Author's note : Hey peoples so here is chapter two of this oh so wonderful fanfiction and I'm sooo sorry I'm very late posting it but my internet got cut of then Steve (my laptop's name) flipped out and wouldn't open word where I had all my work done then mom got sick and friends raided my house and ate all my food, band teacher obsessing and making me practice every other day and projects upon projects then got grounded *sigh* it's been a tough few months. But before you start reading, I forgot to mention that the fanfic will have lots of flashbacks and scene switching that will be a bit confusing at first but I promise that it will be explained and, as a little heads up, in the future chapters, when I actually get to the meat of the story, there will be a torture scenes as foreshadowed in chapter one reason I gave it a M rating as a precaution encase a rated T reader started reading it then can't finish it because they don't like that kind of stuff. Well I don't have anything else to announce so I'll shut up and let you read.

Chapter 2: Settling Into a Not so Humble Life: Part 1

"So you're Francis new fuck buddy." Lovino said as he sat down at the table.

"Lovi~"

"What, tomato bastard I'm just stating the facts."

'But, Lovi~ he just got here, give him some time to settle in."

"Why? He's going to find out sooner or later!"

"What are you guys talking about?" Matthew said utterly confused while flipping the last few of the pancakes.

"Nothing, important at the moment. Are you finished with the pancakes yet, Birdie?" Said Gilbert all too quickly.

"Ve~, what are those? They smell wonderful."

"Eh? Really, none of you guys have ever tasted a pancake before?"

Everyone just shook their heads 'no'.

"I can't believe this. Anyways, the pancakes are finished." Matthew said with a huff as he passed around a stack of pancakes and the leftover maple syrup to everyone.

When everyone got a plate, they just stared at the stack that was put before them.

"C'mon eat it! They taste awesome, I promise!"

"Like the time you said that making pasta boiled in beer and not water would taste good. Bullshit, Potato Bastard #2. You made a mockery of pasta by making that."

"Ve~ fratello is right"

"Fine! The pasta was terrible, I admit it, now can we get back to Mattie's awesome pancakes?"

Everyone gave each other a look as if they were silently discussing whether to eat Matthew's pancakes or not, but soon everyone just looked at Ludwig for approval in the matter seeing as how he is the most level headed out of the entire group.

"I guess we could try it, seeing as though Gilbert didn't cook it." Ludwig said with a huff.

"Hey! My cooking isn't that bad!"

"Mi amigo, stop lying, your terrible when it comes to cooking anything but wrust and rice."

"Ve~ Antonio is right, Gilbert"

"Alright, alright I'm not so awesome at cooking, but Birdie here is, just try his pancakes, it has my awesome seal of approval."

"Fine, Potato Bastard #2, we'll try the fucking pancakes if it will get you to shut up!"

Everyone quieted down and looked at the pancakes before them a bit suspiciously, and took the first bite.

Gilbert and Matthew giggled at the look of awe on everyone's face as they ate the pancakes, especially Ludwig and Romano's, they simply stopped chewing and stared at the breakfast item like it was sent from god himself. While Feliciano and Antonio had the happiest daydream smile you could ever think of.

"S-so did you guys like it?" Matthew asked but he was pretty sure of the answer he just wanted to hear them say how great the pancakes were.

"Of course they liked it Birde, look at all their faces" Gilbert commented between laughs that caused Lovino and Ludwig to stir from their trance.

"Umm, yes they were quite… good…. umm?"

"Matthew"

"Umm, yes, right, Matthew" Ludwig said with a bit of a blush.

"Yeah for once I agree with Potato Bastard, and I don't agree with him often, if not at all. And look tomato bastard and my idiot brother already demolished their stack of pancakes"

"Lovi's right, these pancakes are amazing, amigo"

"Ve~, can I have more this is almost as good as pasta."

"See! I told you they were awesome!"

"Yeah, yeah Potato Bastard #2, we get it and, it's late, I'm tired and, have had enough of all your bullshit talking so, I'm going to bed. Come on, Antonio, let's go" Lovino said as he got up and left the room with a very happy Spaniard in tow.

" Why aren't you in a hurry to get to bed, Lovino?" Gilbert said in a suggestive manner.

"Fuck off, Potato Bastard #2!"

'Don't you have a Spaniard to fuck around with?" Gilbert snickered.

"Why you little fucker!" Lovino said in fuming rage but, was soon toss over a shoulder and carried off"

"Lovi, let's not start a fight, Francis wouldn't be very happy if you break Gilbert's face again."

"Fuck you, Fuck, Francis, Fuck, Potato Bastards 1 and 2… Just fuck everybody."

"I don't think you have the steam to fuck everybody, Lovino." Gilbert said between laughs.

Lovino turned bright red from rage and started thrashing in Antonio's grip. "Let me go, Tomato bastard so, I can beat the potato out of him!"

"Shhh! You're going to alert Francis, dumbass" Gilbert said pulling on Romano's curl.

"Chigi! Don't do that Potato Bastard #2" Romano exclaimed while swinging at Gilbert before being restrained even farther by Antonio.

"Come on, Lovi~ let's go to our room before you cause even more trouble. Sorry amigo, it was nice meeting you, Matthew." Antonio said heading to the stairs with a fussy Lovino over his shoulder.

