Germany set the tooth brush gently back on the sink, he looked in the mirror dark rings surrounded his eyes, as of late he had not been sleeping well at all and it clearly showed as he stared at his reflection, his dreams had been weirdly of a younger France, with a malicious look upon his face with a sword in his hands raised to pierce him, a deep feeling of sadness would oddly overcome him and then it would switch to a girl in a green dress laughing happily and running towards him and embracing him in a hug, a faint scent of paint and daisies would greet his senses and then after the girl placed a flower crown on his head, it would switch back as Frances sword came down to strike the final blow, at this point Germany would shoot up in a cold sweat and for the rest of the night he would sit and ponder why he kept having these dreams ,he sighed running a hand down his face
"Maybe tonight I will be able to get some sleep " he thought to himself as he switched the light off in the bathroom and made his way to his bedroom
Germany climbed into the bed and pulled the covers over himself he quickly fell asleep, he found himself in a meadow a breeze greeted him making the nearby flowers sway gently.
"Ah Holy Rome my son how you've changed " a deep voice said behind him, Germany whipped around there stood a man who looked very similar to himself from the crystal blue eyes and platinum blonde hair reaching to the man's shoulders to the sturdy build, Germany knew immediately who's presence he was in
"Germania how " he questioned a bit in shock, making the Ancient Nation chuckle at the confusion of his son
"I have been allowed to visit you, to return memories that are rightfully yours, that were lost to death, memories that appear to be trying to return to you" Germania spoke gently
"But I have never died" Germany said confusion evident in his voice
"Yes you have my son, but before we get to that I need to start at the beginning, come walk with me" Germania said motioning to follow which Germany did
"Germania what do you mean by at the beginning?" he questioned and Germania gave him a small smile
"Let me start, it was a normal day for me making sure my country was doing good and making sure trouble or problems were swiftly dealt with, then Greece came charging into my home and dumped a bundle in my arms with great fury and quickly turned on her heel and left I stood there in pure shock for a few moments before a whimper brought me back to my senses so, curiously I peered into the linen bundle in my arms and a pair of crystal blue eyes so much like my own stared back at me a fluff of platinum blonde hair a top the head it was a baby boy I had another son, other than Prussia and England of course, and he was to me perfect in every way" Germania had a fond look on his face as they walked through the meadow, which seemed to have no end
"Who was the baby Germania?" Germany asked though, he already had a feeling of who it was
"That baby was you my son, your first personification was that of the Holy Roman Empire, I watched as my own land began to transform into yours despite my best efforts, I got to see you as a physical 12-year-old and I knew that my time had come, I peacefully disappeared and watched from above as the next few centuries passed and you allied yourself with the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, but that did not matter to you" Germania gave Germany a soft gentle smile as he continued " no, there was a maid in a soft green dress, with the most beautiful golden amber eyes, which she kept closed most of the time, and bright Auburn hair that seemed to glisten when the sun hit it, but the fact that you did not know, that that little girl was a boy, Hungary dressed him that way because she could and she found it cute, really the young boy didn't mind though as he was only there as the maid of the house doing chores and other things that Austria and Hungary ordered him to do, his country was under the control of them after all" Germania said waving a hand and Austria's house appeared, but not as Germany remembered it, it was bigger and a stone wall surrounded it Germania waved a hand to follow
"This is nothing more than a memory, they can't see or hear us" Germania explained as they walked through the open archway leading into a courtyard
Germany saw a young boy in a dress sweeping the cobblestone floor with a push broom much bigger then himself
"This must be the one Vati was talking about" he thought to himself as he watched the young boy sweep, curiously a curl so familiar to Germany stuck out from the scarf holding the boy's hair back.
