Hetaoni: Prussia x Reader~ Until the End

A/N: Okay, so I looked up
Hetaoni Reader and found about 20 reader inserts, which made me sad because I
love it so much. I started listening to music and found the perfect song! So
I'm writing my own, hope you like it! Constructive criticism is welcome and
favorite/comments are much appreciated, thanks for reading!

You were tired, but not nearly as exhausted as everyone
else. They had all finally gathered in the safe room and were going to bed. So
much had been going on the past two days, and with the memories, no one was
entirely sure what was what anymore. Everyone was getting ready to fall asleep
when Canada, no, Matthew asked, "Name, aren't you going to get ready for bed?"

You smiled a little tiredly at him and blinked once. You
said, "All of you guys need the sleep much more then I do, plus there is
already a shortage of beds. I'll be fine, we need a watch just in case
something else happens."

He opened his mouth to protest, but stopped himself.
Amer-Alfred on the other hand had a problem with this. He claimed, "You've fought
just as hard as we have, you deserve some sleep too."

You shook your head and said, "I haven't been fighting
hardly at all, I've been busy doing all I can to heal you guys. Relax; if I
start closing my eyes I'll go to sleep Alfred. Just get some rest."

Feliciano headed over with a grateful smile, "Thank you Name, for
everything. You're always there to heal us and brighten our spirits."

Intently, you looked into his eyes and said, "Considering
all you've been through, I owe you this much. I owe you much more, but this is
all I can give. You deserve all the happiness in the world after this. I only
wish I could give it to you. I'm sorry, for dying on you, I didn't mean to."

You began tearing up and stopped yourself, he had been through
this so many times for all of you. How many, you may never know.
He took your hand and said; "Don't be sorry, I'm sorry for making
so many mistakes and not getting us out of here sooner."

"Don't you dare say that! You have done so much,
anyone else would have crumbled by now and gone insane.
You are doing so much better then  anyone could've asked, just go
get some well deserved rest," you said.

You looked at him and could see the battle in his eyes, but
he decided to just go to sleep. You rested your eyes for a moment and saw
everyone on the makeshift beds. Everyone looked content and some actually
smiled for the first time in a few days. They were happy to go to bed. Kiku
mumbled, "It's like training camp."

Alfred responded with, "Beds are nice, but sleeping on the
floor in a futon is fun too! Even though it's a little cramped."

You looked and saw six people on either side of the small
space and laughed a bit to yourself, cramped was definitely the word. Antonio
said, "I can't wait for our party." You thought fondly of what would happen
when you all got out and he continued, "Why there are so many things I want to
do that I think I'll forget some of them. I'll have to write them down."

It was silent for a bit, each of you lost in your own world,
before Lovino commented, "Hey, Veneziano, we'll really have to send food to Japan's
house before..." He trailed off and looked to his left, before saying, "He fell
asleep."

Everyone felt the same, he needed it most. Francis voiced
your thoughts and added, "He must be tired. He's finally got some relief. Let
him sleep."

Pru-Gilbert said, "Was he awake even when I keeping watch?"

Ludwig looked deep in thought as he remarked, "Probably, it must
have been necessary in order to survive. Come to think of it, even when Japan
and I woke up..."

Kiku continued the thought and said, "He was awake. To think
that he was aware of that monster because he had known from the very
beginning."

An overwhelming sense of guilt took over you. No matter how
much you tried to pay Feliciano back for everything he had done, you'd never be
able to. Unless you could save his life countless times, you couldn't. He was
so selfless, it astounded you, it truly did. Matthew said, "He occasionally
appeared to be reading the Bible- I mean, journal. Do you think he's written
about everything he's gone through so far?"

Ivan muttered, "Maybe. Maybe he'll let us read it now?"

You sighed, as much help as that would be; he was very
protective over his journal, no matter the contents. Arthur said, with an edge to his
tone, "We could ask him tomorrow. ...All right, enough chatting for today! I'm
going to sleep!"

There was a silent agreement as everyone shuffled a bit in
their beds, getting comfortable. You watched serenely, "Good night
guys, have good dreams."

Half of them were already asleep, but Yao yawned, "Yea..." He
trailed off and entered dream world.

It appeared as though everyone had fallen asleep so you
began singing to yourself, very quietly. In the past, singing had always helped
you calm down and you needed to stay awake somehow. One song came to mind; it
had been made in America you distantly remembered. You began singing, "You're
not alone, together we stand

I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand

When it gets cold, and it feels like the end

There's no place to go, you know I won't give in



No I won't give in



Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

No other way when it comes to the truth

Just keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through."

There was a small interlude between this verse and the next
so you stopped and listened to everyone's breathing. Then, you heard a rough voice
that had become familiar to you in the past two days, "Don't stop singing."

You turned and saw the man farthest on the left talking. He
looked intently at you and you could see what a crumbled mess he was. Once his
younger brother had fallen asleep, he had let down his guard. This man looked
broken inside and torn to pieces, but he was still alive. He said,
"Please continue."

You smiled a bit at his reaction and nodded. You sang, "So
far away, I wish you were here

Before it's too late this could all disappear

Before the doors close and it comes to an end

With you by my side I will fight and defend

I'll fight and defend



Yeah, yeah



Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

No other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through



Hear me when I say, when I say I believe

Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny

Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

You could hear the music playing in your head, even though
it wasn't actually on. You saw Gilbert's face lit up with a smile and his eyes
still open. Why was he listening, why didn't he just go to bed? The second
interlude ended and you sang, "Keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through

Just stay strong

'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

No other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through



Keep holding on



Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say

Nothing you could do

No other way when it comes to the truth

So keep holding on

'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it
through."

The song finished and you smiled as you had meant every word
of it. You just wish they all knew that. As if by telepathy, Gilbert asked, "Did
you mean it?"

You smiled grimly at him, "Yes, I'll be with you
guys until the end. Whether that is in minutes or millennia, I'll be here. I
promise."

"Come here."

You got off your chair and headed over to his sleeping space
closest to the table. He put his forehead next to yours, an intimate gesture
you had only ever shared with your brotherly figure, Antonio. It felt foreign,
but somehow right. You kept your heads like that and he pulled you close to
him. You didn't resist and relished in his warmth as well as this moment. Your
head had moved from his head to his neck and you nestled in there.

For what felt like forever, you stayed like that and
could've sworn he had fallen asleep. You were perfectly comfortable with it
though, in fact, it gave you a warm feeling inside you couldn't quite identify.
It felt sort of like the bond you had with your very close friends and a
little bit different. He said, "Please look at me."


You lifted your head from the cranny between his neck and
shoulder. His crimson eyes bore into your (e/c) orbs, with a loving look. He
said, "I promise to be there for you and protect you. Until the end."

Being as bold as ever, he brought his lips lightly to yours.
Almost feigning a kiss, before breaking apart. He looked rather nervously at
you and you smiled at him, before bringing your rosy lips to his. They were
warm, but chapped, speaking of all he had been through. Together like this it was
perfection. He didn't try to do anything, except have his mouth on your own.

After a few moments, you broke apart and you whispered, "You
should get some sleep."

He nodded and mumbled, "Until the end," before closing his
eyes and falling asleep.

You picked up the extra pistol Ludwig had had on him and
watched the door with a newfound hope. You would stay together, somehow, and everyone would make it out alive and well. His kiss had given you hope.
