Okay, who's proud of me for actually writing this chapter before new years like I said, I am I am. Anyway, I think this chapter is a little longer so Yay! right? Really exciting stuff coming up soon guys I promise. Oh and I wanted to answer the person who asked about other nations being in this. They will indeed run into more nations along the way, this will be a farely long story, so quite a few actually. But I'm not going to tell you who is appearing, so you'll just have to wait and see. Last thing, I probably wont be able to get the next chapter up as quickly as the others because I'm going to the land without computers for a few days. If you actually read this congratulations! Now go read the story.
Feliciano groaned loudly as the heat under the many blankets dragged him back to consciousness. He kicked them off him and mumbled a bit more before sliding off the bed. "Too early to be up in an apocalypse" he said to himself, smiling a bit when he saw that Liechtenstein had managed to stay asleep. As quietly as he could he made his way to the kitchen and tried to find something for breakfast. Normally he wouldn't plan to have two meals in a day, but today he thought they could squeeze it. To celebrate. Tinned beans. Not as appetizing as pasta, but he didn't think there was anything that wouldn't taste amazing when eaten there.
Liechtenstein came into the kitchen just as he placed two bowls on the table "Good Morning Lili". She smiled up at him and took a seat at the table " Good Morning Feliciano." Although they were used to not eating as much lately and they had eaten a rather large dinner, both of them dug into the food and had finished in a small matter of minutes. "We should get some water to wash the plates" Feliciano said rather contently stretching out his arms. "And we should pack some supplies into our bags in case we have to Y'know" Liechtenstein replied placing both bowls on the plates from last night. "The water will be heavy, you shouldn't try and carry it with your leg" Feliciano said frowning a little at the concept they might have to leave, but knowing it was definitely true "I'll get it and see if I can find any fish or something, you get the supplies And if you find any bandages I'll try and dress your leg".
Feliciano hummed to himself splashing his feet in the water. He'd filled up the bucket already and should have gone back, but it was so nice down there, and Lili was probably still packing the bags. It was a rather nice river, surrounded by large trees, the banks weren't too sandy and the river itself was full of fish and even turtles. He smiled as one of the turtles came close to where he was sitting and leant down to pat it's head. The moment his finger touched it, the turtle darted away, but not too far and Feliciano just laughed. "You remind me of one of my friends" he said "So I'm going to call you Kiku after him". This river, it was so full of life, it was as though nothing that had happened was real. So beautiful, that he could just go back into the city, hop on a train to go see Germany. That the world would really be okay.
His mind had drifted into "what-ifs" for quite a while and it wasn't until a loud noise touched his ear that he was brought back to reality. Blinking in confusion he tried to work out what it was, it happened again, a scream. Liechtenstein scream. Liechtenstein had screamed. He scrambled to his feet knocking the bucket over in the process and ran up the hill towards the cabin. His heart pounded in his chest, and no matter how fast his feet moved it still wasn't fast enough "LILI!" he shouted jumping over the tin can fence and pulling the door open.
He stopped, feet glued to the floor, mind hazed in confusion, eyes blinking as he tried to make sense of the four eyes trained on him. "Wh..What?" was all he could manage as his hand dropped to his side. "Holy Fuck. Feliciano!" a voice shot over Liechtenstein's. He knew that voice, that loud coarse voice. He knew that figure standing in front of him, tall, friendly, adorned with two warm red eyes. "Gilbert" he blurted out pretty much jumping onto the other man. Gilbert laughed and gave him a tight squeeze before placing Feliciano on the ground again. "What are you. How. What?" he said checking that Liechtenstein was okay.
"No No No. This is MY cabin. I'm asking you guys." Gilbert said dropping his bag to the ground. "Your cabin?" Liechtenstein piped up, "You weren't here when we arrived". He nodded in response "Yeah, I got into a sticky situation last night. But I'm just too awesome for those guys and I got out easy this morning." Feliciano stood in the same spot, grinning like an idiot and unable to say anything. "Oh well you don't mind us staying do you?" she asked a little nervously. Gilbert laughed, "You kidding? This is the best thing that happened since all this started."
"So how'd you end up in Switzerland Gilbert? It's not somewhere you usually are. Why are you stuck here?" Feliciano asked dipping the bucket, one again, into the cold river water. "Oh" he plunged a second bucket into the water, and if Feliciano didn't know better he'd have said his eyes were watering up " I wasn't here when it started. I was visiting" he coughed a little " Liz and Roddy . I was actually trying to get back to Ludwig, but I couldn't travel on the main roads and got a bit lost. Thought I'd stop for a while, Y'know get my bearings". Feli waded through the water back to the bank and placed the full bucket on it, he was unsure which part of that sentence had intrigued and worried him more, but finally settled he'd ask in turn. " Are they-". "Dead." Gilbert replied not even letting him finish the question. "Sorry G-". Again Gilbert stopped him from finishing, this time simply with a grunt and the splash of his bucket on the bank.
"Gilbert do you think Ludwig's a-". "Definitely." Feliciano nodded, "Are you still going to go find him?" his voice had begun to quiver a bit from thinking about what hell Ludwig might be in right now. Gilbert laughed, his voice managing to stand out even above the waterfall " He's my little brother. I mean he's tough as nails, but he wont last forever without someone to annoy him". Feli smiled, dipping his head under water a few times in lieu of a bath "Can I come with you?". Gilbert looked over to him a little worried "don't you think staying here would be better, I mean it's dangero-", this time it was Feliciano who interrupted. "Gilbert, please, he means so, I just can't not, need to, more than anything" His voice shook a little in neediness and the sentence was broken up, but the point got across. He nodded, understanding how Feliciano felt completely "Okay, but what about Liechtenstein?". That moment lili arrived at the bank, cringing a little with the effort on her leg, "I finished packing the bags. Now," she slid into the water "I need a bath"
