#alfred: I bet it's ned's fault

[myrddin-wylt]

lowkey losing my shit at the comedic potential of mid/late 18th century British-Danish relations, particularly this part

During its heyday, the Danish East Indian Company and the Swedish East India Company imported more tea than the British East India Company — and smuggled 90% of it into Britain, where it sold at a huge profit.

first off, that's hilarious. second, the potential of Alfred and Mathias running into each other because they're both smuggling tea to sell in England is fucking incredible. and if it's before 1772, then both Alfred and Mathias are members of Arthur's own fucking household.

#hetalia hc #hetalia hcs #hetalia headcanons #historical hetalia #hetalia headcanon #hws america #hws denmark #okay they're OCCASIONAL members of Arthur's household #presumably Alfred mostly lives in the colonies and Mathias in Copenhagen #but Britain and Denmark have a royal marriage during this time and that's as good excuse as any #arthur: I don't understand. where is everyone buying such cheap tea from??? the EIC should be making much more profit than this #mathias: wow that's so weird. don't have a clue how that's happening #alfred: I bet it's ned's fault #mathias: yeah that dutch bastard always gets away with everything

"So," he started asking when he was half his third beer in, "what are you doing on christmas?" Alfred usually spent this holidays with Matthew, Francis and Arthur. Sometimes Michelle would join too, but this time was different. Arthur lost a bet and he would have to spend christmas with his brothers. Francis had a meeting with his boss the next day so he would stay at home, and Matthew said he would join him. So that left the american nation by himself this holidays. "I think Ludwig will go and stay with Italy, and I don't really feel like being the third wheel, so I'll stay with Roderich and Elizabetha", responded Gilbert, who was far too drunk to do a joke about his brother and the minor of the Italys. "And the other Italy? The grumpy one" asked Matthias, looking the beer with desire. Apperently he had made a bet with the swedish nation about him being sobber until christmas. "Lovino is staying with Antonio. I think Ned, Emma and Louis are staying there too." "Yeah, I think I heard Mexico saying Antonio tried to invite him and the rest of the latinos too, but none of them were in the mood to "escuchar al viejo borracho echar de menos sus días de imperio hasta en la jodida navidad", or something like that." Alfred added. We all laugh at that, Antonio was a really funny drunk, he would pass from crying for his glory age to dancing the macarena in about a minute or less. "I'll take you're celebrating with the nordics, Finland do is Santa after all" was Gilbert guess about Matthias' plans. "Of course! This year is tourn to celebrate in Erikur's house, and he was so cute trying to persuade Sigurd and I not to find excuses to end up staying more than two months with him this time," a smile covered his face. "We'll do it anyway, and when Berwald told that deep inside Erikur loves being bebied by Norge and I he turned red and started babbling and look so freaking adorable. Tino took a photo, I swear I'm framing it soon." Gilbert started laughing again and Alfred shook his head with a smile. Matthias actittud towards his family, and specially towards the icelandic and norwegian nations, will never stop to amuse them. A few beers, or in Matthias case just water, later, each of them went back to their home. Alfred have had the hope that after this reunion with his friends, he would feel happier, but he didn't. In the last years, he started to feel very lonely, even though he would never admite it. And now, a few days away from spending his first christmas alone in more than two centuries, the feeling was worst than ever. Of course, he could just join Matthew and Francis, or even Arthur and his brothers. There was even a chance he coud ask the latinoamericans to go to their celebration and the would say yes. But it someway felt wrong. Being with his brother and Francis without Arthur, being with the british nations without his brother. Or being with none of them at all. Maybe he was just too accostumed to his traditions, or maybe it was something else. The increasing feeling of solitude. His country have made mistakes, his own people weren't as happy as they used to. So many disagreements with other countries, he has problems with looking some of them at the eye after what his leaders have said and done. It isn't his fault, he knows that. And he knows nobody blame him. They don't have power now, not like they had centuries ago. In a time Alfred wasn't his own country yet. Gilbert and Matthias talk about that. Gilbert tell how he was the only one Federick the Great would completely trust, and sometimes he commended complete armys by his kings side. Matthias will talk about doing diplomacy by themself, to the grade of him chosing the wars he wanted to fight. But Alfred never proved that, he has always been an advicer, ready to be ignored. Some times they would ask for his opinion, but most time the would just have him hear endless proposes that will be done even if he like them or not.

That new feeling didn't leave him for days. When christmas finally arrive, he calls everyone to wish them happines, and they sounded all so happy. Matthew told him how Michelle. appeared at them door with presents and, because of greeting her, they almost burn dinner. Arthur said that his brother organized the biggest party he have been since the '60. "It seems I'm not too old for this shit yet" were his words over the phone. Gilbert said Roderich did a dessert almost as awesome as him. And he manage to behave enough for Elizabetha to not bring out her pan. Matthias said something about winning a bet and Berwald finally calling him storebror, and about Finland being the best Santa ever. Alfred spent Christmas with his people, and that should have been enough. That was almost enough. But almost is not enough, and now Alfred prepared himself for being alone one the New Year too. Usually, he would go to the Empire State, but he didn't feel like it. He wanted to just stay at home and prepare for calling everyone in his time zone. He had tried to call his family in their respective new year, but none of them answere the phone. He asumed they just went out to party, so when few minutes before midnight someone knock on his door, he didn't knew what to think And he opened the door. Matthew was there with some take-out dinner in hand, Arthur had a few bottles of champagne, and Francis was already hugging him. The horrible feeling of loneliness disappeared. Because he knew that it didn't matter what was going to happpen, or how many fight they had, they were a family. And for Alfred, that was enough.
