Hey guys! Kitty29 here with a new chapter of Colours!
For once I, uh, have nothing to say. Ehhh... this is a good chapter?

Kay, enjoy!

Alfred looked at his reflection and frowned at what he saw. It wasn't because he thought he was unattractive, oh no far from it. Hell, he was probably one of the best catches in school! But that wasn't the issue, the issue was that he just looked so...ordinary compared to his dreams.

When he had first started having those dreams about two months ago he was lucky if he had one a week, but for the past few days he's been having them every time he rested his eyes for a few minutes. They weren't bad dreams, in fact the were amazing dreams. Awesome dreams. Dreams where anything good that could happen, happened.

Unfortunately the problem with having dreams like that was when he awoke he was forced to come back face to face with reality, which was quickly making the dreams not worth having. Seriously, it was almost like they were mocking him now. Constantly tricking him by dangling food in front of his face then tugging it away right when he was about to grab it.

A timid knock on his door brought him from his thoughts. Quickly, he jumped away from his mirror and onto his bed. He rather people not know now much time he spent eyeing himself thank you very much.

"Come in!" He called and the door opened to reveal his twin, who smiled when they met eyes.

"Hi, Al," Matthew greeted, wasting no time in walking up to the bed and taking a seat beside his brother.

"Hey, Mattie," Alfred greeted back shifting so that Matthew could have enough room to get comfortable. "So whats up? Thought you were lurking some forums or something."

Matthew shrugged. "Just checking to see if anyone replied to my post."

Alfred, curious if anyone replied back and said that they also shared Matthew ability, asked for the outcome.

"A few people replied back, but none with my ability." Matthew said with a sigh. "But that's not why I'm here. You know what happens on Fridays, right?"

Alfred made a face. Friday...Friday...Friday? Fri. Day.

Friday!

Frrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiday.

"...The day we try and convince the chief to let us do take out?" Alfred asked unsure, smiling sheepishly at the other. Matthew laughed.

"No, well, yeah, but no." He looked down at his fumbling hands at this point and Alfred grew more curious at his sudden nervous state. "It's...It's the day that the club meets up...you know..."

Alfred blinked. "Wait, do you mean the abilities club that you stopped going to like, a month ago?"

Matthew slowly nodded, still not meeting the blonds eyes. "Yeah, that one...I...I'm thinking of going back..."

At this Alfred grew excited and he reached forward and gripped onto his brothers nervous hands. "Really? You're going back? Can I come? Please?"

Matthew couldn't help but smile at his brothers excited state. "Y-Yeah. I came to ask if you wanted to come, actually."

A large grin appeared on Alfred's face before he began to bounce happily in place. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! HELLZ YES! Can we leave now? How many people do you think will be there? Should I bring my camera? Should I take notes? On a scale of one to ten how awesome are the other peopl—"

Matthew eased a hand out of his brothers grip and slapped it over Alfred's mouth. "Alfred! Enough!" He scolded with a laugh. "It's really not as fanatical as it sounds. It's just...It's just like a after school meeting kind of thing. Don't treat it like some kind of freak show, okay?" He made sure that Alfred nodded in understanding before he removed his hand.

"So...no camera?" Alfred simplified with a shrug and Matthew shook his head.

"No camera." Although Matthew was certainly scared of facing those people again on his own, he was sure that with his brother and his stupid antics on his side, he would manage. "Now c'mon, let's go. We're already late."

Literally leaping off the bed Alfred dragged Matthew along with him as he quickly walked out the door, chatting excitedly as he went.

"Oh man I can't wait for this! I can't wait to see what everyone's powers are! Wonder if any of them have secret identities. Oh man, this could be like Superman! Or the Flash! Or, OH! The Green Lantern!"

/ / / \ \ \

"Thanks for the ride, Dad." Matthew thanked as he shut the car door behind him. Arthur rolled down the window and looked out at the twins, who were still hand in hand. The same from when they first left Alfred's room.

"Any time, lad. I'll see you in a few hours, okay?"

"See you soon, daddyo." Alfred waved as Arthur reversed his car and drove away. Alfred turned to Matthew and smirked. "'This is gonna be so awesome."

"It's really not that great." But even so Mathew couldn't help his smile back.

They walked into the building and paused in front of the door where the meeting was taking place. Matthew grew increasingly nervous as he heard the various voices waft through the door and he froze up.

"May...Maybe this wasn't a good idea..." And he turned to leave seeming to forget that he was still holding hands with his twin.

"Mattie," Alfred tugged the blond back. "C'mon, no mater what happens, I'll be here to protect you, okay?" He gave Matthew's hand a reassuring squeeze and the Canadian smiled timidly at the other.

"O-Okay..." Matthew took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself. "I...I trust you okay?"

Alfred flashed him his heroic grin. "Of course! I'm the Hero! And I'll always protect my side kick!"

