Germany always woke up before Italy. Always, save the time the great Roman Empire was in his bed, rubbing cheeks with Italy, and keeping him up all night. Most of the time, it was Italy making a mess of his clean room, leaving things everywhere and whatnot. And he always managed to find his way into Germany's bed.
It was these few minutes that Germany cherished most. The few minutes where Italy was quite and still, where nobody could come in and interrupt the large blonde man from doing what he wanted to the sleeping Italian. Not like Italy would notice—he wouldn't wake up, even if the bed was on fire.
Staring, Germany did every day before he got up and made breakfast for himself, he took in Italy's every feature. His silky auburn hair, closed eyes, his tan skin, and his delicate features. Sometimes, on the more lonely mornings, Germany would put his cold and chapped lips onto the smooth and warm skin of his friend. It was hideous, these feeling that he knew he was suppressing. He knew that the Italian man beside him was so wonderful, even if was a nuisance to him at times. There was a sort of…connection. Though the German man did his best to hide it, sometimes those feelings really crept through.
"Veh," Italy said in his sleep as he nuzzled up against his friend.
A blush spread across his face as Germany realized that he couldn't move, and if he did Italy would fall out of bed.
"Italy…" Germany barely whispered.
Germany wrapped his thick, strong arms around the Italian's thin body. Italy relaxed and let his strong protector hold him, but when his friend was almost asleep, he unintentionally screwed up.
"Holy Rome…I love you…and I missed you…so much," Italy mumbled.
'Holy Rome? Who is this Holy Rome?' Germany thought, horrified.
Germany untangled his body from his companions and got dressed, hurried downstairs, and began breakfast. He was never meant to be with Italy, and now he knew it.
Derp, this was SUPPSODED to be a one-shot! And now it's a story! Shoot me and flame me, I deserve it, since I SHOULD be working on my five other stories! But I'll finish this first, I like it.
