The Courage of Italy

~8~

"Well everything is all set up, so he was here at one point." Chloe heard someone say, German lacing their tone, "So where the hell is Feliciano?"

"He's somewhere, maybe taking Chloe out for a walk." someone pointed out, "Lovi does it with Briana."

Chloe slowly opened her eyes as the chatter below her was becoming clearer. Something began to tickle her bare breasts as she stretched...realization came to her as she looked down to her chest. There laid Feli, still asleep against her naked frame as he too was bare to the world, and the meeting taking place right under the library overlook.

She gently nudged him awake, praying he wouldn't make a sound as her eyes searched for her clothes. His groggy head lifted up as he was attempting to protest her, she threw her hand to his mouth and placed a finger to her lips, telling him to be quiet.

"Well, we'll catch him up afterwards." she heard Arthur finally, "As of now, we need to discuss the patrols and boarders as of now."

She watched him grow wide-eyed as he realized the situation, trying to stifle a laugh. She, herself, was trying not to make it obvious of their location and the actions they had taken place just a while ago. She felt him pull her body towards the wall, attempting to press himself into it to hide from them as he gathered their clothes. Chloe couldn't help but smile as their predicament came forth, trying her best to be silent and dress was harder than it seemed. Feli smiled at her as he held something up to her.

"Frilly things." he whispered as he held up her panties.

She snatched them away before a set of giggles could escape her. Finally throwing on the last bit and fixing up her hair, she crawled her way over to the banister and looked over. There below was all the nations and capitals of the Axis and Allies, all deep in conversation of the war and what they should do next. Yet Feli paid no mind to them as his lips found her neck.

"Behave." she whispered intensely at him.

"As of now Genesis has sat back and been quiet." Alfred stated, "It's like they're waiting."

"The question is, for what?" Harper questioned.

"It is hard to say." Kiku replied, "They are quite famous for it."

"That is true." Marie agreed as Brie and Juliet nodded.

"So then, the real thing as of now is what do we do until then? We have made as much advancements as we can." Francis spoke up, "We continue on the path we are, we will have a full on battle on our hands."

"As hard as it is to stomach, I believe we should just hold ground until things are set." Yao stated.

"Right then. It seems that is what needs to be done." Ludwig said venturing to the board below her and Feli, "Now to discuss how the ships should move if deemed necessary."

A sudden grunt of pain echoed the room, causing the German to pause. Chloe looked around as everyone below did the same. The only things that stuck out was Brie hiding her smile, Lily looking extremely stern and Ivan holding back something as his hand covered his mouth. The silence lasted until Ludwig set the marker down.

"Alright, whatever tension is pent up, let it out." he announced.

"Malen'kaya zhena, please remove pen from my hand." she heard Ivan groan out.

Lily lifted her hand as Ivan pulled his to his chest, shaking it as he hissed in pain, "The next time you decide to be fresh under the table, don't do it with others in the room."

"But you have those one I like so much on." he whined.

"Later." she scolded him.

"Well, it looks like our little Russian can't keep a hold of his own desires-" Francis was just short as he gasped.
