Sorry for the bit of a wait, but you will have longer waits in the future considering I'm entering Hell *ahem* I mean High School….So yeah only a few more weeks till I'm a prisoner! FUN! I do not own Hetalia although let's take a vote; Who thinks Merwholocked should own Hetalia? *cricket noises* Fine I see how much you guys care! ONWARDS!
PS: Shout out to KyoshiWarrior (I don't even know if you're reading this) for writing chapter two of A Month to Fall in Love (which is a beautiful PruCan so far and I totally recommend it.) That chapter inspired me to finally get off my lazy butt and write this so Danke!
Matthew awoke with his head still on Gilbert's shoulder.
"Morning Birdie." Gilbert offered, still in a sitting position.
"Eh? Did I fall asleep? That's odd, I never fall asleep at night."
They sat in silence for a moment, watching the sunrise over the buildings turning all of the glass in the city to glittering diamonds. Everything was perfect, and still until,
"Scheiße!"
"What is it?" The neko whispered, still entranced by the beauty of the rising sun.
"It's seven fifteen!" Gilbert yelled staring at the leather wristwatch he always wore.
Matthew quickly got to his feet and hissed a few not so innocent curses along with his usual cry of 'Maple!'
"Ve're going to be late come on!" The vampire stood too quick for a human to see, hopped off the roof making a dent in the dumpsters below and took off running as fast as he could (all you would be able to see was a silver blur racing past.)
"Yeah thanks for waiting!" Matthew whisper yelled and then hopped rooftop to rooftop until he reached his home, there he pulled on his red and white Canadian sweatshirt, roughly stuffed his tail in jeans wincing as he did so and promising he would never do something like that again, tried to make his hair look like he hadn't been sleeping outside (pshhh who would do something like that) and ran out again, already five minutes late.
He arrived at the double doors of the school out of breath which wasn't a normal thing for him. Gilbert had arrived a few minutes earlier and was sitting in a tree for reasons he could not fathom until he looked at the scary lady that was guarding the door.
She had blonde (almost white) hair that had a white bow in it, and she was wearing a dress, a flouncy, dark blue, dress with a crisp apron tied around it, see usually thats a innocent I will buy flowers and paint my nails pink look. Noooo, not on her it wasn't, it looked like the clothes of a serial killer and was that a knife peaking out of her stockings! Her face also held a 'cross me and I will kill you' expression.
Matthew was seriously considering joining Gilbert in that tree. (Said Prussian was now staring at this lady with a terrified expression) until the girl locked eyes with him and motioned him to come closer. The Canadian gulped and squeaked something that sounded like, ' I humbly appeal to the pancake gods, maple help me.' and shuffled towards her.
At that moment Gilbert decided to hop out of the tree and share Mattie's 'walk of doom.'
The lady looked them over once, sniffing like a bloodhound. "Detention." She decided.
"Vhat?!" It's ze second day of school!" The albino protested, running his fingers through his hair.
"Y-yeah…" Matthew contributed.
"Besides, you didn't give Francis and Antonio detention!" It was true, the Frenchman and the Spaniard had walked in just moments before Matthew had arrived.
The lady scowled, a glint in her eye that could only be described as 'murderous.' "Detention." She said again handing them each a slip. They both winced under her glare and with shaking hands took the slips.
Both vampire and neko walked into the school with heads down and power walked to first period where the teacher had already started and was giving them her best evil eye (which didn't even compare to scary door lady.) Gilbert took his seat by Francis and Antonio who were both giving him 'you look like you're going to puke, you okay?' looks. And Matthew sat by Feliciano, who instead of being subtle said.
"Veee! Are you okay? You look like you're gonna throw up!" Really, really loudly.
The Canadian waved off concerned looks and kept his head down, his cheeks heating up. Because he refused to look up he didn't notice Ivan eyeing his detention slip with a satisfied smirk. Again, neither the vampire or the neko could concentrate on the lesson and when it was over they both charged out.
"That woman was so…" Matthew shuddered not being able to find the right word.
"Ja." Gilbert agreed. And he was about to say more when Francis and Antonio caught up with them.
"Hola mi amigos!" The Spaniard panted, he obviously had had to run to catch up with them
"You feeling better Mon cher?" (my dear) Francis asked looking at Gilbert with big blue eyes. Matthew smirked realizing he had just called the Prussian 'my dear'
"Fine. Just the 'guard' in the front is terrifying. Ve got detention for being late."
"Si! She totally is." Antonio agreed. "And detention? On the second day of school? That's not right!"
