Pairing: Gilbert Beilschmidt x Roderich Edelstein (Prussia x Austria)
Summary: A collection of short drabbles in a human AU based upon the posts from 'Imagine Your OTP'
Warnings: Some chapters may contain adult content.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or any related ideas. This is all just for fun and entertainment here.
A/N: I just wanted to put a little introduction to explain this collection and give a little bit of back story. This is going to be an ongoing collection of short stories inspired by the Tumblr 'Imagine Your OTP'. If you haven't checked it out, you definitely should. These stories will focus on PruAus. They will all be based in an AU setting inspired by an RP with a very good friend of mine.
This is a human AU where Gilbert and Roderich both attend university. Gilbert is an astrophysics major and Roderich majors in music performance and composition. They're already together, though the individual stories will take place at random points in their relationship. I'll try to give some kind of indication as to when in their unversity career they take place.
Christmas Break, Year 3
"Gilbert Beilschmidt you get back here right now!" Roderich's irritated voice cut through the cold night air loudly enough to make him wince at the sound of his own voice. He certainly didn't wish to disturb those in their homes (probably sleeping) on the quiet street. "Now!" He hissed, eyes fixed on his idiot of a boyfriend. Said boyfriend was presently attempting his way across a long stretch of monkey bars. This would have been easier were he not the slightest bit drunk, and were he not trying to hold onto freezing metal bars with no gloves.
"But, Roddy," Came the protest. "I'm almost there!" Gilbert insisted. He reached out for the next bar and promptly fell on to his butt onto the snowy wood chips. He blinked stupidly as if he was quite unsure of how he even managed to get there.
"I told you to come back." Roderich said, his tone superior as he walked over to the fallen German. He reached out a hand to help him up, getting him to his feet. He attempted to release him then before he was suddenly swept up with Gilbert still holding the one hand, his other going to rest on Roderich's waist. "Gil ... Gilbert what are you doing?" He demanded as the other started swaying with him in what he supposed was an attempt to dance.
"Dancing." Gilbert supplied, confirming his suspicions. Roderich swore he had absolutely no sense of rhythm at all.
"And just why are we dan-"
"Shhh." Roderich was silenced with a kiss. "Cause we can." Gilbert chuckled, leaning his forehead against the other's. "Because it's eleven-thirty at night and everyone's asleep and this playground is all ours." He added. "Because I love you and I feel like it." He paused then as if to give another reason thought. "And because ..."
Roderich was a bit taken aback by the sudden (drunken) sentiment and briefly gave in to the other's sudden mood. "And because ...?" He prompted.
"And because ..." He took a deep breath. "You're it!" Gilbert cried and gave Roderich a forceful pat on the shoulder before taking off across the playground, snickering his entire way. And after a moment of bewildered staring, Roderich ran after him, allowing himself to get caught up in the moment. He followed the sounds of snickering, rounding the tube slide and skidded to a halt. He looked around, puzzled. He didn't see Gilbert anywhere. He frowned then, worrying that something may have happened. "Gil ...?" He called, looking past the park into the tiny parking lot. "Gil where a-AHHHH!" He let out a shriek as something - someone grabbed his leg.
He nearly fell over in shock when Gilbert popped his head out of the slide, laughing near uncontrollably. He near cackled, half out of the slide, one hand clutching Roderich's pants leg. "I'm not even sorry!" He howled. "Your face ... oh god, you should have seen ... You screamed!" He cried, actual tears in his eyes.
Roderich pulled away in a huff. "That isn't funny, Gilbert!" He snapped, only just calming down from the scare. "You worried me!" He scolded, cheeks flaming red.
"Aw, Roddy ..." Gilbert struggled to get out of the slide, actually falling out before getting to his feet. "Aw, don't be mad. I was just playing with you." He put his arms around the Austrian, snickering to himself at the way Roderich staunchly refused to respond to the embrace.
"You're an idiot." Roderich scoffed, earning a laugh from Gilbert.
"Yeah, that's true." Gilbert said, looking pleased with himself. "But I'm your idiot." He grinned and leaned in for a kiss, which Roderich responded to easily.
A/N (2): Thank you so much for reading! Two updates in one day - you guys excited? I wanted to get this up tonight for a friend. I'll update this sporadically but I do promise not to abandon 'Mein Bruder' or 'Attachment to Letting Go'. The next chapter of 'Mein Bruder' should be out in the next few days!
