Chapter 12: Pancakes

Finally, Matthew moved. He switched off his camera and pulled out a bottle of maple syrup from his pocket. Hopefully the sweet goodness that was maple syrup would calm his brother down. He waved the bottle under his brother's nose and to his delight, Alfred completely focused on the bottle. Matthew put the bottle back in his pocket, causing Alfred to pout.

"Hey, Mattieu, why don't you make some pancakes? You did just wave maple syrup under Alfred's nose and it is still the morning." Francis put his hand on the Canadian's shoulder.

"O-oui, Papa. If the Beilschmidts don't mind me using their kitchen."

"Kesesesese! Go right ahead! I don't mind, even if West does! He's too busy vith Feli, though."

As if on cue, "WAAAAAAAAH! I'm so sorry, Ludwig! I didn't mean to break the lamp! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't hit me! I'm sorry!" Gilbert smirked as his point was proved. Matthew shrugged and began to cook.

Soon, the pancakes were done and those in the kitchen were eating and joking around with each other. When all the pancakes were finished, Matthew made more. There was always enough maple syrup for everyone. It all came from his jacket pockets. He was glad everyone was enjoying his food and not forgetting him.

Ludwig came from the bedroom and walked into the kitchen, Feliciano right behind. He was shocked at what he saw. Gilbert was eating these weird, fluffy, disc-shaped things and joking around with Alfred and three others. The smallest, a quiet, Canadian-sounding person, noticed him and waved for him and Feli to join them. They did and they were soon served. Ludwig took a bite and his eyes widened in amazement.

"Kesesesesesese! You look like a little bird venturing out in the woods for the first time!"

Ludwig glared at his brother before stuffing more pancakes into his mouth. He quickly finished and walked out of the room. Feliciano ate a little while longer until he saw Arthur. His eyes widened in fear and he quickly jumped up. "VE?! LUDWIG! SAVE ME!" He ran out the room, leaving the poor Brit confused.

Everyone finished up and cleaned up the kitchen. Alfred thanked Gilbert for his time and left with the others. For some reason, Gilbert felt a little sad. Now that the American had his interview done, he probably wouldn't see Alfred again.

Gilbert decided to call Elizaveta. The Hungarian was a little annoyed when she picked up the phone. "What do you want, Gilbert? I'm very busy!" She was a bit surprised when she heard Gilbert's sad tone.

"Eliza, how can you tell you're in love?"
