Vash opened his eyes and instantly began coughing. He also hugged himself since he had gotten really cold so he stood up to get a blanket. He shouldn't have stood up so fast because he stumbled and fell to the floor.

"Big brother?!" Lilly asked worriedly when she came down the stairs lured by those weird sounds. "Are you okay?!" She asked again now trying to pull him back on his feet. With the help of the tiny nation Vash finally made it but immediately had to sneeze so he separated himself from his sister. "Shouldn't you be packing, Lilly? Didn't you win a week in an amusement park together with Wy and Latvia?" Vash asked this time coughing to clear his throat. The girl shook her head "Brother.... I can't leave you like this...." she mumbled but the Swiss just put a hand on her head.

"Don't worry. It's just a cold and I'm fine. Now go and pack your stuff so you don't miss the bus, oui? I know that you were really excited so go and enjoy yourself."

Lilly looked at him still kinda worried but then hugged him mumbling a "thank you" before going back upstairs and starting to pack. Vash yawned before sneezing again and walking to the kitchen where he made himself a coffee. His clothes were pretty dry so he decided to just leave them on for that day. Besides going to the store and buying some medicine he wouldn't do much either way. He sure felt a little better after having cried so much and he had slept at least twice as much as usually. But he didn't allow himself to think about the Austrian again. The green eyed man took a sip from his coffee and sat back on the couch to wait for his sister. The bus would arrive in a few minutes and luckily the bus station wasn't that far away.

Right when he had finished his coffee he heard heavy foot steps so he quickly got up and looked for his sister to help her with the luggage. Together they brought everything down and Vash was about to escort her but Lilly refused.

"Please just rest, please..... Ja?" She asked still looking at him concerned as she stroked his cheek. She then looked at the clock and kissed her brother's cheek before opening the door and leaving the house. Vash watched her leave like that and sighed once again. He didn't really know what he wanted to do but it was best to distract himself so he wouldn't....think about that too much. It got so quiet in the house that you could've heard a needle fall down and Vash sure wasn't used to it. He decided to go back to the kitchen where he put his empty cup of coffee in the washing machine when he noticed the nice smell. He looked around until he saw those perfectly baked muffins like he liked them the most. The Swiss couldn't hold back a soft smile as he took one of them. He truly loved his sister and should care more about her....instead of him. Yeah that's right! He just needed to ignore his own feelings and everything would be fine. He shook his head before he took a bite out of the pastry and smiled again. Love sure did heal. Even if it was only between sibling it made him feel better.

It was 11:30 when he had finally decided to go the store and grab some antibiotics since his cold had only gotten worse. After he had left the bus that had brought him to the store he stepped inside immediately going to the pharmacy. He didn't want to spend too much time there and only grab his things quickly so he asked a worker which one of the antibiotics was the cheapest.

The man in his work uniform looked at the Swiss confused since no one had ever asked him for the cheapest medicine but he didn't question it and only gave Vash the small package. "Go to the counter right around the corner and pay." The man said trying to focus on cleaning the floor again while Vash did as he said. He walked around the corner feeling hotter than before and got in line so he could pay and leave. He was waiting a few minutes now and feeling worse every second when suddenly someone got in line behind him. At first he didn't pay him a lot of attention but when a particular voice asked "Vash....?" He turned around only to see Roderich.
And behind the Austrian of course there had to be the Spaniard. The line had gotten shorter by now and it was almost his turn.

"What are you doing here...?" Roderich asked softly but Vash only gritted his teeth and threw the package of antibiotics on the floor before leaving the store. He stormed off and crossed the street making a run for the bus that was standing there. He didn't care where that bus brought him to but he couldn't face that Austrian now. He was just so ashamed to have cried in front of that man. He wouldn't do that again.

Meanwhile Roderich was paying the few things he and Antonio bought even though he was fully with the Swiss in his mind. He didn't look too good, right? Why did he have such a red and tired face....? A lot of questions like these crossed the Austrians mind and he couldn't concentrate at all even when they had finished with shopping and were walking outside of the shop.

"I knew you and Switzy had some problems but I didn't think it was that bad....." Antonio mumbled as he took Roderich's hand. The Austrian didn't respond but tightened his grip on the others hand. "Is he the reason why you are so tired?" The Spaniard asked and Austria quickly shook his head.

They both walked quietly to the car where Roderich got in to the drivers seat and Antonio to the seat next to him. The Spaniard couldn't help but worry about his fiancé since there were only a few days left until their marriage. He kept staring at the musician that was driving carefully along the road leading home and couldn't get that empty look out of his mind. What in the world happened to Roderich?
