A/N- hello ^^ I decided to write again, yay I guess.
Anyway, before I start there are some things you should know.
1. Germania and Rome will be in the same age range as the other nations. Not grandparents. They will be the cousins of their grandchildren instead.
2. I will be calling Germania Germania because I didn't find any names for him that I liked. Let's just say he has weird parents. And Rome is Romulus, Rome as a nick name.
Okay, now on with the story.

Germania's POV:
Ugh... I was stirred from my slumber by the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I clicked on my bedside light and reached over to shut off the shrieking machine.
Wednesdays... I had never liked them. They were the days where you knew you were only halfway through the school week and already you wanted it over with.
But that aside, I got up and began my morning rituals: Getting dressed, eating breakfast, brushing my teeth, and combing my long blond hair (and putting in my braid).
I was alone in my house, my parents being FAR too busy to bother seeing me off in the mornings. They were both workaholics. Even when they were home I hardly saw them. I was used to it though, I did grow up with it.
As I grabbed my book bag and headed out the door, I made a point to look up at the still visible stars in the dark sky. I was glad that I lived far enough away from the cities to see them.
I lived in a large house (my parents had a lot of money lying around) near a small town. From there my parents were close enough to their jobs that they could drive into the city (which was not far away), but still live in a quiet area.
Or at least that was what they decided when they first moved there. In the years after they would probably rather just move into the city.
I tore my gaze away from the millions of tiny lights as I heard the bus coming. I quickly walked to the end of my driveway where the bus picked me up. It looked like a giant light up caterpillar. I don't know why but it really did.
As it rolled up there was a gust of wind which blew my hair back, I shivered. It was still a bit chilly from winter.
I stepped on to the caterpillar look alike, slipped into seat 19 and watched the dark world pass by for the entirety of the long bus ride.

I walked into the cafeteria to wait with the rest of the student body for the bell to ring.
I sat at one of the tables near the back. Usually I would sit with my cousins, Ludwig and Gilbert, but on that day I was early so they weren't there yet.
Well... I guess I would sit more with Ludwig than Gilbert. Gilbert would usually run off to be loud and obnoxious elsewhere.
...But then again Ludwig would only sit with me until his friend Feliciano dragged him away. So I guess I really just sat by myself.
I pulled out a book and began reading. Sometime later my cousins arrived.
"Hey, Germania!" Gilbert said (shouted), running over to my lonely table. Gilbert was slightly taller than me (and wouldn't let me forget it), he had short pale hair, pale skin, and red eyes. Obviously he was an albino.
Ludwig approached seconds later, glaring at his loud older brother.
"Hello," I muttered, eyes not leaving the book.
"Hey! I'm not down in your book. Look at me when I talk to you!" the albino said irritably, pulling at my hair. I brushed away his hand and glared up at him.
"Hello," I repeated, not liking the arrogant smirk on his face. He always acted like he was older and better than me.
I glanced over to the blond sitting beside me whom was still glaring at his brother.
Ludwig and I looked a lot alike. We had the same blond hair, blue eyes (though mine were more of a blue-green), pale skin, and were around the same height (he was still slightly taller). But his hair was short, mine was long and he had a more 'manly' face. I couldn't count how many times I had been mistaken for a girl.
I returned my gaze back to my book as Gilbert ran off into the growing crowd of students. Ludwig was taken away soon after.
Well, at least they would be happy with their friends.
I didn't have any friends. I had issues with people. When I say issues I mean I had no desire to be around people, or to make conversation with them.
I was okay with being by myself.

The my beginning classes passed in a very long, boring blur.
Honors history, advanced math, art...
I made my way into my honors English class.
English was probably my least favorite class out of all of them. My teacher was crazy, I didn't like to do the work she chose for us, and my classmates were very, very loud.
"Okay class, I am giving you a new project today!" my teacher announced energetically as she passed out papers describing the project.
"You will all be partnered up with someone and you will have to write a two page essay on that person. Before you get all excited I already picked your partners for you so you won't be with a close friend. You should get to know this person as well as possible to get the best grade..." and she went on to explain the details of the project.
This is why I hated English. Now I had to get to know someone I was not familiar with and write an essay about them.
Ugh... And with my luck I would be paired up with someone stupid. Honestly I had no idea how some people got into the class with their tiny brains.
"Now I will announce the partners!..." she listed off a few names before calling my name along with.
"Rome,"
Then she went right along with her list.
Why him? Why him?
Rome, or rather Romulus, was a tall Burnett with brown eyes, tan skin, and two weird curls protruding from his messy hair.
He was also one of the more popular people in the school. He was good at everything, had probably slept with half the girls in school, and was one of the tiny brained morons I found very annoying.
"Okay then, you may go meet with your partners now," our teacher said, walking back to her desk.
I watched Rome move toward my desk and sit in the seat beside it.
"Hello~" he said enthusiastically. This surprised me a bit, usually people felt uncomfortable talking with me.
"Hi," I replied.
"So... I guess we're partners then. We should hang out after school~ What days are good for you? I'm good for all days because I don't do sports. Not that I'm not good at them I'm just too la-"
"Any day is fine," I interjected, cutting off his blabbering.
"Okay then! You can come over to my house tomorrow, okay?" he replied unfazed. He was probably used to people cutting him off with all the talking he did.
"Fine," I answered.
"Great!" Rome threw an arm around me in what I guess would be considered a friendly way, but I was not used to people touching me so I was very uncomfortable.
"This is going to be awesome~" he announced.
God help me...
XxxxX
A/N- Soooo... Ya. I really wanted to do a Rome/Germania fic because I love them and they need more love.
Another thing, I don't know exactly how tall the nations are so if I get it wrong I'm sorry.
Once again I don't know where I'm going with this but hopefully it gets somewhere.
I'm sorry for any mistakes. I'm trying to get better.
Also, I didn't want to set a date for the project so I could do whatever I want with it. So the date will remain undecided for now. Seriously though it sounds like something my English teacher would assign XP
I OWN NOTHING.
Have a nice day.
