Thunder roared furiously once again as Germany scurried through the hallway, fighting back tears. Lightning cackled like an old witch when he reached Prussia's open door.

"Bruder [1]," Germany whispered, going more into the room with each boom and strike.

Prussia rose from his bed, rubbing his eyes before looking at Germany with great concern.

"What's wrong, West?" he consoled softly while the little country ran into his arms.

"I'm scared," Germany whimpered, snuggling into Prussia affrightedly.

Prussia almost squealed at the sight of the fearful boy. He looked like a puppy that had gotten lost in the rain! His blue eyes were large and tear-filled, his blonde hair was still messy from his consistent tossing and turning; he was SO CUTE!

In spite of the adorable image, Prussia wrapped his arms around Germany.

"It's okay, West. I'll be here to protect you. Always."
