Description
Kiku hated winter. His house was freezing - though not as badly as Ivan’s - and it didn’t help that Feliciano and Ludwig had come by for a “Christmas Vacation.” Pulling his kimono tighter around him, he sat at his kotatsu, sipping his steaming mug of tea. Feliciano was currently playing with one of Ludwig’s new puppies as said European nation sipped his beer contently.

“How long are you two staying?” Kiku wrapped his hands around his mug.

Ludwig shrugged. “We won’t be staying for too long, don’t worry.” Another sip of beer. “I just needed a break from Gilbert and his ‘awesomeness.’”

“Oh, he’s staying with you then?” The puppy tackled Feliciano to the ground and the two other nations chuckled.

“Yeah. It’s annoying as hell. He doesn’t know when to leave me alone.” Ludwig pulled his puppy off of Feliciano as it prepared to bite him. “And Roderich’s staying, too, so of course Elizaveta is constantly stopping by.” A heavy sigh. “My house is a constant dog fight.”

Feliciano whined and reached for the puppy again. “I’m here because I miss Kiku!” He smiled widely, picking up Kiku’s dog, Pochi-kun, instead. “We don’t hang out anymore!”

“That’s because our houses need taking care of, Feliciano-tan. We can’t leave as freely anymore.” Kiku looked at the other two nations. “Well, at least I can’t.” He absentmindedly pulled a small fan from his kimono sleeve and began fanning himself with it.

“Um, Kiku… What are you doing…?” Ludwig put his beer down and plucked the fan out of Kiku’s hand.

“Don’t you think it’s starting to feel hot in here?” The Asian nation loosened the neck of his kimono and used his sleeve to wipe some sweat off his neck and forehead.

“N-Not particularly, no.” Ludwig cocked a brow suspiciously.

“Kiku, you sure do have a lot of issues…” Feliciano jumped up and put one hand on the Asian nation’s forehead. “Oh man, Kiku! You’re freezing! Pull your robe tight again!”

The Italian began adjusting Kiku’s kimono as the Asian nation’s phone rang. Ludwig answered it.

“Hello? …Oh hello, Yao… Well, yes, he’s here but… No, Yao, you see, I think he’s sick… Symptoms? Um, none really… He’s just complaining that he’s hot…. And he’s starting to sweat quite a bit…” There was a long, strained pause from the man on the phone. “Ts-Tsunami!? W-Well, what should we do!? …Alright. Thank you, Yao.” Ludwig hung the phone up and walked back over to the other two nations.

“Well, what did he say?” Feliciano had wrapped his jacket around the dark-haired man and was now hugging him close; Kiku shivered, but still tried to push the Italian off because of the false heat he felt.

“Yao said to keep him wrapped up, give him plenty of water, and make him get some sleep.”

“Ludwig-san, Feliciano-tan, I’m fine, I swear.” Kiku smiled. “I just need to turn off the heater.”

“It’s not on, Kiku! You said it’s not Earth-friendly to have it on all the time!” The Mediterranean nation let him go as Ludwig picked him up and carried him off to the bed room. He ran into the kitchen a poured a glass of water and when he brought it back, Ludwig all but forced the sickly nation to drink it.

“Now stay under those covers, Kiku! You need to get better.”

“But it’s too hot, Lud--”

“NEIN! Stay under those covers, drink your water, and get some sleep! Is that understood!” Ludwig stomped his foot and yelled at the older nation.

Kiku sighed. “If it will put you at ease, Ludwig-san…” He pulled the blanket over his head and curled into a ball. “Arigato gozaimasu…” Kiku paused. “You know, for worrying…”

“I told you before, Kiku! We’re friends! We need to look out for each other!” As the Asian nation smiled under his comforter and began to drift off, the other two nations quietly left his room.

“Hey, Ludwig! It’s really cold in here!” Feliciano pulled the blonde into one of Kiku’s guest rooms and wrapped a quilt around the two of them. “Let’s keep each other warm through the night, okay?” He snuggled close to the other nation and clung to Ludwig’s right arm.

“H-Hey! We have our own rooms!” Ludwig tried to pull away, but the Italian held tight. Ludwig sighed in annoyance: the other nation was already fast asleep. A grin crept onto his face as the European nation watched his ally sleep.

“I guess this isn’t… so bad…” Ludwig laid down and hugged Feliciano to him - simply an act to keep each other warm, he would tell himself when he woke up from a night of cuddling.
