Chapter 21: Glace

"You're jealous." England said while he worked on some paperwork. America paused his video game and looked at the Brit.

"Jealous? Jealous of what? !" America protested. "Of Russia? ! I would never! I rather be dead!"

"Don't yell." England said calmly and looked up from his work. "And maybe not of Russia but you're jealous that Matthew is actually getting along with him."

"I am not!"

"Sabotage. Now why would you want to sabotage any friendship the two have huh?"

"B-Because."

"Because why?"

"Because I know- and you should know too!- that Russia could easily hurt Mattie!"

"He hasn't yet."

"That doesn't mean he wouldn't!" America said and turned back to his game. England signed.

"You have no right to get involved Alfred."

"Don't lecture me like I'm a child!" America snapped at him. "And I have every right, he's my little brother."

England stopped his paper work, now you're being more selfish then reasonable. "He is my brother too you know. And he may be your little brother but that doesn't mean you can just get into his life like that. He's his own person, it's his decision."

"You won't be saying that when you find him dead." America said.

"I know that's not the reason Alfred."

"Just shut up. I'm trying to play a game." America said with a tone. "Don't lecture me again England." He gave a glare to the Brit before going back to his video game. England got a depressing look.

"I wasn't." He said and went back to his look. "Don't use that tone with me again." Now, it was all tense.

Russia left the Canadian alone for the day, he got the hint the boy wanted some alone time. He spent the most of the day in his room, he didn't have anything to do though, he finished any country work he had to do. He decided to learn a bit about the Canadian's country instead. He grabbed the book he had purchased from that market and decided to read a bit. There was a lot he didn't know about the country, he ended up learning quite a bit. Russia was the biggest country in the world, Canada was the second, though he always saw the boy as short, he was probably taller then America. He found out more on Canada's climate, it wasn't snowy all year round like he first though, at least in some places. He read on the wars, which wasn't that many but every single one involved either England or France, or both, then once in 1812 against America.

He had to stop and reread the passage to make sure he was reading it right. America invaded Canada in 1812 to gain territory and Canada actually defeated America? He reread it a third and a forth time, he had sold the boy short, he would of never guessed that. Looks like you learn something knew everyday eh?

He saw how late Canada got full independence too, which he wondered about. There was a big section about the environment in there too, what a tree hugger, he thought. Theater was a big thing apparently, Canada himself must of liked it, one thing they actually had in common other then climate. Free healthcare and 99% of Canadians were fully educated, the boy was doing better then himself! And of course, there was an even bigger section on hockey, which was understandable. He looked at holidays and some food they had, there was a big paragraph on maple trees and syrup too, figures.

Russia finished the book and thought to remember one date in the back of his mind, July 1st, which would be the boy's birthday. If it got to the point where they were actually be friends, he could at least wish the boy a happy birthday, the date was close too. If he didn't screw it up, he could wait that long, and he didn't want to screw it up; he actually liked talking to that boy.
