(Romano's Pov)

Feliciano and I made our way to the kitchen where the potato eater was, the German was talking to Roderich while cooking some wurst. I glared at the German and made my way to the fridge and pulled out some ingredients for some of my famous pizza.

Feliciano was doing the same but for his pasta. We worked side by side in silence, I was thinking about Matt and how happy looked about the food that was given to him and Kumajiour. I was furious about the state my friend was in, I looked at my brother and could tell that he felt the same.

"Feli?" I spoke up, Feliciano stopped kneading his dough for his pasta.

"Ve~ what is it Romano?" Feliciano asked.

"I think that we should-a make a squad." I stated, this caught the attention of both Germany, Roderich, Prussia and Eliza who just walked in.

"A squad? What-a for?" My twin asked.

"For Matt!" I snapped.

"So Lovino since when did you start caring for others?" Prussia asked.

I glared at everyone, I can be nice when I want to be. I sighed and started to knead my dough, I was trying to think about my next words carefully.

"I can-a be-a nice! I just-a chose not to since there is-a no-one to be nice to except for-a Matt!" I stated. "Anyways I think that-a we should-a make a 'Canada Support group' since Matt is in danger when he is-a around his-a family." I said, there was hums of approval.

"I think that is a wonderful idea Lovino!" Eliza said.

"What did Lovi say that was a wonderful idea?" asked Antonio who walked in.

I looked at my old caretaker and glared at him muttering names under my breath. Eliza started to explain to what I had said. I started to spit the dough into fours and spin them into the air making perfect circles.

"So who should be in this squad then??" Antonio asked, I paused spreading homemade pizza sauce and thought.

"Us," I stated, continuing to make the pizzas.

"Why should it just be us?" Antonio asked, I turned around with a cold fiery glare in my eyes and stated in a harsh tone.

"Because-a Matt is-a my friend! France, England and America abused him and Kuma to-a the point where they had-a to leave plus that-a Tea drinking idiot was able to cancel his accounts making-a Matt go to different places just-a to get-a money!" I snapped, I know that my face was turning red.

"Ve~ I want-a to make-a sure that-a Matteo is-a happy and-a healthy again!" my brother said.

Everyone smiled and nodded. I was grinning like and idiot in my head, Germany, my brother and I continued with our cooking.

"Pancakes." I looked down to see Kumajiour looking at me with pleading eyes. Prussia chuckled with his annoying 'Keseses's' while I threw him a death glare.

"I think he wants Pancakes, uh anyone knows how to?" the Prussian asked.

Everyone shook their heads making the bear huff in annoyance and walked away.

(Matthew's Pov)

I woke up to feeling something licking my nose, opening my eyes I see a blur of white and black in my line of sight. I groan as I slowly sat up, I looked at Kuma who wiggled his way through my arms.

"Hello Kuma," I said as he sighed.

I petted his fur noticing how thin he was, I felt a tear fall from my eyes as I pulled Kuma closer. We stayed like this for a few minutes with Kuma licking my tears away as I silently cried. Kuma started to paw the loose fitting braids that Lovino and Feliciano did.

"Kuma?" I spoke catching the bears attention.

"What?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Do... Do you think that they ever cared about me?" I asked looking at the wall in front of me blankly.

"Yes, They found us and are giving us food." Kuma said.

"No, Not Lovino, Feli and them..." I said, Kuma looked confused.

"I mean America, France, and England," I clarified. "I mean even though France found me then England took me away as a war trophy of his winning... and America's punching bag and escape goat for everything." I said with a sad sigh.

"It's like whenever I did something that I could take credit for, just for America to swoop in and steals what is mine. Like half of his hockey players are freaking Canadian! Yet he just laughs it off and ignores me or freaks out and calls me a ghost or a 'thief'!" I said feeling depressed about everything.

"Idiot.... they are not Family." Kuma said.

I just sat there quietly listening to the faint sounds of birds singing. Italy was a beautiful place even though it is hot it was still nice. Kuma left me alone in the room with a question in mind, and I didn't know if I will ever receive.

"What is a family?" I muttered.

"Well a family is-a anything really," Romano said as he walked in with Kuma at his feet.

"Like-a take Eliza and-a Roderich for an example, their different but they-a still see each other as a family." the Italian explained.

"Yeah but... I don't think I have a family besides Kuma... I'm really nothing but a trophy from a war between England and France. Even though I'm Independent I'm still treated like a colony... No like I'm not there Lovino, it's like I don't exist!" I said looking away from my friend.

Lovino sighed and sat at the edge of the bed placing a tray on to my lap.

"You-a do exist, they-a are too-a stupid to-a realise this Matt," Romano said as I looked at the food on the tray.

