The don't notice you until it's too late

by DolmaafAmlod

Gilbert knows he's not welcome or wanted at the World Meeting with his status as Nation being removed. But he decides to at least say one final thing at one of those meetings before he quits bothering him. Short and kinda sad and character death.

Don't give me constructive critisism.

"Goodmorning Gilbert"

I turn around to my friends but I can't bring myself to smile at them.

"Morning."

"What are you doing here?"

People wont notice something is wrong until it's already too late.

I shrugg.

"Nothing much."

"You know your brother will nag if you crash another meeting."

I shrugg.

"Doesn't matter."

Francis smiles.

"When do you ever?"

You can secretly die inside for years over without a single soul noticing.

"How are you doing, amigo."

"Fine I guess."

"I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am!"

"That's great Toni. Does that mean Lovi likes you?"

"Si! We're going on a date tonight!"

"Nice done Toni."

It doesn't matter if your close or not.

They don't seem to notice the monotone tone I'm using. We enter the meeting room.

People look at me in annoyance. Ludwig sighs.

"Bruder, I've told you this meeting is for nations!"

I shrugged non-caringly.

No one notices if you suffer.

"Don't worry so much Luddy. I just wanna watch."

Arthur scoffs.

"You expect us to believe that."

I roll my eyes.

"Fine, I was gonna ask if I could just say a little something before we start today? I'll leave right after."

Strangers don't care. Friends don't know.

I direct the question to Ludwig. Annoyed grumbles erupt around me. I wonder what they are expecting. Elizaveta glares at me. Roderich looks at me in disgust. Ivan smiles at me. Ludwig sighs.

"Fine, but make it quick."

They don't want you to be sad, so they pretend you are not.

I stroll to the front and wait for everyone to sit. A moment the words catch in my throat. Romano groans in annoyance. I have my hands buried within the pocket of my hoodie. How much longer can I take this?

"Yo, Prussia, yah gonna say sumthin or what? The hero is waiting!" Alfred yells.

I just keep looking.

Your sadness only brings them trouble.

"Mon Ami, is everything alright?" Francis asks.

"Si you don't look too well." Antonio says.

I pull out the gun from my pocket and raise it slowly.

"All nations fall in the end."

Ludwig sigh in annoyance.

They don't want to be bothered by such a burden.

"Ja Bruder, but you didn't so your awesome. Is that all?"

I shake my head just as the gun comes into view. Francis and Antonio frown.

"I was never awesome."

You can love someone till the heart breaks.

The cold metal feels nice against my temple. I smile a sad smile at my two best friends. They don't seem to understand. I allow tears to fall.

But in the end, there's only one way out.
