Stay Strong Little Sister

Chapter 1

It was a pretty dark day with angry dark clouds in the sky rumbling with the sounds of thunder waiting to strike the earth. The birds weren't singing, only hiding in their homes trying to keep warm and dry. Aqua's mood usually depended on the weather since she was emotionally unstable. Her short blue hair barely touching half-way her neck with two long strands in the front and her bangs drooping to the right almost covering her eye. Her blue-gray eyes were almost blood-shot and on her mocha colored-skin you can see stains of tears that creeped out of her eyes as she continued walking to who knows where. She would've gone to her best friend Russia's home, but he had left to France for a World Meeting. Germany was gone and she has yet to know where in this world he could've gone to, but she knows he's safe since he called her yesterday. Basically all the nations were either at a World Meeting or off doing something that has to do with protecting their beloved homes. Why was Aqua crying? Why was she walking in the rain? Her heart was broken. She was destroyed on the inside and she has been acting this way for almost a whole week. Why? Prussia, her boyfriend, had gotten furious with her out of nowhere and stormed off and hadn't had the decency to call her and let her know that he was ok. Her black skinny jeans were completely soaked, her blue-green shirt with a very odd design, given to her by England, was wet from the rain and tears that she had shedded. Her boots, which looked like her big brother Italy's, were smeared with dried up mud and soot. The rain obviously wasn't making it better. She approached her big brothers' Italy and Romano's home and hestitately knocked on the door with a cold hand.

"Who the hell is that? Veneiziano go answer the damn door", Lovino grumbled as he stretched out his whole body after being interrupted by Aqua's repeated knocking. Feliciano jumped up like the happy-go-lucky man he is and bounded to the door. He opened the door and saw his little sister Aqua.

"Ve~ Ciao little sister Aqua! Look Romano it's little sister Aqua~!", Italy said happily not realizing that his blue-haired sister was shaking and plastering a fake smile on her face, not realizing it was very obvious that she had been crying. Romano jumped off the couch and hurried toward the door. His eyes widened in shock as he saw how horrible his little sister looked.

"H-hello b-b-big brother R-R-Romano", Aqua said shaking from the cold and still trying to have a big smile on her face. Romano's face went from shock to anger; he clenched his hands into fists and pulled his sister in the house. Italy bounced off to his closet to get his poor sister some new clothing to put on.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Romano yelled aloud. Aqua looked at her big brother seeing a flash of concern in his eyes, but was gone within a heartbeat so she wasn't sure what it was.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play that game with me!

"I'm not doing anything."

"Bull shit, Aqua! Why do you continue to lie to me?" Romano shrieked as his anger began rising more and more as his little sister continued to lie to his face about her feelings. The two continued to argue back and forth until Italy FINALLY came back with some clothes to change into.

"Ve~ here you go!" the happy-go-lucky Italian said as he plopped the clothes into his sister's arms. Aqua smiled at her loopy big brother and gave him a hug. On the other hand, Romano was not a very happy Italian at the moment. He put a hand on her left shoulder on Aqua and whipped her around placing his other hand on her right shoulder. He looked deeply into her chocolate brown eyes for what seemed like forever and finally spoke.

"This is about the Prussian b******, isn't it?" He said in a rather harsh tone since he had lost his temper with his stubborn little sister. Aqua's eyes widened as he finished that sentence. She felt tears trying to creep out of her eyes again and tried her best to hide it. She looked down at her feet, hiding her face behind her blue hair. Romano got furious and viciously shook her by her shoulders. Aqua dropped the clothes given to her by Italy and shut her eyes tightly.

"It is isn't it? What the hell did he do to you!? Tell me now Aqua Venezziano!" he screamed as he shook her. Aqua began to cry and grabbed his wrists trying to get him to stop shaking her. Italy was standing behind Romano trying to get him to stop shaking her by attempting to throw his arms around him to bring him down to the ground, but it was futile. Fed up with her big brother shaking and yelling at her, she finally spoke.

"YES! IT HAS TO DO WITH GILBERT!" Aqua shouted. Once Romano heard her breaking into sobs he gently let her go and pulled her into a hug. She sunk into her big brother's embrace causing the two siblings to fall to the ground. Her face was in his chest sobbing loudly, staining his nice tan uniform. He just held his broken little sister and began rubbing her back in big circles, just as he had done when she was a little girl. Italy sat down next to them and began to pat the blue haired girl's head, which then led to him petting her like a cat. She didn't care though, all she needed was comfort and she was receiving it by her two big brothers who cared about her more than anything in the world. Her sobs slowly began to turn into little sniffles and heavy breathing. Romano picked up his little sister's head by caressing her cheeks with his two hands and gave her a kiss on her forehead. This shocked Aqua since he rarely kissed her forehead.

"Go and change sorellina, we'll talk about this when you're ready to talk, ok?" Romano said with a hint of softness in his voice.

"Ve~ don't worry, we'll make the pain go away~!" Italy said giving his little sister a warm smile trying to make her laugh. Aqua cracked a slight smile and chuckled.

"Ok... oh and forgot to tell you two something..." she said in a hushed voice. Aqua motioned her two brothers to come closer and quickly pulled them into a hug. Both brothers were shocked for a second but then just hugged her tightly. She then whispered into their ears: "Ti amo fratelli maggiori..."
