10/1


Use these words: Plastic Bottle, Hockey puck, dirty handkerchief, crumpled note, unhinged door. Ok I lied about not using Fan fiction characters, this was unplanned but this is what came out when I started writing. The Characters are from the anime Axis Powers: Hetalia and this is not based in the same universe as the cannon.

Matthew sighed as he entered his dorm room, his duffle bag slung over his shoulder and his school bag by his side. Closing the door Matthew crossed the room and went to his side of the dorm that he shared with his twin brother. Setting his duffle bag heavily onto his made bed, Matthew sighed pushing his hair out of his face. Setting on the bed Matthew pulled his shoulder bag to his side and started going through it before realizing his duffle bag was to close to the edge. With the pressure of him sitting on the bed the duffle bag fell off hitting the ground with a heavy thud. A hockey puck rolling out of the side pocket, sighing Matthew fell back wondering if anything else could go wrong that day. A bang startled him out of his thoughts causing him to jackknife up.
“Yo Mattie you hear!” A loud voice called.
Matthew winced at the loud tone, and stood up resting his shoulder on the door frame of his bed room. In the living space of the dorm, he saw his brother Alfred moving around the room, dropping his bags and books as he went. Plopping on the sofa Alfred drained his water bottle and tossed the empty plastic bottle towards the trash. The bottle bounced off the wall and landed into the trashcan.
“Do you have to be so loud Al?” Matthew asked still leaning on the doorframe.
“I’m not loud, I’m just to awesome to be quite. Maybe you should be louder, people can’t hear you half the time.”
“Only because they are to deaf to hear me after talking with you.”
Alfred stuck his tongue out before turning to the TV, they had searching through the games under the small table between the sofa and TV stand.
“Don’t you have homework?” Matthew asked entering the room fully.
“Nope, finished it before practice.”
“With or without Arthur’s help?”
“I can do my homework without his help for your information.”
“Sure Al.” Matthew said before turning back to his room and grabbed his shoulder back.
Shouldering it Matthew walked through the living space towards the door.
“Where ya going Mat?” Alfred called from the floor in front of the game station.
“Someplace quit to study. Knowing you the volume will be all the way up.” Matthew said leaving the dorm before his brother could say anything else.
Walking through the dorm building Matthew left the building and went out onto the green lawn of the campus. The school was a high school or sorts but it was mostly used to get people from different countries together and form friendships all while learning together. Matthew and Alfred were from the United States, but Matthew preferred to be associated with their Mother’s country Canada. They found out about the school in their 9th grade year of school and they thought it was interesting, and would give them experience with other people from other countries. They were now in their final year of school. The architecture was a mix of regions in hopes to help the students and staffs feel at home. Walking across the green Matthew looked for a spot to sit in the shade, a few students were outside most either still in class or in an after school program.
“Alfred.” A voice said causing Matthew to stop.
Looking to the side Matthew saw Arthur walking towards him.
“Alfred I was wondering…”
“I’m Matthew Arthur.”
“What? Oops sorry Matthew.”
“It’s alright, Al’s at the dorm.”
“Thank you and I do apologize.”
“It’s alright, it’s not like it’s the first or last time someone mixes us up.”
“So where are you heading?”
“Just looking for someplace to study.” Matthew said shrugging.
“The grove was clear last I checked.” Arthur said before hearing his phone chirp.
Digging through his bag Arthur pulled his phone out dropping a muddy handkerchief. Arthur read his text message and looked at the ground frowning.
“Sorry about that.” Arthur said picking up the handkerchief.
Noticing Matthew’s puzzled look he explained.
“Francis dropped it into a puddle when we were arguing.” Arthur said holding the dirty handkerchief up. “Any way you should try the grove.”
“Thanks Arthur.”
Matthew said waving good-bye and headed for the grove of trees, that was popular with students. Walking through the trees Matthew found a low stonewall and sat on it before pulling his books out and leaning his back against a pillar at the end of the wall. Pulling a notebook out and a clip board Matthew started doing his assignments enjoying the quite scenery. Half an hour passed and Matthew was doodling in his notebook when he felt something hit him. Looking down Matthew saw a crumbled up piece of paper on the ground. Frowning Matthew leaned down and picked up the paper. Opening it, he realized it was a note assigned to him; frowning Matthew looked around but saw no one. Reading the crumbled note Matthew frowned at its words.
Matthew,
            Met me in the library in two hours.
                                                            G.B.
Confused Matthew sighed guessing who sent the note, slipping it into his pocket Matthew stood up and figured he might as well drop his stuff off at his dorm and get something to eat before he goes to the library.
~two hours later~
Matthew stopped at the library entrance looking around for the person he suspected gave him the note. Not seeing them, Matthew entered the library. Nodding to the librarian Matthew quickly made his way to the history section having an idea where to find the note giver. The history section was large and had any topic you could think about from history. Moving to the Germanic section Matthew noticed white, changing directions Matthew approached the table sitting in the chair across from the Whitenette. Sitting quietly for a few seconds Matthew tapped the book that the man was reading, the man jumped started but quickly grinned upon seeing Matthew.
“You came!”
“Of course, but couldn’t you just came to me and ask?”
“What fun would that be?”
“You are so strange sometimes Gilbert.”
“I’m awesome like that.” Gilbert said grinning.
“So is there a purpose to this meeting?”
“Not really I wanted company while I did research.”
“Since when do you want company? You may act like you are a people person but you don’t like being around people that’s why you annoy them.”
“Your different you are quite and don’t talk about useless things. Take today in class for example we were suppose to talk about the formation and movement of Germanic tribes but instead we got into story time when someone almost unhinged the door.”
“May I ask who almost unhinged the door?”
“Who do you think, your idiot of a younger brother. He forgot the door opened the opposite direction and bent the hinges when he ran into it.”
Matthew laughed “Well at least you know his training in foot ball is going great.”
“Who cares about foot ball, we are in class for a reason not to have story time. The only good thing that happened was when the teacher had Alfred fix the door.”
Matthew smiled and leaned back in his chair “So what are you reading?”
Gilbert quickly perked up and started talking about the different German tribes that were around Roman times his face lighting up and his motions animated. Matthew shifted comfortably in his chair and listened glad he came.
