It was a nice saturday morning. The sun was shining and birds were singing their tunes. Flowers and trees waved nicely as a cool breeze blew past them. A really nice day.

Although, it didn't felt so nice to you...

"Get your ass moving, lady! I want you out of my apartment within one hour! You hear me?!"

"Y-yes sir..."

Warm tears streamed down you rosy cheeks as you quickly packed all your stuff in any bag you could find.
Your heart raced, fear and scariness filled your gut.
Where did you have to go now? Who would be able to help you? Why? Why couldn't you just stay?
Simple; you recently were fired from your job, the only job you were able to find which would pay you good enough to pay your rent from. You ran out of money very quickly and soon your landlord began to complain that you were late with the money...
You were able to find another job, but it was never as good as your old one. You barely had enough money to live from. The bills would only pile up and now the landlord had enough of it and kicked you out.

After you were finished packing you clumsily shoved everything out. Sobbing all the time. He didn't pay any mind to it and rudely slammed the door shut.

You kept on crying as you put everything in your car. Opening the door and you sat down in the driver’s seat.

You were hopeless... Your family lived too far away, you didn't really have 'good' friends who would let you stay with them for a while... The only ones you could think of where the two German brothers, Gilbert and Ludwig.

Oh wait, excuse me... German and Prussian brothers...

How you met the two was... Interesting... To say as least.

--flashback--

You were sitting in the park, observing the view.
People were walking, talking, laughing, children were playing in the wide green field, as well as dogs playing around, and a few couples were sitting under trees.
You smiled and kept on looking at everyone.
Suddenly you heard a chirping noise and looked to your right. A small yellow bird was flying up to you... It kept coming closer and eventually nestled himself in your hair!
You were surprised, it was such a cute little thing and not even afraid of you. Carefully you lifted you hand up to the top of your head, not knowing what the bird would do. But it happily hopped on your hand and you held it in front of you.

"Hey little one,"
You smiled,
"What are you doing here all alone?"

You petted it and it chirped happily.

Since you were occupied with that cute little yellow ball of feathers, you didn't see the three dogs running up to you...
As they reached you they jumped, making you fall off the bench.

You weren't afraid of dogs, but just wasn't prepared for such an impact. Apparently the bird and dogs knew each other because the bird was sitting on one of the dog’s head.
You were still lying on the grass as the dogs kept hovering over you and sniffing you.

"Guys! Zhat is so un-awesome!"
"Blackie! Aster! Berlitz! Sitzen!!"

Two voices called not far away from you.
'Germans?' You asked yourself, the accent was clearly hearable but still...

You laughed, you didn't really mind the animals. It was rather funny.

Finally the dogs pulled away and you were able to sit up straight.
As you opened your eyes they were met by bright red ones and a pale face. You were slightly surprised and your eyes widened a bit.

"You okay frauline? Kesesese~ Vest! Your dogs got her good, she got drool all over!"

You looked at yourself and found out that he was right, you clothes were slightly wet from the dogs...

"Eww..."
"I am very sorry for vhat my dogs did to you... Here, let me help you"

A strong hand pulled you up, as you looked at him you saw that his eyes were a very nice shade of bright light blue and he had blond, slicked back hair.
You smiled and chuckled a bit,

"Hehe thank you. And it's okay, I don't mind much. They seem nice and not aggressive, so it's really okay"

You felt a little weight on your head, what was followed by a satisfying soft chirp and a slight shifting.
You figured that the little bird was sitting on your head again and giggled.

"O-oi! Gilbird! Get off her! Zhat is so not awesome! Leaving the awesome me for a girl?!"

You turned towards the boy, looking at him again you also saw his white hair... 'Albino, eh? Interesting... But what is up with all the 'awesome'? A bit too much ego...?'

"Luddyyyy~ Gilbird left me for zhat mädchen~!"
A childish whine was heard from him, next to you an irritated sigh,
"Gilbert, don't call me zhat! And I don't care... Zhe dogs vould only go vild if zhey see him..."

'So that explains the sudden 'glomps' from them...'

You took the bird carefully from your head, which caused some complaining sounds from it as you did, and walked over to the albino, Gilbert.

"Here"
Standing on your toes you placed it on top of his head and smiled,
"Better?"
You asked him.
A wide smirk formed on his face,

"Ja, much better! Danke liebe!"
"No problem"

He leaned closer to your face and stared at you, still with that smirk.
"So... Vhat's your name~? I'm zhe awesome Gilbert! And zhis here is my awesome pet, Gilbird!"

You laughed at him, he was funny... Too much ego, but it was fun.

"I'm (name), it's nice to meet you!"

You turned to the blond and smiled,

"It's nice to meet you too..."
"Ludwig, my name is Ludwig. Und ja, nice to meet you"

He held out his hand for you and you shook it.

"So... German?"
You asked the two,
"Ja-"
"NEIN!! Preußin! Nicht Deutch!"

You looked at Ludwig who face-palmed and shook his head at his brother, who was ranting in German probably about him being a Prussian and not German...

“Mein gott, Bruder….”

