Ludwig

The next year passed rather quickly and even though Gilbert's birthday came and went he still didn't have his ears and tail. This didn't bother the albino however it was beginning to bother his friends, family, and even his teachers. It was extremely odd because as it neared Ludwig's birthday Gilbert was all for seeing what animal his bruder would be. I will have an idea of what I might be when they finally come in. Sometimes though it wasn't like that because some siblings were a different species all together. It didn't give Gilbert any reason not to hope that he may be the same animal. Even though he may not look disturbed by the fact that he hadn't gotten his ears yet but he was beginning to feel a little depressed. What if they never come in? He frowned and walked over to the front door not seeing Ludwig waiting for him like usual. Is he sick? Gilbert frowned and walked back to his bruder's room. "Oi! Are you sick?" he exclaimed about to knock/break down the door but then thought against it because if he left him home that means he could skip without technically being in trouble.

Just as Gilbert was about to give up and go hide in his room, Ludwig came out of the bathroom all dressed. "What are you doing?" Ludwig asked looking over at him.

"I thought I was running late…" Gilbert mumbled knowing that he usually woke up just as Ludwig was leaving but this time he was just coming out of the bathroom.

"I changed your alarm clock last night so you didn't keep waking up as I was leaving and we don't have to rush to class anymore." he stated moving to go downstairs and cook a breakfast for the both of them.

"Why did you do that? I need my Awesome sleep!" the albino whined as he followed the blonde downstairs.

Ludwig rolled his eyes and decided to focus on the task at hand. He was making sure Gilbert never got the idea to cook because he could easily burn down the house. It wasn't like his bruder couldn't cook, he was just one big fail waiting to happen all the time twenty-four seven. "Just make sure you have everything for class." he stated before focusing all his attention on the food.

Gilbert on the other hand couldn't wait until tomorrow. For once he couldn't wait for another's birthday. He had this feeling that he would be getting his ears and tail soon. I can't fucking wait! I'm going to blow everyone's minds when I get them! He made it to his room but he didn't really touch his back pack thinking that tomorrow, around this exact time, his brother would be mature and he might know what he would be.

It was also very interesting to see what the students a year below him were. All their birthdays came and nothing was out of the ordinary. Another theory however was proved that even though you're in the same family you weren't always in the same animal group. Alfred was a Chesapeake Bay Retriever while his twin brother, Matthew, was a Polar Bear. The Italian twins were both the same animal. Lovino was an Ocicat while Feliciano was a Balinese. Natalia, Ivan's younger sister was someone you really shouldn't ever dare to cross ever. It was very strange at how the younger sibling of one was so over protective of the other. The thing that made Natalia different was that she thinks she needed to protect Ivan so much that the guy was actually afraid of her, so was the population of the school, and she even believed that they should get married. That's the one thing I'll feel sorry for that Russian. No one should have to deal with that kind of a psycho. Sadly, Natalia turned out to be another bear, a Marsican Brown Bear. Why couldn't she be like a cat or even a lower prey because then she wouldn't hurt so much when she went into 'Kill Everyone near Brother' mode.

Gilbert shivered remembering the one time Ivan decided to be friendly with him and Natalia just 'happened' to walk by. He was nearly killed that day or probably would've been if he didn't run into Francis and Antonio. She's one crazy bitch. His nose began picking up the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen and went downstairs to eat said delicious food. "It smells so good~." he stated as he walked in seeing a plate just for him. "Thanks bruder!" He sat down and began eating the meal right away.

Ludwig nodded setting the dirty pans aside as he grabbed his plate to eat. He had gotten used to cooking their meals since their parents a couple months back gave them a choice. They could both stay and graduate in England or they could come back with them to Germany because their jobs ended up making them stay in Germany. Both of the children decided to stay in England because they liked the idea of being alone and they did get pretty attached to their friends. "You don't need to eat like we're running late." he pointed out seeing his brother literally just shove the food in and swallow. Just like a vacuum.

"Ha! Beat you again little bruder!" smirked Gilbert putting his dish away and decided to go write a quick blog before being dragged off to school.

"Don't get too busy with your blog!" threatened Ludwig after the albino because he would pull the cord to make his computer shut down and lose all of his hard work. That's the only way to get him moving when you wanted him too. After Ludwig finished his plate he put his dish away and began to get ready to clean the dishes.

Gilbert of course didn't watch the time as he continued to just type away at his blog. His parents even wished that he could spend as much time on his homework as he did his blog because if he did he might just actually be an 'A' student. However, Ludwig's threat would have to be carried out as he came upstairs after yelling for a few minutes.

