When Germany got home from a long day at work he was not expecting to hear Italy laughing. It was very strange since for the several past days Italy has been in silence, making the German very worried for his friend. Italy's squeals of laughter got louder as Germany crept closer to the living room. Italy couldn't help himself to his laughter, he was being tickled on his feet, and maybe his nose too (Germany couldn't tell).
"Italy why do you have to be so cute?" Germany thought out loud without knowing.
"I don't know what you are talking about Doitsu, but maybe you can explain it to me after you help me!" Italy pleaded. Germany helped him by shooing the puppy away and removing the kitten from the Italian. Italy sat up and patted the seat next to him, with a smile the first one in days, "Sit with me Doitsu."
Germany obeyed the simple command and sat down next to the smaller nation. Right away Italy leaned against Germany, hugging the arm with his feet slightly dangling.
"You're smiling again," Germany stated. Italy nodded, giggling softly.
"Yep! I have no clue what was making me so sad. Did you know animals can feel what you can, Doitsu?"
"No I did not. How did you learn of this?" Italy was quite for sometime and then all of a sudden he squealed.
"NO! Don't lick my toes! They belong to Germany!" Germany's heart skipped a beat.
"Italy what did you just say?"
"They belong to me? Why are you asking me that?" Italy looked up to met Germany's eyes.
"I don't know…I'm hearing things I guess. I'm going take a shower now," Germany escaped from Italy's grip and shock his head.
"Just don't listen to the voices that tell you to do mean things!" Germany stopped and turned back to Italy.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because that's how I got you Ludwig," Italy smiled again and Germany ran up his stairs to hide from Italy, who just laughed again.
A/N: No clue what inspired me to start this. There's a picture of Italy smiling for the last line…just remove the spaces. Next one is Germany!
