The Rare Pair Files (Hetalia)
Author: Ashynarr
Summary: Since there are a lot of rare pair that are, well, rare, I decided to dedicate a little side collection of all the ones I write from here on out, however often I end up doing so. Mostly America or Canada centric pairings.

"Is the camera working again?" Matthew asked, giving a brief glance to the small device in question before returning his attention to the screen of his laptop.
In the Skype window, Mathias grinned, nodding. "Looking great; finally got it fixed then?"
"I had Alfred look at it, and he said one of the wires had disconnected. Managed to fix it in about three minutes." The Canadian relaxed, returning the grin.
"Must be useful having a techie for a brother."
"You have Berwald, though," Matthew pointed out.
The Dane snorted in amusement. "IKEA isn't exactly the same thing, even if he's scary good at building his furniture even with all the complicated instructions."
"Fair point," The younger conceded, moving the conversation on. "How've you been lately?"
"Eh, fair enough. Last meeting with the other Nordics went about as well as expected after someone let Lukas and Tino into the alcohol." Mathias shrugged innocently.
Matthew gave him a flat look. "Can't imagine how that happened."
"Neither can I!" The Dane exclaimed cheerfully. "But it sure was fun. Much better than talking about trade for the third time this week and driving me insane."
"I thought you already were insane, though," Now it was Matthew's turn to blink innocently while his boyfriend gave him an unamused look.
"Whatever lies Gilbert and Alfred have told you should be ignored for the shameful shameful lies they are."
"So you didn't write an ode to Irunya's huge tracts of land?"
"...Gilbert started that."
"I know, Alfred put it up on youtube," Matthew smiled. "It's got about thirty thousand hits so far."
"...shit, how long do I have until Ivan finds out?" Mathias looked concerned now, prompting Matthew to offer a bit of comfort.
"Don't worry, we've made sure none of them see it, though that might not work if one of their bosses ends up forwarding it to them."
"That doesn't exactly help much, thanks."
"I try," The Canadian replied cheerfully.
"So what have you been up to then?"
"Eh, paperwork, video game showdowns between me, Al, Kiku and Yong Soo; the usual."
"And the fires?" Mathias asked, frowning slightly as his gaze flickered around his screen on the other side of the ocean, trying to see something through the pixels in front of him.
Matthew sighed. "They're not dying down, but my people are doing their best to fight it back. It should burn out eventually, these things always do."
The Dane sighed. "Just lemme know if you need me there for anything, alright? You know I can tell my boss anything and be there in less than a day if I need to."
"It's fine, I promise, I already have Alfred fussing over me all the time. I swear he gets it from Arthur."
Mathias smiled at the mental image. "Two months is a long time to wait for the next meeting - you sure I can't come by sooner?"
"I'll see when I have free time," Matthew promised after a bit, glancing over to his calendar. "Maybe in a few weeks?"
"That should work," The elder pressed two fingers to his lips before directing it to the screen. "Miss you."
The Canadian repeated the gesture with a smile. "Miss you too."
