Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own Axis Powers Hetalia :(

"Officer Carreido! You're barely on time again!" A muscular blonde with hair slicked back roared annoyingly.

"Ahaha~ I'm sorry, Ludwig!" Antonio scratched the back of his neck sheepishly as he entered the police meeting room.

"Please remember that I have my brother to take care of!" Ludwig exclaimed. "Anyway, there aren't any announcements today. Patrolling as usual."

"Geez, I'm not a kid anymore, Ludwig." An Albino appeared behind his brother and supported his elbow on Ludwig's shoulder.

"But you act like one!" Ludwig replied, dragging his brother out of the headquarters for their daily patrol duty.

"Bye Antonio! Remember, tonight at Devil's Love!" With a grin plastered on his face, the Albino waved Antonio goodbye.

"Bye Gilbert!~"

"Brother! Would you just do your job seriously for once?" Ludwig chided, pulling his brother away from a random woman that he flirted with.

"Come one, bro. You really need to get laid, you're already 21. Are you gonna wait till your dick rots off then you start panicking?" Gilbert put his hands up in a mocking manner, wearing a smug look on his face.

"I believe that I do not need a partner currently, I still want to focus on my job." Ludwig sighed. Why couldn't his brother just stop talking about love affairs?

"You're just full of excuses, bro…" Gilbert shook his head helplessly. "You don't seem to be interested in women… Don't tell me…" Gilbert halted his steps, raised one of his eyebrows and started to examine Ludwig from head to toe questioningly. Ludwig looked back at his brother and did an epic facepalm.

"I'm just not interested in those matters now!" Ludwig stormed away from his childish brother and continued his patrol, clearly tired of his constant questioning about his love life. Gilbert merely shook his head again; commenting about how un-awesome his brother was being and soon caught up with him.

The two policemen patrolled around the stalls and shops before proceeding to their last patrol area, the park. As usual, the park was full of kids and their families relaxing during the weekends. The only difference is that the young brunette around Ludwig's age, who normally would be drawing or painting the sceneries found in the park. The brunette was currently squatting in front of a tree, his odd curl dangling at the side like always. Full of curiosity, the duo decided to check things out.

"Vee… What should I do with them…?" The brunette sounded worried and tilted his head slightly to the left.

"Sir? May we help you?"

"Vee?" The brunette turned to look at the two Germans. His hair was light chocolate colour with a curl to the side; his thin eyebrows gave prominent to his nose. The brunette had a slightly slender frame and his clothes gave off an Italian feel that gave away his nationality. His eyes… Wait, they are closed?

"Ah! Its about these two poor things here…" The brunette said while he turned his attention back to what he was talking about. It seems like its owners have disowned them… I'm thinking of keeping the cat… But the dog… My brother hates dogs…" The brunette looked down, feeling sad and helpless.

"Leave the dog to the awesome me and my brother!" Gilbert exclaimed excitedly and placed a fist on his chest proudly.

"Brother! We already have Leben* at home! You still want more?"

"Come on! Leben is always so lonely and bored at home alone! Wouldn't it be great for it to have a friend? Besides, its so saddening to see Leben whining to the awesome me."

"That's because you forget to feed her everytime!"

"Anyway, we're keeping this dog!" Gilbert said proudly.

"Really? Thank you so much! Grazie!" The brunette reached out to hug the brothers to express his gratitude, which made Ludwig blush and left Gilbert snickering at his brother.

"So, what's your awesome name? Mine's Gilbert, you can just call me awesome though, and this is my lil' bro Ludwig. You guys should exchange numbers for further- Ouch! What was that for?" Ludwig had punched Gilbert's arm to prevent him from sprouting rubbish any further.

"I'm Feliciano Vargas! Just call me Feliciano!" Feliciano beamed as he picked out the cat from the box. "I'm sorry, I have to rush home now, goodbye and thanks, Gilbert and Ludwig!" Feliciano waved goodbye with his free hand and ran back home.

"Bye!~" Gilbert smiled. What a cute Italian guy. He turned to Ludwig, only to find that Ludwig was still staring at the direction Feliciano went off.

"Uh-oh~ He won't come back no matter how hard you stare~" Gilbert teased and Ludwig's face heated up instantly.

"Who was the one who said that he wasn't interested in love?~"

Ludwig's face grew even redder and decided to ignore his brother, picked up the box that the dog was in and headed back to the police headquarters to knock off.

"My little brother is finally falling in love~" Gilbert sneered.
