didn't even know there was something wrong with the car!
Ludwig
2013-11-04T22:14:34.000Z
had been working on it for a bit. The transmission hadn't been working well at all.
Gilbert
thinks 2013-11-05T03:53:29.000Z
West should have called him to help! Two heads are better than one.
Ludwig
2013-11-05T03:54:48.000Z
thinks he's more than welcome to help now. Plus he was busy with the intricacies under the car to check the rest of the engine.
can do that! He heads over to the car with a few beers in hand. Setting them down, he started to look over the rest of the engine. "Weeeest~"
Ludwig
2013-11-05T04:03:41.000Z
rolls out from under his car grease smeared. "Gilbert! Perfect timing."
He eyes the beer. "Very good timing."
grins at that. "Right? Your bruder knows best, afterall."
Ludwig
2013-11-05T04:20:03.000Z
cracks an amused smile. "Ja, of course. You've been telling me since I was a kid. Pass me one, bitte."
opens a bottle, pressing it into his hand. "And I still have to remind you. What does that say?"
Ludwig
2013-11-05T04:38:06.000Z
takes it and takes a drink. "Either you like hearing yourself talk or I'm a poor student."
grins. "I like hearing myself talk. Definitely."
Ludwig
2013-11-05T05:14:12.000Z
laughs. "I know. I did grow up under you and Roderich. You both like hearing yourselves talk."
crinkles his nose at that. "Bah, specs always has a stick up his ass."
Ludwig
2013-11-06T04:53:36.000Z
nods clearly having heard this many times before. "Ja, you've told me that many times too."
kinda misses Roderich. "Well it's true."
Ludwig
2013-11-07T00:10:06.000Z
had a feeling. He missed Roderich a bit too. He places his beer down and rolls under the car again. "So what brings you out to the garage?"
shrugs. "Came to check on you, that's all."
Ludwig
2013-11-07T00:58:24.000Z
hums since Gilbert probably couldn't see anything of his face under the car. "Could you pass me the monkey wrench?" He asks as he places down his other tool. "I haven't seen you in a while...have you
Ludwig
2013-11-07T01:01:26.000Z
been alright?"
rummages through the box, handing the other the wrench. "It hasn't been that long, has it?" He wasn't really sick anymore, so he could face West now. But he had been avoiding him >>;;
Ludwig
2013-11-07T04:50:46.000Z
would hate to know that if that were the case. He takes the wrench and brings it to the place be was fixing. "It's been around two weeks." He states. He may or may not have kept track on his calendar.
only avoided him, because he got really really sick, and West had told him to take medicine....and he hadn't. He didn't want to see West's disappointed face. "That long? I think we should go get lunch or_
_something to make up for lost time."
Ludwig
2013-11-07T05:09:54.000Z
rolls back out from under the car with a small smile. "I think that's a great idea."
grins at the smile. "Me too! It'll be great."
Ludwig
2013-11-08T00:10:03.000Z
Rolls back under. "Let me just finish with this and I'll take a quick shower so we can go."
Gilbert
is 2013-11-11T19:43:56.000Z
so excited, he's trying not to bounce. "Ja, ja. take your time."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T19:47:46.000Z
works on it until he's completely satisfied. He rolls back out, chugs his beer and gets up. "Pick the restaurant. I'll be done in ten minutes." He's already heading towards his bedroom.
cheers, heading towards the house to inform the dogs. They get upset if he vanishes without explanation, honest!
Ludwig
2013-11-11T19:56:41.000Z
takes a quick shower, changes an makes it down glancing around for Gilbert. "Did you figure out where you wanted to eat?"
nods. "Jaa, that nice place down across from main? They have good fuckin' beer, and awesome food."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:01:43.000Z
smiles. "Sounds great. Do you want to drive or would you rather walk?"
wriggles happily. He felt like brother time just didn't happen anymore. "Walk~"
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:08:06.000Z
couldn't help but agree. He really did miss Gil. "Great. Let's go then." He says shrugging on his jacket, scarf and mits."
cackles a little at how much West bundled up. He was actually pretty good with the cold. Didn't feel it as much, even if he did still get sick more than he liked to.
