tackles him from behind and stares at the puppy. "Another dog, West?"

presses a hand to his brother's face, lightly pushing him off. "There's two, bruder, I found them hiding behind a broken fence in the park."

gets off him and takes a seat next to him on the porch. "I see~ How many dogs do we have now again...?" He blinks.

Prussia a blank look. "Blackie, Aster, and Berlitz make three, bruder. I'm only going to look after these two until..." Ludwig sighs.

stares at the puppy and pats it on the head. It was pretty cute. "Until...?" He looks at its parent as well.

"..I don't know." He was originally planning on taking the two down to the animal shelter in the morning, but those puppy dog eyes were_

getting to him.

leans forward and picks up the puppy, placing it on his lap. "Well it's cute~ I guess we could keep them for a while!"

shakes his head, smiling ever-so-slightly at his brother and the puppy. "I will never understand you and your obsession with cute things."

plays with the puppy on his lap, grinning at it. It was so playful~ "Well cute things are good!" He laughs. "But I bet you kept the puppy_

because it was cute~"

turns his head to the side, attempting to hide his blush. "S-so? I bet you keep those posters of Italy in your room because they're cute."

blinks in surprise, though he notices with some satisfaction that the other's face was red. "H-how did you know... w-well Italy is cute!"

scowls, giving the other a what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you? look. "So! That's doesn't make it any less creepy to have those in your room."

frowns back at him. "Well I plan to keep the posters soon and replace them with more pictures of me... So it's not creepy anymore!"

"What..? That.. that still makes it creepy, bruder!" The puppy was starting to look irritated..

doesn't notice the puppy getting irritated. "Well you can't seem them anymore, what's so creepy about that!" He yelps a little when the_

puppy suddenly bites his finger. "W-west! It bit me!"

sighs, gently taking the puppy away from his brother. "She, bruder, she bit you." Placing the puppy down by her parent, Ludwig carefully_

examining his brother's finger, scoffing at how dramatic he was being. "She didn't even break the skin, bruder."

pouts a little, watching him examine the bitten finger. "But it hurt." He knew he was being a little too dramatic about it.

rolls his eyes at the other's comment. "C'mon you big baby, let's go get you a Hello Kitty band aid."

shakes his head. "I don't want a Hello Kitty band-aid~! I just want a kiss on it!" He insists.

stares at his brother. "...Please don't tell me you're serious, bruder." He groans.

brings the bitten finger nearer the other's face. "But I am!" He pouts. "Just a kiss...?"

sighs. "You're not going to leave me alone until I do it, are you?"

hides a triumphant smirk and continues with the act, pouting. "Nein~ I still want my kiss!"

eyes his brother irritatedly. "..Fine, but don't expect me to do this every time you get hurt."

happily smiles at him and holds his finger out. "Kiss it~ And I won't! Promise!"

quickly puckering his lips to give his brother's finger a brief kiss. "There, now go inside and give these two a bath."

doesn't hide his triumphant grin and nods. "Sure~" He picks up the puppy and whistles for the other dog to follow him and heads to the_

bathroom so he can wash them up.

rolls his eyes, holding the door open for his brother. "And please don't throw Pookie into the bath again, it'

*wasn't funny then and it certainly won't be funny now."

laughs and continues holding the puppy. "I won't~ Don't worry~" He places the puppy on the floor and starts filling up the tub.

Prussia a look. "Bruder.. I'm serious, I'm not going to kiss the scratch marks he'll give you like last time.."

finishes filling the tub and grins. "I'll be careful, okay?" He picks up the puppy and carefully places her in the tub, hoping she didn't_

mind the water.

leans against the door frame, watching the other. "I should go get more dog food.. and other things.."

carefully washes the puppy, taking care not to hurt her or let any water or soap get into her eyes. He turns to look at his brother. "You_

should~ You can go now if you like! I'll be fine here!"

nods, turning to collect his keys and wallet. "Do you want anything from the store while I;m out, bruder?"

about it for a while. "Some food for Gilbird~ That's all I need!" He continues to scrub the puppy, washing her thoroughly.

"Alright, call me if there's anything else that you need." He shouts in a indoor voice, going out the back door to his car.

"Ja~ I will~" He calls back, then goes back to humming and washing the puppy, rinsing her gently and then carrying her out of the tub and_

dries her with a nearby towel.

about five minutes away from the house and already sitting in traffic, this was going to be a looong night.. "Gott verdammt, go!"

looks at the larger dog, humming and slowly coaxes her to the tub. He hopes she is well behaved.

parks his car on the side of the pet store, quickly getting out and heads inside the store, it was getting dark out after all..

manages getting the other dog in the tub. He starts washing her carefully, with the little puppy onlooking.

already grabbed everything he needed and is now standing in line behind a noisy Italian. And night has gotten even longer than berfore..

*before

whistles as he washes the dog, glad she was pretty tame and not moving around so much. He wonders when his brother will be back.

finally left the pet store after gott knows how long and is now on his way home.

rinses the other dog and leds her out of the tub, but she jumps out and makes quite a lot of things wet. He sighs as he wipes her down.

now home and currently trying to get everything out of the car.

finished washing the two dogs, but the bathroom is wet and so are his clothes.

squeezes through the back door, carrying all the bags. "Bruder! I'm back."

quickly starts to dry the bathroom with an already wet towel. "Oh! Uh, I'm almost done!" He turns around to find the dogs already left the_

bathroom.
