The airport wasn't buzzing with people as it usually was. To Mathew and Gilbert that was a good thing, they didn't feel like dealing with a lot of people and they definitely didn't feel like dealing with the noise that accompanied those people.

They both walked in silence out of the gate and into the plane. They got in their respective seats and sat without saying a word.

"I'm sorry…" said Mathew in a barely audible whisper with his head pressed against the window. Gilbert turned to look at him but Mathew kept his gaze down.

"What?" asked Gilbert almost as quiet.

"…I'm sorry…" he repeated a little louder "This is all my fault…"

"How is this your fault? Birdie you didn't do anything…I don't know how they found out but it wasn't your fault" he said getting louder but not enough to disturb other people. He stared at Mathew, his eyes landing on his busted lip and his black eye. "I'm the one who should be apologizing…I knew the risk of you pretending to be a girl and the consequence if they found out but…I still made you do it…"

"We're both as guilty of this…after all I did agree to help you…" Mathew smiled slightly and turned to face Gilbert. He lifted his hand and traced Mathew's busted lip with his thumb before leaning back against the seat and staring ahead taking Mathew's hand.

"We fucked up, didn't we?"

"Yes…yes we did…"

"I don't regret it though…" said Gilbert looking at Mathew again.

"How so?" asked Mathew.

"Because if I would have had taken someone else…I would have had never realized how much I love you."

Mathew smiled and turned to look at Gilbert who did the same but then grinned. Mathew giggled and suddenly the both found themselves in a fit of laughter.

"Were acting like one of those stupid dramas Alfred watches!" said Mathew laughing while holding his stomach.

"Holy shit, can you imagine if Elizabeta saw us right now!"

Some people in the plane turned to look at them with angry glares. They soon calmed down and were able to talk without laughing.

"You know what? It's fine…I'll get over it" said Gilbert getting Mathew's attention "I mean if I made it without my brother then…not having them will be fine…I got an awesome boyfriend now so what more can I ask for?"

Mathew smiled and leaned over to peck his cheek and snuggle on his shoulder until the two fell asleep on their flight home.

oooooOOOOOooooo

A few months passed and Mathew and Gilbert moved in together to Gilbert's apartment. Mathew wanted to stay in his but Gilbert insisted since he could have a view of the frozen pond where Mathew would often skate with the kids. Mathew complained but eventually gave in.

They both lived a simple life but they had an apartment to share, a pet polar bear, pancakes and each other so what more could they need?

Ring…ring…ring.

Mathew turned his attention away from the batch of pancakes he was making to answer the phone.

"Hello?" he said placing the phone in between his shoulder and his cheek to continue with his pancakes.

"Ve~ hi Mateo!" said and enthusiastic little voice on the other end of the line.

"Feli! It's been a while hasn't it? How you been?"

"Great! My cooking skills got better since last time I saw you and I got a boyfriend now. Oh and I got a pet kitty! He so cute…but his tongue hurts. Ve~ I wish I could bring him with me but I can't so you're not gonna be able to meet him…" said Feli in one go making Mathew wonder how he didn't run out of oxygen.

"Whoa, whoa Feli calm down…what do you mean by that?"

"His tongue is really rough so it hurts when-"

"No, no not that" interrupted Mathew "I meant the part about meeting him."

"Oh right! That's why I called…" said Feli suddenly backtracking "Me and my boyfriend came on vacations so I thought it would be cool to visit you and if it was ok with you for u to stay a couple days, it can be like a sleepover!"

Mathew giggled "of course! You are always welcomed here. There's an unoccupied room so you guys can use it. Oh and I moved in with my boyfriend so now I live in the apartment right in front of my old one"

There was a sudden knock on the door interrupting Mathew's conversation.

"Hang on a sec, there's someone at the door" he said turning off the stove and walking to the door. He opened it and was suddenly greeted with a small, brunet Italian with an odd curl like his trapping him in a bear hug.

"Ve~ grazie, Mateo, grazie! I knew you would say si!"

"Am I really that predictable?" Mathew asked himself.

"Kesesesese…yes, yes you are birdie" said Gilbert as he entered the scene.

"It was a rhetorical question Gil"

"Ja, ja, ja" said Gilbert with a shooing motion of his hand "Anyways who is this little fella?"

"Hello I'm Feliciano but everyone calls me Feli" he said letting go of Mathew. "Ve~ your eyes are so cool! Are they naturally like that? Or are you wearing contacts. I don't like contacts they hurt my eyes and I can never put them on. Is your hair natural too or did you dye it? Or is it a wig? Why would you wear a wig though? Unless you are an undercover cop! Or a spy, are you a spy?"

"Feli, calm…" said Mathew grabbing his shoulders.

"Oh right…calm…" he repeated imitating Mathew.

"Good" said Mathew petting his head.

"It's nice to meet you Feli. I'm the awesome Gilbert! Yes my eyes are natural and so is my hair. I'm not a cop, I'm an albino, but it would be awesome to be a spy!' said Gilbert answering all of Feli's questions.

"Anyways, Feli I thought you brought your boyfriend along" said Mathew getting Feli's attention again.

