It was well past midnight when Alfred finally pulled into the driveway and walked inside. Matthew looked over, sipping the cocoa he had made for himself while he waited.
"You were out late today. Date with Ivan?" Alfred nodded a bit slowly as he walked over.
"Yeah...We decided to go see a movie after dinner. Where's New York? He was supposed to be babysitting the kids." Matthew set his mug down, looking over.
"Oh, well. He wasn't sure when you'd be back, so I told him I'd stay and keep an eye on the kids. They were already in bed anyway, eh." Alfred nodded again.
"Right. Well then, next question. What...what are you doing here?" Matthew smiled and got up, walking over to him.
"Oh, well. I thought I should...apologize...for earlier. I could have found a more sensitive way to tell you that you obviously aren't in love with Ivan." Alfred frowned a bit. Did he really have to spell it out for him? He reached over, taking hold of his hands. "You know, you didn't have to be afraid to tell me. Why go through the trouble of getting

The silence in the basement was punctuated with the occasional sniffles of New Mexico and Hawaii, who were still tied in their chairs. Every now and again, the whispered superhero noises Alaska was making with his toys would get louder, echoing through the room. Arizona still clung to Alfred’s shirt, refusing to leave the comparative safety of his father’s lap. Given the scene, Alfred wondered why Matthew had chosen Alaska, of all the states, to spare from his insanity. Alaska, who was Ivan’s son, and wasn’t his engagement to Ivan the start of this nightmare? The footsteps above them were heavy, echoing in the relative silence of the room. Something was being dragged across the floor. Alfred swallowed, willing himself not to think that it wasn’t something; it was someone. He distracted himself from the obvious activity upstairs

Matthew watched him interacting with his states, smiling fondly as the memories that it conjured filled his mind. It had been so long since they had a state together. A mistake, Alfred had said later, but he still loved and cherished their states all the same. Matthew knew, of course, that it wasn’t a mistake. It was just what Alfred had to say to appease the others. Soon, however, soon, they would be having another together. Perhaps more

The sky was getting darker with the sun having set for the evening, but Arizona kept running. He didn’t know where he was, but it wasn’t home. It was away from Uncle Mattie, and from a certain death. But it was also away from Daddy and his siblings. Someone else was going to die because of him. He knew it. But if he stayed there any longer, they would all die. He had tried to call for help as soon as they got upstairs, but to no avail. He kept moving. He had to get help.
As soon as they got upstairs, Alaska ran to the television, turning it on. Soon, Spongebob was echoing through the halls. Hawaii sniffled as she tugged on Arizona’s sleeve

OMG. You have NO idea how happy I am to see this full updated twice in such a short period of time!! I had resolved myself to believing it would forever be unfinished, but here it is! I'm ecstatic! :D I'm just an absolute sucker for this type of dark fic.
Aggh, creepy Matt is creepy. Hopefully Russia will suspect that something is DEEPLY wrong and will try to intervene...
recaptcha: "inviting love" .... no, Matt. Invitations do not work that way.
Ivan slammed the phone down on its receiver hard enough for a twang to echo through the room. It had been days since he’d last heard from Alfred, and he was getting worried. He had just been on the phone with a seemingly unconcerned Arthur, hoping that perhaps he would have heard something, but, to Ivan's dismay, Arthur had not heard anything. In fact, he had told him not to be concerned, as Alfred was probably off on his stupid adventures again. He sighed, picking up the phone once more. If anyone knew where Alfred was, it would be his brother. He dialed the number and waited, frowning as it went to the answering machine. He sighed, looking at the list of numbers Alfred had given him, in case of the rare occasion that he didn’t answer his own phone. Eventually, Ivan found Matthew’s cell phone number scribbled in at the end of the list. Alfred had almost forgotten about it when he was making it. He dialed quickly, his free hand picking up his pipe on the table unconsciously as he waited for an answer. He tightened his grip as an

Awesome, man. Ivan to the rescue *has a hero!Ivan kink* I think you handled Matt's derangement and his faking normality really well and believable, authoranon. I'm so glad no more states will die without anyone knowing ;_; (I wonder what Netherlands/England or whoever New York's other dad was, will say about this or will do to Canada). I also liked when Russia asked to speak with his son; and finally, I love the way you handle America fathering all those kids from different parents, and the open-minded way the other fathers that aren't Matthew accept that ^^ *hoping for some Alaska-Russia interaction soon*
New Jersey swallowed heavily as she approached Alfred’s house. The lights were on, but only Matthew’s car was in the driveway. She didn’t have time to wonder where Alfred or New York’s cars were, though. She had a mission. She walked up to the door, taking a deep breath as she rang the doorbell

“That’s not relevant! I’m asking you if you loved him. And you did. It hurt, didn’t it, when you found out that he was just so in love with Massachusetts, didn’t it? But you couldn’t say anything. Who would care? After all, you’re just siblings. You can’t love your brother, not the way you did. You and I, we’re a lot alike like that. You can’t mean to say you never thought of something like this. Didn’t you hate Massachusetts?” New Jersey shook her head, trying to fight back tears
