His Beloved (Prussia x Reader part 2)

It had been quite some time.. many tears were shed, many laughs and smiles slipped through, much pain had been endured, yet Gilbert could not forget what he'd done to lose his beloved. He'd been with many girls afterward in a vain attempt to forget her, but nothing was the same.

He was able to keep his mind occupied, but when all was said and done she was still there, always in the back of his mind.
On this particular day, Gilbert was sitting on a bench in the park. It had become a regular pastime for him, just sitting there and people-watching.

“Hi,” Said a very familiar voice.

“__-____! What are you doing here?” Gilbert asked, trying not to sound overexcited. “I mean, hey. What’s up?”

_____ sensed the embarrassment in his voice and giggled. “I just came to enjoy the day.. and stuff. You?” she sat down on the bench Gilbert was sitting on.

“I uh…” Gilbert hesitated. ‘make something up, verdammt!’ “I have a.. date..”


‘Really? That’s what you come up with?!’


“Way to go, Gilbert. Who is she?” _____ asked a little disappointed.

‘Great, now she’s sad!’ “Oh, she’s a girl I don’t really know. Anyway, I feel there’s something wrong with you.”

“There’s nothing wrong. I have nothing to hide.”

“I doubt it.”

“I don’t really care if you do or not.”

“So you are? You mind telling me what’s troubling you? What you’re hiding?”

“Why should I have to hide anything from you?”

“Your body language is telling me so.”

“What does that have to with anything? You haven’t changed; you’re as nosy as ever.”


‘But I have changed.’


“Why do you care if I hide things from you or not anyway?”


‘That’s the reason we broke up!’


“I don’t, I’m just curious.” Gilbert said.

“Well if you must know Gilbert, I broke it off with Arthur. He’s getting transferred to another city and I don’t want to move. So, I came here to let off some steam.”

“That sounds tough.”

“Yeah, well, things happen.” _____ snapped.

“You don’t have to be so mean about it.”

“Sorry, but when someone tells you that their work won’t get between your relationship, and then it does, it feels really shitty..”

_____ sighed and lowered her head. “If he was too busy for me then why did he enter a relationship with me? Oh, I probably shouldn’t be talking about this with you
right now..”


Gilbert felt really awkward hearing about her and Arthur’s failed relationship. The one they happened to have after she and Gilbert broke up..

“You know, I’d hug you or something but it feels a little inappropriate.”

____ stared Gilbert down for a few seconds. She raised her arm and dramatically pointed her index finger at him.

“YOU!”

Gilbert looked startled. “GET OVER HERE!” she shouted.

He nervously inched over to where she was.

She scooted even closer and opened her arms. “You can hug me.”


“Are you serious?” Gilbert asked while trying not to sound excited. She nodded.

The two shared a long, familiar hug. “I’ve missed you a lot, you know.” Said Gilbert.

“I’ve missed you too, Gilbert. But I still haven’t forgotten about what you did. You sorta left me out to die in a way.”

“I haven’t forgotten about what I did, either. I still feel really bad about it. I keep hoping you’ll forgive me but I know there’s hardly a chance of that.”

“Not that there’s no chance, it’s just.. you didn’t want to listen to me and let your anger get in the way of resolving the situation. Then you got mad at Arthur when he did.

In short, you were being a real asshat, Gil.”


“I know, I know.” Gilbert breathed into _____’s shoulder. “I regretted it then and I regret it now. I know it’s all my fault that that crap happened and I’ve never been able to forgive myself for it and I know you won’t, either. But if you can at least… excuse my shitty behavior and at least give me a chance to be your friend again, it would mean the world.”


“Gilbert..”

“Losing you felt so bad.. Like my heart ripped out of my chest.” He choked out.


“How do you think I felt, Gil?! I needed you most and you abandoned me!” she cried. “You tore my heart to pieces and left. Then you got mad when Arthur came around.”

“I know, I know!” Gilbert also cried. “I did the worst thing ever and I paid for it when you went to him! I hurt you really bad and beat Arthur when he came to save you but it was out of guilt! I was jealous that he did what I couldn’t!”
“Gilbert, you really hurt me then.. and I know I hurt you too.”

“I deserved it, you didn’t. I only hope and pray that you forgive me.”

“I forgive you, Gil.”

“You what?”

“I forgive you. You heard me right.”

“Mein Gott, I’m so sorry for what I did, I’m so so so so so so sorry.”

“It’s okay now..”


Gilbert pulled away just a bit and kissed _____’s forehead.


They finally pulled away when,

“You haven’t said my name yet.”

“I haven’t?”

“Nope. I’m sitting here going Gilbert, Gilbert, and you haven’t said my name once.”

“I didn’t notice.”

“I didn’t notice…?”

“I didn’t notice, _____”

_____ smiled.” I had forgotten how my name sounds in your voice.”
“Sounds nice, doesn’t it?” Gilbert bragged.
_____ giggled.

“_____.” He said. She giggled again. “_____.”
“_____.” “_____.” “_____.”

“You can stop now!” _____ requested in a fit of laughter.  “My name just sounds so awesome the way you say it!”

“If it’s so awesome then why should I stop?”

“Cause I’m gonna die laughing!”

“But you’d die happy.”

_____ stared at Gilbert again. “Do you want to.. get some like, coffee, or something? You know, since your non-existent date won't be showing up.”

“I hate that stuff.”

“Pancakes?”

“Let’s go!” Gilbert cheered, standing up.


“Just to be clear, we’re not together.”

Gilbert nodded disappointedly, but he understood.


“But that doesn’t mean we couldn’t be one day.”