You kept watching Gilbert with curiosity in your eyes. He looked so funny while he talked to practically no one but himself and Gilbird.
A smile bloomed up on your face, then a soft giggle.
The dogs wagged their tails as they watched you, barking and making Ludwig’s attention turn to you.
Then you began to laugh and held your sides, tears forming in your eyes.

Gilbert stopped ranting, his hands were holding Gilbird in front of him, his eyes were slightly wide and he turned his head towards the sound of you laughing.

‘C-cute…’
Was the first thing that he could think of when he saw your face, lightly red from laughing, your lips formed, in his opinion, beautiful smile and the giggles you created made his face go pink.

You couldn’t contain your laughter any better and soon your legs gave in as you sat on the ground. The dogs quickly came to your side and happily barked and whined with you, Gilbird flew up out of Gilbert’s hands and to you. He flew around your head and chirped loudly.
You sighed and dried your (e/c) eyes, a wide grin still on your face. Your (h/c, h/l) was a little bit tousled, your face still red.

Gilbert was still frozen in place, his hands were down his sides, but he kept staring at you while you laughed and played a little with the animals.
Ludwig had a small smile on his face, which was rare (but you didn’t know that, you just met the guy!), as he watched you. He then looked at Gilbert and walked up to him, as he looked closer he saw him staring at you and his blush increased little by little.

Gilbert was being pulled out of his stare as he heard a low chuckled from his side. As he looked he saw his little brother smiling at him with a rare twinkle in his eyes, his baby blue eyes shifted from his to you and back, raising an eyebrow suggestively. Then he almost burst out laughing, Gilbert’s face got bright red! Almost as red as his own eyes!
He turned around, away from you and Ludwig, muttering a soft “Zhat’s so un-awesome of you…” as he did.

You were too occupied with the dogs and bird that you missed the whole scene. After a moment both the dogs and you calmed down and Gilbird had found his way in your hair, again. The dogs had placed their heads on your lap and wagged their tails happily as you petted all of them, but as soon as they heard Ludwig whistle they got up and walked over to him.
Ludwig clipped on their leashes and you stood up too, you walked up to Gilbert and replaced the bird on his soft white hair again.

“You’re a funny one, Gilbert”
You chuckled.
Gilbert had regained his composure quickly and smirked at you,
“Vhy ja of course! I am zhe most awesome person ever, so I must be funny!”
“Yeah, yeah! Sure, mister awesome!”
You laughed.

“Bruder, come on. Ve’ve got to go home…”
“Ja, ja… Ich weiß, ich weiß…”

They both turned to you and opened their mouths to say goodbye, but were interrupted by you,

“I’ll walk with you, it’s not like I have anything to do anyway!”
“Awesome!”
“Chirp!!”

You laughed at the two and walked towards the men and their pets.

And so beginning a new friendship with a muscular, blond neat-freak and a red-eyed ‘prank master’ who was a bit too full of himself.

--end flashback—

That happened a roughly one and a half year ago. You smiled softly at the memories. You had discovered that Ludwig was the youngest of the two and Gilbert’s slight phobia for skillets (which surprised you the most… I mean… what the flippin'…?). most of them were good memories and lightened your mood a little as you thought about them again.
But there was one turn down, you found out that you began to like the albino, but the way he acted around you made you feel like you were nothing more than a good friend... If you hadn't missed the whole scene when Gilbert wasn't his 'awesome' self when they met you, you would probably think otherwise...

Without noticing you had driven yourself to the brothers house and stopped right in front of it.

You dried your tears and told yourself to be strong, but as soon as the door opened you launched yourself towards the person and held him tightly as you cried into his chest.

--
When Gilbert heard someone knock at their front door, he yelled for his brother to open it, who didn’t respond. He puffed out his cheeks in annoyance, but stood up from the couch and lazily opened the door.
He immediately froze as you hugged him close, his face heated up and his heart jumped a little bit. He smiled awkwardly and rubbed the back of his head, not looking at you.

“E-ehh… (n-na---!”

He immediately stopped as he heard your sobs. His eyes widened again and he looked at you with sorrowful eyes, his mouth slightly open.
He softly placed a hand on your head and back, gently stroking your hair,

“Hey, hey... It’s alright… I’m here”

Gilbert softly whispered to you. He led you towards the couch and pulled you on his lap. You kept your strong grip on him and let him do as he pleased, your sobs died down and only sniffling was heard.
He held you close and murmured soothing words.

You kept your face nuzzled in his neck and closed your eyes, you were so tired. Soon you were sleeping peacefully in Gilbert’s arms, he didn’t mind much, in fact, he kind of loved it… you felt so warm. Things like this were very rare for him, he didn’t get much physical contact like this from others. Especially not from the one he cared for the most…

He smiled at your sleeping form in his arms and softly ran his hand through your hair as he nuzzled it with a loving look on his face.

“Was ist hier passiert?”
Gilbert’s head shot up and looked at Ludwig, who was standing in the doorway, looking curiously at the two.

