Sat down and wrote this part in one go. I'm actually happy with it. _______________________________________
The three states state on Matthew’s couch, while the nation sat in an armchair, his gaze back on the carpet. He had just finished telling them what he had heard and seen, as his eyes burned with tears.
“I’m s-sorry… I should h-have tried harder to stop h-him… B-But I never thought… Never thought they w-would…”
Alaska frowned and stood from the couch, going to pull his neighbor into a tight embrace, holding Matthew to him as the blonde sobbed.
On the couch, Delaware placed a hand over her mouth as though she were about to be sick. California rubbed his sister’s back soothingly, though his eyes burned with hatred. Running a hand through his hair, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down so he wouldn’t fly off the handle right then and there. He didn’t want to damage Matthew’s house.
“Matthew, I need you to tell me who was there again. This is very important.” The look on California’s face as he spoke would have sent chills down anyone’s spine, but Matthew knew it wasn’t meant for him. If California’s anger had been directed at him… He probably wouldn’t be breathing anymore.
Wiping his eyes, Matthew pulled out of the hug, giving Alaska a shaky smile to show that he was fine for now. “W-Well, Ivan was there, Feliciano and his brother… Gilbert a-and Ludwig… Kiku and Yao w-were there t-too a-and… a-and… F-Francis and Arthur…” As he spoke the last two names, the three states froze.
They had an identical look of horror on their faces and after a few seconds of silence, Delaware jumped up and ran down the hall. Sounds of retching could be heard from the bathroom shortly after she vanished.
“Thank you, Matthew. We’ll be taking our leave now. Watch over dad for us. You’re the only one we can trust with him.” California stood and went to retrieve his older sister, while Alaska stood there, tall and silent, his face blank. But his eyes burned with the same hatred California had.
Matthew had a bad feeling that this might get out of hand but he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop fifty angry states. And he had to stay here, to nurse his brother back to health. His poor brother…
California returned, carrying Delaware, who clutched the front of his shirt and sobbed. He nodded to Matthew and headed out of the door, Alaska not far behind. The tallest state stopped and glanced back at Matthew.
“Everything is under control,” he said softly, before following his siblings.
When the states had left, Matthew went to lock his front door. His body was shaking and he wasn’t sure if it was from his earlier tears or the frightening look on California’s face. Sighing, he went into his bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. Kumajirou was curled up on the end of the bed, keeping watch over his master’s brother, making sure that Matthew was the only one who approached. Matthew lay down beside Alfred, reaching out a hand and running it through his brother’s hair.
“My brother… They’ll pay for what they’ve done to you.” ____________________________
Not sure if I'll add some CanUS, or keep it brotherly. OP's choice!

OP nearly fainted from awesomeness-overload. 'Twas that good. I wonder who's going after who...
I would prefer brotherly!CanUS. The pairing's never been one of my favs, and given the situation, any US-romance would make me cringe. Sorry if you or anyone else wanted CanUS :(
Now I'm off to balance this awesomeness by filling some requests! :D

Alright. I was thinking brotherly!CanUS as well, but I wanted to leave it up to you. (I agree with the cringing part...)
