Challenges of Living Together
Precious Treasure
Prussia had seen a lot and done a lot in his many long years of life. He collected many different things at different times of his life and stopped some collections over the years. He saw and touched different types of treasure and gained and lost some along the years as well.
There were times when he pillaged peoples and nations alike for their wealth to add to his collection and other times when he gained new treasures through clever and tactful planning and partnerships.
After his downfall, when much of everything he once had and cared for was taken away from him, his collectible items were reduced to very little and he came to consider the very fact he was still alive to be a treasure. His perception on life and many other things came to change and he believed they took their final turn on the day he met Canada aka Matthew Williams.
The younger man made him laugh again and enjoy life for what it was worth. He found a renewed passion for teasing Austria and for barging in on world meetings just for the sake of entertaining Matthew.
He renewed old friendships which he let die down out of self pity and the flame in his eyes returned gradually.
At the end of it all, after everything was said and done, his greatest treasure came to be Matthew Williams himself for the simple fact the man saw him for whom he was, with all his faults and shortfalls, but still came to love and appreciate him.
It was a lot more than he could say for others and Gilbert appreciated everything his lover did for him. And in moments when Matthew was sleeping beside him, he would comb his fingers through the younger man’s hair and come to these conclusions.