“Ich habe keine ahnung… Vhen I opened zhe door zhe only zhing vhat she did was clinging to me und crying…”
“Is she asleep?”
“Ja…”

Ludwig walked up to him and patted your head, being careful because Gilbird had yet again found his favourite spot in your hair, and sighed,

“Let’s put her in zhe guestroom and vait for her to vake up, okay?”
“hmmhmm…”

Gilbert held you so that your legs were around his waist and his arms under your buttocks.  Your arms were limply hanging over his shoulders, your head still in his neck.
He carefully walked you up the stairs to the guestroom, where he softly laid you down.
You hummed as your head made contact with the pillow and snuggled further in the sheets.
Gilbert chuckled and sat next to you on the bed, brushing the tears that still lingered on your face away.  
He leaned in and kissed your forehead,

"Gute nacht, liebling"

After one last kiss on your cheek he left you and closed the door.
When he walked down the stairs he saw Ludwig with his arms full of bags.

"Vhat is zhat?"
"Her stuff... I looked outside and saw her car, it vas stuffed vith bags und I can take a good guess vhat happened..."

Gilbert helped him moving everything inside and looked in the bags.
Both of them looked at each other.

--
"Are you sure you vant to do zhat?"
"Ja! Zhe awesome me has to help another awesome person in need!"
"Alright--, vait... Other awesome person? I zhought you vere zhe only awesome person on zhe entire planet..."
"E-ehh..."

That made him blush... Oops...
Ludwig chuckled,
'So he does like her... Alright zhen, ve'll take her in'

"Alright bruder, ve'll take her in"
"Awesome! Ehh.. But never mention this again, versteht?!"
"... Ja..."
"Gut"

The only thing what they could do now is wait for you to wake up.
But Gilbert had an idea,

"Vhy don't we bring her stuff up to her room? Und unpack everything for her?"

He kind of thought out loud but also hoped that his brother would agree...

"Ja, seems like a gut plan..."
"Alright! Let's get started zhen!"

And so they began to carry everything upstairs and quietly into your new room.
The put all your clothes, yes also your underwear (what caused both of them to blush, but still did it), in the closet, some decorations were put on the nightstand, books and other stuff got on your desk. Blankets under the bed (they didn't have room for them anymore...). The rest, like food that you brought and cutlery and stuff, were carried back downstairs and put in the cupboards.

When they were finished it was already evening and both of them were rather  hungry.
So wurst and potatoes it was... How typical...

--
You woke up by the smell of pancakes and sniffled the air as you sat up.
You looked around and your eyes widened...
This wasn't your room! But... But almost everything  you owned was here!
As you stood up and listened closely you could hear some faint talking, low voices that had a familiar accent...
You gasped as you remembered yesterday... And blushed bright red...
Your hand covered your mouth as it tried to cover the blush a bit... Which was not helping at all... But whatever...

After some pep-talk you decided to grab some fresh clothes and put them on, looking in the mirror that hung in your bathroom (Yup~ you now own a bathroom just for yourself~ and you don't have to share one with the teasing white-haired... handsome... red-eyed... very attractive... Prussian ...Boy... Man ... ... L-let's get your mind back to the story, s-shall we...? ). You found yourself looking decent enough to go downstairs

--
Both brothers were in the kitchen, Ludwig reading the newspaper and Gilbert making the pancakes, Gilbird, as usual, was on his head. The dogs laid calmly on the tilled floor.
Suddenly they all perked up and barked happily, Gilbird also left his owner's head.

"What the-... Gilbird! Vhere are you going?"
"Ruhig bitte! Blackie! Aster! Berlitz!"

They both turned to the door, where the animals had turned their interest in...
A smile formed on both faces, as well as a small blush by one of them, as they saw you standing in the doorway with Gilbird on your head, happy to be nestled in your soft (h/l, h/c) hair again.

"Morgen (name)"
"Gute morgen! How did ya sleep?"

A small smile made its way to you lips, it felt nice to be around them again.

"I-it was nice"
"Awesome! Vould you like some pancakes?"
"Yes please!"

Your mood was being lifted and your heart swelled a bit at how nice these two were to you.
Realization made you stop eating and you looked down, feeling sorry that they had to deal with your 'problem'.

--
Ludwig saw you looking down and placed a hand on your shoulder.
You looked at him through you bangs that hang in front of your face.
Gilbert was gone for a minute and the two of you were alone.

"W-why are you guys doing this? I-I mean, I just... I didn't know where to go and just pulled up here.. You didn't have to move everything h-here... I would only be a burden to you!"

Ludwig sighed and for once was he the one to hug first, he knew you needed it,

"Come here... You vere kicked out, right? I know zhat your parents live too far to drive to in one day und other friends aren't a real option... Und besides, ve love your company, especially bruder. I know zhat you never could be as bad as Gilbert is, so I don't really mind it"

"T-thank you... Thank you so much"

As Ludwig drew you in a hug it was a big surprise, he never would actually do that... Well, maybe some hugs from Feli, but it was just that the Italian was a rather 'physical' person... Ludwig never really liked them so much. And it was a slightly awkward hug too, he really wasn’t used to hug someone…
But you hugged him back anyway, it was comfortable and it was true, you really needed one...

