"Ludwig, can you please just try to understand?"

Ludwig sighed and ran his fingers through his slicked back hair that was now falling out of place, "I'm trying! But last time I kept quiet, I found you unconscious and overdosed. I don't want anything like that to happen! Ever again!"

Gilbert turned to Ivan who was staring at him while the two Germans argued over the phone, "It's not going to happen ever again. I'm too awesome! I never make the same mistake twice! My life is mine and yours is yours. You don't see me wishing you and Italy were away from each other."

"That's because Italy never made me try suicide! He's better for me than that fucking Russian is for you!"

Prussia held out the phone to Russia, "Help," he mouthed.

Russia smiled lightly, actually finding it a bit cute that Gilbert needed help from him. He grabbed the phone from him and gently pushed him out of the room.

Gilbert glared at his boyfriend as he backed slowly away into the living room. Ivan chuckled as he raised the phone to his ear.

"Hello!? Gilbert?"

Ivan smiled widely and even though the other couldn't see, it wasn't hard to tell, "Nyet comrade! This is your brother's master. Don't worry, I've been feeding him and giving him water. I also never forget to take him out for his daily walk. He's still not quite potty trained though."

Germany was unamused, "Very funny."

Ivan tried not to laugh since he knew Germany meant business, "I'm sorry. I could resist."

"Just like you couldn't resist hurting my brother?"

He tensed, "I'm not going to fucking hurt your brother! Fuck! I love him and I intend to marry him!"

Gilbert could hear the sudden outburst from his boyfriend. His eyes went wide, "Marry… me….?"

Ivan hung up and went out to Gilbert, "I hate your brother."

Gilbert turned his head away from Ivan to hide his blushing face, "You obviously don't hate him that much if you're willing to be related to him."

"You heard?" He sat next to him and kissed his cheek, "Why won't you look at me?" He cupped Gilbert's cheek, "Please look at me."

He turned his head reluctantly and was immediately kissed by Ivan.

Ivan smiled, "So, what is it?"

"Yes."
