Love Once Lost, Love Once Gained.

My name is Roderich. Roderich Edelstein. And this is my story of falling in love, falling out of love and lusting after a complete and utter fool.

Let's backtrack, shall we?

Let me properly introduce myself first. My name is Roderich Edelstein, but I am most commonly known as Austria, or Osterreich by my fellow German nations. I'm twenty three in appearance, yet my true age I wish not to reveal. I'm 5'4, 135 pounds, with the background of an Aristocrat, a noble. I have chestnut colored short hair, with an awful curl that simply would not stay down, Mariazell is what it represents. I have violet colored eyes that I hide behind a pair of glasses. I'm pale, not as pale as that moronic albino Prussian per se but pale nevertheless. I have, unfortunately, a mole right to the left of my lips, which is embarrassingly enough an erogenous spot for me.

I am currently single, though I have had previous relationships. One being a marriage with Antonio, or as you may know him Spain. That relationship was surprisingly joyful, he was a very kind soul to me and did not mind protecting me. I would not mind taking that relationship back up. I was also married to Elizaveta, or Hungary to you, that was for both political and personal reasons. We had a simple, easygoing, gentle relationship. Not as natural as it was for Toni and myself, but still enjoyable. I remember many fond times with Elizaveta. I am well aware of Lizzy's feelings for me, thanks to aforementioned Prussian, and I can honestly say I do not return them. I have also had a relationship with Vash, Switzerland, when I was younger. Sadly, I had messed that up terribly and now we no longer talk. Mainly because he hates my guts, but I do believe I do deserve it. I can remember Vash, always patching me up, helping me, comforting me, loving me. Will I ever get that back? I could be satisfied with simply a friendly relationship with the Swiss boy.

Shall I tell you about my personality? I have a horrible habit of putting hobbies before work. Some of my hobbies tend to be baking, playing music, gardening, and reading. I am an Aristocrat at heart, a product from the Habsburg being my royalty, my leaders. I act cold and uncaring to others, not wanting to show weakness to potential enemies. I, embarrassingly enough, am a true romantic at heart. This has been revealed many times before. I have a very arguesome personality and do quite enjoy arguing, perhaps this is why Toni and I's relationship worked nicely, he is always willing to argue because he understood that was what I enjoyed. He was always so willing to do what I wished... And I did not do anything for him, I feel so guilty. But he's happy now, with that snobby, brash Italian, Lovino. If only I could change the past, so that I could be happy just as he is, with him.
