Lieber Diq,
Well, you could totally live that, Diq. It's not that hard, and really, why not, y'know? I mean yeah, sometimes you buckle down t'responsibility and all that, but otherwise, what's the point in followin' social standards that change with every generation? Live the way you want, especially for us military guys who've had t'take orders for hundreds of years! Not that I minded some of the time, Ol' Fritz was a good guy and damn did he know how to give an order everyone would follow Exactly! might get that ex-cat of yours to stop fucking around all the damn time when his country's already been bailed out and Scheiße .......... Someone wanting a little Preuße action or are you just fondly reminiscing about us now? Verdammt straight they were!
I meant at Hamish's, there's now way Lud-- Was? You mean he was there and didn't stop them? ...Nein, that's not mein Bruderchen. He would've kept them from hurting his Süßer. At least he was smart enough to actually help him after... Ja, they'd better. I know that Feli was torn between Ludz and Romano for ages and ages, but he thought he loved Romano more, which was the cause of all this. And these feelings for Feli were brewing in Ludz for ages even though he didn't know it. ...Though I don't know which I could expect t'make the first move. I mean, they both made the first moves in their disastrous relationships, they probably don't want a repeat. Maybe Ludz, since he's had more time to get over this than Süßer. Locked in a closet? ...that could work.
Gut. I'd be pissed if you were, y'know. ....S-Shut up! It is an AWESOME image because it is mein awesome self wielding mein awesome boot!
Ja, next few days free. Then I'm down to Munich for a while.
Herzliche Grüße, Awesome Gilbert

Saupreiß,
in that case you were thinking wrong as well. The invitation was genuine before I learnt what was going on with you and Hamish behind my back.
Right back at you. … Do I look like I care about how you two got started? Whatever it was that was bothering him, he came to you, not to me. Congratulations, I don't care. By now I know better than to torture myself by trying to impose my friendship on someone who doesn't want it. He wants you and he wants me out of his life, so I won't stand in his way. But I swear to Gott that if you don't treat him right, I'll break every single verdammten bone in your verdammten body.
… Do as you please. Talk to him then! Herrschaftszeiten! Of course I talk to Feliciano. What do you idiot think I've been doing the last days?! And he's my cousin. If anything I stole him back,... but neither did I steal him nor is it my fault that he finally realized who's more 'awesome'.

Gil,
I'd have to think about doing that, its hard to do that when I need to keep the peace in my area...trust me, if I didn't play peacekeeper this part of the world might have been blown off the map already. Makes me wish I could just take 'em over again and stop all this stupid fighting , but no, have to do it the peaceful way and not "oppress," shit, what do they all think is going on in their own countries. ....anyway... enough about that. Just fondly reminiscing currently, you always knew how to have fun.
Sheesh, I didn't explain it right.. Ok, Feliciano was trying to bake and he tried to catch a Canoli...or however the hell that's spelled, and he got his hands burned with the oil. Then Feliciano fell asleep on me and I jumped awake and he started falling off the couch so I tried to catch him but I accidentally dislocated his shoulder. There was nothing Ludwig could do in either of those situations besides get it back into place and bandage him. How he ended bruised up I don't remember. then there was Arthur's potions, but lets not go into that So in reality, there was nothing he really could have done besides help with the aftermath of it. It might honestly come down to who can't live with hiding what they are feeling anymore, though Feliciano is good at hididng almost everything and Ludwig can be short sighted sometimes when feelings come into play. I like locking them in a closet.
Evet, awesome image that shall keep me entertained.
That works, I'll fly in the day after tomorrow, then the day after that I'll fly back out on my way to visit Arthur. Does that work with your plans?

Liebe Astrid,
He'd better, you've been around long enough t'teach him a little something-something, ja? Gut, one of 'Merika's kids needs t'learn a little history beyond that bubble they all live in.
It's lame because you aren't doing things that are bad. Or at least bad enough to get you trapped somewhere where you gotta pick your way out! And I was after you told me you were going to be breaking into Francis's wine cellars-- ...Kesesesesesese~ Someone's a little defensive, ja? I never said that you couldn't, just that I didn't teach ya to pick locks to do that! Is someone having some ideas and getting embarrassed~? And I'm pretty sure you're only hearing about half the things we did t'gether and only the borin' stuff too~~ Kesesesesese~
Why not? Your hair was brown before, it's not much of a verdammt difference. Plus now it'll be this awesome blue-black color that's all interestin' and Scheiße~ Unless you wanna leave it blue now that your Gummibärchen thinks it's cute? Kesesesese~
What's the difference? Wine is wine.
Y'know how politicians are. Wantin' all the power and none of the work and all that. I swear, half the verdammt work they make us do is to keep us outta trouble by worryin' ourselves sick and Scheiße. Oho~ Is that a proposition I hear bein' offered, Fraulein? What about your little sweetheart? He not worth it compared to the Awesome? Kesesesesesesesese~
Herzliche Grüße, Awesome Gilbert

