Antonio and Arthur sat on the ship together drinking. It had been 2 weeks since the boys dissapeared and they still had no sign of them. "I miss my Lovino. Its all your fault you stupid rat." Antonio said glaring at the British man next to him. "MY fault? If you hadn't ordered your stupid attack then we wouldn't be here looking for two kids that might be dead already!" Arthur snapped back. "You killed one of my men! I was trying to get by peacefully but you went and shot him. And I dont ever want to hear you say that my Lovi is dead. I know he's okay you-" Antonio stopped talking and looked at Arthur. He was crying? No way. "What now?" He asked annoyed. "My Alfred is gone, he's only four years old he shouldn't be all alone. This was supposed to be a nice trip to see his brother but now he's gone. He could be dead already and it's all my fault," Arthur continued to cry with his head on his hands. Antonio broke, his lovi was always alone since he was a toddler. His lovi never got to see his brother. His Lovi could've been dead because he chose his pride as a pirate over the safety of his henchman- no, his son. Lovino had always been more of a son. He stood up and walked away in silence. He would keep looking tomorrow but he was too depressed to go on today.
Gilbert lead the two small boys towards his house. He opened the door and let them inside before closing the door. "Ludwig, ich bin zuhause." (Im, home) Once Gilbert had spoken a small boy, about 8 years old walked into the room. "Bruder, du bist spä-" (brother, youre late-) he stopped and looked at the two boys that stood behind his brother. The smaller blonde smiled and waved while the older one looked down. "Ludwig sie sind Alfred und Lovino." He said as he gestured towards to two boys. Alfred looked at the blonde boy. His hair was bright like his Francis' and he had light blue eyes just like his own. The boy just looked at them as he waved slowly. "Dies ist Ludwig. Er ist mein bruder." Lovino and Alfred understood the word bruder as brother and they looked at the small boy who still just kept looking. Gilbert led the two small boys into the bathroom and gestured to the big tub. "Wie über ein bad?" (How about a bath?) The two boys nodded happily and Gilbert started the bath. He poured in a soap and the tub filled with bubbles. The two boys undressed and Gilbert helped Al into the tub while Lovino climbed in himself. The two boys relaxed into the warm water, Gilbert gave Lovino a wash cloth to clean himself and began to wash Alfred's hair. After he was done he let the two boys enjoy the bath while he started on dinner. After afew minutes he came back with towels. He gave them both some of Ludwigs old bloomers and one of Ludwigs shirts to Alfred and one of his own shirts to Lovino. Though Lovino and Ludwig were the same age, he figured a larger shirt would be more comfortable to sleep in for the two of them.
The two went downstairs and sat on the table as Gilbert set down plates. Ludwig was already sitting there quietly eating his food. "Hello Ludwig, I'm Alfred. Your big brother is really nice!" Al said as he smiled towards the blonde. The blonde only gave a small smile. "He can't understand you Al. They speak a weird language. " Lovino said as he took a bite out of the potatoes on the plate. Gilbert sat down with cups of juice for the three boys and a beer for himself. "Thank you, Mr . Gilbert," Al said as he began to shovel the food into his mouth. Gilbert only smiled at small boy. 'This one sure is adorable. The other one is cute too but I dont think he likes me' he thought to himself. "Bruder, woher kommen sie?" (Where are they from?) Ludwig asked. Gilbert pondered for a moment. "Ich weiß es nicht. Ich fand sie allein in der regen." (I dont know. I found them alone in the rain.) Ludwig nodded and looked back at the two boys that ate the food like they were starving. "Er kommt mir bekannt." (He looks familiar to me) gilbert said as he steathily pointed towards Lovino. "Bis ich herausfinden, warum, werden sei bei uns bleiben." (Until I find out why, they are going to stay with us) Gilbert said as they finished up their dinner. He put the boys to sleep onto his bed and left to wash the dishes.
"Lovino, this man is really nice, huh?" Al said as they laid under the big blanket. "Yeah, but I want to be with my brother and Antonio. He promised he was going to be here for my birthday tomorrow but he won't be." Lovino said as he held back tears. "Im sure Antonio will come back. I miss Arthur and my brother too. Maybe we can tell Gilbert to taked us back."Al suggested. "He cant even understand us." "We can draw a picture. " Lovino thought about it. Maybe they can. The two boys fell asleep and Gilbert slept on the couch, he had a long day and was really worn out.
The next morning he was awoken by a heavy pressure on his chest and someone pulling on his cheek. He opened his eyes and saw a small Alfred sitting on his chest looking down at him. "Ja?" He said still half asleep. "Can we make Lovino a birthday cake?" Al said excitededly. Oh right, this kid doesn't speak German. Gilbert sat up and Al rolled down from his chest onto his lap landing with his feet up in the air. "Leider kind, was?" (Sorry kid, what?) He asked sleepily. Alfred puffed his cheeks before rolling off the couch and looking around. He went up to the German and placed his palm up before looking like he was writing on something. Gilbert caught on and brought a pencil and paper to the small boy. He sat down and watched the boy draw vigorously onto the paper before holding it up for him to see. Gilbert inspected the paper and noticed a bad drawing of Lovino with a cake and presents and balloons. Wow this was bad, he only knew it was Lovino because of the long hair curl. Then again he was 4. "Ist es Lovino's geburtstag?" (Is it Lovino's birthday) He asked and Alfred pointed to the cake on the picture. "Und wollen sie ihm einen kuchen zu machen?" (And you want to make him a cake?) Alfred looked at the white haired man hoping he understood. "Alles klar dann." He said with a wide smile, Alfred smiled in returned before running off. He wouldn't tell Lovino, it will be a surprise.
