Hallelujah

Note:
I was bored.
I heard a song.
It reminded me of them.
So here goes nothing.
This probably looks better in my head than it will in words.

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

 

Austria sat at his piano, hands flying absently over the keys. The piece he was trying to finish seemed to have different plans. He couldn't focus on the keys, his mind kept drifting to ... A certain albino man... He remembered the times when his Gilbert would accompany him on the flute, how they'd sing together... And dance in empty ballrooms, pressed close to each other.

 

Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

 

Austria looked out the window, spotting his dearest, hurriedly giving out commands to two human subordinates. Gilbert stood in full uniform, looking glorious under the dazzling sun... His younger brother, considered the new more powerful one, joined him, but in Rodreich's eyes, no one could best Prussia. The empire that fell once, but had risen again...

Gilbert suddenly looked up at the window, and their eyes met... And his gaze was distant...

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Austria tried his best, he gave the love of his life his all. Even if that meant the risk of losing his life, it all seemed worth to him... But not to Prussia. To him, Austria was just a weakling... A sentimental fool... And Austria could only pray that his fears truly were ramblings of a fool...

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Austria sat by himself, and played alone. He played the keys to the songs they had sung together once upon a time. He could play those songs with his eyes closed, but they did not sound the same without the flute... And the way things seemed, he feared he would never hear the flute again...

 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

 

Austria watched from the corner of the room as Gilbert stood busily talking to a woman... He later found out it was Ivanya... Gilbert seemed to be happy in her company... He could see the glimmer in the man's fiery eyes... The same glimmer that once was there only for him. Not anymore, though. Now all they seemed to have was a forced military pact. His true companion now was Russia ... The cold nation that sent shivers down Roderich's spine... But when he brought this up, he was pushed away and called an ambitionless fool.
