An hour later he was at the same crossroad that he had made his deal with the devil fourteen years before, it felt like a lifetime now. He noticed immediately that the same figure from that night was standing there waiting for him.
“It is time.” It said as he came up to it.
“I’m ready. . .” Gilbert said, closing his eyes and waiting for the pain that was sure to come. But it didn’t, instead he heard someone shout his name and then strong arms wrapped around him.
“Bruder. . .”
“W-West?” Gilbert said in surprise, opening his eyes and looking down at the arms wrapped around him. “What are you doing here?” He noticed the Devil was still there but he seemed to be waiting.
West let out a shuddery laugh. “I knew what you did all those years ago. . .what you did to keep me safe. And I made my own agreement.”
Gilbert felt his face go pale. “No. . .”
“Yes.” The Devil said. “Your wish was granted, and your brothers will soon come to pass. You will be separated and you will both go through much grief. Your brother will be spared much pain as per our original bargain, but you will experience untold agonies in during these years.” He told Gilbert as he began to fade before disappearing with a clap of thunder, his voice echoing one last time. “With this both your bargains will be met.”
The two brothers were left alone then, a silence stretching out between them until Gilbert finally spoke. “Why?”
“Because you are my brother and I could not bare to lose you.” Ludwig whispered his usual iron composure not at all present.
“Thank you.”

This is bittersweet... ;A; Not in a really angsty way but in a way that tugs at your heart-strings. Of both brothers who made the pact to protect the other.
