Hey guys and I'm sorry I'm not doing anything on "Destiny's Bond" but I'm drawing a blank on ideas for that story. If you guys have ideas for the next chapter on that story, you can put it in a review and I'll see what I can do. For now, I'm going to work on this new fic.
This is an idea me and a friend of mine, liondancer17 (check out her stories if you like Hetalia stories with deep, emotional stuff in it), had and she insisted on me doing the fic for it. So here you go with a Hetalia Axis Powers fic that will truly keep you entertained (hopefully). By the way, the name of this fic is "Truth" in German.

Chapter 1: Verita
XX (Italy's POV) XX
Feliciano had come to realise that his friend, Ludwig, wasn't acting like himself lately and it was starting to worry him. Whenever he would ask what's going on, Ludwig would just wave it off and act like nothing was wrong. Feliciano took notice to the fact that the German had a distant look in his eyes at all times, as if in deep thought. Ludwig would sometimes walk up to Feliciano, looking at him as if he wanted to say something, but continue walking without saying a word.
Today, Feliciano was at home, still worried about his friend and what was troubling him. He mostly worried about Ludwig because of his feelings toward him. His feelings were not so much friendly, but...more-than-friends. When Feliciano looked at the German, he saw how his cornflower eyes sparkled in the light, how his waist had a kind of feminine look to it, and found it weird that out of the many times he saw Ludwig without his over shirt on, he never saw him completely shirtless. As he sat, eating his lunch and thinking, the phone began to ring, pulling him out of his thoughts. He picked it up and waited for someone to speak.
"Um... Hello Feli." Feliciano instantlly recognized the German accent and replied in his normally chipper, perky voice.
"Ciao Ludwig! What are you doing?" Feliciano could have sworn that he heard the voice of Ludwig's older brother, Gilbert, in the background. It almost sounded like he was yelling at Ludwig, but he couldn't make out what had been said. He soon heard Ludwig take a deep breath and continue to talk.
"I...wanted to ask if you could...drop by my home later today... It's okay if you can't." He seemed to hesitate before adding the last part and had a sort of a soft, depressed tone to his voice. This made the Italian uneasy because he didn't know if Ludwig was okay or not.
"Are you alright, Ludwig? You don't sound too good."The Italian spoke, worry colouring his voice.
"Ja, I'm fine Feli." He heard a kind of strain to his friends voice but he continued. "I...just need to talk to you in person."
"Si. I'll be over soon." After he said this, there was a short silence, soon followed by a noise from Ludwig confirming what had been said. They both said good bye and hung up. The Italian then got up, sat his plate in the sink, and went get ready to leave, lost in thought the whole time.

After Ludwig hung up the phone, he turned around to see Gilbert smirking at him, seemingly mocking his entire conversation with Feliciano. His scarlet eyes glittered with mirth, and the German winced.
"What are you smiling about?" Ludwig questioned with one eyebrow up, anticipating his answer.
"You have kept this entire act up for, like, forever and he still hasn't figured it out? Wow, this guy is way smart." Gilbert exclaimed, sarcasim colouring his voice so perfectly that it seemed as if it was always there. The younger German simply crossed his arms and shook his head.
"He hasn't figured out yet because I haven't let him know yet, not because he's a slow person." Ludwig said, the same tone with his voice that had never changed, with a hint of agitation because of Gilbert. He then brushed past his older brother on his way to get ready for Feli's arrival. As he walked by, Gilbert caught his arm.
"Seriously. He's going to be surprised." Gil said. His tone was flat, but there was...something underneath it.
"I know. But I have to tell him. He will accept me...I know it." Ludwig replied. Gil still didn't look at him.
"For his sake, I hope so."

Feliciano was fully ready to head to Ludwig's house when he stopped. What if Ludwig was going to say he didn't want to be his friend anymore? What if he did all this just to string him along and give him false hope? As these things passed through the Italian's mind, dread built up inside him. He never wanted these things to happen and hoped they didn't. It was then he realized that he was gripping the door knob so tight that his knuckles were white. He took a long, shaky breath and proceeded to the German's house.

The Italian had finally reached Ludwig's home after much hesitation. He hesitated to knock, his hands clenching into fists at his side, slowly turning white. He then raised one shaking, white fist and knocked a couple of times on the door. He waited for what seemed like 5 minutes before turning to leave. Then he heard the door open and turned back around to see his friend standing there, motioning with his hand for him to enter.
Feliciano stepped inside, still captivated by how wonderful Ludwig's home was. It was much cleaner and a lot more organized than his home. His eyes lit up like a child's as they took in the sight. Then his gaze landed on the one who invited him, Ludwig. His eyes unconciously looked him up and down, taking in everything about him. His gaze trailed up to his eyes and stop. There was something to them that just made them shine against even a dim light. He then moved his gaze to his lips. They seem to have a feminine look to them. His mind started to wander and he found that the German's face would always turn a light red when he hugged him, and how embarassed he would get when the Italian would compliment him. Also, even though Ludwig was taller than Gilbert and seemed to have a bigger build, he actually had very slender shoulders. Feliciano also realised that Ludwig's waist was soft when hugging him and how his hand were delicate, even after all the wars he had been through. Most of all, the Italian noticed that Ludwig's eyes seemed to soften when he smiled. This made Feliciano very curious, considering that he hadn't showed this much emotional change with anyone else.
Feliciano was so deep in thought that he forgot he had been staring at the one whom his thoughts were based upon. He blinked a couple of times to clear his vision and blushed, turning away.
"Mi dispiace, I'm sorry for staring. So what did you want to talk to me about?" He spoke these words with an anticipating expression, the only other thing on his face was the slowly decreasing blush.
"W-Well I had s-something to t-tell you that I couldn't t-tell you over the ph-phone." Ludwig looked away and shook nervously and Feliciano's eyes widened. He had never heard his friend so nervous before, and this made him even more anxious to know what the German was about to tell him. So he decided to speed up the process by asking questions.
"Ludwig, what is it? What is it that your trying to tell me?" Feliciano took a few steps toward his friend, hoping to comfort him enough for him to calm down.
"Nun...I...I...Feli...I..." The German hesitated before adding, "Feli...do you...like me?" The Italian blinked and stepped closer.
"Of course, I like you. Why would you ask that?" Feliciano asked as he stopped in front of Ludwig, cocking his head to the side in question.
"Because...what if...I changed?" At this, Feliciano was further confused. Then the thought of him losing his friend floated back into his mind. He shook his head to rid himself of the impending dread and spoke.
"What do you mean by that, Ludwig?" As these words danced off of Feliciano's lips, Ludwig looked up and met his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Feli but...that's...not my name." Once the words left his mouth, Feliciano was rendered speechless.
