Prussia X Reader
If I lay here



~We'll do it all
Everything
On our own~


You clung tightly to Gilbert's hand, tears streaming down your face.

"Don't you see _____?!" Your mother yelled from across the room. "He's bad news!"
"______, I agree with your mother." your dad said in a stern voice. "Leave him, or we leave you. It's as simple as that."

You gasped, how could they do this. Gilbert made you happy, he was perfect! Why did they hate him?! How could they make you choose.
Gilbert's arm snaked it's way around your waist and pull you close to him. You cried into his chest, not caring that your parents were scowling at you.
"Fräulein," your albino boyfriend whispered into your ear. "do you trust me?"

Taken aback by this sudden question, you looked up at him.
"Yes." You said quietly.

Upon hearing this, his heart jumped for joy and Gilbert squeezed you tightly.
"Awesome." He grinned.
He lightly kissed your forehead and let you go, turning towards your parents. "Mr und Mrs (last name), I apologize for vhatever I did zhat made you hate me und I'm sorry zhat it has to be like zhis." Gilbert sighed. "I'll be zhe first to admit; although I am awesome, I'm not perfect. No one is, vell, except for ______." He stopped talking and smiled down at you. He gently reached out and took your hand in his, squeezing it softly before continuing.
"Let me just say; making ______ choose between you, her parents, und me, her awesome boyfriend? Totally un-awesome." He said, giving his head a solemn shake.
"Und zhat is vhy, I'm afraid, I'll be taking her vith me." To emphasize his point, Gilbert let go of your hand and grabbed your waist, pulling you to his side.

Your mother looked as if she was about to cry and your fathers face was red with rage, eyes wide.
"W-what?" Your mother squeaked, taking a step towards you.

"You heard me." Gilbert said. "I'm taking ______ vith me."
Gilbert turned his attention back to you. "Frau, go upstairs and pack a small bag, ja? Just some clothes, undervear, you know, essentials."
You nodded, gave him a small peck on the cheek and ran upstairs to do as he said.

Five minutes later, you jogged back down the stairs, said goodbye to your parents, climbed into Gilbert's car and left.
Just the two of you.

~We don't need
Anything
Or anyone~

--
Gilbert quickly unlocked his apartment door and waved you inside.
You walked into the lounge as you heard Gilbert close the door behind you.

You couldn't believe what'd just happened. The way your parents reacted to Gilbert and how they'd threatened to kick you out. But what shocked you most was how quickly Gil had volunteered to let you stay with him.
Although he said it all the time, you couldn't believe that he'd really done something so… awesome.

You sighed, overwhelmed by the sudden rush of emotions that you were feeling. Both sadness and happiness were dancing around inside the confines of your heart, causing a strong wave of confusing to pulse throughout your body.
Before long, sadness won out, causing you to fall to your knees and sob into your hands.

Seeing this, Gilbert sprung into action.
"H-hey frau, don't cry." He cooed, kneeling down beside you.
He sat on the ground and shuffled over to the wall, leaning his back against it and pulling you into his lap. Wrapping his arms around your waist, he laid your head on his chest and whispered in your ear. "_____, why are you crying? Do you want awesome five-meters zhat badly?" He asked, ending with a smirk.

"G-Gilbert!" You cried, almost choking on your tears from the shock of what he'd just said. You shook your head, chuckling slightly.
Gilbert sighed, nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck. "Ah, zhat's better, _____. The awesome me likes it much better vhen your smiling. Besides, crying is totally un-awesome." He said, kissing your cheek.
He took your hands in his and stood up, gently pulling you up with him. Cupping your face in his hands, he bought his face down so that it was level with your own.
"Don't vorry about your parents, _____. Your mein frau now, you don't need zhem, Okay?"
You nodded, looking into his shining ruby eyes. They held concern, awesome adoration and… something else. Something that you couldn't quite recognise.

