The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, by all accounts it was a beautiful picturesque morning. So naturally this meant Austria was fast asleep, buried in a warm cocoon of his finniest blankets and pillows, shielding himself from all the unpleasantness that came with waking up in the early hours. Unfortunately for him, he had responsibilities and obligations and all kinds of inconveniences that occur in the mornings. And a neighbor with a bad habit of breaking in to see him.

Said neighbor, the “awesome” East Germany also known as Prussia, also happened to have responsibilities and obligation and the like that saw her arriving on Austria’s doorstep at eight o’clock in the morning. Making good use of her lock picking abilities she entered the house, noting a lack of staff running around to get things ready for the day. All the better for her to quietly sneak up the stairs and enter his bedroom.

Prussia headed straight for Austria’s bed and lied down next to him, albeit on top of the covers rather than completely joining him. Very carefully she pulled down the tops of the blankets to reveal his face, and it scrunched up as the light hit him. She grinned and leaned down, gently pressing her lips to his before pulling away to speak,

“Österreich it’s time to get up.”

She’s not just his annoying neighbor, no there’s something of a romance between them, and so as Austria was slowly roused from her voice and touch he doesn’t yell, or get angry, instead he made a sound that- though he would disagree- can only be described as a whine. Prussia threaded her fingers through his hair in answer, tugging just the tiniest bit to get a more wakeful response from him. Finally Austria opened his eyes, and stared at her blearily.

“There we go! Kesesese, no sleeping in today young master,” Prussia grinned down at him.

“You’re too noisy for this hour,” Austria mumbled sleepily, “What hour is it anyway?”

“It’s eight. Well it was eight when the cool me got here, it’s probably a little later now.”

Austria slowly sat up, the blanket pooling at his hips to protect his modesty though he personally didn’t care about such things before his morning coffee.

“Pardon, but are you in a suit?”

Prussia blinked, not expecting the question. In actual fact- as she was quick to point out to him- she was in a pencil skirt and suit jacket. Her skirt and jacket were a deep blue- although not quite her blue- and really made her eyes pop. Under the jacket was her usual white blouse and cravat, but unlike usual she had nude tights on and was in sensible dress heels. She was the perfect image of professionalism and it was enough to shock some of the tiredness from Austria’s mind.

“You don’t realize why I’m here, do you?” Prussia asked, clucking her tongue when Austria shook his head. “We have a World Meeting today. Come on, West is in the car waiting for us.”

It was Austria’s turn to click his tongue in discontentment, finally kicking his sheets off and getting out of bed. Still not coherent he muttered something about needing to shower, and set off for his adjoined bathroom before he could even hear Prussia’s response.

Once she heard the water start Prussia started buzzing around the room. First she cleaned up the clothes and other mess on the floor- she just couldn’t help herself, the mess was driving her nuts, and besides she needed some new handkerchiefs anyway- then she set about rummaging through Austria’s closet. Most of his outfits were suitable for meetings but there was something fun about getting to pick something out for him, after all he was very particular about his dress.

By the time Austria reemerged, slightly more awake looking from the shower, a black suit was laid out on his bed and Prussia was amusing herself with someone of his knickknacks. He allowed her to do as he pleased for a while, at least until he could put his trousers on, but then he reached over and pulled her back towards him by the hips.

She spun in his hold a little, and pulled him down for a proper kiss. Their lips melted together slow and sleepy as they hold each other for the first time this morning, just a little piece of affectionate bliss before they have to join with the rest of their colleagues. Eventually Austria pulled away with a yawn.

“Am I expected to wear what you’ve got laying here then?” Austria asked, glancing at the rest of the clothes on his bed with a squeeze to Prussia’s hips.

“Wearing a more modern suit isn’t gonna kill you Specs. It might even look good on you!”

“Naturally if I own it, it is made to fit me, but I much prefer the older styles.”

“Yeah, yeah, you and your layers. Hurry up we're gonna be late if you keep fussing about it!”

Austria sighed, but acquiesced, letting her go to finish dressing. As he said it looked good on him, cut to fit just right. In the privacy of his own thoughts he quite fancied the idea Prussia broke in just to make sure they almost matched…even if that was much too “couply” to have truly been her motivation. In just a dress shirt and a nice jacket he felt incomplete though, and turned back to Prussia to question her, until he saw her holding a tie.

“Preußen, really?”

“Don't start, we’re going for the modern look today! Everyone wears them!”

She padded over to him and swung the fabric around the back of his neck, adjusting the ends so she could start tying as he complained. Prussia concentrated hard on what she was doing; meticulously looping the tie around until she got a nice even looking knot, then slowly slid it up to the proper position. Austria couldn’t help but find the whole thing cute, and he patted her on the head as she fussed with making his shirt and jacket were equally straight and uniform.

“Well,” he conceded, “I suppose this isn’t so bad.”

“That’s the spirit!! Now come on, West has coffee for us in the car too.”

“Coffee?” Austria quirked his head, then quickly stepped away to retrieve his glasses, “Well then, shall we get going my dear?”

Prussia took his proffered arm with a grin. It was a beautiful picturesque morning, for now anyway.
