"Holy Roman Empire..."

///Third Person PoV///
"Oh..." Italy managed to say under his breath. 'Is it really him? What should I do? How should I act?' Those were the thoughts of the Northern Italian.
Taking a step closer, the man cloaked in black spoke, "Long time no see, Italy."
"Y-Yeah. Um, I...I mean, I..." Italy started rambling nervously, pitching his voice in a higher, more childish tone.
Sighing, the blonde man looked at the Italian. "Italy."
"What?" the brunette asked, fidgeting a little.
The man in the black uniform smiled at him warmly. "You don't have to talk to me as if we were still children. I know everything."
After a long pause, Italy's eyes glimmered. "...Okay. Long time no see...Holy Roman Empire." Italy said in his normal voice. Though, the way he said it was as if he was out of breath. How could he not be breathless, anyway? Right there in front of him, was that man.
He was more than breathless.
Holy Roman Empire nodded, smiling at the fact that he was recognised. "Yes."
"You're...all grown up." Italy pointed out, still unsure of what to say and what to do. It had been such a long time.
He had waited for such a long time.
Gazing straight into his eyes, Holy Roman Empire responded with a strange glint in his eyes. "Because you wished so."
"What?"
"This is a place where wishes are fulfilled. There was no way I could win against that guy when I was little. That's why I asked you for that favor, Italy." Holy Roman Empire explained, gesturing at their surroundings.
Tilting his head, Italy spoke, "...Was it you who showed me the way just now?"
Holy Roman Empire nodded. "Yes. I was able to repel it somewhat, but not completely...I'm sorry." he told him, giving an apologetic expression.
Waving his hands in front of him, Italy tried to lighten up the conversation. "N-no! It's okay! Um..." HRE couldn't help but give a questioning look.
"Th-This is kinda awkward for me. You being a grown-up, I mean." Italy confessed in a soft voice.
"I can imagine. If you don't like it, you can wish for me to be little again. You would probably feel more at ease with my younger self." HRE suggested.
Italy shook his head and looked away. "Ve?! Uh, n-no! I mean, this is definitely awkward, but... How can I put this...?" he paused for a moment and tried to look for the right words to explain how he felt. Slowly, he looked at Holy Roman Empire once more. Seeing the caring look in his eyes made him realise what he was feeling. "I'm glad that I can look at you in the eyes without having to look down."
HRE placed a hand over his mouth and chuckled lightly. "I see. That's good."
"So, where are we?" Italy asked.
"Hm? Oh...right. Sorry, but we're keeping them waiting. Let's go back first." HRE replied, pointing behind him.
Italy started to look ahead. "Who are you talking about?"
