Chapter 4: Breakfast and ARU!?

3rd POV

After twelve or so minutes, Francis had finished making the crepes that Alice had requested. As Francis finished the last one, he had asked Antonio to set the table for him while he went to wake Alice. "Alright, make sure to wake the chica (girl) up gently. We don't know how she will react, for all we know she might be like a demon when she is woken the wrong way." Antonio said with his smile. Francis had always liked it when he smiled, he was able to do that when he had killed many people in his pirate days, and when he was at war with someone. Francis remembered when Antonio was a sadistic man, fighting with a sick smile on his face as he cut enemy after enemy down with his ax. Then Antonio had gotten Lovino from Roderich, and he changed for the better. Antoni became a man who cared for others, he became a nicer person. Francis was grateful to lovino, but he would never admit that to him, he was too prideful of a person. Which was usually what caused the fights between Arthur and him. Their prideful personalities would usually clash when they are in a room together, or at least if they were in close range of one another. Francis shook these thoughts from his mind, he had to wake Alice up before the food became cold.

He soon went up the stairs and went to her room making sure not to pass by it. Francis knocked softly and waited outside the room. After some time he said that he was coming in, and all the while slowly opening the door just in case she didn't want him to come in. As Francis walked in the room he began to notice that the lights were off though there was Christmas lights strung around the room in series patterns and shapes. He also noticed that Alice's laptop was running as he saw the Youtube page playing a video of some song. Francis slowly went up to her bed and looked for her head amongst the large blanket wrapped around her person. He soon around her face that was surrounded by the blanket, she held a peaceful look on her face as she slept. For some reason but Francis couldn't help but think of that, in her state of hers, that she looked like a child. Which only increased his need to protect her, like an older sibling would do for a younger one. Francis knew that they were almost the same age, but he couldn't help but feel like he should protect her.

Francis knew he had to wake her up so that she could eat. But she looked so cute sleeping like that, with just her face covered. He remembered when Mathieu would do that as a child, he regretted giving him up to Arthur every day after it had happened. But he couldn't change the past, he couldn't change the fact that he had given him up. Francis shook his head 'Why am I thinking so much of the past?' even Francis didn't have an answer so his own question. Francis pushed all of his thoughts to the back of his mind, and gently raised his hand to shake Alice awake from her sleep. It took a few tries but she finally started to wake up albeit with the groaning of "not wanting to go to school" though he had no idea why she would say that when she was quite a few years out of school. After a few more time of shaking her and the saying of "get up", she finally sat up and yawned much like a small kitten. 'She only fuels the thoughts of her being a younger sibling to me' he couldn't help but think. Alice finally started to fully wake up and was rubbing her eyes while still yawning occasionally " So *yawn* is the food done?" she questioned. "I wouldn't be here waking you up if it wasn't," he said gently " Come on before the food becomes cold" as Francis said this he took the blanket off of her and waited for her to get off of her bed. Alice stayed sitting and only opened her arms in a childish fashion and pouted "only if you carry me to the food".

After she said that Francis froze and could only blink owlishly at the girl. It was some time before he unfroze but when he did, he complied with her wish. Francis gently picked her up, slipping his arm under her knees and used his other arm to keep her from falling back successfully lifting her up bridal style. Francis then started down the stairs to the table where he had left the food and Antonio. Francis couldn't help but feel nostalgic carrying Alice, the feeling of carrying someone reminded him of a time when he carried his little Matthew around. Francis shook his head lightly, 'Matthew wasn't little anymore he had grown up into his own person' he thought to himself.

Before Francis realized it, they were at the table. After snapping out of his thoughts for the fourth or so time today. Francis gently set Alice in her chair and had passed her plate to her along with the syrup. Alice was smiling with a large grin at just the mere thought of finally getting to eat the food she had only read about online. Alice quickly cut the food, and poured the syrup and was just about to take a bite when she heard a knock on her door. Groaning at the disturbance, Alice got up from her seat and went to answer the door. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see Sam...with another box with him. "Sorry about this, I didn't notice this one until later because someone had put it in the back of the truck," Sam said jabbing a thumb at his truck. Looking at the truck for the first time, Alice noticed a large mint green bunny with wings the same color on the side of said truck. Alice just sighed at his words and gave him a smile "It's alright, everyone makes mistakes it's not your fault. Can you bring it in?". "Sure thing, same room as last time?" Sam asked, Alice nodded at his question and went into the dining room where Francis and Antonio were to inform them of the new person joining them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the new unit had been brought in. Alice had decided to eat before opening the box as she was not prepared to throw the food away when it got to the gross point of when the pancake had sucked up all the syrup making it into a paste like substance. After breakfast was cleaned up, the three of them stood in front of the new box wondering who was inside. Alice having got sick of waiting, stood on her tiptoes to reach the manual on top. Alice prayed just before reading the name 'Please, please, PLEASE don't let it be Prussia! For the love of all things sweet and cute in this universe, don't let it be him! Anyone but him, heck I'll take Russia and Sweden before him'. Alice soon read the name at the top of the manual that was printed in large, bold letters.

" MOTHER GOD, THANK YOU!"

Authors note: Sorry if it feels like Antonio is just...like...poof at times. It's only the first day they're there...I'm hoping I don't do that too much in this story, because I don't want to do that to him.

Also sorry about putting so many like little flashback things, and having Francis like everywhere so far…. BYE
