Author's Note: I feel I must justify myself for this silliness. "Germans love David Hasselhoff" is a pretty well known joke, but did you know he actually performed at the celebration for the fall of the Berlin Wall? Some credit his performance of "Looking for Freedom" as helping to bring the East and West populations together.

Prompt: Germany and Prussia Being Bros


"Hey West, you enjoying this concert? David Hasselhoff, he's right up your alley, right?" His voice was all cheek, the fact that he was attempting to make fun of Germany clear in every word. Prussia slung his arm around his younger brother's shoulder.

"Actually, I am. I enjoy his music a lot," Germany replied, posture tightening under Prussia's casual contact.

Prussia's arm dropped. He'd expected Germany to say that no, he did not love David Hasselhoff. He expected a 'shut up' or an exasperated 'Brooother.' He did not expect Germany to love David Hasselhoff. Because he did too, and except for beer and wurst and thinking Italy was a pretty nice guy, it had been near impossible to discover things they had in common in the last month since the Wall fell. It made living together awkward, that was for sure. But they were managing, and it was so much better than the situation Prussia had been in before.

"Really?"

"Uh yeah, why not? He's popular here. I was glad that they booked him for this celebration." Germany's eyebrows raised and he slipped out of Prussia's armhold.

Prussia grinned. "I-I LOVE David Hasselhoff. He's so awesome."

Germany's lips quirked up in a smile. "Really Brother? I assumed you were mocking me, as you generally are."

"Well I was at first, but when you didn't react..." He shrugged. "It's so cool that we have something else in common, West!"

"Hm, I'm not sure liking the same singer is that huge a deal."

"But it's a start!" Prussia wrapped his arm around Germany's shoulder once again and pulled him to his side. "I've been lookin' for freedom," he sang along. "C'mon West, c'mon. You too."

Germany shook his head but found himself unable to prevent his smile from growing wider. He began to sing along, quiet first, then louder as the song continued. Within time, his arm was resting on Prussia's back.

East and West averted their eyes to the Wall he was performing on. The Berlin Wall, which now no longer separated the two brothers from each other.
