Ludwig groaned. Everything was quickly becoming a disaster. Gilbert had been gone for months now. Every call, every text were all ignored by the older brother. Ludwig was now sitting on his living room couch with a sleeping Feliciano beside him, quietly snoring.
"Vhat am I to do?" Ludwig asked himself out loud. He looked over to his little lover. Feli twitched some in his sleep, before shifting around. Sighing a bit, Ludwig picked up the smaller nation bridal style, and carried him to their shared room. After setting Feli in bed, Ludwig turned to put his pajamas on.
"Ve~ Luddy, what s going on?" Feli yawned, having been woken from being moved.
"Nozhing, I vas just bringing you down to bed."
"Oh, alright." Feliciano turned over on his side, wrapping himself in the deep blue comforter. Ludwig got into bed as well and opened his arms for Feli to crawl into them. "Do you think they re okay?"
"I hope so,"
The two finally fell asleep wrapped around each other.

"No! I don t wanna go to bed!" Peter shouted, jumping on his bed. His new Spider Man pajama bottoms where just a smidge too long for him tripped him on his last jump, causing him to land on the floor with a thump.
"Oof!"
"Peter, be more careful!"
"But Mama," Peter giggled. Madeline just huffed in response. "Peter, you were supposed to be in bed an hour ago. Why are you still up?" She was going to say more, but a pair of pale arms slithered around her waist; effectively stopping her mid breath.
"Geez Maddie, lighten up." Gilbert said, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"G-Gil!" Madeline blushed a bright red at the sudden touch. This just caused Peter and Gilbert to burst out in laughter. "Let him stay up; if he can that is." Gilbert s tone was mocking and Peter bit at the bait.
"I will, I'll stay up all night!" Peter exclaimed.
"Oh no you won't. We have plans tomorrow and I am not going to be dragging your tired butt around. Now, time for bed." Maddie detached herself from Gilbert's arm, missing said man's hurt expression.
"Fine," pouted Peter. Once he was all tucked in, Madeline went over to the door and hit the light.
"Good night Peter,"
"Night Mama, Papa."
"Night buddy," Gilbert closed the door. Out in the hall Madeline leaned up against the wall with a tired expression, "I thought he' d never get to sleep." She closed her eyes and sighed. Seconds later, she felt something against her cheek. Her eyes flew open at the touch. "Gil?"
"I vant to try somezhing," Madeline froze when Gil's lips touched her own. Seconds flew by, then she melted. One hand grabbed the back of Gilbert's head, the other found his shirt. Gilbert moaned lowly and used his free hand to grip her hip. They broke away panting.
"Maddie, I am s-"
"Don't apologize. I liked it." Madeline smiled. Gilbert stared at her, then gave a shy smile of his own, "Awesome,"

"Hey, has anyone felt something off around here?"
"Shut your trap Alfred, it's too late for your bothersome questions."
"Oh Arthur, be nicer to the boy." Francis, Arthur, and Alfred were sitting down in their living room relaxing for the night. Francis had to hide his shock. He would never have thought that Alfred would be perceptive enough to notice anything. He had known when Madeline left and went living in her own apartment. Hell, he even knew where the apartment was! Francis looked at Alfred, "Yes Alfred, you seem to be correct. Something is off around here."
"Right?" Alfred polished off his soda before crushing the can.
"I have no idea what you two are blabbering about. I am going to sleep." Arthur pulled himself off Francis' lap and went into the kitchen to rinse out his teacup. Only when he had walked up the stairs did the others talk again.
"Mon petit Alfred, I must be going to sleep as well." He stood and washed out his wine glass. As he was walking up the stairs, he heard Alfred talk to no one, "Yeah, I m going to find what it is."

Berwald sighed as he unlocked his front door. He had just spent the whole day in meaningless meetings and was looking forward to a nice hot meal, a shower, and cuddling up with his wife in bed.
"Tino, I am home." He called. No sound greeted him which was odd in the usually loud house. "Tino?" he tried again, Losing his tie and dropping his briefcase, Berwald started to search the house. Supper wasn't done, it wasn't even started. Odd.
Walking down the hall, he noticed that a bucket of cleaning supplies on the bathroom counter and a vacuum outside one of the spare rooms. Tino was usually long done with cleaning at this hour. Berwald opened the door to the room, and saw two things at once. One, Tino was on the floor in tears, clutching a teddy bear; and two, many things in the room looking like they belong to a young boy.
"Tino, are you okay? What is all this?" Berwald asked as he sank down to his knees to hold his wife.
"What have we done?" Tino whispered.