"Italy!" a voice called, making Germany turn to see a much younger Hungary standing there a bucket in her hand
"That's Italy?" Germany questioned in disbelief, Germania nodded
"After Rome disappeared, he was tossed around, until Austria and Hungary got control of his lands, he had a rather harsh upbringing " Germania explained
Germany turned back to the young boy, who had turned around at the call of his name, Germany couldn't believe it, this hard working little boy was Italy
"It's no wonder Italy is the way he is, he never had a chance to be a child" Germany thought to himself
"Yes Ms. Hungary?" the young Italy questioned with a surprisingly gentle squeaky voice, Germany could now understand why everyone had mistaken Italy for a girl when he was younger
"Austria would like to speak with you we have a new ally that he would like you to meet" Hungary responded, Germany watched as Italy nodded and gently picked up the push broom with both hands, a small smile of amusement appeared on Germany's face, Germania and Germany followed the young Italian as he walked with it into the house and set it against the wall, dusted himself off and walked into the main hallway and went to a door knocking a voice clearly recognizable as Austria answered with a
"Come in"
The young Italy opened the door and walked in and gently shut it behind him Germany watched as Italy curtsied
"You wanted me to meet our new ally sir?" Italy questioned not looking at Austria keeping his head bowed
"Austria was rather cruel to Italy, compared to Me Hungary" Germania rated explaining why Italy had his head bowed, this made Germany grit his teeth in anger
"Yes Italy, this is the Personification of The Holy Roman Empire, his country and mine have reached an agreement to be allies to each other and so, he will be staying with us during this time" Austria stated, motioning to someone it was only then that Italy dared look up he saw the 12 year old standing next to the desk, Germany's eyes widened in absolute surprise, there was no denying it for him, from the platinum blonde hair peeking out from under the large hat on top of his head, to the cold crystal blue eyes that observed Italy closely, this was his younger self.
"You were so cold and ruthless before you met Italy, but over the years something changed inside you, because of him, you were reduced to a school boy whenever you were around him, shy and awkward, gave me quite a surprise when you asked him to dance at the Gala held to celebrate the 20 years of Austria and you being allies" Germania smiled as they walked to the ballroom and entered
A couple hundred people mingled around, it was clear that it was a couple centuries ago from the dreadful fashion before him, Germania smiled as the young Germany strode across the room with his hair slicked back, the black outfit he wore was not to different from the one he wore every day, Germany looked to where the younger version of himself was heading, his breath caught as he saw the younger Italy, who was in a red dress a necklace with a bright red ruby pendant held there with a silver chain was around his neck, his hair had a crown of red flowers nestled in the auburn hair, to Germany even at this young age Italy looked absolutely beautiful, the younger him walked up to the young Italy and bowed holding out his hand
"Ms. Italia may I please have a dance with you?" he timidly asked
Germany watched as Italy gave a soft smile and took the hand and curtsied
"Of course Mr. Holy Rome "
His younger self stood up straight, a gentle smile was now adorning his face, as he led the young Italy to the ballroom floor, Germany heard a gentle piano melody strike up, accompanied by soft violins, Germany watched as the two began to sweep across the floor, seemingly lost in their own world, not noticing others that had stopped to watch the two dance, Germany heard people mumbling different things
"Ah finally the young Lord has found someone he fancies"
"They are definitely in love look how in sync they are as they dance to the melody"
"Soon I don't doubt they'll be betrothed to one another"
"Wow she's absolutely stunning, no surprise she's caught the heart of the young Lord "
"You two were in love with each other but, over the next few centuries it was just a game of cat and mouse as neither one of you could muster up the courage to confess" Germania said gently, as he waved his hand and the room changed back to the meadow
This time the young him was in front of canvas trying to paint a rabbit, compared to Italy's however, it looked like a kindergartners drawing, Germany watched though, as Italy noticed this got up and gently took his younger selves hand into his own a noticeable blush appeared on his younger selves face as Italy showed him, by guiding his hand, how to make the drawing look a little bit better, again the scene changed to them lying down in said meadow, fast asleep Italy was curled up against his younger self, who subconsciously had wrapped his arms around the young Italian, a gentle smile adorned both of their face's, then Germania waved his hand and again another ball was before Germany and Germania, this time Italy was wearing a Deep emerald colored dress a string of pearls was around his neck his auburn hair was carefully framing his young cherubic face, again to Germany he looked stunning.
"This was the last ball to be held to celebrate the Holy Roman Empires Formation Anniversary " Germania said a sadness evident in his voice" This was the last one before war broke out"
Germany's eyes widened as he recalled this, he watched his younger self ask Italy to dance again and again Italy accepted and they danced like they were in their own world sweeping across the ballroom floor Italy's dress flaring out as his younger self gently twirled him in time with the melody of the orchestra, but this time when they went to separate, Italy leaned in and gave his younger self a kiss on the cheek, Germany touched his own cheek recalling the bright red blush that had appeared on his cheeks, even now a dusting of pink appeared on Germany's cheeks, how could he forget such an important day, the day he realized that he had fallen for Italy, Germany brought his hand to his face as he recalled pretty much everything accept one thing.
