Water Bucket

'Bruder… Why do you hate me?' Ludwig thought as he stared at the bucket of cold water balanced on the top of the door. His light blue eyes rarely ever missed a thing and the bucket was no exception, especially since it was a bright red against the white door.

'What should I do?' He could push the door open, stand back and then the bucket would fall to the ground. But… It would also hurt Gilbert's feelings that his prank didn't work on Ludwig.

'Gilbert… The things I do for you,' Ludwig thought as he stepped forward, took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The bucket fell, cold water splashing all over him. His blonde hair stuck to the sides of his face and his eyes widened slightly at how freezing the water was.

Ludwig stood there for a moment, registering what just happened. Then he turned around and yelled, "GILBERT!"

The sound of his brother laughing made Ludwig smile.

He wiped the smile off his face and ran down the stairs into the living room where his brother was, lounging on the couch.

"Dummkopf! What did I ever do to you?" Ludwig glared at Gilbert.

"Kesesese!" was all Ludwig got out of his albino brother as he inspected his handy work. In other words, how wet Ludwig was.

Ludwig sighed and turned to go back up the stairs and take a shower. As he took a step, he was suddenly pulled back.

"Ah!"

He crashed into Gilbert's side. His brother put an arm around him and continued to watch the television which was playing a football game.

'Tsundere…' Ludwig immediately thought, looking up at his brother. He remembered the word from his friend, Kiku. The Japanese boy had been explaining how Alfred's older brother, Arthur was a tsundere.

"Bruder…"

"Luddy, you smell like a wet dog. Kesesesese!"

"I'll kill you!"
