A/N: Ah, I love the spring season! ...Despite the pollen and annoying bugs that're flying around everywhere. xD This was a present for one of my buddies on dA who is—or was—an avid Hetalia fan like myself. Germany can be so cute to tease, especially when Italy's around to goof things up. |D

season 1 : spring [tag der kranken, "the day of the ill"]

"ACHOO!"

Germany laid back in his bed, grumbling to himself. He couldn't stand this. Being sick was one thing but on a holiday? Sure, it was called Day of the Ill but he didn't expect he himself to catch a cold, especially on such a beautiful day.

Italy...that moron. He was the whole reason Germany was bedridden. First, he goes out in the pouring rain to flirt with a few girls. Then he comes back inside, sneezing and barking like a dog, and spreads his germs all over him.

However, it didn't take long for him to recover. In a matter of days, he was bouncing off the walls, bothering the living crap out of everyone. While Germany is laying in bed, sick with that same disgusting cold. His mood grew worse just thinking about it.

"Hey, Germany! You read to eat now?"

The blonde male struggled to turn his head as he saw Guam make her way inside his room. She was a new girl that arrived in the neighborhood, though he didn't know much about her.

Guam's heart soared at the sight of her crush. He was clad in a simple, dark gray tank top that revealed his sinewy, muscular build. It made her blush, but she mentally slapped herself for thinking such perverted thoughts.

With a gulp, Guam slowly sauntered over to the bed, a tray in her delicate hands. On the tray were several foods, but they were foreign to Germany. She set the tray down on the nearby nightstand and pulled up a chair.

"What's that stuff in the tray?"

"Corn soup, coconut milk and some guyuria." She noticed his slightly disgusted look and chortled. "It's food from Guam."

"How does it taste?"

Guam laughed even more, her dark brown eyes dancing. "It's pretty good actually. I put a lot of coconut in it; it'll help you with your cold."

She took a spoonful of soup and lifted it to his lips. "Now...say 'ah'!"

"No, thanks. I don't want any..."

"C'mon, Germany, don't be like that." She pouted a bit. "Just one taste?"

He sighed and closed his eyes, opening his mouth and letting his lips envelop around the spoon. The taste was slightly strange but he liked it. It was...interesting.

When Guam noticed him chewing, she giggled and offered him another spoonful of soup. This time he was less resistant and opened his mouth for more. The soup bowl was empty in a matter of seconds.

"That wasn't bad, now was it?" She questioned with a wink.
