Italy, together and apart

Jealousy

  I wake up in the dark, wrapped in something warm. I move my head and notice Russia has left. I sit up, immediately yelping and laying back down from the pains in my hips and back. I look at what I'm wrapped in and smile a bit. It's his coat. He's actually a good guy. He didn't wake me up and he made sure it was dark in case I did wake up with my hangover. That's really sweet. I spot something on the table next to the bed and reach over to grab it. 'I will be outside if you need me just yell for me, I will be able to hear you. Take the pills on the table, they will help with the pain -Russia' I put the note back and see the cup of water by the bed with a little bowl, probably containing the pills. I look at the bowl, suspicious for a bit until I notice that they are just pain pills. He's my fiancé, he wouldn't do anything bad to me. I take the pills as he told me to and relax in the bed for a while, cuddling his jacket.
  My mind soon wanders and I start thinking about how I didn't go home last night without telling my brothers where I was. I try to get up, forgetting about my hips and yelping. Ve, how stupid can I get? I call for Russia, only waiting a minute for him to open the door and peek inside. "You called, da?" I nod and stay down.
"Ve, Russia, I never told my brothers where I was last night and they are probably worried, but I can't get up. I'm still hurting." He smiles at me and walks into the bedroom, sitting on the bed next to me.
"You want me to call your family?" I nod and he kisses my forehead. "Did you take the medicine?" I nod again and he leaves.
  I sit alone in the silence for a couple hours before noticing I'm fully dressed. He even dressed me this morning without me noticing...I yawn and close my eyes. Maybe I should go back to sleep. Just as I start to drift off, Romano bursts into my room with Seborga. "Are you okay, Veneciano?!" He yells. I nod and flinch.
"Ve~Stop yelling, my head hurts. I'm fine. I just wanted to stay here last night." Romano looks on the brink of tears.
"I'm so glad you're okay..." He hugs me and Seborga just smiles from the doorway. Spotting Russia in the hallway, I call for him to come in and Seborga moves to make way for him.
"Romano, Seborga, I'm okay so you can both go home now, I will be back either later today or tomorrow afternoon. I really want to go back to sleep and you both look tired as well." They nod and say their goodbyes before leaving me and Russia alone.
"What do you want me in here for?" I pull him into the bed and cuddle him.
"Help me fall asleep, please." He stays for a while and I end up asleep just like before.
  Hours pass before I wake again. My hip pain is bearable so I decide to get up and go to the livingroom. Russia is standing in front of the door, blocking my view. I can hear mumbling and distant yelling. "Ve~ Russia, who's here?" I walk closer and he turns to me.
"Germany." He says. I tilt my head and try to peak out the door. He blocks my view once more and tries to lead me back to the room I came from.
"Ve, what's he here for?" Russia's smile fades a bit before he speaks again.
"We were talking about personal affairs that are now done with." I nod and feel a bit upset deep down. I pull Russia down for a kiss, but just as our lips touch, my phone goes off. I part from the kiss and go to the phone.
"Excuse me." I answer the phone and recognize the voice on the other side of the line to be Germany's.
"Italy, you can't marry him! Please don't do this!" I look at the ground and sigh.
"Ve, Germany, I really don't think you should call me anymore. I'm sorry. Goodbye."
"Italy, wait! Don't hang--" I cut him off and hang up on him, turning the phone off and going back to Russia. Germany brings pain into my life and I should let him go, but it's so hard to forget him when I love him this much. I wrap my arms around Russia's neck as I kiss him and pull him into the chouch.
"So eager midday?" He asks, motioning to how I pushed him into the couch and got on top of him. I blush and get a better understanding of what I did. I nod slightly and look down at him. "If you want, I can stay like this and let you do as you please. You seem like you want me to."
"It doesn't matter much to me, actually...." He smiles and flips me over, kissing my lips before my neck. He leaves behind hickies and runs his hands all over my body.
  He's just trying to rile me up!!!! I make soft sounds as he bites me. Just as soon as I get impatient and get his jacket off, he moves back and leaves the room. I watch him go outside and stare at the door in disbelief. What the hell was that?! Idiota! Bastardo! I get off the couch and follow him outside, watching his every move from a distance.  That was foul play...I'm going to get him back! I grab my jacket and set out for town.
