The inspiration for this story came from the beautiful song: "You'll Be In My Heart" which I used some of the lyrics for the dialogue~ It's not my best work since I was so wrapped up in my inspiration but, I do hope you enjoy and thank you for reading~! -smiles-

Wiping his little brother's tears, Gilbert smiled at Ludwig. "Oh, stop your crying. It will be alright." he spoke soothingly as he reached out his hand to him. "Just take my hand, hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here. Don't you cry." For one so small, Gilbert could tell Ludwig was strong. He knew his little brother would grow up someday to become a strong and mighty nation. The bond they shared could not be broken. "My arms will hold you. Keep you ligtas and warm. I will be here. Don't you cry anymore." he sinabi pulling his brother into a hug. "Why can't they understand the way we feel?" Ludwig asked looking up with a tear streaked face. Gilbert smirked and let go of his little brother. "They just don't trust what they can't explain. I know we're different but, deep inside we're not that different at all. You'll be in my puso no matter what they say." he sinabi wiping Ludwig's eyes gently."Don't listen to them. What do they know anyways? We need each other. To have, to hold. I may not always be with you but, you got to hold on. They'll see in time. You'll become a strong nation. I know you will. We'll ipakita them together!" Ludwig smiled happily. His brother's words eased his worries and erased his tears. A small "Thank you, big brother" escaped his lips as he gave him a hug. A smile appeared on Gilbert's face and he placed a hand on Ludwig's head affectionately once more. The bond between them could never be broken. Ludwig would always be in Gilbert's heart. Forever.

"I'll be here for you. Always..."

The bond of family is one that cannot be broken.

No matter what.
