I'm Not England
Ch. 10
Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia.
Moving into a new house is always rather hectic, and it's always a pain to move everything into the new house. However, for once in Arthur's life moving into a new house was actually not all that stressful. He had four units to help him move everything into the new house, and amazingly enough they were doing a pretty good job at unloading everything from the moving truck and getting it all into the house. Also, thanks to Alfred's super strength getting the heavier furniture out of the truck and into the house was a breeze.
To make things even better Arthur made all of the units pick their rooms beforehand so he didn't have to deal with any fights over who gets what room today. Arthur couldn't help but smile a little as he unpacked the kitchen supplies. He was rather worried about moving into the new house, but so far everything was fine.
'Let's just hope that everything stays nice and calm.' Arthur thought as he pulled a few glasses out of a box.
Arthur was about to start to clean the glasses, but he stopped moving when he heard someone call out to him. He turned to look over at the person who had called his name only to see Gilbert standing in the doorway. Standing next to Gilbert was Kumajiro, and Arthur could see that Gilbird was sitting on the bear's head. Gilbert was holding Lady's leash and the dog was waging her tail and staring at Arthur with her big brown eyes.
"She's getting pretty restless. What do you want me to do with her?" Gilbert asked.
"Go ahead and put her in the backyard. It's fenced in so she should be fine, but can you walk along the fence and make sure there aren't any holes in the fence that Lady can escape from?" Arthur said as he turned his attention back onto the glasses.
"Yeah, I can do that." Gilbert said.
"Thanks." Arthur said to the red eyed man.
Gilbert didn't reply to Arthur he just turned his attention back to the animals.
"OK, come on we are going outside." Gilbert said as he lead the dog away from the kitchen.
"Do I have to go outside too?" Kumajiro asked.
"You can stay in here with me if you like Kuma." Arthur said.
The bear decided to take Arthur's offer to stay with him because he slowly stumbled over to where Arthur was standing before he sat down and watched Arthur as he worked. As Arthur started to clean the glasses and put them in the cabinets he thought he would be left alone for a while. Alfred was bringing in the heavier furniture into the house, and while he got all of the beds inside and set up Arthur knew he still had the sofas and cabinets to bring in. Gilbert had already brought in all of his things so he had given him the job of watching over the animals. Matthew was bringing in the boxes full of things, and he was helping Alfred bring the larger pieces of future into the house. Francis was unboxing everything and putting things where they needed to go. All of the units had an assigned job, and they all knew what they needed to do.
Since everyone knew what they had to do Arthur assumed that he would more or less be left alone until everyone had finished their jobs. So when he heard someone running down the hall to the kitchen Arthur was a little surprised to see Matthew standing there in the doorway. The Canadian quickly noticed that his bear was there with Arthur.
"I thought you were with Gilbert Kumajiro." Matthew said as he stepped into the room.
The bear just gave Matthew a blank look before he asked "Who are you?"
"He's Matthew." Arthur said as he placed the glass that he was holding down on the counter.
Arthur smiled a little before he asked "Are you done unpacking already?" Matthew just shook his head no before he said "Theirs a Flying Mint Bunny truck waiting out front. They have three units to deliver." Arthur's smile was quickly replaced with a frown. "I thought I called them and told them to deliver the units tomorrow." Matthew just shrugged his shoulders as if say he didn't understand why he was here either. Arthur sighed as he quickly walked past Matthew and off to the front door.
'Well, it looks like my wish for a nice calm day will be ruined.' Arthur thought as he walked out the door.
Sure enough parked outside beside the moving van was the Flying Mint Bunny van. Leaning up against the van was the delivery man.
"Didn't I ask for you guys to deliver my units tomorrow?" Arthur asked as he approached the Mint Bunny employee.
The man just shrugged before he said "Whoever you talked to must have forgotten to send the memo to us." Arthur sighed and the man just gave Arthur a sympathetic smile.
"Sorry, I know that dealing with new units when you're moving into a new house."
"It's alright. Just bring the boxes into the house, and I'll take care of the rest." Arthur said.
The man just nodded as he proceeded to pull the three boxes out of the truck. Once the man had one of the boxes in hand Arthur lead him into the house and over to the living room. Alfred was in the living room when they got there, and when the American unit saw the delivery man he started to smile.
"Dude, are we getting the new units already?"
"Yes, we are getting new units." Arthur answered. "Can you go and get Francis, Matthew, and Gilbert for me?"
"Yeah, I'll go get them." Alfred said.
Arthur just waited in the living room while America went off to get the rest of the units. By the time America came back the delivery man had already brought the other two boxes in and he had set them down on the floor.
