Hetalia - Germany left for War
You came to the train station every day, you'd sit there in the rain awaiting a train that would never come or a train that would not have Ludwig in it, you didn't care for any other train and hoped for the day you'd hear his heavy shoes and raspy laughter beside you once again so that you could melt into his hugs and cry in joy.
Sometimes youd bring along Blitz or Pepper, they would lay on the ground beside your feet and wait for their owner to return, sometimes little children would run out of a train and begin to laugh hapily at the sight of a dog and would scratch them behind the ears before a apologetic parent would pick them up or drag them away and leave you to wait alone.
One day you came to the train station late and picked up the pace, dashing up the steps before turning the corner and spotting a dash of white hair and a tall silhouette, something tucked under their shoulder. You held your hands over your mouth before breathing deeply and calling out "Gilbert, is that you?" They turned around and looked at you, they were beginning to grow a bit of a beard on their face and their features were outlined in scars; his eyes still warm and welcoming yet much sadder .
"Frau?" He slowly begun to walk over to you but you dashed forwards to give him a hug, he did not wrap his hands back around you; it felt so cold and wrong you wanted to puke.
You looked up at him and he stared back at you in sadness, you let go of him and he corrected his trench-coat before handing you a gun that he had in his hand; the one that was previously tucked under his shoulder.
Ingrained on it was "Auf Wiedersehen" and you took it from him slowly, staring down at the charred wood grip and sleek metal before shoving the gun back into his chest and storming away.
You opened the door to the house, you sat against the door with the dogs cuddled into your shoulders; awaiting your War Hero.
