chapter 10

Italy's POV

I couldn't believe it. Gilbert was not only alive, but he hadn't told his baby brother who was attempting to starve himself to death from grief! Needless to say I was not a very happy Italian. Don't get me wrong, the relief that washed over when I first knew he was reincarnated as east Germany was enormous, but that only lasted a few minutes, now however, I was furious with the nation for not relieving his brother's guilt and grief. Boy was gilbert surprised when instead of a 'welcome back to the living' hug, he got a string of Italian cuss words and a fist to the jaw.

"Scheisse! vhat vas that for!" he cursed cradling his jaw, as Canada sent me a look that clearly said 'behave yourself, I already whacked him a good one.' Ignoring this look, I went on with my planned rant, lord knows he deserves it.

"gilbert Belshmidt! Do you know how depressed your brother has been!? It was a struggle for me to keep him from starving himself to death for the first week you where gone! Do you know how much he blamed himself!? Huh!? You do not even deserve this! You are going to get in my car and go apologize now, do you understand me!?" I said in the most intimidating voice a tiny man who only weighs about a hundred and forty pounds can muster, and by the look on his face it was working. As I walked out of the house I heard Matthew trying to supress giggles as Arthur whispered, 'Gil looked about to wet himself'.

Ludwig POV

The cold shower that I was forced to endure after Feli left could only be described as torture. It was nothing new for me, as when we had first started living together I found myself taking the daily, (honestly, who thinks of it as appropriate to sneak into an unmarried mans bed in nothing but your boxers!?) but since our relationship had begun I had -ahem- other methods to take care of things. who knew that man was so talented with his tongue?

Now, there where many things that I had expected to see upon walking into the front room. Gilbird yes, Germany and Italy cat doing unsavory things yes. my dead brother being dragged into the house by my sexily angry lovers hold on his ear, however was not one of them.

"Ow ow OW, CHRIST FEI I GET IT, YOUR MAD BUT PLEASE LET GO OF MY EAR, IT HURTS!" he yelled, limbs flailing as Feliciano threw him into the couch. Turning around angrily, only to spot me.

"P-Prussia?" was all I could manage, despite my best efforts, tears where bubbling in the corner of my eyes. This was so humiliating, I am Germany, Germany does not cry, especially not in front of his 'awesome' big brother.

"Hey Luddy, you miss me?" he laughed awkwardly, causing Feli to growl and cuff him upside the head.

"Ow! Ludwig control your man, he's fucking violent!" he cried indignantly, and I couldn't help but laugh, as the tears broke through the dam and flowed freely down my face. "dummkopf." I said with a smile as I went to hug my brother. It was okay to be affectionate when your brother comes back from the dead, I decided.

-that evening-

Gilbert explained everything to me, though I was still confused. I didn't care, I was just glad to have my brother back. Was the last of my living relatives, he was all I had since I woke in the strange field. He explained that when he returned, all he remembered was Matthew, and wanting to keep him safe. Only slowly regaining bits and pieces of his other memories. By the time he had his full memory back, he was discovered by Arthur and dragged home by Feliciano. I was a bit sad that he didn't remember me at first, but it warmed my heart to know that my brother cared so deeply about Matthew. Gilbert called Matthew to reassure him that he was okay, and was going to begin living with his brother again, before going up to bed. leaving me alone with Feli. We sat in silence, just cuddled up against each other for a good twenty minutes before,

"Luddy?"

It was Feli. "Ja?"

"you okay?" he asked, moving so he could see my face.

"about what Gilbert did?"

"ya." He confirmed.

"im just glad he's alive." I answer honestly.

"I know." He said, cuddling into me, "I was just checking cuz, if you weren't okay, I was gonna kick his butt."

I laughed heartily, "you were, were you?"

"Nobody upsets my doitsu…" he yawned into my chest, nodding off.

I smiled, nuzzling the top of his head as he rested.

"Luddy?"

"Ja?"

"can you carry me to bed? im too tired."

I chuckled softly before picking him up bridal style, "Ja."

We were halfway up the stairs, and I noticed Feli was almost asleep.

"Feli?"

"Sì?"

"Ich leibe dich."

He smiled, eyes still closed and nuzzled closer into my chest. "ti amo anch'io, Ludwig."
