Finding Love (China x Female Reader x Japan)

A Purr-fectly Chaotic Morning

An unsuspecting Italian man was walking through the dark hall at midnight, carrying a plate full of freshly-made pasta back to his room.

He gleefully made his way down the corridor when suddenly a mysterious light coming from behind one of the doors distracted him.

"Ve~?"

He quietly walked towards it and carefully peeped in.

"V-Ve~?! What is- Aaaaah!"

The mysterious light engulfed him and the entire corridor in its blinding light. A few moments later, the light died down and every evidence of the occurence disappeared, including the Italian man.

The next morning, I woke up and went down for breakfast, only to find everyone searching around for someone.

"Italy?? Where are you?"

Huh? Did Feliciano go somewhere without saying?

"Bastard brother, where the hell did you go??" I found Lovino almost on the verge of tears while angrily calling out for his brother.

"Lovino, what happened?" I went up to him.

"Bella! Veneziano suddenly disappeared last night!!" he said.

Wait, what?

"What do you mean by that, Lovino?" I enquired him, worried.

"He told me he was going to make pasta and take it to his room. But today when I checked, he wasn't there and neither was any trace of pasta," he gritted his teeth, trying to supress his worry.

I put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure we'll find him," I assured him with a smile.
"Bella..."

"Hey, guys! I think I found something!" Toris called out from the corridor.

We all hurried over to where he was and gathered around him.

"What did you find, Lithuania?" Alfred asked.
"Please take a look at this," Toris pointed at the edge of a door.
We looked closely.

There was a little pasta sauce stain on the edge of the door!

"Could Mr. Italy be inside?" Kiku wondered aloud.

"Only one way to find out!" Alfred stepped up to the door and opened it. The room was dark inside. With a gulp, the American nation went in.

We heard his footsteps inside till it became very faint after sometime. We waited a bit for him when suddenly we heard his shriek.

"Holy hamburger with a side of coke!!"

We were confused whether to be alerted or laugh from it. Soon, Alfred came out carrying something in his arms.

A cat!

"Uh, Greece? Can you look after your cats? I almost stepped on this one," Alfred said, annoyed.

Hercules looked at the cat closely then shook his head. "This isn't mine."

"Huh? Then where did this ca―"
"Wait!!"

We looked at Ludwig who had a terrified expression on his face. "This cat...look at him carefully."

He took the cat from Alfred and studied it carefully. "This cat...looks exactly like Italy!" he announced.

"Ve-meow~"

We stared at the cat in disbelief.

"Whaaaaaaat???"

"How did Venezueno change into a cat?? Are we going to change too??" Lovino freaked out.

Everyone started worrying about their fates and talked to each other about it. The corridor was filled with commotion by concerned countries.

Suddenly, the cat jumped down from Alfred's arms and ran through the corridor.

"Wait! Feliciano!" I called after him.

Some of us went after him to catch him. However, he was too fast and we lost track of him.

I looked around for him in a different corridor where another country was looking for him too. He had a princely aura about him and his clothes looked really different.

He noticed me looking at him and smiled. "Namaste." He joined his hands and bowed.

Oh, it's India! I was about to greet him back when a loud yell rang through the mansion.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL???"

It was Arthur's voice. India and I quickly went to the front gate where the voice came from.

Arthur was in a set of rock-styled clothes and was trying to throw off the cat that had grabbed onto his leg. Even after a few tries, the cat didn't budge.

"Whose bloody cat is this?" he scowled.

"Arthur, we think that might be Feliciano," I explained to him.
"What, love?!"

The blonde British finally picked up the cat and looked at it. His face drained of all colours when he realized it was indeed Feliciano.

"Ve-meow~"

Arthur slowly turned to us. "H-He became like that b-because...?"

"We don't know," I frowned.

"I-I see..."

"Are you behind this, friend England, da?" Ivan smilingly crept up behind Arthur and rested his big hands on his shoulders, turning him even paler.

"I-I-I..."

"Aiyah, so it was his doing all along," Yao let out a sigh.
"But how can he do it?" I asked him.
"Probably one of his spells, aru," he explained.

I never knew Arthur knows how to use spells. That was actually really fascinating.

"And where were you anyways?" Antonio asked him.

"I-I can explain. Last night, I wanted to visit a pub. But it was already late at night, so I decided to teleport myself there. After I reached there and had a few drinks, I fell asleep."

"And what about Italy? How did he turn into a cat? Tell us!!" Ludwig demanded.

Arthur cleared his throat nervously. "Maybe he was around the vicinity that time when I was performing the spell. Staying close to the caster can cast a different spell on you too."

That...sounded terrifying.

"So, will Feliciano remain a cat forever?" I asked, frowning.

"Ve-meow?!" Feliciano probably understood what I said.

"Oh no, love. He will turn back to normal by the end of the day," Arthur reassured.

We all sighed in relief.

Lovino took Feliciano from Arthur and stared at him. "I guess no pasta for you till then," he smirked.
"Ve-meow!!"

We laughed at their silly conversation. Hercules offered to help take care of Feliciano till he returned to normal. At last, everything settled down once again and we all went for breakfast together.
