PrussiaxReader - IHaW Ch. 6

One tension filled week later, you arrived at Hetalia Academy. People filled the sidewalk around you, dragging suitcases and backpacks with them. You had a suitcase of your own, and a backpack slung over your right shoulder. You almost gasped in awe at the huge array of buildings that towered over you. You were completely lost.  

Antonio had arrived before you to meet with friends, and you didn't have his number, so that was just perfect. Even though you didn't have many friends back at your old school, it was still a pain to leave. Sighing at the thought, you tried to figure out where you were. Thinking back on it, you really should have gotten that map of the campus when you had the chance.

To be frank, you were afraid. You were in a huge new place, and you didn't know where to go at all. How would you get around? Hopefully you would find Antonio soon. Your feet led you to one of the many small picnic area that branched off around the school. A few chirps could be heard, along with an accented voice.

Blinking curiously, you continued down the pathway and saw a young man, probably no older than yourself, with snowy white hair and piercing red eyes. Your brows raised in surprise. Was that Gil? Finally, someone you recognized! He was sitting down on one of the benches, a few golden chicks surrounding him. Your eyes widened a bit at how gentle his face was as he spoke gently to them. Coughing to get his attention, you placed your suitcase by your side and smiled as he jumped in surprise. The chicks tweeted angrily in response, climbing on him again.

"________?" He said. His voice was curious, and a little wary. A blush grew on your face as you heard his accent.

"Hey, Gil!" You said, smiling in greeting.

"Awesome seeing you here, fraulein!" His voice grew in volume and the chicks flew off of him, tweeting angrily. He rubbed the back of his head and stood up. You had forgotten that he was taller than you and pouted. When he saw this, he pinched your cheeks. You cried out, glaring up at him.

"What was that for?" Rubbing your cheek, you mustered up the dirtiest glare you could make and sent it to him.

He simply chuckled and patted your shoulder."Sorry, you just looked adorable with that face! The awesome me can't resist adorable things!" His smile made your breath hitch, a dark red blush creeping up on your cheeks.

"U-Um…Thanks?" You glanced down at your feet, insanely embarrassed. The albino laughed again and put an arm around your shoulders.

"So, what can the awesome me do for you? You must be lost if you were wandering around with all your stuff." He glanced at your suitcase before facing you again.

You coughed before replying."Ha, well, yeah…I didn't expect this place to be so…big. I have no idea where my dorm is…"  With a small giggle, you rotated your head to look at him, only to have your noses bump because you were so close. A nervous laugh left your mouth as you backed up.

Gil rubbed the back of his head."Kesesesese, I guess I'm just too awesome to avoid. "A wide grin was shown on his mouth after speaking.

You rolled her eyes."Ok, whatever you say. But apparently I'm in dorm A-13….and I'm going to get complete lost without help." You laughed at your own helplessness, shaking your head in despair.

"Ah, that's easy. You'll be in the first building; it's by the main hall. Come on, I'll take you." Grabbing your suitcase, he reached out to hold your hand and rapidly made his way to a huge building. In a way, the school both frightened and excited you. It was a new experience, but would you do well here?

When you two finally reached the building, Gilbert walked you to your dorm, A-13. With a bright grin, he placed his arm around you. "Well, this is it! Do you have a key?" He looked down at you, and you nodded in response.

As you placed the key in the door and opened it, you saw that half of the room was already decorated. You knew that you were getting a roommate, but it was still surprising to see that she had already arrived and had prepared her side of the room. Her bed had a cream colored comforter, with multiple pillows. On the walls, there were pictures of France and Canada, along with polar bears, beavers, and…maple syrup?

When you and Gilbert stepped in, your roommate looked up from her book and blinked in surprise. The teenager was sitting cross-legged on her bed, her blonde pigtails hanging in front of her. The most intriguing thing about her was her amethyst eyes. In your opinion, they were beautiful!  A small polar bear looking stuffed animal was next to her. She adjusted her red glasses before taking a look at you.

"Gilbert? Who's this?" The blonde questioned, looking confused.

"This is your new awesome roommate. She's Antonio's half-sister, __________" The albino grinned widely, his arm still slung over your shoulders.

Your new roommate raised a brow, but stood up to shake your hand."Nice to meet you…I'm Maddie Williams." You noticed for the first time that the girl's voice was almost a whisper.

"It's my pleasure. Like Gil said, I'm _______." The blonde teenager nervously glanced around the room, rubbing her arm anxiously.

"I-I hope you don't mind that I decided which bed was mine before you got here…" You could tell that Maddie hoped that it wouldn't be a big deal, because she shuffled her feet and started to play with her hands.

Before you could protest, Gilbert spoke up."________ doesn't care! After all, a bed's a bed, right?" He sent his gaze to you and grinned.

Your face grew heated again when Gil looked at you."O-Of course not! I don't mind at all." You smiled politely before breaking away from the albino to place your bags against your new bed.

"Oi, fraulein, don't you want to go see your brother? He's probably settling in with Lovino already." Gilbert's heavy accent caught your attention as you turned around.

"Huh? Oh, ok." Walking towards the door with him, you waved to Maddie."I'll see you later!" The petite girl simply waved before sitting down on her bed again to continue reading.

