Love From Afar : Holy Roman Empire
A/N: Note that everyone thought that Chibitalia was a girl. This is also based on Vandetta Cosplay's CMVs
"Why won't she come here?" I mumbled into my pillow. "Why did that stupid old man take her away?" I continued to complain.
"I don't know. Ask him when he comes back." My older brother told me. I looked up at him, and saw my reflection in his crimson red eyes. It looked as though I was crying. He placed his hand on my head, and ruffled my hair. "Don't worry buddy. I'm sure she'll come over." He said, then he smiled brightly at me and my pathetic face. I smiled back, then sat up. "Hey," I started, he looked at me, "promise, you won't leave me?" I asked. He looked startled. "What's this all of the sudden?" He questioned. I put my pillow aside. "Well? Do you?" I repeated my question. He smiled, then made an "X" across his chest. "Promise." He said, I smiled, then hugged him.
Later on, the next year, I was walking back to my room after coming home from conquering - or, my brother and I tried conquering - Turkey and Greece, and there she was. My love to be was in the house. I hid as soon as she looked my way. And continued doing so, until my other - more uptight - brother introduced us to her. Even if I already knew who she was. I remember fighting my French brother over who keeps her, apparently the O.C.D one in the family won her...
It was disappointing really, or should I say embarrassing instead? My albino brother caught on the my love for the girl. A few weeks after she came, he mocked me at dinner by making kissing gestures to a fish then looking over at her. I blushed fiercely and mashed my potatoes until they were unrecognizable.
Every time I tried going near her, I'd get nervous, then end up running away. My brother urged me to try, but it was hopeless. He arranged a ride with just the two of us - me and her - but I jumped overboard and swam away. He had me confront her in the gardens, but I ended up pushing her down, then chickened out and ran to my room.
My brother joined me, I was hoping for a little pick-me-up lecture, but instead he slapped me upside the head. "What was that for?!" I shouted.
"You totally blew it!" He screamed back.
"It's not my fault!' I retaliated.
"Yes, it was! Now come with me!" He said, then he pulled me out of my room, and back outside. We stopped for a moment, he spun around a bit, searching for something, then he pulled out a small bouquet, handed it to me, then pulled me along again. He then stopped, pushed me into something and trotted away.
When I looked up to see what was in front of me, it was her. Her big brown eyes stared into my pale blue ones. I looked back at my albino brother - who was now behind bushes - and he gestured to the bouquet. So I looked back at her, and handed her the flowers. She took them, smelled them, then smiled at me. "They're-a pretty." She said in her cute Italian accent, I blushed, then smiled back at her.
Later on, that evening, we sat down by the lake, and watched the sunset. I was startled when she kissed my cheek. I blushed, then I heard my brothers cheering in the background. "Just-a ignore them." She said, I nodded, and we continued watching the sunset.
That night, I was too happy to sleep...
