"Seems" by WAAILS

She closed her green eyes after looking at her husband. It seemed more and more that this arrangement was simply for his protection. That red eyed menace had a tendency to attack when he was at his most vulnerable.

He had barely touched her once during their long marriage, and that was simply because he had to consummate it to bind them in the sight of their religion. But she saw how he looked at him- Prussia. She didn't notice that the albino had that same look in his eyes; the look of sheer admiration, of desire. And now it was over.

"Damn it, Roderich. Please."

His amethyst eyes looked up at her in confusion, seeing the tears welling up. She was always a strong woman, someone who he felt that he could count on. "Was ist los?" His voice was soft, as he spoke the soft German words.

"I know you are in love with that jerk." She said it point blank. She knew how easy it was to fall for the carefree charm. He was her first friend after all and her first crush. But she loved Austria, and she could tell he wasn't in love with her. For all these centuries their marriage was a lie, and no one knew. Not even Italy or Germany.

"Was? Nein!" He denied it even as his heart pounded. He knew who he meant, and deep down he really did. He had to keep up the façade.

"You do, a woman knows, Roddy!" Her lower lip trembled. "I've seen how you look at him!"

He looked away slightly. "Tut mir leid, Elizaveta…"

She bit her lip. "I know. I'm going to leave tomorrow…" She looked down and took a deep breath. "They ruled that we can't be togehter and since you don't love me maybe it's for the better…"

"Eliza, I do care for you."He argued.

"It's fine, Roderich, just please, for tonight, kiss me, hold me close, and lie to me."

AN: This is the least depressing unless you ship AusHun but it's really short.

So because I used so much German Translations:

"Was ist Los?"= What's wrong"

"Was? Nein!"= What? No!

"Tut mir leid."= I'm sorry.
