Kage: I'm not very sure where this came from, but I hope you enjoy it.

I think I rather like this foursome pairing. XD

Also the chapter switches, first its past (during the time Canada is a colony) then it becomes present time, sorry if it's confusing.

Thank you, BlackRoseGirl666 (Ah! I'm sorry! I tried to fix that, I knew it didn't have much of a good flow going about it… I'm happy you were still able to enjoy it over all.), Aya-of-the-night (Thankies~ ^^), Ayumi Kudou (XD I'll make sure to write more of that pairing! Ooh~ Nice choice I rather like that song~), MattieMicBrownWilliams (I'm glad you enjoyed your request! ^^ It's fine I'm just happy you enjoyed it!), Witty Name Goes Here (I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think PruCan is popular because Canada has a place called New Prussia I believe. XD Though it confuses me, if people were to personify that area and call it a PruCan love child does that mean every single area in Canada should be personified? Like every single town in every province or territory or state? XD SO MANY CHILDREN! Oooh~ NethCan and Nordics x Canada, nice~) for reviewing.

Enjoy. (ºヮº)৩

Sad Piano Rap Instrumental: Beat Title- When You Left: Australia x Canada x New Zealand x Hong Kong (Foursome pairing *-*), Unrequited: MapleTea

Warning: Possible fluff, a little brotherly at the beginning perhaps before going into romance, Mentions of Arthur using Matthew (not because he looks like Alfred this time its more because he's not "Savage"), Racial insults possibly. Au-ish.

The metallic tang in his mouth was bitter, eyes narrowed on the ground hiding away his feeling of betrayal.

Arthur didn't love him.

The door to the study closed with an almost silent tic.

…

Matthew looked up from the papers upon the conference table and smiled - small and sweet - at the three other's who smiled, grinned and politely nodded back.

Arthur's eyes narrowed ever so slightly from his position between Alfred and Francis.

What were those four doing?

…

Matthew busied himself with folding sheets, hair tied back and lips in a thin line a second away from down turning.

"Matthew…" the Canadian turned to Kaelin eyes worried.

"Yes? What's wrong?" Kaelin shifted hands clasped and his thumbs and finger's rubbing together in nervousness.

"Why does it mean when Mr. Kirkland touches you?" Matthew's eyes widened and he gulped.

"D-did he touch you Kaelin?" Matthew asked dreading the answer only to become relieved when Kaelin shakes his head.

"He say's that I am much to savage despite my outward appearance." Matthew frowns slightly and approaches the other before embracing him.

"He say's that he has you so why would he dirty his hands with me?" small hands clench into the cloth at his shoulders.

"What kind of hug is this Matthew?" Matthew stays silent for a moment before sighing.

"I don't know."

…

Kaelin giggles at something Bruce whispers in his ear, Matthew talks to Kaoru with a smile looking a moment away from laughing himself, and Kaoru has a faint smile on his lips.

Arthur watches Matthew with half-lidded eyes.

When had the Canadian grown to become so lovely?

…

Matthew lays in bed, eyes open and staring at nothing.

He could barely see his own hand.

A sliver of light brakes into his room when the door is opened and Matthew turns on his side with a small - albeit worried - frown.

"Did you have nightmares again?" Bruce is tearful as he nods the candle carefully held in his hand.

"Come in." Matthew murmurs pulling up his blanket for the other to crawl in.

Bruce does so after snuffing out the candle.

"Thank you." Bruce whispers head tucked beneath Matthew's chin.

"You don't have to thank me." Matthew says holding the Australian closer gently.

"Why?" Bruce asks pulling back and he could almost see Matthew's smile.

"Because I love you, Bruce." Bruce is silent as he leans closer,

They aren't sure who kissed whom first.

And they can't find themselves caring.

…

Arthur's eyes find themselves drawn to Matthew again and again.

He can't help but find himself jealous when Matthew laughs at something Bruce says, or when he hugs Kaelin, or when he smiles at Kaoru.

And he can't help but wonder if their relationship is more than brotherly.

…

The room is plain, walls white and the old wood floor beneath their feet was cold.

Matthew sits behind Kaoru on the bed a ribbon in his mouth and a brush in his hand. A small cloth lay on his lap and Kaoru sits still hands clasped in his own lap eyes staring forward.

The Canadian is careful and gentle as he brushes Kaoru's hair and ties the ribbon around the overgrown strands.

It is quiet as Matthew reaches for the scissors besides them and makes even snips brushing and cutting for a few moments pausing a few times to measure the length. Smiling to himself Matthew places the scissors and folds the cloth on his lap where the hair had fallen to.

"Done." Matthew whispers finger's running along the newly cut hair to make sure the strands were even and such. Kaoru is silent as he leans back head tilted back upon Matthew's shoulder. Matthew continues to smile and his arms encircle the other.

"Thank you, Matthew." Matthew smiles softly.

"I love you too, Kaoru."

Kaoru's smile is beautiful.

…

When Arthur see's Bruce, Kaoru and Kaelin take turns kissing Matthew - and it was on the lips too - he is shocked speechless.

Though he didn't have the time to demand what they were doing because the four had already exited the room, Bruce laughing over Matthew's embarrassed - but pleased- expression with Kaelin holding onto his arm with a wide smile and Kaoru following with a faint upturn of his lips.

…

The bite of a lip, a soft stroke across his face brushing back strands of curled hair. The sound of a pleased exhale.

Matthew stays still eyes half lidded as he looked to his sides. Kaoru has his head upon Bruce's shoulder and his hand is held in Kaelin's - both hands rest on Matthew's torso - Kaelin makes a sound as he presses closer to Matthew's side. Bruce has his leg over Matthew's hip breathing deeply face half buried in his shoulder and neck pillowed by his arm.

Matthew feels his eyes grow heavy, his arm tightens slightly around Kaelin - just to make sure he doesn't slip from the bed, a worried protective side of him whispers - and he rest his cheek against the crown of Bruce's head. He smiles to himself finger's brushing Kaoru's cheeks gently, Kaoru shifts leaning into Matthew's touch.

How strange, Matthew thinks about to fall asleep.

It's strange because it feel's right.

…

It hurts to watch, but Arthur keeps watching burning it into his memory.

Matthew leans into Bruce's shoulder with Kaoru pleasantly squished between them and Kaelin smiles at Bruce whist leaning more into Matthew and holding Kaoru's hand behind Matthew's back - Kaelin holds that strange polar bear in his other arm curled into his side, Arthur notices. He also takes notice of the evil looking koala nuzzled in Kaoru's arm, a panda is in a pouch on Bruce's back and a small fuzzy sheep is in Matthew's arms giving a small peeped "baa" every once in a while.

They all look happy…

Arthur frowns knowing - by the looks of it - that they have been doing this for quite some time.

He too late,

Very much too late.
