GermanyxReaderxPrussia :: Brothers' Love

You hear the door fly open, you rushed to the door and you see something that you wish you didn't. Ludwig covered in blood, bruises, and dirt… and he just gave you one of his 'don't worry about it' smiles. That smile makes you want to slap him but you never could.
You rushed to his side, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and lead him to his bed. When you got him to the bed, you hurried to get the first aid kit. You came back and Feliciano was at his side, he looked at you with a concerned look in his closed eyes. You just gave him a gentle smile as you walked to Ludwig's side and tended to his wounds.


You woke up and saw that you had fallen asleep next to the German in the bed. 'How did I get here?' you sat up, 'Oh, it must be a habit now... You felt something holding your hand. You lifted your it and saw that Ludwig had been holding it. Your face started to feel a bit warm as you looked over at the sleeping German's peaceful face… just then a terrible thought crossed your mind…
"LUDDWWIG!! Wake up!!" you shook him vigorously. "VHAT!?Oww. _______! CALM DOWN! OWWW!!" he shouted back grabbing your wrist. You froze. He was looking at you confused, "Vhat is the matter vith you?!" you blushed, tugging your hand away and got out of bed. "_____?" "Just go back to bed," you smiled in relief as you walked away.
You headed to the kitchen and found Feli cooking. "Need any help?" you're voice made him jump. "O-Oh ______, ciao." Okay? "Ciao..you okay?" He nodded, "Luddy is home! Everything is fine!" you knew he wasn't. No matter how much you felt about your German friend, friend or more, the Italian has known him longer and he knows him better then you did.
"Okay, what are you making?" He perked up, "Ve~PAASTAA!" you smiled. "I'll leave you to your work then," then you turned and headed out of the kitchen to the dining room. As you walked, your fingers traced the carvings in the table; your past few days without Ludwig flooded your mind… it had been months since you saw him.

The day Ludwig left, the nights were long. The days were long. Every minute you felt was like forever. You would sleep in his bed to feel his warmth, to smell his scent, to picture him next to you. 'I'm pathetic…' you would think almost every night. You missed him, the friend that you had feelings for, a feeling that meant you wanted to be more than friends, had gone to war thousands of miles away. You couldn't help but think that you may never see him again, his soft blonde hair, his crystal blue eyes, his soothing smiles. This was killing you. You couldn't take it. You had to have someone with you!
You ended up calling the older brother of Ludwig, Gilbert. He probably wasn't the best choice but he was the closest you were going to get to your friend you could get.
"Hey! ____-!" "Can you please come over?" There was few seconds of silence before he answered calmly. "Yeah, I'll be right over."
He did just that. A few moments later, Gilbert was over. It was night, you apologized for calling him so late asked if he would stay, only until his brother got back. He agreed without a thought. You hadn't thought at the time, but you were grateful for him. Because of Gil, you were able to sleep better; the days were able to pass without you wanting to call Ludwig. You smiled were able to smile again.

In the last few months, you got to know Gilbert. He would walk you to grocery store, he helped you cook, and he even helped you clean a bit. But the whole time he was boasting on and on about how 'awesome' he was. He made you laugh. Before, you two always got into fights, and argued about almost everything. 'This is nice' you thought at nice. Every once in a while, you feel someone get into bed with you at night and you would just let them be. You knew it was Gilbert, and you didn't mind at all. Later, he slowly grew closer, enough that he started holding you. You've never known him to be so shy around you…

"________!" You smiled, 'speak of the devil and he shall appear,' you rushed to the door to greet Gilbert. "Hey, guess wha-" "I got you the stuff you asked for, but I don't understand why you need so many bandages and wrap.-" "Ludwig's home!" you interrupted his interruption excited. He looked at you with disbelief hidden in his crimson eyes. "Luddy?" You nodded with a grin across your face. He was quiet for a few seconds, before suddenly grinning. "Gil-?" "Where is my dumbass brother?" you pointed to his bedroom and watched as he walked to it. You didn't follow, you just thought you should leave them alone. So you joined Feli in the kitchen where you had to clean up a bit.

"Hey~ I hear you are home bro~!" Gilbert burst though Ludwig's door with his arrogant grin across his face. "Ja…-" Luddy groaned as he sat up in bed. Gilbert almost skipped to his side still smiling. "How are you feeling?" He asked, which caught his younger brother off guard. "Um…Fine," he mumbled. "Why are you so quiet? You can talk to your awesome big bro!" He started patting his back, getting a bit rougher each time. "B-Brother…" "What is it? Tell me?"
"You're hurting my back…" He said, the Gilbert slapped the back of his head with his hand pretty hard. "OW! Vhat was that for?-" "For making _____ worry about you." He said bluntly, glaring coldly. "Vhat?" He sounded clueless and that irritated Gilbert even more. "Do you know what you put her though? You put her through a loneliness hell…" you said in a low voice. Ludwig didn't say anything. "You went to war without talking to her about it, you didn't even call to check up on her, you could of at least wrote to her…!" he shouted, lowering his voice so only his brother could hear. He was still quiet. Gilbert leaned back in his chair and crossed him arms, "She called me you know." The young German looked at him, eyes wide. "She asked me to stay with her until you get back," you looked toward the bed, "She told me that she would sleep here every night, just to get some sleep without any nightmares to wake her," He nodded toward the door, sometimes she wouldn't even leave bed unless she needed to use the restroom…" Gil sighed, "I told her TMI when she told me that."
"I had no idea…" Ludwig looked down on the bed, gripping the sheets, "If I knew I wouldn't have left…" "Ludwig, let me ask you something…" Gilbert was being quite serious, that worried Luddy. "Vhat?"
"Do you care about _______?"
"O-Of course I do!"
"Would you do anything for her?" the German was questioning him with cold crimson eyes that make the younger German shake. "J-Ja, I would walk thousands of miles for her, anything…" His older brother smirked, "Good, then that makes two of us…"
"Hey! Gilbert! Can you come here really quick?" the two of them jumped hearing your sweet voice. Gilbert smiled as he stood and walked to the door. Before he left, he looked at his younger brother and said "Let's makes this far okay? A friendly war between brothers," he smirked. "GILBERT!!" "I'm coming!! Hold on! This Awesomeness takes his times danke!!"
"Brother," He looked at Ludwig. "You do know I'm not going do without a fight."
"I wouldn't like it if you did…" Then they left it as that and the war began…
