A/N: Third prompt is 'Canada tops'. I could be really predictable and make him be this sexy, suave mofo with Ned swooning over him like a lovestruck maiden, but where's the fun in that?
Warnings: I reread that last sentence. It does sound pretty funny. I'm rolling wit it :D. Also, Johanna being a dense dork and not knowing at first when her boyfriend is trying to get in her pants. It's the Germanic genes :P.
It was just another typical workday. She was sitting behind her desk, minding her own business, making lots of money, doodling funny faces of her loved ones. At 10.45 precisely she wanted to go outside for a quick smoke and a cup of coffee and send Matthew a sweet text he could read when he woke up like always, when someone opened the door to her office and let themselves in. Johanna looked up from her paperwork, noticing Matthew in the doorway.
"Mornin', beautiful," she heard him say as he walked over to her and leaned over her desk. Something in his tone seemed different somehow. He looked a little different from usual too, she noticed as he reached out a hand and caressed her face before lifting her chin a bit so he could get a better look at her. He wasn't wearing his glasses, for one. His shirt wasn't completely buttoned up, showing his pecks. And what was the deal with those low riding jeans, goddamn. Any lower and he might as well not wear them at all! She swallowed a bit as she tried to get those thoughts out of her head. She had a strict 'no naughty fun times before lunch' policy. At work anyway.
"I, uh, good morning, Matt. I wasn't expecting you, to be honest. Is there a reason you're here?" She asked after the initial surprise of seeing him wore off.
"Do I need a reason to visit my lovely, hardworking girlfriend and take her out for a well-deserved break?" He replied, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"At the risk of sounding like a killjoy, yeah, you kind of do. You seriously flew all the way from your place to mine just to go on my break with me? I mean, not that I mind at all, I love seeing you and mmph!"
Matthew let out a little laugh during her monologue before closing the gap between them and kissing her, cutting the rest of her sentence off. He smiled at her flushed face after breaking the kiss, rubbing his thumb over her lower lip.
"I happened to be at Arthurs place for business, and decided to surprise you with a visit after everything was said and done. And even if I hadn't been so close by…" He moved his way over to her chair, and carefully moved himself so that he was straddling her without crushing her legs, before holding her face in his hands again. "…I'd gladly travel to the ends of the world and back again, just to see your lovely smile."
"Matt, I...I'm…" She could just feel her face getting redder by the second. What the hell was going on here? Matthew was never this smooth! Well, not unless he had downed at least three bottles of wine, anyway. But he didn't taste or smell like alcohol. Wait, didn't he say he came from Arthur? Oh, dammit all, that had to be it. Arthur screwed up again, didn't he? She should probably tell him and get him somewhere until she could get a hold of Arthur so he can fix this mess. If only Matthew would stop kissing her down her throat and feeling her up under her top. Wait a minute, how and when did he get her out of her blazer?! How long has she been internally monologing?!
"Matt, wait a sec, I need to tell you something and ohmygooooddd!" He had gently bitten the side of her neck, and was working his way up to her earlobe. Sneaky bastard.
"What is it, my love?" He whispered, in between another bite and a kiss. "Do you not like it? If that's the case, all you have to do is say the word and I'll stop."
"I'm… I-I…" Did she want him to stop? "Uhm…" She wasn't sure. Well, to be honest, she absolutely loved the way he was taking charge. It was nice to just follow the lead for once. But he's under influence right now, it wouldn't really be fair to take advantage of this and… Oh, for fucks sake, how is she expected to think straight when he's working that mouth of his on her like that and this chilly breeze dancing on her legs? Wait, what? He got her out of her pants already?! She really needs to stop internally monologing that long. Or at least keep paying some attention at her surroundings during it.
"Joey." He whispered again in her ear, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I can tell you're not really here with your mind right now. Any suggestions on what I can do to change that?" He was caressing her face again, and his other hand was resting on her hip. He was looking her directly in the eyes with a mixture of both desire, love and a little bit of mischief, and Joey found it impossible to look away. She reached out her own hand and pulled him in for a kiss of her own, finally giving him an answer after breaking the kiss when she felt him smiling against her lips.
"I don't want you to stop, Matt. I was having a little debate on how to properly respond to that slightly uncharacteristic behavior of yours, but I'm done with that now. Just let me send my secretary home for the day, and then you can carry on where you left off." She wanted to do just that, but Matthew kept her firmly in her place.
"Matt?"
"No need for that anymore, love. I already told her she could leave for the day before I walked in here."
"Oh?" Part of her wanted to be mad at him for just assuming she would just play along and send her home anyway, but a much bigger part was actually really glad he thought that far ahead.
"Yup. No one will be bothering us for the rest of the day," he said with a smirk, leaning in to kiss her again.
It was a good thing her secretary was indeed gone and they were alone in the building, otherwise Laura would have her ass for smoking inside. But she couldn't help it, she needed her after-sex smoke.
"You really should stop smoking, love." Matthew said, grabbing the cigarette from her hand and taking a drag of it himself. Joey just glared at him before rolling her eyes and snuggled up against him.
"I'll stop smoking when you stop eating maple syrup."
"Hell no." He replied, putting an arm around her.
"Exactly. And you seem to be getting back to your usual self again. What kind of spell was Arthur practicing anyway?"
"He wasn't practicing anything."
"Huh?" Johanna removed herself from Matt's embrace, giving him a confused look. "But you were so… so…"
"Suave as fuck instead of my usual easygoing self?" He finished, laughing.
"Well, yeah," she replied, still giving him a questioning look. "You weren't acting like your usual self, and you said you came from Arthur, so I assumed he messed up his magic again and enhanced your French side or something. That's why I was so out of it at first. I felt like I would be taking advantage of you somehow."
"That's very considerate of you, love, haha. And you aren't completely off with your guess of my French side being enhanced."
"So, what happened then?"
"I finished my business with Arthur, and was on my way to the airport, where I saw Francis. We had a little talk, a little drink and the next thing I know it was the next day. We went back to Arthur, I showered, changed my clothes and made my way over here. And you know the rest."
"You go out drinking with Francis and you become this suave mofo?"
"Pretty much. The longer I hang out with just him, the stronger my French side becomes."
"Really now. Huh. Well, in that case, you should definitely hang out with your Papa more often."
"You like that, huh?"
"I like that a lot."
A/N: Plottwist, there was no magic, haha. Except for the magic that is Francis and his French suaveness.
And in case you're wondering, it also works the same with Arthur. Matthew becomes a much nicer version of Arthur, a perfect gentleman with proper etiquette and everything. Alfred isn't like that, he's way too independent to be influenced anymore by those two.
Whenever the Germanics get together they become this superefficient machine and shit gets done in like five minutes. They would like to handle meetings this way too, but the others still don't trust the Germanics enough to leave them in charge of everything.
My headcanon is that fem!Ned still tops most of the time, because she's a controlfreak and loves to be in charge, even when Canada is involved. She's slowly getting better though and actually really loves it when Matt takes charge.
Hope you had fun reading, and reviews are always appreciated!
