The next morning Ivan found himself on his bed with a wet towel on his forehead. Ivan sat up and looked around, noticing a few differences to how he had left it the last time he was in there.

It was messy. The used to be clean room now had piles of his clothes scattered across the floor. As well as empty dishes and a glass of water on his table next to his bed.

The last thing he noticed was a chair pulled up to the side of his bed with a sleeping Gilbert curled up on it.

Ivan chuckled, then stood up and walked around over to Gilbert. He grabbed a blanket off the floor and wrapped it around the shivering nation.

After a moment of staring at Gilbert, Ivan bent over and kissed him on the forehead. Ivan noticed a small smile appear across Gilbert's lips. Ivan looked away and blushed. Slowly, Ivan made his way back into his bed and fell asleep.

A few hours later Gilbert woke up, noticing the blanket that was wrapped around him. He looked over at Ivan who was sound asleep and looked better than he had earlier. Gilbert caught himself smiling and then started blushing.

Gilbert noticed the mess he had made. He sighed, knowing he would have to start cleaning and the sooner the better, right? Gilbert started picking up around the room.

About 5 minutes passed before Gilbert decided he was too awesome (lazy) to clean anymore than he already had.

Gilbert looked over at Ivan, who was still asleep. He sighed, and then decided to leave the room.

After walking through the halls aimlessly for a few minutes, Gilbert decided to look for Raivis, Toris, or Eduard to talk to.

Only a minute later Gilbert ran into Toris. "Hey! Lithuania!" Gilbert ran up to Toris. "I'm bored." Toris wasn't sure if he was supposed to say something or not.

"Entertain me~!" Toris looked away nervously. "And how am I supposed to do that?" Gilbert smirked, making Toris even more nervous.

"Let's go chuck snowballs at Russia! And then he'll wake up and chase us and we can keep chucking them at him because he's sick and can't keep up! It'll be awesome!" Toris sounded like he made a "gah!" noise before he lost all color in his face and fainted.

"...Lithuania?" Gilbert felt a strong and large hand land on his shoulder. Gilbert turned around nervously.

"What were you gonna do again, da?" Gilbert was met with the eyes of Ivan. He tried averting his gaze to elsewhere but something kept pulling him back into Ivan's violet eyes.

"Kesesese! I knew you were there the whole time! I'm just that awesome~" Ivan moved his hand from Gilbert's shoulder and stopped leaning down at Gilbert's eye level.

"I'm going back to bed." Ivan started walking back to his room but was stopped by Gilbert who had grabbed onto Ivan's hand. Ivan turned and looked at Gilbert with wide eyes of shock. Gilbert looked away quickly and blushed. "D-do you need anything...?"

Ivan smiled. "No, I'm fine. Well... actually... no. never mind." Ivan started to turn away again, but was stopped by Gilbert grabbing his hand once again. This time he spoke without looking away or letting go.

"What is it? I... want to help..." Ivan smirked. "Promise you'll do whatever it is I ask?" Gilbert reluctantly nodded his head. "Good... It's so lonely just sleeping in bed all alone. Won't you come with me, da?"

Gilbert looked uncertain of what to do. Ivan started to walk away, pulling Gilbert (who was still holding his hand) with him.

They reached Ivan's room and walked in. Gilbert let go of Ivan's hand. Ivan just shrugged and got in his bed and started to sleep, knowing Gilbert would just leave.

Ivan felt the bed move and looked over next to him. Gilbert was facing the other direction, but you could tell his ears were all red.

"T-the awesome me wouldn't go back on his word!" Ivan smiled, then wrapped his arm around Gilbert's torso and laid his head on Gilbert's back.

"H-hey! G-get off of me!" Ivan, in response, wiggled his head 'no' and fell asleep.

0000000

Gilbert slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the ceiling, studying it, remembering all the events that had occurred the day before.

Gilbert noticed something move in the corner of his eye and quickly shot his head to the side, bumping heads with Ivan. Gilbert jumped up in bed and Ivan slowly sat up.

"What was that for?" Ivan started rubbing his eyes. Gilbert was shocked at how cute he looked, but quickly snapped out of it. "W-why were you so c-close to me!"

Ivan looked confused for a moment, then remembered what he was talking about. "We slept together, remember, da?" Gilbert blushed. "D-don't say it like that! I'm leaving!" With that Gilbert walked (more like stomped) out the door, leaving Ivan alone and confused.

0000000

Ivan was no longer sick, but Gilbert... has a fever of over 100...

"ACHOO!" Gilbert was rolled up in a ball and under three covers. "THIS IS NOT AWESOME! How could I possibly catch a cold!" Ivan was sitting in a chair next to him, smiling.

"You should have been more careful, da." Gilbert stuck his head out from beneath the covers. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!" Ivan rubbed the back of his head and looked around the Gilbert's room.

There was a Prussian flag hanging up in Gilbert's room. How did it even get there? He didn't have it when he moved in, did he?

Suddenly, Ivan felt something grab his ankle. He looked down and noticed it was Gilbert, who looked terrible, his face was pink, he had bags under his eyes, and he was sweaty.

"May I help you, da?" Gilbert stared at Ivan a little before responding. "W-water..." Ivan smirked. "So you do need my help, da? Earlier you were refusing me to help at all, da?"Gilbert looked away and blushed from embarrassment.

"Please... j-just get me some water..." Gilbert took a glance at Ivan, who was smiling at him. "And what's in it for me?" Gilbert's mouth opened in shock.

"W-what the hell!" Ivan chuckled and then stood up. "It was a joke, da?" Ivan left the room and Gilbert fell asleep.