"Agreed." Matthew said quietly.
They walked in comfortable silence for a few moments, Francis a little closer to Antonio then necessary. Soon the green-eyed Spaniard broke the silence;
"So mi amigo, have a good hunt last night?" He hissed quietly enough (which was a surprise to everyone since Spaniards can't ever seem to speak below a shout.) so that if Matthew had been human he wouldn't have heard anything, but he wasn't and so he heard every word.
And Gilbert knew he heard. The ruby eyed boy smirked at the neko and made a 'my friends are dummkopfs aren't they?' gesture. Matthew nodded 'total imbéciles' he thought. But smiled at them, they may be oblivious idiots but they were endearing and sweet and apparently Gilbert trusted them enough to let them in on his secret.
"Whaaat?" Toni whined looking at the expression of amusement on the albino's face.
"Oui, tell us what is so comique?" Francis asked flipping back his golden hair and seductively staring (well, he is French so that was his normal stare) at all of them.
Gilbert gave Matthew his best puppy-dog face, it was almost as good as Alfred's, his red eyes widened and were those tears?! His bottom lip quivered as if he were about to cry as he pouted. His face screamed 'PLEASE LET ME ZELL ZHEM!' The neko rolled his violet eyes, looked nervous (and possibly a bit frightened) for a moment but then gestured towards Gilbert's two friends who were both staring at them in confusion, silently saying 'go ahead.'
Keeping his voice low the vampire hissed "Birdie's a neko!"
Antonio's eyes widened in and he looked some what like a surprised baby bunny. As they reached the door of their next class he said,
"A neko? Like those cat things?"
"Mon cher, little Mathieu is not a 'thing' as you so vulgarly put it, he is a human being, an incredibly adorable human being if I may say so myself." Francis winked in Matthew's direction and Gilbert may or may not of had to choke down a snarl.
Matthew turned a nice shade of pink. "T-thank y-you?"
"So you have ears and everything?" Antonio whispered.
The neko nodded before shoving his hands deep in his pockets and walking in the classroom with his head down, his cheeks flushed, and muttering something about inquisitive Spaniards, pervy Frenchmen, and of course maple syrup.
"Awww, Mon ami your little Canadian is so mignon!" (Mignon-cute) Francis cooed before muttering all the things he'd like to do to him. He only shut up after both Gilbert and Antonio slapped him, the latter looking a bit worried (and perhaps heart broken?)
All throughout second period the three friends whispered about the discovery about their new friend (much to the dismay of Matthew who found the lesson rather interesting but couldn't concentrate with three chattering idiots next to him)
"So he knows about The Incident?" Antonio asked Gilbert.
"Vell he doesn't know everything but he knows I'm a vampire."
"How'd he find out?" Francis asked curiously.
Matthew, who had finally had enough, snapped and whispered the whole story to them looking as annoyed as a stereotypical Canadian can look without apologizing for being rude. The two that didn't already know the tale listened intently, hanging on to every word. Francis had to clap a hand over his mouth to suppress a squeal when he got to the part about Matthew falling asleep on Gilbert's shoulder.
"Shut up! You're beginning to sound like Elizabeta!" Gilbert hissed to the Frenchman who was turning beet red, breathing heavily, and starting to nosebleed.
They all laughed at that except for Elizabeta who was sitting behind them and now giving them a mixture of curious looks and death glares.
By lunch time they had all forgotten about the terrifying bodyguard of death and were all happily sitting at the lunch table. That is until Alfred and his friends sat down. His friends consisted of an ill-tempered Italian with brown hair and an odd curl that stuck up (the Canadian thought this person looked exactly like Feliciano.) A grumpy blonde Brit with dirty blonde hair, enormous eyebrows and a black cloak for some reason, and the Japanese boy who Matthew had walked with the other day. The four friends were deep in conversation and didn't notice when Matthew waved;
"I can't believe you didn't get detention! You were the one talking after all, you bloody git." The Brit said to the Italian.
"Don't you blame it all on me you f****** b******! Alfred started it!"
"Hey! Artie's right you still should of gotten detention!" Alfred protested.
"My name is Arthur, not Artie, git." Arthur corrected, gritting his teeth.
"Whatevs it doesn't matter, Lovino still should've taken the fall with us." The American replied. "Don'tcha think Kiku?" All eyes turned to the Japanese boy,
"I refuse to take sides in arr of this." Kiku said quietly, picking at his lunch with chopsticks.
"But you got detention too! Only Lovi got out of it!" Alfred protested.
"That is true, and I agree the scary rady was harsh, but I refuse to be apart of your argument." He replied cooly.
