Cancelled - Who Are You? (A Hetalia Fanfiction)

Chapter Six

Alfred and Matthew headed into their last hour of the day, History.

"Alfred! There you are!"

Alfred looked to where the voice came from.

"Gilbert! Hey dude!"

"Gilbert?" Matthew asked from behind Alfred.

"Oh, he's one of my best friends, come on and meet him!"

Alfred pulled Matthew to the back of the room to where Gilbert was sitting. They were in luck because there were two more empty desks next to him.

When Gilbert saw Matthew, his eyes widened, "Wait, there's two of you?"

"Haha no," Alfred laughed, "This is my friend Matthew, he's from Canada. Also, he's not my twin brother, or related at all."

"Oh, weird," Gilbert said before turning to Matthew, "Well hello Matthew, I am the awesome Gilbert! I am from the slightly-less-awesome-than-me-but-still-awesome country of Prussia!"

"Nice to meet you Gilbert," replied Matthew, "But Prussia? Isn't that not a country anymore?"

"He's actually from Germany," Alfred whispered to Matthew as Gilbert laughed.

"Kesesesese! That's what everybody says,"Gilbert said.

"But it's true," Matthew retorted, but was elbowed by Alfred. Alfred shook his head slightly, signaling Matthew to stop.

"So how was your day Gil?" Alfred asked.

Gilbert huffed, "It was lame and boring. School sucks! And I had to no one to sit with at lunch besides Roderich and Elizaveta."

Alfred felt a pang of sympathy. Gilbert had had a crush on Elizaveta for years, but before he could confess to her she had started going out with Roderich.

"That sucks bro."

"I know right?"

"You two in the back! Please have a seat!"

Alfred and Matthew jumped at the sound of the teacher's voice, and then they both took a seat.

"Didn't you hear the bell ring?" the teacher scolded.

"No ma'am, sorry," Matthew said as Alfred just shook his head.

The teacher talked some more, and eventually they had time left so the teacher allowed them to talk quietly.

Matthew sat there silently as Alfred and Gilbert engaged in a conversation. Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to the kid sitting on the other side of them.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Oh, I was just wondering, if I may ask," the other teen said, bowing his head slightly, "About why you look so much like Alfred? I mean you look like him but I couldn't help but overhear him saying you aren't related to him."

Matthew shrugged, "I have no idea. It's a bit strange though eh?"

"I guess it is strange but I dunno. Oh, I'm Ivan by the way," said Ivan.

"Matthew," Matthew replied. Ivan nodded before turning around and sitting quietly.

Matthew sighed a little to himself and did the same. He started listening to Alfred and Gilbert's conversation.

"No dude, Captain America is obviously the best Avenger!"

"Please, he's nothing compared to Hulk! He's like super-awesomely strong!"

Matthew decided to tune out their argument again and stared at his desk. He felt another tap.

"Are you alright?" Alfred asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Matthew answered.

"You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure," Matthew said, "Why are you so worried?"

Alfred shrugged.

"You know, you two really look and act like brothers," Gilbert commented.

"We're not though," Alfred said.

"Ja, ja I know," Gilbert said, "But wouldn't it be awesome if you were but you didn't know it? Like The Parent Trap!"

Matthew raised an eyebrow, "The Parent Trap?"

"Ja, it's a movie," Gilbert explained, "Haven't watched them in a while, but it's basically about these twins whose parents broke up and separated them when they were little. So they didn't know each other. And then the twins met and found out they were twins!"

"That sounds interesting, but I highly doubt that's the case with me and Alfred," Matthew said.

"Yeah I don't think so," added Alfred, "If that were the case, then our parents would've had to be together right? But my dad said that he hasn't been with anyone ever. Well, I guess since my mom but I've never even heard him speak of her, whoever she is."

(A/N: Poor Alfred doesn't know he's adopted yet.)

The group was silent for a moment.

Suddenly the bell rang and everyone started to file out of the classroom to go home.

"See ya tomorrow dudes!" Alfred called out as he ran off.

...

First of all, hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Or if you don't celebrate that, then Happy Holidays or whatever.

Yes this was a filler chapter because I wanted to stall time before I have to write about Alfred and Matthew going home to see Arthur and Francis because I really don't know what to do then.

And yes I did mention the Parent Trap movie(s?) because it was brought to my attention that this fanfiction was similar. However this was just a coincidence because I've never watched the movie or anything so...

Anyway, just going to mention that it may be a while before the next chapter.
