Do You Remember? Germany x Italy

23. Fourth Day

I woke up around 8 from the ringing of my alarm clock. "Three-a more days..." The large German beside me didn't stir. He didn't get home until really late last night. It must have been hard with Russia. "Luddy." I lightly shook his shoulder. "Vhen did jou start villingly vaking up?" His eyes fluttered opened, slightly blinded from the light that peered through the curtains. I smiled at his remark. "I-a need to go-a to work." I sat up, rubbing my eye sleepily. "I'll make breakfast." He huffed as he sat up next to me. Why was he not surprised I had work?

~Flash back~
"Feli vhat are jou doing?" He asked as I tried to unlock the door to get inside. "Trying to-a get inside." I innocently looked at him. He would not like the fact that I'm working at a bar... I need to make something up. "I mean vhy are jou even outside the house?" "Meanie! Assuming I-a don't do anything!!" I stuck my tongue out at him, puffing my cheeks. He chuckled, "But seriously, vhat vere jou doing?" "I've-a been helping my brother out. He-a wants me to-a get off of my lazy ass and-a help him." I mocked my brother towards the end, copying his attitude and threw a hand on my hip, flipping my hair. "Vhat kind of impression is that?!" His laughter echoed in my head. It made me happy to see him laugh. I continued my impression. "CHIGI! Don't-a laugh at me you-a potato bastardo! I'm-a just a sassy man! Don't-a look down on-a me! Let-a me curse you out with-a all the rage problems I have until Spain contains me!!!" Germany clenched his gut, tears from laughter forming. "He vould kill jou if he saw this!" His voice squeaked in the middle of his sentence. Ludwig clasped his hand over his mouth, and I fell on the floor laughing. "Your-a voice!!!" I pointed at him, his cheeks becoming pink. "Ja ja vhatever." He turned his head as if it was hiding him. He helped me up then unlock the door, letting me in first. "Grazie Luddy!" I stood on my toes and pecked his lips.
~Flash back ends~

"I-a told you Luddy my brother wants-a me to help him! He-a will get angry if I'm-a late!" I yelled after him as Ludwig walked down the hall to the kitchen. I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at my reflection. My hair sticking up in funny ways (with the exception of my curl), my shirt and pants from Germany, my pink tinted cheeks, and my always open honey hazel eyes staring right back at me. I grinned at how stupid I looked and worked on fixing myself so I looked presentable. I wore my blue uniform to look official as if I was actually going to help Roma. I brushed my hair, squeaking when I brushed over the curl without thinking. I looked in the mirror one last time before I left, lightly clapping my cheeks and thought "This-a will be a good day." I walked downstairs to be greeted with a plate of pasta. "Grazie Luddy!" I sat down. The noodles weren't cooked all the way, and his sauce was bland, but I smiled anyway happy with knowing he thought of me while making this. He is much better with cakes.

Breakfast ended after our meal filled with stiff noodles and small talk. Germany got up to put the dishes away being the tidy man he is. I made my way over to the living room and looked at the floor by the couch. I felt arms wrap around my waist and a head rest on the top of mine. I slid my free hands down his forearms to his hands, intertwining my fingers with his. We stood together and looked at the single spot, with the same thought. I released my hands and turned in his arms so I could see his face. His cold blue orbs met my warm hazel ones. I placed my tiny hands on his chest and grabbed the cloth, avoiding eye contact. "Feli vhat's vrong?" He searched my face until he saw me biting my lip. "Jou always have to be so indirect." He smiled as he lifted my chin and placed his forehead on mine, our faces only centimeters apart. "I-a can't help it! It's-a embarrassing!" I pouted a bit. He leaned in and kissed me. My arms moved from his chest to around his neck while he moved his hand to cup my cheek, stroking it with his thumb. We pulled away from the sweet moment and grinned at each other. My watched beeped and I looked at it. "I-a have to go! I will-a see you later Ludwig!" "Are jou sure jou don't need a ride?" "No." He kissed my cheek and hugged me, "See jou later then." I hugged back, smiling in his chest, then pulled away, "See you-a later."
