Oblivion

AN: I was missing Tokyo ghoul so I started this! This is the third book in the 'Blackout' series. It would be good to read the other two, but not really required to understand this. Maybe for the ghoul ocs.

Matthew yelled in frustration pushing back against the CCG agent he was fighting. He jumped into the air and shot a blast of shards at the man, but he blocked it with his quinque. He heard a shot and didn't have time to react before the bullet struck his side. He grunted in pain feeling the blood running down his side. He didn't know where the q bullet had come from. He fell to the ground on his knees.

"Blackbird!" It took the Canadian a second to recognize the voice.

It was Shayne. He could hear his foot steps rushing towards him. Matthew didn't have enough time to get up and push the other ghoul out of the way. The dove he had been fighting rushed at him. Shayne tried to block the Dove's quinque, but couldn't. Blackbird yelled finally managing to get to his feet, but it was too late. Shayne crumpled to the ground bleeding from his neck.

"No!" Matthew yelled lunging at the Dove. The other ghouls were there fighting the Doves. More of the officers started to surround them.

The Canadian fought as hard as he could against the Doves to keep his friends safe. It didn't take the investigators long to overwhelm them. There were too many to fight off and even more coming. He heard Amity cry out in pain and saw Zyler trying to protect her. He was quickly injured and subdued by the Doves.

Blair and Ash rushed forward to help free them. Matthew and Zola weren't too far behind. Just far enough behind to see the pair be struck by a barrage of q bullets. Blackbird angrily yelled jumping at the Doves that appeared. He managed to kill two, but the others weren't focused on him. They were rushing at Zola. She didn't stand a chance.

Matthew yelped in surprise as something slammed into his side. His eyes flew open with a gasp. It took him a while to recognize his surroundings. He buried his face in the sheets trying to calm his racing heart. It was just a nightmare, but it felt real to him. The Canadian peaked out from the covers seeing the sun was just rising. He groaned rolling over looking for Gilbert. He was spooked and wanted him.

The albino wasn't in bed. He was normally up before the sun anyway. Blackbird sat up and crawled out of bed. He pulled the blanket along with him. He wrapped himself in the blanket before going to find Prussia. He followed his nose to the living room.

Gilbert looked up from his work and smiled seeing him. "Jou're up early, Birdie." Canada just grunted and went over to sit next to him. He leaned into his side with a sigh. The Prussian sat his work down and pressed a kiss into his hair. "Nightmare?"

"Yeah." Blackbird sighed taking in the albino's scent, it always calmed him.

"Vanna talk about it?" Gilbert asked and he quickly shook his head. He set his laptop down on the table. The Prussian pressed another kiss into his hair and wrapped his arms around him. Matthew hummed with a tired smile cuddling into his chest. "Sleep Liebling."

The Canadian hummed and nodded snuggling into his neck. Prussia gently rubbed circles into his back over the blanket as he slowly fell back asleep. He felt more peaceful surrounded by the Prussian's scent.

—-❄️"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."❄️—

Matthew woke a few hours later. He was sprawled out across Gilbert's lap wrapped like a burrito in the blanket. He hummed sleepily shifting slightly. The albino noticed he was awake and moved his laptop from his back. He turned over on to his back as Prussia set the laptop on the side table. He smirked and booped his nose.

"Good morning, Liebe." Gilbert smiled. "More awake now."

"Yeah." Matthew hummed freeing his arms from the blanket. "Sorry for disturbing your work."

"I don't mind." The albino smiled gently.

"Are you hungry, Gilly?" The Canadian asked through a yawn. Gilbert nodded. "Want pancakes?"

"Ja!" The Prussian bounced excitedly.

Matthew sat up unwrapping himself from the blanket. He stood up and offered Gilbert a hand. He took it and Blackbird pulled him up.

"Watt!" Kumajirou complained as soon as the pair entered the kitchen. Gilbird was perched on his head. "We're hungry!"

"I'll feed them." Gilbert said kissing his cheek. Matthew nodded and went to start the pancakes. He hummed to himself as he stirred the batter. "Here, Birdie."

The Canadian looked over and smiled taking the coffee mug from him. "Thank you." He said taking a sip. He was getting pretty hungry and knew he needed to eat soon. He still didn't take from the funeral home, he still hunted criminals.

Prussia hopped up and sat on the counter next to him as he started cooking. He watched the Canadian with a loving smile. He reached out brushing some hair behind his ear. Matthew leaned into his touch. He stepped closer forgetting the pancakes for a minute. He put a hand on either side of the counter beside the albino. Gilbert smiled reaching out to cup his jaw and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Vhat are jou doing today?" The albino asked as they broke apart.

"I need to go pick up some papers." Canada sighed. He turned his attention back to the pancakes to flip them. He grabbed a plate from the cupboard. "You could come with me?" He said sarcastically.

"I'll pass." Gilbert laughed lightly. The Canadian finished cooking and flipped the pancakes on the plate. The albino bounced excitedly as Matthew handed him the maple syrup. "Ve're getting low on coffee by the vay."

"I'll stop and get some." Blackbird said kissing his forehead. He went back to the living room and grabbed their blanket taking it upstairs with him. He quickly changed into clothes for the day.

The Canadian was wearing a pair of black jeans with a red t-shirt and a dark leather jacket. It was cold out now, but was supposed to get colder later in the day. He went back downstairs to Gilbert. He was still in the kitchen on the counter. Kumajirou was in his lap and Gilbird was in his hair. He smiled seeing them.

"Jou're off?" The Prussian asked. Matthew nodded and kissed his nose. Kumajirou scratched on his jacket lightly. He picked him up like a baby scratching his chest. The bear almost purred happily.

"I won't be too long." Blackbird said with a sigh. Gilbert nodded handing him their truck's keys. He pulled him in for a kiss before saying goodbye.

Matthew walked out to the garage with Kumajirou in his arms. He set the cub in the passenger seat before climbing into the driver's side. It wasn't a long drive to town. It took him longer to find parking. Nobody gave him a second look as he walked along with a bear cub in his arms, he was invisible.

The secretary already had the papers set a side for him. He took a few minutes to speak with her politely. After he went to the corner shop down the street. He found the coffee and picked up a few packs. He payed for them before going back to his truck and heading home.
