You couldn't help but stop him from leaving. He was leaving for a no-good reason, just to do his job. His job raked in money, and supposedly helped everyone. The final solution was just to get rid of all the wounds in the country, and this was it.
"Warum sind Sie mich anhalten—why are you stopping me?"
"This isn't a job," you hissed, your anger deep-pitted in your eyes. "You're killing people." Every time you looked at his uniform and his serious expression, you realized that he was part of it now. Every single time you would look at him, your eyes would accidentally stray to the holster latched to his belt, and the thoughts in your mind would halt, the world swaying.
And yet he looked so much like the same person he used to be. Pale blue eyes, which you usually saw as a beautiful sky blue; everything was reflected in them. Blond hair, slicked back into perfection, and serious face. Only thing missing was his spirit.
"People," you repeated as he refused to meet your eyes. Your defiance was shown on a regular basis, but this was a new-found defiance, the one found in people who blatantly stated their opinions. The ones who he needed to strike down. But when he touched you, it wasn't with force. A set of gentle, gloved hands moved you out of the way as you stumbled.
"Nein," he replied. How could he be so cool and collected when people were dying in the hands of his boss? The bloods of those very people were staining the terrain, when they marched past and the citizens watched without feeling. A cynical edge to his tone, "What do you want me to do about it, [Name]?"
"I want you to stop," you snapped. Your eyes darkened. "Please—I need you to stop. Those people…"
"What inspired you to do this," he whispered. His words were more of a statement rather a question, and his eyes were cold as a sheet of ice, freshly frozen overnight; even by the warmest gestures, there was not a chance of them defrosting. You looked down as he moved you aside again, reminding you of the day you saw his brother on the other side of the wall.
Face as pallid as stone, and his wrath swiped right from the palette of bloodlike colors into his eyes. Fists clenched, ready for bloodshed. You just watched from a distance, afraid to approach and yearning to be by his side, tell him it was going to be alright. Even when the rain started, he simply stood there as you scrambled for shelter.
Even farther from him then, you could see the new scars on his pale knuckles, hands. His almost-white hair was plastered to his face, and it wasn't until he was dragged away by his own people as his shrieks and howls were swallowed by the night. Shrieks dwindled to howls. Howls dwindled to cries. Cries decomposed until he was completely silent, and you didn't see him for days since. You shivered, and darted away on your own like a lonely fox without a forest to wander in.
"I'm not part of the Aryan race! So kill me here and now!" you screamed angrily as he continued to simply walk away from you.
How could he?
How could he leave you hanging?
For the first time, Ludwig looked back at you. He wasn't who he was before. Instead, a shadow of who he was flickers across his face; that unsure expression. You could almost feel it, but you turned away before he could say anything. You collapsed, knees weak, just as you heard the door slam behind you.
You never knew he wanted to shout at you until he was hoarse.
He wanted to shout, "I love you."
He wanted to say it over and over, but just as he stared into his boss' eyes, his feelings were absolutely obliterated. Trampled to the dirt floor—simply vanished. He swallowed the urge, closed his eyes, and looked at what was in front of him, even though he was blind to the world. Another few thousand eyes stared back at his, and he lifted his rifle carefully, taking aim.
And yet, you were the only one he couldn't bring the strength to strike down.

Your face goes red every time I see you. Is it because you're shy?

I just came out from a world meeting, and as usual, nothing got done. More shouting and nonsensical discussions, sometimes I wish they would actually be serious for once. America cannot stop with his absolutely deafening shout of 'I'm the hero!' and Italy restlessly wishes for more pasta.
I walked on the pavement back to my home when suddenly, someone jumped on me and we both crashed to the ground. I groaned in pain and opened my eyes. It was _____, lying on top of me with the cutes- uhm, I mean most idiotical expression on her face. I could fe

.:GermanyxReader: Save me, Ludwig.:
A gentle sigh escaped your thin lips. You and the main Axis Powers had been stranded on an abandoned southern island for a few days now. It was supposed to be up to Kiku, or Japan, to get transportation back to their base, but that didn't go exactly as planned. It seems when it comes to any type of transportation, Kiku was just as clueless as Feliciano, or Italy. You weren't exactly thrilled with being stuck on an island with three countries that bickered all the damn time. Especially Feli and Ludwig, also known as Germany. He was a total hardass to poor Feliciano. Ludwig was constantly training him, so much in fact that Feli would pass out

GermanyxReader: Love
Germany took him normal seat in the meeting room, mentally preparing himself for the torture that lay ahead; a bunch of nations squabbling over the stupidest little things, some of them even irrelevant to the matter at hand.
Scanning the room with his blue eyes, he notices the normal nations he would be stuck with for the entire meeting filter into the room. One thing he noticed was that France and England were already shooting glances at each other. He knew this was going to be another long meeting.
Behind them, a calm Japanese man came in followed by his Italian friend. But something was different about Italy. He
