On the EU receiving the Nobel Prize for Peace. Also: Greece...

[potatomasher]

Danke. It's the result of our hard work and effort, ja. True enough everyone needs to keep up working hard to ensure that the EU will remain successful, but I am positive that we can do this. And, no. I don't think we should give up on Greece just yet. Even if he's been less than grateful recently and, yes. That. I... May have to exchange a few words with him later. Apparently he has a lot of energy that he could be putting to better use. We all need to cooperate and support one another for this cause or verything we worked so hard on building over the past decades may be at risk at one point. The EU is, after all, a project to maintain peace on this continent.

Now let's get back to work.

[work? You're funny, talking about Work when HEEEE'S here!!]

YO!!! WEST!!! [CLAPS HARD ON THE BACK!!]


Congrats on the prize!!! As expected from the cool me's hardworking little bro!! Good job!!!

[ruffles his hair!! pausing to look his brother over. Tugs on his jacket]

But, oi, what's with the boring get up?! Something big happened, time to celebrate!! Party, West!! Par!! ty!! Beer time!! [moves to untie his tie!! Personal space is not something he has a concept of]

[potatomasher]

[But of course he's talking about work. Without it this wouldn't even have happened after all!]

Ah, brother.

[And he's actually about to thank him for the congratulations BUUUT that's just when Prussia decides to mess up his hair and, hey. Nothing wrong with his clothes and-- Eh... Would you keep those hands to yourself?!]

Brother! Stop that, please! [Yes, still being patient with you here.] A- a little bit of celebrating once the paperwork is done may be okay, ja. But don't overdo it. Bitte.

[dererste]

Atta boy!! Celebrating is important to reward yourself!! Otherwise, stuff lke that stops being special and you turn into an unfeeling work robot!! If West loses the light in his eyes or whatever, it'll be bad for everyone!! [TOTALLY IGNORES. JUST SSSH AND STAY STILL WHILE HE MAKES YOU LOOK COOL]


Kesesese, what's this? You're warning me not to go overboard?! YOU don't overdo it, drunkard! The cool me knows how my limits from head to toe!!! [Nope, he's confiscating your tie, and wrapping around his own neck loosely, and while he's at it, unbuttons your suit jacket so it's open, and undoes your shirt buttons so they show juuustt a peek of chest. Checks for the iron cross necklace, and when he finds it, pulls it out]

Glasses!! [shoves his hands inside your pockets!!]

[potatomasher]

H-hey! I said stop it!

[Hi, unsuccessful attempts to fend you off. Geeez, Prussia. Why do you always have to be so pushy! He likes that tie and his jacket closed and would you leave his shirt alo-- No? Oh well. Just don't mind him trying to step away but ARGH!! Don't strangle him with his own necklace!]

Are you done already, brother?!

[Just a brief gasp for breath, thank you. Ah. Wait. Your hands? His pockets? Oh, no. He'll just use his hands now to grab your wrists just while you're searching his pockets aaaand... Yes. That glare is for you.]

It's enough! You don't have to descend on me like that!

[dererste]

[DON'T MOVE and you won't risk your life!!]

WEEEEEESSSTTTTT!!! [Pocket searching attempt thwarted!! Whines!! Tries to shake your hand off his!! Tsks under his breath, giving your stupid glare a pout in response]

Tch, saying "descend" makes it sound bad!! I'm helping, be grateful! You should be flooding the considerate me with gratitude not whining, geesh! Listen up, you gotta start dressing your age so you look cool in front of the other EU members when you're partying later!! Now!! Glasses!! C'mon!! [HAS ANOTHER FREE ARM. Inches towards your other pocket!!]

[potatomasher]

[BUT IF HE DOESN'T MOVE HE'LL BE AT YOUR MERCY UNTIL YOU'RE DONE!!]

H-how is making me look messier dressing my age, brother?!

[Just admit that you're growing extra arms and hands as soon as he has trapped one of them. That would explain SO MUCH!]

You're being impossible as usual! Of course this is a reason for some celebrating, but I don't intend on doing any excessive partying.

[He actually dares to make an attempt of getting his tie back. As a hint: He keeps his glasses in the inside pocket of his jacket as usual. But you surely have the contents of his pockets mapped out by now anyway since each piece has their assigned location since... Well. Ever.]

