Flashback…

Gilbert and Ludwig had stayed in one spot longer than intended, a kind old man had been helping them, giving them food and a place to stay.

Gilbert always made sure to show his gratitude to the old man.

"Thank you Old Fritz, you've been so good to us for the past month. I can't thank you enough" he'd always say.

The old man just nodded and smiled "Stay as long as you need too" he'd tell them.

When Elizabeta had gotten the letter she went into some type of shock "Is this some kind of sick joke" she thought angrily as she ripped the letter open to read it.

No…it wasn't a joke… written in the letter there were only things that only Gilbert would know about, that and his hand writing was nearly impossible to forge.

She was shaking at this point, her love was still alive and she had not waited for him, for upon her left ring finger she wore and engagement ring.

Eliza cried over how cruel fate had been to her.

She had to go see him. She had too...what would she do when she saw him? Tell him that after a few months of his absence she had already gotten engaged to the son of her boss?

"Gilbert deserves my honesty I can't lie to him…" with what little money she had saved for school she began her voyage to Germany.

If the address on the letter was correct she'd be able to find Gilbert at the house of a man he referred to as "Old Fritz".

Tears were streaking her face the poor girl was in so much pain. She had done all this on a whim, giving little explanation to her fiancée telling him she was going to go visit family which he believed.

She hated herself so much over what she was about to do.

After a while she came across the house, which was much larger than she had anticipated. The Old Fritz was well off.

She gulped as she knocked on the door, after a few minutes the door was opened by Ludwig.

Eliza gasped over how much taller he had gotten, then she remembered Feliciana…what would she tell her little sister?

"Gute Tag" said the boy.

"Ludwig? I don't speak German sorry…" she told him.

Ludwig's eyes widened when the woman had spoken his name…it was...so…familiar. That was when his flashbacks had begun.

He held his head and seemed he was at the verge of fainting.

"Ludwig!" said Eliza getting a hold of him.

"Hey let go of my brother!" she heard someone yell at her direction.

Her eyes met Gilbert. He froze at the sight of her.

"E-eliza?" he was able to mutter.

Ludwig got a hold of himself and looked at the woman "Oh so you're the woman who has my brother head over hee-" he wasn't able to finish his sentence as he was soon shoved away from Elizabeta by Gilbert who held her so tightly.

Ludwig got up from the floor, a tad bit annoyed over being shoved but he couldn't stay mad after seeing how happy his brother was.

"I'll give you two some privacy then" he said rolling his eyes.

"…Ich liebe dich…" whispered Gilbert to Eliza.

Ludwig sighed "I wonder if I'll ever love somebody that much" he felt a pain in his chest and an overwhelming sadness. He didn't understand why tears were falling from his eyes when he caught sight of a broom.

"I don't like amnesia" he groaned knowingly trying to remember something, and sat next to the man he called Old Fritz.

"Don't worry young man" said Old Fritz, as Ludwig wiped his face. "You still have your memories-they are in you, they're just lost and you have to find them."

Still Ludwig frowned "I just started crying at the sight of a broom"

"So I heard we have a visitor. Who is it?" he asked

"It's the woman my brother is in love with, he wrote a letter to her about our situation."

"I see" Said Old Fritz "She must be a real gem."

All the time Gilbert embraced Eliza, she felt so warm and secure. It felt right and she was happy in his arms.

Naturally she began to cry, thinking back to when she thought she would never feel his embrace again and she cried harder after she realized she would never feel his embrace again once she told him about her engagement.

"Gil…" she said lightly attempting to part her self from him but he only tightened his grip on her.

"Gil" she said more sternly.

She felt him pull himself off of her; he looked at her so lovingly. "I…just can't believe you're here" he said and leaned in to give her a kiss.

Eliza turned her face, landing Gilbert's lips on her cheek. The touch of his lips still caused goose bumps to form all over her.

"Eliza?" asked Gilbert hurt over the rejection.

Elizabeta gulped she didn't have the strength to speak so she just grabbed his wrist and pulled him out the entrance to look for a private place where they may speak.

