-Don't own hetalia, Disney, or The Little Mermaid-

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU GILBERT" Ludwig screamed at me as I was trying to lose him. He was definitely gaining on me, but I was staying strong. Maybe I went too far....or west is overreacting. Both was equally possible. See Ludwig's anger scale works like a baseball game. The game is the day and how much you annoy him is a strike. You only get 3...That is so unawesome! This game of chase the awesome albino has been going on a little longer than expected. I'm breathing hard, and it hurts a little bit now! Don't twist that! I'm so awesomely in shape! I can't believe he got this worked up! Why,you might ask...I'll tell you why!

_-negative-timeskip *to*this*morning-_

The sun was shining in my eyes...GO THE HECK AWAY! I mentally screamed as I turned on my other side. Much better,I'm not ready to get mup. "Hm" I sighed, cuddling next to a warmth next to me. Wait....no,no,no,no,no,no,no! I peeked out my left eye....Dang it!

I opened my eyes to meet sunny blonde hair. I kept cussing in my head as I slowly lifted my arm up around him. He was whimpering quietly, then a little sparkle hit my eye. Wait a sparkle? I sat up, careful not to disturb him. I could clearly see his face now, there sat red puffy cheeks and clear drops running down his face. He looked so.....this is going to make me sound like a bad person but....kind of cute. LIKE IN THE IN THE SAD WAY! I feel so bad....I really hate guilt.

So what I did next was kind of awkward. I scooted next to him and moved his body so he was sitting up next to me. It may or may not look like we were cuddling. Now I can really feel a blush making its way across my features. I looked down at him,faintly smiling. Maybe frowning,I don't know! I can't see my own face. I wonder what he was dreaming about. His breaths started to fall into calming sync...

Wahh...? I opened my eyes...hold up, opened them? Must have fell asleep, huh, don't remember that. The muffled sounds of sobbing hit my ears. Then I remembered this morning, oh right little kid who doesn't remember who he is. That must be scary on some level. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

When I looked at the younger, he was huddled in a small ball against me. He must have not noticed me sitting up. I awkwardly, correction awesomely, put my arms around him to give him some comfort. I haven't done something like this since Ludwig was a kid. Strange to think about,huh? Anyway Alfred's body stiffened, as he stopped his sobbing for a moment. Then when he looked up to see it was me,he crawled into my embrace. I held him there, patting his back as he calmed himself down enough to speak.

After a good five, six minutes of holding him he stopped. He looked up from his place on my lap or chest, his face red and slightly tear stained. "Hey, you better kid?" I asked. He replied with a slow and shaking nod. "Gut, did you have a bad dream?" I was met with another nod. "Could you tell me vhat it vas about?" I asked.

"Y-yes....there were these people in red and white jackets. One looked kinda like me, but older with purplish eyes. The other had big eyebrows and green eyes. "They sound familiar, could he be talking about..."T-they both were yelling at m-me...a-and I don't know why. It made me u-upset and I slammed my hands down o-on the table,and it broke. They were so m-mad at me.....I-I just felt s-so hurt, and confused....I felt like crying but I didn't....A-are you mad at me l-like the dream people too,G-gil? I-I mean I just p-popped in...."

"N-no! Of course not!" That question took me by surprise. "Vhy vould you zhink such a zhing?"

"I-it's just, I woke you, t-then you took me in. I w-worried you, and you h-helped me...."

"No, it vasn't like I could leave you out zhere" I really couldn't. The look in those blue eyes would have haunted me."It vas my choice to bring you in here!"I exclaimed as I hugged him tighter."Your just making yourself sadder. I'm not mad at you...how bout ve go downstairs?". After a minute he slowly nodded his head in agreement.

As I walked downstairs, I kept him in my arms. It was easy to tell he was happy that I decided to give him a free trip. After I set him downing the couch, I went to go wash his...dress. At least that is what I thought it was. Anyway, I put whatever you wanna call it in the washer.

Then I went back to the couch to continue comforting, or where ever I left off at with Al. I dusted off the imaginary dust on my hands. Don't judge me,it's a totally normal thing people do...actually, forget it. I couldn't care less at this point. "Feel better now?"I asked looking him over. His cheeks were red,puffy, and tear stained. Those sky blue eyes were still slightly teary. Man he looked so sad and he ist so süß ... Was denke ich!? No! Don't you dare think like that you awesome hunk of pure awesomeness, I thought shaking my head. He responed by nodding his head quickly. I sat, flopped, down on the couch, and sat the boy in my lap.

Al turned around to look my me in the eye. I tilted my head slightly and asked" Do you mind telling me vhat happened in your dream?". I wanted to make sure if it was what I was thinking about. He stopped moving, he just froze and paled slightly, but he told me. Al had described everything to me with extreme details. Especially for a kid that young, and memory loss. I admit waking up from two people yelling at you angrily, not even knowing why, wouldn't exactly be the happiest thing to wake up to.

