First hetalia fanfic.
OC: Maria, 6 years old, Feliciano's daughter.
AU: Modern World, CSI type things
Trigger/Warnings: Torture, foul language, homophobia, other horrible things if I feel like it.
This has not been beta-ed and this is a part of NaNoWriMo so things will be awkward. The only reason I am posting this is because my Hetalia friends asked me to post this.

"Papa!" A bright and sunny voice from somewhere within Feliciano Varga's apartment.
"Yes, sweetheart?" The brunette asked when the little girl came out of her room. Feliciano was in the kitchen, making both of them breakfast. This was an everyday ritual for the past 4 years ever since Feliciano got full custody of Maria Vargas, his darling six year old daughter. Many people said that she and Feliciano were siblings, and no one wanted to believe that the bright and sunny 27 year old NYPD cop had been married earlier. But he was. And the history of the family that the married Feliciano wasn't that great either.
But everything was under control now. No one wanted to hurt Maria, and Feliciano had boat loads of support. If it sucked being a single dad, it must've sucked about ten times more being a single mom.
"Can I wear my dress to school today?" Maria asked, showing Feliciano the white and green polka dotted dress. Feliciano sighed, rolled his eyes and flipped a pancake onto a plate. "Pretty pretty please?" She asked, her brown eyes turning into sad puppy eyes, and the hair curl that she inherited from Feliciano drooping.
Feliciano sighed again. It was a lost war, like there was ever any war. But Feliciano had long learned that some little things could be just forgotten about. That included mismatched socks, a stuffed dog sitting on the fridge, and the overload of stickers on their portable DVD player. "Sure. Just please don't play in the mud again, sweetie." Feliciano said. He could cook, but he always sucked at laundry.
"Okay!" Maria grinned and disappeared to her room. The sound of her humming resonated through the apartment as Feliciano's cell phone buzzed. It was his co-workers number, and the text said that their captain wanted Feliciano on the scene by 10. It was nine twenty and he still had to drop Maria off at school. Feliciano dialed his best friend's number and grimaced.
"Hey Phoniex?" Feliciano asked once the other side picked up. "Do you also have the day off today?" Feliciano asked. An angry voice on the other side cursed him off. "Well, I don't anymore, so if you could stop by my apartment and pick Maria up. Why? Because she still needs to get to school and I just got a duty call. I know. I'm sorry. I owe you one, okay?" Feliciano asked. He hung up and called his daughter into the room. "Sweetie, I have to go to work again, so Uncle Phoniex is going to pick you up, okay?" Feliciano asked. Maria frowned.
"But you promised me that we were going to the park today." Maria pouted. Feliciano sighed, ruffling her hair.
"You promised, daddy, you promised. And breaking a promise is bad." She said.
"I know it is. So maybe I should learn from this and stop making promises that I might end up breaking." Felicianosaid. A knock on the door sounded. "I bet that that's Uncle Phoniex." Feliciano said before opening the door. And it was Phoniex, one pissed off Phoniex, though. "Hey, hun."
"Stop kissing up to me. Go on. You owe me though." Phoniex said, handing Feliciano his messenger bag and nearly pushing him out the door. "And I'll take her to the park, too, don't worry." Phoniex said. "Go! Our captain is a-" Phoniex mouthed a word that was forbidden to reach Maria's ears and Feliciano laughed. "Please leave before I have to watch your angel for more than 9 hours. Hey you know what? How about the next time we're both off and they call me out, you go out? Wait..." He trailed off.
"I have to run, Feliks, we'll figure all of this out later." Feliciano said. Feliks scowled.
"Stop calling me that while you still have your teeth. And your tongue." Feliks said, slamming the door in Feliciano's face.

Feliciano arrived at the PD about fifteen minutes before he needed to be there. "Yo, Vargas! I thought that you had the day off!" A certain annoying person called out to Feliciano.
"Yes, Alfred, I did have the day off and I planned to spend it with Maria, but no, they needed me and my smart brain at work today. And now I owe Phoniex one, and it's kinda wearing me out. All of the getting pulled in from a day off into work is just so exhusting." Feliciano said. "Now go away, I don't have the energy to deal with you right now. Or anyone else for that matter." Feliciano said. Alfred slowly drifted away, as Feliciano went into the break room. But in there, there was another challenge. Or two challenges for that matter. And their names were Ludwig and Liz.