Liebes Bruderchen,
...M'talking about the one between you and Feliciano, the one we've been talkin' about? Geez, Ludz, I think Süßer's obliviousness is rubbin' off on you or somethin'. Wish you'd have more that that rubbin' off on you if you know what I mean, but baby steps and all that Scheiße Wait, you mean he's not huggin' you anymore? Really? Warum zum Teufel wouldn't he? Why not? What'd he say? ...Guess you're right on that, I suppose... Ja ja, I get it, they're all good workers, I get it. And even if they're ridiculous they usually got...decent(?) intentions when they butt into each others' business. It's beyond dispute but that doesn't mean I can't still be pissed about it. He picked up all their work in a fuckin' heartbeat, they should've taken it back and covered his way before now. Ja ja, definitely more dysfunctional than Feli tries t'make them sound. ...Can't disagree there, though. Definitely understandable. Especially considerin' he thought stayin' under the Prissy Pants next door was a 'caring family' and he tried three times t'get away from him by the end of it. ...Ja? First time was callin' t'say that he couldn't come up for a meetin' back in February. I only took that one because you were still asleep, but the rest of them have been about schedulin' meetings since you put me in charge of that. And there were a few askin' for help about paperwork he was supposed t'sign for some bills his boss had been tryin' to get passed. I didn't understand half of what he was talkin' about but it's like y'said. Süßer didn't want t'bother you. Well, that's the reason I can think of. And if you weren't interested in knowin', he probably felt like it didn't really need t'be shared. ...Well, maybe he just...blew up his feelings of love for him. I mean, they were separated for centuries and centuries, and they fought a hell of a lot in that time, so maybe his longing for a caring family that you were talkin' about got blown out of proportion and he thought he loved Romano less as a brother he wanted to be united with as a country and more like, well, a lover? I just wonder if that was the case, that's all.
Y'never know if he won't answer or not, West. Not until y'ask him, anyway. He might feel like he wants t'let you know, but you're probably never gonna get an answer unless you ask for one. It does to! I'm saying there's no way he could lie to you, even if he doesn't want t'tell you. Either he'd tell ya the truth or he'd ask for you t'wait until he was ready t'answer. Again, Ludz, it's only been a few months. Insecurities after Scheiße like that can be pretty hard t'shove off. So long as you remember that Süßer cares about you and wouldn't lie t'you, I'm sure you'll be fine. How is it not, Ludz? You're the first person he turned to after Scheiße hit the fan with him and Romano. He drove to Berlin when you were the one workin' too hard and took care of you for a few days, accordin' to Joseph, even when you two weren't talking much after WWII not only did he forgive you in a fuckn' heartbeat he sent you a present for Weihnachten every year, and he still does. Accordin' to Toni your invite to his Geburtstag is the first one he sends, he turns to you for advice more often than not, and c'mon. Don't you remember the first times I introduced you too? He was at your beck and call for months, and still is. There's so many damn signs there's not enough room in this letter to write them all down!! He adores you, cares a hell of a lot about you, puts you above pretty much everyone else. ...I wanna tell you no, Ludz. I wanna tell you no so fucking bad but gott verdammt you'd still write to him even if I told you you can't or that you shouldn't. I don't think he deserves t'hear from you, certainly doesn't deserve yer forgiveness so verdammt fast but if you think you're strong enough t'write to him then I can't stop you. Ja, your Italian enigma. You're the one who keeps sayin' that you don't understand him, but you're tryin' to figure him out. Isn't that what an enigma is? Of course I'm not happy with the fact that you'd dismiss it as something that 'couldn't work', Dummerchen. Then there's the fact that it 'crossed your mind for a split second' that you were sayin'. If it came and went that fast then there's no way you could make an informed decision on the matter. ...Who cares if you're best friends, West? Love doesn't care who it ties you to, or when. And speakin' on your logic, how can you be sure that what he felt for Romano and what you felt for Japan was the illusion and what you're sharin' for each other is the real deal, hm? You don't know until you give it a try-- Bruder. Really. C'mon. Even if you tried this and it didn't work, do you really see yourself hurting him enough t'really be considered hurt? Nein. You care too much about him to hurt him, even if it doesn't work out. Just like how he wouldn't want to hurt you either. But you have to see the signs, Ludz. Even if it's only been some short length of time, you still can't deny what you feel for him, and even if you're oblivious to it for some stupid reason he's still showin' the same signs that he feels the same way. Oh c'mon, do I sound like I'm bein' proud right now? ...Ugh, no, never mind. I am not explaining this to you. It's an unawesome conversation, and you're just gonna be all 'it's my duty' and inadvertently prove my point and then deny proving my point and we're just gonna go in circles until my brain dies from all the unawesome.
Well, it makes sense, ja? It's the same thing as you goin' out to buy a new suit and choosin' one over the other. It's not necessarily fashion, just what you think looks good and all that. Ja, it's gettin' more complicated but you've got Feli t'explain things to you for when we're supposed to look all 'cleaned up, presentable, and fashionable' and all that for meetings, gatherings, summits, all that Scheiße. He's like, part of the Fashion World's nucleus. Gut. It'll keep him from getting too twitchy during meetings and stuff. Oi! He's the one who started it this time! I wasn't doing anything, he even invited me down to his place, an invitation I accepted, but now he's all up in my fucking face about apparently stealing his best friend and ruining his life and I didn't even fucking do anything! ...S-Shut up, how should I know there's a difference when I get yelled at all the time about it? And it's not like they're even that big a deal, Ludz, y'don't have t'yell at me about it all the verdammt time... With your efficiency all that would've taken what, twenty, maybe thirty minutes with maybe ten minutes allowance for the taxi being late. That's still pretty fucking fast, Ludz, you have t'admit. ...It'll be three months in about a week and a half if my math's right. Time goes by pretty fast when you're spendin' time with people you care about, Ludz. ...I kinda wanna tell you somethin' about that, but I don't really think I'm gonna.
Alles Liebe, Gilbert

