It was a cold winter day, and the snow was finally beginning to stick to the ground.

Germany and Italy were walking on the snow covered ground through the woods on the way to their cabin. The only sound that could be heard was the snow crunching beneath their boots.

As they walked, hand in hand, the wind began to blow fiercely. Italy pulled his scarf up further so that it covered his pink nose.

Germany pulled Italy in close to him to try and warm him. Italy smiled as he nuzzled his head into Germany's chest.

When the two of them reached their small, cozy cabin that they would be spending Christmas in, they hurried in out of the cold.

Italy curled up in front of the warm fire as Germany hung up his coat and tool off his gloves.

"Italy, aren't you going to take off your coat?" Germany asked.

"But it's so cozy and warm!" said Italy happily.

Germany sighed "You only feel warm and cozy because of the fire, not the coat. If you don't take that off, you are going to overheat."

Germany could sometimes be a little harsh with Italy, but this was only because he loved him and because he is very protective.

"But Gerrmanyy..." Italy whined.

"What is it Italy?" Germany asked somewhat annoyed.

"I can't take my coat off by myself! The buttons are to hard to undo! Could you... help me?" Italy smiled innocently.

Germany blushed slightly "U-um... sure Italy..."

Germany walked over to Italy and bent down so that he could unbutton Italy's coat. Italy smiled as Germany unwrapped his scarf from around his neck.

Once Germany had finished taking off Italy's winter clothing, he said "See, that wasn't so hard."

Italy smiled "Thank you, Germany!"

Germany looked away "Yeah, well you could have done that yourself."

"I like it more when you help me." Italy said, still smiling.

Germany continued to look down.

Italy put his hand under Germany's chin and lifted his head upwards so that he was looking into Italy's large brown eyes which were rarely open.

"Ti amo." Italy said quietly.

"Ich liebe dich, zu." said Germany blushing.

Italy leaned in slowly and kissed Germany lightly on the lips.

Germany kissed him back passionately and then Italy hugged him tightly.

End

Ti Amo - I Love You

Ich Liebe Dich, Zu - I Love You, Too
