A/N: Holy crap! I'm actually posting something on here! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything on here like I'm supposed to. So this is the much delayed Christmas special that I was supposed to post about forever ago. I'll also post the New Year's special right after this one.

I have a legit reason why I haven't posted anything though! One, my family likes to high jack my laptop when they're over because they absolutely have to check their Facebook 24/7. Second, as soon as I had gotten comfortable with my new classes, my laptop gets a virus and I have to wait for the GeekSquad to get it off my computer. Then I just got really lazy and caught up with school that I forgot about this entirely. Sorry about that!

Well now that is out of the way, let's get on to the story! :D

I do not own Hetalia in any shape, form, or fashion! :)

The entire house was decorated with tinsel, lights, and other small Christmas decorations. For Alfred and Matthew, Christmas was one of the best times of the year. It was also one of the happiest as well. It always brought the family closer and closer together and showed that even if they might seem pretty dysfunctional on the outside, that they were actually closer than any family that had been seen before. The smell of freshly baked cakes, pies, and cookies drifted throughout the house and teased every sense as soon as you stepped foot in the house.

Neatly wrapped presents laced with ribbons were under the tree just waiting from someone to unwrap them. It was three days before Christmas where families should be spending time with the ones they love. And was Alfred doing that with his family? Not at all. He was stuck being fit for a tux. It wasn't like it was for nothing. There was a very important party at Arthur's boss's home. They were supposed to make a very good impression on them in hopes that he would be able to get a raise or even possibly a promotion. So if Alfred ruined this, let's just say that he wouldn't see the light of day ever again.

Being fitted wasn't that bothersome but he just didn't like having to have someone measure pretty much every part of his body. All those thoughts were pushed out of his mind though when he saw how handsome he looked in it. He made some poses in front of the mirror just to 'make sure that he looked good at every angle'. He was continuing to make those poses when the fitter came to get his opinion on it. The older man gave him a strange look and Alfred could only laugh embarrassedly and scratch the back of his head. The man cleared his throat. "Is the suit to your liking?" The man's voice was like someone who both didn't want to be there and would rather be working somewhere a bit more manly.

"It's awesome, dude!" Alfred got a little bit loud and the man was caught off guard by the loud outburst. The man nodded and told Alfred to change out of it and hang it on the hanger nearby. Alfred did what he was told and left the store. He parked his car the down the street since he liked to walk down this certain part of the city. It had a small town feel to it but it had the stores and businesses of somewhere fancy. As he was walking by one of the female boutiques, it's made him ironically remember that he had yet to find his family presents yet. Fortunately for Alfred, he had nowhere that was pressing to be so he had enough time to try and find something for the three of them. It would be easy to find something for Francis and Arthur, but Matthew was an entirely different story.

Since Matthew had been with Ivan, Alfred had had no clue on how to react around the two. Mattie and Alfred were still close but Alfred found it awkward since Mattie had the tendency to start talking about Ivan when they got into a conversation. Alfred sighed and ran a hand through his blonde hair at the thought of the Russian man. He still despised Ivan and he wished that he could do anything to get them to break up. But, he wanted Matthew to be happy and if he had to suffer for it, then so be it.

Alfred went into a nearby sport's store and tried to think of something that Matthew mentioned for hockey. The season was in full swing and Alfred really never paid much attention to the sport unless Matthew was playing in it. He had mentioned something about possibly needing a new stick and Alfred could find a jersey for a team that Mattie had mentioned just a few days ago. What was the team again…? The Toronto Maple Ducks…? No, that wasn't it. Alfred searched through his brain trying to come up with what the team name was. Maple Leafs! That was it! Toronto Maple Leafs. Matthew was watching a game of theirs just the other night.

