Rating: PG
Warnings: First attempt in this fandom. Drabbley. Sad. I did my best at spell check and grammar check but there might be mistakes.
Summary: After WW II, Japan is quietly recovering. Germany comes for a visit.

He was healing.
The pain was much more bearable now, although he still cried silently every time the bandages had to be changed and vomited every now and then.
Japan was healing.
Two days ago Ludwig came for a visit. The man was still limping, but looked fairly good, considering. He brought strudels, only a few, neatly packaged in a small white box.
"I wish I could bring more," he apologized, "but it seems that we've been short on everything lately. Gas, flour, meat…"
Money, Kiku mentally added, noticing the old, battered shoes and the washed-out civilian clothes his friend was now wearing. Germany looked smaller, thinner, and his sharp blue eyes seemed to have lost that dagger-like edge that used to be so intimidating. Losing a war could do that to you.
"Feli will come next week," Ludwig stood up slowly, wincing as his bad leg protested, and held Kiku's hand, "Take good care of yourself."
Germany's hands pressed slightly and Japan needed all his willpower to keep the tears at bay.
They were still big, strong and warm, those hands.
Ludwig. Oh, Ludwig.
Author's note: this was my first attempt at AHP fic. Hope it's not too bad. And yeah, Kiku's wounds refer to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
