I have never felt less than Awesome until I saw him. The first time I saw him he was sitting across from the Awesome me in the conference room. His strawberry blonde hair and his reddish eyes had set a fire inside the Awesome me. I had never felt this before so I didn't really know how to react. I just smiled my Awesome smile and walked out of the conference room. As I walked down the hallway, towards the big doors, the fire grew stronger and I ended up rushing towards the big doors. When I opened the the doors I could feel the sun on my face and I looked up to see that the sky was a bright blue speckled with little white clouds here and there. I smelled a scent of huckleberry being carried through the air and I walked along the sidewalk until I found a bench and sat down on it. I looked around and noticed that the bench was set underneath a beautiful tree surrounded by some bushes. I sat there until the burning in my chest subsided. When the burning did go away the sun was gone and the moon had shown its face so I got up and headed towards my bruder's house. As I was walking I saw a figure in the night. I couldn't make out who or what it was until the figure looked up and I saw glowing red eyes. At that moment my Awesome heart skipped an Awesome beat and I hid into the nearest bush. I could hear his footsteps grow closer and closer which made my heart pound through my Awesome chest. As I could here his footsteps approach me I panicked and pushed against the bush so hard that a branch behind the Awesome me was jabbing me in the back.
"Do you need any help?" A soft and kind voice came from above me. I looked up to see the same guy with the piercing red eyes and stunningly pale skin that I had seen in the conference room.
"Do you need any help?" he asked once again.
"The Awesome me doesn't need any help at all!" I answered as I got out of the bush. The bush had torn my shirt and scraped my back which probably explained the painful chill that I had felt.
"Are you okay?" he said with his kind voice again.
"Ja I'm fine!" I exclaimed making him jump quite a bit. He held out his shaking, pale hand and said softly, "I'm Romania" he smiled a little revealing a gleam of white shining through his pale lips. I shook his hand and said, "Hi I'm Prussia!" After we exchanged names and chatted for a little, I invited him to a Halloween party that Antonio was hosting.
"I don't know if I will be able to make it but I'll try." Romania said softly.
"Not a problem don't worry about it!" I exclaimed still nervous. When we were done talking we both said our goodbyes and headed to our own destinations. I walked towards my bruder's house and noticed that it was completely dark out. The moon was in the center of the sky and the stars were scattered all throughout the blackish purple screen of night. When I arrived at my bruder's house I decided to sneak in through the back door of the house. I snuck through the house to the room where my bruder was sitting and reading a book. I tiptoed right behind him and inhaled as much air as quietly and quickly as I could and shouted. Ludwig jumped out of his chair and hit me on the head with the book he had been reading. Ludwig scolded me for scaring him and went on to lecture me on scaring people. As Ludwig was lecturing me I started to think about Romania's kind voice. As I kept thinking about Romania the burning slowly made its way back into my Awesome chest. I still didn't know how to deal with it so while Ludwig was finishing up his lecture I rolled my eyes as if I were listening and walked to the room my bruder kept for me. When I was out of Ludwig's sight I rushed down the hallway to my room and sat on the bed clenching my Awesome chest. 'could this be heartburn?' I thought to myself as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and searched my symptoms. The blank white screen taunted me as the internet was searching for results. There wasn't any results and I just stared at my phone while I layed back on my bed. My back still in pain from the bush scraping my back. I stared at the ceiling until the burning went away. 'What could the Awesome me be feeling?' I thought as I put my phone up and dozed off. My eyelids were heavy with sleep and I slowly closed my eyes. Later that night I heard my bedroom door open. I didn't react because I didn't want to be bothered so I faked being asleep. It was Ludwig, he was standing in the doorway for a little bit then he made his way toward the bed and covered me up with a blanket and apologized for hitting me with the book. Before he left the room he kissed my head and whispered, "Guten nacht." When he closed the door and I heard his footsteps slowly make their way away from the door I quietly uttered, "Guten nacht, bruder." and went back to sleep.
I woke the next morning to the scent of waffles and I rose out of my bed like a zombie and slowly made my way to the kitchen to find that Ludwig and Bella were making waffles together.
"Huten morgen." Bella said in her high-pitched, hyper voice she has.
"Mmmgutenmorgen" I said slowly and still full of sleep. I sat at the table waiting for the waffles to be done. The scent teased me alone. When the waffles were done Bella asked me if I wanted fruit and syrup or powdered sugar and chocolate.
"Fruit and syrup!" I answered Awesomely as the sleep was completely wiped away with the scent of berries. When Bella set the plate in front of me I saw that she had put raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries on the waffle with peach slices on the side. Every little indention in the waffle was filled with a light colored syrup. I got some silverware and cut into the beautiful waffle. It was the perfect mix of berry and syrup I have ever eaten. The fluffyness of the waffle mixed with the crunch and snap of the berries.
"Danke!" I said stuffing my Awesome face with the waffley goodness. When I had finished the waffle I cleaned up my Awesome mess and went to take a shower. I got dressed to go to Antonio's house to help him set up for the Halloween party. Once I finished getting ready I headed toward Antonio's house. He didn't live too far away so I just walked to his house with my Awesome smile on my Awesome face. As soon as I had arrived I rang the doorbell and Antonio answered. He invited me inside and handed me some streamers. I started to put the black and orange streamers until the doorbell rang and I dropped everything and Awesomely opened the door to see that Francis was waiting at the door. He had brought some goodies and some wine coolers for the party. After Francis set everything in the kitchen he and Antonio set up some long tables for the snacks and drinks while I cleaned up the mess I made with the streamers. When they finished setting the tables up Francis started to hang up little pumpkin stars while Antonio started putting up ghosts. They were pinkish ghosts though so Francis and I looked at each other with confusion. I finally decided to break the silence by asking "Why are the ghost pink?"
"Because they aren't just any ghost they are tomato ghosts!" Antonio answered with a cheerful look on his face.
"Of course they are." Francis said as he finished putting his last pumpkin star up and walked to the kitchen.
"Why are you going to the kitchen?" I asked curiously.
"Making more food for the party." he answered while washing his hands. As Antonio and I finished up we heard the doorbell ring. Antonio went to answer the door. I was Lovino, his dark almond curl was crinkled. The little Italian stormed across the living room, looked toward Antonio and yelled, "WHERE ARE ALL THE DAMN TOMATOES, YOU JACKASS!" who knew such a small Italian had such a big voice. Antonio just casually went to the kitchen and grabbed a juicy tomato then handed it to the pouting Italian.
"thanks dumbass" Lovino said under his breath as he took the first bite out of his tomato. Antonio pat Lovino on his head and the curl seemed to smooth out a little. While Lovino sat and ate his tomato Francis, Antonio and I finished setting up the party. The doorbell rang while we were finishing setting the tables.
"Lovi will you get that, please?" Antonio asked while he set some punches down.
"Nope." Lovino said with a small smirk.
"I'll get it." I said while walking toward the door hoping it would be Romania.