A bowl of Alfredo, a plate of wurst and pizza. I smiled as I started to eat the food that was given to me while I knew that Lovino was watching me.

"But-a I think having friends who-a care and love you for-a you, then I think that-a beats a broken family." Lovino said, I looked up at my friend and smiled as I put down the yummy pizza and pulled Lovino into a hug.

"You think?" I asked, I felt Lovino hug me back.

"I know." He replied.

"Pancakes!!" Kuma whined, making me laugh.

"Let me finish eating Kuma and then I'll make you some Pancakes." I chuckled.

I finished my food in silence while Lovino took out the braids, Kuma watched us with a blank stare.

"Like Italians better than Idiot family." Kuma stated making Lovino and I laugh.

I sat on the bed waiting for Lovino to finish, I found it very relaxing. I remembered Native America playing with my hair when ever I was sitting in the fields braiding grass into the flower crowns I made.

"Yeah I like the Italians too, Lovino and Feli make great brothers. I wish that Spain found me instead of France and England." I said.

"I wish-a that too. But-a sadly that stupid Tomato eater didn't find-a you, instead he found-a Mexico and the lower part of you moronic brother." Lovino stated, I chuckled making Lovino smile.

"Well Lovino I think I should make Kuma some pancakes," I said, Lovino looked sad that I was leaving to do something so soon.

"But I want to teach you how to make pancakes since you and Feli along with Germany, Eliza, Austria, Spain and Gilbert are helping me." I said with a lopsided smile.

"Whatever you want-a do I don't-a mind." Lovino said, helping me out of bed.

We made our way to the kitchen, I hated staying in bed when I could be doing something like going to work an doing the paperwork. Maybe that is why my bosses wife had to tie me to the bed so I could get better when I was sick.

When we got there I saw Gilbert talking to Spain, Germany was talking to Austria while Eliza and Feli were talking. Lovino and I walked over to Feli and Eliza after putting the dishes in the sink, Feli stopped talking and rushed over and tackled me in a hug.

"Matteo you're supposed to-a be-a resting!" Feli said, Eliza 'awed' but then looked scary.

"I agree with Feli, you should be in bed resting!" Eliza scolded, I smiled nervously the the brunette.

"I know but I hate not being useful -especially since America, England and France tell me I'm lazy and useless-, I guess that is another reason why Laureen had me tie to my bed when I came to work with a cold." I said then I thought about Laureen and how she scolded me for hours.

Everyone looked at me with confusion.

"Who's Laureen?" Austria asked, looking a bit pale.

"Oh my Bosses wife, she is so nice.... unless you come in sick and refuse to leave until you get some of your work done. Made that mistake once and lets just say I have to hide in my room when she catches me doing my work at home." I said, rubbing my neck with a blush on my face.

"Well then I want you back in bed." Eliza said, but Kumajiji started to whine and biting Prussia's jeans.

"PANCAAAAAKES!!!!~" the bear cried.

"Uh... I will right after I give Kumakuma some pancakes, he'll destroy your home if I don't." I said, so Eliza nodded as I rushed to get all of my ingredients ready.

Lovino, Feli, Spain and Eliza all watched me whisked the batter swiftly but also being gentle. I then ladled some of the batter on to a hot pan thanks to Lovino. Feli placed plates onto the counter for me, I smile at this.

"When-a do you know-a if it's-a done?" Lovino asked, looking at the circle batter with a mini scowl.

"Easy, you see the small holes in the batter? That is how you know when to flip it." I said as I flipped the pancake.

After it was cooked I placed it onto the plate and continued to repeat the steps, I even got Feli, Lovino and Eliza flipping pancakes like pros. Spain was helping with flipping the batter but he ended up with pancake batter on his head and some landed on me.

Kuma huffed and climbed onto Spain and I's shoulders and liked the batter off of our faces as we all laughed.

"Ve~ this is-a fun! Thank-a you Matteo for-a teaching us!" Feli said as he munched on a pancake.

Eliza nodded and slapped Gilbert's hand when he reached for another one, Germany looked at the pancakes with awe.

"Canada I was wondering how do you make your pancakes so delicious?" the German asked.

"Well there not that good... there are others who can make better pancakes then me.... America told me that when he took some pancakes to a star chief and they compared my pancakes to others..." I said looking down at my food with a frown.

"Nonsense! That American Idiot doesn't know anything about pancakes! Yours are Awesome just like me so your brother can stuff it!" Gilbert said looking red in the face.

Everyone nodded, I felt a warmth in my chest when they all complimented me and my cooking. I smiled feeling happy, but I wondered just how long this feeling was going to last. I didn't want to get attached to this feeling knowing after this is year is done I'll just be forgotten again.
