Oh Maple.

Characters: Canada and YOU
Setting: The hallways or wherever
Format: I'm starting in action, but I'll follow you!.
Summary: Matt's woken up and is a little distraught so he's wandering the halls.
Warnings: none yet

The waking up process had frightened him, creating a deep unsettling worry in the pit of his stomach that made him want to be sick. But once it had passed and he'd been able to sit up and look around it had only heightened the sense of worry. Finding his glasses on the table near his bed it took him a moment to collect himself and inspect his surroundings.

THe letters had been his first real imperical proof of the sense of dread he had been feeling. And it only grew once he noticed the room he was in to the extent that he felt like crying. But the scratching and growling form the trunk at the end of his bed made him scramble and throw it open. HIs bed blinked owlishly at him and something seemed to make him feel a little better at seeing the items in his trunk.

After he'd changed and checked the other beds in the room, his bear expressed that he was, in fact, starving. Course the fat little bear was always starving, so Canada simply picked him up with a sigh and made his way out of the room and into the hallways.

Now came the real challenge, where was everything and where was he in relation to those things.

"Oh maple, this sucks."

Her smile strained a little at his reassurance. She had felt the death of her people in that viewfinder. She didn't want to believe it was real after all but...

"Of course. We'll go home." She repeated his words and nodded, "I suppose it's just a matter of having faith until then."

"Hey, faith has taken me this far, that and hard work. But I think we'll get out of here...er... do you want a hug? J-just because you look like you need one and er... yeah." Matt's face flushed and he closed his mouth once he noticed he was rambling. Honestly, he could be so awkward at times he couldn't believe himself.

Canada touched her face as if she could feel the emotions she was apparently showing. She would rather keep that under wraps. She resolved to buck up and be more optimistic... yet she could hardly say no to a hug.

"If you'd like to give me one--um that's fine." Really, she was more awkward around her other self than anyone it seemed.

Matt decided to ignore her awkwardness she was him wasn't she? In a sense... It was really beginning to give him a headache so instead of thinking too much about it he wrapped his arms around her in a simple hug.

It wasn't as awkward as he imaged actually.

Her awkwardness didn't so much so disappear as didn't really matter. He was hugging her. It was nice...if a bit strange. She returned the hug with a gentle squeeze and smiled.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." he gave a small smile, it was odd hugging the female version of himself but he was glad that he could make her feel even slightly better.

"It's nice...well let's take these stairs then." She put a hand on his arm and led him down the stairs, pausing as something occurred to her.

"Oh--um. If the lake on one floor freezes over, do you want to help me teach Taiwan how to play hockey...or ice skate first?"

[i-luv-syrup.livejournal.com]

Matt couldn't help but smile at the mention of hockey. "Should teach her to skate first, most tropical nations don't realize how much ankle support you need. But, I'd like to help, maybe teach a few people to play hockey."
