Chapter 4 When Things Go Wrong
(A/N: So I know I haven't updated in a while and for that I am so so sorry. Truth be told I almost forgot about it. You can thank Hufflepuffcanadian for bothering me enough I remembered it was actually a thing. But I'm sorry this chapter is short especially after the long wait. I'll try to update it more often. Anyways so sorry for my absence and as always enjoy loves~)
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
School was a pain in the ass. First they had to walk (the school was on the other side of the forest), second it was a hassle with the new students and finally the normal (human) students were so stuck up that even Francis punched one and broke his nose. Matthew couldn't help but think that Alfred would have laughed. That thought made him depressed and was tempted to cut again if it wasn't for the fact that Gilbert had shown up and distracted him. Now lunch had come around and most of the two groups sat on the large roof of the building (Gilbert, Mathias, Francis, Arthur, Matthew, Lukas, Lovino, Berwald and Emil to be exact). Gilbert was sitting beside Matthew and Mathias the latter making kissy faces and nudging Gilbert ever few seconds, Matthew pretending not to notice. Apparently Lukas was the opposite of Matthew though as he got up from where he was sitting with his family and Berwald as sat in the empty space beside Mattias and elbowed him in the gut. Mathias, after doubling over and coughing, found some excuse to wrap his arms around the Norwegian which almost got him a punch to the face and a death glare from Emil.
Nothing special was happening today, other than the buzz of the new students. Matthew estimated that Gilbert had been hit on at least twenty two times, not that the blond was counting really it was just something he had noticed. Lovino was in his usual bad mood but it was easily ignored by the rest of the group, that is until Lovino found himself on the floor. Everyone turned to look at the cursing Italian, most paling at the sight of the figure standing overhead.
"So freak you ready to get what's comin to ya?" A mans voice spat.
"Why don't you just fuck off Jake? What the fuck is so wrong with you that you have to be such a motherfucking dick? I bet your daddy didn't love you enough huh? I that it you mother fucking prick!" Lovino spat right back.
The man, no teens face darkened. He was around six foot with thick muscles one could only get from years of hard core physical training and performance enhancement drugs. He looked like he could snap Lovino's neck just by flicking it.
"What did you say you little brat? You don't know shit! I'm gonna kill you!" He yelled before grabbing the chair the eldest Italian had been occupying a moment earlier and bringing it down where his head was supposed to be.
The marble floor cracked and the chair, or what used to be a chair and was now just a pile of twisted metal, was tossed carelessly aside. The new members of the group watched in horror and amazement as Jake went after Lovino again and again, each time just missing him. The two groups were the only ones around, and thankfully because eventually (as all bad things must happen to the Brits) Arthur was bumped into and spilt his tea all over his book of Shakespeare. Two thing you never want to mess with of Arthur's if you want to live. The Brits emerald green eyes blazed in fury and a stream of curses flew from his mouth. Everyone who knew better backed away, everyone who didn't soon learned why. Green flames shot around the room turning Francis into a frog and sending Berwald flying across the room. Jake turned around just in time to have a face full of sulfuric flames flung in his face leaving it black and his long hair blown straight black. Jake let out a puff of black smoke only to be hit in the back of the head by another blast. The fire, which never actually burned anything, swirled around the bewildered giant of a teen and pulled a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't.
In a flash the fire and Jake had vanished into thin air. Just in time for Li and Roma to walk into the room.
"Well I hope everyone is settling in okay on their first day?" Roma said smiling at family and his new neighbours.
The new students looked around at each other, wondering if they should say anything yet fearing for their existence.
"It's been very interesting so far." Mathias said with a wink.
"Good good! Well I'll be in the art office until the bell rings at the end of the day! If you need anything just swing by! Don't be shy now~" With that the Italian grandfather left the roof in a swirl of a red cape and old roman armor.
"I don't know what's awesomer Roma roman around in a old Roman outfit or Arthur with his freaky magic." Gilbert called at his own lay on words as a select few face palmed.
A croaking sound was heard and everyone turned their attention to the frog sitting in a pile of Francis's clothes.
"Well that's just bloody ironic." Arthur laughed.
Through everything no one noticed Lovino sneak off. No one but Matthew of course.
~0~
After school (and much persuasion from everyone for Arthur to turn Francis back into a human) the two groups were back at their own houses. Not for long of course.
"Hey Matt it's the awesome me wanna come over to my awesome house? After all you need help with the math homework."
"Sure Gil. Do you want me to bring anything to help you with the homework?" There was cackling laughter from the other end before there was a reply.
"Just your noted and your cute self~" Matthew could practically hear the wink in his voice making him blush many shades of red.
Over at the German's house Matthew found Emil laying on the couch finishing off a level of Far Cry 4 as Li watched in silent amazement. Matthew followed the albino's instructions and walked straight to the basement door to Gilbert's bedroom. The eldest German (sorry Prussian) brother was lounging on his bed with text books and papers sprawled all around him. A small part of the mans creamy white skin peaked out from under his shirt making the young Canadian blush even more. Great I had just about gotten rid of this stupid thing.
"Hey Matt I see your awesomeness has finally found my awesome room!" Gilbert said sitting up on the bed. "Soooo instead of doing homework why don't we watch a movie or something?" The Prussian boy asked hopefully.
"Non you asked me over here to help you with your math, in your own weirdly awesome way." The blond said moving some paper and setting up his own overly neat (*cough* colour coded *cough*) binder. "So what should we start with?"
As it ended up the two teens compromised. For every page Gilbert got right Matthew would do something with him. By now they had watched three episodes of Supernatural and where half way through Super Mario Sunshine.
"Alright Gil that's another page done. What would you like to do?" Matthew asked watching the albino with interest.
"I wanna see your awesomeness shift into an animal." Gilbert replied quieter than usual.
Matthew paused for a minute before looking at the clock. 11:00pm. They had been called for dinner four times before everyone gave up and let the two be alone. Some comments where made about them being 'too caught up in a moment of blind passion' and 'Matthew being more energetic and tougher than originally thought if he could take a pounding this long' could be heard from upstairs followed by either laughter or the sound of a certain blond being hit. Either way Matthew had to agree with one thing: they had spent a while down there.
"Alright but then I have to leave and you have to finish these last two English questions." Matthew said smiling as his friend fist pumped.
Matthew stood up, looking around to see if he could find a hidden preference of an animal before his eyes landed on the little yellow bird on the Prussians head. As soon as Matthew laid eyes on it he smiled and changed to match the 'Devil Fluff' as most called it. Gilbert's eyes lit up in amazement and joy at seeing his crush turn into the small ball of pale yellow fluff and he laughed as he watched Matt fly around in circles just like Gilbird would. Soon Matthew flew back and changed his form, clothed and all.
"Wow Matt that was-look out!" Gilbert yelled.
And Matthew's world went black.