Before you knew it, Gilbert's face was a mere centimetre from your own. His pale lips curled into a smile before closing the gap between his lips and your own in a gentle kiss.
"Gilbert, thank you."
--
A year had passed since you'd left your parents and moved in with the self-proclaimed 'Awesome One'. Even with his endless talk of being awesomer than everyone else and his obsession with beer, to be honest, you were happier than you'd ever been in your life.
--
"Gott! Lighten up, Specs." Gilbert all but yelled, looking behind him, causing him to stumble and almost fall over a loose stone on the ground. You quickly grabbed Gilbert's hand, steadying him and continued to run.

"GILBERT! You swine, get back here at once!"

To celebrate the one year anniversary of you moving in with Gilbert, he'd decided to take you out to the park and spend the day together. Despite the plan, the two of you were currently running from a very angry Austrian concerning an incident a couple of days ago that involved Gilbert, some beer and Roderich's favourite piano.

You'd been running for about 10 minutes when Gilbert stopped and motioned for you to join him. As you approached, you could've sworn that you heard him mumble something about the Austrian's un-awesomeness.
As you caught your breath you took a good look at your surroundings.
Somehow, you'd ended up at a cliff on the outskirts of town. This place held the best view in town, that is, if you stood at the edge. From there, it was all mountains and clouds as far as the eye could see. Just looking at it made you momentarily forget everything else. It was breathtaking.

"Hey frua~" Gilbert called, effectively snapping you out of your thoughts.

"Hmm?" You said, turning to face him.
His signature cheeky grin was plastered to his face and his red eyes had a mischievous glint. He stuck his hand in the pocket of his jeans for a moment before pulling out his phone and shoving it into your hands.
"Vhen I tell you to, take a picture of zhe awesome me, ja?" He commanded, striding confidently over to the edge of the cliff.

You fiddled with the phone for a couple of seconds, making sure it was on camera mode. You carefully studied the small screen. "What the fu…"You trailed off, blinking furiously. Surely he couldn't be..
You looked up and sure enough, there was Gil, planking on the edge of the cliff, his ever-present grin still visible even though his head was face down.

Dropping the phone, you promptly ran over to your boyfriend, picked him up and yelled in his face. "GILBERT! What have I told you about planking?!" You screeched, causing him to cackle like the madman he quite possibly was.
"Seriously, Gil, what the hell do you think you were doing?! You could've fa-"
But alas, dear reader, your rant was cut short when Gilbert swiftly cupped your face in his hands and brought his lips gently down on yours, enveloping them in a sweet, loving kiss.

After a moment Gilbert pulled away, leaving your face flushed bright red.
"Kesesesese~" Gilbert laughed, taking note of your embarrassment.

Gilbert shuffled back a bit and patted the ground next to him. Grinning up at you, he laid back down, still dangerously close to the edge.
"Care to join me, frau?"

You warily eyed the edge of the edge of the cliff and it was far too close to Gilbert for your liking. Then you looked back to the albino who was still grinning madly.

"Gilb-"
"You trust me don't you?" He said seriously , catching you of guard. You nodded, knowing what he was getting at. "Awesome." He motioned for you to go to him. "Now c'mon, frau. I promise, zhe view is great und as long as I'm here, nozhing un-awesome vill happen. Ja?"

You smiled, finally realizing that he was right. You'd been with him for so long and he'd always stood by you. Through the tough times and the good times.

You cautiously laid down next to Gilbert. He swiftly wrapped his arms around you and rolled you both over so that you were facing the edge. You gasped, taken aback. The view was, as he said, truly amazing. Just majestic mountains and swirls of white, blue and grey for as far as the eye could see.
Gilbert nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck and you closed your eyes, forgetting the world and enjoying the moment.
--
~If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world~

--

You'd been lying in blissful silence for a while when Gilbert finally spoke up.

"F-frau?" He spoke, uncharacteristically quietly in your ear.
"Mm? What is it Gil?"

Gilbert shifted uncomfortably and released his hold on you, propping himself up on one elbow so as to get a better look at you. You immediately turned around and did the same.

