Love after the war (Japan Empire x Fascist Italy)

Chapter 3: Stress with guests

Italy's POV:

Japan's dad called right the next morning after he took his week off. Soviet and Reich were talking extremely quietly with him, and that was odd. The only thing we heard clearly was from Third: "What the f*ck do you mean by that?!" He sounded angry and scarred. After the call, both adults didn't want to say a word about what they were talking with EJ, not even to Japan.

Neth came home and being the oldest and the most mature out of all of us, we immediately told him about it. Him being few years over 18, he had the best 'adult' relationship with our parents.

"Can you please go ask them about it?" Me and Japan begged him. Germany was also curious and worried, but he was... Well, a little more colder on certain topics and with people. That's why he has Poland to help him make contact with living being other than the ones in the same home as him.

"I guess I can, I'm interested too," Neth answered. He looked at Germany: "Broer (Brother), what's up with you? I know you're like that only when for family things. C'mon, dad's all good now, every man does mistakes, look at me. Indonesia really hates me, and so does many other countries. But that's the past."

"Ich glaube du hast recht... (I guess you're right...)" Germany answered.

"Okay, I'll go ask father and Soviet about your dad, Japan! I'll see you guys in a bit," Neth stood up from his chair. "Thanks, Neth!" Japan answered him.

Netherlands left the room, and I started reading an Italian book. It was quite interesting, a rom-com novel, really good one, it managed me to laugh very hard.

Almost half an hour later Netherlands returned to our room. "Did you find out anything? Is my dad okay? Is it bad? Can I continue watching my anime or should I worry for him?" Japan started questioning him. Neth sat down and looked at us with 'it's not terrible, but it's terrible' face: "Well, at first father and USSR didn't wanna tell me because they didn't wanna worry us, but after some arguing they told me that Japan's dad was dealing with some kind of a stalker. The guy came where he was camping and Japan Empire chased after him until he lost the sight of him. And that's basically it, but they're not sure about who it was. And you know that they're not exactly the most popular countries currently... Father and Soviet fear that the guy might be one of the allies or someone like that..."

We weren't that shocked or extremely worried, honestly. There were worst times. And he's Japan Empire. But we still sat in an uncomfortable silence, looking at each other.

Then the door bell rang. We heard the front door open and some new loud noises. Then people starting getting upstairs. There were sounds of around 5 or more footsteps.

Is it because of Japan's father? Is it because of Germany's and Neth's father? Or Soviet? Are they going to take us away? Are they-

"What's up, my beautiful friends!" Slovenia was the first and the loudest one to come through the door. Right after her were Kosovo, Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia, Bosnia's twin Herzegovina and lastly Serbia, clearly not wanting to even come.

Me, Japan, Neth and Germany sighed in relief.

"Heya, Japonska (Japan), what's up, Nizo (Neth), nice to see you, Nemčija (Germany) and how's my neighboring country Italija (Italy)!" Slovenia hugged each of us.

Croatia smiled: "You good there, Italy, you look like you've seen a ghost." Let's forget about my racing heart and huge crush I had for him.

"I'm fine, we're all good, just Slovenia's loud greeting scarred us," I answered and laughed it off.

"What brings you here, friends?" Japan asked. Macedonia told us: "Father (Yugoslavia) has something with Soviet Union, so he asked if we can come too, because he doesn't have a babysitter for us." "Like we need one..." Serbia said.
