DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE READING:
I already put a poll for the next Country to appear. I only have 5 or 6 arcs to go, and it might change depends on my mood and my memory. Japan, Italy Brothers,and England won't be posted in the polls since they already appeared in Beginning Arc, Vacation Arc, and Tsundere Arc. The ones in the polls are some of my already-thought-about countries. Anyway, on to the story!
...
The Host Club members along with Gilbert continued their routine during the event. Most of the girls... no. All of the girls were pleased by the event, especially when Gilbert taught his customers about German History during the Teutonic Knights days. As the customers started to go home and the clubroom started to become empty, Kiku picked his belongings and looked around to search for Gilbert, but he noticed that the latter was not in the room. He was confused so he asked Kyouya since he was keen about things around the room. "Kyouya-senpai, have you seen Gilbert anywhere? I think he was still here during the event."
Kyouya was holding a board and a pencil. "Gilbert-kun? I think I saw him going out just before the room became empty."
"Oh, I see. Thank you very much." Kiku replied and bowed. Then he exited the room.
He looked around the school, and he finally found him at the entrance of the school gate. "Gilbert-kun!" He ran approaching him.
The latter responded to the call and turned back to look at him. "Oh, hey, Kiku!"
"What are you doing? Are you going home earlier?" Kiku said.
"Nah, I just wanted to go to the airport."
"Airport?" Kiku tilted his head. Gilbert showed Kiku his cellphone, which contained a mail. Kiku took the cellphone and read the contents. "Oh, so is this why you are in such a hurry?"
"Of course! My bruder is coming here anyway! I'll have to pick him up!" Gilbert said and laughed.
"Well, I supposed I should accompany you to the airport."
"Alright, danke, Kiku!"
"But please wait until the club activities is over, alright?"
Gilbert gave a thumbs up.

...
International Airport, Night.
"Hey, West! Over here!" Gilbert waved his hand at the arrival lobby towards a man. He was muscled and wore a green military uniform with an iron cross. "You made me waiting for a long while, West!"
"Sorry, bruder. It's good to see you are fine as always." The latter replied.
Kiku bowed towards the man. "Ludwig-san, thank you for coming. It has been a while."
"Maybe that should be my line. Thank you for looking after bruder. I heard from Italy that you are busy with local business, which is why you didn't come to the World Meeting."
"Hey, West! Since you're here for a vacation, I'll show you something good tomorrow! It's an interesting activity!"
"Well, I'll see to it."
Kiku only sweat-dropped since he knew what Gilbert meant. However, he felt relieved somehow since he had met his good friend too.
...
Being Ludwig, he was planning to stay at a hotel during his stay, but since Japan's boss already prepared another guest room, so he gave in. Late at night, Gilbert had slept soundly in his room. Ludwig went to the veranda in the second floor, since he couldn't sleep in his first day. He was looking at the dark sky when someone's footstep came in. He looked back, and it turned out to be Kiku. "Germany-san, you can't sleep?"
"Ah, yes. Did I wake you up?"
"No, not really." Kiku walked closer to Germany until he stood beside him. His facial expression changed a bit before he continued speaking. "Um, Germany-san. I have a question."
"Hm?" Germany only grunted, as an approval.
"Please do not misunderstand my question, but um, what is the purpose of your visit? I think it's not just a simple vacation. I mean, you are not the type to take a rest easily."
Germany didn't answer. He went silent for few moments before he talked. "What did bruder say to you?"
"He said that he decided to go on a vacation here by himself. What about it?"
Germany looked down and sighed. "It's true on one part, but not on the other part."
"...Huh?"
"Bruder didn't go by himself. I was the one who told him to. It was... my boss's orders. He told me that I had to let bruder go so he could take a rest."
"Take a rest?" Japan grew confused.
The latter let out a soft sigh with a rather said face. "...2 weeks."
"2 weeks?"
"He was given a time. In about a week again, if he did not recover, accept being part of the country, nor did he relinquish his title, he'll... He'll..." Germany stopped talking and clutched his fists. He gritted his teeth in hatred, frustration, and sadness. Hearing this, Japan understood the situation. The reason why Prussia was so hyped about everything around him, wasn't because it was his first time. Rather, he was trying to enjoy the time he had left. Knowing his personality, he wouldn't give up his title easily.
Japan mumbled in silence, but it would seem that Germany heard him. "Prussia-kun... He'll become a human being?"
The two stepped into silence. "Th-there should be another way! Another way to-!" Japan paused, when he looked at Germany's expression.
If there's one, Germany-san must have said it. Prussia-kun had a such carefree soul after all...
"...Did Prussia-kun know anything about this?"
"...Ja. He knew, but he didn't care about it. Do you know the last words he said to me before his flight here?" Japan shook his head. His expression clearly told that he wanted to know. "Don't let my status be a burden. No matter what happens to me, I'll still be your big brother."
Japan went silent and was shocked a bit when he heard this. "Does he had another choice, Germany-san?"
"Only one. By the end of his vacation, he will have to decide what he'll do. Will he relinquish his title and become a normal human being, or becoming a part of our country by representing the East. I already tried to persuade him for the latter, but he didn't seem to listen at all..."
"So, your visit here was..."
"My boss sent me here so I can keep an eye for bruder. If he rejected both options, then he would cease to exist."
"..." Japan couldn't say a word. Then he said softly. "Let's leave ourselves from this, Germany-san."
"Huh?"
"What Prussia-kun will choose, resides within himself. What I want to know is that, I know that he'll choose something with a reason, and a reason that won't be swayed easily. He's that kind of person, yes?"
Germany nodded silently.
"Germany-san. You believe in your brother, right?"
In response, the latter chuckled a bit as he rubbed his face. "...Ja. I believe in him."
...
A/N: What a heartbreaking drama for one arc... Okay, that's enough sniffing. I know well that this is the same problem in my other fanfic. I can't think of another. Hope you like this!
