Challenges of Living Together

Introduction

270

Not even a week after I finish "Olympic Fever", I'm back with another long PruxCan story and another one underway. You guys should grovel at my feet. Seriously.

My friend sent me this list of 100 challenges and as I read them, I decided I'd do a 100 chapter story with all the themes. Yes, I'm crazy.

Some chapters will be longer and others will be shorter. About 99 of them will center on Gilbert and Matthew and maybe one of them will center on Matthew and his children.

I will update these frequently but I will also work on other stories.

Disclaimer: I am mental. (HOW THE HELL CAN CANADA LOSE TO JAPAN IN HOCKEY AND ITALY IN CURLING!)

Challenges of Living Together

Introduction

"You probably already know who I am, but in case you didn't, and if that's the case, shame on you, I'm the awesome Prussia, but you can call me Gilbert though." Canada remembers well their first meeting. It was some years back, at a conference of some sorts, somewhere and he had been sitting alone, eating lunch, when Gilbert appeared out of thin air.

"I'm here to make an awesome request to you." The Prussian declared. He remembers feeling anxious as to what the other man would want of him. He had heard of Prussia's past and he wasn't sure he could handle it.

"You will make me pancakes every morning from here on now!" Matthew remembers giving him an incredulous look, before erupting into loud laughter. And here he thought it was something, much, much worse and frightening.

"Don't even think of denying my awesome request!" Even now he wouldn't have the heart of denying him that request, not that he had to ask, but Canada knew he couldn't say no to him. Not when Prussia looked so happy when he ate maple syrup with pancakes. (In Prussia's case, that's what it amounted to.)

"I'll take that as a compliment then." He recalls saying after a while. Gilbert gave him an odd look, before laughing himself. They spent the remainder of the lunch break together, talking and laughing, and somehow, they avoided awkward moments.

The following day, Matthew was sure Gilbert wouldn't have come, but much to his surprise, the pale haired man came barging into his house bright and early and demanded his pancakes or else he would invade his vital regions.

Canada firmly believes it was on that first morning that something in him knew this would be happening for many more years to come.

Eventually, after about three months or so of this arrangement, of Gilbert barging into his house in the morning for breakfast, Canada felt completely at ease around Prussia. They've gotten to know one another and when Matthew thinks back to his relationship, it all started with that introduction from back then. And all he can do is smile.