Finally she stopped at an area that was surrounded by trees.

Gilbert had remained quiet as he was being dragged along by his love, once they stopped he grabbed her wrist and pulled her mouth to his lips, he felt her struggle and try to pull away but he refused to let her go.

He kissed her roughly yet passionately; something was telling him to make the most out of the kiss.

With force and tears streaming her cheeks she was able to finally push him off of her.

When he was about to ask what had gotten into her he caught sight if her left hand and the engagement ring that adorned it.

He gave her a look of betrayal and then he looked angry.

"It's that damn Roderich!" he growled through his teeth.

Eliza stayed quiet.

Gilbert's fist collided with a tree, too angry and full of adrenaline to care about his bloody flesh.

"Vati was right! She wouldn't wait for me!" he thought

"Why!?" he yelled at her tears pooling his eyes "WHY!? I'm gone for a few months…and you run off and get engaged!?"

Eliza mumbled something while not meeting his gaze.

"What? Speak up!" he spat.

"I said I thought you were dead" she said clearly.

Gilbert looked at her in disbelief "What? Why the hell would you think that!?" he asked her.

"It's what your father said…he lied, Gilbert…"she told him.

"He said that, you, Ludwig, and your mother were killed. All these months…I had no idea you were still breathing" she shook her head unable to fathom her situation tears flying off of her face.

Gilbert was angry.

He was angry at Eliza, angry at Roderich, but mostly angry at his father.

Gilbert grabbed her left hand and looked at it "It takes you this long to get over my death?" he asked her.

"No Gilbert I still love you!" she sobbed.

"Well this is a nice way to show it" he snapped putting her hand in her face.

"Gil I-"she began defensively but then stopped.

Taking a breath she spoke once more. "After we got the news about Feliciana's grandfather she became sad and Roderich's parents became her guardian…since they are always away on business Roderich and I were basically raising the girl" Eliza couldn't help but smile a bit. "It was like playing house in a way. We are like Feliciana's parents."

Then she met Gilbert's gaze of disapproval he shook his head.

"Do you love him?" he finally asked her.

Eliza nodded hesitantly "I wouldn't have said yes if I didn't"

Gilbert was enraged "So you came all this way…"

"I wanted to be honest with you Gilbert!" said Eliza quickly. "You deserve my honesty over what happened!"

Gilbert sighed and took a few steps to face her; he grabbed both her hands and pressed them to his lips.

"…bleib bei mir…" he whispered his lips still pressed against her hands.

"…what?" Eliza asked softly.

He let her hands drop and he cradled her face forcing her eyes on his. "Stay with me" he whispered.

She was mesmerized by his gaze. "Gil…" she said in a tone of pity.

She wanted to stay with him, but it was too late for their happiness.

She closed her eyes causing more tears to fall. "It's too late for us Gil…" she told him pushing her hand against his chest to make some distance.

"I'm sorry…but this is…goodbye…"

Elizabeta turned and walked away. He watched her leave.

It was nine whole years until they met again.

A few weeks later Elizabeta knocked on Ignatius door. When he opened it Eliza's hand greeted his face, then she turned around and walked away. (She slapped him)

Ludwig lied on his bed and stared at the ceiling blissfully enjoying his wonderful memories with Feliciana.

"I'll come for you soon" he said. "I'm sorry I hurt you. Don't forgive me when you see me…be mean to me."

Then he realized he wouldn't like being hated, but then he acknowledged Feliciana could never hate him.

He turned on his bed. "I wonder what you're doing right now, and gazed at the phone hoping it would ring, and it would be Feliciana asking him to come over again.

Then the phone rang.

Ludwig was quick to his feet and answered the phone. "Feli!?" he answered hopefully.

He heard chuckling on the other end. It was his brother.

"Oh" he said in a tone of disappointment.

"Hey West" said Gilbert "The store was closed and then it started raining really hard so I'm spending the night at Eliza's tonight."

Ludwig's eyes widened but then he nodded "Well alright, congratulations on the sex see you tomorrow"

"Hey IT'S NOT-"but Ludwig hung up.

