Prussia and Japan are two princes of shakily allied countries, betrothed to each other as a sign of friendship and trust. Neither of them are especially happy about this. Japan sees Prussia as a thick-headed warmonger, and Prussia sees Japan as a weak, too-analytical pushover.
This comes to a head as they decide to have a "friendly" sparring match. However, Japan is surprised to find that Prussia really is smart, especially when it comes to on-the-spot strategizing, and Prussia is equally surprised to find that not only is Japan strong, but he's actually rather ruthless in battle. These revelations end up massively improving their relationship, leading to a tentative friendship or even acceptance of their marriage.
Bonus: Helping each other clean up afterwards leads to sex.
