Not as he seems (Hetalia Italy fanfic)

Part 4

Finally the next day came.

"Italy come here we have to go train come on," Germany was trying to drag Italy out of bed. "You're strong so show it for once and stop acting so lazy."

"But Germany I don't want to can't I just skip it ," Italy pleaded with the other nation while trying to crawl back into bed.

"No Italy you aren't weak so you have no reason to act like you are anymore." Germany continued to drag Italy out of bed.

"But I still don't want the other nations to know how strong I really am, Germany."

"They already do, the Allies told all of the other nations about what happened. So get out bed and start training!"

"What," Italy quietly mumbled,"they do?"

"Yes now come on."

All of the color drained out of Italy's face. The other nations couldn't know how strong he really was, then everyone would be scared of him. Italy was so focused on his own thoughts that he didn't realize that Germany had picked him up and dragged him outside to train.

"Italy start running." Italy just stood there still not wanting the other nations to know.

Italy stood still even when Germany yelled at him to start moving. At some point he gave up and just let Italy stand there. What with Romano think of me? What will Miss Hungary and Mister Austria think as well? What will everyone do when they see me again? Everyone will hate and fear me.

Before Italy new it Germany was pulling him to the world meeting. They opened the doors and everyone looked their way. Many of the nations looked scared of Italy. A few who known Italy longer than the rest gave questioning glances wondering if what the Allies said was true.

Italy sat down but suddenly was pulled back out of his seat and dragged back out by Romano.

"WHAT THE HELL WHERE THOSE ALLIES TALKING ABOUT!!! YOU TAKING DOWN RUSSIA AND BEING SUPER STRONG!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU NEVER TELL ME YOU IDIOT I'M YOUR BROTHER!?!?!?!

"Wait wait fratello calm down I just-"

"NO, NO WAY I AM NOT CALMING DOWN RIGHT NOW!!! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME THESE THINGS NOT HIDE THEM AWAY FROM ME ONLY TO FIND OUT THROUGH A GROUP OF BASTARDS I HATE!!!!! WHY, WHY ON EARTH WOULD KEEP THESE THINGS FROM!!!

"I'm sorry but-"

"NO SORRY DOES NOT BEGIN TO COVER IT!!!! HOW MUCH ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING FROM ME,HUH!!!!!

"Romano that's enough leave Italy alone." Spain came up behind Romano and tried to calm him down. "Italy probably has a good reason for keeping this from you just let him explain."

"Yeah fratello just let me explain"

Romano took a deep breath and some of the anger from his face faded."Fine, but you better have a damn good reason for hiding this from me."

"Thank you for calming down Romano."

"Yeah, yeah now just tell why."

Italy started to explain and when he mentioned just how strong he was his brothers face paled a bit. Oh no Italy thought now even my own fratello will be scared of me.

"So that's why," Romano said while looking to side a little shocked. "I still wish you would have told me."

"Well aren't you at least glad that you know now Roma~?"

"Don't call me that tomato bastard. But yes I am happier now that I know." Romano dragged Italy back into the meeting room and they both sat down.

Italy hates every second of the meeting. Everyone kept giving him scared and questioning glances the entire time, even Spain who seemed so calm about Italy's strength when he talked to his brother. The only one who didn't was Germany and that was because he was to busy trying to keep everyone in the meeting under control.

When the meeting finally ended he ran home and cried. "Why did this have to happen? Why can't they all just forget what happened and what they were told." Italy continued sobbing until an idea popped into his head. " Wait forget, that's it I can make them forget. Oh but how?"

Italy stayed in the same position for about five minutes before it came to him. "England I can just ask him to do it for me."

Italy ran off to England's house and knocked on the door.

"Yes who is it-" England froze. Italy he thought oh no what is he going to do me?

"Y-Yes Italy how can I-" he was cut off be the rambling Italian.

"I need you to make a potion for me. One for every nation, even yourself. I need one to make everyone forget my strength. Please I need you to do this for me. Not one person can remember how strong I am."

Italy looked up at England with pleading eyes. If I hadn't seen how strong he was first hand then he might look innocent right now England thought while Italy was muttering please please please please England please please. Then England realized that what he just thought was the reason that Italy kept his strength hidden, he never wanted to be feared. England remembered the looks on the other nations faces when they saw Italy even though he had never done anything that he should be feared for, well at least that they've seen. He couldn't help but feel bad for the Italian who hated to be feared. Maybe I should help him after all.

"Okay Italy I'll help you." England brought Italy inside and sat him down. "You said you wanted a potion to make everyone forget, right?"

"Yes," Italy responded. Is he not afraid of me anymore?

England thought for a bit," It will take a while to make so much of the same potion."

Italy sighed wishing that it could be made right away. "That's fine just get done as soon as possible."

"Of course."

England showed Italy out then went downstairs into the basement," Well, time to get started."
