If We Won and You Lost
Other Germany's eyes widen and he slowly turns around to see Prussia staring at him.
"West, vhat happened to jou?" he asks
Other Germany is at a loss for words. He opens and closes his mouth as Prussia stands up and walks down the steps to him. Russia has rejoined the group with a noticeable grin on his face. Prussia bends down to him; he reaches up and touches his younger brother's cheek.
"Germany is dying"
Miria's voice rings throughout the throne room.
"Vhat?" Prussia says confused, Miria looks into his eyes
"All the changes that have been made to the country since the end of the war are destroying it"
"NEIN! Our country is perfect" Prussia yells
"When was the last time you have been outside?" Miria asks
Prussia is silent as he stares at her. He looks at Germany and closes his eyes.
"I know you can feel it, you are a part of Germany after all"
"Ja, I can feel it"
"Then why deny it?"
"Because it has become how we envisioned it"
"Does it make you happy?"
Prussia is silent for a few minutes before answering.
"Nein…" he looks at the sickly Germany "Ever since zese changes I have been stuck in zis house zey von't let me leave, I sent jou letters West but jou never replied to zem so I zought jou forgot about me"
Germany looks at him confused.
"I never received any letters"
"But how, I am sure I sent zem and Canada told me jou got zem?"
Canada looks at the other Canada shifting on the arm of the throne then realization hits.
"YOU KNEW DIDN'T YOU" he shouts
The others look at him, surprised that the quiet Canadian yelled. The other Canada shifts and looks at Prussia who looks back at him confused.
"Did jou know?" he asks
"I-I" his eyes begin to water
"Yes, I knew, I knew what happened to Germany and the state he was in, I knew it all" he sobs
"Zen vhy didn't jou tell me?" Prussia asks upset and confused
"Because I liked it, all the attention you give me, I didn't want it to end, I knew that once you found out about Germany you would leave me"
Everyone looked at him sadly as he sits there sobbing into his hands. Prussia stands up and walks over to him then pulls him into a hug.
"I vould never leave jou Birdie ich liebe dich"
Canada looks up at him and smiles then they kissed. Canada blushes and looks away.
"What will you do now?"
The question resonates around the room. Prussia looks at Germany.
"I don't have a say in zis" he says
Germany's eyes widen. He looks down then back up.
"Ve vill rebuild ze country and ve vill make everyone happy"
Prussia nods.
"Zen its settled ve vill rebuild Germany"
"And we will repair the rest of the wold" America states
The three look at him
"Alright zen good luck" Prussia says
"Ja, good luck" Germany says
"Say hi to my brother if you see him" Canada says smiling
America and Canada cringe but nod along with the others. They turn and leave and soon they are in the car driving in a random direction. It is silent until England speaks.
"So, what now?" he asks
They are silent as they think.
"Ve, I want to see me and my fratello"
Miria waits for confirmation. She looks at Germany and he nods.
"I vant to see how bad zese two are"
Miria nods and begins driving. Being in Germany they expect the ride to take hours but it only lasts a couple minutes. They stop about a mile from a small house.
"Is that Spain's house?" England asks as they get out of the car
"Yes, it is and don't let the appearance deceive you, both Netherlands and Belgium live here as well as yourself and Spain"
As they walk to the house they realize it's bigger than they first thought.
"Whoa, this place is almost as big as Prussia's"
"Let's take a look out back" Miria suggests "And I suggest you stay quiet"
The group sneaks around the house and peer around the corner. In the back is an enormous garden which has multiple fruits and vegetables growing in it though most of it is tomatoes. They spot the other England on a ladder picking apples out of a tree as Miria said. He is wearing the dress but when he stretches up to grab an apple they see bruises in his legs. England clenches his hands into fists, his anger boiling up. A voice breaks him from his thoughts.
"Romano, Italy, how have you two been?"
They turn to see a man with chocolate brown hair, emerald green eyes and tanned skin greeting two others. One is Italy the other looks like him but his hair is darker, his eyes are an olive green and his curl is on the opposite side.
"Ciao Spain" the two say at the same time
Normally this would be seen as cute but the smirks on their faces say otherwise. Italy opens his mouth to speak but Spain interrupts him.
"He is in the garden picking apples."
Their smirks grow and they enter the garden.
