Chapter 9: War
Gilbert went back out to the party, which had turned into a tomato battlefield. Apparently, Antonio had orchestrated the event, much to Ludwig's displease. It seemed like everyone was in an alliance. The groups were the Nordic Five (and Peter), Axis Powers, the Soviets, the Asians (except Kiku), the Bad Touch Two and Lovino (they weren't a trio until Gilbert joined in and Lovi was forced by Antonio), the Magic Trio (except Norway), and others like Roderich and Elizaveta. Those who were not fighting were eating popcorn and watching the "war." Everyone seemed to be having a good time.
Tomatoes were flying through the air when Gilbert joined his buddies behind a trash can. He picked up one from Antonio's heaping pile and threw it in a random direction before ducking behind his shield. It landed on Arthur, causing Francis to laugh. The Frenchman was rewarded with a tomato to the face by Vladmir. Lovino threw a tomato at Feliciano, which hit the other Italian. He let out a surprised "Ve!" and hid behind Ludwig, who got hit with a tomato by Gilbert. Ludwig wiped off the tomato from his shirt and threw a tomato at Gilbert. The two brothers kept on exchanging tomatoes until Elizaveta hit Gilbert with a tomato. She put on a teasing smile and went over to join the Axis. Roderich soon followed her. Norway kept on throwing tomatoes at Matthias, so he decided to switch alliances and joined up with Arthur and Vlad, completing the Magic Trio.
The tomato fight went on for many more hours and when Alfred woke up and went outside. Everyone was dripping with tomato, with an exception of those who didn't fight. The American's jaw dropped. He had missed all the action! He groaned and started to walk over to pester a tomato-covered Brit until he saw Gilbert. "Dude, Gil! Your hair actually has color now! Oooooh! And it matches your eyes, too." The American broke out laughing until Gil threw a tomato at his face. This started another tomato war. By the time everything was over, everyone (even the neutrals) were dripping tomatoes.
Elizaveta approached Gilbert while Alfred was in the shower. "Hey Gil, I notice that you and Alfred are, let's just say, very close." She shot a knowing look at Gilbert and walked away before he could say anything. Everyone was leaving, when Alfred walked over to Gilbert and gave him a "bro-hug." He fell asleep that night thinking about what Elizaveta had said and if Alfred was trying to imply something.
A/N
Yes, an entire chapter dedicated to a tomato war. I really have nothing better to do. Oh, and some feelings at the end. But not bad feels. Good feels. As usual, reviews, favs, and follows are welcome and appreciated. Hope you enjoyed this crazy chapter!
