*Hey guys! This is my first fanfiction for the Hetalia fandom, *Bites Nails* so I hope you like it!

Human Names: Matthew = Canada, Arthur = England, Lovino = Romano/S. Italy, Gilbert = Prussia, Francis = France (Duh), Antonio = Spain.

Disclaimer: Is there any PruCan in the anime yet? No? Then I sure as heck don't own it. *

Arthur Kirkland and Lovino Vargas approached Matthew with terrifying looks on their faces. They were mad, by the looks of it, and Matt felt his heart drop at the fact that his new friends had mistook him for Alfred again. "Guys, it's Matthew," he said quietly.

The two boys stopped to look at each other, and burst out laughing. Arthur patted the Canadian on the back, shaking his head. "We know, Matthew. Did you really think we forgot about you?"

Matthew mumbled quietly, "It wouldn't be the first time…"

Arthur's eyes softened. "Right. Sorry about that. It won't happen anymore, though, now that you're part of our trio!"

"I, erm, what?" The blonde was confused, because the only trio he knew of was the infamous bad touch trio. Gilbert's trio. His boyfriend, Gilbert's, trio. And he was most definitely not part of it. He was just the boyfriend. In fact, as he thought about it, anger started to rise in him. He was always treated like carry-on when with the trio. Sure, Gilbert was sweet and caring and almost as awesome as he claimed to be, but when with his trio… He was a jerk.

"Oi! Earth to Matthew!" The said boy snapped out of his thoughts, blinking at the blonde in front of him. Arthur rolled his eyes. "I was saying that Vargas and I have had enough of being treated like dirt by the trio, so we're starting our own and giving the wankers a taste of their own medicine."

"But… We're dating them. Don't boyfriends support each other and all that?" And it was true. All of them were dating members of the bad touch trio; in fact, it's what had brought them together in the first place. Arthur had been dating Francis for two whole years now, Lovino had been dating Antonio for six months, and Matthew had been dating Gilbert for three months.

Lovino burst out laughing. "Have you met our boyfriends? The stalker, pervert, and narcissist? They're total bastards." Arthur nodded in agreement, laughing.

Matthew looked at the two quizzically, wondering how you could insult someone you liked so much. "Why are you dating them, then?"

The blonde and brunette immediately stopped laughing, shifting uncomfortably. "Um, well," Arthur stuttered, scratching his head. "Francis is… Francis. I mean, he just, I- He's awful and perverted and a bloody idiot but he- He's…"

Matthew leaned against the locker, laughing silently. It wasn't often he got to make someone else stutter.

Lovino simply stared at the ground, arms crossed. "The freak won't a-leave me alone. I don't have a choice."

Arthur nodded fervently. "Right. Francis just… forces me into it. And, I guess, he's somewhat charming-" Lovino and Matthew both stared at Arthur, surprised by the statement. The said Brit blushed bright red. "I- I mean- Oh for God's sake, why do you like Gilbert, then, Matthew? You're not any better than the rest of us, falling for the most egotistical human being on earth."

Now it was Matthew's turn to stutter. "W-well… He's actually really sweet when he's by himself… He just… has a low self-esteem so he needs a lot of reassurance."

The others looked at him skeptically. "Low self-esteem? Gilbert? You've got to be freaking kidding me, Matthew," Lovino said with a laugh. "Admit it, it's just because he's hot."

Matthew turned a deep shade of crimson. "It's not just because of that!"

Arthur turned to Lovino, a smirk forming on his face. "I'm definitely telling Gilbert you called him hot. And anyways, you're one to talk!"

"What do you mean?" The Italian said, crossing his arms.

"You're only dating Antonio because he's hot, right? I mean, you've despised him since childhood."

The Italian clenched his fist. "No! I am not! Just because- I mean, I'm not saying he isn't… but that's not the only reason I'm dating him."

Arthur raised his large eyebrows. "Oh? Do tell."

"Well… I-" The Italian suddenly realized what he was about to say and scowled. "I'm not telling you, bastard! But I'm not dating Antonio just because he's hot, dammit."

Matthew saw his chance and stepped between the two. "Just like I'm not dating Gil only because he's attractive. We all have our reasons, and we can keep them to ourselves. Now, Arthur, what about this trio?"

Arthur momentarily forgot about teasing the Italian and smiled at Matthew. "Well, none of us like hanging out with the 'Bad Touch Trio', correct?" Both Matt and Lovino nodded, thinking back on all the times they were teased and forgotten about. "So, I figured we should form our own trio to keep us occupied when the others hang out."

Matthew tilted his head, considering. That could be… fun. Unlike his brother, he didn't mind Arthur all that much, the Brit was funny is his own way and really clever. Lovino… was certainly interesting, but not all that bad once he opened up to you. "That's a really good idea," Matthew finally said.

Arthur brightened. "That's what we thought! So, where and when should we meet?"

*Whoop! So that was my preview! Did you like it? Also, this FF is actually going to be in drabble format, so there will be time skips and one shots galore! This was the beginning of the Badly Treated Trio, obviously, but the next fic won't be about their first meeting... (Suspense!) ... Please review with suggestions/ scenes you want done (Ex: How Gil and Mattie got together, Arthur/Francis's first kiss, Lovino and Antonio's first meeting, etc.,etc.) *
