A/N:
I SHOULD be working on Family Day... but I have absolutely no wish to. Sooooo...
Here's a PruCan.
ENJOY!
I always thought I would forever be invisible. I was unnoticed at meetings, I never dared to speak up. My twin, Alfred, would intimidate me without knowing it, and even though he tried to remember, I was always alone on my birthday. Even my bear, Kuma, would forget my name, though to be fair I could never remember the second part of his.
Then, one day, Germany brought his older brother to a meeting. He was rude, obnoxious, self-centered, and the complete opposite from his organized younger brother. His name was Prussia, and the first thing he did when he came in the room is look around and say: "Who wants to get the awesome me a chair? Blondie?" No one knew what he was talking about, but they turned to try to find who he had been looking at. For once in my life, the entire room was looking at me, all because of Gilbert.
He appeared to be a jerk at first, always refering to himself as 'awesome' and asking me for stuff. Then one day, after a meeting, he asked me to grab a drink with him. No one except my brother had ever done that, and Alfred hadn't done it since the 1960's. I was intregued and enthralled, all at the same time.
At the bar, we had beer and he asked me why no one looked at me during the meetings. When I explained my invisibility problem, he looked right in my eyes and told me: "I will never forget you."
And he kept his promise. Every week, after the meeting, he would ask to get drinks with me and we would talk, always on the same stools at the same bar. I learned that he knew what it was like to be forgotten; he was an ex-nation after all. He learned that I had once tried to kill myself. But killing an entire nation is not as easy as it seems. On that day, he took my face in his hands and he kissed me. When we broke apart, he said to me: "You will never feel that pain again. It is SO un-awesome."
He promised me that I would never feel that abandonment, that I would never be alone or forgotten, but he was wrong. Because on that day, the day I promised myself I would never think of again, I felt it all. I felt it all so strongly that I nearly keeled over right then. But killing an entire nation is not as easy as it seems.
That came out WAY angsty-er than I wanted it to be...
You know in those Laundry Detergent commercials, where the people are frolicking in the sheets and wrapping them around themselves, and generally rolling around merrily in the sheets with no sexual innuendo?
Well I did that yesterday because my mom was going to be late from work and she asked me to take care of my own sheets, and so I took them out of the dryer, and I was going to put them on the bed, but they were all warm and soft and so I frolicked in them first and it was a lot of fun! And for those of you adding sexual innuendo to this: Fuck you.
SOOOO...
bye!
