Love is Intoxicating
By Puga-san
~Hetalia Gerita/Germany x Italy~
Italy jumped as he felt two arms snake around his waist. Then he looked at their owner
"Doitsu, are you OK?" He asked.
Germany slurred back, "Sure Ita" and he squeezed tighter, and that's when Feli noticed the drunken haze of alcohol?, in his eyes and ... Something else? He didn't know, but it was very enticing.
"Umm.. Ludwig ?"
"Yes?" Felilciano turned around in his secret crush's arms and opened his mouth to speak, but that's when Germany kissed him. Italy's usually chatty mouth was silenced and his brain had shorted out. Italy pushed back when he realized 'Doitsu is drunk! This isn't right!' Germany looked hurt and covered his eyes with his hands, one or two tears slipping unnoticed out from underneath them. Italy, very surprised and heartbroken to see his love cry, jumped to hug him.
"No, no, ti amo! Ti amo! But Doitsu is drunk!"
Germany sputtered out, " Ich lebe dich, but I can't say it unless I'm vasted! Don't you see? I'm so uptight about these things when I am sober!" While he had very good speech for a drunk, his stability was optional, as his knees gave way and he grabbed Italy for support.
"You are going to hate yourself in the morning." Italy sighed and led him to his bed where he laid his love to sleep, singing a lullaby to ease him into sleep
- the next morning -
Strong hands were wrapped around Italy's waist. 'Wait, again?'
He turned around to see, yep, Germany, except he looked completely sober. 'That's really odd, considering that he looked utterly wasted last night.'
"Ita?"
"Yes?"
"Do you really l-love me?" Italy suddenly realized that, no , even though he had looked drunk, Germany was, well, Germany. Completely sober. He must have a pretty high tolerance of alcohol.
"I thought you were drunk!" Feli cried and buried his head in his crush's shirt.
"I'm surprised you thought I COULD get drunk. Is that a challenge?"
Italy laughed sourly and said "After you gave me the excuse of being drunk, I went along with it, but I barely had a sip. I was scared, so scared of telling you that I had to force myself to." Italy looked up at his crush, "Ti amo" he whispered and then added in the same tone, "Can you kiss me again?" But he didn't need to ask, before he was gripped by his love and pulled into the sweetest and most enchanting kiss.
"Ich lebe dich"
I love you