"Good for you brother, I'm glad you got your girl. Now I will get mine soon. Please wait a little longer Feli"

He looked at the phone and considered calling her. "No" he said "I have to tell you I love in person. I have to show you…how much I love you"

He hugged his pillow "Feli, thank you for not leaving me alone when I saved you. I miss you…"

He thought about her until he fell asleep.

Feliciana managed to convince Sakura to share the bed with her (it was cute), Sakura was sound asleep, but Feliciana lied with her eyes open thinking about Ludwig, her heart ached for him.

"I don't think he hates me…" she thought hopefully "but does he still love me?"

The next morning, Sakura awoke first and relaxed when she realized she hadn't overslept.

She peered over at her sleeping friend and poked her shoulder.

"Feliciana-Chan, wake up please" she said nudging the girl.

She opened her eyes and looked at Sakura.

"That was easier than I thought" said Sakura.

"How are you feeling? Can you talk?" she asked.

Feliciana shook her head.

"You didn't even try" said Sakura sternly

Feliciana shrugged and Sakura sighed.

"It looks like I have to contact your relatives then."

Feliciana looked confused.

"I can't leave you by yourself. Not talking is very serious."

Again the girl shrugged and crawled out of bed. She pulled out a tiny black notebook and handed it to Sakura turning the page for her.

"Lovino Vargas? Is that your brother?" she asked.

Feliciana nodded.

"Alright I shall call him."

Feliciana thought about how early it was and was about to stop Sakura but a man's voice was heard through the phone.

"Do you have any idea what time it is!?" yelled the man "Who is this!? What is so important!?"

Sakura gulped "Umm…hello I'm calling on behalf of your sister" she said.

"My sister!? What did she do this time!?" said the man.

"Well…she uh…lost her voice and needs to be taken care off." Said Sakura

"So?" said the man

"She's not eating"

There was silence on the other line for a few seconds then Lovino spoke again.

"I'll be right over" he said in defeat.

Sakura hung up the phone. "He sounds…brotherly. Does he live far?"

Feliciana shook her head and picked up her sketch book to write something.

"Oh good then it shouldn't be that long. How come he doesn't live here?" she asked.

Feliciana made a face that told Sakura not to ask any more questions.

"I see, well I will visit you again tomorrow, I'll wait with you until your brother get's here."

Feliciana sighed. "I wonder if my brother is still mad-but he wouldn't come to take care of me unless he still cared."

Feliciana smiled so did Sakura noticing that things were brightening up for her.

Lovino Vargas hated Ignatius Beilschmidt; he blamed him for the death of his grandfather.

He tried fighting him when he went to go tell him the news but his cousin Antonio stopped him.

"I hate you! You damn potato sucker!" yelled with tears in his eyes "It's your fault! Everything is your fault!"

His cousin was holding him back with little effort apologizing over his rude little cousin.

"Ah now I see why the Edelstein's wouldn't take him" he mumbled.

The boy cried harder and tried to wiggle himself free from his cousin's grasp.

"Lovino…" said Antonio seriously. A voice that stunned Lovino for a minute making Antonio think that he had relaxed, loosening his grip on Lovino.

That was a mistake.

Lovino quickly head butted his cousin, taking the wind out of him.

"Don't talk to me like that you bastard!" he screamed then turned to Ignatius.

"I hate you! I don't want any of you Beilschmidt's close to my family ever again!"

So he ran off.

"Sorry" said Antonio apologizing to Ignatius.

"I don't know how you handle that child" muttered Ignatius.

Antonio got serious "He isn't as bad as he seems. Besides I promised the Edelstein's I would watch over him. Thank you for telling us the news. I'm sorry for your loss"

Antonio turned his back to Ignatius and went back into his house.

Ignatius sighed, he felt awful about the fall of his friend, but still the loss of his wife was much more powerful.

Lovino ran to the mansion where his sister was staying holding a loaf of bread thinking "What the hell is wrong with my stupid sister!"