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:20:33.000Z
quirks a brow at his brother's lack of clothes for the weather. "You aren't going to be cold?" He asks as he exits the house. He learned there was no winning with Gilbert at times.
shrugs. "Naah, I'm fine. It's a short walk anyways. Remember when we didn't have fancy shit like heating? I can take it, West."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:28:00.000Z
thinks a fire is still quite a good method of heating regardless. "If you insist." It really wasn't that far. He keeps pace with Gilbert as they head in the restaurants direction.
Gilbert
is 2013-11-11T20:31:31.000Z
so excited, and bounces around a little while they walk. "So what have you been up to? It's been forever."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:34:08.000Z
smiles lightly when he notices this. "I've actually had to do a lot of last minute work for Frau Merkel."
crinkles his nose at that. "Work? You're always doing work, West..."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:43:06.000Z
grins a bit. "Can I tell you a secret, Gil...and you won't get angry?"
perks up at that. It was a strange request...usually he encouraged bad behaviour from West, wasn't sure why he'd get angry. "When have I ever gotten angry over something that makes you happy?"
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:51:09.000Z
| That was true. "I still go on random missions and training with our military...that's why I seem more busy than I am."
stares at him in shock...before smacking him on the arm. "And you don't invite me? That's fucking awesome, why keep it a secret? I wanna gooo, Weeeeest!"
Ludwig
2013-11-11T20:58:18.000Z
laughs a little. "Next week then. I can't tell you right now what's it about but you'll enjoy it."
bounces in happiness, so incredibly excited. "Sweet!" He tackles his brother, clinging to him. "Danke, danke, danke, dankeeee"
Ludwig
2013-11-11T21:08:07.000Z
nearly loses balance but saves himself last minute. He flushes patting his brother on his head. "Bitte...unfortunately we'll always be military men at heart. This is good for us..."
Gilbert
was 2013-11-11T21:10:24.000Z
raised for the sole purpose of being one. "Ja, definitely. It'll add some excitement too."
Ludwig
2013-11-11T21:12:54.000Z
hums at that. "I should have told you sooner but I never got a chance too..."
Gilbert
gives 2013-11-11T21:17:25.000Z
him a look. "Mmmmhm. Why'd you think I'd be mad?"
Ludwig
2013-11-11T23:08:03.000Z
eyes the look."I used to bad reactions.,.although really I should have known."
scoffs at that. "From who? Not me, you know I support you in basically everything."
Ludwig
2013-11-12T23:25:43.000Z
smiles at that. That was true too. "I know...sometimes I can't help think the worst."
shakes his head. Ridiculous. "Well now we can both go on awesome missions together!"
Ludwig
2013-11-14T00:36:16.000Z
smiles. "Ja, it really will be like old times."
Gilbert
is 2013-11-14T20:10:19.000Z
so excited. "We'll kick all the ass, show those humans a thing or two."
Ludwig
2013-11-14T23:06:55.000Z
smiles a bit as they near the restaurant. "A lot of them are peace missions so don't get to excited."
blows a raspberry at that. He was a horrible person for this, but he kinda missed war... "Better than nothing."
Ludwig
2013-11-16T00:19:54.000Z
did too, maybe it ran in their blood. "Nothing wrong with that. We were built on war."
guesses so. "Jaa, we were. It's how we grew up."
Ludwig
2013-11-16T00:27:11.000Z
nods as he opens the door to the restaurant. "It's how you raised me too."
hums. "Ja, I raised you pretty tough, huh...but you always knew how to fend for yourself when I wasn't there."
Ludwig
2013-11-16T00:38:20.000Z
hums. "That's because of you though. If you hadn't raised and trained me like that I could have easily been a different person."
hums in thought. "Do you ever wish....I mean. Looking back, I was pretty tough...I should have let you have more fun as a kid, you know?"
Ludwig
2013-11-16T01:38:27.000Z
shrugs, it was to late to wish. "What you taught me was valuable and I wouldn't change that for the world."
turns the corner, spotting the restaurant. "Ja, I guess...but I was kind of a good brother when you were growing up, right?"
Ludwig
2013-11-16T01:47:23.000Z
(( I thought we were in the restaurant? ))
Ludwig
2013-11-16T01:48:01.000Z
quirks a brow at Gilbert. "Ja, of course...why do you ask?"
