There it was. Only a few yards away. The double doors to the giant grey building stood high above him. To any other person it was just a building. But to the former nation, it was doors to a new experience.
He had certainly gone to meetings before with other countries. But this time, it was with way more. Even enemies sitting near eachother, holding back their anger just for a few hours.
The German brothers walked in, Ludwig leading the way up the stairs. Many countries hung out in the lobby and most of them waited for the elevators. The other nations were surprised to see Prussia walking through the building.
Germany led Prussia to a giant room on the fifth and final floor. A long oval table stretched across the floor. The nations didn't recognize Prussia walking in at first, being to busy unpacking their stuff... Or sleeping for Greece. Soon, the few nations there were chatting up a storm, wondering why Prussia was there.
"Prussia? What are you doing here? It's good to see you." Belgium chirped sweetly.
"I thought these meetings deserved something cool. So, being the awesomeness that I am, I came to spice things up a bit."
Ludwig pulled a chair out of the hallway for his brother and made room for him to sit down.
More countries piled in, all saying greetings to each other. Some being more loud and cheerful than others.
France walked in with Spain, both excited about Prussia's presence. America came in, juggling hamburgers and milkshakes in his arms. The Baltic trio walked in together, watching out for Russia. And Canada sat down next to Gilbert, not being able to smile at this surprise that the German brothers kept secret.
Then, came Austria. His head held high, his clothes on pint, and his strut moving smoothly. He sat down at the table, not caring to look around him.
"Heeeeeeyyy!"
Austria jumped in his chair as Prussia flung his body on the table in front of Roderich. The other nations simply rolled their eyes and chuckled.
"What the-" Austria jumbled through his words, "What are you doing here, you... You-"
"Calm down, Frou Frou. I thought I should stop by. Why should I be left out of the party? If anyone, I should be the one going to these things, not you."
Roderich swung his head to look at Germany a few feet away, "This was your doing wasn't it?!"
Ludwig shuffled the papers in his hands, "There's no reason why he can't come. It's just this once."
"Exactly," Francis agreed, "Don't let this silly rivalry ruin your day."
Prussia slid off the table and fell back into his seat between Germany and Canada.
...
As soon as they all settled around the table, America started off the meeting. They ran over multiple topics. Prussia sat listening obediently, quite enjoying the debates the others had.
"I for one am having little problem with money," Austria put out, "I've learned to save my money for my citizens."
"Ja, and you're also a cheapskate," Gilbert laughed.
Ludwig shook his head and put his hand to his face. Austria gave a look of disgust towards the Prussian.
"You can join us in viewing the meetings, but I will not be able to fathom such stupidity from the likes of you."
"Oh come on, Asstria. It was a joke. Live a little."
Austria chuckled, "At least I am living well."
The room became silent, nobody daring to speak up.
"Hey, you don't have to be so rude!"
"I'm only giving back harsh words that are equal to yours."
"You always have to argue with me, don't you?"
"Prussia, I'm glad you recognize our bitter relationship, but you're the one who started it."
Gilbert groaned, "I shouldn't have ever come here."
"You don't deserve to be here anyway."
A few of the other countries sat still, even Greece woke up at this point. They all knew where this was going to go.
"What does that mean?" Prussia said through gritted teeth.
"I mean, you're not a country anymore. You failed. You should be back home going on your stupid blogs!"
Germany tried to hold back Prussia, "Please, don't do this here. Haven't you two done enough fighting?"
Prussia ignored this speech and stood up from his chair, throwing himself out of his brother's grasp, "Fine then! I'll just leave! Maybe you can remind everyone how much of a failure I've become!"
Gilbert stormed out of the room, and slammed the door behind him. Austria looked down at his papers, knowing that he went too far.
"I'm sorry..."
