HRE x Chibitalia : My Gift to You❄️

Chibitalia's POV

There wasn't much time left and I needed to finish wrapping everyone's gifts. Miss Hungary and Mr Austria invited all my friends and family over for one of my favorite holidays, Christmas! They decorated the house and cooked a wonderful meal, Mr Austria playing Christmas music for us all. Our guests would come any second and I was still folding big brother Spain's present.

After his, they were all ready, big brother Romano's, big brother France's, Miss Hungary's, Mr Austria's, and Holy Rome's. I blushed picking his up. I wished more than anything that it would make him happy, just like the way he makes me happy everyday.

I gathered all the gifts and laid them out under the Christmas tree. Walking back to my room I noticed Holy Roman Empire's door was opened. Thinking he was out, I decided to close it for him. But once over there, I noticed he was actually sitting on the floor, back facing the entrance, bent over something. I pushed the door wider and stepped in.

"Holy Rome, may I come in?" I asked waiting against the frame. He jerked up and whipped his head around in surprise. He breathed out and slouched his shoulders.

"Oh it's just you Italy," he sighed in relief. "Of course, come in..."

I closed the door after entering and sat next to Holy Rome. There was paper and ribbons everywhere. He was wrapping gifts too. Although he wasn't very good at it. There was a present covered with ripped paper and tied with in sloppy bow. I smiled and took the gift in my hands.

"Would you like me to help you?" I offered grinning. His face turned pink and he nodded. I undid the ribbon and unfolded the paper. "Look. You first need to lay the gift in the middle, then you fold right, then left. You keep it down and gold up and down. Here, put your finger there," I instructed reaching out for a ribbon. "Next, you wrap the ribbon around and tie it into a pretty bow."

I held the present up and set it on his lap. Holy Rome looked at it in awe.

"Wow," he whispered. "Thank you so much! Would you mind helping me with the others?" he asked excitedly. I giggled and accepted. We remained on his floor with ribbons and colorful papers all around us. We chatted and laughed while we worked. I had a great time with Holy Rome, but I noticed something. Of all the presents we wrapped I hadn't seen one for me. I felt a little disappointed thinking he might not care as much as I did.

Shaking my head, I rid myself of those thoughts. The principal wasn't receiving a present but giving one. As long as he was happy, I should be too.

"Let's put them under the tree," suggested the boy. I acquiesced and stood up, dusting off my dress. I grabbed as many gifts as I could and went into the living room, depositing them under the green branches.

"Italy," said Mr Austria stepping into the room. I spun around and smiled, clasping my hands behind my back.

"Yes sir?"

"Could you give Hungary a hand in the kitchen please? Our invitees shouldn't take much longer," requested the older country. I nodded and skipped off to the kitchen just as Holy Rome entered the room.

I clapped in glee after hearing Romano's song with Spain, accompanied by Mr Austria playing the piano. My older brother crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks once sitting on the floor. Spain tried to calm the boy but he didn't listen. Miss Hungary gathered us all around the Christmas tree with a cheery laugh.

"All right everyone, we can now open our presents," she announced. We all shouted excitedly and ran towards the tree, Mr Austria and Miss Hungary watching us. Even though big brother France and Spain are their age, they were still very thrilled about the gifts for them.

I scouted for presents with my name on them, finding a couple beautifully wrapped gifts. I sat on the side and opened them, just like the others did. Cries of joy broke into the house as we received many loving presents.

I looked around to see everyone open their gifts and thank each other. I smiled as a warm feeling flowed through me. Someone patted my shoulder and I turned around. Holy Rome was standing timidly with his hands around his back.

"H-here, you forgot this," he muttered giving me a present. It was not very nicely wrapped, but better than the one I had seen before. I gladly accepted it with a beaming grin. I wasn't expecting one from him!

"Thank you!"

I opened the gift to see a red book. I flipped the pages and saw them all blank, except the last one. It was a very sweet drawing of me and Holy Roman Empire on a flowery hill. On the bottom of the page was written "Thank you for making me feel warm, content and joyous everyday."

With the sketchbook was a beautiful white hair tie. I gasped taking it in my hand. It was laced with astonishing designs and patterns. I set the gifts aside and jumped to his neck, embracing him tightly.

"Thank you so much!" I whispered delighted. He tensed at my grasp but slowly relaxed, wrapping his arms around me as well. We ended up staying entwined with each other a while until I remembered something. I pushed him away and gazed into his eyes.

"Did you get my present?" I blurted out gleefully. He stood still confused. He pointed to himself.

"Y-you got m-me a present?" he asked in disbelief.

"Why of course! It's right over here!" I ran over to the tree and picked up his gift. I handed it to him. He took and opened it. On his face was displayed fondness and happiness. He picked up the small doll I had crocheted. It was his favorite white rabbit with black ears. He smiled and hugged me, the doll still in his hand.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

We let go and joined everyone else listening to Mr Austria playing the piano one more time. We sat on the floor with the others. I rested my head on Holy Rome's shoulder and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere.
