Date: Night before the first World Meeting
Tomorrow is the world meeting, or as close to the world as possible. Gott, half of Europe, Russia, China will be able to make it. It'll be interesting, you know? Especially when West tells them who's running the country right now. I expect Bushybrows to go postal. But, maybe he'll have mellowed down a bit. That would be nice. Like Roderich before the disease broke out, he had a fucking stick up his ass.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, I got over my pissed offness about the whole dissolving of Prussia a long time ago. But, gott, even Roderich has calmed down.
Speaking of Specs (better not let him see that) him and I are getting along…well. Very well actually. It's almost like my awesome rubbed off on him. He's a good fighter when he puts his mind into it. Like that time we teamed up against West. Since then, he's come in third or second. Ita-chan is somewhat improving, we just have to hide his flags…still. You'd think he'd have learned by now. But, West lets him get away with it, kind of hard for him not to do that for his boyfriend.
Awesome me wasn't surprised when I heard them one night. I had to cover Roderich's ears so he wouldn't wake up though. The next morning, that was a different story when Ita-chan was walking around naked and Roddy told him to put some clothes on. Feli's response?: 'Doitsu slept naked with me too!'. Gott, West's face, fucking priceless. As was Roderich's, and I was laughing. I actually had to leave before something was thrown at me.
So, those two are together now. Romano found out and it took what little strength Spain had to keep the smaller Italian from hurting bruder. He finally gave his own form of a blessing and that was that.
Spain and Romano are doing good. Antonio came by once and he was so pale…nothing like his normal tan skin. At least he was still alive, if only barely.
Elizabeth came by once, without her frying pan. Oh she didn't seem happy when Ita-chan let slip that Roderich and I share a bed. Her reaction was fucking hilarious now that I think back on it. Then she got that look on her face…
Anyway, concerning Roderich and I, I don't know what you'd call us. Maybe we're together. I don't know. All I know is I feel like some stupid teen with a major crush on that one kid everyone wants but no one can get. So unawesome!
I wonder if he feels like that too…
It's time for bed because we have an early start to what's going to be a very long meeting. I'm quoting Roderich here. Well, I'll write tomorrow after the meeting.
Awesomely yours,
Gil
"Can you shut up for once you goddamned frog!" England hissed out between clenched teeth at the ever dramatic nation avatar of France. Even with how hard his country was hit, somehow he had remained just as annoying and perverted, to Arthur at least. The Englishman slammed his hands on the table and stood, about to throw another insult at the Frenchman when the door opened and in walked Germany, Austria, Italy, and Prussia. All of them besides Italy looking like they had never gotten sick. Not surprising, as their countries were the first to begin recovering. Italy still had a ways to go, still pale and sickly looking, but just as hyper as ever.
"Ve~ England looks like he's going to jump on France." Feliciano said in his normal oblivious way. Green and blue eyes looked at the smiling Italian before greens narrowed and Francis was hit in the back of the head.
"Keep your hands to yourself, gitt." Arthur muttered and sat back down. Now, all eyes were on the German's and Austrian who had entered the room last. More specifically, the eyes were on the scarlet eyed former nation of Prussia. The man stood tall and proud. Not like he didn't always stand like that. But this time, he had the air of authority around him that hadn't been there since the end of World War Two. Taking their seats, Ludwig, Gilbert and Roderich looked from one to the other before Germany cleared his throat and stood, waiting for the go-ahead nod from England. Given the nod, Ludwig cleared his throat again.
"Less than two years ago, a disease broke out from labs in England, Germany and China. We had made this strand to stop what we thought was a new strand that would kill thousands upon thousands of people. We wanted to make the vaccine before it broke out. But, we were the reason it got loose. It is our fault and we all share a part of the blame. Other labs in countries were working on it, but it wasn't developed well and was killed off. But the damage was done. Now we have to pick up the pieces. Friends and family have died and we wallowed in our misery, in self-loathing because what we did made every war before hand pale in comparison." This got some barks and shouts of anger, but Germany held his hand up and waited for the room to quiet before he continued. "We all got sick with our people, we all have to work on moving on though. I-"
"What are you talking about? You and Austria and Gilbert look perfectly fine!" Arthur glared and pointed his finger at each of them. All of them exchanged looks once again and this time, Prussia stood like his brother.
"I have- We have, Gilbert to thank for that. You know he's been helping me since the disease broke out when it comes to German affairs. Now I have to say the truth. Ever since the Wall was torn down, he has had power in Germany." The room was quiet after a collective gasp. Some had suspected, but to hear it. England clenched his fists and Germany passed out a paper to everyone at the table. "From this day on, Germany is split in power once again. My boss and select others have signed this. There will be no arguing. Gilbert is the reason Austria and Germany are still alive and are once again becoming military and political powers." Gilbert nodded his head and kept standing as Germany sat and Arthur stood, completely livid.