"Time to go bruder." he demanded standing in the doorway going to give him ten seconds to get off the computer and out the door.

"Almost done!" exclaimed the albino pretty much going to ignore the other teen.

Eight, seven, six, five, four… Ludwig began moving over to the computer to continue out his threat. Two, one… He pulled the cord out making the computer forcefully shut down and lose all progress Gilbert had.

The face Gilbert had was priceless and Ludwig wished that he had a camera to capture it. "Why?" he started trying to think of anything. Insults or just a plain sentence would do yet his mouth wouldn't work as he saw his bruder grab his back pack and drag him out of the house with his mouth still opening and closing but no words spewing forth.

Ludwig liked the idea of having a nice calm peaceful morning before school. It was mostly because his bruder never woke up earlier than him so never had to deal with the headache until it was time to go. The thing he didn't like was the morning of his birthday. He would always wish, from that day forward, that Gilbert would never, ever wake up early again.

The door slammed open and a loud obnoxious voice rang. "Oi! Wake up West!" he demanded pulling at his bruder's sheets. What animal is he, what animal is he? Gilbert snickered as the sheets were finally off and he saw as his bruder sit up seeing he was going to be a dog. At least it looked like dog ears and tail.

"What do you want?" Ludwig snapped itching his head because it felt weird and that's when he remembered. It's my thirteenth birthday… He got up off the bed and walked into the bathroom to inspect his ears. It felt extremely weird as he felt his tail move behind him.

As Ludwig was inspecting his new animal parts Gilbert stayed on his bed biting his lip. Will I ever get my ears and tail? He got up and went into his room to sulk once again. He didn't understand how he couldn't just grow them already. It was nearly killing him because it was starting to worry him that he might be defective or something. Gilbert opened up his blog and decided to be the first to tell the world about Ludwig being a dog. When the hell am I getting my animal traits? He glared at the screen before sending the blog and going over to his bed. His decision was not to go to school for the next few days again.

"Ve~! Ludwig you're a German Sheppard!" exclaimed Feliciano giving a tight hug from behind the German as he stood up.

"Ja, I am Feliciano but can you please let go?" Ludwig asked a little worried about his bruder. He looked even more down trodden when he saw his ears this morning than he was when he found out his hadn't come in the second year in a row. I hope he's fine… The German was worrying over his bruder the whole day because he didn't want him to do anything stupid or leave the house. When Gilbert would go as far as leaving the house it would sometimes take him days to find him but it seemed he was beginning to like one of the parks on the other side of town than where their house was. Just better not get in any trouble.

Gilbert was swinging on a swing trying to figure out what he should do. He had no idea of how he could make them come out already. It was really getting him down even though he wouldn't let anyone else but his bruder see how much it was affecting him. He already knew he would be in trouble for coming out here but he just needed to think things through.

Ivan was enjoying a nice walk in the slowly decreasing temperature when he spotted a rather familiar set of hair. He smiled widely as he walked up behind the albino and wrapped his arms around him. "Privet comrade Gilbert~." he declared laughing lightly at his reaction.

"Wha… Hey!" he exclaimed trying to get free from the Russian's vice grip. "Let me go you fucking idiot!" Gilbert yelled at him.

"But you looked so down that I thought to cheer you up da?" Ivan stated pulling him backwards off the swing. It was so much fun when he would try to get free because he would never win.

"I don't need to be fucking cheered up!" Gilbert snapped finally getting free to glare at Ivan with his arms crossed. "Why do you fucking care anyway?"

Ivan blinked trying to figure out why he was always so angry and hostile toward him. "I don't like seeing you sad da." he stated. Gilbert frowned at him and shook his head going to speak but was cut off again. "Da, you are very upset with not having your cute ears and tail." Ivan explained for once earning silence and not a snappy comeback. He nodded seeing as he was right and continued. "I don't care if my little…" Ivan looked over Gilbert trying to think of what he most reminded him of and at that moment he looked very curious and obviously alone. He smiled widely knowing exactly what he was going to call him from then on. "I don't care if my little krolik doesn't have ears or tails, he will still be cute da!"

Gilbert at first felt a small blush working on his face before he glared at him, "I'm not fucking cute!" He flipped him off and stormed away. I'm done thinking now.

He looked so adorable! Ivan's smile grew as he walked back home knowing it was so much fun teasing Gilbert.

Don't expect these updates to be as quick as this one all the time because I barely got any inspiration for this because at first I didn't know what to do for this chapter but I got it done. I hope you guys still enjoy it but I do want to remind you this is not the only story I'm working on so if updates are slow it's because I've other, earlier, responsibilities to work on first. I loved your reviews and would like you to keep it up if possible~!
