"Mutter! Vater! Tell us a story!" Your son, (Random Male Name #1) said as you tucked him into bed.

Your husband, Gilbert, tucked your other son, (RMN#2), into bed as he asked, "Vhat story do jou want us to read jou?"

"Ve don't vant jou to read us a story, jou've already read all of zhe stories ve have! Ve vant jou to tell us a story!" (RMN#2) replied.

"What kind of story do you want us to tell you?" You asked.

Your sons became quiet in thought, then (RMN#1) said, "Can jou tell us how jou and Vater met?"

You and Gilbert looked at each other, smiling.

"Ja!" Gilbert exclaimed.

He began telling the story from his perspective, while you quietly played the memory in your mind.

Flashback to the first time you and Gilbert met:

"You want to say that to me again, (Bully #1's Name)?" You said, staring into the eyes of the leader of the group who had been tormenting you for years.

You were in the part of the school where only after school clubs took place, so nobody could hear the chaos that had ensued.

What had led to this point?..

~~~>.<~~~

(B#1), (B#2), and (B#3) had been bullying you since the last couple of years of primary school. It started off with insults, just calling you "fat", a "loser", and many other things.

During the next couple of years, it escalated to threatening you.

But after those two years, it became physical. Punching, shoving, kicking, slapping-- and a lot of other things.

And you had managed to hold all of the pain they had caused you over the years, until they said something that was minor (something they called you a lot).

You didn't know what came over you, it was weird since they had walked by and insulted you as they usually did...and they said the usual insults, but the one (B#1) said somehow made you snap.

"You're stupid!"

And this phrase, as small as it was and as many times as it was thrown at you in the past, made you see red. Maybe it was because your teachers were being extra sour to you that past week, maybe it was because your parents always got onto you about your grades no matter how hard you worked, or maybe this was just the last straw after years of their torment. Whatever, either way, you snapped.

They didn't know that you had been going to the gym most days of each week for a year and a half, so they weren't prepared for how much damage you could do to them.

You grabbed (B#3) by her wrist as she walked past you with a smirk, and twisted her arm behind her back before kicking her between her shoulder blades. There was a sickening crack as she screamed in pain. She fell to her knees, her unbroken arm grasping the broken one in agony. You grabbed her long hair from behind, then bashed her head into the school's tile floor.

(B#2), seeing her friend get hurt, came running at you with her hand reeled back. Just as she was about to punch you, you kicked her in the abdomen. She fell to the ground onto her side, which you used to your advantage. You kicked her repeatedly in her stomach as she cried.

You were still furious, no matter how many times you kicked her. You would have continued, but then (B#1)'s face appeared in your head.

She was the one who had started this, she was always starting this stuff.

At least you saved the best for last!

You stopped, then slowly turned to (B#1) as she trembled in fear. She never knew you would be capable of being so brutal. As far as she knew, you never fought back because you weren't able to. She obviously learned the hard way.

She backed away until her back was against the lockers.

You walked towards her, having nothing but rage inside of you.

She had a look of absolute terror, tears streaming down her face. She shook her head as a plea for you to not come closer, but she knew it was futile.

She wanted to run away, but she was frozen in place.

You grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, raised your fist, then said, "You want to say that again to me, (B#1)?"

Her lips started to quiver, but she didn't say anything.

"Well?!" You shouted, making her flinch.

She still didn't say a thing, she just trembled like an old person with Parkinson's Disease.

You were about to punch her, but then an idea came to your head: threaten her so that she doesn't play victim to the teachers and principal and get you in trouble.

"If you tell anyone that I beat you and your cronies up, you better tell them why! If you try to lie your way out of trouble, you will be in far more trouble with me, got it?" You said, she just cried even more.

"I said, got it?" You asked, making a motion as if you were going to punch her.

She flinched again, before nodding her head.

You dropped her to the ground, then started walking away. But as you walked away, you said back to (B#1), "Make sure your minions listen to what I told you, (B#1)!"

