I'm so sorry! I always get sidetracked from writing this story, and then it takes me about a week to write the chapter, and then I feel bad making you all wait again, so I don't revise it, and end up having many errors. I'm really sorry, guys! The last chapter was really lame. I'm not too pleased with it. But anyway, I'm awake with plenty of coffee to get me through the night! Enjoy chapter 4!

Gilbert awoke to someone gently shaking him from his slumber. He slowly opened his eyes, only to meet the gaze of two violet ones, gazing back.

"Hnng, Roddy, what time is it?" The albino slurred his words as he buried his head under a pillow.

"It's eight o' clock. Get up before breakfast gets cold." Roderich ordered, as he watched Gilbert sit up abruptly.

"Breakfast?"

"Yes, I made breakfast."

"What kind of breakfast?"

"Eggs, wurst, potatoes, and some fruit." Roderich replied. The albino seemed to be contemplating rather he should sleep or eat breakfast. The brunette assumed he had decided on the latter, as he got up and trudged into the kitchen. Roderich followed him, persuading Gilbert to sit down and let himself serve them. The Austrian, after dividing the prepared food evenly, sat down next to the albino. An undesirable tension filled the air, as the two ate in silence.

"Thanks for making breakfast. It's really good." Gilbert finally spoke, before obnoxiously shoving a large bite of eggs into his mouth.

"It was no problem." The Austrian replied, not knowing whether he should be amused or disgusted.

"So, em, Roddy.. Are you busy today?"

"I have to go to work in thirty minutes."

"What? Do you work constantly?"

"I have to. I need the money."

Gilbert stuffed a bite of potatoes in his mouth, and before chewing, said "Yeah, but don't you have any free time?"

"I can't afford leisure." Roderich stated, before sighing, "Gilbert, don't talk with your mouth full." The brunette took his napkin and wiped several crumbs off of the albino's face.

"Oh, Roddy-poo doesn't like messes?" Gilbert flashed a grin, his eyes gleaming with mal intent, and picked up a piece of sausage and chucked it at the Austrian, hitting him on the cheek.

"Gilbert!" The Austrian yelled, before he was pelted yet again with various bits of food. Roderich's eyes narrowed dangerously, before he seized an entire wurst, and chucked it straight at the Prussian's laughing face. Gilbert stared at the brunette for a second, stunned, before breaking into another devilish smirk. He grabbed an egg, which was prepared over easy, unfortunately, and tossed it at the offending Austrian.

The egg splattered across the front of Roderich's shirt. The Austrian took one look at his shirt, before shooting Gilbert a murderous glare. Gilbert otherwise would've laughed, but found himself intimidated. That's a first. The Prussian shot up from his seat and tried to get away, only getting as far as the living room (in which he slept), before he was tackled to the ground by Roderich. The two toppled onto a recliner, overturning it in the process, hitting the ground with a loud thud.

"Looks like Roddy likes to play rough." Gilbert purred, before rolling over and pinning Roderich to the back of the fallen chair. The Austrian's face flushed, but his scowl remained. Gilbert was laughing, that is, until The Austrian lifted up his knee abruptly, hitting a certain place on the albino's body that should not be struck in such a way. He fell over in pain, clutching his crotch.

The brunette clapped his hands over his mouth, before scrambling over to his fallen friend. "I didn't mean to knee you there!" Roderich began, before the Gilbert gathered his breath.

"If you're sorry, you can always kiss it for me~!" The Prussian burst out laughing, before Roderich threateningly placed his heel over Gilbert's.. ahem.. sensitive area.

It was just then that there was a knock on the door. Without thinking, the albino yelled, "Come in! It's open!" forgetting completely about how utterly wrong their current position looked.

The door to the apartment swung open, revealing various faces of his neighbors, each sporting a different facial expression. Vash, the Swiss man who lived above Gilbert, was beyond pissed, and was even brandishing his favorite shotgun. Ludwig looked horrified, while Feliciano, who was clutching his arm, was completely oblivious, as usual. Francis just had that perverted leer on his face.

"Gilbert was getting a bit too rough and loud with Roderich, non?" The Frenchman purred, causing the albino to shoot him an 'I'm-gonna-have-your-ass-if-you-don't-shut-up' look.

"Gilbert, I don't want to know what you were doing with Roderich, but please, keep it down." Ludwig said, a bit awkwardly. Roderich regained as much of his dignity as possible, before standing up and brushing himself off, ignoring the large yellow stain on the front of his shirt. He cleared his throat.

"I am extremely sorry for the disruption. I will make sure, to the best of my ability, that it doesn't happen again."

Vash snorted. "Finally! Someone with some manners!" With this, the Swiss man stormed off, muttering angrily to himself about rude neighbors. Feliciano, who was still extremely tired, wandered back to his own room.

Ludwig turned back to the pair. "Roderich, you're not going to work today are you? I'm pretty sure Ivan would understand- "

"Ludwig, I can't afford, no, we can't afford a day off. We have to pay for food, our apartment, and just… "

"Live with me. Both of you. I can rent an extra bed for myself, and it'll be easier on all of us. We can all pitch in to pay the rent." Gilbert decided. Ludwig and Roderich stared at him.

"Gilbert that's very nice of you and all but-"

"But what?"

Roderich paused. There wasn't really anything really wrong with the idea itself... It just seemed wrong.

"Are you sure?" Ludwig asked, obviously as surprised as, if not more than, Roderich.

"Guys, I'm pretty sure I owe this to you all, after, y'know.."

Roderich and Ludwig both shuddered at the reference.

"Gilbert, we forgave you, you don't have to make it up to us."

"Yeah, I know, but I'm going to, whether you want me to or not!" The Prussian grinned, throwing his arms around the pair's shoulders. Roderich and Ludwig both smiled, happy that they could be together again, just like they used to be.

A/N: Ello~! I did a quick look over, but I'm pretty sure there are more errors. I'm seriously sorry you guys. One day I will need to get a beta to improve my stories. I just really don't have the time with all these exams and such. But, soon, summer will come, and I will have gratuitous amounts of leisure to dedicate to this story, so maybe it will stop sucking royally. I think that this story could be much better if I could put in more time and effort, of which I am seriously lacking, into it. I highly doubt I will have an update too soon, but I'm going to start writing these down in my journal, so that I can at least have SOMETHING to start from. Kisses~
