I Have Loved You Since 900 AD (Hetalia FanFic) [HRExItaly/GerIta]

Chapter 5: Painting

"Hmm.. I want to paint something? What could it be?" Italy thought while preparing her tools. She saw a bunny hopping by the grass. "Ah! A bunny!" She said and started painting it.

After painting...

"Italy! What are you doing?"  Holy Rome questioned as he walks towards Italy. "I'm just painting a bunny!" Italy replied with a big smile on her face. "C-could you teach me how to paint?"  Holy Rome requested. "Ve~! Here's a canvas! Try to draw that bunny!" Italy said pointing the bunny.

After Holy Rome paints...

"My drawing iz zo awful!" Holy Rome said in embarrassment. "No. It's wonderful! Hmm.. Let me see... ah! The foot! You should fix the foot"  Italy pointed. "The foot?" Holy Rome said until Italy held his hands to guide him in painting. Holy Rome got surprised and escaped from Italy's hands and said, "I gotta go..." Holy Rome left feeling butterflies. "Huh?" Italy wondered.

A day later...

"Holy Rome, I would like you to wake Italy up before 8am, okay?" Austria ordered. "Si!" He responded. It's only 6:50am in the morning and Holy Rome wanted to go to Italy's room so he did. He saw Italy sleeping cutely beside the window. So many thoughts and compliments came to Holy Rome's mind which made him blushed. He roamed around Italy's room and saw the wonderful paintings Italy created. Then... he saw this one painting of Italy sleeping deeply behind the house painting. He took it and stared at it for few minutes,

"Italy, you're so cute. I love your cute and zweet face! How I wizh we could be together forever. (Pauses for a while.) But, why do you always runaway whenever I ask you to be one with me? I just wanted to know why. What if, one day, we have to leave each other for the good of both of us? I don't want that to happen! Or, maybe, we are not for each other? No! Don't say that Holy Rome! *sigh*, Italy, do you like me? Love me? I wish you do. That would be the greatest feeling ever. All I ever wanted was to be with you. Because, I have loved you since 900s."

"!!! It's already 7:50am! I have to wake you up now" Holy rome thought as he suddenly saw the ticking clock. He went closer to Italy, still holding the painting but is at his back, and said, "Italy, Mr. Austria told me to wake you up" Italy opened her eyes which alarmed Holy Rome to run out of the room before she saw the painting he got from her room.

"Mr. Austria..." Italy said as she went out of her room. "Italy, go clean the attic for me." Austria ordered. "Si" She responded and picked up the deck brush and went to the attic.

"Mr. Austria, where's Italy?" Holy Rome asked. "She's cleaning the attic" Austria responded while reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. "Did she ate her breakfast?" Holy Rome worried. "Obviously not" He replied shortly.

Hours later.. .

"Are there any foods in here? Pasta?" Italy asked to herself as she search everywhere in the storage room. She lifted a box open and said, "nothing here" Italy said in disappointment.

Holy Rome was walking down the hallway bringing a plate of gourmet foods. He suddenly saw the hungry Italy. "She's hungry, isn't she?" He thought. He went almost near Italy and placed the plate he brought on the floor. He hid immediately and peeked on Italy. Italy smelled the aroma and made her go towards it. "Grazie mille to whoever gave this food!" Italy thanked and took a piece iof food from the plate. She munches the food, but then... "Awful, erhh" she said as she tasted the food which disappointed Holy Rome. "I'm sorry, Italy" Holy Rome thought.
