(Part One of the APH-Gender Fic Series) Slight OOC , and definitely AU. Written while Glee music was playing in the background, because Kurt has got some ANGST to inspire the hell outta me…So, I caught the gender bend bug, and I've got it bad. When you hear Kurt singing "A House is not a Home"…you'll understand—because the USUK fic is SO gonna happen. Rated about, K+—T, most likely leaning towards T because of some suggestiveness. ANYWAYS, enjoy some angstyish-fluff Fem!ItalyxGermany, you angst whores! BY THE EFFING WAY, I just realized this is probably indirectly my first strait Hetalia couple (; A ;) I SUCK SO BAD.

He didn't know exactly when it started, where the two of them met, and even how in the world he came to be lying next to the slumbering Italian woman. As he rolled over, he knew immediately that his late night visitor had come home with him, the bathroom light on with the door cracked; the other side of his blanket lifted and mussed up. He heard the shower running faintly, a soft Italian song gliding melancholically over his ears.

Ludwig remembered wavy auburn hair, chocolate eyes, and the smell of flowers on her lightly tanned skin. He remembered her soft voice murmuring "Germany" while lithe fingers combed through his blonde hair, and that same voice sighing and mewling with each touch he gave her. His head hurt when he thought of her crazy sister, but a smile was brought to his face when he recalled her warm, summery smile; memories of their days and nights together welling in his mind.

And when they came together like two lost puzzle pieces, it was hard not to cry out and wake up the entire apartment complex. As far as his modesty went at that moment, it was clean and spotless compared to the nights he couldn't sleep because of the slamming of his brother's headboard on the bordering wall when he brought over his countless lady (and sometimes male) friends to roll around the bed sheets with.

The water running in the bathroom shut off suddenly, bringing him out of his reverie, and he heard the singing slowly stop, until it was eerily quiet…empty and hollow on his ears.

"Ludwig..? Are you…are you awake?" he heard a soft voice murmur from the restroom; a towel clad Italian stepping quietly out into the chilly bedroom. "Feliciana..?" he sat up, rolling his shoulders, looking in her direction. She gingerly walked towards him, sitting on the edge of his bed, looking back at him with dewy eyes. He reached out for her shoulder, confusion written on his face, tears breaking and rolling down her cheeks.

"D-don't hate me, okay? D-don't be m-mad, okay..?" she hiccupped, turning towards him, holding his hand desperately. Her eyes were wide and fearful, filled with anxiety. Gently, he pulled her to him, feeling her instantly curl to his chest, her often perky cowlick even drooping slightly.

Ludwig wiped her tears away, pressing his lips to her forehead, silently beckoning her to tell him. "Feliciana, please…I won't be mad, and I can't hate you, not for a second." He murmured against her hairline, cold locks clinging to her face. "P-promise me..?" she asked, leaning her face against the hand that gently cupped her cheek.

He nodded his head, pulling her delicately onto his lap, wrapping her in warm blankets, soothingly rubbing clammy skin.

More tears streamed down her cheeks, her arms wrapping around his neck. "I…I'm…" she was cut off by a sob. Immediately, she was crushed to a familiar chest, calming sounds and words being murmured to her. He stroked her hair, hearing her mumble into his chest.

He lifted her chin, looking into teary doe eyes, "…pregnant." She finished murmuring, looking away in shame. His eyes widened, mouth opening and closing repeatedly, gripping around for words. "Really..? Feli, this is…" he started, being interjected by her, "Terrible, I know, I'm so sorry..!" she sobbed out, clinging to him.

"You mean wonderful…this is wonderful, Feli…" he murmured happily, pulling her tightly to his chest, her crying ceasing, a surprised face turning up to him. "Y-you…really think so..?" she gasped, sitting up and holding his face in her hands. He nodded his head, pulling her close, kissing her neck.

The smile that broke across her face could rival that of the sun, her soft laugh happy and carefree as sweet tears welled in her eyes. She leaned against him, burying her face into his neck. "I...I'm so happy..! I thought that you would be mad, I was so scared…" she said happily, her voice muffled by his black t-shirt.

He cradled her gently against him, laughing at her excited gushes over names and genders—a quiet smile gracing her features as she was rocked back and forth by the blonde German.

"You know, Ludwig…I think this might be a…really good thing…" she muttered sleepily, her eyes heavy and tired, until she fell asleep in her lovers arms, being tucked in by Ludwig—who, for once, decided sleeping in wouldn't be too bad at the moment.

Shitty ending is shitty, but that's beside the point. Tell me what you think, because every time you review, I'll kick Kaiba in the balls. Anyways, the next couple will be AmericaxFem!England because I think the name Ana has a ring to it and they had 89% compatibility on my iTouch's Love Calc o.o (lame) HENAYWAYS, the chapter next chapter will be put up…whenever, and after that, you guys will vote via review for the next three couple, and the choices will be posted at the end of chappie two.
