Author's Note: Life Lesson, kids: If you like Hetalia, you WILL end up supporting some kind of yaoi pairing. Anyways, here's a kinda angsty oneshot of Italy's thoughts about Germany during WW2. Enjoy!
Italy doesn't like it when Germany disappears.
Oh, physically, the Nation is still there: same piercing, yet soft blue eyes, same meticulously combed blonde hair, same muscle-toned body.
But it is not Germany behind the eyes, not anymore.
These are the times when Nazi Germany is in control.
Italy doesn't care for this new Germany as much as the other one.
This Germany demands Italy fight, and yells when the white flag is waved, and doesn't apologize after he yells. This Germany doesn't have time for kitties, or sleeping, or pasta, or cuddling with Italy on the couch.
The Reich comes first, Nazi Germany always says.
That's why Italy always is happy when he sees the military stiffness goes out of the nation, and Germany comes back.
Italy's Germany comes back.
Italy's Germany is tough like the other, but is still soft and nice and understands Italy. Italy's Germany puts up with Italy, and always apologizes when he yells, and takes naps with Italy, and always finds time to cuddle.
When Prussia isn't around to tease him, of course.
But lately, as the war goes on, as Russia brings his might to the battle, and America sends troops to attack, Italy's Germany disappears more and more often.
And Nazi Germany reigns.
And Fights.
And doesn't have fun with Italy.
This fighting wears Germany out too. When Nazi Germany leaves, Italy's Germany crawls into bed exhausted, his body evidence of the toll this war is taking on him.
Still...
Italy knows Germany will win the war. He's the strongest nation Italy knows, and the fastest, and the nicest, and the most handso-
Yes, no matter what the allies do, Italy knows Germany will win the war.
He just wishes it was HIS Germany who would win the war.
And late at night, when Italy is lying next to the blonde nation, watching his Germany toss and turn restlessly, Italy worries.
Italy worries that when Germany wins the war, his Germany will disappear, forever replaced by Nazi Germany.
Just the thought of losing His Germany makes Italy cry, silent tears in the night.
That's why sometimes Italy secretly wishes Germany would just wave a wgite flag to end this war, and he could get Italy's Germany back, and things would be happy and fun.
Italy worries about this a lot, but doesn't tell anyone about his worries.
But then His Germany will give a tired smile at Italy when they are laying on the couch, a small smile that conveys all of his emotions toward the Italian, and all of Italy's fears will be gone.
Only...
Germany will disappear again.
And Italy will worry.
Italy wants to win the war, he wants to control land, he wants to defeat the allies.
But all Italy REALLY wants is His Germany.
Forever and ever.
