-” The chancellor want me to go to that conference about new technology in Japan and I...I...The conference lasts until the 26th of December...So...”
Prussia's smile dropped completely. He looked down and sighed loudly. “ Okay, West, I get it. You won't be there for Christmas.”
-” I'm afraid it won't be possible, I'm sorry East” He placed a hand on his arm and squeezed a little. “ I would have loved to spend Christmas here with you, but it's an order...You understand..I can't.”
Prussia pouted. He was more disappointed than angry though. It wasn't as if Germany could disobey a direct order after all. “ I understand, it's okay...I'll spend Christmas with France and Spain then, if their Italian lovers allow me around...”
Germany wanted to comfort Gilbert but he didn't know what to say, so he pulled his brother in his arms, all stiff and awkward. “ I'm really sorry”
Prussia tensed a moment, he hadn't been hugged by his brother for ages and last time Germany certainly had been much smaller than him. West was a few centimetres bigger than he himself was now, and Prussia's nose found itself in level where Germany's neck, right below his ear. Gilbert sighed, closed his eyes and, just for a short moment, allowed himself to breath in his brother's smell.
West smelled like warmth and ginger bread and home and Gilbert had to resist the urge to nuzzles him and bask into his scent even though he loved it. He willed the blush away from his cheeks and pulled out of the hug. “ Don't worry, West, I'll be fine. You gotta do what you have to.”
Ludwig remained silent a moment, but Gilbert could see that he had something to say, so he waited patiently.
-” Would you like to go out tonight?” Germany eventually asked.
-” Sure” Prussia shrugged. A simple Saturday outing wouldn't make it for a lonely Christmas, but it was still better than nothing. “ The usual place?”
Germany had a little mysterious smile. “ No, for tonight, I've thought of something different.”
Worse than a stubborn German ( part 16/?)
-”What?” Gilbert's smile faltered a little.

Prussia lifted a brow in curiosity.
