The Secrets Hidden Within The Dairies Of The Nations

Mortality And Immortality

"Ha! I was right" Matthew said cheerfully as he and Abel walked into the meeting room along side everyone else. The Dutch man chuckled as he looked at Gilbert who was pouting and Alfred who was grinning widely as he flipped through an old leather bound notebook. 

"Yup you were right" He said as the two of them approached the pouting Prussian. 

"I guess you couldn't help but to give into the eyes, huh Gil" Matthew said in amusement and Gilbert turned to give him a grumpy look. 

"It's not fair Birdie, your brother has literal stars in his eyes! I stood absolutely no chance!" He exclaimed loudly causing everyone in the meeting room, including Alfred, to laugh. 

"Don't beat yourself up to much Gil, I've seen many men and women fall victim to his puppy dog eyes there really is no escaping them. Heck not even Natalya could say no to him" Matthew said and said Belarusian just shrugged as she walked into the meeting room along side Katyusha. 

"The stars, they get you every time" She said as she took her seat and everyone who had ever been a victim of Alfred's puppy dog eyes nodded in agreement, mean while Alfred had a large Cheshire like grin on his face that he hid with Gilbert's notebook. As soon as everyone was in the meeting room Alfred placed the notebook down. 

"Alright who wants to read now?" Alfred asked as he held up the book, Ludwig's eyes widened in surprise as he glanced down at where the book had previously been. When in the world did he grab it? When he looked back up he noticed the smirk that Lovino and Alfred were giving him, cheeky bastard's he thought to himself in amusement. 

Peter was the first one to raise his hand, and he didn't just raise his hand he also climbed up onto Berwald's shoulder's and waved his hand all over the place much to everyone's amusement. 

"Alright little buddy it's all yours" Alfred said in amusement as he handed the boy the book which caused a large grin to appear on his face, but before he could start reading Alfred quickly interjected. 

"Now before you start reading buddy maybe you should climb off of your dad" Alfred suggested playfully causing Peter to blush before he climbed off of Berwald's shoulder's and returned to his seat. 

"Thank you Alfred" Berwald said and the American just gave him a large grin as Peter began to read. 

Dear Diary,

Why can't Avatar: The Last Airbender come out in Japanese dub already? It is hard being on the other end of the stick. I don't know how America deals with it. - Japan

"Frustratingly Kiku, that's how I deal with it" Alfred said seriously causing everyone to laugh. Peter laughed along side everyone else before he went back to reading. 

His pancakes are magic and can cure anything - Canada

"Fact!" Alfred shouted and everyone who has ever had the Candian's pancakes furiously nodded in agreement much to everyone else's surprise. Mean while Matthew's face was as red as a tomato. Peter flipped the page before he once again began reading, not realizing that this next entry would make things very sad. 

I can hear her sometimes. She calls my name... In a language I was encouraged to forget. - America

Alfred frowned softly as he stared down at his hands, Matthew reached over and pulled the American into a tight hug while Arthur looked away guiltily. He was the one who encouraged not only Alfred's to forget his native tongue but also Matthew, sadly he was a lot more successful with Alfred then he was with Matthew. 

"Peter do you mind if I read?" Alfred asked softly and the boy nodded as he handed the book to the American. He felt really bad for making the American sad. Matthew unattached himself from Alfred so that he could read more clearly. 

Old Fritz was like a father to Gilbert. Gilbert stayed with him until the last moment. After that, Gilbert never became close to another human again. 

Tears stung at the back of Gilbert's eyes as he desperately tried to keep them in, he missed Old Fritz so much. He looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Alfred giving him a soft reasuring look. 

"It always hurts getting close to a human and having to watch them die, it's the burden an immortal must always face but you'll always have us to fall back on Gil. You don't have to pretend like everything's okay" He said softly and everyone, especially those who had been close to a human, nodded in agreement. Gilbert leaned over and hugged Alfred close, said American just smiled as he adjusted himself so that he could continue to read. 

Dear Diary,

Amelia Earhart was the one who taught me how to fly a plane. Someday's, I still wonder if they'll ever figure out what exactly had happened to her. - America

Alfred frowned sadly at this and Gilbert tightened his hold on him. Alfred took a deep shuddering breath before pressing on. 

Russia doesn't regret his revolution. He isn't sorry that the Romanov dynasty was overthrown, or that Nicolas II was killed. But he wishes the tsar's children could have been spared. They treated him like a member of their family, and were always trying to get him to play with them and tell them stories. They loved him, and he couldn't help but love them back. And while he tried to not play favorites, he was especially fond of Anastasia. He always spends the anniversary of their death alone, mostly because he doesn't want anyone to know how sad he gets on that day. 

Ivan squeezed his eyes shut tightly as tears threatened to escape, he placed his head into his hands and became numb to the world. Yao gently placed his hand on the broken Russian's shoulder before glancing up at everyone else. 

"I think now a good time to stop for the day~Aru" He said softly before he gently lead the Russian out of the room. Everyone slowly followed suite. 

Arthur glanced briefly at Alfred who was talking softly with Gilbert and Matthew, he sighed before following Francis out of the room. While he did want to talk with Alfred he knew that now was not the time.
