America – You'll be In My Heart

Canada - Parce que tu vis dans mon coeur

A young blond sat outside, staring up at the stars in wonder. He hugged his stuffed bear close to him as he just sat there, smiling.

It had been a long day for Matthew. He was visiting Alfred to stay overnight. He had been a little lonely lately, so he thought America could cheer him up. And that, he did. The played games all day and talked about what's been going on. They even had some fun stalking Britain around until they were caught. Then it was a game of Don't Get Caught by Britain.

The two had a blast. It was as if they were kids again.

Now, because the brunette wanted to show how much of a hero he was, they were going to camp outside for the night in sleeping bags. Canada didn't oppose the idea. He was quite used to the outdoors, anyway.

Something about the night, however, fascinated him. It was just so… So wondrous and magical. It was as if the stars were magical dust caught in a blanket of dreams and wishes. When ever he saw a shooting star, the male thought someone's wish came true that night.

"I'm back!" His voice called from behind Matt. It was Alfred, returning with firewood. "Sorry it took me so long. Hope you missed me." He laughed a little as he sat on the ground, arranging the sticks into a little tepee. "Wanna help me start this blaze?"

Canada smiled and nodded, carefully setting his bear on his bag. He kneeled before the pile and glanced around for some rocks. He found two good looking ones and scraped them together a few times to create a spark, lighting a small fire that quickly grew.

"Nature boy," Al teased lightly.

"Hero guy," the blond retorted playfully.

Soon, they had a warm flame burning before them. They moved their sleeping bags closer to the fire. It was pretty cool that night. They warmed themselves up and had a snack of a few roasted marshmallows.
After a while, Canada looked back up to the stars, watching the sky again. America did the same, wondering what he was looking at. But now that he looked, he couldn't seem to look away. He never noticed how pretty the sky looked at night, but pretty seemed like too much of an understatement to him.

Suddenly, a star flew past them, only appearing for a few seconds.

"Dude! A shooting star! Make a wish!" The brunette squeezed his eyes tightly as he seemed to wish with all his might.

Matthew laughed softly and closed his eyes as well. He thought for a moment, wondering whose wish came true, then came up with a wish of his own.

I wish Alfred and I could hang out like this more often…

Just as he finished his wish, a freezing wind blew by, blowing out the fire. All that was left were bits of burnt twigs and ashes now.

"That wasn't nice," Alfred mumbled, pulling his sleeping bag tighter around him.

Unfortunately, the blond's bag wasn't as thick, leaving him shivering a little. "C-Came out of nowhere." It was as if that one breeze froze him to the bone.

His friend noticed this and moved closer to him, wrapping an arm and some of his sleeping bag around his shoulder. "Freak winds blowing around here… Kinda weird. By the way, what did you wish for?"

Matthew was surprised at this act of kindness, but not exactly offended. He hesitated a moment, still taking in the act, then answered his question. "I just wished for us to hang out more like this, but now that I told you…" He paused a moment, remembering the superstition. "I guess it won't come true." He frowned and looked away. He had so much fun today, and it was probably the last one he would ever have.

Al chuckled softly and nuzzled Canada's hair. "Silly Canadian. Just because you told your wish, doesn't mean it won't come true. For example, I wished that you would be mine…"

Matthew froze. America… America wanted him? The blond never knew. Never, ever, ever had he expected the American to want him.

Just before he could reply, however, he felt the brunette kiss the corner of his lips ever so lightly. Just that one kiss made Matt's head spin. His cheeks burned with fire, flashing all sorts of reds and pinks. He looked up at America in confusion, wonder, surprise… It was almost as if he was looking up at the night sky again. For once, he saw a twinkle in his eye, just like the magic above them. And those blue rings… Those blue rings were like the blanket of dreams and wishes.

"So," he whispered, smiling softly at the blond, "will you be mine?"

Matthew couldn't look away from the night sky caught in Alfred's eyes, but there was only one answer that came to mind.

"Parce que tu visdans moncœur." With that, he carefully pushed their lips together, meeting for the first time. It was absolutely… Dreamy.

Above their heads, two stars flew across the night sky, lighting up the darkness for the mere seconds they were seen.

Woot! First one is one of my favorite pairings, AmeriCanada! At least, that's what I call it x3
