Prequel to "Breaking"
-----------
Canada watched the way Russia's eyes lingered on America as the North American was leaving. Matthew bit his lip, and almost went after his brother to warn him, but Matthew knew that talking to people not a part of Russia's empire was not allowed and he could get severely beaten.
Gilbert sighed and pulled Canada into an empty room, hugging Matthew gently.
"He won't get your brother, Matthew. He won't…"
Canada clung to Prussia, sniffing.
"He's going to. And Arthur will cry. And it'll be horrible for everyone."
Prussia sighed and kissed Canada gently.
They stayed there for a while, hugging each other gently.
Gilbert pulled him away when the sounds in the next room started – the moans and the cries of pleasure.
Matthew wasn't all that surprised to see Alfred, the next morning, sleeping in Ivan's arms.
Russia watched him sleep almost hungrily. Ivan wanted him, and wanted him badly.
And Canada knew that Russia would get him.
