For My Brother: Saturdays

Disclaimer: Don't own Hetalia.
Saturday is drinking night.
Ludwig doesn't want a hangover when he needs to work the next day and Gilbert wouldn't tolerate all work with no play.
Usually, Gilbert will drag Ludwig to one of these pubs because someone in the office mentioned it but there are occasions that Ludwig will be the one bringing Gilbert to a drinking hall. They stay there till ether Gilbert gets into a fight or Ludwig runs out of money on him.
On occasion, Gilbert and Ludwig will remain at their home drinking whatever beer Gilbert could buy during the day. They'll drink it all and Gilbert would tell stories of better times when the world was filled with sword fights. Ludwig would listen and sometimes Roderich would join in on Gilbert's drunken stories, providing the truth because the "Sir Awesomeness" had a tendency to put make up some facts. Ludwig would laugh and let the weight of the week go as he poured more beer into everyones glasses.
Sometimes, Gilbert would ramble off and say "Ludwig, those were really some great times... It was a lot of fun. I wish you had been there."
Ludwig would always reply, "It would have been interesting" to that statement. There are times when Ludwig felt deprived of the time with him being a relatively new country compared to his neighbors. But Ludwig knew that wishing for the impossible was pointless and would shove it to the back of his thoughts.
These weekly ritual of drinking would go on till the end of days. Ether at home during the harder days or at the pub with his people around him.
Till the Saturday, Ludwig sat alone in the dark with two empty cups on his counter wishing for the happy times of yesterday.
Authors Note: I don't usually update this quickly. Not sure why I did but oh well... The idea of Ludwig sitting alone with these two empty glasses hit me pretty strong today and went from there to write this story. I'm okay with how it turned out, it probably would have been better had it not been written at 11 pm but oh wells.
As always, please review.
