"come on, Ludwig. Say, vater." Fritz said softly, bouncing the small boy on his knee. He smiled as he saw his Preußen walk through the door, noticing the smirk on his face.
"Pu-lease, Fritz. There is no way that squirt over there is going to say vater yet." He walked over to Ludwig and his king, kneeling down so he was equal with the child. "You might as well say something though."
"Preußen, there is no way young Ludwig is going to speak on his bruder's command."
"Well he should!" The Prussian hissed, a teasing glint in his eyes. He felt something tug his hair, and looked at the youngest member of their house. His little bruder, as he tugged at the older nations hair. His ruby eyes bore into the ocean blue ones of the small child.
"Preußen, be fair to the young one." Fritz scolded gently, wagging his finger at the nation. "He is only two years old!"
"Yeah? I was speaking from the moment I was born!"
"Preußen...he isn't a natural-born nation as you were. He is only human..." Fritz said, sorrow filling his eyes.
"So you brought a human here?!" Prussia yelped, jumping away from the two mortal members of the household.
"Gilbert. He is a child!" Fritz began to raise his voice, "I am getting fed up of this...of this...arrogance...that you are displaying since your young bruder-"
Gilbert held up his hand, stopping the man mid-sentence. "You expect me to accept this...kid...into my home, my life, my family without a thought?! Fritz, it doesn't work like that and you know it." He sighed, "I'm not going over this with you again, because it makes me tired and wanting to go to war once again. As was the reason last time."
Fritz stood, placing young Ludwig on his feet gently. He walked out of the room, his breathing rapid and harsh. Gilbert watched without a word, tears of anguish and anger filling them. He turned his back on the door as it was slammed shut, his back shook with silent sobs as the once great nation was crumbling emotionally. He wiped his eyes, feeling his shirt being pulled, "what do you want from me?" Prussia growled, looking down at Ludwig furiously.
"b-b-b" Ludwig stammered, a pout on his lips as he tried to speak for the first time. "B-B!"
"B? What the hell is B?" Prussia snapped, not happy at all.
"B-Bru...der..."
Eyes widening, the albino nation stood in shock. He stared, "What was that?"
"B-Bru...der...Bru...der...Bruder!" Ludwig beamed, proud of his first spoken word in his language.
Bruder...He just said bruder! Gilbert thought, eyes wide. He smiled, hand reaching down and ruffling the small one's hair, "Good job kid...you done good for your first word."
But, this wasn't the only surprise.
"I-Ich li-ebe dich, mein Bruder." Ludwig said slowly, hugging the taller male.
"Mein bruder... Ich liebe dich." Prussia said softly, kneeling down and picking up the small child. He turned his head at the sound of a happy gasp, seeing Frederick at the door with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Preußen!" Fritz gasped, "His first words, and they're for you!" He exclaimed, walking over in short steps. "Do you see now? He needs a big brother...but if you don't want to be...i'm sure he'll live."
"Not be his bruder? Now that's stupid. Of course i'll be his bruder!" Gilbert grinned, as if he'd never refused the offer before.
"Ich liebe dich, Ludwig."
Chapter 4 is done!
