Chapter Schenke

[Austria]

*Sigh* kerri softly sat down in her seat. The pub was always the place she would go after a long day of visting with freinds and playing with her animals. She always ordeded the same thing. A good old beer. She took a sip of it.

"Ahhhhh!!" she happly said after she siped it and started chugging the beer. After about half of the glass was empty she could help notice the people sitting about four seats away from her. There was a cute brown haired italian and a teired looking german with blonde hair. As she thoguht to herself, she wanted to get to know this person, well the german of course. She sated there staring at his blue eyes from a far. "His eyes are so pretty." she said softly to herself, blushing a little.

After she finished drinking the rest of her beer and sat next to the germany.

"Hello! Whats your name?" Kerri asked the german happily putting her out to shake his.

[Italy]

"I can't believe you drug me in here, Hetalia..." Ludwig sighed, wiping at the cold sweat on his beer mug. Today was an awful day:

First, his teammate was dumb enough to be taken hostage by the Allies. So, he had to take time out of his precious training to find out where it was they took him, and bring him back over to safety.

Then, Italy decided to try and cook something for lunch to thank his Doitsu for rescuing him. In the end, Ludwig ended up scrubbing down a nearly burnt-down kitchen. Man, what a pain...

All he wanted to do was go home, take a nice scalding hot shower, get in his REAL bed, take some aspirin and sleep for the next 8 hours. Maybe the rest would work out the aching knots in his back and shoulders.

But, suddenly, he noticed the seat on his free side being sat in, and he looked over to see who it was that took the spot. There, sitting beside him, was a beautiful girl. Her hair was a luscious brown, with eyes to match, and the soft locks curled on the ends. Her face seemed to light up the dim bar, and made his face flush a bright red.

"H-hello," he answered, looking up and down quickly at her slender curves. She seemed to have them in all the right places, and it was impressive you can tell that with her sitting down! It only made him wonder how she looked standing up. Hmm....

"I'm Ludwig," he bowed his head slightly to show her respect. "Now, what's your name?"

[Austria]

"I'm Kerri" she replied with a big grin. "Its nice to meet you!" she went on. "You look very tired, oh I'm sorry that was rude to say" she giggled slightly and looked over at the person sitting beside Ludwig. As she stared at the two of them more something clicked in her brain.

"Hmmmm now that i think of it...the person sitting next to you is Feliciano isn't it!" It was all coming back to her. She had seen them both before, but not actually talked to them. "Kiku is one of my closest friends and he talks about both of you all the time. I've actually have always wanted to meet you. Its so funny how we both met her in this pub isn't!"

She thought to her self that this had to be fate! She always had Kiku tell her over and over again what Ludwig had looked like. She knew he sounded like the perfect person. She was so happy to finally meet the person she had been dreaming of and he was much more cuter than she imagined!

[Italy]

Ludwig chuckled. She was Kiku's best friend, and he talked about them all the time? It was flattering, in a way, but he also wondered what it was he also said about them...

"Hello!" the cow-licked male squaked into Ludwig's ear. He was directing the comment toward the Australian female, but the greeting seemed to ring in the German's ears.

"HETALIA!" Ludwig hissed, standing up and hitting the back of the younger country's head. Damn, he was such a pest! Yelling in his ear all the time, causing him nothing but painful trouble... but, he couldn't help but still care for the brunette.

Whether he liked it or not, Italy was his only friend.

"E-Eh?!" he whimpered. "I-I'm so sorry! I-I just got really excited seeing the girl Kiku-san talks about all the time! I'm so happy to finally meet you!" His voice rose as he looked at Kerri again. Finally, a lady friend!

...Ludwig was just thinking the same thing.

[Austria]

"Oh hello!" she hastily replied. " Oh its nice that Kiku talks about me to you guy, but I'm i really the only lady friend you guys have?" she questioned doubtfully. She kinda lowered her voice and then said "Well it is actually kind of nice, i guess."

"Well I'm also glad that i get to met both of you guys!" She got up and gave Ludwig a hug and then shortly after gave Feliciano a hug too. "Here how about i get both of you a drink!" she said noticing there cups where empty. She ordered 3 cups of sake. "I'm sure you drink this stuff right, Kiku, Alfred, and I drink this together all the time!~" She held up her glass. "To comer-ate to becoming new friends!" She fastly sat back down and began chugging her sake.

[Italy]

{name:Ludwig#|#picture:1}Germany gasped and blushed slightly when he felt the small girl hug him. She was cute, and open about everything too! And, offering to buy them drinks? He liked her already!

"O-oh!"he replied. "T-thank you, but you don't have to--" The mug of beer was already sitting infront of him, and Italy was downing his glass.

