-In love?- R.e x G.e

15.

R.e {Pov}

"You're not in love?" My son asks us both.

My face reddens as I start to think about it.

Was I in love with him? I was, wasn't I?
Why didn't I notice earlier!? I did notice I just ignored it, oh my God.
What does want my son want?

I kept questioning myself until my head started to hurt.
German empire seemed to have noticed that because the next thing he says is a question, directed to me.

"Are you okay?" He asks me.

I try to play it off, by giving him a confused look.
"Yes? Why wouldn't I be?" I ask him, he looks into my eyes and then answers.

"Nothing." He answers me, which makes me confused, what? What does he mean by 'what'? That isn't an answer I wanted to hear, that isn't even near the question theme! What the hell?

"What!?" I raise my voice. "What do you mean?!"

"What?" He looks at me with a surprised face.

"You are thinking about something! Stop!" I yell at him.

His cheeks become a pinkish color.

"I had enough of your-" I cut myself off.

"Kisses?" My son asks us both.

I stare at him with wide eyes, that would show no mercy to kill him, but I couldn't do it, that would ruin my reputation.

"No! I don't kiss him!" I yell back.

"You do." He says.

"He does, I don't!" I quickly answer.

"I don't care, but-" he makes a pause "do you want to save your reputation or not?"

"Of co-" I get cut off by a hand being placed against my mouth.

German empire.

I try to shout, but you could barely make anything out, because of the hand that was muffling my words.

"Ohhh," my son realizes something, "you don't want my father to save his reputation?" he says, but then adds.
"-wait no, you don't want my father to do anything so he would save his reputation."

"You're scared!" my son says with a raised voice, "You're scared that I will kill him or something!"

I turn my head to look at the german empire.
I find him, standing, his hand on my mouth, with wide eyes.

"That's funny, aren't you two like enemies?" He asks us, and I immediately try to answer him, but he couldn't understand anything I said.

I guess we aren't enemies anymore because we got this close- in a day.
But what does he think of me?
Did I think of him like that for a long time? I ignored my feelings and said it was anger because we were enemies.
But that wasn't the truth, the truth was, that I was just in love with him.

Why do I have to realize everything now!?

The german empire finally let's go of my mouth.
So I could answer?

"We were," I answer him, "now, what do I need to do?" I ask him

He looks at both of us and then answers.

"At this point, you can get married," he says, ignoring my question.

Which makes me very confused, and flustered.

"...What?.." I silently ask.

"I said-" he starts, but I cut him off. "-I know what you said," I tell him, "do you have no manners?" I ask him.

"Father, I don't think manners or not should matter to you." he makes a pause "I can ruin your career with a sentence, which I am gonna do. Do you understand that?" he asks me

"Son, I understand everything, why did you say we should get married?" I coldly ask him.

"Why? You too are blind! That's why!" he yells, and makes a pause for a second or two, then continues "You two are clearly in love! I am gonna leave you two alone in this awareness" he yelled at us and left.

I turn to look at the German empire, with my blushing face.

"Are you in love with me?" I ask him.

He immediately blushes.
"Are you!?" he asks me, which makes me wonder for a while, do I say the truth? Or do I lie? I kept thinking about it not noticing, the time that has passed.

"So?" The German empire asks me.

"Yes, I do." I blurt out.

His eyes went wide, very wide.
"What do you mean?" He asks me confused.

I don't answer him, because my mind was thinking about what I just said.

"..what do you mean?" He asks more quietly than he has ever been.

"I mean what I said!" I yell at him "I am in love with you."

"What? You must be lying." He answers me. "There is no way, you can love me!"

"There is because I am in love with you," I say to him.
