Chapter 13: Behold the Awesome Me!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN.
...
"Kesesese~! It's fun talking with them!" Gilbert said with a happy smile. "You should invite me earlier, Kiku!"
"I'm sorry. I don't know that you are into this kind of thing, Gilbert-kun." Kiku said calmly. "Anyway, I think you're doing quite well."
"This is the awesome me, you're talking about!" Gilbert hissed and laughed.
"We'll be doing this for a week, though. Are you prepared?" The twins asked cynically, but Gilbert seemed to reply with just a normal tone. As the club activities started to end, the other club members started to clean up the room before leaving. Gilbert wanted to lend a hand as well, but his cellphone rang. He picked it up, and it would seem that he received an email. He looked satisfied when he saw the email. Kiku noticed Gilbert's reaction and thus walked to approach him.
"What's wrong, Gilbert-kun? You looked happy."
"Hehe! Look at this!" He showed the email to Kiku. The latter took the cellphone and read it. The sender was...
"Oh, from Ludwig-san?"
"Yeah! He said that he'll try to come here in near time!"
"That's a good idea!" Kiku stopped talking when he noticed a weird use of word in Gilbert's statement. "Wait, he'll "try"?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you? Well-" However, before Gilbert continued, Hikaru called the two of them. "Hey you two. We're gonna close the room!"
Kiku noticed Hikaru's calling. "Oh, right!" He turned to face Gilbert. "Gilbert-kun, let's continue this later."
"Ah, oh, right." He flustered.
...
...
In the end , Kiku and Gilbert didn't talk about the thing during their way back home, since Gilbert was busy walking around, sight-seeing the country. Thus Kiku didn't have the chance to ask him back. The two Nations (not two actually, one and one former Nation) went back home to Kiku's government quarters. Kiku's boss said that Gilbert could stay in the quarters by using a guest room since hotels were pricey. "Hey, welcome back you two!" He said to the coming-home Nations.
"We're back." Kiku bowed.
"Why don't you take a bath? The workers already prepared a nice bath."
"Really!? I haven't been taking a Japanese bath at all! Kiku, can I take the first dip!?"
Kiku chuckled nervously. "Alright. I still have home works to do anyway."
"Kesesese~! Danke, Kiku! Where's the way to the bath!?" Gilbert soon walked down the hall as he looked around happily. When the situation finally went silent, Kiku sighed a bit and his boss talked to Kiku as if he had forgotten something.
"Oh yes, Japan. There's a package addressed to you. There's no sender, but it's written, to Kiku Honda."
Kiku turned to his boss and went into a deep thinking. "Must be someone from the West. If it's from someone in Asia, then the order must be Eastern-style. Where did you put it, sir?"
"It's in your room. I don't open it, don't worry."
Kiku went back to his room in a rush. He opened the door into his room, and indeed there was a box inside the room. It was a brown-covered box with the words: To Kiku Honda, written on the top. The address was indeed his house. He opened the brown cover, wanting to look the things inside the package. Once the box was opened, Kiku found a letter and a plastic bag, full of everyday clothes. Kiku was confused since he noticed that the clothes inside wouldn't fit. In fact, they were probably too big for him. His attention went to the letter he held.
...
To Kiku, Japan.
Guten abend, Kiku. I figure that it will be evening by the time this letter reached you. How is bruder on that side? I sent you some of his casual clothes since he often brought military clothes no matter where he went. Since he's on a vacation, I think he might need a more casual clothes rather than military clothes. Please give this to him. I sent this to you since I don't know where he would stay. Well, I hope that bruder won't be a trouble over there. Despite his expression, he usually overexerts himself for no reason... I'll leave him to your hands for now. I'll try to come over there too when I have the time. Ich danke Ihnen sehr, Kiku.
Ludwig Beilschmidt, Germany.
...
Kiku folded the letter and put it inside the box again. "I supposed I have to give these clothes to Prussia-kun..."
He exited the room, carrying the box to Prussia's room. He knocked the door, but it would seem that Prussia had not finished taking the bath yet. He was there for a few minutes, until Prussia went out of the bathroom, wearing a simple pajama and a towel covering his hair. He looked so refreshed. He noticed Japan in front of his room and thus said his greetings. "Hey, Japan! I may call you that here, right?"
"Y-yes... We're in the government quarters anyway, so calling each other with our Nation name is fine... But..."
"But?"
"Um, Prussia-kun? Why don't you dry your hair first? Oh, and..." Japan handed Prussia the box he carried around.
The latter checked around the box and looked happy. He grinned, tapped Japan's shoulder and then opened the door to his room. "Come inside, Japan!" He invited Japan to come into his room. The latter only nodded nervously.
Prussia's room was no different than any other guest room since he didn't make much change. He put the box on a table and examined the things inside it. He quickly took out the clothes and laughed. "West surely knows what I need! He really needs to mind his own business for a while!"
After that, he took the letter and read it, but not until few seconds, he gave the letter to Japan. The latter was confused by his actions. "Huh? Prussia-kun, I can't-"
"Come on, take it! It's addressed to you, after all! I can't keep a letter that is addressed to someone else!" He said with a grin. "Isn't this a normal common sense?"
Japan nodded a bit, nervously. As Prussia was busy arranging the clothes, Japan suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, Prussia-kun. About the talk this afternoon..."
Hearing this, Prussia stopped doing what he was doing and started to talk. "Oh, about that? Well, to tell you the truth, I'm the one who wanted to go on a vacation."
"Huh?"
"Kesesese~! It's super boring in my home and I sneezed all the time! That's why I want to have a change of environment a bit! Then, I heard from Ita-chan and his brother about your friends, so I came here!" He grabbed another plastic bag from inside the box. "Whoa! He even sent a food for my little bird! This is so West-like!"
Japan only sighed when he heard this. "That is so like you, Prussia-kun."
Prussia only hissed and chuckled happily. However, despite Prussia's laugh and happy expression, Japan couldn't help but worrying about the contents inside Germany's letter inside the box earlier. He knew something else. This is not the end... I felt that something bigger is about to happen. What is the real reason behind all of this?
...

The next day came, and Gilbert seemed to enjoy the whole Host Club thingy. The theme for his Guest Host event was the Military Days. Thus he got to wear military costumes provided by the club. He chose a hooded white robe with an iron cross. Seeing this, Kiku soon remembered the reason why he chose the outfit. "Kesesese! How is it? Does it fit me?"
"You look like a kid-boss, Gilbert-kun." Haruhi said.
"Fits you really well, Gil-chan!" Honey said enthusiastically. "You look like a real soldier!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this outfit comes from the Medieval times right? I think it's the..." Before Haruhi finished her sentence, Gilbert talked first. "The Teutonic Knights!"
"Oh, right! That was the name before it became the Kingdom of Prussia."
"You're quite good in history, Gilbert-kun." Kyouya said.
"Well, I'm from Germany after all! This kind of history is just my thing!" Gilbert laughed.
Soon after that, Kiku looked at a clock in the room. "Oh, it's almost time for the club activities."
"Well then, everyone! Get on your position, it's our time to shine!" Tamaki ordered as they prepared the setups for the room.

A/N: The second chapter of our Easygoing Arc. I really had a hard time making this arc. I already had made the outskirts of the arc, but I needed more chapters in order to pull this through. Thanks for waiting and hope you enjoy!