"Mmmm... this is soooo good!" Italy chirped, sighing happily. "Thank you for the drink! It was amazing<3"

"Y-yeah, thank you," Ludwig replied, slowly taking in the whole beer and feeling the cold liquid rush down his throat.

((...you won't come over? QAQ))

[Austria]

((lol no ^_^))

"Your very welcome <3" she replied "No problome at all!" She said putting the money on the table.

Her face turned red. "Oh no im felling light headed, i think i had to much to drink and i chuged both glasses of beer that I had so fast!" She stood up. "I'm going to go to the bathroom!" she declaired. She stared to walk when she tripped over herself and fell onto Ludwig. "Oh no Im really sorry!" She got up real fast "Its not very good to fall on your new freind..." then she passed out on the floor.

[Italy]

{name:Ludwig#|#picture:1}Just as she was talking, Ludwig gasped when Australia fell to the floor in a passed-out heap. He knelt down, scooping her into his arms, and holding her with care.

"Is she okay, Doitsu?" A worried Italy asked, tears forming in his frantic eyes. The German simply nodded, and began walking out with her, but not before taking the money she had put on the table, and replacing it with his own.

"She's fine," he replied, slipping her cash back into the pocket she had pulled it out of. The last thing he wants is for the poor girl that bought him a drink to be paying for everything. "Too much to drink, I'd say. She did say she was feeling light headed, so it would be best to have her rest." With that, he walked out of the pub, with a cow-licked brunette close behind, to their home.

~~
Kiku had just finished preparing a warm dinner for his allies, when he suddenly heard them come in. He looked up, with a smile, and was surprised to see a familiar face in Ludwig's arms.

"...Kerri?" he whispered, now noting that she was unconscious when there was no reply. Ludwig gently laid her in the recliner in the next room over, pulling it back so that she rested in it comfortably.

"She blacked out from drinking too much," the blonde explained. "She should come to in a few minutes." And, with that, he pulled a chair up beside the leather Laz-e-Boy, and waited for her to come back to.

[Austria]

Kerri woke up in the soft chair. See rubbed her eyes. She could smell the sent of food. "Wh-where am I?" asked looking around. She looked over to see Ludwig. "Oh Ludwig! Where am I!" She got up quickly. Then some of her money fell out of her pocket. She looked down out at it. "What how did I get all this money...I spent it." She picked it up.

Then she realized that she had passed earlier from the consumption of too much alcohol. She Gasped. "OH NO! I'M SO SORRY!" she blurred out. "I passed out didn't I! You know I'm sorry~!" She bowed. Then she looked back up. "Oh, I recognize this house! Its Japan's! You brought me back here! Your so kind! Oh my gosh, now i feel like I'm intruding!" She sat back down. "Oh no I'm starting to feel light headed again." She said lowering her head. Then her eyes began to water. "I feel so dumb..."

[Italy]

{name:Ludwig#|#picture:1}Watching her instantly awaken, Germany sighed when she saw the Australian okay and not in too much pain.

But, when she suddenly started to stand and frantically say this and that, he gasped and tried to calm her down.
"Please, you'll get light-headed again...!" And, as if on a cue, she had plopped back down in the chair, complaining about being said light-headed. He sighed, and saw her begin to tear up.

"O-oh...!" he whispered, putting his hand on her back. "Please don't cry... you're not dumb." He tried his hardest to make light of the situation. "When I first started drinking, I would go a little over-board, and nearly drink myself into a coma...!" he chuckled a bit, and rubbed her back slightly for comfort. "And, the reason you have your money still, is that I paid for the drinks. You already bought me one, and then you were trying to pay for everything. I wasn't going to let you do that..."
He kept his voice in a gentle whisper, making sure not to make it too loud and give her any kind of headache or ear-ringing. After all, being drunk opens up your senses to being sensitive.

[Austria]

"Oh ok, I'll stop crying I don't know why I'm crying. Thank you for caring for me." She wiped awayher tears. She smiled when he put his hand on the back of her back and blushed a tiny bit.

When the german told her the story of when he first starting drink she giggled. "Oh thats not good! I don't do that to myself!" she replied giggling some. "I'm glad you didn't go into a coma!" she said smiling.

"What! You did!? I wanned to pay for it D8" Then the burnet tilted her head a little and smiled. "You know your a good person, I'm glad your my freind. Thankyou."

She pulled on his hand to sit next to her. Once he sat down she softly kissed his cheek. Then she gave him a hug. She could tell that she really like him at this point. He is sweet, caring, and kind. She wasnt too sure that he would like her at first sight, like she had with him, but in time she wanted him to love her too.

"Ludwig do you think you can do me a favor, I'm still feeling light headed. So do you think i could sleep in your lap?" While asking this her face was turning red.
