Germany x fem!America

_____________________________________________________________

Nobody ever really thought they would work out...

Amelia was always so hyper and loud while Ludwig was always so stern and reserved. They were complete opposites in every sense.

Amelia likes sweets, while Ludwig likes savory.
Amelia prefers places like the beach, while Ludwig prefers places like the library.
Amelia loves to party, Ludwig loves to work.

But, despite everything, the two had been in a happy relationship since the end of World War II. Amelia was in charge of West Germany while Ivan was in charge of East Germany, meaning the two would be separated. Amelia did end up making a few deals with Russia, allowing the two brothers to call anytime they wanted and for them to see each other four times a year under their supervision.

Germany began very infatuated with Amelia, often doing housework for her while she did all the nation work for both of them. Amelia also introduced Ludwig to the states, who he instantly loved. Normally, he wasn't very good with children. But the states were very accepting, despite what his nation had done. He took a liking, especially, to Hawaii. He was constantly apologizing to her and trying to mend fences, even though it was Japan who attacked her.

Amelia brought out the soft marshmallow in the hard-hearted Ludwig. But, like every couple, they did have their fights. None of them were ever physical, but some of the words that were said often left the other in tears. They often reconciled quickly, not wanting the other to hurt.

This fight...was not like that...

It was a beautiful summer day, with most of the kids at the beach or out hiking. It was only Amelia and Ludwig in the house. Amelia had just finished working and went to Germany's office, knocking before opening the door. She saw him diligently working on his laptop with a bunch of papers surrounding him.

"Hey, Luddy~"

"Ja, Amelia?" he replied, already slightly agitated from the piles of work.

"You should take a break, you've been working since breakfast. I can make us some lunch and we can do a picnic in the backyard," she walked over and gently hugged him.

"Nein, I have to get zis done. Jou go und make lunch, I vill join vhen I am done," Germany didn't even spare a glance at her as he signed another document. Amelia sighed and left the room, a little disappointed that Ludwig kept working. She went downstairs and sighed, preparing a good amount of cucumber sandwiches, some milk tea, and yummy lemon tarts. She then gathered all the items for the picnic and went back upstairs.

"Luddy, I finished lunch," she said behind the door. She didn't want to enter on account that Germany was working, but when she didn't receive an answer, she did. When she walked in, she saw Germany passed out at his desk. She sighed and picked him up with her superstrength, carrying him to their bedroom and tucking him in. She then went to his office to finish the work he was doing, which consisted of signing documents and submitting files. They both had permanent consent to do the other's work if one was not feeling well. When she was done, she cleaned his office and organized his files.

She walked back downstairs and put the picnic basket on the table, sighing as she realized how late it had gotten. She got up and went to the door, slipping on her sneakers and walking out. She walked around the block a few times to clear her head but ended up taking a wrong turn and ended up at the beach. She saw some of her kids playing, reading, or swimming.

"Mommy!" Hawaii yelled, running up to her. She hugged her smallest state closely, laughing.

"Hello, sweetheart. How's the beach?"

"Fun! Me and Becca built a sandcastle!" she looked over to see California putting the finishing touches on the adorable castle. She smiled at her children and set Hawaii down, "are you going to play with us?"

"I'm afraid not honey, I just walked here by accident. I should be getting home to Ludwig now, but you keep having fun ok? Here are a few twenties, you and your siblings can go get some ice cream before you come home. Until then, go give the money to Levi so you don't lose it," she handed Leilani five twenties and kissed her head. Once Hawaii ran off, she gave the money to Connecticut, who was reading under an umbrella. Amelia smiled and went to walk off, but was stopped when a few large men surrounded her.

"Well, well, well, you are the hottest thing on this beach next to the sun. What's your name dollface?" One of the guys put an arm around her shoulders. Amelia's brow irked and she clenched her fists.

"My name is I'm taken, so move along," she punched the guy in the gut and swiftly walked off. She sighed in relief when she made it to her street, entering the pin to the gate and walking up the driveway. She entered the house quietly, not knowing if Germany was still asleep. When she set her keys down on the side table, she heard a gruff cough by the kitchen doorway. She looked up and saw Ludwig there with an irritated look.

"Vhere vere jou?" Germany asked sternly. Amelia was annoyed at the question, so with the snarkiest tone she could muster, retorted.

"Why do you need to know?"

"Because jou vere gone for two hours! Jou didn't leave a note, jou didn't answer jour phone, und jou didn't even let me know vhere it vas jou vere going!"

"Ludwig, you fell asleep at your desk! I finished your work and went on a walk! I went to the beach to check on the kids and came back! What else did you need to know?!"

"Amelia, it vas reckless! Vhat if jou got a phonecall from jour boss?! Vhat if another nation needed to talk vith jou?!" Amelia listened as Germany spurted off more possibilities.

"STOP!!!" she finally snapped. Germany went quiet at the shout, "LUDWIG, DO YOU NOT REALIZE EVERY REASON YOU JUST LISTED TO ME WAS ABOUT WORK?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUT IN THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR THAT ONE OF THE KIDS CALLED ME!!! IT'S ALWAYS WORK WITH YOU!!! JUST ONCE I WANT A DAY WHERE YOU DON'T WORK OR TALK ABOUT WORK OR EVEN THINK ABOUT WORK!!!"