[ohshit...sorry, yea. Ignore that part.]
shakes his head. "Nein, nothing...just making sure."
Ludwig
2013-11-16T02:00:51.000Z
was glancing through the menu but more at him, a little unsure.
flips to the beer section, trying to decide which one he wants. So many choices...!
Ludwig
2013-11-16T02:09:42.000Z
Has decided on something and closes the menu.
Gilbert
has 2013-11-16T02:20:38.000Z
no fucking idea what he wants. But he knows what kind of beer he wants. "West. What are you getting?"
Ludwig
2013-11-16T02:25:29.000Z
opens the menu and points to the picture. "I got it last time but you ended up eating half of it."
pauses. "Oh...well then we'll both get the same thing! That way I'll just eat mine."
Ludwig
2013-11-19T00:20:18.000Z
smiles lightly. "That sounds fair."
grins at him. "Aww, I missed you West."
Ludwig
2013-11-19T04:33:12.000Z
's expression softens. "I miss you too."
Gilbert
wants 2013-11-19T15:47:15.000Z
to smush his cheeks, but they're...in a restaurant. And West will kill him if he gets them kicked out. "Sorry I haven't been around a lot. It's shitty of me, especially when you're all small like this."
Ludwig
2013-11-19T15:49:18.000Z
(( He's not small in this one. xD ))
[that's okay dude, he always wants to smush his cheeks xD]
Ludwig
2013-11-19T15:56:37.000Z
(( Ah haha, that I know. xDD Fucking Gilbert. ))
Ludwig
is 2013-11-19T15:57:19.000Z
glad he's unaware of what Gil wants to do. "It happens. I can't expect you to be there for me all the time. That would be unfair."
frowns. "I should be there for you all the time. I'm your older brother, that's what I'm here for."
Ludwig
gives 2013-11-19T16:01:29.000Z
him a mixed look of gratefulness but sadness. "Gilbert I'm glad you're here." He says simply.
smiles a little at that. "I'm glad you're here too."
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:08:18.000Z
manages to catch the waiters attention and orders their meal and beers.
clears his throat, playing nonchalant as West orders. Geez. Family feels...
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:14:39.000Z
glances at him quirking a brow. "Are...you alright Gil?"
scoffs. "Jaaa, course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be alright?"
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:19:35.000Z
's brow raises but he doesn't press the question further. Luckily, at that moment, the beer is placed on their table.
perks up and goes for the glass, taking a few gulps. Oh, sweet bliss....
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:25:17.000Z
does the same. It really was a great drink.
sighs. "And the food will be awesome."
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:31:20.000Z
laughs. "Yes, it will. I'm not in the mood to eat anything bad anyway."
can't wait. Fooood~ "I don't think they know how to serve bad food at this place."
Ludwig
hopes 2013-11-19T16:34:41.000Z
not or else he'd be greatly disappointed. "Good, that would be unfortunate." And as if Gilbert had summoned it, the food was brought over to them.
perks up, wiggling in his seat. "Danke, danke, ohhh this smells great."
Ludwig
is 2013-11-19T16:37:50.000Z
glancing at his own food, he hadn't realised how hungry he was too. "Guten Appetite!"
raises his beer. "Guten Appetite!" and then promptly digs in.
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:48:55.000Z
digs in as well occasionally stopping to sip at his beer. He was glad they came out to eat.
Gilbert
is 2013-11-19T16:49:32.000Z
really glad as well.
Ludwig
2013-11-19T16:50:38.000Z
orders them another round of beers.
Gilbert
loves 2013-11-19T16:52:55.000Z
his brother so so much.
Ludwig
gives 2013-11-19T16:53:36.000Z
him a small smile as he raises the second beer.
grins back, raising his as well. "To hopefully spending more time together?"
Ludwig
2013-11-19T22:31:31.000Z
clinks his glass to Gilbert's. "Prost~" He would definitely hope for that.
drinks happily, wiggling only slightly in his seat.
Ludwig
2013-11-20T04:05:31.000Z
takes a good drink out of it before leaning back in his chair satisfied. "Did you want to do something together after dinner?"
perks up at that. "Jaaa, but you get to pick this time. It was my idea for dinner."
