Chapter 2
"Feliciano!" Ludwig jumped up and raced to the door with Gilbert close behind.
Feliciano screamed at first when the door opened suddenly, but then was fine when he saw his friend. "Hi, Ludwig. Hello Mr. Prussia." The child said with a small wave.
"Well, don't just stand there, come on in." Gilbert greeted.
"Thank you, Mr. Prussia." Feliciano whispered.
Gilbert groaned, "Don't bother with the formalities around here, I'm on my day off."
"Ah, ok." Feliciano looked a bit startled, but it didn't seem to bother him. "So, what do you want me to call you?"
"How about my name, Gilbert." He suggested sarcastically.
"Ok," Feli hummed, clearly happy just standing there.
Ludwig gave his brother a shove for being so mean. "I'm glad that you were able to come over."
"Yeah, too bad it's bedtime." Gilbert muttered.
"But Feliciano just got here." Ludwig whined.
Gilbert gave both children a small plush toward the stairs, "Get ready for bed in five minutes or less and I'll let you two have ten more minutes to talk. Deal?"
"Deal." Ludwig said taking the other child's hand and racing up the stairs.
Gilbert could only shake his head at the sight of the two. He knew that it was probably a bad idea to delay bedtime even father, but for just this once he was willing to let it slide.
He was surprised himself that Mr. Prissy had allowed Feli to come over. Gilbert really didn't have a problem with the kid, but he knew Austria was strict like Germania was. He was fairly sure that Feli got spanked several times a week over there. Gilbert figured that the kid couldn't even turn around without being yelled at for doing something wrong.
Gilbert didn't see a problem with spanking a child when they needed it, hell he had turned Ludwig over his knee a few times. Most of the time he would rather just send the boy to timeout, but that hadn't always been enough to get the message across. Gilbert thanked his lucky stars that Ludwig was usually a good kid who wasn't like a certain Prussian when he was little.
Gilbert used his few minutes to pick up anything that wasn't child friendly, yes that included the weapons from earlier. He wouldn't have Feliciano getting hurt on his watch, if that happened Roderick would be bitching about his parenting skills forever.
"Ok kids, bed now." Gilbert called up the stairs.
Surprisingly enough they were both sitting in Ludwig's bed already waiting on him. Gilbert was ready to say something about Italy going to the guestroom, but then again the two are just little kids. Nothing can really happen at this age, so he shouldn't be worrying. About the worst that could happen is that they stay up all night talking.
"Five minutes, then bed." Gilbert was always good on his promises.
"Yeah, yeah we know." Ludwig said rolling his eyes.
"Si, Gilbert." Feliciano said looking worn out from her trip. Well if one kid goes to sleep, the other will have to as well. It's an easy victory for the Prussian.
Gilbert raised an eyebrow, that little brother of his was getting pretty mouthy recently. He would have to have a discussion about that with Ludwig, of course when Feli is doing something else. Gilbert didn't want to embarrass the boy in front of his little girlfriend. "Goodnight."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hetalia!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the morning, as usual Ludwig was up before Gilbert. Feliciano also proved to be a late sleeper. Gilbert saw this as his opportunity to talk to Ludwig as the child was quietly entertaining himself with some toy bocks. "Oi, Luddy." He ruffled the kid's hair, successfully messing it up slightly.
"Ah, Gilbert. Don't do that." Ludwig battled his brother's hands away.
Gilbert smiled and picked the child up, "Hey, I think we need to talk."
Ludwig frown, "What about?"
Gilbert sat down on the couch, keeping Ludwig on his lap. "You've been a little disrespectful recently. I want it to stop."
"No, I haven't." Ludwig snapped angry and glared at the Prussian.
Gilbert rolled his eyes, "Yeah, you have."
Ludwig looked down at his hands, realizing at he had just done exactly that. "Sorry."
The snowy haired man grinned; it was so easy to talk things through with his brother, most of the time. "It's fine, as long as you promise you'll stop."
Ludwig nodded, "I'll be good, I promise."
After a bone crushing hug, Ludwig was off playing again while Gilbert rummaged through the kitchen to make the kids some breakfast. Hopefully, Feli would like potato pancakes.
