Chapter 8: Reunion

They arrived at Ludwig's house in Gilbert's car. (Alfred had been staying at Ludwig's while Gilbert was recovering, so he thought it wouldn't hurt to borrow Gil's car.) Gilbert could see that Alfred wasn't exaggerating when he said that everyone was waiting. Everyone was there, even Ivan. Gilbert was a bit shocked to see Ivan, but it wasn't Ivan who tortured him. As a matter of fact, Ivan came over and gave Gilbert a hug that rivaled Alfred's.

Gilbert walked to the back yard where Feliciano was flirting with some girls. Feli saw Gilbert and hugged Gilbert too. "Gilbert! You're a-back! I made-a some pasta for you~!" The Prussian couldn't help but smile. Feliciano went back to his flirting and shortly after, Gilbert was tackled.

"Amigo! We have missed you so much!" Antonio laughed. Francis pulled Antonio off of Gilbert. "Pardon Antonio. He's been so anxious for your return. Now, how about a hug for your friends, eh?" Francis pulled them into a group hug. "Keseseseses~ This makes me so happy, seeing everyone here to celebrate the awesome me!" Francis looked at Gilbert in shock, but quickly smiled. "Oh, it speaks~!" Gilbert pulled himself out of the group hug to find the one person he was looking for. He found him grilling an assortment of food for the others. Gilbert wrapped his arms around him, causing him to tense up.

"Feliciano, I'm busy. Go bother someone else."

"Nope, wrong answer, West."

Ludwig turned around, shocked expression on his face. "Gilbert?

"Keseseseseses~ The one and only~ Now, how 'bout an awesome hug for your awesome big bruder, huh?"

Ludwig rolled his eyes and hugged him and then quickly went back to grilling before the food burnt. No one wanted England-type food, now did they.

In the kitchen, Kiku, Yao, Sadik, and Lovino were also cooking. Yao, Sadik, and Lovi were too busy cooking to notice Gil, but Kiku noticed him and bowed before getting back to his white rice.

Gilbert yawned and decided to find somewhere to take a nap. He found an empty bedroom and fell asleep. When he woke up, he discovered a certain American sleeping next to him. His blonde hair was messed up and his glasses were on crooked. There was a small smile on his face, like he was seeing a bunch of baby animals. In a way, Alfred kind of looked cute. It seemed that Alfred had the same effect that Feliciano had because Gilbert couldn't help but smile. He quickly and quietly got off the bed, careful enough to not wake the sleeping American.


A/N

Ok, admit it. Alfred sleeping like that is totally adorable! And I couldn't see Ivan torturing Gilbert so I decided to make him a big teddy bear in this! As pastaaddict said in a review, things certainly are looking up for Gilbert! Don't get your hopes up yet! It is not over! I liked the idea of Lovino in the kitchen and I don't know why. I have a feeling he would make a mean pizza or something. Anyways, reviews, favs, and follows are welcome and appreciated. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and are enjoying the story so far.
