The looooove. Thanks for all the commments, they made me so happy ♥ Oh, I was going to mention it, but I suppose you should thank o0litodreamer0o as her comics gave me the perfect image in my mind for teen!France and helped jump~start the plot.
* The trio lingered in the halls near his locker. Matthew thought this had to be some circle of hell, populated by hormonal trouble-making teenage boys. Antonio had a black eye, was rubbing at a bruise forming on his cheek.
"Felicano is oddly angry today..."
"West is going with Feliciano. You got Lovino"That explains a lot," Antonio said

"-eeepp-!"
"Hush. It's just me," Francis said.
"Oh, Francis. Y-you startled me."
"Je suis désolé. I thought you'd know it was me."
Matthew rubbed at his cheek. That sound of surprise had been more than a little unmanly. It was something he'd rather have not had Francis seen. Even Al, who'd tease him forever would be better than looking like a pansy. Though Francis seemed to have not noticed.
"Merde, this alcohol is disgusting. Good thing I brought something good along

I had to google him. :/ But hey! I've actually read quite a bit of his stuff. Back in middle school, anyway.
AND HOLY SHOT, HE WROTE GOOD OMENS WITH TERRY PRATCHETT! The book took a bit of getting through (I'm so used to Pratchett's writing alone...) but was amazing.

I'm also new here, I don't usually like this pairing, but, this is dynamite. It mixes together the just right amounts hilarious high school cliche and real life undercurrent.
Things you are awesome for: ~The bad friends trio being slightly bully~esque in their treatment of Matthew but still making them lovable, like Gilbert in heart boxers. ~Making Matthew, Arthur, Kiku, and Eduard different types of nerds that would not necessarily hang out together. ~Saying you may do a USUK parallel storyline. ~Spamano! ~Making Matthew an artist, and Francis a photographer, and incrperating their artistic pursuits well in the story. ~Naming your story this, because it has disappointed me endlessly that the English language does not have a phrase for this and I was happy to learn that French does. ~Mentioning Robot Unicorn Attack, because I was playing it right before I read this.
I know that there are more things you are awesome for but I shall try to shut up now. Know that I am here F5ing.

Canadian!anon admits there are other people who listen to Stars and read Neil Gaiman (and got his signature in her copy of Fragile Things in Montreal last August~), but she is ever so amused by the similarities of Matthieu liking them too. :3
Just read the whole thing in one go

Had I been drinking, it would have been all over my computer. Oh dear. *gigglefit* Matthew. Subtlety. Learn to use it. This is brilliant and wonderful because, while being totally AU, there are so many canon points. XD Cuba and Al arguing was brilliant, BTW. It was like the whole Cuba smacking Canada strip but with CHATSPEAK. *o*
I also adore the Quebecois cussing. And the fact that the French teacher is like 'NOM NOM NOM'. I always laugh when French teachers get like that.
Oh my god, captcha. Really? 'lays opaquer' LOL And because I am an idiot and didn't fill in the two words, now it says 'who classier' and I am dying of giggles all over again. Who indeed.

That was so hilariously unexpected. I literally laughed out loud. I'm a pretty quiet person most of the time, but I'm pretty sure my roommate downstairs heard me. Quite embarrassing. Not nearly as embarrassing as what just happened to poor Matt, though.... hahahahahahaha oh man

Have my undying affection <3
