Tear Stains ~Sequel to Red Eyes~

A Coat

Matthew wiped his eyes as he followed Yao and Arthur back into the meeting room.

It was just the three of them now. The allies.

Francis, Russia, and America. In one day.

He couldn't help but think how Ludwig felt seeing Kiku dissapear again. They had just gotten the Jap back.

He was probably terrified of losing Feliciano again.

Matthew sat down next to Matt, distracted by his own thoughts. He could feel tears rolling down his cheeks and into Kumajiro's fur.

"Uhh, hey, are you okay? What happened in there?" He heard his own voice asked, though slightly rougher.

They were allies now. He could tell him, right?

Matthew looking into his 2ps face.

"T-They took them. Again." His voice cracked.

Matt seemed alarmed by the change if mood from earlier.

"...Who did they take?"

Matthew cried even more, his cheeks heating in embarrassment.

"Francis, Alfred, Kiku and Ivan." He whispered shakily.

"Oh... Hey, don't cry. We'll, uh, find them soon. It'll all be okay. Just... Stop crying." Matt muttered, giving the 1p an awkward pat on the head.

Matthew smiled sadly at him. "Thank you."

Matt huffed and crossed his arms, looking away.

"No prob."

He watched Yao and Arthur cry together for a moment, hearing a soft.

"I knew fortune cookie was full of bad lie." From Yao before the two went silent.

(Auto-correct keeps changing 'Yao' to 'Yaoi' so I keep yelling "Not yet!" And it's like 2 in the morning.)

Oliver came in with Feliciano and Ludwig after a moment.

"Okay. This is getting worse." He muttered, taking his seat.

The table seemed so empty now.

Oliver sighed and began to explain everything that had gone on. From Mathias's story to the dissapearence of the four nations.

Matt's brows furrowed.

"Wait. Isn't that kind of odd. I know they are 2ps and all, but why are they targeting all the 1ps. Kuro seemed to only be taken for us to team up." He wondered.

Oliver nodded.

"Yes, it is quite strange. Why would they want us to team up? And Bernard kept mentioning a 'Boss'."

Lutz groaned, holding his head.

"I wish Luciano was here. He could make sense of this. Too bad, his Pride and guilt is getting in the way again."

Oliver nodded. "But to be honest it would probably be even worse. He did trick Feliks and almost murder Feliciano after all."

Toris stood quickly. "Wait, trick Feliks? What did you do exactly?!"

Oliver looked down.

"Magic induced drugs. We made Feliks see Leonas as you and... Did some quite awful things." And now he's going to die if my magic runs out of his veins.

Toris covered his mouth in horror and turned to Feliks, who looked just as surprise.

"Oh Feliks!" Toris sniffled and hugged his friend tightly.
