It's a peaceful meeting the next day. There are less screaming fights and more productivity, for once. Gilbert whispers snide comment to him throughout people talking. He listens to his music in one ear and writes down notes every so often when a good point is made. Gilbert is exceeding in being annoying by tapping his pen to the table. Klaus is very much enjoying the angry glares sent his counterpart's way, glares that Gilbert is either ignoring or has no idea are actually happening. Probably ignoring. However, he figures it's time to stop Gilbert before Luciano throws a knife at him.

He moves over his MP3, switching the side the earbud is on. Gilbert's eyes flicker to the motion and smile breaks across his face. Klaus hands the other earbud to Gilbert who scooches his chair closer. He's practically bouncing in his seat. Klaus snickers and starts a song. They listen to together bobbing their heads to the beat. Klaus makes sure to not play any of his secret recordings. God only knows what Gilbert would do if he found out Klaus had his voice saved for him to hear.


Gilbert is so happy. He loves it when Klaus shares his music. When he found out Klaus listened to his MP3 during meetings he thought it the best thing his silent counterpart could do. He's been dying to get his hands on Klaus's MP3. His music taste is great and Gilbert really loves the selection. But Klaus always tells him no when he asks to borrow it. It bugs him. Somehow Klaus can resist his awesome pouting face.

He smirks over at his counterpart. He reaches over a hand and twirls the end of Klaus's low pony tail around one of his fingers. Klaus's hair is longer than his. Gilbert likes to play with it. Klaus rolls his eyes, completely used to the action. He snickers. The fact that Klaus is just so accepting of him makes him happy. Gilbert likes to have people physically close to him, so having a counterpart that doesn't mind random hugs or touches is very awesome. He releases the strands and pulls out a small sandwich from his briefcase, hiding his bites behind the table. He rips off a pieces of the bread and lifts it up for his awesome Gilbird to eat.

When he first met his counterpart, he didn't really know how to handle him having blue eyes. Being mute has been a bit weird, but not as weird as the eyes. He quickly figured out when Gilbird accepted the presence of another Prussia that having a counterpart wouldn't be so bad. He can pull pranks with someone. He could finally figure out how he looked in that pair of jeans.

He looked good.

Gilbert lifts his arms over his head and stretches, a little whimper escaping him. Klaus snorts. He really likes making Klaus laugh. He knows how much his counterpart has gone through. One of the times he stole Klaus away from sleep, they talked about nothing but their past empires. He had gotten drunk during the conversation, but he remembers the sadness in Klaus's face. Especially since he started crying. Klaus thought for sure he would disappear, but Lutz had saved him. That made Klaus cry harder. It almost made Gilbert cry too. He didn't understand how siblings couldn't like each other. They hugged it out. Sharing parts of the same history made it easier for him to get along with his counterpart.

The meeting is called and Gilbert lets out a sigh in relief. It's not that he doesn't like the meetings. He's pretty glad to be included in them, mainly for Ludwig's sake. His brother had asked him to come to the meetings, saying Gilbert needs to start being more involved in the country affairs. Gilbert knows it's cause his little brother needs his awesome advice when things get difficult.

"I'm so tireeedddd," he moans as they exit the conference hall. He didn't go to bed when Ludwig told him to. Instead he stayed up late editing pictures for his blog. Klaus rolls his eyes and signs out to him.

Maybe you should go to bed earlier. Gilbert scoffs at the idea. He doesn't need to go to bed earlier. The meetings should start later. Klaus rolls his MP3 back up into his pocket and starts walking away from him. He gets a brilliant idea. He sneaks up behind Klaus. Without warning he drops low and wraps his arms around his counterpart, then lifts him up to carry him bridal style. Gilbert laughs loud as Klaus begins to struggle in his arms.

"Yo keep struggling I might just drop you and that wouldn't be awesome." Gilbert is all out cackling as he carries his counterpart back to the hotel. Klaus holds tight to him. Gilbird lands and nestles into Klaus's stomach, making Gilbert laugh again. He rambles on about how boring the meetings are and what he could be doing with his time instead, all the pranks he could pull or all the people he could bug. Eventually Klaus relaxes enough in his arms to move his hands to chest to sign to Gilbert to talk back to him.

He likes Klaus a lot. He decided that after their first all Germany meeting. Klaus had blown an air horn in Lutz's ear for ignoring him. He thought it the funniest thing much to Ludwig's dismay. It's not that he doesn't like Lutz, he likes his brother's counterpart fine. But the look on his face when the horn went off was awesome. He and Klaus definitely got along better than their brothers did. Hell, he and Klaus got along better than most of the nations did with their counterparts at first. Some of the others started fighting immediately while he and Klaus just kind of watched and laughed at them all. Of course now there are a few exceptions. Namely the Italys and Canadas. Gilbert loves seeing Feliciano and Matthew happy. He's known both of them for so long, their smiles make him smile. He's still a bit worried over Feliciano being with the scary knife thrower, but if the kid is happy, hey, he's happy.

"So yeah, when are we getting food because I am starving," Gilbert finagles through the hotel door, Klaus still in his arms. He drops his counterpart as they get closer to their rooms. Klaus signs out he doesn't know when they should get food but that he's hungry too. Gilbert pouts again. He wants to eat. He begs Klaus to spend time with him, play video games or watch TV or something. After a minute of reluctance, Klaus agrees but only after he changes his clothes. He lets out a whoop in excitement. He loves spending time with Klaus.


Klaus pulls off his stuffy professional shirt. He never did like constricting clothing. He pulls on a hoodie over his plain jeans and heads across the hallway to knock on Gilbert's door. He's almost positive Al has something to do with why the counterparts are put close together. Before his fist hits the wood the door bursts open and Gilbert tackles him in a hug, lifting him off the ground to spin him in a circle. Klaus hugs him back, a huge smile on his face. Gilbert carries him into the room, pure joy on his face when he tells Klaus that he found a super awesome video on the internet and that he just has to see it. Klaus just rolls his eyes.

He loves spending time with Gilbert. His excitable counterpart lights up the room, brings energy to it. They watch plenty of videos on youtube before Ludwig calls them for dinner. They all head out after Klaus manages to get Lutz out of bed. Gilbert dominates the conversation during dinner, with Lutz interjecting snide comments most often. Gilbert turns to Klaus every now and then, so he can 'speak'. It's a pleasant evening. One that Klaus ends, once again, by listening to Gilbert's laugh on his MP3.


AN: Welp, taadaa! I hope you're all enjoying this. Yay for Gilbert's point of view!
