Just Let Me Help You

Just let me help you

Walking past his brother’s office and taking notice of the way he looked, hunched over his desk and the dark circles under his eyes, Gilbert knew he had to do something.

Something turned out easier said than done, but after a bit of a struggle he had managed to drag Ludwig away from his desk. Now he only needed to get him out of this room, then up the stairs and finally into his bedroom so that he could go to bed.

All while his little brother was going on and on about that meeting he needed to be prepared for and the work he still had to do on his presentation.

“You need sleep, that’s what you need. I’ll do that presentation for you and it’ll be awesome, like me.”

“You can’t.” Ludwig resisted. “I’m the one that goes to the meetings, not you.” It was true, but he wasn’t able to fully hide grimace that came over his face as he grumbled his answer to that. “No need to remind me of that.”

Silence followed between them and during the silence it suddenly became much easier to maneuver his younger brother.

The silence bothered him. While Ludwig had never been a man or even a child of many words, this silence was clearly born from a sense of guilt and that hadn’t been his intention. He had never and would never blame the loss of his status as a nation on Ludwig.

So he broke the silence as they walked up the stairs. “West, I only meant that I’ll write your speech for you. I still know how to write an awesome speech. It will be waiting for you on your desk when you wake up. You’ll only need to read it through before your meeting.”

His little brother looked at him silently for a moment.

“Danke, Bruder.” Before he walked into his bedroom.

“You don’t forget how to do the work of a nation.” He murmured to himself as he went downstairs to work on that awesome speech he had spoken of. And awesome it would be.

Here’s a thought: Astrology, but instead of starsigns, your birth symbol is the aph country that won Eurovision the year you were born.

Embarrassment

“You’re really doing this to me. I can’t believe you’re actually doing this.” Henri grumbled at his big brother before taking a more accusing tone of voice to add “I trusted you.”

Said older brother seemed to pay no more attention to him than he did to any of Henri’s bosses as he continued to drag the younger man out of his office and away from his work. There was so much work that needed attention!

Not that he dared to look at his own bosses for help, he was so embarrassed that they saw him like this. Pulled out of his office and soon out of the building entirely while clutching a single file of paperwork to his chest. He was completely certain they had been able to listen to the brothers argue in his private office before Ned had slammed that door open and forced the smaller nation out.

“Johan,” he tried again, “I told you how much work I have left to do. I’m sorry I don’t have time to come to the party, you know I’ll really try to be there next time.” The only thing that earned him was Johan quickening his pace.

As soon as they were out of sight, the taller man turned around. “You should thank me, Lux. Emma wanted to drag you out of here herself.”

A brief silence followed. “Think about that.”

He did.

He knew what that would have meant. Childhood stories.

“Thank you.” Still clutching that one file.
