards me.
I could feel his pain in his chest, and it infuriated me. Swiftly I dodged past Ivan and sprinted across the room towards my injured bear cub. I could already feel the chill of my anger effect the air around me, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a knife of my own, not my favorite weapon, sure, but much easier to carry than my hockey stick, if Belarus so much as twitched towards Kuma or myself she would get the same injuries she gave him. I positioned myself between her and Kuma, and smiled cruelly at seeing her stumble back, the look of utter shock was on her face and I could sense her confusion when the room suddenly turned cold enough for her to see her breath. I knew this was not like me but I didn't care, she had pushed me past my limit.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Denmark's furniture turn white with frost.
"Maplewood." My safe word for Kuma made me pause. mostly because the voice was behind me. "Matthew, I'm OK, I just want to be held by you. it will let us both recover from our injuries and you said you trusted me." Kumajirou spoke quietly but his voice seemed strained. I stared at Belarus for a long moment, trying to get a grip on myself. Letting go of my rage, I put the knife away and turned to gently pick up my bear.
/Kuma? Are you sure you are ok?/ I waited for a response when my thought was cut short.
"Well now that that's settled, why don't I show you to your room Natalie?" I jumped, remembering that I had an audience to my slip from sanity. Looking at Ivan, I saw shock and a little bit of awe. But I didn't know what else I could see in his eyes.
"Thank you for the offer Simon, but I need to speak with my brother and his... boyfriend." She ended her sentence hesitantly, I was confused at her tone and a glance at Ivan showed that he felt the same.
"Ok then. I will get us drinks and food, and by the way, welcome to my home... " He trailed off trying to think of my name.
"Matthew, I am Matthew Williams. Also known as Canada." I introduced myself and he beamed,
"Well Mattie I hope you enjoy your stay." I smiled back. and he left the room.

(Time skip. The drinks included beer and the snacks were peanuts(just to let you know) everyone is seated in the living room with Canada and Russia on a two person chair Kuma is safely enclosed within Canada's arms, Belarus is pacing in front of them like an angry mother (Russia just told her about the punch) and Denmark is enjoying the drama that is unfolding in his house.)
"Natalia, please sit down and let them finish." Denmark chuckled opening another bottle of his beer.
After forcing everyone to sit in the living room, Belarus began peppering us with questions, starting with why I didn't answer my phone and what in the hell happened to Russia's face.
"A-hem, I am the one responsible for the bruises on your brothers face. I don't really have a reason other than that I had snapped and taken it out on him." I wasn't going to sit around and let him get yelled at for my screw up.
"I know that you stupid little country, and I am trying not to pull out my weapons and carve you up right here." She snapped back.
"Sister, enough of this. If you don't calm down then Matvey and I will leave." Ivan had been playing peacekeeper the whole time and this wasn't the first time he had used that threat. She huffed and sat down. I turned my attention back to Kumaju, he had some serious cuts but other than that he would survive
/so what happened to you while I was away?/ kumaja sent
/We ran for a while, he picked me up and taunted me about being like Al so hit him, when I went to apologize for my stupidity he kissed me./ Kumajijo chuffed in his strange form of laughter and Belarus focused on us. She seemed worried.
"Is he okay? I have painkillers if he needs them.."
"He's fine, just laughing at me." I smiled at her because I really did appreciate her concern. "What do you say Kuma?" He lookedat me hopefully,
"Do you have food?" I smiled glad he was back to his old habits.
"Denmark, may I use your kitchen?" I forgot to ask if he was hungry in my rush to see if he would survive.
"Of course, Mataboy, I'll show you the way."
"Mataboy? Really?" I mumbled, like I needed a new nickname. I still stood up carefully placing Kumatako in my spot. "I'll be right back with some pancakes just for you." I promised as I followed Denmark to his kitchen.