"Here are you manuals. The next unit will be here in a week or two." The man said.
The delivery man then proceeded to walk out the front door. Once the man was gone Arthur picked out one of the manuals to read from before he placed the other two books down on the floor next to one of the boxes.
"So what's the first unit?" Gilbert asked.
Arthur took a quick glance at the cover before he said "It's Feliciano Vargas."
Arthur opened the book and flipped to the page that would tell him how to wake the unit up. He didn't have a Ludwig or Lovino unit so he couldn't use them to wake him up. Also, the book made it sound like pulling his curl was a bad idea so Arthur wasn't going to do that either. The book suggested making pasta, but since they were still in the middle of unpacking that really wasn't a way for him to do that. Luckily, the book also said that the simple act of boiling water could wake the Italian unit up.
"Can you guys drag the boxes into the kitchen?" Arthur asked.
"Sure, but why do we need to take them into the kitchen?" Alfred asked.
"The book says I need to boil water to wake Feliciano up, and I don't know which box has Feliciano so we should bring all three boxes into the room."
Arthur then picked the other two manuals up before he walked off to the kitchen and said "Besides food seems to be a pretty popular way to wake most units up so I might as well have them all in the kitchen just in case."
Alfred picked the first box up while Matthew picked up the second box. Matthew and Alfred were able to lift their boxes with ease, but when France had some difficulty picking up the last box so Gilbert decided to help the French unit pick the box up.
"You know this box is not very heavy." Alfred said as they walked to the kitchen.
"Yeah, I was expecting the units to be pretty heavy." Matthew said.
"Speak for yourselves the unit in this box is pretty heavy." Francis said.
"It's not that heavy." Gilbert said as he helped the French man put the box down.
"It's not exactly as light as air either." Francis grumbled.
Arthur just rolled his eyes at what Francis said as he filled a put up with water. Once the pot was full of water he put it on the oven and turned on the heat. It took a while, but the second the water started to boil Arthur could hear something thumping around in the box that Alfred had carried into the kitchen. Arthur could hear what sounded like crying coming from inside the box too, but he didn't think too much about it. The manual had said that Italia unit would be a little freaked out about being stuck in the box. Arthur quickly popped the lid off the box, and the second the lid was off Arthur felt something jump into his arms and cling onto his shirt.
"Oh thank you so much for letting me out of the box it was so dark and scary in their!" The unit that was clinging onto Arthur said.
Arthur looked down at the unit that was clinging onto him only to see a surprising sight. Instead of seeing a grown up unit like Arthur had expected he ended up seeing a small child clinging to his shirt. The boy was wearing a green dress and a white apron, and he had a white handkerchief on over his hair.
"Hey, it's child Italy!" Prussia said as he smiled.
"I guess that explains why the box wasn't heavy." Alfred said as he scratched the back of his head.
Feliciano looked up at Arthur and smiled at him before he asked "Who are you?"
'Well, at least he didn't mistake me for England.' Arthur thought as he smiled back at the boy.
"My name is Arthur Kirkland" Feliciano's smile just grew a bit bigger when he heard Arthur's name, and Arthur could feel his smile growing a bit bigger too. Arthur then pointed to his other units.
"These are my other units they all live here with me."
Alfred just smiled as he gave the boy a thumbs up and said "My names Alfred and I'm the hero!"
"My name is Matthew." Matthew said quietly.
Gilbert just smiled as he asked "You recognize me and France don't you?"
Feliciano just nodded his head to show that he did indeed remember them.
The small boy then looked back over at Arthur and asked "Is Holy Rome here too?"
Arthur just shook his head no and the boy frowned a little at this, but the frown disappeared just as fast as it had appeared. Arthur looked away from the boy and over at Matthew before he asked "Didn't you say that the box you carried in wasn't heavy?"
"Yeah, I did. The box I carried in is next to Feliciano's box." Matthew said.
Arthur carefully put Feliciano down next to him before he moved over to the other box. He carefully pried the lid of the box and looked inside only to see yet another child unit. This unit was also a boy, and he had beige colored hair. He was wearing a winter like coat, and Arthur could see that he was also wearing a nice pale pink scarf. Arthur's other units looked at the small child in slight surprise, and France just chuckled and shook his head when he saw the child.
"I was not expecting to see a child Russia in the box." The French unit said.
Arthur couldn't help but also be surprised at seeing the little Russia, but he didn't bother saying this out loud. Instead he just grabbed Russia's book and started to look for a way to wake the boy up. Luckily, Russia seemed to have the most normal way to wake him up. Arthur just had to talk to the child and wake him up in the same manner as you would a sleeping person. Arthur placed the book down on the floor next to him before he grabbed the Russian units shoulder and gently shook him.
