HRE x Chibitalia One-Shot: Surely Someday

I daydream in the falling snow

A young blonde male fell to his knees.

I wonder if, you've found somewhere to go.

He didn't know whether it was because of his exhaustion, or because of the piercing pain through his chest.

The ties that bind will always last

He felt tears come to his eyes, afraid to look down.

Withstanding time for love and friendships past

Not being able to stand it any longer, the young man looked down to his torso, and a flare of pain proceeded to spread from his chest.

Ah, we all make mistakes

He watched the blood from the sword wound he had just acquired run down his black robes.

It's all about the paths we take

He didn't have much time to live, and he didn't want to spend his last moments in pain.

Leave behind the pain you've known

Squeezing his eyes shut, the boy felt liquid running down his cheeks; it could be blood, sweat or tears, or maybe a mixture of all three.

And open up your heart so you can live and learn

As war raged around him, the boy began to cry; not your usual few tears, but more of a sob.
He'd broken his promise.

For surely someday
We'll be together once again,

"I promise that when the war is over, I'll return and see you again!"
He'd turned, and left.

I know that this is not the end,
we'll meet again, my friend

He'd been so determined to win at the start of the war. But now, he wasn't so sure.

And surely some way
I shall repay the love you gave

Opening his cerulean eyes, the boy remembered something and looked behind him to see the broom that she'd given him just before he'd left for the war.

Memories of you will never fade
I'll find a way to you someday

He held it in his arms and wept, as he continued to bleed to death.
After a while, he stopped;
The Holy Roman Empire had fallen, and the war ended, but the boy wouldn't be able to return to his love anytime soon.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A flower grows beneath the snow

A brown-haired child in a green maid's dress sat at a windowsill.

The frozen ice hides a life below

The feminine child watched as an older boy with purple eyes waved him to go outside.

But flames can warm the frigid air

As he went outside, the green-dressed child sat down in the grass and looked up, remembering what the older boy had said and wondered why the house was so deserted.

I hope our time brought hope in your despair

He hadn't seen Holy Rome for a while.

Ah, past the distant sky

He also remembered that everyone he knew thought he was a girl.

I see a world where lives collide

The older boy, Austria, may have been telling him to do something, but he didn't know or hear.

All that I have learned from you

Pulling his legs up to his chest, the child stared off into the distance, missing Holy Rome, and waiting for him to come back.

Will be enough to guide my heart and pull me through

He didn't understand that Holy Rome wouldn't be coming back.

*~*~*~*~*~*

For surely someday,
We'll be together once again

A young brown-haired man sat in a tomato crate, hiding from the dangers that awaited outside of his safe spot.

I know that this is not the end,
we'll meet again, my friend

As he sat, he suddenly found himself thinking about Holy Rome, and teared up a bit, even though it was so long ago.

And surely some way
I will repay the love you gave

When he heard the top of the crate open, he jumped out of the crate and begged the person outside not to kill him, because he had a gun.

Memories of you will never fade
I'll find a way to you someday

It had been so long since when he'd met who'd opened the box, and the man still was amazed about how much he'd looked like Holy Rome. They'd become good friends.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The time has come

The brown-haired man looked out at his old friend.

To say goodbye

He felt a tear dribble down his cheek as he turned the other way, hearing the shuffle of the blonde's boots as he turned the other way as well.

The road ahead waits

He wheeled around and slammed into the taller blonde, wrapping his arms around the other, who turned around so they faced each other in surprise.

So spread

"Goodbye, Germany," the shorter brunette whispered as he held the taller blonde tighter.

Your wings

The brunette let go of the taller man, and they both turned around, walking away in their separate directions.

And fly.