If he wasn't a bundle of nerves Matthew would have protested against being called a side kick but in this situation he let it slide. "Okay..." He breathed, "I think I'm ready. But they are in the middle of the meeting so maybe we should just sneak in..."

However, it would seem that Matthew forgot that he was talking to Alfred F. Bonnefoy-Kirkland. Who, in all aspects, was not one for subtlety. Raising a foot he kicked the door open with a loud BANG, instantly gaining the attention of everyone in the room. Which, unfortunately for Matthew, seemed to be a rather large group for once.

"HEY GUYS!" Alfred exclaimed, puffing out his chest. "The Hero, Alfred F. Bonnefoy-Kirkland is finally here! Along with my side kick, Mattie!" He raised both his and Matthew's hands as if to display his twin. Though as this point Matthew was shielding his burning face and praying for the floor to shallow him up. "The manipulater of emotions!"

Quite was the thing that followed the American's over dramatic entrance and Matthew hated it. Seriously, he would be forever grateful to whoever would break the increasingly uncomfortable silence.

"Welcome back, Birdie."

The Canadian looked up at the Prussian. Clearly not the person that he wanted to be forever grateful towards but hell he'll take what he could get. He offered him a small wave. "Hey, Gilbert."

From there on the meeting actually took a turn for the better, much to Matthew's pleasure. He was even able to apologize to Feliciano, who quickly accepted it while on the verge of tears. Apparently he for some reason assumed the Canadian hated him, which he now knew was untrue. The others greeted him as if he hadn't vanished for a month after a breakdown and actually put up with Alfred's random outbursts every time they even brushed upon the subject of abilities. Though the American was being his loud and rather embarrassing self Matthew was still glad he was there. Not once did he ever leave his side and always looked over and gave Matthew a reassuring smile every time the Canadian began to feel nervous. All in all he was being a very supportive, older twin brother. Well, until...

"Hey."

Matthew turned to the side to see Gilbert taking a seat next to him.

"...Hi." Matthew timidly greeted back. He was uncomfortable. God was he uncomfortable, but he knew this had to happen sooner or later. "Gilbert I—"

"You know, I think you're taller than me."

Matthew blinked at the random observation and stood just a little straighter. Had he really grown? He was sure that when he first met with the Prussian he was the shorter of the pair. "Really?"

Also sitting up straighter, Gilbert placed his hand flat on his head before gliding it over to Matthew. He stopped his hand just before it hit his skin, and he frowned when he found that his hand fell just short of the blond's full height. "Yeah, really. Damn, my age does nothing for my height." He pouted, awesomely, before he crossed his arms and slumped down on his chair. Matthew couldn't help the small upturn of his lips.

"Maybe it's all that coffee and beer you drink." He offered with a shrug. Gilbert made a 'pst' sound.

"Screw that. I'd rather be a midget than give up beer."

He smiled when he saw that that earned him a small laugh. Perhaps is didn't have to be just as awkward as he thought it would be. He, too, seemed to forget that Alfred F. Bonnefoy-Kirkland was in the room. And if there was one thing that the American lacked, it was subtlety.

"Hey. Freak." Alfred began, swinging an arm over his brothers shoulders protectively. "Let me make this perfectly clear. Stop messing with my brother or I'll kick your ass."

Gilbert scoffed before he turned to the louder of the twins. "I think Matt here's old enough to decide who he wants to talk to without some idiot hanging off him."

Alfred narrowed his eyes at the other and leaned in over his brother so that he would get closer to the albino. "The only idiot I see is you."

Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Great come back, moron."

"You're the moron!"

"Al...," This was probably the one thing Matthew thought he should take care of on his own. But, knowing Alfred, he probably wouldn't respect that.

"I don't know what you did to Mattie but he was a mess for days!"

"Al!" Okay, that was something that the Prussian didn't need to know.

"Yeah! He was crying in his room for days! I had to deliver all his meals up personally!"

"Alfred!" Seriously, he needed to find a way to get him to shut up. Now. Looking frantically around the room, his eyes settled on a certain dark haired male. "Did you know Kaoru can make shields?"

Excitedly, the American retreated his arm from around Matthew's shoulders and looked over at the grade schooler. "No way! Seriously? Awesome!"

He throw one last glare at Gilbert, one that clearly said, 'this isn't over' before he focused on getting the Asian's attention. Matthew sent Kaoru a small apologetic smile before he looked down at his hands, unable to look the Prussian in the eye. "I-I'm sorry about that..."

"No. Don't, I..." Gilbert took a deep breath before scratching the back of his neck. Man was he bad at apologizing. "I should be the one apologizing...I'm sorry for...for last time."

Matthew shook his head and looked up at the paler male. "No really it's...it's okay, I guess. I mean...I've had a lot of time to think about it and...I'm sorry for what I did too..."

Gilbert offered the other a small smile. "So...Friends?"

