Kage: Well anyways this is for MattieMicBrownWilliams whom asked for Egypt x Canada and later asked for it to be slightly based on A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. I hope you enjoy it MattieMicBrownWilliams!

I am so so so so so so so very sorry! I got into a little bit of a pickle with this. And now I have school… also my mom had surgery on her appendix (so much stress and it doesn't help that there is so much Drama in my family! -.- then my crack whore(I'm sorry for the cursing!) of an Aunt was such a jacky (my nice way of saying Jacka**) and tried to pick a fight with my mom calling her mean things. T-T People not related to us love us the most… isn't that sad?) then the internet shut off for a few days, my dad brought his sister to our house (she wasn't much of a help with cleaning) she also "owns" a beauty saloon and cut both of our (my sister and me) hair. However it was supposed to be the tips! My hair is shorter now…

She also dyed it but it turned out Orangish-pink! It was supposed to be red! And she was supposed to dye the Tips! Like half of my hair was dyed! That was on Sunday/last Sunday…

My mom re-dyed it so it was good.

Anyway back to schedule…

Hopefully Gupta isn't too ooc but I think Ancient Egypt is slightly ooc… T-T

Updates are probably going to be less then my normal updating of once or twice a day. -Guilty-

Well anyway…I have been having weird thoughts of doing a Maple Series of sorts for 2PCanada sort of like History for 2PCanada's life…and a one-shot for 2pFrance x 1pFrance along with a side of 2pCanada x 1pCanada they would be related in a way, sort of like 1pFrance's thoughts on the treatment of 2pCanada under 2pFrance's hands and Matthew is the same way only he knows how 2pCanada looks when vulnerable… It seems so interesting I wanna start naow~!

Maybe I'll write it in this Maple Series instead of posting it as it's own story…

Thank you, Aya-of-the-night (I'm happy you enjoyed it~ :3), BlackRoseGirl666 (I know! D: I was so off-put when the words just wouldn't form and it didn't help that I couldn't find the right music. ;u;), Ayumi Kudou (-High fives- I'm glad you liked it. Lol! That's a good summary XD and what kind of adventure~? Well doesn't that suck? It reminds me of a battle over NaruHina and NaruSaku T-T I hate pairing battles because it get's newer fans confused over what pairing they should like… (Used to like Spain x N. Italy and Germany x S. Italy until she saw how little other people seemed to like 'em and then they get butt hurt. -.-) and that sucks! Why Lilly no get to love other people?), ShunKazamis-Girl (America came out on top though… -.- and I was so rooting for Canada even if I couldn't watch his part in the Olympics I kept missing the episodes and the ones on demand only show America. ;m; Oooh~ World x Canada my favorite~~), BlueRavenQuill (Thankies~ and hopefully I'll be able to find a good enough song for it!), crimsonkoteto (I'm so glad you liked them~ and wow I never thought people would like my one-shots that much! ^^), moonlightgaia123 (I'm glad and it's okay~ I haven't been on much either… T-T), Auto-Alchemechanicist () for reviewing.

Enjoy. (ºヮº)৩

Egypt = Gupta

Ancient Egypt = Amunet (Ancient Egyptian female name, The hidden one I believe it means.)

A Thousand Years(Christina Perri) Egypt x Canada?

Warning: Nothing really, it just has fluff and maybe insecurity on Egypts part.

Gupta felt his heart beat fast.

Colors were lost to him.

A promise of a better tomorrow was in Matthew's smile.

Could he be brave?

Approach his Canadian friend and reveal his secret?

How did he even fall in love if that was what he was originally afraid of?

However, when seeing Matthew stand away and alone - almost like an outcast - his fear seems to melt away.

He remembers the first time they had met - he would have blushed as the memories resurfaced - it had been an awkward beginning.

Though thankfully Matthew had pushed until a friendship had formed.

The Canadian was rather stubborn.

And Gupta amused himself with thoughts of getting one step closer.

…

Matthew continued to speak softly talking of art class and photography club.

"Sadly the photo blurred…"

Gupta looked to his friend the ever neutral expression on his face though there was the slightest upturn of tilts to the corner of his lip. Someone - an outsider - wouldn't notice the slight change in expression but Matthew smiled knowingly.

Gupta stared for a moment wondering if this was how it felt - being so alive.

He felt as though, before Matthew had appeared, he were dying every day awaiting someone or something to make its presence known.

He wonder's if Matthew ever feels it too.

If he had Gupta would place a hand upon his arm - his own silent way of telling him to not be afraid.

…

If there were such a thing as rebirth would it be possible that he could have loved Matthew for a thousand years?

If it was true Gupta knew that he would love Matthew for a thousand more.

…

There is a flash and Gupta blinks confused before looking up from his book on Ancient Egyptian history to see Matthew waving a photograph.