You felt your whole body shaking, and your jaw was clenched.

The rage still hadn't subsided. Most of you wanted to go back and beat (B#1) more, since she got off easier than her friends. But the other part of you knew that if you hadn't held yourself back, you would have ended up in prison.

You knew that if you went to class, you would have a hard time keeping it together.

You walked out of one of the exits that the staff didn't monitor, and started walking to your house. Both of your parents always worked outside of the house until the evening, so you didn't have to worry about them asking why you weren't in school.

Your (your hair length), (your hair color) hair was brushed by the wind as you walked, and your (your eye color) eyes looked around at your surroundings.

You became paranoid that (B#1) and the other two would come back with reinforcements, so you quickened your pace.

About halfway on your trek you came across three guys on a sidewalk, who all looked to be your age.

One of them was pale and had blonde hair in a pony tail, a slight beard, and blue eyes. The second was tan, had brown hair, and green eyes. And the third one was an albino.

You just ignored them, walking past them without a second thought. They were obviously ditching school like you were.

You were just about to round the block from the three guys when you suddenly heard footsteps behind you.

Fear got a hold of you, since you were sure your bullies had finally come back for revenge.

You quickened your footsteps, but the other pair of footsteps kept up with you.

You began running, trying to come up with a next plan of action as your mind tried to gather itself.

Your heart was pounding, and your hands were shaking violently.

You were next to a road, and, in desperation, you decided to run across it to get away from whoever was chasing you.

But what you didn't take into account was the fact that there was a huge car driving on that road just a couple of yards away from you.

Your whole body froze as you stared at the car, time seemed to slow down.

Your eyes widened as your brain screamed at you to move out of the way.

"No, no, no, no, NO! I don't want to die, I've come too far for THIS!" You tried to move but were frozen in place.

You begged the universe to not let you go, to give you a chance to live a nice, happy life. You wanted nothing more than to move on from all of the pain and live your life to the fullest. But you body must have been too exhausted from beating up those scumbags earlier, because you could not, for the life of you, move out of the way.

Just as the car was merely a few feet from you, you felt someone grab your arm and yank you off the road.

Time seemed to go back to normal, but your mind was still trying to collect itself.

Your gaze traced itself up to the arm that was holding yours until you saw the face of the albino guy.

"Vhat vere jou doing?!" The albino asked you, seeming just as shakened as you were.

You looked away, stuttering, "U-Uh, u-u-um..."

"Vhat?!" He asked.

You looked back at him, embarrassed since you probably looked like an idiot who couldn't move out of the way of an oncoming vehicle.

"I froze." You said, looking away.

He looked bewildered at first, then laughed, saying, "Vell, at least zhe awesome me vas able to safe jou!" 

The blonde haired guy and brown haired guy ran up to the two of you.

"Gilbert, what's going on?" The blonde asked.

"What was up with that car honking? What happened?" The brown haired guy chimed in.

"Nozhing, just saved zhis pretty voman from death!" The albino, whom you now know is Gilbert said.

"What?!" The brown-haired and blonde guys said in unison.

"She fell into zhe road and vas about to get hit when I saved her." He said, still holding your arm.

You were embarrassed by the situation, but ultimately glad that Gilbert saved you, even if he was being cocky and annoying about it.

"Whew! That's a nice save, amigo!" The brown-haired guy said.

"Oui, I'm so happy you saved this beautiful lady!" The French guy said before seemingly pulling a rose out of thin air.

You blushed, staring at the floor as you fiddled with your fingers.

Just as the French guy was about to hand the rose to you, Gilbert grabbed it from him.

"Vow, Francis, zhanks for giving zhe awesome me a flower!"

You couldn't help but giggle at this, and Gilbert looked at you with a cute smile.

Francis gave him a "What the Hell?" Look, then looked like he realized something. He smirked, saying, "Aw, Gilbert, are you already in love with her?"

"Vhat are jou saying?!" Gilbert shouted, and this time, he was blushing.

You giggled, and Gilbert looked at you.