"Germania, what separated me and Italy?" Germany questioned
"War, even though you loved Italy you could not prevent France from coming after you, along with the fact you wanted to become a mighty Nation to rival that of the Roman Empire, you asked Italy to help you in this goal, but he did not accept because he had watched his grandfather basically wither away due to the strain of his empire and he did not want to see you or anyone suffer that again, but you still pursued it" Germania answered, waving his hand the courtyard appeared
A massive army was filing out, Germany spotted his younger self standing next to two Generals, he said something to them and they walked away with the army, he saw him look back sadly at the house before beginning to follow the army out
"Holy Roma wait please!" Germany suddenly heard the tiny voice of young Italy call out as he ran out from the house
"Italia?" his younger self questioned, as the young Italian embraced him in a tight hug
"Please don't go, please " the young Italian begged
"I am so sorry Italia; this isn't preventable France is encroaching on my land of which I need to defend" his younger self comforted
Germany watched as the young Italy nodded his head sadly
"Here, something to remember me by till you come back Holy Rome"
Germany watched as Italy handed the push broom to his younger self, who clutched it close then stored it on his nearby cart carefully, before going back over to the young Italy
"Italy, w-what do they do in your land to show that they like someone? "Germany barely heard his younger self ask and for the first time young Italy opened his eyes
"Kiss I believe wh-"
Germany's eyes widened as his younger self had cupped Italy's cheeks and pulled him in for a deep kiss, he watched as Italy's eyes widened, then closed tilting his head as Holy Rome placed his hands gently on the Italians hips, eventually the two separated and Italy opened his eyes to show those beautiful Amber eyes, a gentle smile on both of their faces as they stared into each other's eyes
"How long have you liked me Holy Rome?" Italy questioned, Germany watched as the younger Italy took his younger selves hands into his own
"Ever since the 900s my Italia"
A rush of memories hit Germany, he clutched his head and closed his eyes as they flooded his mind in sync with his younger self he said
"I promise to come back to you my Italy" his younger self began to walk away his hands slipped from Italy's as the young Italy called out
"And I promise to wait for you Holy Rome, I promise!"
"oh God how could I forget him, how could I forget our promise" Germany's strong demeanor broke as he remembered everything that had transpired between him and Italy as kids
"I need to make this right; I need to keep the promise to return to him he needs to know that I am still here that I haven't left him " Germany turned to Germania who was smiling
"Of course, Italy come here"
"Wait, what?" Germany asked in shock as the Young Italy walked to them, form shimmering to reveal the older Italy still in the maid's outfit, Rome stood nearby
"Germania and I agreed to do this, to bring you two back together like you should have been in the beginning, with Italy acting as his younger self" Rome explained chuckling
"is it really you Holy Rome?" Italy questioned, as he carefully walked to Germany, Germany felt his clothes change to his younger selves clothing
"Yes my Italia, I kept my promise I promised to return and I did like I said I would" Germany gently cupped his hand to Italy's face, Italy placed his hand on top of Germany's
"I knew you would return to me, everyone kept doubting me, but I knew it, I knew you weren't really gone" Italy said voice barley above a whisper opening his eyes and looking into the eyes of the one he loved
"I am so sorry my Italia, for leaving you alone " Germany replied looking back into those amber orbs he loved so much, and then gently placing his other hand on the other side of Italy's face, he tilted Italy's face up and kissed him deeply
Italy reciprocated the kiss with fervent passion, Germania and Rome watched with approval, they looked at one another before turning around, taking one another's hand they walked away, unbeknownst to them, Germany and Italy had seen this and smiled themselves as they realized this wasn't the first time that a German and Italian Nation had fallen in love, a bright light enveloped the Dream World and Germany found himself waking up he turned his head to the clock which read 2:30 AM in bright red numbering, he felt something no someone shift beside him, a small smile appeared on his face as he turned his head to see a certain Italian beside him, Italy turned over and gave him a small smile
"So it wasn't a dream?" Italy gently questioned timidly
"No Italy it wasn't, I truly have returned to you" Germany answered, sitting up as Italy did the same, in the dim moonlight Germany could see Italy had opened his eyes
"I have missed you my Holy Roma" Italy said as he snuggled up against Germany, his face in the Germans chest
"I am sorry my Italia; how could I forget such precious memories with you?" Germany answered wrapping his arms around Italy
"You could not help it your country was dissolved, then reborn as Germany, all that matters is that you remember"
"Yes, and I will never forget again, I never want to ever forget the special feeling I have with you my Italia" Germany stated
Italy kissed him deeply at this separating only a mere moment to say
"And you'll never loose me Germany, I have loved you since the 900s and nothing will ever change that"
"And I have loved you since the 900s as well Italy" Germany said smiling and kissing Italy once again
