WARNING:

I DO NOT OWN HETALIA


Amelia so wasn't looking forward to this. She didn't want to do this at all. In fact, she was gonna sneak out of her bedroom window and run over to spend the night at her friend Sakura's house, but Matthew stopped her and forced her to go see Ivan. Stupid Mattie, always following the rules.

Amelia took one last look at herself in her phone camera, then hestiantly walked over to the small bench Ivan was sitting on. Both Amelia;s parents and Ivan's mother had arranged for their families to meet at the park, which was only a short walking distance away from their houses. Amelia could hear her parents trying (and failing, she assumed from their tone of voice) to make small talk with Ivan's mother, and even farther in the distance she could hear the strained conversation Matthew was having with both of Ivan's sisters. And now it was her turn, wasn't it? Might as well just get this over with.

She sat down as far away from Ivan as possible, sending him a quick glance and mumbling "Hi."

Here we go.


Ivan coldly watched Amelia sit down, mentally thanking the gods above that she sat on the other side of the bench and far away from him. That was all the indication he needed to confirm his theory that she wasn't too happy about this either.

"Hello,' He said back, trying his hardest not to roll his eyes. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't mess this up. This is to help their families get along, after all. This isn't about him.

"So... How are you?"

"I was doing fantastic, but then I had to start talking to you." Ah, so she didn't give a damn who she was doing this for or who it was gonna help

"Must you be so stubborn all the time?" Ivan asked, narrowing his eyes at her. "Can't you just accept the fact that we have to do this for our families if not ourselves?"

""Hm, give me a second to think," Amelia said, holding her chin to imitate thinking. Then she glared at Ivan and said "No. I don't want anything to do with you."

Ivan groaned, putting his head in his hands "How am I expected to marry someone like you?!"

"I've been asking myself the same question ever since I learned about this stupid deal!" Amelia groaned out, getting up. Ivan stared at her in a mix of confusion and hatred

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Home," She said, putting her hoodie on. "I did what my parents asked. I met you. Now goodbye."

"But shouldn't we at least try to get to know each other to make our parents happy-"

"I couldn't give a fuck what makes my parents happy! I am going and there is NOTHING you can do about it!" Amelia snapped, glaring at him one last time before walking off. Ivan just watched her go with a cold look, sighing to himself. Yep, there was no way in hell he was marrying this woman. Not in a million years.


Matthew was honestly really bored. He supposed Ivan's sisters were nice, but he would rater be doing anything else. While he was aimlessly looking over Natalya's shoulder, he noticed Amelia... walking away from Ivan? Wait a minute, but she just went to meet him not even 5 minutes ago. What happened?

So with an exasperated sigh, Matthew went over to see what was wrong with Amelia (despite Natalya's threats to chop his dick off if he left halfway through her story, which coincidentially had something to do with chopping someone's dick off)

"Amelia, what did you do?" Matthew asked, quickening his pace to match her speed.

"I did what I was told. I met the fucker-"

"Amelia, language-"

"-Whatever, I met him like maman and dad asked. Now I'm going home." Matthew sighed, grabbing her hand to stop her from walking

"You know by 'meet him', maman and dad meant for longer than 2 minutes. They meant get to know him, or at least try to get along!"

"And I did, Matt! He called me stubborn and he asked me why he was expected to marry me! How rude, am I right-"

"Come on, let's go hear his side of the story," Matthew said, sighing and dragging Amelia back to the bench Ivan was sitting on. Amelia immediately started protesting, trying to pull away.

"mATTIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I'm your big-"

"Little-"

'-big sister, you should be taking my word!" Matthew shrugged

"Most times you twist the story so it looks like you're the victim," He said, unamused as they stopped in front of Ivan. Ivan looked up curiously, raising an eyebrow.


Ivan faintly recognized the man in front of him as Amelia's older (or was it younger? maybe they're twins) brother, though he only really remembered because he used to see him playing with Amelia outside their house when they were younger. He was a lot younger then, though; now he looked to be even older than Amelia (but Ivan didn't think that was true if his twin theory was right).

"Um.. Hello. Can I help you?" Ivan asked uncertainly, still looking at them both confusedly. Matthew sighed, pushing Amelia in front of him as if gesturing for her to speak. When Amelia didn't, he sighed again and spoke for her.

"Hi, I'm Matthew. I'm Amelia's twin brother," He introduced, shaking the taller's hand (so Ivan was right!), "Amelia here told me that you called her stubborn without any reason or warning, but since she lies about this stuff all the time I'd like to hear your version of the story."

Ivan slowly nodded, beginning to explain. Why was Matthew acting more like a parent to her than her parents were? "So I asked her how she was doing, and she said she was doing fantastic until she had to talk to me. So I asked her why she was being so arrgoant if we were doing this for both of our families' futures, and she told me she didn't care what her parents think. Then she said that she met me like her parents had asked, and that she was going to leave."

Matthew looked over at Amelia with that same unamused expression (Ivan assumed he used it a lot on her), putting an arm on her shoulder.

"Well Amelia would like to apologize for her behaviour-"

"No I don't-!"

"-And try to actually get to know you this time. She says that she isn't gonna leave this time until she knows you at least fairly well." Amelia gawked at Matthew, her surprised expression slowly turning into a glare.

"Mattie what the hell?!"

"Well Amelia, I wasn't expecting you to have such a change of heart!" Matthew said, smiling almost forcefully and patting Amelia's back. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to Katyusha and Natalya. Natalya said something about chopping my dick off, which I'd rather not happen so I'm gonna let her finish her story," He said, taking off before Amelia could protest anymore. Amelia watched him go, sitting on the bench angrily and crossing her arms like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

"Asshole..."

Ivan giggled a little, giving Amelia a smug look "Your brother's much more mature and civil than you are. Maybe I should just ask my mom if I can marry him instead-"

"Don't you dare go near him."
