A/N: So... I have new points of view for you all, which will hopefully make up for the shorter than normal chapter...
I'm just sort of having a serious case of writers block, and am in one of those moods where I want to have them all be murdered by a dinosaur, so just be grateful I didn't do that.
Remember, I do not own Hetalia.
The next day Gilbert stood impatiently in front of his brother's door. Eliza stood next to him, waiting with equal impatience, both of them wanting to know how the date went. Finally, after standing there for ten minutes, Ludwig and Feliciano walked out of the door together, and we're surprised to find themselves immediately being tackled by the girl.
"Tell. Me. Everything," she whispered.
Gilbert sighed and dragged Eliza off of the seventh graders, and was able to persuade her to wait until they got to breakfast to interrogate them. Eliza ended up running to the cafeteria, Gilbert sprinting next to her, with the other two jogging to catch up with the pair. After they had got breakfast and sat down, Feliciano started talking. "Ve~ I wanted to do something nice for Ludwig, so I planned a very nice picnic for both of us, and so we did that and talked and stuff, well, mostly me, but you know, and then we went and got gelato and it was so much fun! Though preparing was difficult because Kiku and Heracles came back early and they were making out, and it was really awkward-"
Ludwig put his hand over Feliciano's mouth, much to Gilbert's relief and Eliza's very very obvious disappointment. "Er, maybe ve could let zhem ask us zheir own questions?"
Eliza smiled and Gilbert couldn't help but stare at her. How could he? She was so nice and motherly to everyone, and the way her eyes sparkled... "What did you eat?" Eliza asked.
"Ve~ we ate typical picnic food! Sandwiches, and pasta, and potato chips, and all of that stuff!"
Matthew sat down next to Gilbert, and he was suddenly distracted from looking at Eliza to staring at the small Canadian, who was looking really cute in a sweater and jeans and his polar bear. "You left before I even got up! Did you forget it's Saturday? I mean, I know I tend to sleep in, but you normally sleep until noon on weekends, and me normally nine or ten," whispered Matthew, and Gilbert snapped back into reality. What the hell?! He had never, ever looked at a boy that way before! He shook himself. Probably just sleep deprivation, he hadn't been getting much rest lately...
Eliza was still firing off questions, and Gilbert refocused himself, listening to her voice. After asking questions and receiving answers for a good half hour, she seemed to finally get tired. Instead she brought up a new topic. "Guess what! It's almost Halloween! What should I dress up as! I want it to be really cool and badass, but I have no idea what to do! What are you guys doing?"
The Prussian grinned. "I'm gonna be a flipping awesome knight! Hey, maybe ve could both dress up as knights, Eliza! Zhen ve could both be badass."
"Um, I thought I could go as The Doctor, because I really love that show..." Matthew whispered.
Feliciano smiled, "Ve~ I'm maybe going to go as a kitty or something! Wouldn't that be super cute and great?!"
Gilbert grinned, "Ja, that vould be neat. And Ludwig could dress as something matching, that would be something I'd pay to see!"
"What are you doing on Halloween, Eliza?"
"Well, we have a school dance that night, but I think maybe we could go trick or treating, you know? Me and Gilbert only have a few more years before we will be too old."
"That sounds fun! We could all go together, right?" Feli sang, glancing at Ludwig as if for permission.
Ludwig nodded. "Ve don't have much time to vork on it though, so ve need to focus."
"Okay," Gilbert agreed. He glanced around at the group and he wondered about how much he knew about them. He had only just met them, and he felt like he had known them years. Oh well, it must just be his awesome social skills!
He went back to his room after a few more minutes of discussing Halloween, having a very bad headache.
Once there he laid down on his bed and thought seriously. He had been having worse and worse dreams, and he had no clue what they meant, and they were making it much harder to think, and every day he woke up feeling just a bit worse, and he hated. Memories or dreams or whatever kept pounding into his head, and he for some reason did not want to remember whatever it was. Gilbert could do it. He would keep the dreams out for as long as he could, dammit. He would.
Alfred rolled out of bed. He still was having the worst nightmares EVER and God, it was terrifying. He looked around, trying to shake off the memories. Keep on moving forward, and all that shizz. Alfred smiled when he saw his Halloween costume. He was going as Captain America! And it was so freaking neat, and Arthur had helped him make it, and it was perfect.
