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.
