Chapter 7
Mathias Køhler - Denmark
The time to rest, relax and get used to the town was over. Lukas' first day at school had arrived and he was terrified despite all of Arthur's reassurances. After he was shown how to find his locker and work the lock, many students started pouring into the hallways. As soon as they did, Lukas became very self-conscious about everything he did and dropped his gaze to the floor. Sure, he had found some people that were fairly alright unfortunately he still loathed the human race. At least, for now. He was more than aware about the fact that children and teenagers could be extremely cruel when they wanted to. He tried his best to avoid all the others' stares but this was a small town, which in everyone knew everyone else really well. The result? Lukas stood out like a sore thumb. And to deal with this, Lukas dealt with it the way he dealt everything else. First, he put on a calm and aloof mask to hide away the pain and suffering he was more than used to feeling. Second, he went completely quiet; no words would escape his mouth.
Arthur, on the other hand, managed to look underneath the mask Lukas put up and placed his hand on the Norwegian's shoulder. "Let's get out of this chaos. The first day back is always... how should I put it... crazy. Besides, we meet Vlad and the others in the back of the cafeteria." And so they headed off. Before Lukas knew it, they were only a couple of metres away from the table containing Vlad, Lovino and a person who had dark brown hair tied in a low ponytail. They seemed to be in a conversation but that immediately sidestepped as soon as Arthur and Lukas' presence had been picked up on. "That, Yao," exclaims Lovi, "Is the person I am really glad about joining our group. Out of all the people Arthur could have staying with him, I like that he has someone who seems to get me." Lukas' eyes widened, mostly because no one had ever been that kind but slightly because this was coming out of Lovi's mouth. It seemed he wasn't the type of person to usually say nice things like that.
Yao smiles, "Hi Lukas. I'm Yao Wang, aru. You can ask me any questions about W Academy and I'll be happy to answer, aru!"
"Um, hello. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, Arthur! Sorry I couldn't make the other day, I had to look after my siblings - you know how they can't be trusted, aru." Arthur grins and accepts the apology, "It's fine." Just at that moment, the noise level rises so much it could smash through the roof. The Norwegian cranes his head to get a good look and notices four people have entered the room. One - a tall man with an athletic build and glasses - glances around the room and beams when he spots the Brit. He runs all the way up and leaves Lukas wondering if he's another friend. The look on the emerald eyed male's face only shows anger. "'Sup Artie! Did you have a good Christmas!" He practically radiates positive energy and cannot keep still. Arthur sighs, "How many times Jones have I told you to stop calling me 'Artie'. My name is Arthur. Arthur. You get it?!" Vlad slides up next to Lukas, "That, my friend, is Alfred F. Jones; most popular guy in school. He's actually really nice but Arthur hates his guts - I say he secretly has a crush on him but he won't admit it." Although Arthur obviously was intent on being cold and rude, the American continued to smile, "I just think Artie suits you. That's all."
"Well can you please stop, Jones. And think? That's unlike you." Alfred winces when this hits him but tries to hide it. "Arthur." Lukas whispers, "I know what kind of words can really upset people and those are some. Stop." Arthur gazes into the blonde's eyes and notices the dismay within them. "Anyway, I'll see you around Arthur." Alfred starts walking off, letting the last word smack the Brit right in the chest. Lukas gets up and catches up with him, "Hey." The American turns around and just stares at him. Lukas didn't really understand where he had found the courage to talk to the most popular guy in school but it had suddenly showed up. Maybe it was the small moment when the man had a pained expression on his face, perhaps Lukas had seen a bit of himself in that moment. "I'm really sorry about all that. I don't know why Arthur started acting like that. I'll try make it stop though."
"You really don't have to. It's fine. I'm used to this happening whenever I talk to him. He finds me loud, annoying and obnoxious. I guess I am those things though. He's just listing facts." Alfred plastered a fake grin on his face but Lukas knew all about putting on a mask. He could tell when someone was deeply hurting inside. "Want to talk about it? I've got time." Lukas offered.
"Ok. Well, what to tell? Um, I like Arthur. That's all there is to know." Alfred whispers, "Welcome to the school though."
"Thanks. Hope you'll be ok. I'm Lukas." They shook hands. "You don't need to worry about me, I bounce back quickly." With that, the first meeting concluded and the two parted ways.
Lukas' POV
Thankfully, I managed to make my way to my first DT lesson. Little did I know that it was time for another social interaction (seriously - what was happening to me?) This one would end up being the most important to me. Why? Because of him. Blonde gravity-defying hair, eyes as clear and blue as the sky on a beautiful day, a never fading smile. Mathias Køhler. I'll never forget the day I met him. All he did was walk up to me smiling. And all I did was make small talk, a strange emotion blossoming within my chest. I would later fall in love with this man and we would never leave each other's side until we die. "So you're the new guy huh? The name's Mathias and I'm from Denmark!"
"Born and raised in Norway, Lukas Bondevik."

Wow. Another chapter in the space of two days. That's good. I'm so glad I was able to slightly introduce Denmark in this.
And now for something I love: a picture of Hetalia x pokemon!
I find it quite worrying I can recognise all of them as pikachu XD
Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
Bye!