"Who the bloody hell do you think you are? Prussia," he pointed his finger at the albino who just kept looking ahead, no smirk on his face. He was completely serious. "Prussia was dissolved by the Allies. East Germany is no longer a country! And here you go, giving the man who caused two World Wars power over a nation!"
"I was like that yes. But I'll be damned England if you think you're better than me. Think of all the people who have died by your hands because of wars or just abandoning your colonies in many places, including Africa. Germany has thrived and people are back to work by my hands, and then by West's hands. Austrian troops and government are falling back into place. You're still picking up the pieces. Try and stop what's already happening, because you won't be able to. Accept it." He said nothing of how "awesome" he is, didn't try and joke. This was Prussia, war Prussia, serious Prussia. Had it been anything other than that, Arthur would have argued, but he was stunned to silence. He was never like this.
"G-Gilbert…Ludwig…" That's all Francis himself was able to get out and now, Austria stood.
"Like the other World Wars, I'm staying with Germany. I still control my government, power has not shifted. We will offer provisions to those who seek them. We are still rebuilding ourselves, but are farther along than most European countries. As the avatar of Austria, we put our support behind the re-establishment of Prussia, East Germany, whatever the people decide to call it once the break is official."
Slowly, England's face had gone red in anger. All this, happening without his knowledge, without anyone's consent outside of those few countries. Part of him knew he couldn't have done much anyway if governments were behind it. But still. He'd heard rumor of their armies and people getting stronger. And now Gilbert was back in power. It couldn't lead to something good. It couldn't. Slowly, he took in a deep breath and let it out, trying and failing to calm himself. He looked at the now three most powerful nations in the room, not seeing them, but Nazi Germany, Nazi Prussia and indifferent Austria.
Spain, having been silent the entire time as he had fallen asleep only heard the tail end of it all. Only heard Austria. That's all he needed to stand and hug his best friend, congratulating him. The smile on his face was big, but his eyes warned anyone, especially England, that if they had a problem with this, the country of Spain would back him. And by default, so would France.
"You watch yourselves. If I get one inkling that you're up to your old habits, you'll be stripped of your power so quickly-"
"We'll block your path first." Ludwig growled out, Arthur turning his attention to Germany. He opened his mouth to speak when the door suddenly burst open. All attention was diverted to the blonde standing in the doorway, his blue eyes bright, hamburger in hand.
"The hero has arrived!" He yelled, his smile fading at the blank looks.
"Ve~ America, Gilbert is a country again!" Was the greeting he got before England spurted out many insults and hugged the nation tightly, very uncharacteristic of him. But he was just so…happy? Relieved? Mad? All of the above? Whatever it was, he just hugged the other tightly, tears of pure joy in his eyes.
Date: The night after the meeting
That went well, I guess. England was pissed when he found out about the fact I was given power, and how many countries already backed me. Things were getting waaaaaaay too tense when America showed up.
Gott, he made England super happy and like five minutes later, Arthur was yelling at him and throwing insult after insult. It was cute really. At least all the attention was off of me.
Alfred congratulated me, but I knew behind his words was the same warning I got from his little boyfriend. They may not be completely official, but I saw them kissing as we all left.
We're in a random hotel right now that's actually open. And-
Roderich just entered. He looks tired…
More countries arrived after America, including Hungary, Sweden, Poland, Greece and Turkey. There were mixed emotions on my being a country again. Liz was the only one of the others that seemed to both care and be happy about the news.
Hey, Roody's looking over my shoulder, reading this as I write.
And now's he's rolling his eyes telling me to not call him "Roddy" and to stop writing everything he say.
But, seeing as how he's reading all of this and won't stop, I guess I should write something I've been wanting to say the past month or so.
Now that I have his interest, I'll leave you guys here.
Awesomely yours,
Gil
P.S. Roderich, I love you.
A/N:
Okay, so I'm working full time now and have such little writing time it makes me want to cry! D:
Anyway, I wanted this chapter to end all light and kind of cliché. I'll leave it up to your minds to decide if Austria saw what was written there until I update next time.
Laughing Rain: I'm glad you enjoyed the 'hide and seek' I had fun writing it, and it truly came out of nowhere.
YourDarkMistress: I love PrusAus too! OTP! Anyway, I like writing them like this and I have an idea of where this is going to go. And, it won't stay this light and happy because my mind needs the angst and it will happen, just have to get to that point.
Rebel-to-Write: Thank you! I'm trying hard to keep them in character, though I think this chapter was OOC in its own way.