....I herd the shower start, oh right, Ludwig must be awake....great. Wunderbar. Freaking fantastic! I mean I know I had to tell him eventually, but I was hoping he would be....drunk. He is a lot easier to talk to when he is drunk, it's just how West works. Anyways, once I herd the water I turned on the tv so Luddy couldn't hear us when he comes downstairs. I would tell Al to be quieter, but he was being quieter than I would normally think.

After the dream talk and stuff around those lines, we just sort of talked. To be honest, I am now seeing Alfred in a whole new light. He could be a great listener, for some odd reason I found my self.....well opening up to him. If that kid ever tells another soul what I said, things are going to get so ugly up in here!

Ludwig's coming, cause I could hear his boots on the stairs. Ah~ I know that heavenly sent! Wurst! Oh my gosh, West, can you read my mind! Get me some beer, get me a beer, West go get me a special beer!....Nope, that didn't work...dang. West, you get my hopes up, then you just stomp on them with one of your black shiny boots...Maybe if you go get me one of those 'special' magazines I'll forgive you, kesesese. No wait Al's here, I don't want to ruin his innocence in this state....

"Gilbert breakfast is ready" West said. I gave him a 'one more mintute' look. Then I turned to Al real fast and continued telling what Luddy was like. He seemed nervous to meet him. I stopped my sentence and put my pointer finger to my lips. Ludwig's footsteps are getting closer..."Your food is going to get cold, brother" I could the real unvoiced question in his voice. He was would be coming on to see Al soon.

I quickly got up,awesomely avoiding the coffee table that I totally didn't almost smash my head on. I stood in front of him, hopefully blocking his view of the couch. Al was moving on the couch, cause I barely hear the slight creams of the springs. 'Thump' I could feel myself flinch. Come on kid, whatever you do don't come out around that corner! I pleaded with him mentally. Which, on my part, would be kind of stupid, but,hey,it could totally work.

Anyway, my brother just raised an eyebrow at me silently questioning what that was. I replied by giving him a, not so innocent, smirk. "Brother, what are you hiding?" He asked me. Oh dang, gosh dang it, darn it!

"Do you want the truth or thaw answer that mask sense?" I asked slyly.

"What's the difference?" He responded. The entire freaking line of sane and insane. Duh...

"The truth sounds crazy,while the lie makes sense" I response coolly...maybe.

"...truth"Ludwig said.

"You sure?" Luddy nodded impatiently at me to continue. How to show him,how to show him...oh "Okay...Alfred vould you like to meet my little bruder?"I asked in English, so America could understand me. Out from behind the couch and to my legs came Al. He was gripping onto my leg rather tightly.

I looked back up to Ludwig, he looked....well, I don't know. He had kinda of this 'I don't believe this' with 'Wow, for once my, awesome, brother was right...' and probably a couple other looks.

"You expect me to believe that?" He asked looking me dead in the eyes.

"You wanted the truth. Why don't you just call his boss,and go from there" I said raising a eyebrow at him.

"Fine..." he sighed. "Lets go eat breakfast" He said the last part in English so that Alfred could understand him.

'Blah blah blah blah blah' was basically the entire breakfast. We only talked about ways to tell the others about Alfred. It was something,I agree, that needed to be discussed but it doesn't make it any less boring. West has this talent to make any conversation serious and boring...to me that's the worst talent you could have ever gotten. Finally we decided to just tell the members of the G-8 at, oh guess where? At the G-8 meeting, big shocker there! We did this so the amount of people who found out would be limited. Germany and I are just going to have to keep this on the down low,or just between us, for a while.

When that was finally decided everything was just....quiet. I didn't like it in the slightest because it had this awkward feel to it. I looked over to Alfred but he was just quietly eating. He had this kind of scared or maybe nervous feel to him. He looked up at Ludwig then at me. Once he seen that I was looking back at him he put head back down. Oh~, I thought deviously, I know what's going on. Lil' Al over there is still afraid of West!

I leaned over Alfred and whispers in his ear"Hey kid, here it's not only polite buts it's also friendly to kiss someone on zhe cheek."I had to restrain myself from laughing right now."Maybe if you go kiss his cheek he'll go varm up to you quicker. Zhen you can ask him to be your friend, und I'm one hundred percent positive he'll say yes". I am so close to laughing, though I even to have biting my bottom lip to suppress myself from laughing. Then I moved back to normal sitting position.

Soon after Alfred got up and waddled over to where my brother was. My brother was trying to ignore the small boy as he tried to get his attention. Eventually, after like 10 failed tries, he finally gave up the 'What are you talking about' thing and finally picked him up. Aw~ look at little Luddy blushing! Okay so it was barely a dusting, but,hey, it was something. Okay, now kid just do do what I told you....do it! Come on kid do it before I die of my own awesomeness! Once West sat Al down, Al turned around and pecked his cheek. Ludwig's face, oh my gosh! You should have seen it! I should have taken a photo of it! His face was the color of one of France's roses!

"Would you be my friend?" Alfred asked innocently. I don't think he even noticed Ludwig's face!

