(A/N: So I don't know why I thought this would be a good idea, but I did. This is the result of me reading the actual 23.5 then writing more stories. Damn though, you should check 23.5 out, just make sure you can handle the gore.)
Italy ran around the house looking for his friends. "Veh~! Germany! Japan! Where are you?" Japan stepped out from a door behind him. "I'm right here Italy-kun. Now what are you shouting about?" He asked the Italian. He turned round and grabbed Japan's hand pulling him along. "Germany! Where are you?! GERMANY!" Italy yelled at the top of his lungs. Germany came out of his room, pushing his blonde hair back. "What is it Italy? There's no need to shout!" Italy grabbed Germany's wrist with his free hand and pulled the other two back to his room. Once they were inside, Italy sat them down in chairs either side of his own, in front of them computer. "Italy! What is the meaning of this!?" Germany demanded.
"Well, me and Fratello were on the internet and we were reading stories and we found one from America's place called Hetalia 23.5! I didn't read it, I had to go do something, but Romano did and he said it had to do with us! Although, he did seem a little pale, but he probably ate something! Anyway, I thought we could all read it together!"
"That's a nice thought Italy but I'm busy!" Germany sighed trying to stand up as Italy opened the internet. Japan reached round him and held Germany's wrist. "Oh come on, Germany-san! It'll be fun. It's been a while since we did something together!" Germany looked at Japan, then Italy and then sighed before sitting back down. "Alright, let's read it." He muttered. Italy opened the page, and the others saw the writing. They then immersed themselves for 8 minutes, reading the story before them. When they'd all finished, they stared at the computer screen in shock. Japan's eyes were wide his mouth slightly open, Germany stared at the computer in horror, while Italy opened and closed his mouth like a fish, all the colour drained from his face. Germany and Japan slowly looked at him. "I…Italy-kun?" Japan whispered.
"Italy? Are you…alright?" Germany asked, going to put his hand on the Italians shoulder.
"VEH~!" He shouted, squirming backwards, falling over his chair, landing behind it. Germany and Japan stand up and go over to him. "You…you were…were e-eating me! Why? Why would you do that?" He stuttered, his eyes filled with terror.
"Italy! We would never do that to you! How could you think we would!"
"Italy-kun! Calm down! It's just a story! We're friends! We'd never do that to you! Even if we were starving!" The other two nations tried to calm the panicking one. Italy clung to Germany's shirt, hiding his face. Germany wrapped his arms around both him and Japan, who was strangely alright with suck close contact. The three of them sat there hugging. After a while, Prussia knocked on the door and poked his head round. "Hey, West? You in here? Dinner's ready?" He asked. Germany turned to him and shook his head, indicating it was a bad time. Prussia looked at the still crying Italian in his arms, then at Japan who also shook his head. Prussia sighed, then left the room. "Do I even want to know what happened in there?" He asked himself, going off down the hall.
(Damn, it was fun writing that. I just wish I hadn't had to read it in detail so I knew how long it took. It is a good story, and very well written, I just wish it wasn't so...sad! Either way I hope you enjoyed reading!