"V-Vhat's so funny?!" He questioned, making you giggle even more.

"Sí, I think you are in love with her!" Antonio told Gilbert in a teasing way, "You were so eager to go flirt with her that you chased her!"

You looked at Gilbert, watching his blushing face get even more red.

"Nein, I vas not!"

"Oh? If you're not interested in her, then that means I can ask her out!" Francis said, looking at you.

"No, jou vill not!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm going to ask her out!" Gilbert blurted out. After a few moments of silence from all four of you, he realized what he had said, and tried to cover his blushing cheeks.

You were stunned. You never thought anyone would ask you out, especially someone as handsome as Gilbert.

"W-What?.." You questioned meekly.

Gilbert sighed, then turned to you.

"V-Vill jou go out with me?"

You couldn't help but smile, why would you reject such a cute guy? It seems that things were finally looking up for you.

"S-Sure!" You stuttered shyly, blushing.

Gilbert smiled, saying, "Jou're so cute, Frau!"

Your face became even more red; you weren't used to getting complimented. Most people in your life only criticized you, or ignored you.

You managed to say, "Thanks."

"Jou're velcome!"

After that, you and Gilbert arranged your first date, and things went from there!

End of flashback~

"And zhat is how I, your awesome Vater, saved your awesome Mutter and got to go out on our first date vith her!" Gilbert ended his story, sounding victorious.

He was meant with silence, and the both of you noticed that your sons had fallen asleep.

You and Gilbert smiled, giving each of your sons a kiss on the forehead before heading back to your room.

You and him cuddled up together in bed, peacefully falling asleep.

You woke up early the next morning, looking to the side to see Gilbert's content smile as he hugged you close to him.

Since you had woken up a lot earlier than usual, you started replaying memories of you and Gilbert in your head.

Flashback of you and Gilbert after a few months of dating:

"Vow! Jou're so beautiful, (Y/N)!" Gilbert practically shouted, eyeing you up and down.

You were dressed in a cute, (favorite color) colored dress, and Gilbert was wearing a tuxedo. The reason you and Gilbert were dressed like this was because you and Gilbert were going to the school dance. This was your and Gilbert's last year of school before college, and you were so excited to be graduating with Gilbert soon. You realized on your first date with Gilbert that, while he is arrogant and a bit of a troublemaker and you were a smart, intelligent, more serious person, you complimented each other perfectly. And over the past months that you were dating, you both had gotten closer and closer. You had both fallen deeply in love with each other. You were worried that he would run into the group of girls that bullied you and have his view of you change, but you were still cautiously hopeful that he wouldn't leave you regardless.

"T-Thank y-you, babe!" You said with a smile, then the two of you shared a kiss.

"Jou're velcome!" He said, smiling an especially cute smile. He suddenly picked you up bridal-style, exclaiming, "Now, let's zhe awesome Prussian take the awesome jou to the dance!"

You blushed as he carried you to his car, setting you down on the passenger seat before going to the driver's seat.

Once the both of you had your seat belts buckled, Gilbert started the car and sped off. He was definitely excited about taking you to the dance. But you were still scared about what would happen between the two of you after this school year.

You and Gilbert arrived at the school shortly, and Gilbert excitedly helped you out of his car.

"Let's go!" Gilbert shouted, making students passing by look over at you. One of those people was (B#1), who gave you a dirty, hateful look.

(B#1) hadn't tried anything since you beat her minions up, but you got the vibe that she was jealous of your relationship with Gilbert. Again, she hadn't tried anything since then, so you were sure she wouldn't do a thing towards you. You would soon realize that you were wrong.

You and Gilbert walked into the school, and started dancing. The two of you were beautifully in sync. Lots people who passed by the two of you complimented you. You were so happy; you never wanted this to end.

But suddenly, someone absentmindedly bumped into you, spilling their drink onto the front of your dress. They immediately began profusely apologizing, and you replied to every one of their apologies with a reassuring "It's fine, I know you didn't mean to!"

