Before I meet Mizuki, I thought I was gay. Well, that's what everyone else thought. Everyday I saw posters, pictures and everything visual in the world. I was always drawn holding Italy as if we were in love. And I could tell he thought that too by the way he gazed at the poster as if he was questioning his own sexuality. So to stop them from asking questions, we started dating. We let them gaze and stare when ever they wanted. We even made love just to keep things quiet.

It wasn't long after he moved in that things started to change. The monster I kept hiding inside me kept breaking lose no matter how much I tried.

It was a cool November Sunday morning that Italy suggested we go for a walk. I got the feeling that he could run away without hitting into something. So we started down a dirt road that lead down into a forest of mighty oak trees. Since it was early November there was no stone on the ground. The trees still with their autumn colours had not quite lost their leaves yet, and walking the path was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

"Ain't it beautiful out Germany?" Italy cried out in excitement.

His voice caught me off guard. I turned to him and smiled "Yes, she is."

"She?" Then he saw her too. "oh." He said almost in a trance. As she walked by us, Italy grabbed her by the elbow and swung her around almost like he was about to hug her. By the way her body was in his arms, she looked quite uncomfortable to me. But they way they looked in each others arms made me jealous but before the monster broke through, Italy caught me off guard.

"So what's your name beautiful lady?" he asked, I thought it was kind of stupid to ask but she started to blush, which for some reason, I couldn't help but smile. I guess I thought it was really cute. I don't know, all I could remember was that in her soft little voice she whispered "My name is Mizuki NoHana."

She pulled away from Italy and turned to me, and in that sweet soft voice she asked "And what is your name quiet gentleman?" I couldn't help but blush before I could answer "Ludwig with no last name." She smiled a beautiful all tooth smile and said "So you're Ludwig with no last name and your huggable friend is…"

"Feliciano Vargas!" Italy said, cutting her off.

I couldn't help but stare daggers at him. He seemed to flinch at my stare then straighten up. Thankfully she did notice. While I was trying to calm down and stop myself from hurting Feliciano, I started to wonder why she was here. She seemed to notice the flash of confusion that spread across my face and said "If you are wandering why I was walking around was because it's probably the last on most beautiful fall day before the snow begins."

Then an idea came to me. I asked her "Would you like to come over and warm up from this frigid air?"

"Sure" she said.

Those words changed my life…Forever.
