Dark Waters

Dark Waters

AN: So, this is a bit of an odd fic. Its mixing three fandoms (hetalia, aot and sh) and three previous fics. Shining Waves is the third book in the Dare Devil time line, but I don't think a lot of people realize that. You probably need to read Dawn of a New Age and Shining Waves to fully understand what's going on here. Dare Devil is kinda optional ;) This takes place one year after Shining Waves.

Matthew groaned as a kiss was pressed to his cheek. He huffed and pulled all of the blankets up to cover his face. Hiding from the albino and the sun. Gilbert laughed lightly and pulled the covers down again to see an annoyed Canadian.

"Come on, Birdie." Prussia said leaning down and kissing his forehead. He just grumbled again and the Prussian smiled. He was already up and fully dressed ready to go. "Jou need to get up if jou vant coffee and breakfast."

"Can't you bring me some?" Canada whined looking up at him with puppy eyes. "S'il vous plaît?"

Matthew knew it was hard for Gilbert to say no to him. Especially with the eyes and French. The albino just sighed and shook his head. He bit his lip.

"Nein, it'll take jou even longer to get out of bed." Gilbert said kissing his nose. Matthew groaned wrapping his arms around the Prussian's neck. He pulled him down for a proper kiss knowing he was right.

"Fine." The blond sighed exasperatedly sitting up. He got out of bed and changed into his uniform. The albino sat on the bed and watched him. He knew Gilbert was watching him and smiled to himself. Canada turned around and smiled. "Ready?"

"Ja." Prussia hummed taking his hand and kissing his cheek as they started towards the mess hall.

There was an expedition today. The Scouts were going to survey the land south in between the two walls. They were hoping to maybe seal up the other wall with Eren's powers. It would reopen the land in between the walls for people to settle. He knew it would take a while. They had to make sure all the Titans were gone first.

"I'm so happy coffee still exists." The Canadian grumbled taking a sip. He was barely awake. Gilbert smiled seeing him so sleepy, he was adorable.

"I vish we had time for pancakes." The albino sighed. He nodded in agreement.

"Maybe for supper." Canada said with a small smile. Gilbert bounced excitedly. The pair quickly finished their breakfast and started towards the stables. Prussia went to get Mondi while the Canadian grabbed Glacies.

Matthew had taken Glacies on as his horse. Glacies wouldn't let anyone, but Canada ride him. He was very temperamental with anyone else. He'd bite and kick people. They would have put him down if he hadn't taken him. Matthew couldn't let that happen. Spitfire had been getting a bit old and was used as a training horse now. She had always been very gentle and calm. He was sad to let her go, but knew it was time. He knew she'd fit in well there.

The couple did one last check of their horses and equipment before mounting. They trotted up to the other scouts that were starting to divide into their squads. The nations had been placed with the 104th squad for the most part since their trip to the ocean. They were with them today. The couple didn't mind, they were good kids.

The Scouts started to travel to the south gate. It didn't take very long to get there since their headquarters were close. Matthew yawned tiredly as they waited for the garrison to open the gate. Gilbert looked over to him and smiled. He couldn't help, but smile back.

Canada and Prussia had still been talking about leaving, but hadn't actually decided anything yet. They knew they wanted to leave, but still weren't sure when or how. Now that they had found the blond's family they were sticking around. He sighed shaking the thoughts from his mind hearing the gate open.

Glacies stomped his hooves raring to go. He edged forward a bit as the horses in front of them started to move. He urged the horse towards the gate. Gilbert and Mondi were right beside him with the 104th behind them. Canada hummed feeling the wind in his hair. They galloped through the ruins of the old district before getting to an open field.

The Scouts rode in formation for a while using flares to signal were the titans were. Their squad was close to the centre of the formation and didn't have to deal with any titans. They soon came to a dense forest. The squad had to split up and spread out among the trees. He always hated splitting away from Prussia.

Matthew could hear titans stomping about, but couldn't see any through the dense trees. Suddenly, a titan stepped out from behind a tree in front of him. Glacies reared in surprise as he held on. The ugly giant was blocking his path. He didn't have any other choice, but to kill it. He drew his blades before standing up and jumping off his horse. He hooked into a tree trunk and reeled towards the titan. Canada swung right at the ugly giant and slashed through its eyes. It groaned and covered its eyes. They steamed as they started to heal. He hooked into a new tree using his momentum to launch himself at the titan’s nape. He quickly slashed through it and reeled away as it fell. He landed in a crouch and put his blades away.

The Canadian whistled and Glacies came right away. He mounted and started off again. He needed to catch up with the rest of the scouts. Matthew listened carefully as he rode. He could hear titans all over the place and hoped his squad mates were okay. He knew they were all capable of killing a titan.

Canada heard a rawr and pulled Glacies to a halt. The horse stomped and wanted to keep going. Eren ran across his path as a titan. He groaned seeing him and was about to go after him, but spotted Mikasa swinging by. The blond knew she could handle him. He wanted to find Gilbert. He needed to know he was okay. He knew the scouts must have been scattered. They hadn't expected this many titans.

"Matthew?!" Someone called from behind him. The Canadian turned to the voice. It was familiar, but he knew there was no way it was who he was thinking it was. He quickly spotted him and his eyes widened.

"Aerrow?" Matthew asked confused riding over. He dismounted not really believing his eyes. The red head immediately pulled him into a hug. "How?"

Canada didn't know how he was there, but it was him. The Storm Hawks should have died centuries ago, especially with the time difference, but Aerrow didn't look any older than the last time he saw him. He was pulled out of his thoughts hearing a titan's steps. He could feel the ground shake underneath them as it got closer. He let go of the Sky Knight and drew his blades. Aerrow copied his action and pulled his short swords. Matthew shook his head.

"Hide in that tree." He said quickly gesturing to a huge hollowed out tree trunk. The red head looked like he was about to argue, but Canada interrupted him. "Please trust me, I'll explain later. You don't know what you are dealing with."

The ugly giant stomped around a tree into view. Aerrow's eyes widened seeing it. Matthew quickly pushed him in the direction of the hollow tree trunk. He made sure he was inside safely before rushing at the titan.

AN: This fic will be posted chapter after chapter all day today! Sorry for the spam you might get.
