Chapter 4

~Hungary~

After I was done listening to Roderich I decided to go to bed. Feliciano was sweeping the hallway outside of my bed room. She was such a cutie. Though we don't quite know why she gave herself a boy's name. Then again, I thought it would have been a good idea to dress as a guy when I was 11. I eventually kept dressing as a boy out of habit or stubbornness rather than reason.

"Hello, Feliciano," I smiled at her.

"Buonasera Miss Elizabeta!"

I opened my door and stood leaned against the door frame. I was honestly not ready for bed, I'm just bored. "So, Feli, how are you?"

"Sto facendo bene. But I am sad because I don't see my friend from Rome anymore. He said he would be back someday, but it has been so long and he hasn't came back."

That's too bad. Feliciano really doesn't have many friends. His brother lives in Spain. Sometimes Antonio will visit with him; it's usually to complain. Ludwig is 11, so is Feliciano! I have to figure out a way to make them friends.

"I'm sorry Feliciano. Do you wanna help me get ready for bed, then I'll help you?"

"Sì!"

I have a separate room from Rodreich per my choice. It's a nice room, but it's really big and elaborate. I didn't ask that it was huge. I just wanted a nice room. It has high ceilings, a window seat, more huge windows, stone floors a huge closet, and an abundance of pillows. I pulled out the bench from under the vanity.

"Can you help me untie this?"

I motioned for her to stand on the stool to reach the top of my dress.

"Remind me, how old are you? I can't remember what age you are from your last birthday."

"I just turned twelve in the spring."

"I thought so, I just didn't want to call you something younger than you actually are," I smiled. "Do you want to go to school when it starts again? I think tomorrow is the last day. We had so much snow in the winter they had to extend the school year into June."

"Do you really think I could go to school?" she asked with hope in her voice.

"Sure," I smiled.

When she was done untying the back I went off to my closet to grab a night shirt. I had one of the other maids help me this morning. I haven't the slightest clue how to layer the skirts, but I can take them off. Improperly.

"Feli, you can keep secrets, right?" I asked. I think I should tell him about my Daniel issue.

"Sì, Elizabeta, I can keep a secret!"

I inhaled deeply, "Well, I dress like a boy before I leave the house, and Roderich doesn't like it when I do that. One day I met a guy named Gilbert. He is a very interesting person and I want to be his friend, but if you ever see him you musn't tell him that Elizabeta and Daniel are the same people. He would freak out," I looked over at her, still standing on the bench with a slightly confused look on her face, "So keep it a secret that I pretend to be a boy at the same time as being a girl."

Feli smiled, "Okay, Miss Elizabeta, I will make sure I tell no one."

I smiled back and said, "Lovely, now could you help me take off these skirts? There's so many," I sighed a little at the end.

After Feliciano helped me get everything undone I helped her get all her things together and tucked her in. She had a little room for herself rather than in the one big room with all the other maids. When I left the room, Roderich was about to go upstairs but he stopped me before he did.

"Elizabeta, I have to go out for a while tomorrow. I am leaving early so I may not see you. I just wanted to tell you before you started desperately searching for me." I nodded and followed him up the stairs and went to my room.

He's probably right that I'd start looking all over like it was a manhunt at the end of time. I don't like it when he goes missing. When we played hide and seek as children he always had the best hiding places. I would get so pist sometimes when he wouldn't show up.

I fell asleep pretty quickly despite how awake I was. Tomorrow I would go see Gilbert and ask if Ludwig goes to school. If he does, I will leave his house before they're dismissed and stake out somewhere on the route. If he doesn't run away I will tell him about Feli. Sounds like a good plan so far, just need to execute it properly.

~Prussia~

Elizabeta is one fine lady, it's a shame she's engaged. It's also a problem she and her brother have the same face. It's really weird. I don't know what that means and it spooks me in a disturbing way. Daniel is like super awesome though. His awesome standards have met my terms. As long as he doesn't try to be awesomer than me it's fine.

