Hello everyone! – Tori
A/N: So I went to a con this weekend and I was very disappointed in the lack of Hetalia Merch, I collect the little coin figures, and they didn't have any :( Back to writing, I'm editing a few more chapters so that when I don't have time I can just update. That's the plan anyway, but I was also suffering a bit of writer's block on the story for a while, but I think I've got something good now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia (Axis, World Series or otherwise) they belong to Himaruya, which is fine, because he's awesome.
Warnings: GuyxGuy, mentions of GirlxGirl, don't like? don't read. And of course Hetalia induced Insanity, the best kind!
Breakfast Thursday: Roderich
"Orchestra is meeting tonight, so don't expect to see me at dinner." Elizabeta would be busy with her own club but it was just a courtesy to let her know. We sat down at a small two person table. Breakfast was the only time that we sat alone, lunch and dinner we were surrounded by friends, and in my case family.
"I know, and the Fujoshi club is meeting. We have three new members who are supposed to come too." She squealed and smiled and did other fan-girl actions. I let a small smile pull at my lips, she was so easily excitable it was endearing. I glanced around the hall just to make sure that Julian was eating something. "How is Julian doing?" She turned around to glance in his direction.
I made a noise in the back of my throat, "He's not the problem." Peter was sitting with a kid at the table next to Julian and his friends. A girl turned around to them. Words were exchanged and then the kid and Peter moved to their table. Peter and Julian were at opposite ends of the table. There was tension palpable from here, but they didn't start fighting so I turned back to Eliza. I sighed and she started to tell me what she thought of that group, and who was going to end up with whom. It was a hobby of hers to play matchmaker with people who were really none of her concern.
"I know that right now Peter has a crush on Paula, but I don't think that they are going to make it together, I think that Raavis is closer to Peter and once they deal with the idea that it's not wrong they'll be fine." She sighed forlornly, "I won't be around to see it."
"What about his brother, you were trying to fix him up with Michelle right?" I cut a piece of egg and ate it. I missed the cooking that I got at home, but in all honesty I would rather be here with Eliza than at home without her. That made me frown, she was crazy – I knew that. I had known that since I met her, but she was a perfect complement to me. She was crazy, I was sane. I tried to keep her from getting in over her head – which I didn't always succeed at – and she reminded me that every once in a while I could let loose.
Vash and Lily sat at a table close to us, and reminded myself not to get too crazy with my cousin so close by. "Well yeah, but… Between us I don't know. I think he's seeing someone, and I turned up a photo of Francis and Arthur." I nearly spat my tea out at her. "That's when I remembered that they dated for a while, and though Francis swings whichever way he wants, I wonder whether or not Artie's strictly gay and that's why he didn't notice Shelly."
"I'd completely forgotten about their little stint together." I got out once I was done almost choking.
"Which is weird because it was one of Francis' longer relationships…" Eliza mused when there was a commotion at my brother's table. I looked past her again glad to see it was just the twins having a dispute. Peter was laughing obnoxiously loud, a girl and the boy that had been with Peter tried to pull them apart. Julian just continued to eat breakfast, which was probably the smartest move. Grateful that it had nothing to do with him I went back to my own breakfast.
"Did you hear me Roddy?" I faced Eliza.
"No, I'm sorry I was making sure that my brother wasn't getting into any more trouble."
She made a disagreeable noise, "What I was saying was that, I actually hope that that's the case with Arthur." But it was not accompanied by any smile or giggle of delight, as boy-boy couples generally elicited from her. Instead she was frowning, in fact I'd say she was worried.
"Why, what's the alternative?" She grumbled something and pulled up a picture on her new phone.
She passed it over saying "Because otherwise he's dating Bella behind Monica's back." She had a picture of Arthur with his arm wrapped around Bella holding her school bag and pulling her closer and into a classroom. Regardless that I didn't care much for him or his brother, he had always struck me as a respectable sort. I seriously hoped that the Brit was gay.
