Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It can't be true
That I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky
Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Ludwig put a hand over his face and closed his eyes blocking the words he was just told out of his mind, he didn't want to hear it, didn't want them to be true. They couldn't be true but the possibility of them being so made him feel like the world was crumbling to pieces. It was bad enough he'd lost the war but this, this he couldn't handle. There was no way his brother could be dying, no way he could accept this. But he saw the proof he didn't want right in front of him when he walked into Gilbert's room that night.
The albino was laying in his bed skin frighteningly pale, blood staining the corners of his mouth, lush white eye lashes wet with tears. The tears of an angel.
Germany didn't know what to do, how to react, as he watched the older man, wiping away the tears on his perfect white face. He wished time would stop wished time would go back because nothing seemed right to him anymore. Nothing made sense. All he knew was that he wasn't going to let the Prussian die, he wasn't ready to say goodbye, he never would be. Gilbert was the most important thing in the world to him. He was more than a brother, a mentor, a friend or even a lover. He was his world and he wasn't going to loose him, he couldn't loose him.
Germany didn't notice he was crying until he felt cold fingers brush the tears away from his eyes just as he had done earlier. Opening eye he hadn't known he closed to look at Gilbert he saw the man smiling softly at him "Be strong Bruder." he whispered voice raspy "There's still hope, I'm still here after all." he forced himself to sit up and had Ludwig move so that when he laid back down he was laying on his lap with the Germans strong arms wrapped around him "Lass mich nicht gehen kleine." he whispered before his eyes slid shut and he went limp.
"Nein, nein Bruder come back you cant leave me." Ludwig cried hugging his dead body close, petting his silver hair and crying into it. This was a lie, this was a lie. He didn't want to accept it but as he lifted his crying eyes to look at the window at the suddenly falling rain a small smile graced his face. Those were raindrops those were the tears of the angles morning with him and he knew that his angel was up there crying along with them. Even they weren't together now they'd be together again soon and he could wipe away the tears on an angel once more.
I hope you all know I cried very hard while I was writing this. But it had to be done I had been toying with the idea and the song came on my ipod and i had the inspiration so here you go. I wrote it how I saw it play out in my head as I listened to the song and this is what I came up with I hope you enjoyed it even though its sad and Gilbert died.
