La Taviata: Hetalia Act 1

Feliciana's new French home was done up beautifully. Flowers in crystal vases adorned every table along with pizza and pasta of all kinds. Her ballroom and parlor has white drapery that went with the light blue of the walls. She had sprinkled silver sparkles on the floor would give the suave room a small glitter.

She couldn't wait for her quests to arrive. Checking her silver wrist watch, she sighed. The band was due in a matter of minutes. Soon she could relax to mindless chatter and gentle minuettes of the evening. She passed by a mirror and found herself looking at her own reflection. She was a thin girl, but well endowed. Her lush brown hair was brought up into a messy ponytail. She wore a lavender dress that had a light sparkle to it. She smiled and smoothed her side bangs back into place.

The band had arrived and she took part in watching the large string instruments tune and warm up. She had barely enough time before there was a knock on the door.

"Hello! Welcome to my home!" Feliciana said as she threw open the door and let her guests inside. The first to arrive were Elizaveta and her musician suitor. He was proud, but looked at the girl with loving passion. Soon, her whole home was alive with the chatter of guests.

Just when she thought everyone had arrived, there was another knock on the front door. It was barely heard over the lively waltz. Feliciana smiled and was about to say the same greeting she had all night, when her fiancé smiled. He was a large German man with ice blue eyes. Tonight he had dressed in a black suit along with his albino brother. There was a third man with them that Feliciana didn't know.

He was blonde with a strand of hair that defied gravity. His sky blue eyes were behind glasses on a kind face. He wore a lavish white suit.

"Ludwig! I'm so glad you came!" Feliciana threw herself at her fiancé in a tight hug. The man blushed.

"I wouldn't miss it, Feliciana."

"I'm also glad you brought your fratello and friend!" Feliciana smiled and ushered them inside.

"Hey! Feli!" a boisterous voice called out to the hostess as she had walked away to talk to other quests. Turning around, she saw that it was the blonde stranger, who also looked familiar.

"Oh! Hi! What do you need Mr…."

"Alfred, my name's Alfred." He smiled easily and bowed slightly. Feliciana blushed slightly and glanced away.

"E-enjoy the party. I'm going to go lay down. I don't feel well."

"What? I'll help you upstairs!" Alfred offered, a sudden streak of worry going across his face. He took her by the waist and lead her to the stairs, despite her struggles.

"Hey! Let me go!" She said.

"Relax. I got this." The American said. Feliciana relaxed slightly in his warm embrace. The band was playing quietly in the background. It was a new tune. It was a slow, relaxing number that made the young woman's eyes droop.

Eventually, the two made it to her room. Alfred gently laid her on the soft bed. She smiled up at him.

"Thank you…" She whispered.

Alfred put his hands in his pockets. "It's no problem… I just… felt this connection, you know. With you." Alfred smiled.

Feliciana on the other hand, couldn't suppress her feeling of shock and it was evident on her face. Alfred frowned.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No! Of course not! I… I just don't know what to say." Feliciana shook her head as she spoke. Alfred somberly left leaving her to think about the evening's events.


Author's note:

Well, for KMEA, my school band is playing Prelude to Act One of La Traviata. It's a really cool opera and I thought it would be a nice fit to Hetalia. Our Student Teacher (A college student studying to be band director and is gaining experience in a real classroom) tells us the story of the opera so that we can better understand how the piece works. It's a really nice piece by the way. You should all listen to it. When i feel like it, Act 2 will come out. I'm really bad at getting stories out so please be patient!
