A/N Well, wasn't going to post this but I have a friend who wants to read it, so...

You can all thank her for this. Well, you can't thank her in person but you can thank her mentally...

I'm sorry, I was rambling, anyways~

Inspired by Owl City's "Vanilla Twilight".

I know it's short." I really wish it was longer, I do, I just can't write long fics! I try, and it just...there's run-on sentances and...grrr...


Italy smiled, staring at the stars from his seat on Germany's small porch.

"Holy Rome...I still love you..."

He bit his lip, remembering his childhood nostalgically.

"Italy! Look, isn't that Orion?"

The small Italian boy giggled sweetly, pointing out constellation after constellation on the porch. It was small, and had splintered wood, but it overlooked a twinkling lake and a night sky with stars like diamonds. And the forest lit up with fireflies nightly, like a celebration just for love.

"Holy Rome," Italy blushed. "If I love you forever and ever, will you love me forever and ever too?"

Holy Rome squeaked. "Y-yes, Italy..."

Italy gasped happily, hugging his first love. "Promise?"

Holy Rome nodded.

"Promise."

Italy sighed, that same porch. It was a wonder the wood hadn't rotted away over the years. Holy Rome wasn't sitting next to him anymore, but the lake still twinkled, and fireflies still lit up the surrounding forest, and the stars still sparkled.

"I wish you were here, Holy Rome. I have so much I would tell you,"

Italy closed his eyes calmly.

"I would introduce you to my new friends. Japan is a little anti-social, but I know he really just wants everyone to get along. And Prussia's still here, and still exactly the same as he was back when we were little. And Germany,"

Italy giggled, blushing slightly.

"Germany looks just like you, except grown. And Holy Rome, I love him. Just like I loved you and still do, I love Germany. I sometimes think he's you. It's silly, but what am I if not silly?"

Italy laughed softly. "And yes, I guess I'm a dreamer. I don't like fighting, even though I'm a nation, so I'm not strong. But Germany helps me, and I guess I'm okay because of him."

Feeling himself start to drift off to sleep, he mumbled his last sentence.

"Forever and ever, Holy Rome. Just like you promised..."


Germany sighed, glancing at Italy asleep on his porch.

"Italy, what am I going to do with you?"

He wrapped his arms carefully around the smaller nation, smiling at the sleeping face he was met with. Italy's eyes fluttered half-open.

"Germany, will you stay with me forever and ever?" he whispered, curling into Germany's chest.

The blonde blinked, then chuckled softly. Italy grinned, unable to stay awake any longer. His eyes closed and his head lolled back.

Germany layed him down on his bed, climbing in next to him.

"Of course, Italy,"

He kissed Italy's forehead.

"I always keep my promises, after all."