Ludwig
2013-11-20T04:35:59.000Z
nods at this as he thinks it through while enjoying his beer of course. "We can go to the outdoor viewing of the Germany vs Italy football match?"
grins at that. "Aw, that sounds great! I mean, I might feel very...mild guilt. That Italy is so small and cute, right? But we'd totally demolish them."
Ludwig
2013-11-20T04:41:36.000Z
laughs. "That's what I'm hoping for." He was very competitive.
grins. "Well jaa, but you know how their team plays? You steal the ball, and they go down with a head injury."
Ludwig
2013-11-20T04:50:15.000Z
nods at that. "But we have a younger and more skilled team. The Italian's need to find more skill before their team needs wheelchairs and crutches."
siiighs. "If only they could fake less injuries. But ja you're right."
Ludwig
2013-11-20T04:58:24.000Z
nods again. "They are better than before."
Gilbert
wonders 2013-11-20T16:26:27.000Z
about that. "They have nice asses, I'll give them that."
Ludwig
2013-11-20T22:01:49.000Z
shakes his head at his brother. "Of course they do."
Ludwig
2013-11-21T23:53:40.000Z
nods his head as if he believed that. "Ja, ja, ja."
Ludwig
2013-11-23T04:14:47.000Z
quirks a brow. "Ready to go? We need to dress up in our colours."
cheers. "Jaaa! Okay, it'll be fun. I can't wait. Go Deutschland!"
Ludwig
2013-12-02T01:14:19.000Z
smiles at that as he pays and they both head out to go back home. It was going to be busy!
Gilbert
is 2013-12-02T04:34:14.000Z
already planning in his head. He's pretty sure he's got their jerseys from the world cup still...
Ludwig
2013-12-02T04:37:29.000Z
would be shocked if he didn't. He unlocks the door to their house and ushers Gilbert in first. "Ten minutes and be back in the front. We have to drive into Frankfurt."
bolts up the stairs, running into his room and tearing up the room for his clothes.
Ludwig
2013-12-02T05:26:37.000Z
isn't so reckless and heads upstairs to change apply the face paint and then comes back downstairs with time to spare.
comes downstairs all changed up in their old uniform, and tosses West's jersey at him. "Where'd you put the paint?"
Ludwig
2013-12-02T05:33:30.000Z
tosses it over to him as he catches his own jersey and changes into it. "I had it in my room."
catches the paint, heading down and slipping into the bathroom to use the mirror. "Oh...I don't even understand how you have so much stuff, and yet it's so organized. I mean I am too, but you're just...you _
Ludwig
2013-12-02T06:20:34.000Z
laughs. "Well, it was both your and Roderich's influence. I might be a little more anal retentive that's all."
grins at that. "You can blame Roddy for that part."
Ludwig
2013-12-02T23:25:47.000Z
laughs again. "Ja, sure. We can go with that. Don't let him hear you say that."
cackles. "What's he going to do? Scowl and withhold desserts?"
Ludwig
2013-12-03T00:14:10.000Z
smiles at that. "I wouldn't put it past him to try."
shakes his head, still grinning. "Aw, I miss him." It was understandable, they had a very...very very long history together. "But he still has a stick up his ass."
Ludwig
2013-12-03T00:32:52.000Z
laughs a bit at that. "I hear he's back." He hums.
perks up at that. "Really? I mean...I haven't seen him in forever, so I figured he was...I dunno. Locking himself up in his house to avoid spending money or something..."
Ludwig
2013-12-03T00:41:21.000Z
's lip curves up at that. "He's complained to me that you haven't been answering his calls."
blinks at that. "What? He hasn't been calling me! I'd know if he was calling me, I'd have showed up at his house!"
Ludwig
2013-12-03T00:45:20.000Z
shrugs. "That's what he said."
huffs. "Well now I actually have to go over there..."
Ludwig
2013-12-03T01:33:27.000Z
nods at that. "You might get a scolding."
siiiiighs. "What else is new, right?"
Ludwig
2013-12-04T00:52:34.000Z
cracks a smile. "True, I've already had to apologize."
groans. "Aw, West. You don't need to apologize for me. I think we've known each other long enough, that Roddy knows what I'm like."
Ludwig
2013-12-04T01:02:29.000Z
shakes his head. "Not for you, for me. I offended him a few days ago."
