Intense cold, it snowed. The sky was completely dark. Tonight is New Year's Eve. In the midst of the freezing cold. A little boy, walking in barefoot, was groping in the dark. His name is Lovino. Before leaving the house in the late afternoon, he was wearing a pair of flip flops, but on the way. He encountered a bandit, they make a joke and toying with his flip flops and then threw out to the dogs. Lovino has asked his stepfather Antonio( Antonio: Why me ? ) but he not only didn't buy new flip flops to Lovino, but he also scolded Lovino badly and forced him to sells matches tonight to earn money for his stepfather to throw money around on booze and women . ( Lovino : A-N-T-O-N-I-O)

- Huh ? Why I have to be a stepfather? I'm not so stingy that a pair of flip flops won't give - Antonio said, then put his hand into the pocket.

- What do you mean, you damn bastard? Tim ( Netherlands, headcanon name ) emphasized every single word of his sentence.

-Because you always bully me all the time- Lovino pouted

-Oh c'mon, because I do love you Lovino, it's not bullies, it just what couples do together.

-Everyone shut the fuck up - Ludwig the storyteller, angry shouting back at the audience.

So continue... As it gets darker and colder. The little boy's leg seems purple. On the street, people are hurried going home. As for Lovino, there are no sell matches and no one would stop and give him a dime . He stopped, asked the passersby :

-Hey you damn stingy mean man, buy this or you... Oh sorry Sir, could you please buy some matches for me? -All of a sudden, Lovino change his voice tone when he sees Tim glance- These matches are high qualifies, waterproof, buy three get one free, can preserve both wet and dry environment...

-Sorry, I'm also a matchmaker, I'm not going to buy these stupid brand.

-Huhhh! What did you just say? This is the best brand in Italy and you...

- Stop, cut, this is not fair, my big brother lost his images in fangirls heart. Must cut, must cut - Belgium crumble.

Lovino is very desperate. The more it's get dark at night, the heavier the snow is. Loving walked and looked at the windows of houses are shining brightly with lights .Families are gathered together. Surrounded by many delicious dishes and luxurious clothes. The Christmas tree was shimmering in front of his eyes, next to the fireplace that was giving warmth throughout the room. Loving look and wish that, if only he had such a home. But all of these mighty desires and aspirations. Since they're all gone, no one love him more than his stepfather Antonio who is addicted to gambling at home. His cold feet couldn't stand anymore, he found a small corner between the trash can and the plain wall. As the whistling wind, he scooped to the bumps and stared at the matchbox, as tearing them to pieces to revenge the merciless dad but he keep holding on, he couldn't do it, he is afraid of if he do it, Antonio will rape him ( Lovino : Da fuq Germany! - Germany :Just do like the script )

-God ! This is cold as hell! - Lovino exclaimed. Then he pulled out the match, swallowed - Oh hell no, this things are more dangerous than marijuana, just look at it and then surly i'll be plunged in the realm of fancy, but reckless... - He thought and then Lovino burn it to warm up.

Suprisesingly, forward to Lovino is Henrique (head anon name for Portugal ) who is his gone father, Lovino was surprised, he called :

-Father, father. Please take me home with you. I'm cold and scared.

Suddenly the image turns to dust and his father voiced echoed :

-You're noisy.

Loving looking at the matchstick half burn

-Father... -He cried - I'm starving

Then he burns up the second match. A bright doorway, hidden behind the curtain, was a luxurious dining table with all kinds of delicious food. A giant fish lying on a plate suddenly got up, a fork in his back, he ran toward to Lovino. Suddenly, a man came in, he brandished a sword against the fish man

-Roderich... -Lovino confused

( Roderich : Ludwig, you will have to pay for this - Gilbert : Muahhahhha )

- Uncle Gilbert, please take me with you, I'm starving - Lovino said sadly, but suddenly the image disappears again. Lovino despair, but he still looking around, still the cold and cheerless wall and the trash bin .

-Shit ! - he exclaimed . An image of a large green pine appears in his eyes . Surrounded by many presents of colorful paper - wrapped . Around Lovino are a lot of candies , toys and white candles shining , he shouted

- Vladimir ( Headcanon name for Romania ) please take me with you . I'm so depressed .

Not finished the sentence yet , the image disappeared again , this time faster than the Henrique dream and the Roderich , Gilbert dream .

This time Lovino loses all the hopes. The little boy make a reckless decision. That is he decided to burn all the remaining matches. Matches light it up, just like day. How magical! The image of his sister appear toward him

- Oh, a beautiful maiden !

Bella hold Lovino's cold hands and smile gently. All of a sudden, he recognize something. Hold on tight Bella's hand, shouted big, tears overflow on his hot warm cheek :

- Sis Bella, please take me with you. I've had suffered enough!

She didn't say anything leaves, bring Lovino on. Loving can see her big emerald eyes sparkling in the night. They fly away, further, further and never came back...

The next morning, on the first day of new year. A man find out that there is a little boy lying far full length on the thick snow. He come near the boy, mumbled something :

-Arghhhhh! Antonio! - he screamed

-Huh, how could you know my name is Antonio? - the man said sceptical.

-Father!

-God, you drunk. Who's your father? I just met you five minute ago .

Lovino look around, matches still there, but there are no Henrique, Gilbert, Vladimir, Bella, Tim or anything else. Just him and that stranger .

- How pathetic - the man said - Are you an orphan ?

Lovino dazed. This man is just look like his stepfather. Same name, same hair color, even those beautiful green eyes all look the same, but one thing make Lovino knows that he is different is this man is not cold and cruel like his stepfather. This Antonio have a beautiful smile that could light up Lovino despair soul. Loving could feel that, he just like sunlight, bright, positive and cheerful. Loving heartbeat slanted a lot.
