47. Summer

Germany pulled at his collar irritably, the humid heat of Rome making him wish he hadn't given in to pleading eyes and pouting lips.

"What?" He asked a bit annoyed at yet another sideways glance from his brown-haired companion.

His ally grinned and dragged Germany away without an explanation until they reached a small cart where he began speaking in rapid Italian.

"Here!" His companion placed a cold cup of bright red ice shavings in his hand. Germany gave him an strange look.

He just grinned. "Don't you know? Gelato tastes best in the summer."

"Thanks...Italy."
