Explanation

"Italy."

Italy jumped at hearing his name again. "Germany? Are you awake?"
He made his way into the dark living room and almost ran into Germany as he walked to the couch.

"Germany! You scared me! Was I being too loud? Did I wake you up? Is everything okay? Do you need something?"

All Germany did was blink at the questions the innocent/worried looking Italy asked him. After a few moments he finally shook his head. "Err, no I'm fine. I was just seeing what you were up to." He said.

"Oh! Good, well I was just going to get some cereal because I was really hungry, and when I came downstairs you were asleep and I wasn't sure if I should wake you up or not so I brought you a blanket and.. and... Uh..." He looked up at Germany, not being able to tell if he was following all this or not.

"So..uh...yeah.. You know.. I tried to make sure you weren't cold.. And all... Um..."

"I know."

"Huh?" Italy immediately looked back up at Germany, who was smiling slightly. Something he rarely ever does.

"I said I know" Germany repeated.
"But.. how? What do you mean?" Italy asked.

"Well, when you took that book out of my hands, it woke me up, only a little, but I woke up fully when you were upstairs."

"So you were... Pretending?"
"Yeah, I guess so.." Germany said

"But why?" Italy asked, looking up at Germany again, who was still smiling, only a tiny bit less. "Because, I wanted to see what you would do."
"Really!?" Germany nodded.

"Well...Are you hungry? That's what I was going to ask you.. When you were asleep.."

"Hmm, yeah, I actually am," He said. "But what are we going to eat? It's too late to make or even eat anything."

Why is it too late to eat?" Italy asked-he could feel his stomach starting to growl again.

"Because. It's just not healthy to eat right before you sleep."

"Oh.... Maybe we could watch a movie!" Italy exclaimed.

"What?"
"Yeah! since we both woke up from naps-" 

"I wasn't napping, I just fel-" 

"-and we're really not that tired, we could watch a movie and have some snacks while we're watching it!" Italy said while practically jumping up and down.

Germany again blinked, speechless about how Italy could just ramble on and on... Italy just giggled at the look on Germany's face.

"Well... I don't see why not... I guess.."
"Yay!" Italy beamed and jumped up and down more. "Alright we have popcorn right? You can't watch movies without popcorn!"

"Yeah yeah, there should be some in the pantry." Germany sighed

"Oh, and one more thing!" Italy said from inside the pantry. 

"Oh yeah? What would that be?" Germany asked, walking to were Italy was.

Italy popped out of the pantry, holding two small yellow packets in his hands.

"Hot chocolate!"