"Don't zhank me... It was his idea to take you in..."
"R-really?"
"Ja"

At the same time Gilbert got back and saw you two hugging. Oh and boy was he jealous... He almost growled at his brother, but he stopped himself before he could,

'Vhat the hell? V-vhy vould the awesome me be jealous of my own brother hugging... My best friend… Someone I... Really like... Und care about... Und vanting... For... Myself?'

Gilbert sighed he had been aware that he acted strange around you, but never really thought about it... Most of his actions were instinct and just withouth any thinking about it.
He thought further and more about it,

‘Mein gott… T-these feelings…’

He gripped his shirt and looked down, face burning. His heart was beating fast and skipping frequently, butterflies filling his stomach, giving him a fluffy feeling inside.

He looked back at his little brother and you, a smirk on his face and already regained his composure.
He walked up to the two of you, just when Ludwig told you that it was all Gilbert’s idea.

“Hey~ zhe awesome me vants a hug too~!”

He wrapped his arms around your waist and hugged you from behind, placing his head on your shoulder.
You blushed a little at the contact, but let Ludwig go and turned in Gilbert’s arms, hugging him back.

That was not what Gilbert expected at all, he froze a little and his face went red again. But he hugged you anyway.

“Thank you so much for letting me stay, Gilbert”
You softly said into his chest.
He smiled,

“No probl--?!”

You had angled your head up and pecked him on his cheek, not without a blush on your own cheeks of course.
Directly after you kissed him, you easily slipped out of his hug and walked away, a little bit surprised yourself that you actually have done that…

Gilbert was completely frozen, his eyes wide and face bright red. Slowly his hand set on his left cheek, where you kissed him. A goofy smile on his face and a dreamy look in his eyes,

“hehe………”

“Du lieben schlug Dummkopf…”

“… ...Not like I can help it…”
“Apparently not, no…”

--
The day went on just fine and you three discussed some of the basic 'rules' they had, mostly the rules Ludwig made otherwise Gilbert could do whatever he wanted... And you agreed on doing some stuff for them, after all, you were the one living in their house, it would only be fair.

A few weeks went by and living with the two was really amazing, there wasn't one day that you haven't smiled, even if it was just for something they argued about.
Your feelings for Gilbert increased and bugged you every day... You met his two other friends, Francis and Antonio, and the stories you've heard were... Yeah... I think you can kind of imagine what would happened if three drunk men, one from the country of love, one  from the country of passion and one from 'German' with sometimes a slightly perverted mind, were in a bar with lots of girls... Not that any them were happy with the results of those nights, but yeah... It just happens... Most of the time they couldn't even remember what had happened and sometimes the girls were gone before they woke up, so...

The guys were fun to be with and the pranks were awesome, as Gilbert would say.
Well... All but one... Gilbert decided to pull a prank on you and you weren't really happy with it. You planned for revenge. And you found a perfect way...

Once Gilbert was in the shower and washing his hair, he began to sing a little, as usual.
Unknown to him, you were waiting for the perfect time to do it...

His voice went from a soft mumbler to 'singing' loudly (you couldn't call it singing really... It was way off tone...).
You smirked just when Ludwig walked up to you and asked you what was wrong, you silent him and mentioned him to watch, or rather listen, closely.

Suddenly you banged really loudly on the bathroom door,

"Und Ich-- AAAHH!!!"

A loud girly shriek was heard from the other side and a bang, apparently he had fell down...

"Pffff... AAAHhahahahahahaa~!!"

You slit down the wall and laughed loudly, that shriek! That wasn't like Gilbert at all! And it was so funny.
You looked at Ludwig and laughed louder, he was trying to hold his laughter and looked like a ripe tomato who had a bit too much water, because tears were treating to spill down his blood red cheeks, bitting his lip also.

"Pfu-ahahahaha!!"

But right after he saw you looking he couldn't hold it any longer and let out a low roar of a laugh and bow down, holding his sides.

The door was roughly being opened and an angry and flustered Gilbert stepped out, looking at the two of you.
He was shocked to see Ludwig laughing too...

"Tha- haha, that was- that was soo funny- ahahaha! That's what you get for pulling a prank on me! Haha!"

You were still unaware of the fact that Gilbert was only in a towel around his waist... And you were filming it... But Gilbert was well aware and blushed a nice shade of red, turned around and slammed the door shut.
You and Ludwig were laughing a little bit longer before it died down and walking downstairs to watch what you recorded.

Well, Let’s just say that you almost had to hold your nose when the film came to an end. Ludwig was well aware of it and smirked.

--
It has been a year since you’ve moved in with the two and lots and lots of fun stuff happened, but nothing between you and Gilbert… It began to bug Ludwig a bit, it was so obvious that you two liked each other. Even Francis and Antonio knew it without asking!

You decided to stay with the two, even when you called your parents (you did that every month, to give them some up-date about your life so far) and they were OK with it.

It was summer and the three of you decided to go to the beach, as well as your mom and dad and both Gilbert’s friends. So it really was going to be fun, you only hoped that your parents haven’t planned too much… so you could actually do some things.

You packed your stuff and put on your newly bought bikini, over that your clothes, a simple slightly wide shirt and shorts, easy shoes and you were done.
The trip was long, but not boring. Gilbert had brought Gilbird with him of course and both of them entertained you enough to stay awake.