"Come on Ivan it's time to wake up." Arthur said gently.
The boy grumbled a little before he slowly opened his eyes. The child yawned a little before he got up and tried to get out of the box. He was having a little difficulty getting out of the box so Arthur just picked the boy up and placed him down on the ground next to him.
Once the boy was on the ground he smiled as he asked "Who are you?"
"I'm Arthur." Arthur said.
He then gestured to his other units and said "And these people are Alfred, Matthew, Francis, Gilbert, and Feliciano."
The grown up units all gave Ivan slightly awkward hellos, but Feliciano's greeting was rather cheerful.
Ivan just gave everyone a small shy smile before he said "My names Ivan."
"It's nice to meet you Ivan!" Feliciano happily said.
Ivan just smiled back at the other child, and Arthur couldn't help but smile too. Both of the children were absolutely adorable, and so far it looked like they got along with each other. Arthur was starting to feel hopeful that the last unit will be just as peaceful. As the children started to chatter to each other Arthur grabbed the last book and looked at the cover. The words 'Vash Zwingli' were printed and big capital letters across the page.
'I think that's Switzerland's human name.' Arthur thought as he flipped the book open.
He flipped through the pages and started to read about the different ways that he could wake Vash up. He stopped to read the page about what items Vash came with when he saw the word gun, but before he could start to worry a little the book quickly stated that Vash didn't come with any bullets so he didn't have to worry. Eventually he reached the page that told him how to wake Vash up, and luckily for Arthur Vash could be woken up in a similar manor as Ivan which was good, but Arthur noticed that Gilbert could be used to wake the unit up too. However, if the book was telling the truth it sounded like Vash would have a violent reaction to Gilbert and Arthur didn't want to deal with that.
"Gilbert don't say anything while I'm waking the last unit up." Arthur said.
"Why can't I say anything?" Gilbert asked.
Arthur wasn't even able to answer the question because the second Gilbert finished asking his question the lid to Vash's box came flying off. Two seconds later a gun was shoved into Arthur's face, and Vash had an annoyed scowl on his face. Upon seeing the gun Feliciano started crying in terror, and Arthur could feel Ivan start to cling to him. Arthur remembered that the gun didn't come with any bullets so they were safe, but the kids didn't know that. They just knew that the gun was dangerous, and they were scared. Vash had just scared the children, and upon doing this he unknowingly angered Arthur.
Arthur didn't care who Vash was or what he had the second he scared the children was the second that Arthur's hidden papa wolf tendencies kicked into overdrive. Without even thinking Arthur ripped the gun right out of Vash's hands. He quickly stood up and practically towered over Vash. A look of absolute rage was plastered onto Arthur's face and the blond man's glare was harsh and cold.
"You listen and you listen well." Arthur hissed out. "If you ever try to point a gun at me or any of my other units again I will shove you back into the box that you came in and drive you back the Flying Mint Bunny company myself. Do I make myself clear?"
Vash didn't respond he was still in shook that Arthur had yanked his weapon away from him.
"Do I make myself clear?" Arthur asked again.
Vash just nodded to this and Arthur scowled a little before he said "Good, now I'm going to take the children and help them pick out a bedroom. When I come back you better be a heck of a lot more civil."
Arthur then knelt down and picked up the still sobbing Feliciano. Arthur smiled a little as quietly whispered words of comfort to the small boy. He motioned for the Russian unit to follow him out of the room, and Ivan just nodded as he followed Arthur out of the kitchen. However, once Arthur reached the doorway Arthur turned to look at Vash.
"By the way if you ever threaten me or the kids again I'll turn your gun into scrap metal." Arthur said before he continued out of the room.
Once Arthur and the children were gone the grown units just stood there in complete and utter silence. It was only after five whole minutes had passed did one of the units finally decide to break the silence.
"I have never seen Arthur get that mad before…." Matthew whispered.
Right after Matthew said that all of the units made a mental note to themselves that they would try to avoid making Arthur that mad ever again…..
Info time!
Children units: Yes, Arthur got some kid units. However, before you ask no the kids units won't be around forever, and we will get the regular Russia and North Italy units soon enough.
The poll: So far the poll looks like this
1st place America with 61 votes
2nd place is Spain with 34 votes
And 3rd place is Germany with 25 votes
The poll will be up until Arthur gets the England unit so you guys still have time to vote for who you want the England unit to end up with.
Anyway, I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can so please review and don't flame.
