Ludwig drove down the road nervously and pulled into Feliciano's driveway. Lovino answered the door and ushered him inside and up the stairs. "How bad is it?" he asked entering the room. Antonio was already replacing Italy's now warm towel with a new cold one. "Pretty bad..." He replied trying not to sound nervous. Antonio walked out of the room mumbling to himself. Lovino soon followed wanting to get away from his brother. Ludwig frowned and sat in a chair next to Feliciano's bed. "Feli?" He asked.

His best friend was in a terrible state. He had a rash that was spreading on his arms. He was sweating and had a bad fever. Ludwig cringed at the smell of the room. He glanced at the now full trash can gaging. Feliciano stirred in his sleep. He had been vomiting for the past few days. Lovino was surprised that he had gotten any sleep, which he hadn't gotten since about 3 days ago.

Ludwig reached for Feli's hand. Lovino ran in the room, "No don't touch him!" Ludwig pulled his hand back quickly.

"What!? Why!?" he rubbed his hand on his uniform in small mechanical movements. Lovino's yelling caused Feliciano to sit up in his bed eyes wide. Feli noticed Ludwig and smiled before vomiting again. "He is very contagous!" Lovino finished. Ludwig frowned, he wanted to rub Feli's back and comfort him. Antonio came back up with a pained look in his eyes. Lovino rushed over and he stepped back. He pulled up his sleeve, it revealed a red rash much similar to Feliciano's.

"Spain..." Lovino stepped back. Spain frowned, he ran out of the room and locked himself in his room.

Romano glanced at Germany and he nodded. Ludwug pulled out his phone. He dials a number and starts to talk to the person on the other end. "Why here? We were supposed to have it in Italy remember?" Ludwig then went on to explain what condition Italy was in. After a few grunts from the Brit on the other end he agreed to hold a meeting in Britain. Ludwig put his phone away. After asking Lovino to stay there with his brother he headed out the door. Lovino stared at his brother and heard sobs coming from Antonio's room he sat himself on a chair in the corner. "Feli?" he asked his brother. After his brother gave him a cough of acknowledgment he continued. "How long do you think it will take to spread to my half of the country?" his voice cracked. Italy just shook his head and laid his head back down in his pillow.

Ludwig jumped in his car and sped down the road. What was this disease? It wasn't like anything he'd seen before. He tried to concentrate on the music on the radio. He was always fond of Italian music but now when ever he hears this he always sees his friend in his bed sick as hell. Frowning he continued down the road.

*Le Time Skip*

Alfred sat at the front of the meeting room table. Everyone was there except for Antonio, Feliciano, and Lovino. Germany stood up and slammed his hand on the table. "This is a serious matter no 'hero' can stop this!" Alfred head continued to insist that he could send in global man or whatever he called his silly idea. America cringed a little, he crossed his arms and sat down in his chair scowling. Germany straightened his jacket and stood up and walked to the front of the room.

"Now," he started. "Italy is ina horrible state and it seems to spread through contact. Romano is part of Italy so I asked to stay behind today. This thing seems to be mutating very quickly." Japan stood up causing Germany to stop talking. "Japan is there something you want to add?"

Kiku joined Ludwig at the front of the room. They exchanged glances. "Yes I wourd rike to add somthing Germany-san." Kiku then faced the rest of the countries. England glanced at France who seemed to be crying.

"I think this might have to do with our popurations..." he trailed off. Everyone was staring at him, now interested. Even Greece was wide awake and listening concern in his eyes. "I don't understand, Japan please explain." Germany asked. Japan nodded.

"Werr Germany-san, my theory is that since we havn't been paying attention to the citizens of our countries that werr," he pauses. Everyone leans in as if he was about to tell a secret. "I think that Italy-san has been infected by a disease because his citizens did." Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, Ludwig went over to Kiku. "Japan if your theory is correct then if all his people die..." He trailed off and stared at the ground. Kiku just nodded. "Yes, he wirr fade if we can't find a cure for him and his people." Ludwig gulped and stormed out of the meeting place and into his car.

Germany tried to hold back tears as he drove back into Italy's driveway. He got out of his car and knocked on the door loudly. Romano opened it slowly. "Don't touch me." he said softly. Ludwig nodded and quickly slipped by him and up the stairs. He passes Antionio's room where he was still locked in, he was still moaning also. He slid through the crack of Feliciano's room. Ludwig sat in the same chair he did hours before.

"Feliciano," He started. Italy sat up. He looked worse. Romano had him on medicine for paranoia. "Yea?" Italy coughed. Germany played with his thumbs. He didn't want to break the news to him. "Well you see... we found out what it is, er how it happened. Your people are slowly becoming infected by this disease and if we don't do something quit your state will get worse and you might..." He trailed off.

"Die." Italy finished his sentance with less fear in his voice. Germany glanced at the floor then up at the ceiling trying to hold back tears.

"Exactly... and Ita...?" Italy cocked his head to the side and stared up at Ludwig as he stood up. "I can't let that happen, I love you... and I don't think I can live without your cheery voice and the smell of Pasta..." He trailed off again tears escaped his eyes barley visable in the dim light.
