17: Mission Accomplished

"You think it's someone we know?"

Reich looked up from his ice cream to the neko.

"I don't know," Italy shrugged. "maybe."

Reich also shrugged. "Do you think it has something to do with the disappearances at the office?"

Japan pointed at him with her spoon, as she was also eating ice cream. "Now that, is a good question."

Italy hummed, also eating his ice cream, he paused. "Well, everyone who's been attacked, or has disappeared, has been from our place." He nodded. "Literally every single one."

"So it has to be someone who works there." The neko hummed.

Reich nodded, and the three continued to eat their individual ice creams.

Italy had decided to run over with it, which led to them all sitting in JE's kitchen, eating the life threatening treat.

Reich waited a moment before he spoke again. "Have either of you heard from Soviet?"

"Nope." Italy said, JE shook her head.

Reich nodded and looked down at his frozen treat. "Did either of you hear the intercoms call him the other day thought? They were requesting him at the manager's office."

"Huh? I left work early, because of the email of course, but I didn't hear anything like that." The Italian nodded, remembering the day.

JE shrugged, "I'll text him for you."

"Okay, thank you."

The room went quiet again, Italy wanted to tease Reich about worrying about Soviet, he felt like it would be a bit inappropriate giving the circumstances, but he wanted to throw something in about it.

"Worried about your boyfriend?" The Italian said, he moved his eyes from JE to the German.

Reich shrugged. "He's not my boyfriend, but I haven't heard anything from him since.. well, that probably because I don't have my phone." The German thought. "But it's just a check in honestly." He continued. "I know you two are fine, why not make sure he's okay too?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, you two lovebirds miss each other, you don't need to hide it."

Reich blushed as Japan put her phone down. "I texted him, not sure if he's busy, but I'll tell you if he responds."

Italy suddenly laughed, shaking his head as he did so, "Goodness Reich, you should really go on vacation or something." He continued to shake his head. "Your life is such a mess dude."

Reich glared at him and forced out a very exaggerated laugh. "Haha Italy. Very funny."

The other man shrugged and walked off.

Reich rolled his eyes and the day went on.

Thought Reich didn't do much that day, he still felt exhausted.

His brain felt mushy with how much he was thinking.

He couldn't get the image of that man out of his head, he couldn't get Belgium out of his head. All the blood. So much blood.

He felt scared. Very very scared.

He didn't want to show his emotions to anyone thought. He didn't want JE to worry about him or try to make him open up about it. He wasn't sure if he could do that at the moment.

Every once in a while he would think about Soviet, he was still confused about his feelings for the other, but now he was just worried about him.

He wished the Russian was here. To protect him like he promised he would. And to give him cuddles and little kisses for the rest of the day, but that's just something Reich wanted.