"When you take a photograph its like time stands still." Matthew uttered sheepishly.

Gupta continued to stare.

Matthew was beautiful - inside and out.

Gupta knew he had to be brave.

…

He watched stonily, the Prussian had his arm over the Canadian's shoulder's holding him close as he went over how "awesome" his day had been. He made his way over and held back the ever so slight beginnings of a smirk as Matthew immediately pulled away from Gilbert to stand besides him.

As if Gupta will allow anyone else stand in his way and take what he wants. Gilbert raised a brow but said nothing.

…

Every breath Gupta had taken for the past minute seemed useless, why try to breathe if Matthew was going to steal it away?

…

Quiet and careful Gupta didn't react when Matthew placed his hand upon his shoulder - his hand was warm to the touch, Gupta noticed.

After every hour it finally came to this.

They were alone and they were going to watch a movie.

Alone, not with Alfred, Gilbert, Arthur, Kiku, France, Antonio, Lovino, Feliciano, or Ludwig.
"What about that new Madea movie? I always wanted to see that. Or do you want to watch something different? We could watch a documentary on Egypt or something." Matthew murmured looking over the movie titles. Looking to his side he noticed Gupta already ordering tickets. Once the Egyptian male returned Matthew accepted his ticket guiltily and looks at the title of the ticket only to be surprised as the title of the movie he wanted to see stared back at him.

"Gupta…" Matthew said touched at the gesture.

There was no change of expression and Gupta nodded knowing how happy this made Matthew.

One step closer.

…

Not seeing Matthew for a whole day was like dying.

But he could survive.

Besides,

He'll see Matthew tomorrow.

…

Alfred screeched from his seat throwing popcorn on them. Gupta looked to the American teen annoyed - luckily no one would see his expression - when he felt something lean onto him. Looking to his side Matthew continued watching the screen a bored look on his face.

"This movie is boring…I don't know how Alfred's so afraid of this…" Gupta silently agreed the effects were really bad and really…

Exploding birds?

A chorus of laughter filled the theater as a part that was supposed to be horrific was only able to pass as funny.

Which was really sad to tell you the truth.

…

"I'm back." Gupta said as he entered the house it was his normal way of telling his mother he had returned from school.

Pausing from her task of making a meal Amunet gave her son a small smile before turning back to her cooking.

"School was fine." Gupta said knowing his mother would have wanted to know.

And indeed she gave a nod her small smile growing ever so slightly to show she was happy.

Gupta was never bothered by the silence in their home, it was comfortable and warm.

It also allowed him to think.

…

It felt strange…

Loving someone.

However Gupta found himself uncaring but still uncertain.

Would Matthew love him the same?

Even if he were to tell Matthew that he loved the Canadian for a thousand years,

And that he would love him a thousand more.

…

There had been an emptiness in him, people believed him to be odd simply because he didn't speak. Though Matthew never thought of him as odd or strange.

And that makes his heart skip a beat.

…

He needed to get one step closer…

Step.

Matthew laughed at something the Cuban had said before waving a polite smile on his lips.

Step.

Matthew pulled his cell-phone from his pocket and seemed to turn it off.

Step.

Matthew looked up before smiling.

"Hi Gupta."

Gupta nodded as they began their decent towards class.

…

He had died every day waiting for someone like Matthew and he hoped beyond anything that Matthew wouldn't be afraid when he told him how much he cared for him.

…

Sitting besides Gupta Matthew smiled to himself as he leaned back against the tree to get a better picture of the sky. A touch to his shoulder brought his attention to a vulnerable looking Gupta - though to be honest if anyone else were to look at the male they would see his average monotonous expression. Matthew gave his friend a look of worry. About to ask what was wrong Matthew could only stay frozen as Gupta's other hand came up to rest upon his cheek.

It was as though everything were inside slow motion as Gupta leaned up, the hand upon his shoulder giving the slightest of shakes. Gupta almost faltered before gently - a feather like touch really - brushing his lips against Matthew's.

'His lips were rather soft...' Matthew thought finger's rising to touch his lips when Gupta pulled away avoiding eye contact.

Gupta only looked up when he felt a warm hand grip onto his own and looking up into Matthew's smile.

Gupta smiled back and Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

Gupta's smile was only for him Matthew knew.

Kage: I hope it was okay! T-T I feel as though I failed slightly in writing this…

In maybe a month or two I'm taking down my poll and adding a new one on what type of maple series you want next; Flower meanings, Mythology/(Sort of like with gods and stories about gods like Hades and Persephone, cupid and that girl his mother wanted him to his with one of his love arrows… -face palms because she loves that story- I think it was called the four tasks or something like that) , Au's, Nations(where every chapter they are nations like in the anime no Au's whatsoever), Historic (Every one-shot will be based on a historical event known or not)Etc. (Review or message me on any other type you would like for the next "Maple Series" list.)
