Hi there! I am just letting everyone know now, that I am not allowed to take full credit to this story. It started out as a roleplay (and currently is still continuing, so this fiction has a long way to go!) between several different people. I really hope you like it, because we liked it enough to turn it into a fanfiction!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters from Hetalia! In upcoming chapters, there will be fanmade characters that were created by the people of this roleplay, but all credit goes to them! The plot was also made by us all. Thank you!

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day. There was not a cloud masking the blue sky. Everything was calm and peaceful. The weather was warm, but not hot, and everything felt just perfect. In the park, there were couples walking and talking, children playing, families having picnics while sitting under the shade of the various sorts of trees that were scattered around the large grass area.

Ludwig decided to take advantage of the wonderful day by taking his three, large dogs on a walk through the park. They were tame and calm for the most part, so he didn't have them on any sort of leash at the moment, but just in case, he brought some with him.

Ludwig walked, his dogs following him on his heels. Reaching his hands into his pockets, he took out a small, worn tennisball. All at once, the three dogs started to bark and wag their tails with excitement. With little effort, Ludwig sent the ball flying through the air, with the German dogs chasing after it. The barked mady and stumbled over the others, each of them trying to get to the little green ball first before the other two.

He watched the dogs happily... until he saw them barreling towards a blonde woman wearing a violet dress. He had only really talked to her a few times, but clearly knew who she was. Her name was Natalia, also known as the country of Belarus.

"Frau! Watch out!" he yelled at the female nation. Natalia looked up to see the dogs coming at her. In a short period of time, she narrowed her eyes and managed to move of their path. Ludwig let out a sigh of relief as the blonde moved out of the way, but that didn't the female from glaring at the dogs, her gaze moving to Germany with fire. He looked right back at her, glaring as well. What was her deal? Why did she have to hate him so much? All he wanted was to be allies... and maybe even friends.

"Good morning, Belarus," he called out to her, crossing his arms over his chest. He saw her let out a sigh.

"Good morning, Germany," she said in a somewhat bitter voice.

"I apologize for mein dogs. They can be quite frisky sometimes... " he glanced at the dogs as they played carelessly in the grass. Germany walked a bit closer to Belarus. He saw her sigh again, releasing some of the tension from her shoulders, as well as some of the coldness in her eyes.

"It's fine, I guess. Just make sure they don't bother me," she said.

"Deal. But, if I may ask, why are you out here alone?" he asked. Sympathy and curiosity glittered in his ice blue eyes.

"Well, who else would I be with?" she challenged his question.

"Friends, or your sister." He retorted. Germany was actually curious about why she was alone. She really didn't deserve to be. On the outside, Belarus could be hostile, but maybe on the inside she was kind? Maybe...

Belarus shrugged. "I guess I am just so used to being alone all the time..."

The German relaxed his stance slightly. "O-oh... sorry..." he said, then decided to change the subject. "But maybe, you would like to come with me to get coffee?"

He could see her hesitation at first, obviously giving some thought before answering. "Sure, I guess," she finally said. The three dogs cowered behind Germany when they saw that Belarus would be joining them.

"Shall we go, Belarus?" he asked as he reapproached her. Belarus looked up at him and nodded.

"Great," he said with a smile and started to walk towards the cafe across the street. Belarus followed closely behind him, looking to her right, then to her left.

"You seem to be looking for something," Germany said cooly. He saw her stiffen slightly, then shake her head. "No, I'm not looking for anything," she stated.

"Are you sure? You tensed..." Germany glanced over at his companions, which were back in the park. "Are you looking for you brother?"

"No!" she snapped suddenly. She crossed her arms and looked awway. "No... why would I be?" she asked in a more quiet tone. Germany blinked before nodding. He was confused why she was all defensive. He had heard stories from the Russian himself about his little sister often stalking him and asking for marriage. So, it wasn't odd for him to be surprised at her denial.

Snapping back into reality, he glanced back to make sure that Belarus was following him. The Doberman Pincher, Berlitz, stopped and nuzzled her hand. She stopped and looked at the dog with a slightly disgusted face. But after a second, she sighed and patted its head. Germany smiled. Berlitz sat down and licked the girl's hand.

"He usually doesn't warm up to strangers so quickly," he said as the other dogs slowly crept forward. A rare even happened as a smile formed on Belarus's face as she pet all the dogs. Germany smiled and crouched down next to her. As he balanced on his hand, it accidentaly brushed Belarus's. Blushing, Germany pulled away. "S-sorry..."

Her cheeks turned red and she hid her face in her long, blonde hair. "I-it's okay..." she stuttered.

Germany cleared his throat awkwardly. The youngest dog, Aster, nudged Belarus closer to Germany. The dog's owner glared at the puppy. Belarus blushed even more. She stood there, unsure of what to do. Germany groaned slightly. He coughed into his hand, hoping that Belarus would move first. Luckily, she took a step back.

"I-I'm so sorry..." she said nervously.

"D-Don't be..." Germany's face was bright red. He stood and dusted himself off. "Er... I-it's getting rather late... But maybe we could reschedule for tomorrow morning?" Germany held out his business card. "Call me tonight?" he asked timidley. She quickly nodded. "S-sure...okay...call you tonight...got it..." she said, more to herself.

Germany chuckled. "Goodnight, Ms. Belarus..." he smiled then turned around and attached the leashes he brought to each of the dogs. He smiled and waved before walking back to his home.

-later on-

Germany had just got out of the shower and was ready for bed when he heard the phone ringing. He smiled, knowing instantly who it was, and answered the phone. "Guten Tag, Ms. Belarus," he said, grinning.

"Hello, Germany," she said, sounding more confident through the phone than when they were talking face to face.

"S-so I was thinking... maybe I could treat you to breakfast tomorrow...?" Germany blushed more than he usually did; he sounded so nervous over the phone. He hated it.

"Okay... sounds great..." Belarus replied through the phone, her voice gaining the nervous trait as well. Germany smiled.

"G-great. What time do you want me to pick you up?" Did he just do what he thought he did? Yes. Yes he did.

"W-w-whatever t-time is g-good for y-you..." she said. He chuckled. He had never heard her sound so nervous... it was kind of cute.

"Okay, so is nine okay?" he asked as he leaned against the wall. He heard her take a deep breath.

"Nine sounds fine, yes," she said, sounding a whole lot calmer than she did just a second ago. Pride filled his chest. "Great. I'll see you then. Guten Nacht, Ms. Belarus." Wow... He really asked her out. Happiness surged through him.

Belarus said goodnight on the other line before she hung up. Germany stared up at the ceiling once he got in his bed, utterly shocked. She said yes. He felt so... so different. He had never asked anyone out on a date before. With a smile on his face, he fell asleep.