  It's colder in Russia than at my place, so I make sure I will be back before 5 pm. I set out, ordering special vodka, some pills, and a ring all for Russia. On my way to the church, I spot Germany and decide to spy on him. His face is tinted pink as if he had been crying. Why is he walking into a jewelry store? I get a closer look and decide to walk inside. He is looking at rings and he's too busy picking one out to notice me watching him. He finds one he likes and I feel a bit upset. He must have found a woman to marry. I should feel happy for him. I leave the store and go to the church, as I originally intended to get a blessing from the priest. After I get what I want, I leave and set off to Russia's house again. I turn my phone on and it instantly goes off. I answer it immediately at put it to my ear.
"Ciao, Italy here." Germany's voice is on the other end.
"Look, Italy, don't hang up. I have something I want to tell you and I would really appreciate it if you would meet me to listen to me." I sigh softly and keep walking.
"Fine, where do you want to meet and what time?" I hear his voice crack and his throat clearing.
"Tomorrow at 5 pm at my place." He says. "Thank you, Italy, it means a lot to me!" I smile a bit.
"Ve, goodbye, Germany. I will see you tomorrow." I hang up the phone and run the rest of the way to Russia's house. He is sitting on the couch in the livingroom, waiting for me obviously. I set the bag of things down and look at the other person in the room. It's a human...Russia pats the couch next to him and I sit next to him.
"I decided I should get a contract signed before we have the ceremony. I know it's early, but then it's easier to get on with life, da?" I nod and look at the human. "I've already signed, after you sign, we will be married officially." I take the pen and sign the paper, handing it back to the human who looks it over and puts it in a folder.
"Ve~ we are married now?" I ask. He smiles at me and the human leaves.
"Yes." I pick up the bag.
"I bought you some things we can use to celebrate! I will be right back." I go into the kitchen and pour two glasses of the vodka, putting two pills in one glass. I bring the glasses back and set them on the table along with the bottle it came in.
"Good pick, Italy. This brand will get you drunk in seconds. It's good." I smile and take out the ring from my coat pocket.
"I also got you this. I hope you like it." He looks at it and puts it on his ring finger.
"I love it! It fits perfectly, da?" I grin and raise my glass, cheering with him and making a toast before drinking. I make sure not to drink the whole glass until Russia's pills start kicking in. He actually seems drunk, but I know it's just the drugs. He leans over and kisses me softly at first, getting rougher with each passing second. I pull away and set my glass down, taking the pills and hiding them before going to a random spare room in his house.
"Goodnight, Russia." I try not to grin to much and lead him on. "Ti amo." I close the door and strip, laying down. This should take about 10 seconds. 10...9...I wonder if he suspects me? 8...7...6...what if he doesn't come in here? 5...4...3...he will. I know he will come in. 2...1...0. The door opens slowly and he walks to the edge of the bed, right on schedule. He takes off his clothes and I pretend to be asleep. He gets in the blankets behind me and kisses my shoulder and neck. I move around only a little bit so he thinks I actually fell asleep. I open my eyes slowly and turn to look at him. "Ve~ what's going on? Is something wrong?" He shakes his head and devotes himself to getting me into the mood which, by the way, doesn't take long.
  He wraps his arms around my waist and I smile, turning to face him. I guess even drugs and mind tricks work on Russia. All of a sudden, there is banging on the door. I get up and get half dressed before walking to the door since Russia would take much longer. I open the door to France and Spain. They both seem to have not paid attention during the world meeting and nobody would tell them what happened. "Ve, you guys, I got engaged at the world meeting." They both gasp and I look at them weird. "Why did you come to Russia's house to find me in the first place?"
"Well, first we went to your house, but Romano said you are over here so we came here. But, Ita-chan, why are you here?" Spain asks me. I blush and look them both over.
"Romano didn't tell you I accepted Russia's proposal?"  They both tense up and shake their heads. "Yeah, we just signed a marriage license like 20 minutes ago."
"Ita-chan, we didn't get to throw you a bachelor party!!" France yells. I nod and shrug.
"Ve~ that sucks." They grab my arms and pull me outside.
"Come on, it's party time!" Spain grins as they pull me away from the house. Sorry, Russia!
