The Last Reunion
By: Insanity's Pen
Austria opened the door after hearing several rather loud knocks. Needless to say, however, he wasn't surprised to find a certain albino on the other side. What did surprise him though, was the uncharacteristic sheepish grin on the usually smirking visitor's face.
"What are you doing here?" Austria asked, feeling slightly worried for his vital regions.
"What? I can't visit my dear friend when I want to?" Prussia replied with mock hurt.
"Well it usually means that you either have something mischievous up your sleeve, are drunk and need a place to crash, or you want money."
Prussia laughed. Why does it sound so off? Austria noticed briefly.
"Roderich?" a voice came from behind Austria. "Who is it?"
Hungary's emerald eyes peered from over the man's shoulder.
"Oh, Prussia! What brings you here?" she asked, frying pan in hand.
"Just in the neighborhood." The albino replied with a slight chuckle.
"Well come in," Hungary said, being the ever polite host. "Have a drink."
"Actually," Prussia declined. "I only came to drop something off."
Austria and Hungary looked at the man standing upon their threshold with bewildered faces. Prussia was actually refusing a drink?
Prussia pulled two small white envelopes from a messenger bag they had failed to notice earlier and handed one to each of them.
"It would mean the world to me if you could attend." Prussia said an unreadable expression on his face.
"What—" Austria began.
"Have a nice day." And with that Prussia turned on his heel and walked away. Hungary and Austria stood in silence for a few minutes, contemplating what had just happened.

"Coming!" Spain called. He had been in the middle of washing dishes when a sudden knock came to his door.
"It better not be that potato bastard." Grumbled Romano. "We already have the wine bastard here."
"Hey!" France cried. "I am a most welcome guest! And you should be a better host!"
Spain shook his head at the pair's squabbling as he dried his hands with a rag. He made his way to the door and opened it to find his other best friend standing there.
"Prussia!" he exclaimed with an ever-cheerful smile. "Welcome!" Spain led Prussia to where the others were.
"Prussia!" exclaimed France.
"Ugh. Another one." Romano groaned as he stood from his seat and made his way upstairs, away from the insanity he was sure was to take place. Nothing normal ever happened when those three got together.
"So what brings you here?" Spain asked as he pulled out some drinks.
"Nothing much, just running errands." Prussia replied with his usual smirk.
"You? Doing some kind of work? Hononon! Incroyable!" France laughed.
"Si, amigo, that is a little hard to believe!" Spain laughed as well.
"True!" Prussia joined in and the trio enjoyed a nice laugh together. Once the laughter died down and three were contentedly drinking, Spain asked,
"So what kind of errands were you doing?"
"I was delivering messages to everyone." Prussia answered.
"Oh? What kind of messages?" France spoke. The two curious men leaned in closely as Prussia pulled out two white envelopes with their names penned out in an elegant script. France and Spain exchanged confused looks.
"Invitations for a special event I'm planning." Prussia explained with a smirk.
"Fusoso~! Prussia you didn't have to make actual invitations! A simple phone call would have sufficed." Spain smiled heartwarmingly as he wrapped an arm around his friend's shoulder.
"Espagne is right! Even if we weren't invited, we would have gone anyway!" France wrapped his arms around the other two, enveloping them into a group hug. Prussia laughed but inside he wanted to cry. He had such good friends, they were like his brothers.
"Also, I came to see if you guys wanted to hang out Friday night. Just the three of us." Prussia suggested.
"The usual?" Spain asked a glitter of excitement in his eyes.
"Nope." Prussia smirked evilly. "We're going all out. No restrictions, just mayhem and pure fun."
The other two eagerly gave a cheer of agreement.
"Anyways," Prussia said standing from his seat. "I have to go now. Germany will start yelling at me for being late to dinner."
The three made their way towards the door.
"Oh, before I forget," Prussia pulled another envelope. "Give this to Romano for me." Spain took it from his hands.
"Tell him it would mean very much to me if he came. It would mean the world to me if both you could come." Prussia stared into his best friends' eyes before turning and leaving. France and Spain had fallen into silence as they watched their friend's retreating back disappear into the distance.
Spain turned slowly to look at France. His gaze held a question and his heart started to beat more rapidly. France only gave a slight nod.

Prussia felt accomplished. He had delivered the invitations to every country and nation he knew, both friends and enemies. It had taken all day, but it was worth it. Now he could rest and prepare for another pain-filled night.
