a/n: Ceri here! I know, I should probably be working on Hetalia in Wonderland (AND I SWEAR, I WILL FINISH IT), but my sister fell down yesterday, and she's North Italy. I think in Hetalia a lot, so I immediately thought of Germany patching up Italy after he falls down. This is the result.
Imagine the silly accents. It will enhance your reading experience, I swear.
Hetalia!
"Uwaaah, Germany, it hurts," Italy sniffled.
"Be patient, Italy, it'll be over in a moment," Germany admonished. He smoothed down the band-aid. "There. Be more careful next time, so you don't fall over again."
"Grazie, Germany!" Italy said. Then he paused. "You know, Germany, when I was little and I fell down, Grandpa Rome would always kiss it better."
Germany sighed, and, seeing where Italy was going with this, planted a kiss atop the band-aid over Italy's scraped knee. "There you go."
Italy beamed. "You're so nice, Germany! Well…when you're not being a big fat meanie-pants, that is."
Germany decided to ignore the "meanie-pants" comment. "Danke, Italy," he replied. "Y-you too."
"I'm so glad that we made that pinkie promise," Italy commented. "Because it means that whenever I fall down, Germany is there to kiss it better."
Germany was sure that it wasn't healthy for his face to get so warm. Perhaps he was catching a cold… "I-I would do that even without the pinkie promise," he admitted, then wondered where that had come from. It was true, yes, but usually he didn't just randomly say things like that.
He found himself with an armful of Italy. "Be~ Germany!"
"I-Italy!"
Italy clung to him, opening his golden eyes for once. He looked up at his friend.
"A-ah, Italy, you're crying," Germany noticed. He gently kissed Italy's cheeks. "Th-that's what you do with things that hurt, right? You…kiss it better."
Though he would barely admit it to himself, Germany was glad for their pinkie promise, too—it meant that he had an excuse to pick Italy up with he fell and kiss the scraped knees better.
Hetalia!
a/n: Germany and Italy are one of my favourite couples ever, simply because of moments like these.
The pinkie promise they're talking about is the Pact of Steel, signed between Italy and Germany in…um…1939? 1941? Somewhere around then. Anyway, it was a mutual aid pact—if Italy was in trouble, Germany would come help him out, and if Germany was in trouble, Italy would come and be useless. I'm sure you all know that already, since you do watch Hetalia (you do…right?), but I'm explaining it for those who don't remember.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not rule the world. If Germany and Italy were mine (ALL MINE, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA), they would be even more canon than they are already. Which isn't much of a difference, I know, but still.