Lieber Joseph,
Glad t'see that something besides stubbornness runs in the verdammt family then. Another thing we have in common.
'Course I think you should fucking care. Then you'd know that there isn't anything there! Yeah, he talked t'me, but it started with him offerin' t'pay me to pull a prank on France. I've received four letters from him, that's not fucking enough for you to flip out! He didn't 'come to me' because he needed someone t'talk to, it's not like he told me much of fucking anything! He came to me because he was pissed and he wanted someone outside of the situation, completely out of it which rules out best friends, to take care of a revenge scheme! Oh don't act like he fucking wants me, Joseph, that's Scheiße and you know it. I haven't gotten a response from him in over a month, if he really cared and all that Scheiße like you're brainwashin' yourself into thinking then he would've answered by now. So really you're just getting your panties in a fucking twist because you're a childish brat. Screw you! It's not like I hate the guy but it's not like we're friends or anything-- Jesus Christ on a fucking stick, you make it sound like we're fucking each other behind your back or something! There's nothing there get that through your thick skull! We're just acquaintances! I'm not gonna hurt him but hell if I even have a verdammt reason to in the fucking first place!
Gut! If I can do what I want then the first thing I am doing is breaking that damn folk CD of yours! I have been talking to him! I'm not a verdammt miracle-worker, this is gonna take a while t'get through his head! Oh, I don't know, sat on your ass and angsted like a fucking teenager?! You're certainly throwing a temper tantrum to match! ...Who cares if he's your cousin? That doesn't mean he was yours first.
Alles Liebe, Gilbert

Sadiq,
Depends on the timing, I guess. Work be all selfless and shit, but when it's personal and Scheiße that you need t'do for yourself then there you go. Just do what you what with who you want and where you want. That should help. ...I believe ya. Your neighbors are fuckin' crazy. Ja, that'd probably help but I don't think it'd go over too well. Bah, the 'diplomatic' route isn't any more verdammt peaceful than the 'oppressive' shit. Kesesesese, that I do, that I do. But I'm the source of all this world's Awesome, so of course I know how to have fun~
...I guess for those two situations I understand, but how the hell else do you think he'd get all bruised up and Scheiße? Süßer's clumsy but not that clumsy. But I guess what's done is done. Just gotta make sure that he keeps a better eye on Süßer then. Feliciano's more fragile than he likes t'think he is. Ja, though hopefully someone decides t'crack. I don't know what point Süßer's at in terms of this but Ludz is still scared that this could end up hurtin' them both. ...I like that idea to. I kinda think we should.
...
M'kay. I'll be there t'get you and then I'll show you all the best places t'drink and get your money's worth! Kesesesese~
Herzliche Grüße, Gilbert

