Cross My Heart (Marianas Trench): PruCan.
Warning: This chapter is rather tame, Alcohol usage maybe? Oh! And mentions of very slightly sexual things. Its very subtle though.
Prussia sat in his room looking at the calendar across from himself.
Two more days until the meeting.
How unfair.
Ludwig sat at the desk on the opposite side of the room quickly typing up a report on his country which was filling the hotel room with small tic tic tics.
"Hey Lud, I'm going out." he gained a small noise and nod from the busy country.
Grabbing a bag, ripped and slightly worn, Gilbert quickly exited before his brother could change his mind.
Pfft, his brother thought of him as hazardous for the other nation's health…
Where did he come up with these stories?
Grinning to himself the - awesome - Prussian took a nearby elevator down to the lobby.
He walked across the lobby and made it outside - ignoring the chill of the Canadian weather - and began his descent.
Luckily the person he was searching for lived close.
…
"Gilbert?" Matthew said in slight surprise as he opened the door looking at the Prussian whom walked over.
Gilbert smirked and winked.
"Hey birdie."
Matthew sighed softly a smile coming to his lips as he turned waving over his shoulder for the other to enter.
"Take what you want to take." Matthew said more than a little bit used to this.
"You sure?"
"Oui."
Obviously Matthew never expected rough hands to cup his cheeks as another's mouth covered his own, after a moment Gilbert pulled back with a smirk. His lips only centimeters away from the Canadian's own trembling lips.
"Date me again."
Surprise filled the Prussian when Matthew gave a small laugh. The Canadian smiled - it seemed forced but Gilbert didn't take notice - and lightly swatted the Prussian's shoulder.
"Don't do that Gilbert. I thought you were serious." Matthew pulled away shaking his head smile bright.
"Do you want pancakes Gilbert? Is that why you're here?" Matthew threw Gilbert a smile as he went into the kitchen.
"Ja, birdie that would be great…" Gilbert murmured following the Canadian into the kitchen.
…
Gilbert lay in the hotel bed staring at the dark ceiling as Ludwig continued to slumber in the other bed. Gilbert missed the stupid things.
Like - when he used to date the Canadian - Matthew would wake up at 3am and ask Gilbert if he could get him a glass of water.
Gilbert only agreed because a sleepy Canadian with his hair messy always looked so cute. His eyes always seemed so dazzling under moonlight.
Pfft~ he wasn't whipped, what were you thinking about?
Then when Gilbert went back to Germany - the nation not the personification - Matthew would call - sometimes drunk, sometimes sober - and when he picked up the phone Matthew would giggle before saying dirty little things.
He was such a little tease.
Why they broke it off Gilbert no longer knew.
Feeling an edge of depression Gilbert found it a good idea to call up Francis and Antonio.
Why not have a round of drinks with friends?
…
The phone rang; Matthew looked up from the screen - a documentary on polar bears - and reached for his house phone.
"Hello?" Matthew asked holding the phone to his ear - without looking at the CallerID.
"Matte~!"
Matthew blinked in surprise.
"Gilbert?"
"Mattie~ Take me home~" Matthew gulped before smiling, shaking his head and laughing.
"Okay Gilbert. I'll take you back to your hotel."
There is a long silence on the other side.
"Thank you…"
"Your welcome." Matthew said smiling as he grabbed his keys.
…
Gilbert sat upon the hotel bed, staring at the wall in front of him.
How could he show Matthew that he wanted more than a friendship again? If Matthew wanted him too, he would run around the world and back to Matthew until he couldn't stand on his own anymore. But would that be enough?
…
The world conference was still taking place for another three days, so.
Gilbert had three days to convince Matthew that he wanted a relationship again.
Gilbert sighed hands in his pockets.
Well that's going to be harder than it sounds…
"Gilbert?" the albino lifted his head looking at the Canadian whom held an ice cream cone in his hand.
"Hey Mattie." the albino forced on a grin making Matthew smile.
"How are you feeling, Gilbert?" Matthew asked, Gilbert felt his heart clench at the unmentioned nickname "Gil" that Matthew would usually say.
…
Gilbert tried, he truly did, but it seemed that no matter what he said Matthew always had to say something similar but with a friendly meaning.
So Gilbert would agree with Matthew putting off the simple "lets go out again" comment.
He didn't want to force a relationship onto the Canadian. He knew that if he were to admit his feeling that the Canadian would feel responsible and force himself into the relationship.
It had happened the first time.
Only now the roles were reversed.
…
Matthew looked over the book but seemed unable to read it. He sighed softly dog-earing a corner of a page before shutting it and placing it on the cushion besides him.
He leaned back; eye's glued to the ceiling. He wonder's if Gilbert ever regret's dating him. I mean the Canadian did seem to practically force the Prussian into a relationship. He hadn't meant too, really he hadn't. He had found himself liking the Prussian after he was able to tell Alfred and him apart.
The relationship seemed to work.
Until Matthew took notice of how the Prussian seemed to act around him.
However…Matthew was slightly selfish and tried to make the relationship work, though it seemed to be a lost cause.
So he allowed himself to let the Prussian go.
Though he never realized that the Prussian began to grow his own feelings.
…
Gilbert was getting drunk again; Francis and Antonio looked at him worriedly since the Prussian was shooting them back quickly.
Gilbert - sulking - wonder's when Matthew began to doubt him, because after Matthew had softly told him - eyes lowered and seemed to be hiding so much of his misery - that it would possibly be better if they stopped seeing each other he could see how much the Canadian wished he weren't saying those words. That it were a jest. And it was that small trembling smile that Matthew had gave him before leaving that made Gilbert want to grab onto Matthew and beg him not to leave.
But he hadn't and he wonder's how they were ever able to look at one another still.
Maybe a part of them… wanted to be together.
Gilbert didn't know, so he continued to drink.
…
Quietly Matthew tried again to read, but he was reading the same sentence for twenty minutes. Sighing, he gave up once more, though he perked at the sound of the phone.
Reaching for the device he looked at callerID and bit his bottom lip.
Gilbert.
Hesitant he answered.
"H-hello?" Matthew winced at the way his voice wavered.
"Mattie~ Take me home~" Matthew felt his heart clench and shook it off with a small laugh.
"To your hotel right?" Matthew asked sure it would be the same as last time.
"Noooo! Home, I don't wanna be alone!" Matthew can feel the small clench of cheep plastic begin to bend beneath his fingers.
"O-okay Gilbert…" Matthew found himself agreeing breathlessly.
"Mattie…?" a small hic came after and Matthew wondered how drunk the Prussian was.
"Y-yeah Gilbert?" Matthew whispered into the phone.
"I luv you." Matthew smiled despite himself feeling his eyes going moist.
"I l-love you too."
On the other end Gilbert smiles.
They could try again.