"Gil, you mentioned a Lovino. Who's that?" You glanced over at the German with a questioning gaze.

"You really don't know?" The albino laughed and boredly placed his hands in his jacket pockets."That's your brother's boyfriend, ________! How could you not know?"

Your face grew red as you heard this new piece of information. Boyfriend? Did that mean Antonio was…gay? "Are you serious? I didn't even know he was gay!" Your eyes blinked in surprise. This gained another laugh from the albino.

"You're hilarious, frau! That made my day!" You scowled at him and crossed your arms stubbornly.

"You, sir, are immature!" Turning away from him, you continued to puff.

Gilbert, almost not realizing that you had stopped, wiped a stray tear from his eye and chuckled."Aw, come on, fraulein! I'm just kidding." When you turned to face him again, Gil placed an arm around your shoulders and guided you to a hallway.

"Almost there!" He whistled excitedly. You raised a brow but didn't comment. In a few moments they reached a door, which was already open. You peered in to see two brunettes fighting over a bed, and a blonde gazing at them with humor in his eyes.

"Come on, Lovi~ I either get the right bed or we share a bed~" You could've swore you heard Gilbert sneer beside you.

"Shut up, bastard! Why the hell would I share a bed with you? Just take the damn bed, tomato bastard! And don't call me that, my name's Lovino! L-o-v-i-n-o! LOVINO! Che palle, I'm going to see Feli!" His hand grabbed his school jacket and he stormed out of the room, almost bumping in to you on his way out.

You must have had a look of pure confusion on your face, because Gilbert patted your shoulder and sighed."Well, that's Lovino. He's…moody. But don't take him seriously." Smiling, he walked in to the room and greeted the Spaniard and the Frenchman.

"Bonjour, madamoiselle~" Francis called out. He was sitting on the recently fought over bed and stood to kiss your hand, peering up at you with sparkling eyes.

After taking your hand away from the man's lips, you faced your brother."Hi Francis, Antonio!"

Antonio, who was looking down at the bed dejectedly, beamed at you when you spoke."Ah, hola ________!" His emerald eyes brightened as he walked over and embraced you. After releasing you, he looked over at Gilbert, tilting his head slightly.

"Esperar…how'd you know where my dorm was? And how were you with Gilbert?" Seeing that your brother was clueless, you giggled.

"Ah, I found Gilbert and he brought me over. I need your number, Tonio, I could have died." You smiled and crossed your arms. Your brother rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment but turned to Gilbert first.

"Gracias for bringing mi hermana to me, amigo!" His smile seemed to light up the room, and Gilbert grinned.

"It's the least my awesome self could do." In a hearty laugh, he plopped down on one of the beds and got out his phone to text.

"How are you fairing so far, ________?" Francis glanced up at her with a catty smile. To be honest, his constant pedoness was starting to grow on you.

"The school's pretty nice, and by the looks of it, I have a nice roommate." You beamed at him and your brother, who was trying to call somebody. From that fight earlier, you assumed it was Lovino.

"Ah? You'll tell me who the lovely femme is, oui?" He grinned again, which made you almost want to not tell him.

"E-Eh…a girl named Maddie…she's blonde and has the most beautiful purple eyes…" You noticed his cheeks grow a soft pink and his eyes grew wide.

"Ohonhonhon~ you got the magnifique Canadien?" When you nodded, his happiness seemed to increase. You decided that it was best for your safety and innocence to drop the subject.
You looked over at Gil, who seemed to be watching the scene, but he quickly turned his attention back to his phone. Blinking, you turned your attention back to Antonio, who was humming something about tomatoes. Apparently he had given up trying to phone his boyfriend.

"Bro, I need you number." You started to tap in his information as he read it aloud to you.  

"Fraulein, may as well take mine too." Gilbert spoke up from the corner, glancing at you from the side of his vision.

"Eh? Alright…" Giving him your number, you smiled and typed in his name and number. Francis, unwilling to be left out, eagerly offered you his number as well, which you took.
Glancing at the time, you realized that it was already eight.

"Shoot, I need to get back. I have to start packing before it gets too late. Hey…Gil, can you help me back to my dorm? I seriously need a map or something…" Mumbling, you placed your phone in your jeans pocket and glanced hopefully at the albino.

When he nodded, you thanked him and hugged your brother goodnight. Waving to Francis, you followed Gilbert out of the room and whistled quietly as you walked down the dim path.

"Oh, Gil," You said, breaking the silence," You're German, right? Your accent and your last name kind of hint it." You added quickly.

"Huh? Oh. Kesesesese! The awesome Gilbert isn't German!" He snickered.

As if sensing your confusion, he elaborated."I'm Prussian, frau. Prussia is way more awesome than Germany! Germany's awesome…but not as awesome as Prussia." He grinned and eagerly turned to look at you.

You opened your mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped to think about what to say. Finally coming up with something, you started to talk."Didn't Prussia become an ex-nation a long time ago?"

Smirking at you, he grunted."Aw, come on, mentioning that is not awesome, ________." You giggled and nudged him.

"Well, you're still awesome." That was obviously the right thing to say, because he snickered loudly and threw his arm over your shoulders.

"I sure am, frau! Don't forget it, either!"
