Germany was lying in bed, his breathing steady. The night was a peaceful one, the kind where you leave your window open and you can hear the crickets make their mating calls and see the fireflies blink adding to the stars in the night sky. The moon was full, a large pure-white circle embedded into the sky, surrounded by the bright little dots strewn aimlessly about to form the constellations. Germany looked out his window, felt the warm breeze, sighed, and relaxed. His day had been stressful enough.

"Veh," Italy let out a small noise, betraying his hiding spot in the doorway overlooking his friend.

And speaking of things that had made the day stressful, the one Germany could never have. Italy. Oh, if only he hadn't spent the extra minute staring at him!

"Ja, Italia, vat is it?" Germany asked, rolling over to face his friend.

"Veh, Germany, do you want me to sleep with you?" Italy asked.

'That's odd…Italy never asks to sleep with me.'"Sure Italy," Germany said, pulling the thin sheet back for the Italian to climb in.

"Veh, thank you Germany!" Italy said, snuggling next to the larger man. Germany looked over at Italy, and smiled as small smile that he only gave him. Italy sighed contently.

As the night wore on, the crickets ceased chirping, the fireflies disappeared, and the stars became more radiant around the moon. The air had cooled, and both nations had begun to talk since they couldn't fall asleep.

"Italy?"

"Hm?"

"You said you had something to tell me…"

"Oh, yes…that…"

"You didn't really have anything to say, did you?"

"No," Italy said to Germany "I didn't. But you just seemed so blue, I thought I'd try and cheer you up! Veh."

"Danke. I appreciate it," Germany replied, touched that the Italian would do such a thing for him. Both nations yawned, closed their eyes, and gently drifted to sleep listening to each-others slow and steady breathing.

I'm sorry that this is short, but my dad is making something and it smells terrible. I may have a sinus infection, but I can still smell 'tomato-bean-soup'. Does not smell good. Constructive criticism is good. So is your basic 'I like this' review. Please choose one option or make up your own. Thankee for reading my crap this far!