"I did Ludwig is getting here!"

"Hey my Brothers name is Ludwig…that's cool isn't it?" said Gilbert laughing. Just then a tall, muscular man with slicked back blonde hair and blue eyes walked in carrying his bags and, what Mathew assumed where, Feli's bags as well.

"Ve~ Luddy! This is Mateo. Mateo this is my boyfriend Ludwig!" the Italian said cheerfully.

"It's nice meeting you… I'm Mathew Williams" He said extending his hand. Ludwig placed the bags down and shook Mathew's hand.

"Ludwig…Ludwig Beilshcmidt." Gilbert Froze suddenly. Red eyes wide staring at the blonde in front of him.

"No way…No way!" he said still in a shock state "West?"

Ludwig's eyes widened suddenly the same way Gilbert's eyes did.

"East?"

"No way! I can't believe it! It's you! You…you…grew a lot more that I though you would…" he said suddenly frowning. "Why are you taller than me? That's not fair!"

"Wow…I haven't seen my big brother in years and this is the greeting I get?"

"No... You get this!" said Gilbert suddenly trapping the blonde in a headlock laughing as the other tried to get him off.

Mathew and Feliciano just watched in amusement as Gilbert tried tumbling over the bigger German who apparently was the little brother.

"This brotherly love is sweet and all but please stop before you break something" said Mathew in panic as the two brothers laughed oblivious at the moment to the Canadian. As he was being ignored he decided to go back to the kitchen to finish his pancakes. The bubbly Italian followed him to the kitchen to help.

After a while both Germans ended up on the floor panting and laughing. Gilbert's laughs suddenly died down, Ludwig turned his head to look at his big brother and was shocked to see that tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"Gilbert are you crying?"

"N-no…the awesome me doesn't do that thing you un-awesome people call crying" he said rubbing his eyes and whipping his tears away with the back of his hand. Ludwig turned to look at the ceiling once more and smiled. Gilbert turned to look at his brother and smiled as he turned to look at the ceiling as well. Neither of them said anything just looked at the ceiling in comfortable silence with one thing going through their minds.

I missed you brother.

oooooOOOOOooooo

The rest of that day went by in a blur. Eating Mathew's and Feli's wonderful cooking, catching up with each other, laughing and enjoying themselves. Everything was going well.

The next morning, Gilbert woke up to a familiar smell coming from the kitchen. It was that wonderful smell he almost always woke up to…only this time it smelled slightly different. Curious, he quickly got out of bed and opened the door only to see on the other side of the hall his brother doing the same.

"Mornin' west!" said Gilbert to which his brother replied with a grunt as they walked down the hallway with both their stomachs growling. When the got to the kitchen they saw their smaller partners giggling while cooking while on the table lay their breakfast. Plates filed with eggs, bacon, ham, French toast with three different types of jam. Stacks and stacks of pancakes with two bottles of maple syrup on the side a jar of fresh orange juice and a bottle of wine.

"Good morning Gil, Ludwig!" said Mathew once he saw them walk into the kitchen.

"Ve~ Good morning!" said the happy Italian.

"Ummm….birdie…don't you think this is a little too much food?" he asked looking at the almost overflowing table.

"Oh umm…" Mathew eyed the table scratching the back of his head and looked at Feli "I guess we got a little carried away…"

"But we could always eat the left overs later!" said Feli jumping up and down. The two brothers just shrugged and sat down to eat.

Once done with their breakfast, they put the left overs away and spent the day watching TV on the couch. The day kept going and eventually the all fell asleep on the couch.

The next few days were spent outside doing whatever they could think off and eventually going back home and once again falling asleep on the couch. It went on for almost a week, but eventually Ludwig and Feliciano had to go back.

"Ve~ I'm gonna miss you Mateo!" cried Feli as he crushed Mathew in a hug.

"Y-yea…'m….gonna…..miss you….as well…." He said in between short gasps of air. Feli let go with tears in his eyes and Gilbert frowned.

"What am I, a wall? Why don't I get a hug?" Feli let out a squeak as he didn't mean to offend Gilbert.

"Ah! I'm sorry Gil!" he said hugging the albino. "I'm gonna miss you too!"

Feli let go of Gilbert and turned to Ludwig ready to leave.

"Thank you, Mathew, for letting us stay…"

"Oh it was nothing…you're welcome here any time."

"…Hey, west…." Said Gilbert suddenly making him stop in his tracks. Gilbert walked forward and hugged his brother who slowly hugged back. "Take care brother…"

"Yea…you too…"

And with that, they were gone.

"Your brother is pretty cool…" said Mathew.

"Yea…" Gilbert looked at the door, then back at Mathew and grinned "well he is my little brother after all…it's only natural that some of my awesomeness would rub off on him!"

"Right…" said Mathew rolling his eyes.

"Hey I'm awesome and you know it" he said hugging the Canadian.

"Yea…I guess…" he sighed. The both stayed in comfortable silence, wrapped in each other's arms, until Gilbert broke the silence.

"Hey birdie?"

"Hmm?"

"Let's get married!"
