Songfic Challenge (again)
Damage Inc. – Metallica
Luciano grinned madly, looking at the mutilated bodies lying lifelessly around his feet. Blood still dripped from his hands; the knife had dropped to his feet. One of the voices in his head was laughing maniacally, while another cried pitifully. Still a third screamed that this was wrong, and asked why and how he'd gotten here. To be truthful, Luciano did know the answer. He just didn't want to say it. Being crazy just for the sake of being crazy was much more fun than having motivation. Claud was walking toward him, and Luciano bent down to grab the knife. He was stopped just as his hand touched the hilt. The Holy Roman Empire was hugging him, for no apparent reason.
"I know how you were hurt. Don't be ashamed."
Home Sweet Home/Bittersweet Symphony – Limp Bizkit
After he had been mercilessly resurrected by a magic-bearing country, The Holy Roman Empire trudged back to his old home, only to find it wasn't there. He cursed silently, he'd known that he had been dead for so long, but that was no excuse to destroy his home. He heard a shocked curse from behind him and heard the familiar whirring of a blade being unsheathed. He turned around to see Italy, his Italy, holding a sword to his chin. The Holy Roman Empire smiled, happy to see Italy. Maybe he had found home after all.
Re-Education (Through Labor) - Rise Against
The day Luciano realized that everything was hopeless, and that hurting people brought him joy was the day that he also realized that Claud, the Holy Roman Empire, was dead and was not, in fact, returning (like he promised). The fact that the bastard would even THINK about breaking a promise made Italy want to kill something, when he actually did break his promise Italy went crazy. He'd already been crazy, but waiting and dreaming (uselessly and pathetically) that Claud would come back finally snapped. He wouldn't crawl on his knees to the man, wouldn't cry another tear for him, Luciano was DONE. Perhaps he found release in hurting others, perhaps it was a transfer of his anger. Neither he nor anyone else could ever figure it out.
Don't Trust Me – 3OH!3
Being young and innocent was wonderful. Luciano had fallen deep and hard for Claud, despite his (much more refined) brother's warnings against the man. Claud was flighty, untrustworthy and conceited. Luciano's older brother kept saying that Claud would leave him, but Luciano would hear nothing of it. Claud loved him, didn't he? He always said so. He certainly knew how to show it. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a voice echoed his brother's warnings. That voice only grew stronger as Luciano grew, until the day that Claud left and never came back.
Flash – Queen
"CLAUD! AH-AH, SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!" Claud sang at the top of his lungs, as he burst into Luciano's room.
Luciano groaned, the man was an idiot. A conceited, annoying idiot. Sometimes he wondered why he even kept him around; he certainly had the capability to get rid of him…
"CLAUD! AH-AH, HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!" He continued to sing, clenching his fist as if it held a microphone.
But then again, if Flash Gordon couldn't be killed, maybe he couldn't kill Claud either. However, it would be for different reasons that Claud's life would be spared, Luciano admitted to himself as his boyfriend continued to make a complete fool of himself.
