Understanding

A/N Sorry it's been such a long time since I updated, I've been a bit busy lately…

I'll try to update more often! Thank you again for reading and please do review, it would mean a lot to me.

Austria P.O.V

How can I expect to understand him if I don't understand myself?

It began to become obvious that Roderich didn't really know what he was doing.

No, it wasn't because he was on autopilot every day. Something just seemed to be missing.

Like a reason behind each action that he did. Or the way he would act around Gilbert.

Austria knew that he wasn't really kind to many, but he also noticed that he was definitely meaner around Gilbert.

And there would always be this guilt that awakened inside of him when he looked into Prussia's hurt eyes.

Then there were random days when he tried to be discreetly kind to Gilbert.

Those were a lot fewer and the actions were really small. Usually, it would include making lunch for Prussia or listening (partially) to Gilbert's long rants.

The good actions certainly don't balance the bad, but still, Roderich didn't know what to think of both. It caused him to doubt in his hate for Gilbert, which wasn't really good.

Because it caused confusion. And no one likes being confused with feelings towards what was supposed annoying enemy of some sort.

But he didn't want to admit to enjoying Gilbert's presence either.

He is going to be the end of me…

And of course, Gilbert had to magically appear while Roderich sat in front of the piano contemplating the great mysteries of life.

"Kesesese…Been thinking of me?"

Austria jumped, and probably would have fallen off his chair, if Gilbert hadn't caught him

Gilbert cast a worried glance at him, and probably would have asked if he was alright, if Roderich hadn't ran out of the piano room.

No, Gilbert wasn't very predictable or easy to understand.

But Roderich had an odd feeling that he was worse in that area.