's eyebrows shoot up at that. "What? How did you manage to do that?" He's...in shock, really. It's not like West to say anything offensive, and even if he did...well, Roderich was Roderich. They'd all grown up_
_together, and he figured Roderich would just brush it off.
Ludwig
2013-12-04T03:37:35.000Z
shrugs. "We never see eye to eye anyway. I'm not at all surprised."
watches him carefully. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"
Ludwig
2013-12-04T04:14:31.000Z
doesn't think it's that important. "He's to sensitive and I'm not sensitive enough."
nods. "Ja..ja. Well...Roddy's kind of a baby, you know? Gets pissed over everything, s'why we fight all the time." Probably why it never worked between them for too long. "Don't worry about it, okay? _
_He'll forget about the whole thing soon, and everything will go back to normal."
Ludwig
2013-12-05T00:53:50.000Z
smiles lightly. "I'm not worried. It's just irritating if anything." ((Happy Birthday Alicia.))
Gilbert
thinks 2013-12-05T20:18:11.000Z
Roddy can be more than irritating sometimes. "Then let's go vent that frustration?"
Ludwig
2013-12-05T22:29:09.000Z
nods as he reaches for the door. "With beer and a good match!"
cheers, heading out to the car. "We're going to kick so much ass."
Ludwig
2013-12-09T02:38:48.000Z
laughs at the enthusiasm as he unlocks the door and slides into the drivers seat.
immediately turns on the radio, flicking the dial until he heard metal. Sweeet.
Ludwig
2013-12-09T02:46:17.000Z
's lip curves up as he speeds onto the autobahn. They would be there soon.
grins when he sees that smile. They were going to kick soooo much ass. "Think we'll win world cup this year?"
Ludwig
2013-12-09T03:00:11.000Z
doesn't have to think about that. "We better." He drives into Berlin.
siiighs. "I can't believe Antonio beat us last time."
Ludwig
2013-12-09T03:15:03.000Z
would rather not remember that. "This time will be different. We trained hard. I'm confident in our players."
nods "Ja, we're totally taking home the cup."
Ludwig
2013-12-09T03:25:07.000Z
Grins. "I'm not settling for less."
won't either. "I should start a betting pot now."
Ludwig
2013-12-20T15:22:11.000Z
thinks he should. "I don't condone gambling but I would put some money in."
rolls his eyes. "How do you not condone gambling? But if there was ever a reason to start, it would be this one. We're definitely going to kick all the ass."
Ludwig
2013-12-20T23:25:54.000Z
's lips thin. "Because it's losing money for no particular reason."
Gilbert
thinks 2013-12-22T02:12:39.000Z
he's silly. "What? It's putting in a little money, to win a whole lot more!"
Ludwig
2013-12-22T02:14:56.000Z
quirks a brow at him. "How many times have you won more money than you've put in."
Ludwig
2013-12-22T02:42:13.000Z
gives him a knowing look. "That's why."
huffsss "I win sometimes!"
Ludwig
2013-12-22T02:48:44.000Z
's lips thin. "Barely enough to justify doing it often." He finds a good parking spot getting out.
slips out as well. "Enough to justify..stuff..." He's really bad at arguing against West, Gott...
Ludwig
2013-12-22T02:57:43.000Z
knows this but let's Gil argue with him anyway. "Let's forget that and enjoy the game."
Ludwig
2013-12-22T03:04:03.000Z
smiles at that as he leads him to the big screens and the large crowd.
Gilbert
is 2013-12-22T03:16:35.000Z
bouncing happily, quickly getting caught up in the atmosphere.
Ludwig
2013-12-22T06:10:50.000Z
had got them both some beers as the match starts. They got there just in time.
Gilbert
is 2013-12-29T20:46:52.000Z
already cheering, and yelling out...advice. He would stick with that word.
Ludwig
2013-12-29T22:33:36.000Z
is working on his beer and doing the same thing as Gilbert....yelling advice.
swears under his breath then a shot is missed.
Ludwig
2014-01-01T04:37:44.000Z
is not happy that they are tied and the game is almost over. He needs more beer.
Gilbert
is 2014-01-03T01:41:29.000Z
screaming at the team, jumping up and down and calling out obscenities.