Matthew stared at him for a while before he smiled and punched Gilbert playfully on the shoulder. "Yeah, 'friends'. But you want more, don't you?"

Gilbert smirked at the blond. Though he would never say it aloud he was a grateful for the creepy Russian for doing whatever he did to up the kid's confidence. "Well, you know, I never did get to eat those pancakes..."

Matthews expression turned into a blank stare. "Don't push it."

Gilbert held up his hands defensively. "Sorry."

Loud thumping was suddenly heard and everyone looked up to see the Italian brothers standing at the front of the room. Feliciano was happily hitting the wall behind him to get everyone attention while Lovino was there being his usual grumpy self.

"Ve~Hey everyone!" Feliciano announced loud enough for everyone to hear. "Lovi just had a great idea! Tell them Lovi!"

At this the older Italian glared at his brother. "Why the hell do I have to tell them?" Though seeing as how everyone's attention was now on him, he turned a light pink before he complied. "I-I was just saying that we should go out before exams come..."

"Isn't it a great idea? We should all go down to Toronto tomorrow and hang out, ve~!" Feliciano was basically jumping in his excitement. "It'll be like a field trip!"

"Oh my gosh! We can totally go shopping on Queen!" Feliks exclaimed before flipping open his pink cell phone. "Just let me text my BF so he can come too. It'll be, like, totally awesome!"

Yao sighed through his nose before a small smile appeared on his lips. "Ayieh, sounds like a bit too much fun for a old man like me."

"Aren't you only twenty?" Bella asked with a frown. "You're too young to think like that!"

"So are you going, aru?"

"Wish I could," the female answered with a sigh. "But as a teacher that helps write those stupid exams, I'm afraid I find myself too busy."

"Kaoru and I can come!" Michelle said, waving her arm in the air excitedly. "You'll come with me if I go, right Kaoru?"

Kaoru nodded, his face void of emotion.

While everyone was chatting to see if they would be able to make time out of their busy lives to go to the nearby capital, Feliciano made his way over to the twins.

"Ve~ I hope you can come, Alfredo, Matto!" He said to the two with a large smile. Matthew returned it with a small smile of his own.

"Sure, it does sound like fun." It might be nice to go around with a large group of people for once. Usually when he went out it was only with one or two other people. Plus he wanted to postpone that stupid literary project as much as he could. "Are you going to go, Al?"

Alfred shrugged with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, but I have to pass on this one. I, uh...already got plans."

Matthew arched an eyebrow at this. Plans? Well that was the first he heard about that. Though before he could ask Feliciano spoke.

"That's too bad," Then, glancing over at Gilbert, he leaned in closer to the Canadian with a troubled look on his face. "If you don't want Gilbert to come I can—"

"Oh, oh no!" Matthew quickly interrupted. "No! I mean, thank you but, everything's fine. We, um, we're fine now."

Feliciano smile quickly returned full force and the sudden yellow that surrounded him suddenly snapped into Matthew' vision. Though for once, he didn't mind it. The Italian turned to the inattentive Prussian and hugged him from behind. "Yay Gil! You did it!"

Though Gilbert didn't know what he was talking about, he still smiled his infamous smile and smoothly replied, "Well, yeah! The awesome me can do anything!"

"So are you going, Gil?"

At this the albino made a disapproving noise. "Hm, wish I could, Fel-cakes. But I can't tomorrow, for you see," His smile returned before he sang, "I got a job~~!"

"Oh! Congrats!" Matthew said with a small smile.

"Good for you, Gil-chan!" Feliciano congratulated as he tightened the hug earning a small noise from the Prussian. "I didn't even think it was possible to get a job in this recession! You really are amazing, ve~! What is it?"

After getting the overexcited Italian to stop chocking him, Gilbert answered, "I can't tell you yet. Have to make sure I like it before I commit. Have to make sure they're okay with these." He wiggled his leather clad fingers. "Or else I'm out."

"And your first day's tomorrow?"

"Yep."

"Well, good luck! With whatever it is!" Feliciano said before he turned his attention to Matthew. "So you're coming?"

Matthew nodded. "I just have to ask my parents and make sure it's okay."

"Okay, ve~! Just call me when you know for sure, okay?"

Seeing the Canadian nod again, the Italian sat back down at the table and easily joined into the conversation of tomorrows plans.

For those who don't speak Canadian: When Feliks says 'Shopping on Queen' he's referring to Queen street in Toronto. A lovely long street that basically has everything, srly. Including numerous fashion outlets. I'm sure if Feliks had a choice he would live on that street.

FINALLY. A chapter that isn't so sappy sap. Oh joy, I was really starting to hate myself! As much as I love fluff, too much makes for a sad Kitty. (I'm slightly sadistic like that ^^)
GGaaaahh, I can't write Feliciano, now? What's wrong with me! -hits head with desk so hard it fuses-
