Chapter Text
In a comfy home in Berlin lies two brothers named Gilbert and Ludwig, they are a hardworking nation and ex-nation duo that rarely take days off, for the week, that would change. Both of them had requested for a week off, as to reward themselves for all their hard work. It took a bit of time to convince their boss for a full week off, but in the end, they got what they desired. Now, how shall they spend this week off?
The television was on, Gilbert was lazily taking up most of the couch eating a bag of potato chips while Ludwig sat on an armchair holding a notepad.
"Sooo, have you thought of anything we should do this week?" Gilbert asked while his focus shifted back to the show playing on the tv.
"Hmm, I haven't quite thought of much, plus, I don't think anything I wrote down would catch your attention," Ludwig replied.
They sat in silence until Gilbert spoke.
"How about we go somewhere, see something new, y'know?"
"Actually, that's not a bad idea." Ludwig took note.
"I know, my ideas are always awesome! Where do you think we should go though?"
Gilbert was about to switch off the tv when an ad popped up.
"UGHHH! STUPID TV, TURN OFF, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS DUMB ADVERTISEMENT!" The television was lagging and Gilbert kept spamming buttons like that would solve the tv issue.
"Wait, wait, look!" Ludwig said, interrupting Gilbert's complaining.
"Huh?"
The advertisement that popped up on the television showed a vacation trip to Italy, everything about the ad made Italy look so wonderful. It showed delicious italian food, beautiful landmarks and places to visit, the overall beauty of Italian culture.
Gilbert finally turned off the tv once the advertisement ended.
"How about we go to Italy? It seems nice." Ludwig asked with a slight smile displayed on his face.
"Hmm, I don't know, we've been there many times, plus, there isn't that much interesting stuff left in Italy that we haven't seen."
A smirk suddenly appeared on Gilbert's face.
"Wait, do you want to go there so you can see your little boyfriend, Feliciano?"
"No, no, I just thought, we usually have a good time when we are there, so why not visit it again?" Ludwig stuttered and blushed while getting his words out, Gilbert, clearly not convinced.
"Don't worry, we can go to Italy, I know how badly you want to see him." Gilbert was struggling not laugh while getting his words out, it was difficult while seeing how flustered his younger brother was.
"Alright, alright, while in that case, we should get packing since we don't really have too long of a vacation, but are you sure you want to go to Italy? I know you are probably bored of going there again."
Of course, the ex-nation knew it would be very boring going there for what, the tenth time? But he knew his brother would be happy seeing his boyfriend that he hasn't seen in who knows how long with all the work they have been doing. But then, Prussia sparked an idea. Yes, he would be going to Italy no matter what, but, he could go to a different part of italy that they haven't been too! South Italy, the ex-nation could go to South Italy while his brother spends his time in North Italy with Feliciano.
"Wait, I have an idea, I can go to south italy while you can go to north italy!
"South Italy... is there even anything to do there? If you find North Italy boring, then you will for sure find South Italy boring."
"I was thinking of visiting and staying with your boyfriend's brother, Lovino, maybe he can show me some nice things to do there!"
Lovino, seriously, What on earth was his brother on? He's an angry nation who gets mad easily, most-definitely hates both of the German brothers (especially Prussia with his loud mouth), and most of all, Gilbert staying with Lovino? There's no way that could happen, he would probably shove the door right in his face the moment he opens the door to find the albino on his door step.
"Um, are you sure he will let you stay, I don't think he is very fond of visitors..."
"Don't worry man, I'm sure he will!"
"Alright, but if he doesn't let you stay, you are free to stay with Feliciano and I."
And with that, the brothers began packing for their vacation, in Italy. It took roughly an hour of packing and making sure they have enough essentials for the whole week on vacation. Once they finished packing, they quickly got to the train station so they wouldn't miss their train. Thankfully, they made it in time and got aboard the train.

Six hours passed, Germany finally got up from his seat. It was a long and tiring six hours, Gilbert would keep getting bored and would start yapping about random nonsense to his brother. The ex-nation received some glares and side eyes from people next to them. How would Gilbert be staying with Lovino with a personality like this?
"Alright, I need to get off now, make sure you don't do any more stupid things and start talking to people next to you about a 'what if a meteor hits this train' or something like that, and good luck with convincing Lovino."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't!"
Germany had an unconvinced look on his face, but he quickly turned around and left the train.
.
.

A few more hours had passed and it was now at his destination in South Italy, Gilbert wasn't really checking the time, it was all just a boring million hours to him. Thankfully, he fulfilled his brother's request of not doing anything stupid, somehow. He got up from his seat and left the train. Now, he needed to get to Lovino's place. Oh gosh, how would he convince the southern half of Italy to let him stay at his place? Whatever, it's fine, he needs to worry first about getting to Lovino's place. Wait, where does he even live?
Suddenly, Gilbert heard a buzz from his phone, he got a message! Who could it be?
It was a message from his brother, it read: "You're probably standing there like an idiot, wondering where Romano lives, he lives at [Romano's location]"
How mean! Ludwig probably wouldn't have known where to go either, whatever, atleast he knows where to go now.
The southern half of Italy lived not too far from where the train station was, it would take the ex-nation about fifteen minutes to get to Lovino's place if he picked up the pace in his walking. Sounds awesome, Gilbert loved to walk, this was nothing, even with the hassle of having to carry his luggage. The albino wasted no time and quickly got moving.
As Gilbert was walking, he noticed how loud the streets of South Italy were, nothing like how it was where he lived. The cars and people were quite loud, even with it being late in the day, that was alright, he's been in loud areas before in Germany.
.
.
.
Finally, he made it to Lovino's place, it took a bit longer than fifteen minutes, probably because Gilbert couldn't keep up the pace in his walking. But he finally made it to his destination at least. Now, all he had to do was knock on the door and ask if he could stay.. for a full week.
He gave a knock, no one answered.
He knocked again, still nothing. He was about to knock a third time when he heard a grown coming from inside the house, yep that was him.
The door opened, there stood a young man, brunette with hazel eyes. He wore a white shirt with black pajama shorts, he looked very exhausted and didn't look like he was in the mood to start a conversation with someone like Prussia.
"Nope, nope, I am not in the mood to talk to you, no clue why you are here but I don't care." The brunette formed a frown on his face.
"Hey, Hey, hear me out!" The albino cleared his throat.
"Uh.. can I stay with you for the week, bitte?"
Lovino reached toward the door knob and was a second away from slamming the door in his face, why the hell would he let that bastard stay with him!? Not a single time had Lovino wanted to be with Gilbert, he didn't even want to be with Germany, but Prussia, no way, never!
"Why, why on earth should I let you stay, why do you even want to stay with me?"
"Um.. so my brother and I are off for a week and he really wanted to visit Italy, to see his boyfriend. I kinda didn't want to go to North Italy again so I decided to visit South Italy because I thought it would be a new experience! And I decided, while I'm at it, I can visit you, and maybe you can show me around. And we can hang out since we've never really talked before! And it would also be very difficult getting to North Italy if you don't let me stay! Please let me stay!!"
"Ugh, you know what, whatever, just come in, I don't care."
Woah! He just let Prussia into his place that easily? That was so much easier than he expected. He was expecting Lovino to open the door, see Gilbert, and immediately slam the door, right in front of his face.
"Thank you Lovino, You're awesome!!!"
"Whatever, idiot, just.. get in my house."
And with that, the ex-nation would be staying with the southern half of Italy for a week, this week will be awesome!