"J-ja, I vould like zhat..."he said quietly . For the rest of breakfast I was laughing! I was laughing so hard right now,I mean my sides hurt! His face oh my gosh!

-:-:-Present for a moment-:-:-

Well I guess that was not only strike one,but one and two. Because West was glaring at me the rest of lunch....Also he may have been mouthing a couple of cuss words. In retrospect at that point I only had one more strike... luckily for me most of the day was uneventful

-_back*to*the*past_-

Me and Al, wait no 'sorry', The kid and I. The inner Ludwig in me, scary huh? We just watched Disney movies all day. We sang every song together! Somehow he remembered every word to each song. Well Disney is his afterall, so I guess it's no surprise then.

I got under 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' stuck in my head for the rest off the day. The sad thing is that 'The Little Mermaid' was the first movie we watched. I have to admit, Alfred definitely has a knack for these songs and movies...too bad it was enraging how easily they got stuck in your head.

Earlier ago I went and got myself a beer. After a long day of what ever this is I think I needed more than I wanted it. Awhile ago West called America's president. That led to a couple of other leads to other countries but none had any idea where he was. I believe he said that Arthur's place was the last one. Arthur was being a huge...pain and didn't tell us much of anything so it went cold. About two hours after that Ludwig agreed it was Alfred. I may have rubbed in his face a awesome,old fashioned 'I told you so'. Point is, the beer sounded great.

'Slam'! I sat up from the couch. It came from the kitchen, I turned to look at the kitchen enterense. In the open area leading into the kitchen stood a very, and I can't emphasize this enough, annoyed, tried, and angry. I started to shake and slide back down the couch. "Gibert...." he growled,so I swallowed.

"Ja....?"I asked.

"Did you take zhe last beer...?" He hissed slowly.

Oh my gosh...."M-Maybe...." I forgot to make sure.

"Run....."

-_The Wonderful Present_-

That was probably strike trillion. Which didn't add up in my favor. Yeah, so, that's basically my day. Fairly boring, until right now that is. 'Bang'! That...is unfair! "You brought a gun?! Zhat's messed up!"

"Ja, I did!"

That was about the rising action. Stupid Ludwig you have to go all, sorry I got off track. Well, anyways, our game of cat and mouse was, apparently about to finish. I ended slipping on wet grass,stupid rain! Then Ludwig shot me...and everything went black

"I vin" jerk was smirking at me! Dang you!

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-

"I vin" I smirked at my older brother. He'll be healed by tomorrow morning, I shrugged. 'Crack'! Well I better get inside before I get totally drenched. Tomorrow morning will differently be fun, though I might have went a little overboard. No, this happens every time. I dismissed the thought with a' he should really learn by now' thought.

I walked back to our house slowly, but had some of the adrenalin still running though me. Then realization hit me like a ton of bricks...we left Alfred. We left him alone,and in a unfamiliar house! That was so stupid, it was hard believe that we,or better described I, could do that!

I ran back to the house,luckily the place wasn't on fire so that was a wonderful plus. "Alfred?" I asked looking around. Oh please don't tell me we lost him!

"Y-yes?" I heard faintly. He sounded if he was scared. Why would h- 'Boom!'. Then that was followed by a faint squeak. He's scared of the thunderstorm. I walked to where I thought he called from.

My little hunch was right on the money. There,in the corner, sat a small body completely underneath a blanket. I sighed as I picked up the blanket surrounding him. Then I was met with a fairly cute sight. Alfred was hugging a white and grey bunny tightly, but also he was he was looking at me with teary eyes.

"C-can I sleep with you, Mr. Ludwig?". I sighed, for I couldn't say no to that. To honest this was going to be fairly awkward for me. Oh why must the world hate me today...?

"Ja, you can sleep in my bed if you vish. " he smiled happily at me.  I smiled back, so I guess it might be worth it. I wonder though, is this how Arthur felt? Did he feel glee, like he was on a cloud flying? Likly, because that's sort of how I feel right now. Strange how everything plays out on its own.

I picked him, and the bunny, up into my arms and carried him. On the way upstairs he started to sink down, but it was probably out of fear. Once there, I opened the door to my bedroom.

The walls were a nice, relaxing cream color. The blankets were a ruby red with a faded, or light,yellow pillows. There were a couple exceptions to this though, for there were smaller, kind of plush,pillows on it too. One held the German flag,another kept the Prussian flag proudly, and the last one was surprisingly the Austrian flag. There were pictures around the walls but I'm not getting into that.

"Vell, velcome to my room" I said gingerly placing him on my floor. He took off trying to climb my bed, that was close to twice his height. I laughed quietly as I took off my boots. Then I picked up him up again and placed him on my bed. He went to the opposite side and climbed under the blankets. I climbed in on the side I was closest side. "Gute Nacht" I said.

"Goodnight" he replied. We both fell asleep a sort time later and that was she wrote foe today.

~~~~~~~=^J^= I finished! Hope you liked it, it took me so long and it came to a total of over 3000 words! Yay! So sorry for the horribly long wait! Vote or comment! Ich liebe dich!
