Roderich handcuffed and hidden in his basement.

knocks on the door.

answers it with his gun in hand.

waves. "Yo, here to pick up the aristocrat."

raises a brow at him and shakes his head. "What if I don't want to hand him over?"

stares at him for a moment. "I want to take him to visit Hungary since she's sick! Where is he?"

shakes his head again. "Not happening."

huffs! Some nerve! "So why d'ya have him anyway?"

shut the door on him as he went back into his living room. If the Prussian couldn't figure it out he wasn't going to tell him.

huffs and follows after. "Are you insane or what?"

raised his run and aimed it at him as he was followed. "I didn't invite you into my house."

narrows his eyes. "Well you sorta kidnapped someone. I thought you were supposed to be a neutral country."

shrugs a bit, his finger on the trigger. "You took something important to me."

makes a face. "I didn't take it. I just misplaced it. Some even came home all ready."

glares at him. "That's not the point, you touched something you shouldn't have."

grins suddenly. "So you decide to touch something you shouldn't? It sounds to me like you just wanted an excuse of some sort."

tightens his hold on his gun. "Why would I want an excuse to touch him? Of all the people."

shrugs, still grinning quite wickedly. "You tell *me*."

still glaring at him. "I hate him, I have no reason to want to touch him."

makes a strange hand movement. "I think there's more to it than that. I think you and me, we're in a similar situation."

continues to glare at him, still holding the gun ready to shoot. "How are we in a similar situation?"

eyes him. "..." He really didn't want to say anymore than that though. It was obvious, they both had some sort of feelings for the Austrian_

even if neither were willing to admit it out loud. "So about him, let him go."

shakes his head as he stepped closer to him. "If your implying that I have feelings for him, you're wrong. I'd rather he and I had never_

known each other."

doubts that's the case. Him and Hungary were childhood friends and weren't on the best of terms even now, but he still thought of her as_

probably one of his first loves. "Hmph, well I guess it doesn't matter. Your goats will come back."

steps closer to him still. "Out of my house now and don't come back till you've brought all of my goats with you."

sort of wishes Hungary wasn't hurt right now. He could use the back up (At the cost of getting slapped in the face with the frying pan when_

she found out the reason.) But for some reason he thought that sounded nicer than caving to get all the goats.

took another step towards him, his gun now pressing against his forehead. "Out."

holds up his hands. "Gonna let him go once I am done or do y'like having him handcuffed in your basement?" He was teasing, but it was a _

nice way to get shot.

glared at him again moving his gun to his shoulder as he tightened his finger on the trigger before he pulled it without hesitation.

barely knew what hit him. Suddenly, searing pain hit his shoulder and he found himself doubling over. Sure, everyone loved to beat him up._

But he was used to this really. He still found it with in himself to force out a laugh, clutching at the wound. "Can't take a joke...can _

you..."

glared at him and pushed him towards the door now. "It's not a joke anymore Prussia."

still clutching at his shoulder as he was pushed to the door. Well, clearly. But was it really a good idea to shoot him? All sorts of _

complications could arise. "Yeah, yeah..."

stopped for a moment as he watched him. "Just bring my goats back, please and leave me alone afterward."

stumbles forward, not saying a word.

continued to watch him before he set his gun down and grabbed his uninjured shoulder. Pulling him back into the house he maneuvered him to_

the couch. "Stay there, I'll be right back." He scowled as he went to his bathroom, grabbing the first aid kit. For all the annoyance _

Gilbert was he remembered when he'd come over when he was sick. For some reason that made him feel extremely guilty.

gave a pained grunt when he was grabbed, opening his mouth to protest when he was pushed to the couch. "What is with you! One minute you_

shoot me and the next you're patching up your handy work?"

put the kit down on the floor in front of him as he glared at him. "As much of an ass as you are, you did at least one nice thing for me._

I think I should repay that."

puffed up his cheeks, pouting quite intently at Vash. "Couldn't that have been the time you didn't SHOOT me?"

looked up at him as he got out all the things he would need. "No. You deserved that."

didn't think he did. He wasn't the one kidnapping a person. "Hrmph."

held up a pair of tweezers. "Maybe it'll teach you not to piss me off."

grins despite the pain. "I doubt it, my brother hits harder than this." It was a lie, but he had no intention of leaving Vash be. He had_

an interest in him for whatever reasons.

continued to glare at him as he pulled his hand away from the wound. "I just want you to leave me alone."

if Swiss gets lonely when his sister isn't around. "You want everyone to. That doesn't seem healthy."

ignored that as he dug the tweezers into the wound to pull out the bullet.

grips the couch tightly, daring not to make a noise. He was tough, he was tough! Had been through worse, but that didn't make it hurt any_

less.

pulled the bullet out and put it in Gilbert's lap before he started to clean the wound. "It's perfectly fine wanting to be left alone.

"*

frowns at his words. "You lie." As much as he said he liked being alone, he would love to be in Vash's situation. There were lots of_

people who would be willing to be around him.

glared at him as he finished cleaning the wound before putting a bandage over it. "I'm not lying."

stood as soon as he could, frown still on his face.

watched him get up, putting the supplies away.

moves towards the door. "I trust you won't hurt Austria. But he's probably not happy about being down there, so I'll get the goats."

nods a bit getting up from the floor. "I would never hurt that insuferable pansy."

can't help laughing at that. "One thing we agree on." He waves as he makes his way through the door.

rolled his eyes as watched him leave.
