A/N: Hello everyone! I'm writing this story because my other story just hit a road block ( I'm searching for more inspiration to continue). This fic will be in first person, with various POVs, so please bear with me. And I use human names.
Disclaimer: I don't own Axis Powers: Hetalia, even though I would like to.
Summary: Ludwig Beilschmidt is the Battalion Commander in the JROTC Program at his school, the Tesoro Academy, where only students from politcal or another high social standing's family can attend. While in the JROTC, Ludwig has accomplished many things. However, one day he gets a new assignment that will forever change him.
Prologue (Ludwig's Point of View)
His name was Luciano Vargas*, and he was my Senior Army Instructor, therefore, my superior. He he was a colonel in the army for several decades and had been awarded with the medal of honor, along with several other awards for bravery. He retired a few years ago and helped the Tesoro Academy reinstate the Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps, JROTC for short. This program is very demanding in terms of self restraint, but I find it very enjoyable. Otherwise, I wouldn't be the Cadet Lieutenant Colonel*.
As I walked into his office, there was a...gentle...atmosphere. However, it was this very atmosphere that made me feel so tense. I looked over at Col. Luciano, then over at my grandfather, Olbert Beilschmidt*, who is Col. Luciano's assistant. I felt their eyes piercing through me as I saluted to them. Col. Luciano saluted back and brought his hand back down, signaling for me to do the same. He let out a hearty laugh.
"It's alright, Ludwig," he said calmly. "You're not in trouble."
I let out a sigh of relief as both men smiled at me. "You've been a great battalion commander, Ludwig. You're trustworthy and hardworking."
"Thank you, sir."
"Well, I hope this isn't asking too much, but I have a favor to ask of you." Col. Luciano got up from his desk and walked over to me. "You see, I have a grandson. I have two, actually. However, one of them is already enrolled in this school while the other is not. However, he's transfering into this school. He's a bright boy, but...well, let's just say that he worries me sometimes."
"I'm not sure if I understand, sir." Truth be told, I really had no idea where this was going.
"Ludwig, surely you must know of the Academy's Brotherhood and Sisterhood Program," my grandfather said.
Oh, I get it now. The Brotherhood and Sisterhood Program is where selected juniors and seniors take on a freshman as their "sibling." I'm guess that Col. Luciano wants me to look after his grandson.
"I know it's a lot to ask, but I was hoping that you would...guide...him." He began to pace in front of his desk. "He won't be an official 'sibling,' but I would appreciate it if you could treat him as such. What do you say?"
What could I say?
"It would be my honor, sir. May I ask what his name is and when I can meet him?"
Col. Luciano let out another laugh. "Ah, don't worry so much about it. You'll meet him today during fifth period. Now, you may go. First period is about to start, isn't it?"
"Yes, sir."
"I can't begin to thank you enough, Ludwig."
I gave him a reassuring smile. "It's a pleasure, sir. Until then."
Upon leaving Col. Luciano's office, I couldn't help but ask myself quietly, "What the hell did I just get into?"