Today is Lud's last school day. There was so much snow in the winter time. Like a literal 3 feet one time. They did the push into June thing and it's lame. They were supposed to release like 2 weeks ago. It's so boring without people around. I played with the dogs earlier and tossed Gilbird around. He seems to be flying pretty well.

I was sitting around and heard a knock at the door. Finally, something that could be exciting. I threw myself out of the rocking chair and ran to the door.

"Hallo," I started before the door was even open all the way.

"Hi, Gilbert, I brought the bird cage you wanted."

"Awesome. Take it into the hallway."

Daniel came inside and set down the cage. It was the canary type, dome shaped. Faded white paint with a little bit of chipping around some of curves and hinges.

"I hope it doesn't look to worn down," he said with a little bit of discouragement in his voice.

"It's fine, tell Roddy that he's not such an ass after all."

He laughed, then I walked into the kitchen and he followed.

"So I heard you met my sister." Oh shit she told on me.

"Haha yeah. Are you, like, identical twins or something? 'Cause you two look exactly alike," I tried to change the subject a bit.

"Uhhh you could say that... Does Ludwig have his last school day today?" Copy cat, I was changing the subject, not you.

"Ja, it ends in about 2 hours. It's 1 o'clock now, they get out at three. Stupid snow days suck when you have to push them into summer."

"We did that a lot when I went to school," he replied, "it would snow really hard once and block off the roads forever."

For a little while we sat there and talked in the kitchen. I kept thinking about how much Daniel looks like Elizabeta. Now that I think of them as different genders it starts to really make me question myself. I was conscious of how much they both look alike when I was hitting on Elizabeta; but, after she told me about being engaged, it was starting to get weird. And then it was even weirder when I really thought about it. So if I was attracted to how Elizabeta looks, does that mean I should be attracted to how Daniel looks? That disturbs me on so many levels. I decided say something about it to Daniel.

"So, if I found your sister attractive, does that mean I should find you attractive? I mean, you got the same face pretty much. Can't deny that."

"Uhmm. I-uh... I don't know how to answer that. I mean, I suppose if you want to feel that way about another guy why not, but I can't really say the same about myself..." he replied shakily, stuttering several times with a bright flush.

I grinned at his remark, "What are you trying to say, Daniel?"

"Well, I... have to go... somewhere," he drawled with uncertainty and smiled in hope of his excuse to cover up. Too bad I saw through it.

"Oh, do you?" I said in a low, questioning tone. I started to slowly rise from my chair and lean over the table. Daniel scooted his chair back immediately and it slammed against the wall only two feet from the table. Haha my cramped kitchen has it's perks. He could escape either to my left or right, my left would be easier for him. He did duck out to the left and I shot out after him backing him up to the wall. He punched me in the upper arm right on one of those pressure points, so that fucking hurt.

"Sheisse, you can hit hard!"

Before he could even retort I tackled him and pulled him to the ground. I rarely rough-house with Lud because I'm afraid I'm gonna break him. When he gets a little bigger, the horseplay will be beyond all control.

"You know," he grunted, "if you just wanted to jack around you could have asked, fasz arca!" He struggled to gain the dominance between the two of us.

"How do I know you would have complied, huh?" I cackled. I pinned his arms on either sides of his head and rammed my knees onto his thighs.

"Okayokayokayokay, get oFF," he heaved himself upright to where I was sort of straddling him and holding his wrists. He blushed heavily and squirmed out from under me. I sat on the floor giggling at him.

"I must be leaving now, I have something I need to do."

"Okay, fun tackling you, we should do it again," I raised my eyebrows and squinted my eyes with a smug smile on my face.

Daniel turned on his heel and started to walk away. I heard a "Yeah, maybe" from down the hall. This looks like it will be a promising friendship.

A/N: squeal. I am sooo sorry I am like two days off my normal schedule of every three days. Oopsies! I had -come on guess it, hint: it sucks ass and makes you cry and gasp in fear- you guessed it, "it which shall not be named aka writers block" *gasp* crie. I overcame it though so yayyy.