Finally the conversation died down a little and Matthew was able to say something. "You got detention too Al?" He asked softly.
Alfred jumped. "Whoa Mattie! I didn't know you were there dude! And yeah, totally sucks man."
Arthur looked at the American skeptically. "Who are you talking to?" He asked looking around.
"My brother." Alfred answered pointing at Matthew. Arthur's eyes widened a little as he saw who was sitting in what he previously thought to be an empty seat. Just as he was about to say something, perhaps stutter and apology, Gilbert interrupted.
"You're Birdie's bruder? Man, you look just like him!"
Alfred looked the albino up and down, obviously not liking him very much but answered,
"Yup that's me." He scooched a bit closer to Matthew.
"Kesesese, ze awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt at your service!"
Lovino groaned, "Beilschmidt?! So there's another Potato B******?"
Gilberts smile faltered a bit. "Oh, so you're Lovi. Yeah Feli talks about you a lot." He rubbed the back of his neck, his grin reappearing but Matthew could see it looked a bit forced.
"Yup that would be me, Potato B****** Number Two. What's it to you?" The little Italian glared, cracking his knuckles menacingly which caused Arthur and Alfred to laugh knowing that Lovino was no braver than his brother, even Kiku had to stifle a chuckle.
They continued talking and arguing until the end of lunch period. By that time Francis had began flirting with Arthur, both Arthur and Antonio had slapped Francis, Matthew had to break up two fights, one between Lovino and Gilbert and one between Alfred and Gilbert (that one had started when Al tried to get Gilbert to stop sitting so close to Matthew.) All the while Kiku was taking pictures of two boys he thought would be cute together and squealing 'yaoi!' (The pairings included Alfred and Arthur, Arthur and Francis, Gilbert and Matthew, Matthew and Arthur (to which Matthew might of screamed something along the lines of "Maple! Burn it, burn it now.") - Lovino and Alfred, Lovino and Antonio, and Antonio and Francis.)
"Well see you in detention I suppose." The Brit called dismally to the others as he walked to his next class his cloak swishing behind him. He was met with a chorus of halfhearted 'See you's'
The rest of the day went by very quickly and before they knew it Gilbert, Matthew, Alfred, Arthur and Kiku were all sitting in a classroom that looked like it hadn't been used in a very long time. There was a chalkboard at the front (who uses a chalkboard anymore?) - and most of the desks were broken in one way or another. Boxes lined the wall, blocking the windows from view, although they must of been empty boxes because,
CRASH
A pile of boxes fell to the floor and two figures came tumbling into view, one with long golden hair, the other with short chocolate hair and bright green eyes.
"Toni? Franceypants?" Gilbert burst out laughing at the sight of the two.
"Ugh, what is the Frog doing here?" Arthur groaned burying his head in his hands and muttering something about cursing him. Kiku quickly made a note of that nickname for the fanfiction he was writing about the two of them.
"Oh we couldn't just leave our friends to suffer this horrible fate on their own!" Francis said putting a hand to his forehead and pretending to faint.
"Si! So we decided to join you!" Antonio nodded.
The room (except for Arthur who was too busy grumbling something about Dumbledora the Explora) burst into laughter and the two took their seats and awaited the teacher that was supposed to be overseeing their imprisonment.
Very soon after everyone had gotten settled the door burst open and two figures stepped in. One was the scary guard lady that had given everyone their detention slips. (Was it just Matthew or did she look even more terrifying now?) And the other was fair haired, purple eyed Ivan Braginski.
The lady looked at all of them with a twinkle of malice in her eye. In a cold voice accented with something no one could place she said;
"I trust you all know why you're here?"
Alfred raised his hand;
"Because the school justice system is like, totally messed up and you really hate us?" He guessed.
Ivan smirked and chortled that cruel laugh that Matthew had heard so many times in his dreams.
"Kolkolkol no, well about the first part, but I guess the hating you is true da?" He looked to the lady for conformation, even he seemed terrified by her and if she scared Ivan, that really wasn't good. The lady nodded and pulled out the knife that had been hidden in her stocking. Everyone gasped and scrambled backwards.
"You 'children' are all here because of something you all have in common." She was speaking to everyone but Antonio and Francis. When everyone stared at her with an expression that roughly translated to 'I have no idea what you're talking about you're insane.' she continued;
"You're all not exactly human are you?"
And with that both the people up front locked the doors and stalked towards the children.
Just to make it clear the scary lady is Belarus. Hope this was worth the wait! Bye guys!
