Chapter 1
Cheer up!
Berlin, Germany
It's spring! The snow started melting away and the flowers started blooming across the field. Trees got their leaves back and many animals had just woke up from their long hibernation. Everything is beautiful in Germany except for the silver-haired albino's frustrating face looking over the window. He seemed to be distressed with something to start a whole new year.
"Hey Bruder, what's with that ugly face?" the blonde brother asked.
"It's not ugly…and I'm too awesome to have that kind of face, you know! See?...!" he begun smiling, returning to his usual annoying-happy-go-lucky self.
"You know, just because Prussia got dissolved as a country, it doesn't mean you don't exist anymore." The blonde added.
"Ja! I know…I know! I'm too awesome to disappear so easily….and besides, no one can't resist my awesomeness if they want me out of the list" the other man added.
"…I get it! I get it…and enough saying that 'awesome' word. You've been saying it for ages and I'm gettin' sick of it." He mumbled.
"HEY! The 'AWESOME' word is not infectious for you to get sick of…and I won't stop saying it because that's just the awesome me." the crimson-eyed albino argued with his brother like a seven-year old kid.
The blonde sighed. "Well anyway, enough nonsense chit-chat. What has been bothering you so early in the morning?"
"It's none of your business big guy! I'm awesome. I can handle it on my own." he yelped.
"Well….something really is been bothering you. Whatever it is, you can ask or my help though."
"I'm good, West. Really! No need to get so worried." the Prussian assured.
"Ja, if you insist. I'll be out for a while to visit that brat."
"Okay, West…see yah around later."
"You too, bruder".
Right after the blonde German closed the door, Gilbert sighed heavily as his glare returned to the mysterious note received from an anonymous sender.
"The single hand that wipes your tears during failures is much better than the countless hands that come together to clap your success."
Did West wrote this? he thought to himself.
Or could it be from Liz? blushing from that thought.
"The handwriting isn't familiar though. It can't be those two. It's pretty fancy. Unless, they asked somebody to write for them! Hah! Awesome! Yeah! T-that's it!...right?" the Prussian thoughtlessly said aloud.
He's still wondering who would dare to send this to him…surely not Russia. Damn that dude! Putting a lot of scars over my awesome body. He used to be the great Prussia before his downfall. Many nations feared him…hah! Especially that pansy aristocrat, Austria…and many would look up to him…kesesese, just like West. But now that he was dissolved, he find it difficult to accept this fact and move on. Good thing, he had his brother, Ludwig by his side to continue things as they used to be.
"Alright then, whoever you are, you did cheer me up! The awesome me is now ay-okay!" he said to himself then his pet bird, Gilbird chirped along with him on top of the window frame.
"Hey buddy! You're back being the cute chick again? But I still think you're waaaaay too awesome now than being that black bird…and cute too!" Gilbert said, trying to comfort his own buddy. Gilbird has been with him all his life aside from Ludwig, of course. He shared his pain, sorrow, glorious victory and happiness with him. Just a simple chirp from the bird as response to him will already cheer him up.
"Come on buddy, let's go visit Francis!"
