Care To Spell "Trouble~?" Chapter 12

Chapter 12-Confession #1: Denmark

So…After being told I was being "Oblivious" by Arthur for the 5th time I decided to sit in my room and ponder just what I was oblivious to?! Yesterday was pretty fun…but honestly I don't understand why everyone's calling me obvious!?

"Hey Maya, dinner's going to be done soon!" Mathias said coming into my room.

"Mathias am I oblivious?" I questioned.

"To what exactly?" He asked. He looked a bit shocked by the question but gradually got over it as he sat next to me.

"I don't know? Anything…Arthur called me oblivious and even Tony did! I have no idea what I'm oblivious to!" I said. Mathias ruffled my hair and stood up. I pouted when I still didn't get the answer I was looking for but sighed nonetheless.

"I'll tell you after dinner you think too much you know" Mathias pointed out as we headed downstairs. I tried to look for anything I could've been missing but it seemed like everything was just the same. The trio joked around with one another. They messed with me…nothing seemed different? I've never known myself not to see the big picture…maybe it's because usually everyone told me what I was missing…? Hm…I don't think I've ever had to think this hard…

"Maiii~!" Alfred yelled bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Hm?" I questioned with my mouth full.

"You're all spacey!" He pointed out. "And you've got mashed potatoes on the side of your face." At this revelation I tried to lick it away but Alfred picked up a napkin and wiped the side of my face. He laughed as I blushed a bit and Gilbert and Mathias seemed to be glaring at Al? Dinner continued like usual: The boys argued over their awesomeness, I told them to calm down because I'm the only awesome one and they got in an argument with me…everything was normal? I offered to do the dishes today and once I did I headed up to take a shower. In the shower I thought long and hard…what could it be? Arthur and Tony made it obvious it had something to do with the boys but…what? I pouted as I stepped out the shower and dried off. I put on my pajamas and laid on my bed…tomorrow I get to go to the world meeting…I closed my eyes and just listened.

"Hey am I interrupting something? Or are you just lazing about" Mathias asked coming in.

"Lazing as usual…so you never answered my question!" I said sitting up.

"Well…what do you think you're oblivious to?" He questioned.

"I don't know…Arthur and Tony keep saying "You really don't see it do you?" and I want to know just what it is I'm not seeing! All I really know is it has something to do with both you and the boys!" I said angrily. Mathias chuckled slightly and leaned over to me.

"Seriously…you don't see it?" He questioned.

"Everyone needs to stop saying-mmph!?" I stopped mid-rant because Mathias pressed his lips to mine. I felt my eyes widen considerably before I pulled myself away blushing heavily. "W-What the hell!?"

"Sorry it's just…You HONESTLY don't understand why they keep calling you oblivious?" He asked.

"I keep telling you that!" I said throwing my hands up to emphasize my point.

"We like you" He sighed.

"Yeah, I like you guys too!" I said.

"No, you're missing the big picture…we like you as in more than a friend" He said getting close again. "And well uh…I like you a lot…"

"Wait…wait….all this time…you 3 have been driving each other nuts with…who likes me the most…and you want to date me…shit…" I murmured.

"What's so bad about it?" He asked.

"You 3…are best friends! I can't get between that because of some silly feelings you have for me so kill them right now!" I said. The desperation in my voice was evident and I didn't want to crush him like that but…I've always thought it was friends before girls or any relationship really in a situation like this…and this would definitely cause a problem for all of them and I didn't want that.

"But they aren't silly! The other 2 will get over it I know they will" Mathias said.

"No! Math I've never had the opportunity to turn down a guy so this is hard to explain but…I can't do this…" I said getting off my bed and moving away creating like a brick wall between us. "No…I won't do this…I mean yes I like you but not that way! I mean I do but I don't! It's really confusing you know…a-and….if you guys get into a huge fight about this I'm going to go live with Arthur!" That was the only solution to my dilemma…If worse comes to worse I will go down to said Brit's house and stay there until the entire thing bowls over.

"Okay….I-I'm sorry I even brought it up…" He laughed nervously. "It was stupid of me…really stupid…"

"N-No it wasn't….I'm the stupid one…it's just…if I wasn't oblivious to this entire thing then…I definitely could have done something about it sooner…or at least shut it down and…I can't…no..." I shook my head as I spoke. "It's just…no I mean I'm happy you said something but…I just don't…" Mathias waved his hands with a smile and ruffled my hair.

"I told you it's okay, I shouldn't have shot my mouth off!" He said. "We can go back to how things were, no problem!" I saw the slight pain and sadness in his eyes and the guilt bubbled up within me…was this what it was like to turn down a great guy? I've already felt heartbreak…but turning someone down was new…I didn't want to do it…honestly I didn't…but I couldn't have this continuing….damn why did I have to be so stupid!?

"But…" I began but Mathias gave me one more smile before leaving the room.

"It's fine!" He said before shutting the door.

"We can't go back to normal….."

Poor Denmark-Kun! D: I'm so sorry my sweet King I didn't want to hurt you like that! Denmark: ^-^ I said it was okay Amaya~! Me: No it's not TT~TT I feel so bad! But okay…maybe writing the 'World Meeting' Chapter will brighten things up a bit!