Gilbert loved the fact that you're so forgiving, and not quick to anger. He loved so many things about you, and every second he spent with you was amazing. He enjoyed being able to see your beautiful face, hearing your amazing voice, and your contagious laughter. Every day, he became more and more in love with you. He couldn't bear to imagine his life without you--it was a life he didn't ever want to live. That's why, that night, he would do something he had planned for a while.

You told Gilbert that you were going to try to clean your dress in the restroom, and he told you he would wait for you. You smiled, then shared a kiss with him.

Just as you were about to enter the restroom, you heard (B#1) say, "Wow, looks like your dress is ruined! Maybe you should go home and not embarrass yourself!"

You turned around to see her with her arms crossed, and a smirk stretched across her face.

You glared at her, saying, "It's no big deal. I was just about to wash it off. Now leave me alone."

Right as you started opening the door, she said, "Let me tell you something before you do that!"

"Sorry, not interested!" You shot back.

"He's going to grow tired of you, and you know it!" She said, making you pause.

"Huh?" Was all you could muster.

She walked over to you, the sound of her tacky high heels' clicking echoing in the hall.

You clenched your fists, but tried to control yourself since you didn't want to get into a fight on what's supposed to be an enjoyable experience for you and Gilbert.

"Shut it, or else." You threatened.

But what you didn't know was that (B#1 had been training secretly to regain power over you. Her ego was very damaged after your last encounter, and she wanted to regain it. Even though, in reality, she looked stupid and pathetic.

"Or what? You're going to beat me up? Steal my lunch money?" She mocked.

"I'm warning you, leave me alone, or else." You warned her, but she didn't listen.

She snorted, then said, "Why? I've been training for months for this!"

She tried to punch you, but you dodged with the speed of a cheetah.

"Wh-What the-?!" She said in surprise.

Unbeknownst to (B#1), you had started running daily with Gilbert as well as taking defense classes alongside him and his brother, Ludwig, so you were more than ready for this.

You kicked her legs out from under her, causing her to fall onto her back. She looked up at you with fear in her eyes.

"Don't you ever mess with me, or anyone else ever again! Do you understand?!" You yelled, but she only trembled.

You made a motion like you were going to stomp on her face, and she whimpered, "I understand!"

You suddenly heard snickering, and looked over to see Gilbert.

"G-Gilbert?!" You shouted in surprise.

"Vow, I knew jou had it in you! Jou're awesome, just like me!" Gilbert said, embracing you while (B#1) scurried away to never be seen or heard from again.

"W-Wait, you're not shocked or turned off from this?" You asked, hugging him back.

"Nein, vhy vould I be? I love vomen who can defend zhemselves! And I've always known jou vere a badass vith how vell jou do in self-defense classes!" Gilbert said before you both shared a kiss.

He suddenly pulled away from the kiss, and got down on one knee. You were confused by this.

"(Y/N), I know ve've only been dating for a few months, but I already know zhat I want to spend the rest of my life vith jou! Jou're the most awesome voman just like how I'm zhe most awesome man, so ve're perfect for each other! So.." He paused to pull out a small box, making your eyes widen, then he continued, "(Y/N), vill jou marry me?"

You started crying tears of joy, and you launched yourself into his arms as you said, "Yes!"

Gilbert smiled, taking the ring out of the box and slipping it onto your finger.

With that, you and Gilbert walked, hand in hand, out of the school. You both went to his house to continue to dance, since nobody could disturb you there.

You and Gilbert went to college after the school year ended, then got married after you both graduated from college. And later on, you started a family.

End of flashback.

You stared at Gilbert's content, smiling face as he slept peacefully. You couldn't help but give him a gentle kiss.

You were extremely glad that he had saved you from getting hit by that car. If he hadn't been able to save you in time, you would have missed out on an amazing life with him.

And you were also very happy to be married to this great-- well, awesome man, and to have started an awesome family with him.

Lastly, you were forever grateful to get to spend the rest of your life with Gilbert, and watch your sons grow up.

You nuzzled Gilbert's chest, sighing happily.

"I love you." You said quietly.

In his sleep, he replied, "Ich liebe Dich, auch..."

After that, you once again peacefully fell asleep in his arms with a huge smile on your face.
