Chapter Fourteen

Matthew laughed quietly at his reaction and picked up the Prussian's plate. He went over to the sink to start the dishes. He didn't notice Gilbert sneak up behind him until his hand snuck around his waist. He rested his chin on the Canadian's shoulder watching him.

"Be careful Gil." Canada said slowing his movements to not hurt the albino.

"I'm alright." Prussia said reassuringly kissing him behind the ear. He hummed swaying them slowly trailing more kisses along his neck. "I thought I vorried too much."

"Just making sure you're okay." Canada sighed finishing the last dishes and setting them aside to dry. Most of their dishes were just coffee mugs. He turned around in the albino's arms kissing his forehead.

"I know, Birdie." Gilbert hummed happily pulling him down for a proper kiss. "Ready for bed?"

"Yeah, you should call Ludwig first." Canada said glancing at the clock. It would be a good time for him to call.

"Oh! I completely forgot about West! Jou told him?" Prussia gasped and Blackbird nodded. "I guess I should call him then."

"Yeah." Blackbird hummed. "I'm going to start some laundry. Call me if you need something."

The Canadian kissed his cheek and went to gather laundry. He trusted Prussia not to do anything stupid while he was gone. Kumajirou was following him around as he worked. The polar bear always did when he was doing housework. He didn't help, he normally just got in the way. Matthew had gotten used to it and worked around him. He swore the cub was more like a cat then a bear.

Once he was done putting a load in, he went back upstairs to find Gilbert. He traced his scent into the living room. He was still on the phone speaking happily in German. Canada went over and carefully sat down next to him on the couch. The albino immediately scooted over and leaned into his side as he talked. Matthew smiled and grabbed his laptop off the coffee table. He scrolled through the contracts he'd been sent. None of them really caught his eye and he knew the fund was doing okay anyways. He wouldn't need to do a contract for a few months, but he wouldn't leave it that long.

Prussia talked with his brother for almost an hour until he said good bye. He promised that he'd be 'responsible' before hanging up. Blackbird closed his laptop and set it back on the coffee table.

"How's your side?" The Canadian asked. Gilbert smiled and crawled into his lap wrapping his arms around his neck.

"It's okay. It's not sore or bugging me." He said with a yawn resting his head on Matthew's chest. He gingerly wrapped his arms around Prussia's waist below where he knew the wound was. "Hmmmm, jou're so varm. I'm gonna fall asleep."

"Time for bed?" Blackbird asked biting his lip to keep in a yawn. Gilbert nodded and the Canadian slowly stood up with him in his arms. He cautiously carried him up to bed. He set the albino down and pulled back to get undressed. Prussia grabbed the hoodie he took off and put it on humming at the warmth and his scent.

Blackbird crawled into their bed happy to be home. He very carefully laid down making sure not to jostle the Prussian. He kept his distance from him. Canada was still worried about hurting Gilbert. The albino knew what he was doing and moved closer. He wrapped an arm around his waist and kissed the back of his neck. Matthew relaxed slightly at his touch.

"I'm not that delicate, Liebe." Prussia said lightly trailing his hand down the Canadian's side. "Jou're not going to hurt me."

"I know, I'm just paranoid." Blackbird sighed turning over to face him. The albino smiled gently and kissed his nose. He smiled and giggled. "Je t'aime, mon petit ours."

Prussia smiled hugging Matthew tightly. "Ich liebe dich auch, mein Vogel." He said pressing another light kiss to his forehead. He yawned again and tucked his head under the Canadian's chin. Matthew sighed and tangled their legs together. He hummed happily closing his eyes.

-❄️" Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?"❄️-

The next morning, Canada woke up late as usual. Gilbert was already awake and sitting up doing work in bed. He smiled and gently brushed some hair out of his face seeing he was awake. Matthew hummed tiredly leaning into his touch.

"Morning Birdie." Prussia said as he sat up. He set his papers aside and pulled Canada in for a kiss.

"Have you taken your pills?" He asked as soon as they broke apart. The albino seemed eager this morning.

"Not yet." Gilbert said kissing along his jaw and down Blackbird's neck. His fingers dusted lightly along his sides moving downwards. Matthew caught his hands stopping him.

"Gil, you're still healing." Canada said with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Please, Liebling?" Prussia asked giving him puppy dog eyes. He moved his hands taking Matthew's in his.

"Not yet, just wait a few days." Matthew said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "After your appointment, we'll see."

"Okay." Gilbert grumbled biting his lip.

"Sorry Pooh Bear, I know you're not made of glass." The Canadian said meeting his eyes. "I just don't want to take any chances. Doc said no strenuous activities and I'd say that definitely counts as one." Prussia cracked a small smile at that and nodded. Matthew heard his stomach rumble loudly. "I could make you some sausage for breakfast if you're that eager?" He suggested with a smirk.

"Sausage and eggs do sound pretty good right about now." Gilbert laughed. Canada smiled and rolled out of bed. He went to grab his hoodie, but realized the albino still had it. He just grabbed a new one and put it on as well as a new pair of sweatpants.

The pair went downstairs and Matthew started to cook. Gilbert made a pot of coffee for them and poured them each a mug. He handed one to the Canadian before going to sit at the table.

"Thanks Gilly." Canada hummed taking a sip. He finished cooking and plated his food. He walked over to the kitchen table food in hand and set it down in front of the albino. Matthew sat across from him as Prussia looked down at the food and snorted.

"Oh mein gott." He laughed seeing the shape the Canadian had positioned his eggs and sausage in. "Jou're just teasing me at this point."

"I don't know what you mean." Blackbird said with an innocent smile. Gilbert rolled his eyes and started to eat anyways. He set the albino's pills down next to his coffee.

"Noooo, Birdie!" Prussia whined seeing them. Canada laughed at his face. "I don't vanna!"

"Gilbert, it's only for a few days." The Canadian said pushing them towards him. "Do I have to argue with you every time?"

"No." The Prussian mumbled picking them up with a sigh.

"Thank you, Gilly." Blackbird smiled as he took them. The albino just made a face and chugged the rest of his coffee. He picked up his plate setting it in the sink before grabbing the coffee pot. He poured Prussia and himself another mug. "So, what are you doing today?"

"Vell, I'd love to do jou." Gilbert said with a smile and Matthew rolled his eyes. "But I'd settle for a movie marathon."

"That sounds good to me." Canada hummed. He knew he had work to do, but he could put that off for another while.

AN: These two really have a thing for suggestive sausages.