He looked down and began to nervously fiddle with the grass.

"Gilbert?" You raised an eyebrow at him, urging him to continue.

He took a deep breath and sighed, lifting his head to meet your eyes. His deep-red orbs held so much emotion. Affection, longing… fear and worry? His usual cocky attitude had completely disappeared.  Something was seriously not right here.

"______, zhere's something zhat zhe awesome me has been meaning to tell you. F-for a vhile now." He began.
He looked at you as if expecting you to say something. When you remained silent he gulped and continued.

"V-vhen you left your folks-before zhen even- I've alvays… UGH!" He ran a hand through his hair, gritting his teeth in frustration, his face flushed.

"Y-you're an awesome mädchen, _____." He said, a small smile making it's way onto his lips. "Almost as awesome as myself… but not quite." He sighed, his smiled fading slightly.

Gilbert paused for a moment and looked down, as if prepping himself for something. "Verdammt!" he cursed under his breath. "Vhy is zhis so hard?"

He looked up, his ruby-red eyes locking with you bright (e/c) ones. "F-frau, I guess vhat I'm trying t-to say is… ich liebe dich." With this, Gilbert's face turned a shade of red dangerously close to that of his eyes and his face twisted into a nervous smile.

~Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough~

--
Your face flushed under your boyfriend's intense gaze. You couldn't understand what he'd just said, but whatever it was, it had to be important.

You shook your head slightly, trying to figure it out. Giving up you decided to get it over with and ask Gilbert what he'd actually said in his sexy native language.

If it was at all possible, his face reddened even more. "I love you, _____." He translated, still looking deep into your sparkling (e/c) orbs.

You gasped. Gilbert, not giving you any time to respond, jumped right in and kept talking.

"Y-you're just so perfect, frau. Perfect to the point zhat it's almost ridiculous… but it's not. You know how awesome zhat is?!' He said, his voice rising slightly.
"You're alvays looking out for me, even vhen I do crazy, un-awesome shit. You alvays side vith me, und not Specs or Lud. Vhen I get drunk out of mein mind, you're right beside me, drunk out of your mind!"

He hurriedly got to his knees, his hands firmly gripping your shoulders and holding you at arms length. What he failed to see, was the grin that had taken over your face and the tears gathering in your eyes.
Wasting no time, he continued his rant.

"You're so beautiful zhat vhen I vake up in the morning und see you asleep beside me, I vant to cry out of happiness. You're just zhat awesome, frau. I have no idea vhat I'd do vithout you." He said, his mouth curling into a sweet smile at the end. "____, I love you so much."
--
~I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own~

--
He gently wiped the tears from your eyes and pulled you into a gentle hug, rubbing your back and making soothing noises in your ear. After a while he pulled back and placed a kiss on you forehead.

Before you knew it, Gilbert was on his feet then down on one knee with a small jewellery box in the palm of his hand.

"_____," he said, a grin once again dominating his face. But it wasn't his usual cocky grin, it was sincere and filled with true happiness and… love.
"Be mein frau, forever. _____, I love you so much, so much that sometimes it hurts. Please, frau, become mein awesome vife?" with his last few words his grin widened and he slowly opened the small box to reveal a beautiful silver ring with small diamonds littered around the edges.

As soon as the words left Gilbert's mouth, there was nothing in the world that could stop you from throwing yourself at him and planting kisses all over his face.

"Oh, Gil, of course I will!" You cried, pulling back just long enough for him to slip the ring onto your finger. Laughing, he tightly wrapped his arms around your waist and pulling the two of you to the ground.

He looked down at you, his happy grin still plastered to his face.
"Let's just lay here for a vhile, ja? Just forget zhe vorld."

You nodded and nuzzled your head into his chest, breathing deeply.
"I love you so much, ya know that? And ya know what else?" Not giving him time to answer, you cut in and said,
"You really are awesome."

~If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world~