[dererste]

[BUT AT LEAST HE'LL BE ALIVE]

Messier?!! Keh!! West's really an old man!! You're embarrassing me!! Haven't you heard of Hipsters?!! Damn it, being a little disheveled isn't messy, it's cool!! It's fresh!! Hip!! Young!! [If he admitted it, he would have to kill you and he likes having you around!!]

You're the one being impossible!! If German blood truly flows through your veins, then celebrating and partying goes hand in hand!! [Prussia only knows and cares about where he keeps his wallet, which is what he came herreeee for~ Search search]

Ach--!! [eyes darting to meet yours as you touch that tie, DISAPPROVING LOOK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOUNG SIR.]

Stealing from your big brother now, huh, West?! Kesesesese!! Take it and lose 40 euro!!!

[potatomasher]

It's childish and immature! I can't afford loosing the respect and trust from everyone after spending years in order to gain it!

[But, look, he lets go of his tie. Instead, he, again, removes your hand from his pocket. If you truly know where he keeps his wallet, then you're a tad bit off-course, dearest brother of his.]

Everything within reason, brother! Now will you please stop, okay? Just where do you want to go anyway?

[He says within reason now. But don't we all know that he will change that stance after his first beer anyway? Well? Let's not mention that.]

[dererste]

You're losing trust and respect looking like a stiff!! [He gives up, letting you remove his hand. He may be off course now, but he won't make the same mistake tomorrow!!]

Alright, alright, I'm done!! If West doesn't want advice from his wise just like a barn owl big brother, then fine!! From here on, go through life being an awkward nerd in every decade!! [brightens up!! ARE YOU AGREEING TO A PAR-TAY.]

...Though, both ways, maybe West's face is handsome enough to excuse his fashion blunders!! Kesesese!! I, who today craves to be around YOUNG people, wants to go a bar close to an university!! [oddly specific there, Gilbert. SINCE TELLING YOU THINGS DOESN'T WORK, HE'LL JUST /SHOW/ YOU.]

[potatomasher]

[Tomorrow?! No. Wait. There won't be a tomorrow with this!

Anyhow. Have a frown at your words. Because, sure. Everyone trusts and respects you, right, Prussia? The frown lasts exactly until you mention the univertity. At that point he actually looks slightly confused. Right next to mildly intrigued.]

Oh? How unusual.

[There will be many intelligent young people around, right? Of the kind that you can actually have an intelligent conversation with! Germany can agree with that idea and responds with a nod.]

That may be an interesting change. It may be good to learn how the next generation of our people is turning out.

[dererste]

[....

....

....squishes your face because he knows what you're thinking behind that frown! PEOPLE RESPECT HIM!!11!! You had better respect him still!!!]

Alright then, it's agreed!!! One condition though, West has to let his cool and hip older brother dress him from head to toe!!!

Super phone-tagging from work /GO!

[potatomasher]

[Well. No need to worry about your brother, he still respects you. He's known you a his life after all and has seen more sides of you than simply your annoying one. Though it's more your skills and knowledge he respects and less your attitude. Or... The way you dress. So enjoy his next grimace. But after a moment of hesitation, he nods.]

Fine. But if it looks ridiculous or embarrassing I won't wear it.

/o/ Super incredible tagging in between studying /GO!!

[dererste]

[Aww, good. Because if you didn't, he'd have to do something drastic. And maybe dangerous. Flaps your earlobes back and forth as fast as he can!! Is he annoying you, yet?]

Ridiculous or embarrassing in WHOSE opinion?! West's judgment is flawed!! K-keh!! Is this the sound of my only little brother doubting my ability?!! I'm hurt!! I'm really hurt!! In that case, we'll send the Italy brothers pics and let them decide!!

Ehehe. Best thing to do.

[potatomasher]

[Well, yes. That's actually annoying. But he's refraining from hitting you. Be amazed with his patience.

It lasts until you mention the Italics and by that point he quickly grabs your wrist again, an alarmed look on his face.]

Nein! You will not send them any pictures!

[At least while he's sober.]

aint it? /regrets nothing

[dererste]

[You make him more and more proud everyday. Grinning really hard as you grab his wrist. Pinch pinch your fat ears. He came here just to hassle you and distract you from your work.]

Kessesesesese!!! If the jury's dismissed, then guess that means any complaints West has after I dress him, he'll keep to himself!!!

You shouldn't. Pff. But, darn, Prussia, you're such a troll XP

[potatomasher]

[Distraction: Successful. Now better leave his elephant ears alone before he breaks your wrists. He is already grinding his teeth together after all.]

