AnonymousVe, I gave up wine. It’s going to be hard, but I’ll be a better person because of it~!

Hmm…Ve, that’s a really good question! I think a lot of things that Ludi does are sexy. I like watching him undress, especially, but that’s not the sexiest to me. Vee…probably the sexiest thing that I’ve seen Lud do is, um…
Well, one morning after I’d had one of the little attacks I have sometimes because of the problems that I have with my environment, Lud made me breakfast. He came up to the bedroom with a big tray of all of my favorite food. Ve, his hair was down and he looked really tired and I bet he didn’t sleep at all the night before worrying about me. He was just wearing a tank top and the pants he wears when he trains and a white apron, and he comes in with this huge thing of food and kissed me good morning.
Honestly, it’s really mundane and sort of embarrassing, but I thought it was really sexy and touching. Ve, ve, he’s so great!
Ludwig: He’s always been shy. When we first met him at the orphanage he was playing alone, and wouldn’t really even look at Feli when he approached him.
Feliciano: Ve…I wish I knew. He’s always been very standoffish. He’s very social with us because we’ve had him since he was three, but he’s still bad around new people.
Ludwig: That’s not to say he isn’t better than he used to be.
Feli: Yeah, there’s that. He really has improved. He doesn’t shy away from one-on-one encounters anymore.
Lud: He has friends at school, too. We’ve met a couple of them.
Feli: He might get a girlfriend in a few years!
Lud: I don’t want to think about that so soon…
Feli: Ehh…? But aren’t you excited?
Lud: Ja, but I also hate to think he is growing up so fast.
Feli: Ve, true~. Ah, Lud, he really is getting too big too fast.
Lud: Ugh… *sigh* let’s talk about something else. I’m done.
Feliciano: Ve…hm…how to answer this. In human terms, it was a very slow process. For us, though, we got into our relationship astoundingly fast.
Ludwig: You have to remember that time for us and time for humans is perceived differently. We’ve been around for several human lifetimes.
Feli: Especially me. Anyway, Germany and I met during the First World War—we’d only seen each other in passing before then—and we were really great friends from after that until about…Hm, maybe a year into World War II?
Lud: Becoming allies in the second World War had us spending practically all of our time together, whether we had wanted to or not. Neither of us really minded this, and though we clashed a lot, at the end of the day we were always close friends again.
Feli: Lud and I fought a lot when back then. Haha, listen to me talking like that was a long time ago.
Lud: It feels like it was only yesterday. This all sort of happened when I messed up trying to take Feliciano out to dinner. I went about it the wrong way…
Feli: It was really awkward, but that’s just Lud in a nutshell and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Lud: I still wish I could have done it right, even if everything worked out in the end…the whole thing was embarrassing. I still have nightmares of that waiter’s face…
Feli: *laughing* Ve, his look of abject horror was the best part~!
Lud: No, it was horrible…
Feli: Ve, I wonder how he’d react if he knew that Sweden was gay?
Lud: Poor guy. I don’t think he would be able to handle it. Feli, we’ve gone off subject.
Feli: Ve!? We did! Oops~. Hmm…which one of us made the first move? You would think it was Lud, but really all he did was propose really embarrassingly! When we actually got together, I’m the one that started it.
Lud: That’s right. After that proposal, if Feli hadn’t made a move, I never would have. I was certain I had destroyed any semblance of a relationship we would have had after I pulled that stunt.
Feli: And it was really awkward. Ve, but the important thing is that everything worked out!
Lud: Exactly, we talked after that and we’ve been together since.
Feli: With just a couple of unimportant breakups over stupid stuff, but nothing major. Ve, we’re always back together in a couple of days~.
Lud: Every couple deals with that, though, more or less.
Feli: Ve~, I don’t think so. That’s it~!
Lud: That’s good. There was a lot to talk about this time. Didn’t want to leave anything out.
Feli: Which means the box is empty again. Okay, go for it!
Ludwig: Max is eleven, and he’s really mature for his age, I think. We like to run around outside together…he takes to training a lot better than someone else. *glances at Feli*
Feliciano: *shows no shame at all* He’s mio prezioso bambino! Ve, I love him so, so much. He’s hard to describe, though. He’s very quiet, and very devoted to us, even though he’s already figured out what we are and that we can’t always be together. He loves sports, and I think I’ve said that he’s a decent cook. He doesn’t like to paint, though.
Lud: Speaking of, if I was to say something really cute he did when he was little with Feli, I would have to say anytime they ever tried to paint. Max only ever liked to get the paint everywhere rather than get it on the paper. I would usually find them covered in paint, along with the whole room, and I would get mad…but then we would laugh about it and clean it up.
