Countries (A Hetalia Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16: Talkin' Love With Roman Empire

Germany's P.O.V.

I shovel a mouthful of Italian Fettuccine Alfredo that Romano made into my mouth.

Natalia looks over at me and smiles at my antics. I quickly swallow the pasta and smile back probably looking like a Scheiße Kopf (Shit head) in the process. She laughs and we continue to eat.

"Natalia do you have any a siblings", Italy asks her as he looks over to Romano.

Her face hardens into an unreadable mask.

I swear she's harder to read than mother Russian himself. I think to myself.

It was true though her mask was flawless with no cracks in her barrier. She may have acted as a optimistic person but I knew she was going through more than she'd ever admit.

"I used to", she says.

I send Italy a look telling him not to question her farther but of course he doesn't listen.

"Used too"?

"I had a little sister but she has passed", she admits.

"I'm a sorry", Italy says sadly.

At this point everyone was listening to what the captivating new country had to say.

"How'd she pass if you don't mind me asking", Britain asks.

"Car accident along with my father", Natalia says.

"And your mother", he asks careful not to offend her.

"Dead when I was born".

"Oh"....

"But hey they're in a better place", she says smiling brightly.

I couldn't tell if the smile was real or forced. It was hard to tell with her she was so good at concealing herself.

Just then things get a bit awkward for a couple seconds but Spain is able to start the talking up again.

I watch Natalia get up and go upstairs my curiously gets the better of me and I follow after her.

She goes into her room and I decide to let her be. I go out into my room and sigh. I go outside of the balcony connected to my room and another one of the rooms next to mine.

I'm surprised to see Natalia already out in the balcony.

She must be the other room connected to the balcony, I think to myself.

I walk up and stiffly stand next to her. She's silent just watching the stars in the sky.

"Hello", I say tensely.

She looks at me and offers a small smile, "Hi".

"I bet your wondering what happened", she says referring to her family.

I had to admit I was curios so I slowly nodded yes.

"Well my mom was shot while she was pregnant with me. They were able to save me but she didn't make it. And my father and sister they died in a car accident because of a drunk driver", she says.

"What was your sister's name", I ask carefully.

"She was seven and her name was Clary", she says smiling slightly.

"What about you Germany"?

"My father was Germania and my mother I do not know", he says.

"Any siblings"?

"Prussia and some others", I answer simply.

The wind picks up making her golden hair fly in the wind. We are silent for awhile but it isn't an uncomfortable silence.

I don't what makes me do this but I put a a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looks up a bit surprised making her aqua marine eyes sparkle. I smile at her and she smiles softly back.

"Germany Germany I'm a tired", Italy says bursting into the bedroom we shared.

I flinch at the outburst making Natalia laugh lightly.

"Goodnight", she says walking back to her room.

"Goodnight", I say after her.

I walk back in the room to see Italy collapsed on his bed snoring loudly. I chuckle as he mutters something unintelligible in his sleep

I take a shower and get dressed in my pajamas. I lay down in my bed and close my eyes. I immediately fall into a dreamless sleep.

I wake up about an hour later feeling a presence in the room.

I shoot up in bed bringing out my handgun from underneath my pillow.

"Who's zhere", I ask gruffly.

I see movement in the shadows of my room and I aim my gun to where the movement caught my eye.

"I vill shoot come out", I say.

A person emerges out of the shadows.

"Roman Empire", I say disbelievingly.

He hasn't visited me for awhile.

"Ah still a sleeping alone I see", he says smiling regretfully.

I feel a prick of pain spread through my chest. I had pushed everyone away and it was an extremely touch subject.

"Ja", I say slowly trying to hide the pain in my voice.

Being alone hadn't bothered me much but ever since I met....Someone it beyond bothered me.

His eyes widen for a second and he walks over to me and grabs my jaw.

"Vhat are you doing", I yell thrashing under his iron grip.

"Hold a still", he says.

I sigh but obey him.

He suddenly let's go of my jaw and smiles so big I think it'll break his jaw.

"Vhat", I ask surprised at his actions.

"Hahah I a knew it as soon as I a saw you", he says dancing around the room.

"Vhat"! I say once again but louder.

"You are in a love. But I don't a understand why you'd settle for one. I mean I didn't sometimes I had a five at a time", he says as he stops dancing.

"I'm not in love"! I exclaim.

"Denial", he sings out

My cheeks get red and I face palm. I wasn't about to admit anything.

"Who is she! Is she a pretty? No she's a probably a gorgeous to have a melted your a virgin heart" , he says pondering over this.

"I'm not a virgin"! I yell a bit too loudly.

"I didn't want to know that dude", America yells from his room.

"Ohohoh", I hear France chuckle from the room he was in.

"Who are you even talking too"! Austria asks from the room he's in.

"Uh no one", I yell.

"Then shut up"! Turkey yells from his room down the hall.

"Uggg", I say putting my head in my hands.

I pick my head up to see Roman Empire is nowhere in sight.

Uh oh, I think to myself.

"Roman Empire", I say quietly.

I flip around to see him looking down on Italy from Italy's bed.

"My grandson he's a so cute", Roman Empire coos lovingly.

I face palm and lay back on the bed.

"Who is she", Roman Empire says suddenly appearing over me.

"No one", I groan.

"I promise I wont a tell and if you won't a tell me then I'll have to ask a every person here if they know", he warns.

"Fine", I sigh sitting up.

Just then I can feel all the feelings that I had held back for a couple weeks now.

"Natalia"....
