Challenges of Living Together
Trouble Lurking
Prussia had to be quiet and extremely so. He had a secret mission of his own and he absolutely couldn’t get caught. This task of his required stealth, patience and quiet. Even though he wasn’t exactly qualified for some of the criteria, he had not much of a choice but man up and do it, since it rather concerned him very much.
His anniversary with Canada was creeping up and he was deadly curious to know what Matthew had gotten for him. He knew he ought to wait and be patient, but that never really was his thing and he figured if he kept on searching through the house while Matt was out, he would eventually find what it was. Then he could have his peak and hide the evidence, before his lover would return and roast his head for dinner. Or some other body parts he was rather fond of.
So far, he tried the closets, the bedroom, the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, and study to no avail. He hadn’t checked his side of their bedroom, but Gilbert had a good feeling about the spare guestroom.
The Prussian smirked to himself. This would be all too easy. He walked to the room and checked in every nook and cranny, every corner, under the bed, under the covers, in the drawers, until he opened the last one and saw a little colourful box half hidden behind a stack of papers. It looked as though it was thrown in there half hazardly, in a hurry. Jackpot, he thought to himself.
Gilbert moved the obstacles out of his way and took the box in his hands. It wasn’t too light or too heavy and he had no idea what it could possibly be. He started removing the lid when he heard Matthew cough from behind him. It startled him so much he nearly dropped the object in his hands.
“Matt, this isn’t what it looks like, I swear, I-” Gilbert thought for sure the younger man would be livid, or at least disappointed, but he didn’t expected Canada to shake his head and give him a sort of half smile.
“Just open it up, Gil. If you’ve gone through all this trouble to find it, you might as well get your reward, eh?” Prussia was surprised but he didn’t say a word and removed the top of the box. He nearly groaned when he saw the contents of the box.
“You may be awesome at many things, but lurking isn’t one of them. You’ll just have to wait like other people normally do.
Matt -xx-”
Gilbert looked at Matthew who, in turn, smiled innocently at him.
