Pokerface: Usuk Hetalia Cardverse

Mum

Alfred was woken by one of his servants quite early. It was far earlier than usual. "Erm..." He was a young boy. "Do you need something?" The young servant boy tugged on his collar "You have guests... um... your... fiance's family..." Alfred practically died as he fell off his bed and stumbled to get into his clothes. The servant looking utterly horrified at whatever just happened. "I'll... just... leave now... bye..."

Arthur glanced up at Alfred's face, he looked calm, but by how tight he was gripping Arthur, it was obvious that he was nervous as shit. "Tell me..." Alfred spoke calmly. "Hm?" Alfred looked into Arthur's eyes "Tell me about your family..."

Arthur was sitting on Alfred's lap again as Alfred sat on his throne, those green eyes were wide with a slight shock, but he eventually nodded. "My mum... is a single parent. She's strong though... and beautiful. She's always bright somehow." "She sounds amazing..." Alfred was calming down slightly.

"I have three brothers... and one sister... all of which are younger than me. My little sister... well... she admires you actually... she used to talk about becoming queen one day..." He said with a smile. Alfred played with his hair "It's funny... you'll be fulfilling her dream for her, and maybe one day she'll get her chance..."

Arthur smiled and nodded before he felt everything melt away. He looked up and leaned into Alfred, closing his eyes. Their lips met just as the doors to the throne room burst open and a women shouted something along the lines of "My baby! I missed you so much!"

Alfred stood up so fast, Arthur fell off his lap with a grunt. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to get back up before the woman pulled him into a hug. "Awwwww! I'm so proud of you!" She said before letting him go.

She then turned to Alfred and smiled so wide at him he almost shit himself. "Uh... hello there miss Kir-" "You can call me mum!" She said as she hugged him. He didn't mind, but she still terrified him.

"Um... mom... I think you're breaking his spinal cord..." One of the older boys said, he had more of a country accent than a English one. "Yeah... I think I can hear it breaking..." The one standing next to him, who looked and sounded identical, said. "Right... pardon my behavior, your highness..." She said as she curtsied politely.

"It's fine..." Alfred said calmly with a smile. His eyes caught the eyes of Arthur's little sister, who looked no older than seven. She looked absolutely amazed at all of this, her eyes were wide, a few strands of her blonde hair didn't stay in her braids and ended up in her face.

He waved to the little girl who instantly ran up to him. "Do you really have it?" She asked excitedly. The other Kirklands seemed to glance at each other with a 'here we go again' look. "Yes... he does..." Arthur said as he walked over and grabbed Alfred's right hand.

Alfred, was honestly confused and terrified of Arthur's family at the same time. He had no say in anything as Arthur pulled his glove off and showed the little girl the spade marking on his hand. She suddenly seemed really excited and ran back to the younger brother, a tween who was completely silent.

"How did you know about my mark?" Alfred asked curiously. "I saw it when you were sleeping with me..." The two older of Arthur's brothers both coughed in unison "That escalated quickly..." Alfred pinched the bridge of his nose. "Well... um... do you need a place to stay while you wait for the wedding?"

"Yes that would be very helpful... thank you..." Their mother was finally calm. Alfred motioned to a servant who began leading them out of the room. The little girl stopped before exiting "Thank you for making my mother smile again..." She said to Alfred before running out to catch up with the others.

Alfred glanced at Arthur with wide eyes "Your family scares me..."
