Matthew pov
It was around mid-afternoon when I woke up with a weird feeling, I sat up slowly and my shirt seemed to slip off my shoulders leaving me completely bare-chested, I lifted up my shirt and noticed that the bed also looked a bit bigger than before which really confused me. I lifted the sheets and absentmindedly fell out the bed with a hard thud. "Oww.." I whined with tears at the corners of my eyes.

I stood up slowly and took a quick glance at the mirror that rested against the wall near the restroom door where I heard shuffling and the sound of the shower going off. My eyes went wide and I let out a shout before running away from the mirror and grabbing kumayoshi hugging him tightly to my small chest with my now tiny and short arms.

I was somehow five years old now from the looks of it, maybe it's just a dream I thought to myself, I pinched my arm and squeezed my eyes shut in an attempt to make sure I was dreaming. I opened my eyes and saw that nothing changed, I was still small. "Kumacheerio do you know what happened?" I asked as I turned him around to face him.

He looked up at me. "Who are you?" he asked with that cute little voice of his, I groaned and dropped my head on the palms of my hands. "You are so lucky you're cute.." I muttered with a giggle as I pet his head softly. The restroom door opened with a fog of hot steam escaping the room, Alfred appeared with a towel wrapped around his waist he sighed and ran a hand through his wet hair.

"Mattie bro where are you?" he shouted while looking around the room, with a sigh of defeat I crawled away from my hiding spot behind the bed and stood right in front of Alfred with a bright blush on my face. "I'm h-here.." I stuttered quietly.

"What the hell!?" Alfred yelled and backed away from me. "Alfred calm down can't we just go to the meeting and ask Arthur for help?" I asked with a high pitched voice. "Dude this is totally creepy!" he slowly moved closer to me and pinched my cheek while he chuckled to himself. "Hey quit it! This is no time to be playing around, now please put on some clothes." I demanded as I pulled his hand away.

He pouted jokingly and went back to the restroom for a change of clothes, minutes later he came back with a red T-shirt, his brown bomber jacket, blue jeans, and red sneakers. "Uh, dude I think that sweater is way too big on you. Actually, I think the clothes your wearing are way too big now." I blushed brightly and hugged the oversized sweater close to me. "I'm staying with the sweater!" I stated and stuck out my tongue at him.

Alfred laughed. "Okay bro, then if your ready let's get going." He grabbed his glasses, or should I say Texas, and placed them on the bridge of his nose. I looked down at my bare feet and blushed once again. "U-um Alfred..." His gaze was fixated on me instantly. "Yeah, bro?" I played with my thumbs before answering slowly. "C-can you carry me.." I shut my eyes in regret.

There was a moment of silence before he answered: "Okay sure Mattie." I felt a pair of hands go under my arms and was lifted from the ground, I was pressed against Alfred's chest with his arms wrapped securely around me. He soon walked downstairs and headed outside where a sudden gush of ice cold wind hit us causing me to shiver as soon as my skin interacted with the small ice droplets of water that fell in a light shower from the sky.

I was then shoved into Alfred's bomber jacket where it gave me a little warmth but blinded me completely, I could feel Alfred walking towards something I then heard a door open and Alfred shifted into a sitting position nearly crushing me.

"Oh sorry, bro!" Alfred exclaimed as he brought me out from his jacket and sat me on his lap. "Where exactly are we again? I sorta forgot." I asked feeling the car purr as it drove down a street that was unrecognizable to me. "We're in Washington baby!" he shouted with a happy grin. "So we're having the meeting here?"

I stared up at his now concentrated face. "Yup..since you were sick and all I convinced everyone to come here." His blue eyes never left from the road which left me in a daze until the car stopped and he switched his gaze to me. "Well umm let's go bro so Arthur can fix this." He brought me in his arms again before turning off the car and stuffing me in his jacket when he walked outside.

The crunch of dead leaves breaking under Alfred's feet was somewhat soothing to me it reminded me of my country in the fall. But my thoughts were soon interrupted when a sudden warm sensation warmed up my chilled skin, Alfred once again got me out of his jacket and carried me in his arms.

Two brown doors came into view and Alfred stopped and gave me a look of concern. "It's alright Alfred." I smiled softly with a slight nod of my head it's not like they'll see me anyways. Inside was like any normal meeting day there was the occasional yelling, trashing around, and most common fighting. "You smelly frog I don't know why I would ever love you!" Arthur's yell could be heard from across the room.

I turned my head to see my papa in tears and a fuming cross-armed Arthur who was now walking away from him. "Yo iggy! Come here for a sec." Alfred waved him over. Arthur raised an eyebrow and sighed in defeat before walking towards us with a scowl. "What am i- HOLY BLOODY MARY IS THAT CHILD YOURS!?" his green eyes widened. "What? No this is Mattie!" he explained quickly. "...who?"

Tears welled in my eyes as a pang hit my heart. "Look you made him cry now," Alfred complained and wiped away my tears, I slipped away from his grasp and ran past their legs as quickly as my short legs would take me. I looked around frantically and bumped into a pair of legs, I landed on my behind and groaned. "Oh! Hello there little one how did you get here?" a familiar voice rang in my ears.

I was suddenly lifted from the ground quickly. "You know...you look just like my little Matthieu." My papa smiled at me his eyes were red and puffy I opened my mouth to explain everything to him but various squeals interrupted me. "Aww look at the little bello!~" Feliciano cooed and giggled from behind papa. "Que lindo amigo is he yours?" Antonio slung an arm around my papa's shoulder with a grin.

Kiku and Yao were both having a fangirl moment as they pinched my cheeks. "Everyone calm down and please take your seats!" Ludwig outbursted suddenly while slamming his fists against the table, I cringed and covered my ears. "Back away from the Canadian!" Alfred shouted at everyone who was surrounding me and papa. "The what?" papa asked dumbfounded with a tilt of his head.

"That's Mattie also known as Canada, Francis ya know...your son," Alfred explained in a somewhat calm voice. "I knew something was familiar about him... Oh, Matthieu my dear boy!" papa said happily and hugged me tightly. "Oui papa..." I sniffled and hugged him back. "Why are you crying mon petit?" he asked suddenly. "Because Arthur made you cry and I'm always forgotten.." I wiped my eyes.

Now I really felt miserable I felt like the child I was, "don't worry lad I'll fix you up right now." Arthur came into sight with his wand in hand I cowered away and tightened my grip on my papa but before I knew it Arthur chanted a few words and everything in my world went black.