Ah, very well. Just let's get going already.

[Because hopefully you will take your hands out of his face then.]

I apologize for him, He has nothing better to do these days!!

[dererste]

[PAUSES like he's not sure whether he should push you past boiling point with his hands so close to your teeth...hmm..yeah okay hands off]


Right!! Piggy back ride, West!! Piggy back!!! Let's go in true celebratory style!!

Never apologize for the awewome him! His brother needs his sort of crazy or he'd overwork himself...

[potatomasher]

W-WAS?! Nein!

[Okay. Taking off your hands was a smart move because if he still would have you wrist in his hand, he may have twisted it by now.]

I'm not carrying you anywhere!! That's nothing to do with celebrating at all!

Maybe he should start marketing prussia as an anti-stress device, it'll boost the economy!!

[dererste]

-!! [SHOCKED FACE LIKE HE SERIOUSLY CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU JUST DENIED HIM. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT BEFOOORREEEE. DON'T YOU LOVE HIM?! YOU ARE GETTING REALLY COLD TO HIM LATELY, WHERE DID HE GO WRONG WITH YOU. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE LITTLE BROTHER AND HE IS GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE ONE]

PIIIGGGYYYYY BAAAAACCCKKKKKK, WEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSTTT!! FINE, FORGET CELEBRATING!! YOU OWE ME FOR ALL THE TIMES I GAVE YOU ONE AS A KID!! PIGGY BACK!!!!!

WEEEEEEEEEESSTT!! PIGGY!! BACK!! PIG!! GY!! BA!! CK!!!

It'll be fun! [For him and maybe you if you just relax and enjoy it!!]

lol - As if Germany isn't already an economic force. But he wouldn't complain either I guess X)

[potatomasher]

Wha--!!

[Darn it, Prussia, ACT YOUR AGE!! Now he's totally backing away a step, surprised by the sudden outburst.]

B-BROTHER, bitte! This is- Nein, I mean...

[See this face? He has absolutely no idea how to deal with this situation. Yes, Prussia is acting like a child, but that's nothing new. The question is rather: How much violence is appropriate in this case? Or is violence even appropriate at all right now?]

Please, calm down and let's be reasonable! W-we can talk about this like adults, so, please!

[dererste]

[ACTING YOUR AGE GETS YOU NOWHERE IN LIIIFEEEE. This is the norm for him. He'll whine until you give in just like he did for you to count sheep for him. HE'LL TAKE VIOLENCE TOO BUT IT'LL BECOME A WRESTLE FOR DOMINANCE OVER YOUR OWN BACK, ENGAGE ONLY IF VICTORY IS CERTAIN.]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSTT, PIGGY BACK1!! PIIGGGYYY!! BACK!!! PIIGGYYY BACCKKK!!! C'mon!! Being adult about everything is stupid!! Just this once and never again!! DO IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!! [NEVERMIND THAT IT'S only october!!]

And this moron will leave for bed now. G'night.

[potatomasher]

[And that's the point. They're quite evenly matched and thus victory is never certain. Especially when you're already this upset. And loosing in such a moment usually ends up being even more humiliating.

Grimacing, Germany takes another step back and exhales sharply between grit teeth, raising his hands in defeat.]

F-fine. FINE! I'll carry you!! But only as long as no one sees!

The only moron here is Gil u3u <3 Goodnight!!

[dererste]

[For how "upset" he is, he seems to get over it super quickly once you agree]


KESESESESE!! VICTORY!!!! That's the too sweet West I know!! Heheheheh!!! [skiptrots behind you and pats your back]

Bend!!! Since I'm merciful and know my hardworking little bro is tired: carry me half way, and I'll return the favor for the rest of the way!!

At least he's a moron with style.

[potatomasher]

Ah, you don't need to do that. I'm fine.

[And taller than you. And heavier. And this would be far too embarrassing.

He sighs, pondering just how he's gotten into this again but still crouches down to meet your demand.]

Just tell me where exactly you want to go.

[Using his brother as navigation system? Well. Why not?]

99% of style is asserting you are right even when you're wrong!!

[dererste]

[Are you doubting him? Someone has to get your drunk ass home safely when you drink, and it's usually him!!!]


Kesesese!! [hops on then!! and god, that was a bad idea. He's in full messing-with-my-little-brother-is-too-much-fun mode!]


North Pole!!!
