Chapter 6 - The wall is my cage


31st August 1961

Gilbert found him self getting sicker and sicker over the past decade, as his people ran west. It would occasionally get so bad he was bed ridden. When ever he got to ill Ivan would take care of him personally, Gilbert was yet to find out if the Russian did the same for the others as well. As the past decade flew by Gilbert admitted to him self that he was friends with the Russian. Even if Ivan hugged people way to much for their own good.

Gilbert's health had being going down hill the past few day's, so he was surprised when he woke up feeling much better than before. Well besides his headache. Getting up he put on some clothing and decided it was time to get breakfast.

As Gilbert walked towards the stairs he felt someone hug him from behind.

"Guess who?"

"Old Fritz"

"Nyet, try again."

"Ivan just let me go"

Ivan let the German go grabbing his hand and pulling him down the stairs. Gilbert protested this but didn't fight back making the Russian happy.

After breakfast the two departed to do their work. Gilbert had managed to persuade Ivan to let him have a radio last year. Even though their was only one station that he could understand as he didn't speak Russian, it was still effective it stopping him from getting board. Even if it was all propaganda.

When he had done all the washing decided to take a well earned radio break.

"Now time for the news. The German Democratic Republic have started construction of what is being called the Anti-Fascist Protective Wall around the boarder of East and West Berlin. This wall is being put up to stop the fascists from NATO and West Germany hindering the peoples will to build a socialist state. In other ne-"

Gilbert ripped the plug for the radio out of the wall silencing it. Gilbert used all his will power not to punch the shit out of device.

Gilbert was seeing red as he marched to the Russians office kicking the door open. The Russian was about to yell about the rude intrusion until he seen it was his Gilbert.

"Gilbert are you done all ready?"

Gilbert wanted to punch that childish smile of the Russians face and make him eat it.

"You can stop pretending now Ivan, I know!"

Ivan didn't look up from his paper work as he answered.

"I don't know what your talking about."

"The wall Ivan, the fucking wall, I didn't know our friendship meant nothing but keeping me from running away from you!"

Ivan looked up. He found out. Standing up Ivan walked over to Gilbert.

"That was you governments decision, my government advised against it. Besides if the wall isn't built you will die."

"I WOULD RATHER BE DEAD THAN A PRISONER"

"Your not a prisoner and please do not raise your voice. Our friendship is very important to me and I do not control your government. Now if you please I am very busy."

Ivan attempted to escort Gilbert to the door. He had a lot of work to do.

"If i'm not a prisoner then let me see my brother!"

Ivan pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"Gilbert you know I can't let you"

"Why not! I'm not a prisoner then I should be able to see my brother!"

"My boss wont let you, besides America wouldn't give you permission see him even if I allowed it."

"YOUR NOTHING BUT A FUCKING CONROL FREAK RUSSIA AND I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BE-"

Gilbert was cut off when Ivan gave him a slap round the face. Grabbing the Germans face in a vice grip Ivan made Gilbert look him in the eyes.

"I have done nothing but work to make you happy Gilbert. I had so many sleepless night to make it so you would live, so stop being fucking ungrateful!"

Letting go of the German Ivan watched the German walked to the door. Gilbert stopped before exiting.

"I wish I died in the war, at lest then I would have never had to live with you!" and with that gilbert slammed the door leaving a very upset Russian behind.

When he was certain Gilbert had gone Ivan ran out the door and into the wash room where he smashed the radio that had ruined everything to pieces. All that work to make Gilbert love him gone.

"Why didn't I just kill him in Berlin" Ivan slid down the wall curling up into a ball.

"Why must I love him"

Gilbert sat on the end of his bed sulking. He felt used. He had let the Russian have his trust only to get betrayed. Still for some reason he still couldn't find it in his heart to hate the Russian.


Toris called dinner an hour ago and Gilbert hadn't come down. After Russia told him to let the German starve, Toris had given up. Now the Russian had gone to his office, Toris was going to try again. Knocking on Gilbert's door he awaited an answer.

"Fuck off Russia"

"Its me Toris can I come in?"

"You can fuck off as well"

Toris felt insulted by the Germans reaction.

"Gilbert you need to eat, come down"

"Fuck the hell off!"

Toris was sick of the Germans shit bursting in the door and slamming it behind him.

"Do you think starving your self will achieve anything?!"

Gilbert looked up at the very Rude Lithuanian.

"Yeah it will piss that commie piece of shit off"

"Gilbert he will fall, they always do. You will see your brother again just don't be an idiot!"

"Why do you care?"

"Honestly I don't, I hate you but I need you to stay strong because he will fall and when he does Germany will not want a broken you."

Gilbert rolled his eyes.

"He wont break me"

Toris wanted to hit Gilbert so badly but he knew punishment would follow if Russia found out.

"He will if you keep being a stubborn shit! Now come down and eat your fucking food before I shove it up your asshole!"

With that lithuania left the room. Gilbert went to eat reluctantly taking Toris's advice.


17th of August 1961

Ivan had spent the last four days trying to get Gilbert to forgive him but it hadn't worked. Everything his got the German he would find in the bin later and when he tried to speak to Gilbert he would act like he was not there. It was really pissing Russia off. The wall had just being finished and Ivan thought it would only be fair to tell the German. When he got the the door he knocked knowing the response he would get.

"Fuck off, I don't want your lousy shit!"

"Can I come in please, I have something very important to tell you"

"Tell me through the fucking door, you face makes me sick!"

Ivan was getting use to getting insulted non stop the past few days. Even if Gilbert had hurt him he was determined to build up his trust again.

"I think you would rather hear something like this face to face"

After a short pause the door opened a crack. Ivan wasted no time pushing it open fully and walking into the Germans room.

"Tell me fast. Your stinking up my room."

"If you could stop insulting me that would be nice but I know its too much of an ask." After a long pause Ivan continued. "I am letting you know that the wall has being completed"

"That all?"

"No..."

"What is it then"

"Your acting like a child"

"Coming from you!" Gilbert walked up face to face with the Russian. "You have the mental age of a brain damaged toddler"

Ivan shoved Gilbert away from him.

"Maybe its because I-" Love You. Ivan went red at his almost confession and ran out the room.

Gilbert decided to insult the Russian as he ran off.

"Can even finish what you started can you Russkiy. Ksesesesese"