"I VANT TO PROVIDE FOR JOU!!! IS ZAT A CRIME!!!"

"WHEN IT DISTRACTS YOU FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, YES!!!"

"AMELIA, MEIN ONLY TRUE FAMILY IS UN EUROPE!!! NOBODY HERE IS MEIN REAL FAMILY!!! AS FOR FRIENDS, I DON'T HAVE MANY OF ZOSE!!! AMELIA, JOU NEED TO REALIZE ZE REAL WORLD DOES NOT TOLERATE SUCH CHILDNESS!!! JOU MUST GROW UP!!! ZE VAY JOU ACT IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! MAYBE IF JOU ACTUALLY TRIED TO PROVE JOU VERE SMART, OTHER NATIONS VOULD NOT ZINK SO LOWLY OF JOU!!!" Germany closed his mouth instantly after realizing the words that left his mouth. Amelia clenched her fists and her lips trembled, "Amelia, I-"

"Save it, I need to cool off," she picked up her keys again and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. She walked back to the beach to see her kids had left, meaning they were probably either on their way home or at the ice cream shop. Amelia opted to go to a bar, needing a drink after the loud fight.

Meanwhile, Germany was on the couch. His leg was bouncing crazily as he clutched his chin with both his hands. He was staring at the fireplace when he heard the door open, making him jump up and look at the door. His heart dropped when he saw it was only the children. All of them came back from their daily activities, going upstairs to shower.

"Vhere is jour mother?" Ludwig asked Connecticut and Hawaii.

"Mom gave us money to get ice cream, then left. We thought she came back here," Levi answered. Leilani began to worry.

"Do you think she's in trouble, papa?" Hawaii looked up at Ludwig, making the German freeze. These children called him their father and Amelia called him her lover, this was his family.

The family he needed to protect.

"Here's is mein card, order vhat ever jou all vant for dinner! I vill be back!" Germany grabbed his wallet and keys, getting into his car and driving off. 

With Amelia, she had already downed five beer and a few shots. That's when a few scummy, familiar men walked in. They noticed Amelia at the bar, slightly buzzed. They all smirked to each other and walked over to her.

"Hey sweetheart, where's your man?" one asked softly. The slightly tipsy Amelia spilled everything, talking about her problems and drinking a lot more. 

Germany looked at his phone, tracking Amelia's phone and getting its location. When he pulled up to the beachside bar, he got out in a hurry and stormed inside. Upon entering, he saw a few men huddled around Amelia, smirking at her. His brow irked when he saw how they all talked to her, they were clearly only after one thing. The thing that snapped Germany in half was when one of them wrapped his hand around her side, clutching her shirt and rubbing down her shorts. Germany stormed over to them and tapped the one guy's shoulder. 

As soon as he looked back, Germany punched him in the face. He cracked his knuckles again and looked at the other men. Amelia looked up to see Germany with an angry face, his fist slightly bruised from punching the one man.

"Luddy?"

"Vho vould like to be punched next? If no von vould, zen I suggest jou valk avay from mein lover," all the men ran out of the bar in a heartbeat. He picked up Amelia, bridal style, and slapped a hundred on the bar, "zat's to pay for zose assholes und her, plus tip," Germany then swiftly walked out of the bar. When he put Amelia in the car, he buckled her in and gave her a small bucket. He then held back her hair as she puked in the bucket, rubbing her back. Once it was all out, he gave her some water and bread, continuing to rub her back. He also turned the AC on high, letting the cold air blow in her face.

When Amelia was finished with everything, she looked to Ludwig and began to tear up.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm really troublesome. You didn't need to do this,"

"Ja, I did. Othervise zose disgusting perverts vould have taken advantage of jou," he rubbed her head and began to drive home. Things were silent until Germany gulped, "Amelia, jou mean ze vorld to me,"

"I know, I guess it was just a rough day today," Amelia replied as she held Ludwig's hand. He smiled softly and held it tightly back.

"Vhy don't I call un sick tomorrow, zis vay ve could have ze entire day to ourselves," Ludwig looked at Amelia with so much love, it scared her a bit.

"Are you sure, Luddy? I mean, what if something happens tomorrow? What if they need you?"

"Zen zey can figure it out for zemselves. Amelia, if I didn't find jou, jou might be getting raped right now. Zis vas un vake up call zat life is not all about vork. Tomorrow, I vill make jou breakfast un bed, zen ve can shower together like be used too, ve could go un a small hike und have a small picnic by ze lake. Zen vhen ve get home, ve could vatch a movie und cuddle. After zat, ve make a big family dinner, togezer. Zen ve could finish ze day vith some massages und maybe some tension release," Germany winked and Amelia giggled. 

When the two got home, they ate some Chinese takeout that the kids ordered and showered together for the first time in months. As they went to bed that night, a shirtless Ludwig snuggled with a tired Amelia.

"Ich liebe dich, Amelia, mein Schatz,"

"I love you too, Luddy, my sweet beloved," Amelia yawned and dozed off.

Germany smiled as he lovingly gazed at the smaller nation, kissing her head before falling asleep as well.