When you arrived you jumped out and ran towards the large house you were all going to stay in, walked around it to find the beautiful scenery of the beach and sea.

“Wow… It’s beautiful here…”

“(name)! Come back here und get your stuff!”
“And give your mom and dad a hug too, will you?!”

You quickly turned around to see your parents waving their arms at you. A smile bloomed up on your face and you ran back, hugging both your parents. Both guys introduced themselves to your parents, as well as the others.

A few hours and lots of talking and laughing later, everyone had chosen their room and were on the beach.
You were a little late as you still talked some with your parents about everything and how you were doing now. And you were doing great! The guys helped you a lot with things and it was really nice to be with them.
Your mom and dad looked at each other as you talked about Gilbert, the way you talked about him made clear that you felt something for him and they knew it. Normally they would tease you a bit about it, but thought that you were now old enough for those childish things and said nothing.

You were still in your clothes as you walked on the beach, towards the sea and others.

“Hey (name)! Come on in! The water’s great!”
“Ja! Come on und play!”

Antonio and Gilbert yelled, they were waist deep in the ocean and waving at you.

“Alright then! Just a moment!”

You walked up to some of the towels that lay on the warm sand and took off your shoes. As you stood back up you gripped the hem of your shirt and took that off too.
unbeknown to you that both the guys were watching your every move… And Gilbert was frozen in place as he saw you ‘strip’, his face burning up big time…

Antonio chuckled and mentioned for Francis to come and look. They were a bit aware of Gilbert acting different around you and now they knew for sure, he liked you. A lot. It was so obvious now. They were aware of this for a half year now… And perhaps they could warm things up between you two…

Gilbert quickly turned around, almost sure that if he would watch longer he would have some ‘sweet’ dreams later… Not that he didn’t have those already, but it was rather unpleasant to dream them, knowing that those things might never come true…

--
“LOOK OUT BELLOW!!”
“Huh? ---?!!”

SPLASH

Since the guys were near a pier you had easy aces to jump into the water. So you took advance of that and jumped in next to Gilbert, making a big wave and let it crash into him.

Gilbert looked around, searching for you.
He suddenly felt someone jump on his back,
“Gotcha!”

And as he heard a familiar laugh he knew it was you. As you let go of him you ‘walked’ over to Francis and Antonio.

“Chica, you look too good in that”
“Oui… Ohonhonhonhon~”

Francis had a lustful look in his eyes, Antonio had just a flirty look on his face. And that didn’t go unnoticed by Gilbert…

‘Zhey’re-- Zhey're FLIRTING vith MY girl! – Vait… vait vhat...? since vhen vas (name) mine? …GAH!! Zhis is going to be a loooonnnggg vacation…’

Gilbert’s hands balled in fist, so tight that his knuckles were white (not that it was really noticeable… but still…). He relaxed a bit and face-palmed, Sliding his hand down his face and looking back at the three.

His eyes widened, face palled, heart dropped. His face held a completely hurt and rejected  expression,

Y-you were 'flirting' back!

Well, in his eyes it was. In all honesty, you were just joking, you though the guys were too so why not tease back? You've never actually felt pretty, no one ever told you that you were, beside your parents then.

And this kind of hurt him like hell... He definitely had no chance with you...

--
Antonio took a glance at Gilbert, to see his reaction.
They weren't really prepared on you 'playing' back...

And immediately his smile disappeared, regretting what they've done.

Gilbert was turned towards the ocean and had a sad look on his face, chewing on his lower lip and if you looked closely you could see the tears in his eyes.

"Antonio, you okay?"

You asked him as you saw his face.
But he smiled at you and told you he was fine. Glancing at Francis, to see if he'd seen it too. And yes, he was also aware of what their actions had done to Gilbert.

You were still turned away from Gilbert and didn't know anything what was going on.
You just brushed it off and thought of something to do,

"Guys! Let's play chicken!"

“Si! Francis, I’m on top!”

“…Ohonhonhonhon~ Are you sure mon ami~?” (A/N: Gaah! Sorry guys… couldn’t help it X3)
“… …N-never mind… Just dive under and let me get on your shoulders…”

“Gil! Are you in? I’m sure we’ll beat them!”

You turned towards Gilbert and he stood there with his usual smirk on his face, which was fake but that you didn’t know.

“Sure! Let’s beat some un-awesome butts”

He dove under and grabbed your legs under water, coming up again and now with you sitting on his shoulders. You tucked your feet under his armpits and hooked them around his back.

“CHARGE!!”

You yelled before both Gilbert and Francis stepped forward so Antonio and you were able to reach each other.

--
The feeling of having you close made his heart both race and sore of all these mixed feelings. Due the water, that dripped from his hair on his face and made watery lines down to his jaw and chin, no one would see the tears that now freely flowed from his eyes. Not wanting that his facial expressions showed his confusion and grief, he hid it behind a wide smirk.

…Or so he thought and hoped.
But Francis knew him and his facial traits and looked right behind the mask and saw the pain in his eyes. So this was what their plan had done?
He was going to have a good talk with Antonio and Ludwig later, maybe Gilbert too.