"Happy early birthday, Ludwig." Feliciano deadpanned as he took a beeline to the coffee machine.
"That thing's dead." Liz reported.
"Are you kidding me?" Feliciano glared at Liz. "The only decent coffee that we ever get when we're on shift is currently unavailable."
Liz just laughed, as Ludwig took a nice look at his coffee and sighed. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger. That's why I live on Red Bull. But no, you can't have any. Mine. My Red Bull. Hisssss."
"It seems like you don't even need the Red Bull." Feliciano said.
"Here. This is my second one today. I don't think I really need it as much as you do. And I really already don't like your presence that much and you without coffee is just going to be horrible. For everyone on this team." Ludwig said, as Feliciano accepted the coffee. Liz looked over the exchange that just happened and busted out laughing. "What?"
"I don't know, maybe your douchebag of a brother was right about something for once in his life." She said. Ludwig just glared at her. "Hey, I'm just saying. You never know where you're going to find your soulmate or when you find out who you are." Liz said.
Ludwig nearly snarled. "I'm going to take back that coffee and throw it at you." Liz's eyes darkened under her neon green hair.
"Don't you dare. I just got a new piercing and it's painful as it is and if you throw scalding coffee on it, I will punch you." She said.
"What'd you get?" Feliciano asked. Liz lifted up her hair and showed the two the back of her neck. Two circles were on it, connected by a bar under the skin.
"It's called a nape piercing. It hurts like hell but I love it." She said, gently letting down her hair.
Feliciano nodded as he looked at Ludwig. "So, Ludwig, why did you want to throw coffee on my dear Lizzy in the first place?" Feliciano asked.
"Long story. And isn't today your day off?"
"Long story. And it's your birthday this weekend? What are you going to do? Throw a mini party in your local pub? Just sit at home and drink beer?" Feliciano asked. Ludwig towered over the Italian, glaring at him. The 3 inches difference in their heights makes Ludwig a little bit intimidating.
"Actually, my idiot bruder is going to help me out with the whole birthday situation. He's going to first buy me a beer at the local pub-" Feliciano snorted. "And then he's going to take me to a strip club since I'm still a bachelor. The thing is, he might take me to male or female strip club on Saturday." Ludwig said. Liz was trying to hide her laughter by forcing herself to drink her Red Bull, but she just ended up spewing it all over the counter.
"Okay, but or? He better take you to the male strip club. Those are actually kinda hilarious. And intriguing." Feliciano said. He blushed heavily at the last two words, making both Liz and Ludwig stare at him.
Liz just looked over the Ludwig. "Does Gilbert know something that we don't know?" She asked Ludwig. Ludwig shrugged.
"Because it seems like it." She said.
"I don't know. But nothing's ever going to happen." Ludwig said. Liz rolled her eyes.
"That's what they said when we wanted to fly to the moon. You kinda have a crush on my Feli, and you're just too shy to admit it." Liz said. Ludwig didn't answer, beginning to turn shades of red.
"EXCUSE ME BUT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING OUT?!" Ludwig shouted, and a frustrated snarl sounded from a half asleep blonde on the couch.
"Ludwig, do you always need to fucking scream? I don't care if you have a crush on Feli or if you've already shared beds, all I want right now is a little bit of sleep and lot of quiet. And if you ask my view about this, I'm going to tell you that you probably do have a little crush on Feliciano and you're just afraid of telling him or yourself that because that'll mess your friendship up." The blonde said.
Ludwig gritted his teeth, curling his fist into tight balls. "Thank you for you view on this, Francis, but I didn't ask you for you view and I also don't understand why the two of you and my brother think that I'm gay. Because I'm not. I'm straight. I like women." Ludwig said. Liz nearly ran off laughing because she didn't want to be around Ludwig laughing.
"Um, why did Panda just run out of the room laughing so hard that she was almost crying?" A punk looking blonde asked coming into the room. He was British, had many tattoos, and his name was Arthur so many people called him "King Arthur" whenever they felt like being mean.
"Your frog just told Ludwig that he needs to get his ass out of Narnia and then Ludwig went off on a mini rant about how not gay he is." Feliciano said. "Oh and both Panda and Francis told him that he has a crush on me. I'm not really sure as to how I want to respond to this news. It's confusing me." Feliciano said. A moment of radio silence passed, or so it felt to Feliciano and then everything went black.
