Kage: -Makes a whining sound- I wanted to use British colonies, ones normally unmentioned and ignored in most stories, but I couldn't figure out at what times they were under British rule, I wasn't even sure if Hong Kong was under British rule during the American Revolution. T.T -Fails-
Do any of you know where I can find a list of countries/nations that were under British rule along with a timeline for when they became British colonies and when they gained independence?
I know there's, America, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, China(I'm not absolutely sure.), Seychelles, India, Egypt, parts of Southern Africa(But which parts! ?), and I'm sure he ruled over other places, like a nation that starts with "Z". -Fails- So…yeah. (Help!)
Thank you, TheNextAlice for reviewing. ^^
TheNextAlice, I'm sorry this chapter is such a fail. -.- I feel as though I let you down, I went over multiple different idea's with this song and ended up with -Gestures wildly to chapter- this!Though I hope you enjoy it.
Enjoy.
'Deliver Us' (The Prince of Egypt): One-sided: Mapletea, AusCan(Australia X Canada though it's very small so you may have to squint to see it and I suppose it can be seen as a crush), AmeCan, UsUk.
Warning: Possible Historical inaccuracies, the usage of Canada as a replacement America, sexual mentioning's, fluff, and all that jazz.
"You want to what?" Canada paused in folding the laundry to turn to his brother.
"I want to gain my independence! I don't want to be a colony anymore!" America almost yelled Canada thanked whatever gods that were watching them that England wasn't here.
"Why?" America faltered for a moment before giving a huff.
"The taxes are too high, which is an outrage!"
Too high? Canada raised a brow. The taxes were certainly cheaper than his own.
"They seem fair to me." Canada muttered turning back to his chore of folding the laundry.
"Pfft, you're funny Mattie." Mattie -well actually Matthew- sighed and once again took a pause in folding the laundry.
"Alfred, I'm not joking. Right now you're sounding like a brat." Matthew frowned as he kept his back to his brother.
"W-what?" Matthew sighed.
"Arthur isn't that bad you know," Alfred should know that, Matthew thought with slight jealousy, "He seems very kind to you."
"To me? What about you." Matthew winced hoping his brother wouldn't have asked.
"Good boy Alfred, now just open your mouth a little bit mo-ah, hmm yes just like that…"
"He's nice to me." Matthew murmured.
"Uh-huh, right." Matthew felt himself twitch with annoyance.
"How are you going to gain your independence? He won't accept you know."
"Duh, I know that. I'm going to fight for it!"
"Mr. Kirkland cares so much for you Alfred. You're going to break his heart." Matthew whispered.
"Mr. Kirkland?" Matthews's eyes widened and inwardly he slapped himself for calling England that.
"…Pardon?" he asked playing dumb.
"You called Iggy Mr. Kirkland." Alfred pushed.
"No, I said Arthur." Matthew denied.
Alfred paused before shaking his head.
"Whatever, but," Matthew suddenly had Alfred pressed against his back. He clenched his eyes closed as the American against him leaned forward. "You're joining me…right?"
Eyes slamming open Matthew quickly turned and pushed Alfred away.
"No! No, I'm not joining you!"
"What! ? Why!"
"I rather gain my independence peacefully; there is no reason to spill the blood of innocence."
They both stared each other down until…
"Matthew?"
Bruce stood in the doorway looking from Alfred to Matthew in confusion whist holding Kaelin's hand.
Alfred's jaw clenches and he straightened up.
"Don't worry Bruce, we're done talking." Alfred gave the Australian a tight lipped smile as he left.
"What was that about?" Bruce asked his accent heard slightly threw his words.
"Don't worry about it Bruce." Matthew sighed before giving a small smile and patting the space besides his unfolded laundry.
…
"Mattie, c'mon. With you and me together we can beat England." Alfred cooed blocking Matthew against a wall.
He wouldn't give up, Matthew thought with a spike of annoyance.
"I want no part in this war." there was no tremor in Matthew's voice, he was serious.
"Mattie."
"No."
"C'mon."
"No."
"Please?"
"No, Alfred." Matthew pushed his brother away and quickly exited the room.
Alfred stared after him with slightly cold eyes.
…
"Why have things between America and England been tense?" Matthew looked down at Bruce; the Australian grabbed onto the edge of his shirt and stood on his tiptoes to see what Kaelin was doing.
The kiwi giggled and splashed his hands into the warm bubbly water paying no attention to his brothers.
"It's…difficult to explain." Matthew mumbled as he lightly grabbed Kaelin's wrist to stop the toddler from putting his soap covered hand into his mouth.
"Oh." Bruce murmured arm's innocently encircling Matthew's leg and head resting against his brother's hip. Matthew sighed and ran a slightly soapy hand through the Australian's hair.
"After this why don't we go outside and have a picnic? Does that sound good?" he may have to bathe Kaelin again but that melancholy look on Bruce's face tore at Matthew's heartstrings, besides at the mention of a picnic the Australian's face brightened.
"Really? Can we! ? Can we lie out there for a moment and listen to a story?" Matthew smiled and even Kaelin seemed happy, as though he understood one hundred percent.
"Of course."
…
Munching on a sandwich with a cup of water besides him Bruce looked up at Matthew with hopeful eyes; Kaelin was chewing on a piece of apple completely content.
"Now." Matthew hummed resting his hands on his knees. "What story should I tell you?"
"A new one!" Bruce said instantly wanting to know a new story since they had just finished the other one Matthew made up.
"Of course." Matthew smiled as both Kaelin and Bruce settled closer to the Canadian.
"Now, let's get started."
. . .
There was a land covered in green, animals and plants were plentiful. Creatures also lived peacefully; these creatures were an ancient being that held the same figure as a normal human but also had features of an animal such as a tail, claws and pointed ears.
With time normal human's stumbled across this land and made nice with the creatures, whose beauty outshined that of a normal person. They began to trade and were surprised when the creatures began to offer their own kind into the trade. These people were greedy and eagerly accepted this trade.
The sold creatures gave no fight to what was happening, they were used to being bought and sold. Some were kept as pets, other's sold and sold again, and some even became laborers.
. . .
"Were they pretty like you Matthew?" Bruce asked lying on his stomach. Matthew blushed a light pink and coughed into his hand.
"I'm not pretty Bruce."
"Yes, you are."
"No I don't think I am and the creatures were very beautiful."
"Was there a blonde one with violet eyes?" Bruce asked slyly.
"Well…I suppose there was." Matthew allowed a slightly questioning look in his gaze.
"Okay, you can continue now." Bruce grinned, a cheeky little grin.
Matthew raised an eyebrow slightly before nodding.
"Alright."
And as Matthew continued with his story, Bruce's eyes growing wide in awe as one creature escaped dead set on freeing his brothers and sisters from their fate; everything seemed alright with the world.
It was as though they were still a family, unbroken.
Though Matthew knew what lied ahead.
'You can't deliver a person who does not want to be free.' Matthew thought as he looked at the two, now, slumbering colonies.
