Our Promise
Things were getting pretty bad at Austria's house. People were coming in and out of his house and were very angry. It seemed like it would never end. But one day I woke up earlier than normal. Since I am like a servant here I thought that I should start my chores earlier to make Austria's and Hungary's life easier. Ever since this disturbance has started Austria has been quite depressed. Hungary tries her best to make him feel a little happier but you can tell it is not working. Even the songs that Austria plays nowadays are quite depressing and you can see the loneliness flash in his eyes. While I was walking on the same path I always do with my push broom in my hands I saw something unusual. I saw Holy Roman Empire talking to someone and he had the most painful expression on his face. He saw me and walked up to me with a confused look on his face and said, "Hey, what are you doing here?" I knew the reason why he is confused it is because I normally do not wake up this early but before I could respond to his question a tall blond man said, "Sir the cargo is ready it's time to go." "Wait, what does he mean?" "Italy I have something to tell you." "I am going away; I have to leave for a war." Those words replayed in the back of my mind a thousand times. I didn't know how to respond. "wh-what... But... I... don't want you to go!" "I have to Italy it's orders." "Then here, take this to remember me." I gave him the push broom because it was the only thing I had with me at the time and he always saw me with it. "Thanks Italy umm here take this painting, I have been practicing a lot and... umm what do people in your country do when you want to tell them you like them," he asked. "Umm well you kiss I think, "I replied. Then he moved closer and placed his lips on mine. I was so overwhelmed with happiness and sadness that I started to cry. He started to leave when I said, "Please be safe, promise you will come back!" "Yeah I promise." "When you get back I will make your favorite food." "Yeah, "Holy Roman Empire replied again while crying. "I will also make a ton of paintings for you while you are gone and also can you promise that you won't get sick or hurt too badly!" "Yeah I promise...goodbye Italy I love you and I will be back soon, so that we can be part of the Holy Roman Empire again." With that he left and I cried my eyes out. After he left everyday was torture. I cried every day and wanted to see him. The house has never been this quiet since the day I got here. "hello Ita-chan," Hungary said." "How are you feeling I know this must be hard for you?" "I miss him so much, even though I had always thought that he was scary and unapproachable I realized a while ago that I really liked him, "I said with my eyes filling up with tears. Hungary gave me a big hug and said," Don't worry he would want you to be happy and also he will be coming back soon, so don't cry so much." "I know and I promised that I would make his favorite food and make him more paintings." "Yeah, you can't spend the whole time he is gone crying right?" Hungary was right I had to pull myself together. After that I worked really hard to do my chores, make more paintings for him, and make his favorite snacks. It was all in hopes for fulfilling our promise that sadly, never came.
