Sesi: I went to type Sesi out and my iPod decided to change it to design... Oh yeah disclaimer: I don't own hetalia. I promise to keep this short. See you at the bottom.
Alfred woke up in his bed to the sun shining in his eyes. He had forgotten to close the window before he went to bed so there was a cool breeze making its way into his room. Autumn finally making its way into the south. Alfred shivered, shutting the window and stumbled out of his room into the shower.
Half an hour later he was startled by the pounding on the bathroom door quickly followed by some creative curse words in both English and German. Alfred had forgotten about Gilbert being here... And Arthur. How could he gave forgotten? Alfred sighed and got out of the shower wrapping himself in a towel going beck to his room as Gilbert slipped into the bathroom.
Alfred walked into his room to find a woman -or so he assumed as it had long brown hair-sitting on his bed brushing Arthur's hair with her fingers. Alfred sighed ignoring her and just went over to his closet to get dressed. He pulled a shirt out of the suitcase in the floor of it and his pants with some underwear and turned around to look at the woman.
"You don't think you can turn around or anything do you?" He sighed. She giggled and turned around. Alfred pulled his underwear and pants on under the towel for good measure.
"So wanna tell me why you are in my room?" Alfred asked going over to grab his laptop to look at some ad campaigns he could possibly work on. His friend didn't let him quit he just lessened the load. And that's also what they made conferences for.
"Oh I just wanted to greet an old friend. I was in the neighborhood and I realized that the kings mate lived here. So I decided to pop by!" She said. Alfred groaned slipping his glasses on. He didn't feel like contacts today.
He found a good campaign for a talking teddy bear. He could do that. It would be easy. It also would've been easier to just go to college but hey at least he's for his career planned for him.
The woman leaned over to smell him. Alfred jerked back "do you mind?" He asked. She laughed.
"You're so human. It's amusing. You smell fantastic by the way. I'm surprised nobody found you when you were little. Maybe you had to grow into it. Hmm odd. You have a bit of a different scent than I thought. It's changing?" She continued voicing her thoughts aloud as Alfred started panicking. She was able to read his mood by smelling him. Her mouth broke into a grin that split her face. "Oh my. You're afraid. Weird. And here you've been sleeping with a vampire. The sleeping king to boot."
Alfred stood up putting his laptop under his arm. "Excuse me ma'am but I'm going to have to ask you to leave my house. Property even." Alfred said angerly. And it's no wonder since the night world seems to be surrounding him at all times.
"Oh you are so cute with your southern accent. I have a gift for Arthur. Two actually. They are in the box over by the door. And my name is Elizaveta" she said before her image dissolved. Alfred shook his head at that last bit. He sighed and looked over at the sleeping vampire.
Arthur was peacefully asleep not having moved from when Alfred brought him upstairs this morning. Alfred absently watched him sleep then got out of his room.
Downstairs he found his brother making pancakes while he chatted in French with Gilbert. Gilbert was telling a story excitedly in French while Matthew blushed fiercely. Al crept into the kitchen when Gilbert finished the story and breathed on Matthews neck. "Give me all your money" Alfred rasped on the verge of laughing.
Matthew jumped about a foot in the air making one of the pancakes flip over. Al doubled over laughing along with Gilbert. They high fived as Matthew scolded Alfred.
Alfred and Gilbert sat at the table eating the pancakes there.
"So dude how many languages do you know?" Alfred asked.
"The awesome me knows German first. I'm originated in Germany " Gilbert said looking over at Matthew to see if he said that right.
"He is from Germany but he identifies himself as Prussian" Matthew corrected.
"Ja, and I talk French" Gilbert said excitedly. Alfred laughed with Matthew with his simple unconjugated sentence. Matthew fixed his mistake.
"Vogelchen is mein teacher in English" Gilbert informed Alfred.
"What does Vogelchen mean?" Alfred asked. Matthew blushed looking away.
"It is mein birds alias" Gilbert exclaimed excitedly. Alfred outright started laughing.
"It's not alias Gil, it's a nickname" Matthew said. "And where'd you learn that anyways?"
"It was on crime show the other day. Bones I think it was." He said casually. Alfred had stopped his laughing and pulled out the laptop. He opened an art shop and started drawing pictures of the bear from different angles trying to figure out the best way to sell the product. He could go with a typical elmoesque commercial or he could create something spectacular.
"That's cute" Matthew commented looking over Alfred's shoulder. He looked it. He was doodling Arthur without thinking about it.
"I uh..." Alfred paused" I didn't really mean to draw that" Alfred started erasing it.
"So a campaign for a talking teddy now?" Matthew asked.
"Yeah Tino wouldn't let me quit. You know how it is. Coupled with his moomins obsession" Alfred laughed. They grew up with Tino who was their neighbor for a while. Tino being seven years older got with a scary tall girlfriend and set off to conquer the world with moomins and other adorable things.
"That's true. He was fun to play tag with in the fields" Mattie added and they sat there reminiscing about past experiences of being wild children. Man they really seemed to have settled down and they were just nineteen.
"So Alfred how did you meet Arthur?" Matthew asked. Alfred started choking on his pancake at the question.