Period 4 Thursday: Ludwig
I entered the Biology room and yawned. I had been doing a lot more yawning since the start of this school year, and I hated it. Of course I knew that these problems causing my lack of sleep weren't new by any stretch but it seemed like they had escalated. I said hello to Gupta and took my seat next to him, he nodded and continued reading his textbook. He was a quiet sort that reminded me of Kiku, though at least Kiku you could have a conversation with. You were lucky to get two words out of Gupta.
Roll call started and Natalia walked in late again. Everyone just kept on doing what they were doing while roll call continued. She had gotten transferred to our class after the first week. Rumor had it that she had replicated her brother's schedule once the semester started. Gupta raised his hand when his name was called, and Natalia made some kind of acknowledgement when her name came up. The teacher promptly turned around and started writing the notes on the white board. Which he would then explain, wipe off and do the next set. He didn't bother with questions, just kept right on through the class like that, every class.
Gupta copied the notes, and then went back to reading the textbook. I could barely focus on the words. It seemed like everything was coming down on my head, and had been since the start of the semester. Dad didn't understand why I wanted to be an engineer and not take over his business. He had relegated my career choice to 'a phase.' We hadn't been in classes for a month and Gilbert was in fear of failing chemistry, and then there was Feli. I sighed, what am I going to do about him? He was my best friend, but my father was starting to be concerned that I didn't have any girls around.
I tried to explain that I was like grandpa and was more focused on school than girls, and would probably marry late in life. But every time I brought up his father he would just get angry. And then Gilbert would say the wrong thing, or break something and get Father's full rage. Gilbert gave it right back but all the yelling didn't make a happy home. I flipped to the next page of my notebook and continued with the notes, but whatever he was explaining about mitochondria went over my head.
And then there was Feli. Gott even when I tried to think about other problems I still came back to him. He had been on my mind a lot more, he was clingier now and for some reason it was making me feel, strange. I didn't know how to deal with it. He was my best friend, and now I got red in the face every time he came near me. And if I stopped him he looked like a kicked puppy, and I couldn't stand the kicked puppy look so then I would let him cling or hug me or do that weird Italian kiss-greeting-thing and then I would turn bright red. GAH! Every time! Every time my reaction gets worse. Which means it gets worse every day. But he's my best friend.
Something pulled on my shirt. It was Gupta, I followed his dark hand up to his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and something akin to concern was in his eyes. "I'm fine" I whispered. His eyebrows dropped over his eyes and he frowned, clearly not believing me. "Or I will be, anyway" I yawned again, and went back to my notes. I watched him shrug out of the corner of my eye and go back to what he was doing.
And so on and so on. Class continued with notes, explanation, erase, notes, explanation, erase, etc. etc. My mind also went round in a circle, Feli, Dad, Feli, Gil, Feli, Dad, Feli, etc. etc. Then towards the end of class Natalia exploded causing the room to still in fear. "No you Chinese bastard, you will never have my brother, he's MINE!" She then got up and ran from the room. Something caught the light as she turned into the hall.
"Well that was unexpected." Some student remarked while we stared on. A few chuckled nervously, some others started whispering and still others just tried to ignore it altogether. The teacher turned around to witness the outburst, blinked and then went back to writing notes. This school is absolutely crazy.
Gott – God – German
A/N: Okay, so I think of Roderich as kinda stuck up, so Peter was sitting with Raavis when Paula asked them to sit with them. The twins he's referring to in this case are Emre (TNRC) and Cyrano (Cyprus) who are said to squabble often. Raavis and Paula are trying to break them up, but Roderich doesn't care to know their names, they're apparently not that important…
I tried to hint at the accents, but let me know if I failed, because if so then I'll stop. If you would like to correct spelling, grammar, language use, feel free. Any and all constructive criticism is appreciated! Also reviews are love!
Thank you for reading! -Tori
