Chapter 52

Y/N's POV

I was playing a new video game I got when my phone rang. I was at an important level so I quickly grabbed it put it on my shoulder and balanced it with my head. "Hello?" I greeted. "Hey Y/N it's Ludwig." Ludwig said. "Hey Luddy what's up?" I asked. "I need you to check on Gilbert. We were going to go out somewhere but he decided to stay home. He told us to go and now he's not answering the phone. We're too far away to turn back." Ludwig said. I got nervous. Gilbert is not the type of person not to go somewhere with his friends. Or to not pick up the phone. I paused my game. "Sure Ludwig I'll go right now." I said slipping on some shoes. "Danke Y/N." he said then hung up. I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my keys. I was getting worried about him. I drove over to the axis' house. I knocked on the door. "Gilbert? It's Y/N!" I said through the door. No answer. This only made me more worried. I tried opening the door and found out it was unlocked. Not a good sign. I quickly went inside. "Shit! Gilbert!" I said looking at the unconscious Prussian on the floor. I went over to him and checked his pulse. Whew. Still alive. I also noticed that he felt hot. I dragged him to the couch and layed him down. That was the hard part. Why do all the guys have to be so heavy!? I huffed and went to go look for a thermometer. I finally found one and put it in his mouth. I waited a bit then took it out. He had a fever of 102. Is that why Gilbert didn't go with them? So he didn't worry them? I sighed and looked at Gilbert. He's too reckless. I got a rag and wet it. I rung it out then put it on Gilbert's forehead. He slightly shifted in his sleep. "God damn it Gilbert you need to let people take care of you." I said. I shook my head. I should make him something to eat for when he wakes up. It doesn't look like he's eaten anything today. I went into the kitchen and got a can of chicken noodle soup. I got a pan and poured it in. I turned on the stove and heated it up. I heard Gilbert grunt. I quickly ran over to him. "Gilbert! How are you feeling?" I asked. "Huh? Y/N? What are you doing here?" he asked. "I came over because Ludwig was worried about you. He was right to be! I found you passed out on the floor!" I said. "Oh. There's nothing worry about! The awesome me is fine!" he said trying to get up but failing. I caught him before he could hit the floor. "No, you're not." I said laying him back down. "The awesome you is going to rest." I said picking up the rag and putting it back on his forehead. "I'm fine! The awesome me can take care of himself!" Gilbert said. "Gilbert I'm taking care of you and that's it." I said. "Ha! Frau are worried about the awesome me?" Gilbert asked teasingly. "Yes I'm worried! I found you passed out on the floor!" I said. I know he doesn't want anyone to worry about him but how can I not when he might disappear!? "Gilbert have you eaten today?" I asked. "Of course the awesome me has!" he said. His stomach growl proved otherwise. "He He…." he laughed nervously. "I thought so. I'm heating you up some soup." I said. "Danke frau!" he said. I went to check on the soup. It was ready so I turned off the stove and poured it into a bowl. I carefully brought it over to him and helped him sit up.

I handed him the bowl and he started eating. I went into the other room and called Ludwig. "So is he okay?" Ludwig asked. "I found him passed out on the floor. He had a fever. He's alive but sick." I said. "We'll go home then. Would you mind taking care of him until then?" Ludwig asked. "I don't mind. See you when you get here." I said. "Danke, Bye." he said. I walked back into the room just as Gilbert finished the soup. He put the bowl on the table next to him as he noticed me walking in. "So frau, you want to play video games?" he asked. "Sure, but don't strain yourself." I said. I turned on the gaming system so he wouldn't have to get up and got two controllers. We picked out a game and I put it in. I sat down next to him and turned on the controller. He laid his head down on my lap. "You won't distract me from kicking your butt!" I said."Just try frau!" Gilbert said back. It was a near even match between us. But it the end I won. "Take that Gilbert!" I said triumphantly. "You only beat me because I'm sick!" Gilbert protested. "No, I beat you because I have sick moves." I laughed. "How about we watch a movie?" I asked. "Sounds good frau." Gilbert said. He sat up and scooched closer to me. I got up and turned off the system and picked out an action/comedy movie. The cliche. Two opposite personality partner cops. Dirty cops fart jokes. The works. I went to sit back down but Gilbert kept moving to where I tried to sit. I rolled my eyes and just sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around my stomach. "Caught you in my plan frau!" Gilbert snickered. "It's not a plan if your enemy knows what's gonna happen." I teased. The movie started playing. Gilbert snuggled his face into my neck. I blushed. "You're my favorite person to cuddle with frau." Gilbert said. As the movie went on Gilbert only cuddled with me more. I had nothing against it. It was pretty nice, actually. I got really comfortable so I started to get sleepy. Gilbert was sick so it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. I decided to follow suit.