--
After dinner Gilbert excused himself and went to his room.
Laid down on his bed and let all the emotions flow, crying loudly in his pillow and gripping the sheets with all his might. His heart ached, his stomach too, the butterflies that usually fluttered around had turned into nasty flies. His head pounded, his eyes were puffy and red.

It felt like he was dying.

How could someone as nice, beautiful, cute and adorable as you do something like this to him? Why was it him that had to fall (hard) in love with you and not someone else? Although… He wouldn’t have all these happy memories with you, you made his world worth living. You were everything to him, no one has been so nice to him as you were, no one could compare to you, not even Francis or Antonio or Ludwig!

--
Francis took Antonio and Ludwig with him,

“Alright, mes amis! We ‘ave to do something! Zhis is killing him…”
“Vhat have you guys done zhis time…?”

Antonio sighed as the reached Gilbert’s room, they stayed outside just to explain everything to Ludwig.

--
In the meanwhile you were confused as hell… What was wrong with the guys?! Gilbert wasn’t acting as his awesome self and Francis and Antonio looked like they had done something really, really bad…

--
Your parents were a bit worried too. They talked with Ludwig when everyone was on the beach and asked a lot about how it was with you living with them.
Ludwig told everything, and then I mean everything. From the beginning, when you three met, to the day you came crying at their door. Also about Gilbert.
He told them that he had never seen Gilbert acting like this, he did know that he had been with some girls before, but never in a real relationship. Also you were the only girl friend he had.

“I am really happy zhat he finally found someone he truly loves, but he’s not aware of that she loves him too… Zhey both don’t see it und it’s so obvious to others. I just vish zhat zhey admit it to each other und see zhem both happy”

“I love your accent btw,”

Your mom said,

“But back to the problem… (name) has never loved someone as much as him. She did have some crushes but never as big as this one. We can simply hear that she loves him very much and we’re happy that she does, she finally found someone”

“Yes… But don’t you think that Gilbert would be bad for her? I mean, after I hear what he and his friends do on their night out…”

“Sir, Gilbert vould normally talk a girl home three times, maybe four, a veek. Since he met her it decreased to ones a veek und ever since (name) lives with us, none. If he vanted her that badly, he vould have done it vith her zhe first day zhey met. He’s my older brother und I know him better zhan zhat. He vould have flirted vith her and stuff, but none of zhat… I honestly zhink zhey’d be perfect for each other”

“I agree too! Just give them a chance, sweetheart. It’s her first real love”
“Alright, we’ll see how it goes”    

Your dad wasn’t really convinced that Gilbert would be the one for you, but gave him a chance to prove himself. If one of you got the courage to admit their love for one another…

As the three talked about Gilbert, your dad walked up to them.

“Boys, I want you to make them confess tonight and record it”

“B-but sir! How are we supposed to do that?”

Antonio asked as he looked at your dad with confusion in his eyes. But your dad smiled and held up a small recording device,

“This would help with the recording part. It’s rather small but has good quality and a microphone build in it. As for the confessing part…”

He scratched the back of his head,

“I don’t know, but maybe you could convince him to tell (name) and get her in his room. That may do the trick”

“Alright monsieur, We’ll do our best”

All of them turned towards Gilbert’s door as they finally heard the sobs.

“Ve’ll have to make it vork…”

--
“Gilbert!”

He shot up and looked at the door, Ludwig, Francis and Antonio had stormed in.

“You’ve got to tell ‘er!”
“Si! This is killing you!”

As his friends were busy convincing him to tell it, Ludwig searched for a good spot to hide the camera.
He walked to gilbert with a stern look on his face, Gilbert looked at him with his tear-filled eyes that currently held no emotion at all. It scared Ludwig a bit but didn’t show it.

“So now you see my un-awesome side huh?”

Gilbert dryly said.
Ludwig said nothing, just looked at him. Gilbert looked away,

“Fine… I’ll tell her… But if… it’s not working, don’t expect me to cheer up”

--
You stood confused and nervous in front of Gilbert’s room, what the hell did they want you to do?

“meh~”

You shrugged and softly knocked on his door, your heart racing and butterflies filling your stomach. You were going to be in one room, alone with your crush.

‘M-maybe… I could tell him my feelings…’
You blushed, ‘No! no… that would ruin everything… our friendship…’

You were taken out of your thoughts as you heard a faint ‘come in’ and took a deep breath as you opened the door.

Worry filled your eyes as you saw him sitting unhappily on his bed, head in his hands and elbows on his knees.

You hesitantly stepped inside, closed the door and walked towards him. He didn’t look at you, not even said a thing. You sat down next to him and looked at him, fully worried about him.

“Gilbert… Are, are you alright?”

“… You’re a zhief, you know…”
“A-and why’s that?”

“Vhy… Vhy did you flirt back to Francis and Antonio?”
“I wasn’t flirting, Gilbert… Just teasing back… I mean, I’m not pretty…”
“No, you’re not pretty at all…”
“W-what?”