In contrast to what Feliciana thought, her brother did indeed love her very much. The only problem was that he soon realized that his sister was what someone would call "The Golden Child", ultimately assuming she was loved more than he was so in the end he wasn't always too nice to her.

He pushed right passed the gate and barged in through the door.

"Feliciana!" he yelled.

(A/N I put the PruHun at the end of this chapter feel free to read it, if you hate PruHun skip this)

Gilbert had his mouth open in shock over what his brother had said, he was still holding the phone to his ear.

"Congratulations on the sex?" Gilbert thought.

He shook his head ignoring his brother's remark and finally hung up the phone. He turned around to Eliza's cozy looking apartment.

"Hey Eliza where'd you go?" he yelled out, his shoe's making water noises as he took his steps. "I want some beer"

Eliza emerged from her bedroom holding some dry clothes (her clothes changed as well).

"Here" she said offering him the clothes "Change into this before you catch a cold" then she went to her kitchen to get some beer out.

Gilbert grabbed the clothes and analyzed it "These wouldn't happen to be Roderich's old clothes would it?" he asked his disapproval clear in his voice.

Eliza handed him the can of beer.

"What if they are?" she challenged

Gilbert glared at her "Despite how nice of an offer you made me, I would rather risk this storm and go home than to ever wear his clothes." He opened the beer and drank nearly half of it "I would rather catch a cold-"he finished the beer "YOU KNOW WHAT I would rather be naked than to ever wear his clothes."

Eliza sighed already annoyed by how difficult he was being "Relax they're mine. Now go change while I go get my first aid kit." She said.

"And some more beer!" he yelled.

"Oh so I'm guessing the cheapskate took every single one of his things back in the divorce then" he said heading to the bathroom.

"Gil I will strip you naked and kick you out into the rain if you don't shut up"

"Are you sure you just don't want to strip me naked?" he said while peeking his head out of the bathroom door.

Eliza quick as lightning grabbed a nearby apple and threw it right at him.

"OW!"

She hit him square in the face.

"Bulls eye" she said to herself, and then continued looking for the first-aid kit.

"Hey Gil hand me your clothes so I can put them in the dryer."

Gilbert emerged from the bathroom and handed his clothes to Elizabeta.

"Thanks now go sit in the couch. I'll be there shortly."

"Hey don't forget the beer!" he added.

Gilbert sighed looking at her up and down; she had put on some comfortable clothes, some shorts and a tank top. Gilbert wondered if she was even wearing a bra. He watched her put his clothes in a dryer and couldn't help but look at her legs and her bare feet, she was still so cute to him.

Eliza grabbed two beers and walked over to the couch.

"Alright" she said sitting next to him and turning his face towards him with her hand.

Gilbert blushed and avoided eye contact.

Eliza grinned, as she analyzed the cut on his lip.

"Why are you so shy all of a sudden?" she asked.

Gilbert didn't say anything since he thought it obvious.

"So how did this happen?"

"I was play fighting with Ludwig"

"Oh he wasn't at school today-is everything alright?" she asked worried.

"It's about to be. He has his memories again." Gilbert grabbed the new can of beer and drank some of it.

Eliza gasped.

"By the way…" he said "I couldn't help but notice Roderich wasn't so shocked to see that I was alive. Did you tell him you went to Germany to pulverize my heart?"

Eliza looked down "Well, Roderich is no fool, he found out after I slapped your father. He asked me why I did it…."

Gilbert began laughing "You slapped my vati!?" He took another drink.

Despite Gilberts laughing, Elizabeta remained serious. "Yes…" she said tears stinging her eyes.

"He caused such a heart break for everyone…I couldn't even bring myself to tell Feliciana." Eliza let a few tears fall as she turned to him "You have no idea how I felt when your father told me you were dead!"

At that point Eliza herself grabbed the second beer and began to drink, although no where near as quick or as much as Gilbert.

Her face relaxed a little "Even when I went to go see you afterwards I thought I was never going to see you again Gil…"

Gilbert just stared at her in silence with a look of pity.

"Weren't you happy with Roderich?" he asked.

