Prompts Thunderstorm and "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." for @geritaweek

Oops, forgot about this event. So here is a small little thing for the prompt magic for @royalredbrosweek.

"I'm sorry dad. I know they're around us, but even if the world would listen to me... Look at how they treat you when you speak of magic."

They looked at each other and then back down at the fairy dancing on Matthew's hand.

"It's alright son, whenever you are ready." And Arthur smiled at his boy, happy they shared the gift of being able to see them.

Canada had known the Netherlands for a long time now.

From the days Madeline was still overprotected by either France or Britain and both had told her Holland was this scary monster figure lurking in the shadows.

Their bedtime stories had frightened her then but the only thing she truly remembered about the other European nation was the scar that had caught her attention at some fancy party, even though both Francis and Arthur had taught her not to stare.

She only really got to know him long after that time, during his time of need. The actual man, not the shadow monster. His royal family fled to the relative safety of Arthur’s island and then some of them found their temporary home in her country.

Their stories about their nation painted a whole other picture about the man and he seemed nothing like the boogeyman she was afraid of as a child.

It made her want to learn more about the man, his people and the lands within the borders of that small piece of Europe.

Maddie got to do that when her own people were send to liberate his country. She had seen plenty of fighting by then, but she finally got to meet him for real. Not as just some childish colony that was introduced during a formal event and ignored afterwards.

The man didn’t look like a monster. He been so pale and thin when they met and her gaze had been drawn to that scar above his eye. Back then he had been a man losing his believe in a good ending and had it showed.

The Canadian had known right away that she couldn’t stand that look on his face. For some reason she felt like the man before her should always be happy, there had been something about the way he looked at her and didn’t once mistake her for her sister that made her feel special.

After the war, they became close friends quickly. Johan send her tulips bulbs and continued to send them to her, actually he never stopped. At some point he started to send her letters as well and maybe because she answered all of them, he started writing her more often.

They had fallen in love long before they even noticed their feelings were far more than friendship and had loved each other ever since.

By now Madeline knew all of Johan’s scars. The ones he got during the war and the ones that are much older, even older then she was. The scars more recent.

Johan knew all of Madeline’s scars. From her fight to liberate him, the scars from the war before that one and scars with all kinds of origin stories.

The only scar of they hadn’t spoken about, explained or gently touched was that one scar above his eye.

He took her hand and pulled her close against him. He leaned in and whispered his story to her, and only for her to hear.