"I met him at a bar. You know the drinking age in Britain is 18 right?" Alfred said coming up with a quick story. He would have to tell Arthur about it later. He couldn't just say he found Arthur watching him sleep in his bedroom after the latter followed him to America now could he?
"Oh yeah. Same with Canada. Drinking age of course." His brother said a little disappointed at the story.
"You and Arthur are ... sont mignons tous les deux" Gilbert tried. He tried to say it in English but resorted to French.
"He meant you two are cute together" Matthew translated then he started in rapid French at the Prussian.
The language confused Alfred so he just got back to the ad campaign.
About four hours later Alfred pulled back from the computer not realizing he stared at a computer for four hours straight and had three cups of coffee. He was enraptured without realizing it.
He looked to see his pale mother being pulled into the house. That was what brought him out of his stupor.
Al shut the computer lid to go over and grab a hold of his mother. He pulled her into a large hug and carried the poor woman over to the recliner.
"Hey Alfie" she smiled. Alfred was disconcerted with the fact her voluminous hair was hidden by a scarf but then he remembered cancer patients lost a lot of hair in their treatments.
"Hey ma how was it?" He asked handing her the controller.
"It was fine. I'm exhausted though. So Mattie tells me you have a boyfriend" she smiled. Alfred loved seeing her smile it made his day brighter.
"Yeah. His name is Arthur." Alfred happily told her.
"Never thought you would find somebody. I thought you would be alone forever, searching for something." She said.
"I think I found it. I'll introduce you two soon" Alfred promised. They sat in silence watching one of his mothers Spanish soap operas. She enjoyed them but didn't understand them. They made their own translations. Obviously wrong translations as neither knew a lick of Spanish and they said such random things each picking their own character to do it for.
Alfred fell asleep on the couch after Gilbert and Matthew had joined in on the usual game, Gilbert making it interesting by translating in French, Alfred then noticed his world, life, was in the day. He could never join Arthur in the night. It would never work.
Alfred glanced at his family. Mattie had snuggled into Gilberts chest asleep, Amy had fallen asleep. Alfred sighed. And yet he couldn't stay away from Arthur. His mother was right. He always seemed to have been searching. Sure he was captain of the football team, next to top of his class, and had started a career early on, yet none of it seemed to have made him happy.
Alfred sat there thinking his conflicting feelings when suddenly that woman was next him once more.
"Hello Lord Jones" Elizaveta said watching the Spanish soap opera still on the tv.
"Is there anything you need Elizaveta?" Alfred asked cooly. "Came to abduct me like everyone else has tried?" He looked over at his sleeping family.
"Nincs. Just your friendly visitor who had decided to pop by. Also I can't do anything if I'm not really here. And my husband would be furious." She laughed and they watched the soaps.
"Do you understand what this is saying?" Alfred asked after a while.
"I do. I've lived for a couple hundred years of course I've learned Spanish." She told him. He smiled at her response.
"So it's a different race tonight. Vampire? Spirit? How about werewolf?" Alfred asked.
"Wrong on all accounts my dear. Fairy actually." She grinned. "The Mauve Queen Elizaveta Héderváry"
"You are related to Sura?" Alfred asked looking to see if her loud voice woke them up.
"She is my husbands cousin. I had her moved here when you were little. Well littler." Elizaveta dismissed.
"So you're a fairy? Just how many species are there?" Alfred asked.
"Well there's fairys, vampires, werewolves, spirits- which really is a wide category as it is a mixed race, witches and warlocks. Oh my goodness it certainly does go on." She explained.
"Succubi and incubi?" Alfred asked.
" they are quite fun in bed if that's what you want to know?" She suggested. Alfred's scowl told her that's not what he wanted. "They are a branch of the night as well. Something of a spirit I think."
Alfred sat there watching more of the Spanish soap opera while the fairy queen sat there next to him. He then remembered something she said earlier "you said earlier you had Sura move here when I was little right? How long have you known me?"
"I've known about you for a long time. Every since you and dear little Matthew were born actually" Elizaveta said leaning over towards Mattie and brushing her fingers over his head. Alfred went to move to stop her but then he saw her fingers went through his twins head. "Dear did I not tell you I'm not really here? But I should leave you are about to wake up from this nice nap" she said and then the dream dissolved.
Alfred sat up in a panic, disoriented seeing his brother shaking him.
"Al you should head upstairs to your own room if you want to continue to sleep" his mother told him. They all looked wide awake. Was it really him who was asleep? What the hell happened? He looked over at the window to see the sunset outside.
Al stood up and went into the kitchen to root through the fridge for some food. He sat on the back porch with a sandwich until the sun went down over the horizons completely.
With that Alfred got up to find Arthur.
So much quicker than previous chapters no? Yeah spring break!

I still have school things to do like credit recovery programs, extra credit at the museum, so on and so forth. I have three big tests to take for apex when I get back to school so far. So probably when break is done there won't be any updates so I shall work hard! Ok so the work I am reading is Giving In by Artificial Starlight. It's really cute and its a RusCan which is a good bonus! The story definately gets my thumbs up for how Canada seems to warm up Russia's cold heart so well. It's one to really invest time in which I s'pose is good as well.
Well with that I'm getting off. Review or else!
