Chapter 26
"Okay, and so the answer is…bruder, can't you pay attention for once?" Germany asked. Winter had passed to spring quickly, and in a few short weeks they would all graduate; ideally. But first they had to finish and pass their last round of exams. Prussia never had much of an interest in studying for the other exams, and with his two children sleeping a few yards away from him he had even less interest and kept getting sidetracked. At that moment, instead of listening to Germany he was watching his son nibble on his foot in his sleep.
Germany simply frowned at this before he heard an argument from their neighbor followed by Miquel crying. Several moments passed as Spain and Romano most likely calmed down the child, only for the short-lived silence to be broken by Spain barging into Germany and Prussia's room with Romano and Miguel in tow. As he entered he said, "Hey guys, hope you don't mind, but we had the great idea of studying with you guys for tomorrow's exam."
"Great, just what we need. More distractions," Germany answered with a frown.
"You guys should have just started off over here. After all, with my awesome hearing I could hear you guys unawesomely having trouble studying," Prussia commented, replacing August's foot with his pacifier.
"Probably should have," Spain agreed as he placed Miguel between himself and Romano; only to then look over expectantly at Germany and Prussia. As Romano sat down next to the infant, Miguel began to squirm then give out a cry. The group had learned that of the three infants Miguel was the loudest, and while the cry was relatively quiet for the child it was still loud enough to wake his half siblings. Confused about the noise, the twins began to fuss, ending with August giving out a cry of his own.
"This isn't going to work," Germany stated. He cared about his niece and nephew and their needs like any responsible uncle, but at the same time he also cared about keeping his and his brother's grades up. Due to this, as exam time came Germany had tried his best to persuade the infants to an early sleep so that they would have more time to study. And now having another lot of people thrown into the mix and keeping the infants from sleep was going to spoil all of his planning.
"It's not the kid's fault that they woke up. Besides, it's not fair to make them go to bed early," Prussia criticized.
"Kids need to get a lot of sleep, especially when their little. Besides, you have a hard enough time focusing on studying with the little ones asleep; how would you do with them awake?" Germany rebutted.
"So then what do you expect us to do? It's not like we can simply tell the kids to go away until the end of exams," Prussia criticized.
Germany thought about this for a moment as he looked between everyone else in the room. An idea then came to him, causing him to say, "Maybe not for the entire time, but I can see that happening for at least a few hours tonight."
With this said, Germany got up and left the room for a few minutes, leaving the others to sit in the room confused as to where he left. When he came back, France was with him in tow looking confused. Germany then looked to the others again and said, "Alright, Prussia, put the twins in their stroller so that France can take them and also Miguel."
"And why am I taking the three of them? In case you forgot there's an exam tomorrow and I should probably study for it," France asked.
"And so do the rest of us. And how I see it it's about time you took a more active role as their supposed-to-be father figure," Germany answered.
"I get that, but why does it mean that I have to watch the three by myself? I'd be more than happy to join you guys and study and watch them with you," France commented in an attempt to compromise.
"No, now take them so that we can concentrate in peace. Besides, if you really want to complain then save it for the teachers. Knowing you, you will probably just be able to flirt the teachers into giving you a passing grade anyways," Germany retorted, only to then carefully put a dozing Anna into a seat next to August and pushing then towards France.
France frowned slightly as he looked down at the infants. He understood where Germany was coming from, and he had at times wished to spend more time with the little ones. But at the same time he also wanted to finish school on a good note with his grades. On the other hand, the three children were either asleep or looked as if ready to fall asleep, and what was the harm in taking them someplace quiet for bedtime. It was not like he needed to be loud and keeping them awake to study.
With this in mind, he agreed to take the children and said that he would bring them back in a couple hours for their mothers; Prussia and Spain frowning slightly as they watched France take the infants with him instead of staying with them. Once France and the three infants were gone, Germany looked over to the rest of the group and said, "Now, let's get back to studying."
The group groaned at this, but eventually they were able to begin studying. After a few hours of this, and by coincidence when the group was no longer making any kind of progress, France returned with the now all sleeping infants, saying that he decided that it was getting late.
And kind of starting to wrap things up
