The Lost Prince

The Big Boys Show Off

Feliciano, Lovino, and Matthew were all leaned against a wooden fence. They were watching as the three bigger males dressed in armour. Not just any armour either. The armours from their countries. Gil had them all shipped to them to be able to teach the twins different fighting styles. Well, that's what Ludwig had hoped. Antonio and Gilbert really only wanted to show off. Antonio swung around a beautiful rapier testing it's balance. While both Ludi and Gil held their longs swords over their shoulders.

"Are you done swinging that thing around?!" Lovino snapped to Antonio.

Antonio stopped and slid the rapier back into its shieth. He turned to Lovino and waved happily. Lovino rolled his eyes and sighed resting his cheek on his hand. Gilbert took his two handed sword off his shoulder but he held it with one hand trotting up to Antonio.

"Are you ready bozo." Gilbert smiled.

"This is some sword you found." Antonio admired.

"Straight from the king of Spain... A gift I may add.... Buuuut since I'm so awesome I'll let you have it."

The Spaniards eyes opened wide to reveal a sea of green.

"No, I couldn't Gil!"

"If you beat me with it that is." Gilbert cocked.

"Oho, challenging your madjesty? That sounded like a big if."

"Well isn't it a big if?"

Gil turned to see Mattie who looked a bit worried. Not for Gilbert of course, Matthew taught him everything he knows. But for Gilbert to challenge him like this? Then Gilbert winked and Matthew sighed realizing his intensions.

"Well tiny man, show me what you've got!" Gilbert yelled.

"Well, then let's begin." Antonio smiled.

Gilbert walked up and they begun to circle. Gil took a foot forward swiping the heavy sword down but their fighting styles were to different. Antonio swiftly moved aside and slipped the sword with a flick of the wrist. Gilbert was able to just bring out his sword and a heavy clang sung in the field. So it went on.

Now in Gilbert's training, as you may or may not recall. Matthew had taught Gilbert speed because he was to slow.

The fight went on. Gilbert heaved his heavy sword side to side but the young spaniard who had been taught the grace of fencing was much to fast. If he were to be hit once by the big Prussian king he would most likely fall. So he avoided every swing. Finally Gilbert gave him an opening. He swiped the back of the sword down and behind Gil's knee. Gilbert fell to the floor and Antonio brought out the sword pointing it to Gil's neck. Gil put his hands up.

"Alright, you win." Gil said.

Matthew smiled widely and Lovino looked up cocking a brow in confusion.

"I'm out, I need a break." Antonio said walking to the fence.

"Alright, come on Ludi." Gil beckoned.

"Are you sure you can go for round two?" Ludwig asked.

"Yeah I'm fine!" Gil barked. "Now come on Bro!"

"Will he really be alright?" Antonio asked Matthew.

"He has the stamina of a wolf." Matthew compaired.

"You would know." Lovino said looking up with a snicker.

Matthew was confused for a second then it hit him. His face became bright red and he said nothing but looked back at Gil and Ludwig.

Gilbert was now more alive, not ready to lose. He smirked a devilish smirk and Ludwig grew serious. Ludwig could see in the way he had changed that he had taken it easy on Antonio and he wasn't about to misjudge him now.

Ludwig stepped foreword and they stood face to face. They stared at one another with fierce eyes. One with the intensity of the raging see while the other the cruel sting of shimmering pool of blood red wine. The two begun. Gilbert threw down his sword swiftly but Ludwig lifted his upwards smashing them together with a bellowing Klang. Ludwig stepped back heaving the sword from the side. However Gilbert held the other sword vertical with a hand keeping it steady on the flat side. Ludwig became confused for he had never seen someone do something that strange. His very subtle confusion left him open to an armoured gauntlet to the abdomen. He stumbled back and saw the reckless king jump in the air swinging the sword down. Ludwig held his up and it klanged before he used his sword to push Gil's aside. With an open chest Ludwig brought up a leg ready to Sparta kick his brother but Gilbert was quick he move to the side just as the foot came down. He took the flat side of his sword and tapped under Ludwig's leg. Ludwig looked confused and as he put his leg down he was startled as he was forced on one knee. Gilbert swiped his sword but Ludwig stubbornly hit it aside. He heaved himself up. His leg started feeling awkward but he limped on.

"Oh, feeling lucky Ludi?" Gil smirked.

"As lucky as I'll ever be."

Ludwig swung to the side and Gil blocked. The Prussian king backed up and purposely hit Ludwig's sword as hard as he could. The sword vibrated and tingled Ludwig's hand. He losses his grip to adjust but as he did Gilbert smacked the sword again and it flew from Ludwig's hand. Ludwig looked swiftly back at Gilbert and his brows furrowed in frustration. He then jumped at Gil and the two Germans tumbled to the ground. Gilbert lost his sword and he struggled as Ludwig tried to pin him down.

"When did... This become... A wrestling match." Gil breathed heavily.

"When you.... left me, weapon less!" Ludwig struggled.

Gilbert bared his teeth and with all his might he head butted Ludwig hard. Ludwig winced but he stayed sturdy.

"You're like a brick!" Gilbert complimented.

"Give up?"

Gilbert opened his mouth to say fine. However he caught a glimpse of Ludwig's chest and saw it heaving. Ludwig was using all his strength thinking Gil would give in. Unlucky for him Gil saw his weakness and he still had lots of stamina.

"Never!" Gilbert shouted.

He lifted his knee into Ludwig's stif abdomen again. The pain rushed to Ludwig's spine and he coughed before losing his grip on Gilbert. The king rolled his brother off and he stood up swiftly grabbing his sword and walking over to the exhausted German. He stood on his Chest but didn't apply any pressure.

"Give up?"

Ludwig sighed and lifted his hands in defeat.

Feliciano Antonio and Matthew clapped fiercely for the performance.

Gilbert walked up to Matthew and rested himself on the fence.

"What yah think of that!" He cocked.

"It was good Gil! I thought Ludwig had you for a second."

Gilbert looked at Ludwig who was getting excited hugs and praises from Feliciano.

"I thought he had me as well to be honest.... But in the end I won!"

"Are you three done showing off?" Lovino grumbled. "I'm hungry!"

They all begun to laugh and Lovino stared at them confused and frustrated.

"Alright let's go get some snacks." Antonio said petting Lovinos hair.

Lovino grumbled but they all got up and made their way back inside.