Lieber Gilbert
Don't worry yourself over that, I'll teach him something. He'll learn some European history, I'll be giving him enough to make his head ring.
....Define bad........ Well, if asked I didn't tell you....but I did break into France's and leave him a few surprises. Hopefully he'll enjoy them and stop stressing so much. If you want one of his special wines I'll get it for you. Gott im Himmel! I am not getting ideas, I don't even know him that well! I hate you for putting that idea there, its not going to happen, I'm not you or Frances Who wouldn't be embarrassed thinking you were suggesting something like that If that was the boring stuff, I don't want to know the so called interesting stuff. I'll dye it black as soon as I get a chance, but it will probably have to be after we are done hanging out, have some last minute things I need to do for work. Gummibärchen? My gummi bear?
Poor wine tastes like horse piss, good wine is exquisite.
Ja, I just got a load of papers dumped on my desk, I might need to work though dinner and into the night to get this done before Daniel comes tomorrows....verdammt, you and your suggestions, not like that...I hate you sometimes you know that. Nein!! It's not a suggestion you arsch....I'm gonna tie you up an leave you as a gift on Joseph's doorstep!

Lieber Bruder,
that letter has already been written and sent before our talk, but… ja, I know what situation you meant, even if I am not sure if your confidence would help me with it. Feliciano has completely stopped hugging me some weeks ago, out of consideration of how nervous it made me. Of course he doesn’t know the real reason why I feel uncomfortable with his nearness. He has been very distanced actually, but… when he handed me his last letter, he hugged me again before he ran off. So… Glad as I am that you acknowledge our siblings’ work, I probably won’t ever get you to speak more positively of them, will I…? Of course you can. Believe me when I say that it is quite an understatement to say that I am disappointed with them. Knowing Feliciano he will probably let them get away with it, even if I wish he wouldn’t let them abuse him like that. On the one hand it is Feliciano’s kindness and his forgiving nature that I admire, but on the other hand I can’t help being angry with his family. Again I can’t comment on that, since I don’t know about the time when Feliciano lived with Roderich. … I understand. Oh je… Sorry… I am not sure if I had been able to help Feliciano with anything at that time, but… still I would have tried if I had known. He always could have come to me, no need to go easy on me. After all it was Feliciano and the fact that he accepted my assistance that helped me get out of my depression. … I trust Feliciano to be old and smart enough to tell the difference between brotherly and romantic love. When he says he loved Romano, I don’t have a reason to doubt his words. Furthermore… considering how much he still cries after all those weeks, it can’t have been anything less.
Well… As you suggested I asked Feliciano, but as expected I don’t know more than before. He only said that he has been thinking and worrying a lot lately. Even if he doesn’t want to talk about it yet, I hope that I could convince Feliciano that whenever he is ready to, I will always be there for him. But isn’t it weird, Bruder? Even though I know how unreasonable it is to feel insecure, to mistrust or even to be afraid of opening up to anyone again, still I can’t help it. J-ja, I remember that he doe- … I … I guess he did,… didn’t he…? … That is… Actually I have never looked at it that way, but now that you list all of it… I never knew that my invitation is always the first one he sends. J-ja, I remember the first time I met him, even if it is only vaguely considering how young I have been at that time. But I know that I liked him from the start, it was like… he felt like family, even if I knew that he wasn’t. It was odd… As soon as he hugged me, that bad feeling that I had forgotten something very important, suddenly disappeared. … All right, you won… He obviously cares a lot about me, but… still… couldn’t you choose another word than “adore”…? Danke for understanding, Gilbert. No, this isn’t about forgiveness. I am not as goodhearted as Feliciano, and I can’t forgive Japan yet. But some day I will forgive him and I want to… at least get along again with him on a collegial basis, so… I want him to be well. W-well… I don’t know, calling a person an enigma… That is true though, there are many things about Feliciano that I don’t understand and that keep occupying my mind. Dummerchen?! … Fact is that we can’t be sure, Gilbert. Feliciano and I have both suffered a heartbreak lately and were helping each other get over it. We can’t be sure if this feeling is just… our mind playing tricks on us while we are looking for a happiness in this… friendship that we couldn’t find in the love we felt before,… and when finally we realise what we have done, it is too late to go back to… Bruder, it is exactly like I said before, I can’t help feeling insecure and mistrusting even my own feelings. I can’t just ‘give it a try’,… what if it doesn’t work out? What if I make Feliciano cry again…? … Nein, you are right, Feliciano would never hurt me like Japan did. … What I feel for him…? I care about him, a lot. I want him to be well,… safe,… happy… H-he makes me feel accepted and… light… somehow around him I feel like I am exactly where I belong,… like coming to rest after a long time. A-and… as I wrote a while ago, when he smiles the world seems to be in order. … B-but Bruder, what signs? Feliciano has been very distant lately. No way that he feels nearly the same. … Ach, Gilbert… Some things will never change, will they…?
That is what I meant. As a stronghold of fashion I trust Feliciano’s judgement on that matter, and he hasn’t complained yet when I asked him about clothes thank Gott. Oh je… I understand, I guess… not really, but… well. Feliciano talked to Joseph and apparently got him to admit that he had been fighting with Scotland who wanted to end their friendship, and that he thought everybody was leaving him or so… Well, I can’t really make sense out of this,.. can you? Gilbert, your tone… Himmel, do you think I like yelling at you all the time? I would prefer keeping it quiet too, living together in harmony… without beer fountains in the living-room or finding Roderich’s last birthday present in the toilet. Sometimes I really wonder who is the older one out of us two… N-nein, it was nothing more than average speed… Three months already?! W-well… that seems to be true, since I have no idea where all that time went. I wonder for how long we will be allowed to stay in the mansion, I should ask Joseph when he comes to visit tomorrow. … What…?
Liebe Grüße, Ludwig

