Eyes

Gilbert came to be able to tell a lot by Matthew's eyes through much trial and even more error. He deciphered the secrets the Canadian hid in his violet eyes. Even when Canada smiled and acted very polite, Prussia could now tell when he was being genuinely kind and when he wanted nothing more but rip the person he was talking to into little bits.

Even though many people thought Matthew to be a very polite and very kind person who never said no and was always out to help people, and even though that was true, only a few select people knew Matthew could be downright mean or playful when he wanted to.

Gilbert could easily tell with one look when Matthew wanted to be left alone or when he needed an extra hug. His eyes would have an icy undertone to them or they would glisten when the light hit them. It amazed Prussia how easy it was to read Canada if only people bothered themselves to do so and invest a couple of extra minutes.

Canada's eyes shone more when he was in a cheerful mood or a playful one and Prussia could tell by the lingering mischievousness in them.

There were still times when Matthew would trick Gilbert and fool him simply because the Prussian misread his eyes and they attributed it to Matthew's cleverness and to Gilbert's naiveté.

There were many times when Matthew would pretend to be upset at Gilbert and Gilbert would momentarily panic, trying to think of what he could have possibly done to upset his lover, but then he would catch the glint in Canada's eyes and he would know he had been played.

He would then proceed to chase Canada until he had him cornered and then he would tickle him mercilessly until Matthew begged to be released, and every time, Gilbert would fall for the trick and then it would be Canada who would be tickling Prussia, his eyes shining with amusement.
