After they finished their ice cream, they started walking back to the Park on Wy. Matthew looked over at Gil and giggled. The Prussian looked at the taller boy. "What?" Matthew smiled. "You have ice cream on your nose." Gil rubbed it off and smiled. "Better?" Matthew nodded. Prussia looked up at the clear sky and smiled before looking back at Matthew. "So Mattie, what's your family like? Ya know, other than Alfred?" It was like a dementor had appeared. A frown had appeared on Mattie's face and his eyes had clouded over. Gil started getting worried. "Um, you don't have to say if you don't want to..." He said, looking up. He heard a small noise from Matthew. "Hey, let's go to that awesome hill, okay?" He asked, pulling Matthew. The blonde boy nodded and let Gil pull him up the hill. When they broke through the thick brush and stood on the top of the hill. Gil looked over at Matthew to see a lone tear slide down his face, followed by many others. The blonde hugged Gil tightly, lightly sobbing. "They... don't even r-remember who I am..." Gil hugged back and brought him over to the big tree, leaning him against the heart. They sat there for a while, the Canadian crying while the Prussian comforted him with a German lullaby. (Cuz awww)
After some time, Matthew's sobs died down. "Are you okay?" Gil asked. "Y-yeah..." Matthew stuttered, sniffling. He looked up, purple meeting red. "U-um, Gil? You can let go now." The albino moved his arms. Matthew leaned up against the tree. Gil leaned back and witnessed a leaf falling from the tree. "They don't remember who I am." Gil looked over to see Mattie with his eyes closed, his head facing up. "Well, at least my parents. Al still remembers though." He pulled off his glasses. "You're the first person to remember me after five minutes other than him." The Prussian frowned. "Tha-" "Al's gonna get us an apartment soon. Somewhere nearby. We dunno where though." Gil smiled. "I have a brother." He commented. "His name's Ludwig." Matthew smiled. "Ludwig?" "Yup, Ludwig. Our dad's German, ya see. Straight from Germany, so he named us Ludwig, and Gilbert." Matthew smiled. "Your name is Gilbert?" Gil grinned. "Yup. Gilbert Beilschmidt. Born in Germany; technically Prussia; raised in America." Matthew giggled. "I have people call me Gil, and I cover my accent pretty well, so a lot of people actually think I'm American." Matthew smirked. "I'm calling you Gilbert from now on." Gil gasped. "Nooo! You can't!" The blonde giggled. "Yes I can." The Prussian frowned. Suddenly a bird landed on Matthew's head. "Gilbird? Was machst du hier?" Gilbert exclaimed in German. Mattie looked up and noticed a small bird, it's color very similar to his own hair. Gilbert grinned. "Kommen hierher, mein kleiner Freund!" The bird flew to Gil's shoulder like a pirate's parrot. "Piyo~!" The tiny animal tweeted. Matthew giggled. "I can't understand what you're saying!" Gilbert looked at Mattie, then back to Gilbird, then Mattie, then Gilbird again. (Look at your man, now back to me XD) "You're hair matches my bird." Matthew frowned in confusion. "I'm calling you birdie from now on.". Gilbert announced, smiling. "Okay?" Matthew was just a bit confused. Gilbert laughed. "Kesesesese! Magst du meine Birdie Freund?" He asked Gilbird. The bird nodded and flew onto Matthew's glasses. "Piyo~!". Mattie looked the bird in the eye. "Parlez-vous français?" The bird tweeted in what seemed like affirmation. "Tu es mignon!" The albino laughed. "You speak French?" The Canadian giggled. "I'm Canadian, what'd you expect?" They laughed for awhile and played with Gilbird until the sky slowly turned pink. "The sun's going down, we should leave." Gilbert frowned as he spoke. They parted ways soon after. When Gilbert arrived home, Ludwig was laying on the couch. The blonde German watched his brother walk to the fridge, the albino grinning like he had found a puppy. "Gilbert? Geht es dir gut?" Ludwig asked. He could practically see the hearts in his brother's eyes. "Sie sehen aus wie jene Leute in der Liebe-Filme." Gilbert only smiled and softly replied "Alles, was ich sehen kann ist lila~." 'All I can see is purple~.'