Preiss,
shut it! I refuse to have anything in common with you!
You’re wasting your breath, zefix! … Damnit, why can’t you and Hamish just be glad that I’m staying out of this now? Why are you running after me with all this ‘Lieber Joseph’ bullshit, and why does Hamish insist on erasing my memories…? Why isn’t it enough for you when I get out of your sight? What do you want from me, huh? What?! Make me understand that he contacted you to pull a prank on France? Jesus, Gilbert… How naïve are you? At least I know now where Ludwig got that from… I have no clue what has gotten into him, but for some mysterious reason Hamish likes you. Ja, that’s Scheiße, but he still does! … And I guess it’s my fault that he doesn’t dare to write to you anymore… Listen, I can’t stand you and I couldn’t care less if you rot lonely and sadly, but I do care a lot about Hamish. I want him to be happy more than I want you to be unhappy. If that’s what he wants, I won’t stand in his way even if I am convinced that this will lead to a disaster. So when he comes down to Munich in the next days to end things with me for good, I expect you to be fair with him, or else I’ll feed your remains to your fucking chicken!
… Suit yourself. The CDs are in the second drawer on the left under the hi-fi system. You can take your time with it, I’m meeting Anastazie and won’t be home until late this evening. Good,… would be good if this ‘luck’ in love didn’t run in the family. For Feliciano’s sake I hope that he figures it out soon. … Shut your trap, will you?! I can angst as much as I want, this is my home, and if you don’t like it you can go back to your verdammten Berlin! … I’ve only been playing with him centuries before you were even born, but mei.

Gilbert,
I'll take that into thought. Hopefully they'll start calming down soon...though I doubt they will. Might not be more peaceful but its a lot more accepted in todays world....unless you have a reason for invading and for their own good just ain't gonna cut it. Evet, whenever I want advice on a fun time I know who to call.
Well, him and Hamish were having some problems, so it could have been from him, but really, I have no clue, I was sound asleep when all that went on. I'm sure he will, especially now that they're trying to help each other over their heartbreaks. Besides, Ludwig seems to be able to read Feliciano better than most of us put together, even if he doesn't think so. I hope that when they do crack, both of them are in the right mind set, or that they do confess in such a way to get them in the right mindset. Lock them in the closet and not let them out for twenty four hours or something, make them stay with each other and they will eventually talk about it.
Alright, I'll be leaving in the next half a day, so I'll see you then....and I always get my money's worth and more when we're together.

So starting this fucking morning I am taking over as your fucking life coach or whatever the fuck you call what I'm going to do. I am going to work you back into fucking shape!
Be fucking prepared.

Liebes Bruderchen,
Explain to me why the fuck you tried calling me at five in the fucking morning only to babble some Scheiße about Feliciano and something about "tesoro"s and sharing beds with the dogs or something. Because I swear if you were just sleep-calling me or something I'm going to rig the Bierfountain back in the living room and it won't be able to dismantle this time.
Alles Liebe, Gilbert