"It was nice meeting you too, Antonio." Matthew said with a confused smile and wave.

"Ve~ I'm a bit tired too. Come on, Luddy let's go to bed." Feliciano said tugging on Ludwig's shirt.

"Wait Feli, I need to talk to Ludwig for a moment, you could show Matthew to his new room while were talking."

"Okay! Come on, Matthew I'll show you around the mansion and where you will be sleeping while you're here."

"Eh? I'm staying here? That's not possible I mean it was nice meeting you all, but I have to get home back to Alfred and Kumacoco!"
"I-I'm sorry, Matthew, Gilbert started. But… you're here to stay… I'm sorry"

Realization struck Matthew like a bus, so hard he started crying.

"Y-you're serious. Oh my god, why!" Matthew gripped his head, it felt like his head was about to burst from the news he was taking in.

"Ve~ come on, Matthew, let's get you cleaned up" Feliciano started to lead the distort Canadian out the kitchen.

"Thanks, Feli, don't worry about the kitchen me and Ludwig will clean up."

"Okay, Gilbert"

**Page Break**

"I can't believe I'm staying here for the rest of my life." Matthew said as he stared blankly at the water he was sitting in.
"Ve~ I'm sorry, Matthew I wish I could say that's not true, but I can't."

Matthew sighed shakily disturbing some tears on his face. "You don't have to apologize; it's not your fault I'm here."

An awkward silence fills the bathroom until Matthew gathered the courage to finally speak to break it.

"S-so how did you like the pancakes?"

"Ve! I loved them; I wish I could have had more."

Matthew chuckled. "I'm glad you liked them, I guess now that I'm staying here I could make more for you."

Feliciano nodded. "It's almost better than pasta."

"Is that so?"

Feliciano happily nodded. "Mmhmm, but don't tell my fratello I said that."

Matthew looked at Feliciano's honest eyes for a second before responding, he was trying to figure out how such a light hearted fellow hasn't been broken from being trapped in a place like this.
"Sure thing it's a promise. I think I need to get out the tub before I turn into a prune"

"Ve~ I'll go get you a towel" Feliciano walked out the bathroom and came back with a plush towel to hand to Matthew. "Here you go."

"Thank you, Feliciano" Matthew said as he got out the tub and wrapped the towel around himself.

"Ve~ just call me Feli, that's what my friends call me… we are friends, right?"

"Of course Feli, why won't we be?"

Feli smiled wide and caught Matthew in a lung crushing bear hug. "Yay~ I thought Matthew would have been mad at Feliciano because he has to stay here against his will!"

"N-no, why would I be mad at you, you weren't the one who brought me here."

"Ve~ I was worried you would have blamed me."

"I would never blame you. Umm but can we get me some clothes?"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot, Ve. Follow me!" With that the Italian ran out the bathroom only to run into something solid. "Oww, sorry, Hercules"

The man Feli ran into was medium height, dark brown hair, sea-green eyes, and looked as if he just woke up. "It's s'okay, Feli, are you done with the bathroom?" He yawned.

"Ve, Matthew and I just finished with it."

"Who?"

"Oh you haven't met him yet; this is Matthew he's saying with us from now on." Feli ran next to Matthew and hugged his left arm.

"Hello"

"Oh… hello… I'm Hercules."

"Nice to meet you."

"Feeling's mutual… can I go to the bathroom now?"

"Of course, who's stopping you?"

Hercules just nodded and walked into the bathroom slamming the door behind him.

"Is he always like that?" Matthew asked.

"Yup! He's always sleepy and gets rather mad when people disturb him." Feli said as he dragged Matthew down the hall.

"So where are you taking me again?"

"Ve~ to your new room that'll you'll be staying in, silly." Feli said with a smile.

"Oh" Matthew said a bit disconnected, thinking about what his new room for the rest of his life would be like. Pure hell. He thought.

Feli noticed the gloomy aura about him when they finally got in the room and tried to cheer him up a bit, fore he's been in his place and knows what it feels like to be ripped from his family, but at least he had Lovino, just like how Gilbert has Ludwig and Antonio, Matthew had no one, with this he said something that Matthew didn't expect him to say.
"Don't be sad, Matthew… everyone here cares for each other like family, I know we can't replace your real family, but we'll still try to make this a home for you as much as we can, I promise you."

Matthew stared at him for a minute before pulling him into a hug and softly sobbing. "Thank you Feli, that means a lot to me."

"Ve~ I glad, now let's get you into some clothes, you'll catch a cold."

Matthew nodded and started to open draws trying find something with taste to wear. "I wonder what, Gilbert and the other guy are talking about."

"Oh Luddy? There probably just talking about what you're duties are going to be at the mansion."

"Is that so?" Matthew said a bit airy.

"Mmhm everyone here has something here at the mansion to do."

"Really, well I hope I don't get something to difficult" Matthew joked.

"Don't worry it won't, the mansion is already well taken care of."

Little do they know that Matthew will have the toughest job in the mansion, that would even strike fear through a warrior's heart…

Terrible, I know. Kind of rusty with this, I think I went a bit OOC at some parts. Please review what you think, what you would like to see and how I can approve, flames completely welcome fore this was a terrible filler chapter.