Alfred got one of the best sticks that he could find and he got the best jersey that he could afford with the money that he had and got it monogrammed to where it had his number on his actual school team and "Williams" above it. Alfred wasn't very sure if he was going to like it or not but he figured that it was always the thought that counts. Plus, Mattie freaking loved hockey so he should like it either way that it went. Alfred paid for the items and left the store and went to a different one to get something for each of his parents. He ended up getting some sewing stuff for Arthur since he always knitted to calm down when he was frustrated about something. And for Francis he got, a handmade glass rose. It wasn't very expensive but it was still a pretty legitimate present.

He had all of the presents wrapped before he left and he finally went to his car. He figured that he should go ahead and head home to put the presents under the tree and sort things out for the party tomorrow. That thought came and hit him in the head and he put the gifts in the car and went back to the tuxedo store so he could go ahead and take it home with him since he wouldn't have time to get it then. When he walked in, he saw the familiar sight of his best friend picking up his suit as well. Matthew had his back turned to him so Alfred found this to be the perfect opportunity to get at him.

Alfred played the "Mission Impossible" theme in his head as he tried to be a stealthy ninja and scare Mattie. He hid behind some of the tables that had different things on them and then behind some of the clothing racks. He finally got close enough behind Matthew. He took a dive bomb tackle and took down Matthew by the waist. "Hey! Guess what, Mattie? I done got you!" Alfred said laughing like it was the funniest thing that had ever happened on the planet.

Matthew gave Alfred a deadpan look but it didn't last long until he started laughing as well. They both just laid there on the floor laughing until they just looked at each other. It wasn't one of those really awkward stares; it was more like a challenge of who would say what they needed to have said out loud first. They continued to look and to look until Alfred just took the chance and put his lips on Matt's. It was their first real kiss and while it was not in the most romantic setting ever, Alfred couldn't help but think that it was the greatest kiss ever.

It wasn't long before Mattie started kissing back. For Alfred the kiss felt sweet and gentle from Matt. For Matthew, he could feel all of the held back emotions and he could tell what he was trying to convey. The kiss began to grow more passionate and Alfred put his hand on Matthew's cheek as a caring gesture. Matthew got his hand tangled in the back of Alfred's hair. They pulled back to catch their breaths. They continued to look at one another in a search for something deep.

"Mattie, I just wanted you to know that I love you. I've always loved you. I don't know if you feel the same for me or if you think that I'm a total freak for loving you but I do. It kills me to see you Ivan and to see how much you care for him when I want it to be me. Please, say that you love me too." Alfred had tears brimming around his eyes and he gently caressed his cheek in hopes that he would say that he felt the same way.

Matthew looked and looked inside himself to see if he really did feel the same way. He decided to show his response in the only way he could think of. He pushed his lips back on to Alfred's and began kissing again. "I. Love. You. Too. Al," he said in between kisses. Alfred was overjoyed and couldn't imagine anything more perfect and began to kiss Matthew even harder until they heard someone clear their throat above them. They pulled away and looked above them to see the old man that helped Alfred get his tux and was supposed to be helping Mattie get his.

They both looked sheepishly at the man and he just shook his head. "This is a gentleman's store, not a make out session." He said with a stern voice that still had a bit of a gentle side to it. It sounded like he understood the feelings that the two boys had for each other. Alfred got off of Matthew and helped him get up. Alfred gave a big hug to Matthew before he realized that he needed to get home to help make dinner. "I'll see you when you get home, Mattie. We have to tell Dad and Papa about this and why not when they're at their happiest." Alfred gave Mattie a quick peck on the lips and waved goodbye as he walked out the store.

Alfred felt like nothing could be any better in his life. He had the boy he loved and he had everything that he could really want in life. He had a happy spring in his step as he walked to his car. A shadowed figure was there at his car and Alfred wasn't able to make out who it was from where he was standing. He didn't want to feel like he was being paranoid for nothing so he continued his walk to his car. As he got closer he was able to make out silvery blonde hair and violet eyes. In the figures hands was a pipe that looked like it had been yanked right out of the sink. Alfred's mind was telling him to run but it was too late to run off before he got hit over the head with the pipe.
