Hey guys! Now, before we begin, I know that the idea of ItalyxBelarus seems weird...but it kind of grew on me after a few days. If you hate this pairing, please, shut down this window, leave you PC, and then go back to your PC 5 mins later. I hope you enjoy, by the way.

DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN AXIS POWERS HETALIA OR ITS CHARACTERS! Well, I do own any character I make up.

Chapter 1 -He is always with me. No matter what.

You know, it's weird. I'm cold-hearted, and you're warm-hearted. My country is cold, yours is hot. I have no friends other than you, you have plenty of them...all in all, we are opposites. But yet...I think I'm falling for you. Big time. No, I can't be. You love Ludwig, you've even told me. Right now, you're on your way to gather the courage to ask him out at last. God, that took a lot of convincing, you know. But, as long as you're happy, I'm happy. Because, to me, you are my closest friend, Feliciano. And...I don't want to ruin it. Trying to marry Ivan...it's all just a joke now. I've given up on it, as he refuses to speak to me. I don't even WANT to marry him any more! You know, it's quiet in Belarus when you're not here. I wish you were here...I miss you already... So then, it's true. I'm falling for you. I'm sure now. But...I don't want to lose your friendship. Ever. So, if Ludwig makes you happy, then...I'll be happy for you. And, if something does go wrong, I'm always there. No matter how much I hate the potato bastard. If he breaks your heart I'll break him... The phone! Dammit, I've been ignoring it! I pick up the phone, and put on my normal voice for phone conversations.

"Hello?" I ask, hoping it wasn't Francis. Oh God, anyone but him!
"Bela-chan! It's me! Guess what? You were right! He said yes, ve! Oh, I'm so happy! I'll talk to you later, ve?" Feliciano shouts, hanging up.

So....that's it? He's now with Ludwig, huh? I put the phone down. Dammit, why don't I have any friends?? What kind of person would want to be friends with me, anyway? I push everyone away! But, wait. There is one person. A person who does love me. Toris. Although...I DID break his fingers on our last date. But I could give him a shot. It might get my mind off Feliciano. And, who knows? Maybe I'll be able to return Toris' affection for once! I pick the phone back up, and got my address book. I dialled his number, and waited for it to ring. Someone picked up the phone and sang a cheerful hello. Ivan.

"Hi, Russia. Can I speak to Lithuania, please?" I ask, in a slightly cheerful way.
"Hm? Why do you want to speak to him? Is it important? It's not more threats, is it? I told you , Belarus, to not be mean to him." Ivan sighs
"I'm not telling you why, it is important, it's not more threats and I promise that this time I will be nice." I answer back. I hear Ivan calling Toris, and the phone being passed from one person to another. Toris was now on the line.
"B-Belarus? Is that you?" Toris' voice shook. Was he scared of me or Ivan?
"Yeah, it's me. Listen, Lithuania....do you...want to go on a date with me? I promise not to hurt you this time." I smile.
"Yeah, of course! Tomorrow night, at 7? I'll pick you up" he sounds excited.
"Ok, sure. See you tomorrow, then." I hung up. I had just made a date with Toris.

I decided to make some pasta for dinner, as I had nothing else. Oh well, it gives the body energy. I put the pasta on a plate, and grab a fork. I start eating the pasta and frown. It's not the same as Feliciano's pasta. But, hey. He's probably with the potato bastard. As long as he's happy and, well....you know the rest. Dammit, my house is too quiet. It's funny, when Feliciano first visited, I slammed the door in his face and told him to go away. He came back a few hours later, and I got to know him. Of course, the first topic was pasta. He was so sweet. But I still acted like a hard-assed bitch. But now....I miss him terribly. I finish the pasta, and put the bowl in the sink. I lay down on my couch, and just thought about things. Do I really want to be with Toris, or do I want to be with Feliciano? I don't know. I jump up suddenly. It's either Toris, Francis or someone way more annoying. I can feel it already. I open the door, but only to see a beaming Feliciano looking at me.

"Bela-chan! Hug!" he smiles, hugging me. I blush bright red. What is he doing?
"I-Italy-kun! Hi!" I smile back, as he pulled away from the hug.
"Bela-chan? Are you okay? Your face is bright red!" he looks at me, concerned.
"Hm? Yeah, I'm fine." I look away, trying to get rid of the blush.
"Good. Thank you so much for the help with Germany, ve! We're going on a date tomorrow at 7! Which means I can't come see you, ve. Sorry." he frowned slightly. Wait...he was going on the date at the same time as my date with Toris!
"It's okay. I have a date with Toris, anyway." I smile, looking in his eyes. Yeah, I may be going on a date with him, but I'll be thinking of you.
"Why? I thought you didn't like him, ve?" he cocks his head, his hair curl bouncing slightly.
I pause for a moment. No, he doesn't know why I'm doing this. I relax. "Well, I thought I could give him a chance. You don't get anywhere by being cold-hearted, you know. I know that all too well." I frown. He has no idea how cold and lonely it is here in Belarus when I'm on my own.
"Hm, ok. Hey, could you give me advice for tomorrow, ve?" he smiled, his typical puppy-dog smile. How could ANYONE refuse that?
"Actually, Italy-kun, I can't give dating advice. I've never been on a date before." I give him a fake smile. I don't want to see him frown.
"Oh, alright then. Hey, can I come in yet? It's freezing out here, you know, ve!" he shivers. I'm not sure whether he's faking it or not.
"Yeah, sorry." I let him in, and I hear plonking on the couch. Of course he would go there first.

We spoke for hours about everything. Even though Feliciano visits everyday, he always has something new to say. I listen as he tells me stories of his life, and even mentions some stories of his childhood. I check the time. 1 am. Dear God, we've been speaking for hours! And...I can't stay awake any longer. But...neither can he. We both fall asleep. My dreams are sweeter than any honey you could ever find. And I know that he is always with me. No matter what

Well, that's it for the first chapter. Yeah, I think it's a bit short. Not too bad for a BelarusxItaly story, huh? Oh, and she won't be going out with Toris for the rest of the story. I'll make sure of that. But, I hope you liked it, as Natalia is my favourite female character and Feliciano is my favourite male character. Ivan would be my favourite...if he wasn't so damn scary. Hope that you will read the next chapter too. And, and please review. Any good writer needs feedback, you know.
