Chapter Nineteen
Matthew smiled listening to Prussia talk as they drank coffee. He was chattering on about France and Spain as well as his brother. He had missed them a bit and had been excited to see them.
The Canadian happily listened as he sipped his coffee. He was lost in his eyes and his smile. There were so many times he was mesmerized by the albino. He was completely filled with love and he wasn't hiding it at all.
"You're beautiful. " Matthew said. It took him a second to realized he'd said his thoughts out loud. He blushed and looked away as the Prussian laughed.
"Danke Birdie!" Gilbert smiled brightly. "Jou're absolutely adorable!"
"Thanks Gil. " Canada said hiding behind his coffee.
After the pair finished their coffees, they started to walk again. The streets were starting to empty as it got darker out. The blond took Prussia's hand. They started to take short cuts down alleyways. Matthew was ready to get back to their room and go to bed. He was tired.
"Hey! Que pensez-vous que vous faites sur mon territoire?" A man demanded stepping out from the shadows in front of them. The Canadian immediately stepped in front of Gilbert. The mans eyes changed to red and black. Canada's eyes changed as well. "Bien?"
"Désolé, nous ne faisons que passer. " Matthew said carefully. He didn't want to fight. "Nous ne cherchons pas à nous battre. "
"Tu ferais mieux de ne pas chasser sur mes terres!" The ghoul snarled. Gilbert glared at him, but shifted closer to Canada. "Pourquoi es-tu ici?"
"Nous sommes ici pour certaines réunions. " Blackbird said calmly. He was still prepared for a fight. "Nous serons partis dans quelques jours. "
"Bien. " The man snapped. "Je garderai un oeil sur vous deux. "
Canada nodded and pulled Gilbert away from the ghoul. He quickly led him away keeping an eye on the man.
"Vhat vas that about?" Prussia asked as soon as they were out of ear shot.
"We're in his territory. " Matthew explained. "French ghouls are very territorial. They're normally all bark and no bite. "
"Vouldn't really expect anything else from Franny. " Gilbert laughed lightly. The Canadian just sighed with a small smile. "That's enough excitement for one day. "
"I agree. " Blackbird hummed op Ning the lobby door for them.
The pair went straight to their room. Matthew flopped into the bed with a huff. He didn't bother changing and just curled up in the covers. Prussia took the time to change before crawling into the bed. By them, the blond had gotten annoyed by his suit and shuffled it off. Gilbert curled into his side as he wrapped his arms around his waist. He hummed quietly pulling him closer.
"Je t'aime. " Matthew sighed as taking in his scent.
"Ich liebe dich. " The albino said as Canada pressed kisses to the nape of his neck. "Good night, liebe. "
"Bonne nuit. " The Canadian said through a yawn.
—-❄️" Never laugh at live dragons. "❄️—-
A year later. . .
Matthew yawned sleepily humming as the sun shone on his face. It was late morning, almost lunch. Gilbert was curled into his side sound asleep. The pair had a long night together and didn't have to go anywhere that day. He was happy to have a day to relax. The Canadian looked down at Prussia and smiled gently. He carefully moved his arm and played with his hair. The albino stirred slightly, but didn't wake.
Canada was just about to fall back asleep when Gilbert shifted and stretched. He let out a yawn and groan looking up at him. "Guten Morgen, liebe. " He said nuzzling into his neck.
"Morning. " Matthew smiled kissing his forehead. "Sore?"
"Surprisingly not. " Gilbert laughed. They were quiet again. The Canadian thought he'd fallen back asleep, but he wasn't. The Prussian was just smiling staring off into space. "Birdie?"
"Yeah?" The blond asked raising an eyebrow.
"I've been thinking. " Prussia sighed looking up at him.
"That can be dangerous. " Matthew said meeting his eyes.
"True. " The albino shrugged. "But anyvays, I've been thinking. Ve've been engaged for a vhile now. Vhy don't we make official? Like the ghoul vay? It's a lot easier and private. I don't particularly vant a big ceremony or anything. Vhat do jou think?"
"That would be nice. I don't really like crowds or parties. " The Canadian said. "Are you sure about it though? It's permanent. A scar like this probably won't ever fade. "
"Of course, I'm sure!" Gilbert said rolling onto his hands and knees over him. "I love jou so much and vant to be tied to jou forever. "
"I love you too. " Matthew said reaching up and cupping his face. "When do you want to do it?"
"Now!" Prussia bounced excited. The Canadian smiled and nodded. "How does this work?"
"Well," Canada started. Gilbert sat back and he sat up. "It's just a bite. It'll hurt, obviously. "
"Jou mark me first?" The albino asked.
"If you want. " Matthew said nervously. Prussia nodded excitedly.
The Canadian leaned forward and brushed the Prussian's shirt collar out of the way. He scented the proper spot and looked up to Gilbert. He nodded giving him permission to go a head. Matthew kissed the spot before biting down. He felt Prussia tense up from the pain as his teeth broke the skin. He pulled back and pressed a light kiss to the wound. It was already healing.
"That vasn't too bad. " Gilbert said. "My turn?"
"Oui. " Canada hummed.
The Prussian shifted forward. He kissed his jaw as his fingers pulled on the collar of his shirt. Matthew smiled leaning into his touch. Gilbert traces the spot on the crook of his neck looking up at him.
"Here?" The albino asked.
Canada nodded. He was a bit nervous and hesitant to hurt the blond. Prussia leaned forward and lightly bit the spot. He put more pressure breaking the skin. He pulled back and pressed a kiss to the wound. He trailed more kisses along his neck until he found his lips.
"I've got the most awesome husband in the vorld!" Gilbert said as they broke apart. Canada blushed and smiled.
"That'll take some getting used to. " The blond said wrapping his arms around his husband's shoulders. He pulled him back down into the bed for more kisses. "Je t'aime. "
"Ich liebe dich. " Prussia hummed happily.
AN: All done! This is the last chapter of Oblivion. Next week I will start posting 'Fallen Angel' which is the third in the CGLOD series. This is the summary~
Matthew has been known as one of the most hostile and dangerous reapers. He's opened up and made friends with most of the Guardians, but his attitude towards others hadn't changed.