Feli: *giggles a little* Ve, I was just glad he was being creative. For when Lud was cute with Max…That was all the time! Ve, any time they were together they were adorable! He’d have Lud read him bedtime stories, he usually wouldn’t nap unless someone could hold him until he passed out—he liked Lud best—Lud taught him how to play football, they played clapping games, ve, and Ludi chasing Max around the house was always really funny!
Lud: >///> *coughs* R-right…
Feli: Ve, ve, they really are the cutest!
Lud: If you say so.
Feli: I do say so!
Lud: I’m certain you meant to say I look very manly while playing clapping games.
Feli: Ve, you should have seen how big he smiled when he was playing “Concentration” and naming off cities with Max~.
Lud: I think it’s time to change the subject.
Feli: Never~!
Feli: *pulls his hand away* Ve, where’s Max, I want him to say hi, too!
Lud: He’s in his room. You know how shy he is…
Feli: Ve, yeah…I wouldn’t want to put him into this kind of social situation before he’s ready.
Lud: Maybe another time.
Feli: Yeah. But in the meantime, keep asking questions~! Ve, as many as you want. This one was the last in our box, so we need more!
Feliciano: Ve? What I do for fun? Um…I like to paint! I used to sculpt a little…And listening to Lud read is great! Or just sitting in his lap or on his work and bothering him~.
Ludwig: I do not appreciate when you sit on my work.
Feli: We have had this discussion before! Ve, if I don’t stop you, no one will, and you’ll forget to eat! Now answer the question, amore~.
Lud: I don’t always forget to eat, only sometimes! Fine, for fun I like to read, and read aloud to Feli, I like to go drink with bruder even if he always drinks too much, and I like to have a quiet evening at home. …oh, and I like when we play football. >///>
Feli: And I bet we can agree that anything with Max is fun. He’s just so cute and sweet~!
Lud: Ja, that too.
Feli: Ve, I hope that answers you well enough~!
Ve, ve, Germany just found a camera with some pictures on it! I think this is from one of his visits to Japan’s house.
*fidgets a little and looks around*
Ve…what if he remembers both of them? What if he only forgot who he used to be, and what if he forgot me? What if Prussia re-raised him from a very small little nation? What if we’re together right now? Ve, what if I know what you’re trying to imply?
The point is, mister or miss anon, you can’t tell him. If he doesn’t figure it out himself, then he can’t know. We tried.
It almost broke him. I can’t lose him again.
Th-that’s because there’s nothing to say about us—! Merda—I mean him! There’s nothing to say about him! There is no “us” to say anything about!I… I don’t hafta explain myself to you, I… B-because he’s a bastard, that’s why—! ‘Che—!He proposed?! Che cazzo!? When the hell did this happen, huh?! Why wasn’t I aware?! Fratello, you need to tell me this shit when it happens. The bastard didn’t even ask for permission—! With Nonno not around, as eldest Vargas and just as much of a nation as you, my ruling is no.I’m going to try to ignore you calling me delusional. But /what/?!?! God damnit, fratello!
Feliciano: Ve, fratello, we’ve been together for a long time! What makes you think we’re going to break up at all?
Ludwig: He’s delusional, Feli. Let’s ignore him.
Feli: *hugs onto Lud’s arm* Of course~! Um, you other person asking about us getting married…I don’t think we ever said that we…
Ve?! What’s wrong now? Big Brother, you should calm down a little!
H-hey, fratello, I’m just as grown up as you! He proposed years ago, anyway, and like we said before, it’s not like we can actually get married! Ve, ve, Lovino, why don’t you like Lud anyway?
Ve…But I don’t say anything about you and Antonio!
Ve, ve, I know better than that, fratello! Anyway, you know lying rots your denti~! You remember Roma Nonno telling us that, right?
I… I don’t hafta explain myself to you, I… B-because he’s a bastard, that’s why—! ‘Che—!He proposed?! Che cazzo!? When the hell did this happen, huh?! Why wasn’t I aware?! Fratello, you need to tell me this shit when it happens. The bastard didn’t even ask for permission—! With Nonno not around, as eldest Vargas and just as much of a nation as you, my ruling is no.I’m going to try to ignore you calling me delusional. But /what/?!?! God damnit, fratello!
Feliciano: Ve, fratello, we’ve been together for a long time! What makes you think we’re going to break up at all?
Ludwig: He’s delusional, Feli. Let’s ignore him.
Feli: *hugs onto Lud’s arm* Of course~! Um, you other person asking about us getting married…I don’t think we ever said that we…
Ve?! What’s wrong now? Big Brother, you should calm down a little!
H-hey, fratello, I’m just as grown up as you! He proposed years ago, anyway, and like we said before, it’s not like we can actually get married! Ve, ve, Lovino, why don’t you like Lud anyway?
Ve…But I don’t say anything about you and Antonio!