Eliza looked up at him and wondered if he was asking a serious question.

"Yes" she told him "I was happy."

Gilbert nodded and headed towards the door.

"Hey where are you going?" she asked getting up after him.

He drank the remaining beer and tossed it in the trash.

"I shouldn't have come" he said but Eliza wrapped both his arms around his chest forbidding him to take a step further.

"Don't you dare take another step" she growled.

It was like old times.

"What are you going to do about it?" he grinned swiftly turning to face her incarcerating both her wrists with his hands.

Eliza just glared at him and pouted.

Gilbert blushed at how adorable she looked.

"Fine, I'll stay then." He said giving in.

He let go of her wrists and noticed how distant her gaze was.

"Ha!" he laughed "Drunk already aren't you!? You could never drink as much as the awesome me!" He led her to the couch.

"Anyways, if you were so happy why did you divorce him!?" he was beginning to get loud (it happened whenever he started drinking.

Eliza took another drink of her beer, still with a distant look on her face.

She set the beer down and turned to Gilbert while getting really close to his face.

"Uh…" muttered Gilbert nervously as he looked into her eyes.

She was basically on top of him at this point.

"He wasn't you" she said (looking adorable) "…Not you…" she mumbled bringing her mouth on his.

"You're my knight" and she kissed him.

Gilbert's brain was already a bit dizzy, and just gave into temptation by accepting her kiss.

Eliza opened her eyes and smiled at Gilbert.

"I'm sorry I married Roderich. In the end I wish I could've stayed with you."

Gilbert blushed and sat her on his lap while stroking her hair.

"Didn't you say you were happy?"

Elizabeta giggled and kissed his cheek.

"Yes I was, but when Feliciana left things sort of fell apart for us. Anyways I would've been happier with you!"

"She's so drunk…" thought Gilbert "I better put her to bed before we do something we'll both regret."

"Alright Eliza, I need to wake up early to take my brother to see my father. So it's time for bed. Where am I sleeping?"

Eliza thought for a second and exclaimed happily "With me!" while placing her arms around his neck.

Gilbert sighed "I'll just take her to bed and sleep on the couch"

As he carried her to her bedroom she proceeded to constantly kiss his cheek happily, every kiss inching a bit closer to Gilbert's mouth.

Gilbert groaned "Augh…what is going on with her?"

Laid her in her bed and put the covers on her, as he was going to head out she latched on to his neck.

"Where are you going!?" she hiccupped "You're sleeping with me" and with all her strength she was able to pull him onto her bed.

"E-eliza!?" said Gilbert feeling light headed over her embrace. "Get a hold of yourself woman!" He said red in the face trying to get away from her.

Eliza just laughed and tugged on Gilbert's shirt to bring him closer.

"Why are you fighting me on this?" she asked.

Gilbert frowned "I…I have me pride…."

"So you don't love me?" she asked.

Gilbert groaned, slightly drunk already he spoke his mind.

"Nein… Ich liebe dich Elizabeta…" and he lowered himself onto her, kissing her slowly and happily.

He wrapped his around her torso and deepened his kiss.

Eliza smiled "I've had dreams like this. Will you be my knight again?"

At this point Gilbert was nuzzling her neck but managed to make a noise that a indicated a "yes" but it could've been a moan since one of his hands was unbuckling his pants while the other was pulling Eliza's clothes.

Gilbert took a breath and looked into her eyes.

"I want you to know I'm not doing this because I m drunk or anything…I really do…love you."

Eliza blushed "Gilbert…" she mumbled.

"This is okay right?" he thought "We'll figure out what to do from here."

A/N: Hello I'm back! Well from this day on I'm back to posting once a week (maybe twice a week). I really didn't like this chapter I rewrote it many times, but still I'd like some reviews for it haha. I'm thinking about making this fanfiction into a comic after I'm done. I already drew a page on deviant art just type in the title of this story. It's not much but if you'd like to see this into a comic please let me know. New chapter is on it's way...unless North Korea bombs my country then nobody gets to know how this story ends.
