Chapter 4

With the young guest safely in bed, Gilbert then turned his attention to his brother. After closing the door behind him, he leaned against it. What was coming next certainly wasn't going to be fun.

Grimacing, Gilbert realized that he couldn't just stand there. He tried to draw out the time it took to get to his own room that was right now the hall.

Opening the door revealed the small blond that was obviously worried. Ludwig was sitting on the bed swing his feet slightly.

"Ludwig," Gilbert started. He tried to think if Ludwig had ever gotten in this much trouble before, he didn't thinks so. "You're in big trouble."

Ludwig jumped off the bed, "I didn't mean for it to happen!"

There was the backtalk again. "Would you like to explain what you did mean to happen then?" Gilbert said giving Ludwig a stern look. "And I would watch that attitude if I was you."

"Do I have to?" the child asked weakly, no longer defiant.

Gilbert rolled his eyes. "Next time I won't phase it as a question."

Ludwig's eyes began to water, he had realized that he messed up bad. "Well we were playing and Feliciano asked what made you awesome. You told me it was from you're awesome juice, so that's what I told her. She asked me what kind of juice, I kind of showed her instead."

"I thought I told you that you weren't to touch my beer." Gilbert said evenly. He was pretty sure that the alcohol had been up high enough, obviously that wasn't the case. "I had it up for a reason."

"I know," Ludwig whined. "I just want to show her."

Gilbert shot him a look, "So, how did she end up drinking some of it?"

"I was going to put it back, really I was!" Ludwig said, trying to get his brother to believe him. "Bt she took it and tasted it."

Gilbert sighted and ran his fingers through his hair. "You still knew better than to touch it."

"I know, I'm sorry." The child did in fact looked remorseful.

Gilbert was quiet for a bit and sat down on the edge of the bed, thinking about what he should do. He chewed on his lip, not liking the answers he was coming up with. This was a big rule that Ludwig broke, too big to just let go.

Ludwig began to tear up, knowing what was on his brother's mind. "Are you going to spank me?"

"Afraid so, come on Ludwig." Gilbert gestured for the boy to come toward him.

"Please, Gilby. I'm sorry." Ludwig's big blue eyes were pleading with Gilbert.

Gilbert tried not to crumble under the puppy dog look. "Ludwig don't fight with me. You did something naughty."

The child started backing away with his hands over his bottom for protection. "No." He shook his head. "I wasn't that bad."

Gilbert had finally had enough, he stood up and loosened his belt. "Ludwig, I warned you." Gilbert had used his belt once, and Ludwig dreaded the implement ever since.

Ludwig's eyes grew huge as he realized that he had severely pissed off his brother. He didn't struggle as he was set over Gilbert's lap. In fact, it was all so surreal to him that he froze up completely.

Gilbert lightly tapped the belt on his bottom as a bit of a warning. Ludwig jolted with the first smack and let out a whimper. Had Gilbert not been so worried about what could happen to Feli, he wouldn't have resorted to this. The girl might not have died from alcohol poisoning like a human would, but it still wouldn't be pleasant for the child. Gilbert felt like this spanking was necessary.

Ludwig was bawling and kicking his legs by the third stroke. He didn't mean for Feliciano to drink the alcohol, even if he did break one of the rules.

Gilbert gave the boy ten swats of the belt overall. He grimaced remembering getting the belt himself and knew that Ludwig's bottom was going to be hurting for a while. The Prussian started to rub the sobbing child's back. "Hey, it's over now."

Ludwig slowly calmed down, "I am really sorry."

Gilbert ruffled the child's hair, "Ja, you told me."

Ludwig's bottom hurt a lot, he hated the belt. But he also would remember not to touch the beer again before he was old enough for it. "Is Feliciano ok?"

"Yeah, she should be sleeping." Gilbert shook his head. He would still be whining about the spanking if he was Ludwig. "She might have a hangover in the morning, but other than that she'll be fine." And heaven help him if the child does have a hang over tomorrow. "If she's ok to travel, we'll be taking her back."

"Why?" Ludwig didn't really want his friend to leave despite all the trouble he got into.

"Cause, thanks to you two I got to tell Austria what happened." Gilbert grumbled. "Thanks for that," He remarked sarcastically, although he wasn't really mad anymore. Yeah, talking to Roderick was going to be a pain in the ass. Ludwig was sure to listen to him for a while too.

"Sorry," Ludwig whimpered.

Gilbert looked at the blond, "Come here." He grabbed the child and more or less crushed him with a hug.

Ludwig squirmed, "Stop it, Gilby!"

"Hm, nope." Gilbert smiled, know that all was well between him and his brother again.

Luddy managed to grab a pillow and used that to beat his attacker off of him. Gilbert backed off only long enough to get his own pillow. "Remember I'm so awesome you can't beat me!"

"Oh yeah?" Ludwig asked.

"You bet," Gilbert threw his pillow at the child.

After a few minutes of both sides getting smacked with pillows multiple times, Ludwig gave up. "Why are you so much bigger and stronger that me?" he pouted.

"Cause I got to be the one to keep you out of trouble." Gilbert responded.

"It's no fair, because you can spank me." Ludwig mumbled.

"Just be happy I'm not like Vati." Gilbert said, fondly remembering the man. "You wouldn't be sitting down for days."

"I don't think I can as is." The child complained.

"Vati wouldn't have done it over you pants." Gilbert pointed out. He knew that was fact because he had been in that situation far too many times when he was younger. "And you deserved it."

"I guess," Ludwig begrudgingly agreed. "Big brother?"

"Yeah?" Gilbert glanced down at the kid, wondering what he could possibly want now.

"Can I sleep with you?" Ludwig asked, blushing a little.

Gilbert rolled his eyes, "Jump in."

With a small smile, Ludwig crawled into bed and snuggled under the covers. Gilbert couldn't believe that the kid would still want to sleep with him, but he wouldn't deny Ludwig.

Switching into his nighttime clothes as well, Gilbert joined the warm bundle that was in his bed. The one good think about having his brother sleep with him, was that he never was cold.

The day was finally over. That meant that he had to take Feliciano back tomorrow and tell Roderick what happened. Well, that was sure to go over well.
