So... it's been forever. I've been working on two longer requests, but I really wanted to get something out during Spring Break, so I whipped this up. I was actually planning on making this one longer, but it would turn into a whole series, and I'm so not ready to take that on.
Tomorrow I'm going to an anime/sci-fi convention (All-Con, for anyone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area)! I'm super excited because a) Con! and b) my little sister will be going with me! It'll be her first Con and she's going as Flying Mint Bunny! She's only eleven, I'm so proud of her nerdiness!
Okay, I'll stop getting my excitement all over you now. Here's Arranged requested by iTorphic:
The guy I like is supposed to be in an arranged marriage but it just so happens that he likes me too. So, now we're secretly dating with the help of our friends and a secret code system and names in stuff due to his siblings being in the school too. He plans to drop off the face of the earth after highschool to everyone but me and our friends. It's a Romeo and Juliet romance and we all know how that turned out. FML
Why don't things ever turn out the way they should? Why can't I just be happy for once? These were the thoughts that ran through Matthew Williams mind as he watched the man he loved joke around with said man's betrothed. The albino said something that got him slapped, and Matthew was sure it was deserved. The man seemed unbothered by the slap, instead just laughing his unusual laugh and turning around. His eyes lit up as they landed on Matthew. He bound over to the blond, threw his arms around him and pressed a kiss to his temple.
"I didn't even see you, Mattie! Sometimes you're so invisible!"
Matthew scooted a bit away from Gilbert, causing Gilbert to frown.
"What's wrong, Birdie? Is it 'cause I said you were invisible?"
The hockey player shook his head. "Elisabeta is right there."
"So?" scoffed Gilbert. "She'd love to see us. The girl's a freak."
"Gilbert, she's your fiancée."
"Not by choice."
"I know," mumbled Matthew.
"Hey," said the albino, lifting Matthew's chin to meet his eyes. "I know this all sucks. Trust me; I'm tired of all the sneaking around, too. I'm especially tired of your brother 'helping'. I'm not tired of being called 'Prussia', though. Prussia's awesome. You should call me that in bed."
Matthew lifted his eyebrow.
"Right, I was saying something. I know it's tiring. I do, Birdie. But it will only be a few more months, then I graduate and I'll leave and I'll belong to you and you alone."
"But what about Elisabeta? You are her friend, aren't you worried about hurting her?"
"Elisa? Please! She doesn't want to be with me! We're friends and all, but there's no way she can handle all my awesome like you can and she knows it. And she's in love with my dork of a cousin, Roderich, for some reason. Plus, all we have to do is send her a few pictures of us kissing and we're all forgiven!"
Matthew rolled his eyes.
"Okay, what about your brother, hmm?"
The German's gaze shifted to the ground.
"Ludwig will be fine. He doesn't need his big bruder anymore."
"Gilbert."
The man in question looked up, his eyes softer than usual.
"We'll make it work, Mattie. We'll be like Romeo and Juliet."
Matthew frowned.
"Have you read the ending of Romeo and Juliet?"
"No. But they're like super romantic, right?"
"They die in the end. They both kill themselves."
"Oh. Not like Romeo and Juliet then. Well, we can just be like Gilbert and Matthew, huh?"
A small smile moved across Matthew's face. Gilbert took his lover's face between his hands and looked into his eyes.
"It will all be okay."
Matthew knew that was not true. How could this all turn out okay? But as he looked into Gilbert's determined eyes, he knew he could pretend it would all be okay, if just for now.
OTL This feels so rushed (because it was), but I honestly don't know if I can do any better with it. Some times that just happens, I guess.
WOO CON!