Where the hell was this conversation supposed to go to? What was he aiming for, to put you down even more?
Tears were treating to fall down your cheeks, but you held yourself strong.

“I… I heard the guys say something…”
“Vhat?”
“D-do you like me, Gilbert?”

“…No… I don’t”

Hot tears rolled down your cheeks as you chewed your lower lip. So he really didn’t like you huh? You knew it, he liked other, thinner, prettier girls then you.

--
“What is that idiota doing?!”
“He’s making zhings vorser zhan zhey already vere!”

Francis smiled, Antonio and Ludwig (along with your parents) looked at him as if he was crazy,

“Vhat are you smiling for?”

“Just look at ‘is face. ‘es planning something, and I zhink I know what”
He sighed dreamily,
“and it’s going to be cheesy… too cheesy for Gilbert at least, honhonhon~”

Everyone shrugged and moved their attention back to the TV screen.

--
You sat there, next to your crush of 2 years, telling you that he didn’t like you.
Tears dribbled down and you sobbed silently.

You didn’t see it but Gilbert was crying too, one single tear on his right cheek, the opposite side of where you sat.
Gilbert slowly sat up and shuffled his hand next to yours, placing his pinkie over yours.

“You’re a zhief ‘cause you’ve stolen something from me 2 and a half years ago. But don’t bother giving it back, because… you’ll always have my heart…”

He now gripped your hand tightly,

“U-und you’re not pretty at all… Gott, not even close to beautiful…”

He turned himself towards you and cupped your cheek, brushing the tears away with his thumb.

“You are absolutely gorgeous…”

He leaned forward, nose touching, foreheads against each other. His intense red eyes looked deeply into your (e/c) eyes. His held a lot of emotions as love, hope, sadness and even slight fear of you rejecting him.
He entwined his fingers with yours, squeezing them lightly.

Swallowing the lump in his throat as he closed his eyes, the tears that were in them now fell down his reddened cheeks,

“Und I-I definitely don’t like you,”
His voice broke as he cried further,
“I… I… I freaking love you…”

--
As you felt his pinkie over yours, you almost wanted to draw back but you couldn’t.
He just broke your heart and you couldn’t leave?

You listened to what he had to say, almost didn’t want to because you thought that he only was going to apologize for making you cry and just held your hand to let you show that he would still be there for you.

But what you didn’t expect was for him to explain all the things he said to you.

You froze, did he just… did he just tell you that you stole his heart 2 and a half years ago?!
Your heart skipped a beat, the same heart that he stole from you… some of the broken pieces glued together as a small piece of hope, hope that this wasn’t just a bad dream that was turning into a good one…

You gasped lightly as you felt a warm and gentle hand on your left cheek, almost pushing your cheek into the warmth. Your face gained a nice red colour as you watched him. A tingling feeling across your face where he still held his hand, his thumb brushing away the tears gently.
Again your heart skipped a beat and raced further in its place. He, he thought you were gorgeous… No one even had ever called you beautiful and he already called you gorgeous? More tears fell down, but these were more out of happiness.

Almost all of the broken pieces of your heart were back in place, almost.

He didn’t like you… H-he loves you?!!
Your face heated up and your eyes widened.

The corners of your lips shivered, then slowly curled into a small smile. Tears still on your cheeks and in your eyes, but as you watched Gilbert cry in front of you… It broke your heart, again…

Your hands flew up to his face and took it softly into your palms. He’d probably thought that you rejected him…

“Gil-Gilbert… Please don’t cry…”

You chuckled slightly and nuzzled his nose with yours,

“I… I can’t belief this… Finally after 2 years…”

You looked deeply into his eyes,

“I love you too…”

--
Gilbert froze on the spot. You loved him. You just said that you loved him back…

His eyes were again filled with tears and a genuine and truly happy smile bloomed up on his face.

He tackled you down on the bed and began to cover your face into soft kisses. He planted them everywhere, except one place.
Hearing you squeal and giggle at the contact made him smile and chuckle too.

He then inched closer to your lips and kissed the corner of them. Drew a little bit back so he  could see your face, then dip back and kissed the other corner.
His heart beats in his throat, he tried to swallow the dry lump in it too.

He hovered over you and looked nervously into your eyes, coming closer to your face again as he asked,

“M-may I…?”

Knowing what he was referring to you swallowed too. He knew this was going to be your first kiss… and you absolutely didn’t mind that he would take it.
A shy and nervous smile placed itself on your lips as you nod,

“S-sure…”

One last look in your eyes as he closed his and slowly came closer, you could feel his own nose bumping yours lightly before being angled, his sweet breath on your face. You closed your own eyes and waited.

There it was, the light unfamiliar pressure on your lips. It slowly began to increase and finally you felt his soft lips fully on your own, moving slowly, trying to take you into the movement.

Your arms found their way onto his shoulders and your hands were in his soft white locks. You gladly moved your lips sync with his.

Gilbert groaned softly at the feeling, this was absolutely the best kiss he ever had! Your lips were so soft and tasted so nice.
He wanted to deepen the kiss, but thought it might be going a bit too far for you. He didn’t want to ruin this for you so he slowly pulled back, trying to let this feeling linger as long as possible.

