If you look closely at World Academy's Music Club, you'll notice it has only two members, Roderich - the star pianist and classical music lover - and Gilbert - ze awesome guitarist of the Bad Touch Trio. And if you were familiar with those two, you'll know they are as different as chalk and cheese and seemly don't get along. If so, what happens during club hours? Do they simply argue throughout or co-operate on a strictly business basis (was that even possible for the Prussian?)? Indeed, what a mystery, and on that we need to solve with a little time-travelling to the forming of WA's first, and so far, only Music Club.
It was the beginning of Roderich's freshman year and he was beginning to get used to the quirks and perks of World Academy. Like everyone in this queer Academy was a representative of a country, he represented his country, Austria. And being the proud representative he was, he would always play classical Austrian music from his favourite Austrian (or so he claims, Ludwig, the German representative, would argue they were, in fact, German) composers. He also was fussy about particular details, such as how many coffee beans were in his coffee and wearing a corset at all time, except when he was asleep. All in all, he was a proper Austrian aristocrat with as much pride for his country as possible.
And as a proper Austrian, the fact the Academy didn't have a music club of (apart from the Choral Club, led by the lovely Miss Ukraine, Katyusha. However, that didn't count, singing is not playing a musical any sort instrument, in Roderich's mind) came down as an appalling shock to him. Even worse was how other bizarre clubs in the Academy existed, such as the Magic Club and the Elephant Appreciation Club. In fact, the lack of normal clubs in the Academy was indeed concerning. In the order to restore some normality to the academy and for the love of music, he decided to form WA's first Music Club, and because of his talents as a skilled musician and able composer, as well as being the founder, he declared himself as club president.
Roderich went through all the formalities, such as filling in forms and finding a clubroom with his teachers, the next job was finding members.
Being the classy man he was, Roderich decided to post invitations to all he wished to attend his club, including his roommate Honda Kiku, a serious Japanese man. However, out of the few people he deemed wor—err, invited, only two responded and with a 'no' were Ludwig and Kiku, who both intended to start a newspaper club along with Feliciano, an air-headed Italian. Their declines didn't bother Roderich much, he was pleased that they replied at the least, unlike the rest who didn't, and he politely wished them luck with their newspaper. Ludwig even proposed to advertise the Music Club in the paper, but the Austrian responded with, "Maybe later."
Still, he was now in a pinch. With only one member in his club, the club could likely be terminated. Much like Feli's clubs would have been if the Headteacher wasn't his grandfather. Roderich didn't want that, in fact he dreaded it, and much to his chagrin, he went to directly ask people this time, hoping it might be harder to decline him this time. He asked the representative of Switzerland, Vash and Miss Hungary, Elizabeta, even people like Lovino (representative of South Italy) and the easy-going Spanish man, Antonio. Again, people refused to join. In the end, there was only one person he could ask, Gilbert, the self-proclaimed 'awesome' representative of the Kingdom of Prussia.
A/N: This is my first fanfic published here, so hi, . I guess I don't know what to say. Um, favourite, follows and reviews would be gratefully appreciated. Oh, and my writing does improve from this chapter (well, I sincerely hope it does), as well as the chapters being (on average) longer. This was written ages ago, and I've never found the motivation to rewrite it (sorry ^^;). Prussia's in the next chapter, if that makes you all happier.
