Hello, this is A Hot Delicious Cup Of Tea again! I hope you didn't get too impatient while I wasn't writing this. It's only because this story is strictly computer typed only fanfiction. But that's because I started this at a friend's house. So I hope you enjoy what I pump out, even though I'm tired as hell…Sigh. Well, here we go!

Chapter Five

A Hetalia Axis Powers Fanfic

By A Hot Delicious Cup Of Tea

Couple: USUK

He doesn't know about Flying Mint Bunny! But how do I tell him? Arthur thought as he wailed in Alfred's arms, despairing about where in the world his little friend had gone off to.

"What's the matter, Arthur? Please tell me somehow!" Alfred tried to sooth the tiny country, failing epically in the process.

Arthur knew he didn't know how to speak like a 'proper gentleman' quite yet, and he didn't want to be embarrassed by his blabbering which no one would understand at all.

He just continued to cry. Maybe after a minute everything will be fine…Maybe Flying Mint Bunny will be found if I just don't stress out about it…But what about the strange man? He scares me a whole ton. Alfred's here, though…I shouldn't be worrying!

After he had those thoughts, he decides to fall asleep, surrendering to the warmth Alfred was providing to him…..

"Whew! I was afraid he wouldn't calm down," Alfred remarked as Arthur finally drifted off to sleep. "Now that you're here, things will be so much easier!"

Matthew grinned sheepishly, and sat down on the sofa next to Alfred, Gilbert in his lap, picking at an unidentifiable object on his shoe.

"He was noisy!" Gilbert complained immediately, still glaring at his shoe. "And annoying. Very, very annoying. It made me get a brainache, Mattie!"

"It happens, but I wonder why, Alfred?" Matthew replied, rubbing his hand through Gilbert's hair softly.

"I…Don't know, honestly. Do you have a clue, Allistor?" Alfred sighed, leaning back into the light red sofa.

Allistor, who had listened to the entire event quietly, stiffened at the mentioning of his name, but he relaxed after a moment, looking at the white sofa opposite of Alfred's sofa. "Well….Arthur did have at least two comfort objects, weather it was his Flying Mint Bunny, one of his brothers, or the fae. He never did go without those things until about the time he became his own country."

"That's it! He needs his stuffed bunny I bought for him earlier today!" Alfred exclaimed, standing up off the sofa in triumph.

Gilbert watched as Alfred and Arthur went up the stairs, and then he turned back to Allistor, and gave him a nasty face.

"Aye, what was that for? I didn't do anything to you!" Allistor said, looking quite annoyed.

"Gilbert, that was totally uncalled for. Why'd you do it?" Matthew asked, looking down at his chibi-fied boyfriend.

"I was bored. That's all. And…BECAUSE I'M AWESOME!" the child cheered, throwing his hands up in the air.

Matthew and Allistor groaned heavily. So that awesome complex stayed with him. They both thought as the boy grinned wildly, feeling very proud of himself.

"There you go, Arty. Your bunny that I got you today!" Alfred whispered as he put the mint green bunny into the child's arms, watching as he gave it a quick death-grip, not wanting to let it go anytime soon.

The tiny Brit had a cute grin spread across his face once the rabbit was back in his possession, his blond hair messed up from the nap the two had had before Allistor came in and interrupted it.

"You're absolutely adorable sometimes, you know that? I wish I had been your older brother, and then I wouldn't have to be in this strange situation in order to take care of you." Alfred murmured, rocking Arthur slowly as he stood there in the middle of Arthur's bedroom…

"Mattie, I'm getting hungry, and I also want some beer to drink, please." Gilbert said as he slipped out of Matthew's lap and started off to find the kitchen.

"Uh….Gil. You're too young to be drink anything but milk and juice. You're going to have to wait a good 18 years before you touch any alcohol." Matthew retorted, going after the small Prussian as he began his journey to his lovely beer, wherever that was.

"But I want some beer! And I want it now! You cannot stop me, for I am the awesome Gilbert Belish-AHH!" he was startled as he was lifted up by Matthew, who had managed to grab him when he startled off on his 'awesome' tangent. "You meanie! Mean, mean, mean! I want to be put down immediately, Mattie! I'm awesomer then you are, so you should put me down!" Gilbert whined, kicking and squirming to get out of Matthew's hold.

"I don't think so. I am WAY older then you right now, so I'm top dog here. And I say that you should go sit on the sofa quietly for five minutes, and then we can think about eating something." Matthew said as he plopped the toddler down on the sofa and joined him soon after.

"Well, you seem to have your act together, Mats." Allistor remarked, putting his chin in his hand, a smirk painting his face, green eyes sparkling.

"I'm no parenting expert, Allistor. I just get use to him because he was my boyfriend, and I already had to do things like this to begin with. He can be such a child when he wants to be. But I still love him anyway." Matthew sighed, closing his violet eyes in exhaustion.

What does Mattie mean by 'my boyfriend'? I was never his boyfriend! That's gross! Gilbert thought as he looked up at Matthew in confusion…

(To be continued…)

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I guess you can already see the signs of memory loss for them? I hope so, because I've given out some pretty obvious clues to that.

Anyway…I was thinking about what I should do next, other than getting the hell onto finding a cure for our chibi nations. Like, what kind of mischief could Gilbert and Arthur get into? Or, what other country will find out about their little problem first? Please give me your opinion, I love fresh ideas!

Okay, that's all I have for you today. So this is goodbye, I suppose.

WAIT! Before you travel onto other fanfictions, I have a little question to ask you guys. If you get it right, you'll get a free APH oneshot from me!

Question: When is the Hetalia: Axis Powers Complete set coming out?

Buh-Bye!~
