So yeah! Once again I am being an idiot and adding another fanfiction though I already have two in the works. It's just I watch Rise of the Guradians recently and loved it sooo much that it just kind of deserved this, though it is a cross over with Hetalia I have another one that I am probably going to work on some more before posting that will just be Rise of the Guardians.
And we can already guess that I don't own either because at the moment I am somewhat broke...
You know I've always been bothered by one question. One question that, if it could ever be answered, may make my life just that much simpler.
The question? Why did I live?
Me, a selfish, good-for-nothing coward did what even the great Roman Empire couldn't.
What even my grandfather Germania couldn't do and what every other nation will never be able to survive.
Even after my country had been ripped right out from under me I stayed, though I waited and waited for the day I would vanish it has yet to come and it probably never will.
The Tuetonic Knights, Prussia, and for a short, and painful, while Russia's Kalingrad, whatever you wanted to call me, survived what none have been able to.
I really only wish I knew why...
I sighed staring solemnly out my frosted window to the full moon, it was nights like this that I could feel the connection between me and the unreachable object peak. I never could quite explain my bond with the moon but I have always known that it is there and that it would never disappear like so many other things in my life had and were. Even now I was becoming just a quickly diminshing after thought in all my old friends head, it seem that the longer I was not Prussia, the smaller my presense in other peoples lives were becoming. The only thing I really had to hold onto anymore was the moon and it's constant comforting presence, even with all the people in my life that had come and gone, leaving their own scars and wounds in their place, the moon would always be there.
The silent but reassuring companionship it gave was something that I had never found in real life, not to say that I didn't try, I always had.
Leaning back onto the matress that, despite me laying there for a few moments now, was still as cold as it had been when I had flopped onto it the first time, I tilted my head away from the ceiling and frowned. Down the hall I could hear Lud- Germany was still up, most likely doing paperwork if the thin wisp of flipping papers and the dull scratching of a pencil was anything to go by.
If only he would take a break for a while,
I thought brushing my pristine white bangs out of my eyes where the wind had droppped them, It can't be good at all to work 24/7 like he does, that and it can't be fun at all. My head hurt just thinking about it and my hands twitched with the need to do something fun, prank someone, run through the house singing Christmas carols as loud as I could until Germany came to yell at me. As my thoughts continued my head lolled to the side, the crimson red of my eyes reflecting in the window, Maybe I could go into town and see-
My eyes widened as my mind finally caught up to what my eyes had been witnessing outside, while I had been wrapped up in my plans it had begun to snow outside. SNOW!
A huge smile lit up my face, not my usually confident, mischevious one either, no a geniune joyful smile that would match a child's if compared. I jumped out of the bed, not like I was getting to sleep anytime soon anyway, and nearly fell out the window in my haste to reach it and pull the panes open.
Because you see just like the moon had made itself known as my constant companion, the snow was more of a fleeting friends, amazing and fun while it was here but very depressing when you realized it would only be there for so long before leaving again. Back in the days when I had been a prisoner in Russia's house, the virgin white snow had been the only thing that kept me sane on the days I could catch a glimpse of it through the barred windows.
Leaning as far as I could out the window without taking a nose dive, I felt the wind ruffle my hair as the little growing snow flakes mingled with my hair and froze on my eyelashes. Winter was always my favorite months of the year, mostly because it was very difficult for me to go outside during the spring and summer months, something that everybody just grouped with his albinism.
Deciding to have some fun, I dragged enough snow off the windowsill to create a small snowball, tossing it in my palm to make sure it held together and was sure to pack a punch, I darted out of the room and down the hall. In my makeshift charge I almost missed the door I was aiming to go through, spinning at the last second I yanked the door open and chucked the ball as hard as I could at the unsuspecting victim.
"GAH! GILBERT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Growled a now very irked Germany...oops?
WIth the fact that that may not have been my best plan ever, I bolted back towards my room and took a flying leap out the window, knowing for certain that this way the other would never follow me. Feeling my fall go from terrfingly fast to slow and peaceful in seconds made my breath rush from me in relief. I have jumped out of many windows and off many rooves in my time as a country and though I have yet to have a bad landing, I'm still afraid of the day that it fails me.
Feeling a thin layer of snow crunch under my socked feet as I touched down lightly onto the frozen ground, I smiled and slowly began to peel the offending garments off my feet. Wiggling my now freed toes in the crystal white frost, I felt the smile on my face stretch into an excited grin.
"As beautiful as ever," I complimented the forest and the faint clicking of barren branches against each other was the only answer I got as per usual but I always felt the need to say something. Especially now, when the normally pure forest was made even more innocent by the virgin white snow adorning it's grounds and branches.
I let out a deep breath and reveled in the clear air that filled my lungs as I took a smaller breath, the terrible truth of my slowly vanishing life gone for the moment with the wind that swirled around me, "If only I had a purpose like you do, something that people would see and say 'hey he did that', I just want to exist again..."
Aww... so I just though that this would be more of a prologue and in case you were wondering I will mostly follow the movie though some parts will have to change to fit with the new turn of events.
So tell me what you think, if you think anything of it at all.
So... until next chapter~
Bye