He looked at your red face and smiled, nuzzled you and plopped down next to you. He pulled you close and said things in German, you could translate some of the words, but you didn’t exactly know what he said. But you could tell by his voice that they were sweet things. He cradled you into his arms and you gladly snuggled in his chest.

“C-can you stay, tonight?”
“W-why?”

“…Not zhat I vant to do anything! I just… I… I just vant to hold you close… I vant to feel vhat it feels like sleeping next to the one you love…”
You giggled,
“Of course… I would love to stay like this…”

“Danke (name)… Zhank you… for everything…”

--
Hollers and cheers were heard from the small room where the others were watching you two.

“HA! I told you zhat ‘e would do something cheesy!”
“Si! And it is so adorable~!”
“I fully agree with you, Antonio!”

Your mom had tears in her eyes, she was also squealing as Gilbert confessed to you.

“It’s like watching a romantic movie!”

She squealed, your dad looked at her and laughed.
But he still was a bit suspicious about the whole scene…

“Finally…”
Ludwig had a happy smile on his face. He was relieved that you two finally were together, a bit surprised that Gilbert could act that way.

It was already late and everyone agreed to go to bed, your dad stayed behind. ‘I’m still not fully convinced that he wouldn’t do anything to my little girl…’ was his statement. Your mom shrugged and let him be.

She walked up to Gilbert’s room and opened the door quietly. Both you and Gilbert were sleeping, his head above yours and a genuine smile on his face.
Your mom sighed happily at the sight and took the sheets to cover you two.
This woke Gilbert and he looked up. As he saw your mom he blushed like crazy and looked at her with fear in his eyes… Was she going to accept it?

Your mom chuckled softly and brushed with a hand his white bangs away and kissed his forehead,

“Sweet dreams you two”

She softly murmured and made her way back to the door, hearing a soft ‘Danke’ as she closed it.

--
You woke up by something tickling your neck.
As you opened your eyes the only thing you saw was white…

“haha… Gilbert stop~ You know how ticklish I am”
“Hmm… Nein… Your giggles are vay too cute~”

You squealed some more as he kept his face nuzzled in your neck.
Eventually he stopped and looked at you, his hand made its way to your face and brushed some of you locks away, tucking it behind your ear.

“Gute morgen, Schönheit”
“Good morning too, handsome”

You giggled, you did knew some German as the two had tried to learn you some of their language. You nuzzled his nose with yours and kept staring in his dazzling red eyes, he chuckled some and slowly closed the gap between you two and shared yet again an amazing and sweet kiss. Which was followed by some soft little pecks too.

Gilbert rolled over and laid you down on his chest, he smiled lovingly at you and running his fingers through your hair,

“You have no idea how happy I am…”
“I could take a guess”

He chuckled and playfully rolled both of you around on the bed.

Thud

Oops…
Hehe, guess you two rolled off of it and landed on the floor.

Luckily you landed on Gilbert, so he didn’t have to worry about hurting you.
You stared at each other in shock before bursting out in laughter. You quickly stopped though… Why? Gilbert wasn’t laughing the laugh he usually laughed… He, he was laughing a rather ‘normal’ laugh. And damn, did that sound awesome.

“Vhat’s vrong…?”

“… Did you know that you sound so freaking awesome, laughing like that?”
“R-really? I-I mean… nobody would ever call me awesome beside me myself…”

“Gilbert”
“J-ja?”
“You’ve always been awesome to me”

Gilbert rolled you over so he was now hovering you and crashed his lips on yours.

“You’re pretty awesome yourself too”
“…Thank you…”

You blushed, Gilbert just called you awesome! He would never admit that anyone would be more awesome that him! That must have meant a lot to him…
You heard some rumbling and looked at Gilbert with a questioning look.

“Sorry… Guess I’m hungry… How about ve go get some breakfast?”
“Let’s do that”


--Extended Ending—
Gilbert was the first one to walk into the kitchen,

“And Gilbert, did elle enjoy your ‘awesome 5 meters’? Honhonhonhon--“

THUD

Francis face hurtfully hit the table as Gilbert hit the back of his head, hard.

“Vhat do you zhink I am?! A pervert?!”

Some French swears were heard as Francis rubbed his forehead and glared at Gilbert, who glared back. Antonio worriedly looked at the two, back and forth.

“Mis amigos! Please!”

Ludwig face-palmed as he stopped next to you. He sighed,

“I’m glad zhough”
“W-why?”

You asked surprised, you hadn’t seen him coming and was a bit startled by his sudden voice,

“You two finally admitted your feelings to each other… Took you long enough, Bruder”

…
……
………
“……EEHH?!!”
“H-HOW DID YOU KNOW ZHAT?!!”

--Extra Extended Ending—
“Alright Gilbert, you’ve proven yourself that you are good enough for my little girl…”

Your father said as he walked into the kitchen… He looked tired and he yawned

“I’m going to bed…”

Both you and Gilbert looked at him if he was crazy, looking at each other and you both decided to take a look in the room where he came from…

…
……
“……DAAAAAAAAAD!!!”

You yelled as you saw the screen,

THUD