Thinking of Arthur...
"Artie! Artie! Artie! Wake up! It's Halloween, and I'm gonna scare your eyebrows off with my tricks!" Alfred shouted, jumping on Arthur's bed. They had both agreed to try to scare each other today.
The Briton opened his emerald eyes and suddenly he looked very sad, though that was gone in a minute and replaced by his usual irritation. "Get off me, you bloody wanker!"
"You know you don't mind~" Alfred sang teasingly and laying down next to Arthur and smiling cheerfully. He looked at the other's face in amusement as it lit up bright red.
Arthur tried to sputter in denial. That was, until Alfred (who seriously enjoyed flirting with the guy, it was so much fun messing with him!) hugged him and smiled flirtatiously. "It is so easy to make you uncomfortable, and so much fun!"
"Fine!" Arthur shouted. "The new challenge will be who can make the other blush first wins!"
Alfred shrugged. "Okay, just don't let Francis in on it."
"Oh, God, fucking no," Arthur shuddered. The French ninth grader was very good at flirting with people, though pretty respectful when people told him to back off (with the exception of Arthur, who he enjoyed messing with even more than Alfred). If they made it a straight out challenge to the guy, then they did not want to know where Francis would go with it.
Alfred smiled and stood up, stretching. "Starting after breakfast we can start. Until then, I'm putting on my costume! You should too!"
Arthur rolled out of bed and sighed. "Okay, fine, you idiot." He pulled off his white t-shirt, and dug around his dresser, his slender back facing Alfred. Honestly, if the Briton had turned around then, Alfred would have lost their contest before it even started. Arthur pulled on a clean undershirt and pulled on a white dress shirt over that, carefully buttoning it up, his tongue sticking out slightly from between his teeth in concentration. Alfred almost laughed at how serious he was. Then Arthur pulled on a black cloak and fastened a blue and bronze tie around his neck. "Why are you just standing there staring at me? Get your costume on!"
Alfred shrugged and pulled off his clothes and put on his tight red white and blue Captian America outfit. He stood up and gave a thumbs up to Arthur. "Let's go, wizard boy! I wanna see everyone else's costumes!"
He grabbed his shield and Arthur's arm, and ran down the hall, sprinting until he got to the cafeteria and finding his table, dragging Arthur into a seat next to him. "Dudes! I wanna know what your costumes are!"
"Ve~ I decided to be a kitty! Am I cute? It took me ages to make it!" Feliciano sang, everyone vigorously nodding in agreement. "And I convinced Luddy to be a puppy!"
"Vhy zhe hell did I agree to zhis?" Ludwig said, and Alfred started laughing at how uncomfortable the German looked with dog ears and a tail and paw gloves.
"I am an awesome knight vith Eliza!"
"Hononononon~ you and your friend are so cute~ I am a king, of course," announced Francis, gesturing to his crown.
Antonio smiled and announced, "I am a pirate, and my Lovi is an adorable little spy."
"God fucking dammit, I am not adorable, you fucking tomato bastard!" Lovino shouted, getting some strange looks from nearby students, though Antonio just laughed and brushed it off.
Kiku said quietly, "I am dressed as a samurai."
"I am dressed as The Doctor," Mattie whispered, though Alfred was pretty sure he was the only one who heard him.
"I am Captain America, and Artie is a Ravenclaw wizard dude!" Alfred said after everyone finished introducing their costumes. "And I can't wait to go trick or treating tonight! It will be so cool!"
Arthur said quietly next to him, "And I am looking forward to our next contest, but I know I'll beat you."
"You wish," Alfred replied. He would wipe the floor with him, in both scare and blushing.
A/N: So, Halloween!
This should be interesting *evil laughter*. I know something big will happen in maybe the next chapter, so I'm looking for to that.
And I have yet again taken inspiration from friends, as the blushing game is something two of my friends do (my friends are insane. And loud. So that drives me nuts since I'm quiet.) where they try to make the other one uncomfortable/blush, so that was taken from real life, though this will probably have a different result of the game than what happens with my friends.
Finally, please read and review! I really like knowing what people think, so please tell me! Thanks!
