~You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid of letting go~
"Why do you have to leave Fratello? Why does he have to leave? Why can't he stay with us?" Veneziano looked up at Austria trying to make sense of the situation. Even though Romano was rude sometimes, he was still Veneziano's brother, they should stay together! At least… That was what Grandpa Rome told Feliciano.
~The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind~
"Come along Italy. You are coming to work for me now. Your brother is going to Spain's house." Roderich attempted to drag the younger Italy away, but his efforts were in vain. The boy was kicking and screaming, struggling to be with his brother. Surprisingly, Romano wasn't flipping him off like usual. In fact, he looked almost teary eyed.
~Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way of letting go~
Finally, Romano's resolve broke and he ran to his brother. Ripping him out of Austria's arms, Lovino held Feliciano's sobbing form, soothing words flowing quietly out of his mouth.
"Shh. It's okay Fratello. Il suo bene. Tutto andrà bene. Non ti preoccupare." (It's alright. Everything will be okay. Don't worry.) Their native tongue achieved its goal and the sobs slowly eased.
~This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes~
"Don't leave me Lovi! I don't want to be alone!" Romano's heart was breaking, he couldn't bear to see his younger brother like this. Still, he couldn't do anything about it.
"I'm sorry Feli. I'm so, so sorry."
~When words aren't warm enough
To keep away the cold, oh no~
Spain and Austria, tired of waiting, moved forward to take the brothers out of each other's embrace. However, they both stopped in their tracks at what they saw. Both of the brothers had seen the other's future caretaker walking towards them and had scowled so evilly that the older nations had stopped. Neither of the boys wanted to waste any time, so they held on for just a little longer.
~This ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends~
"Don't worry Fratello. We will find each other again. We will unite and become one Italy. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday we will. And then we will be strong." Lovino wiped away Feliciano's stray tears and stepped back slightly. Veneziano knew then that he might not see his brother the same way for a long time and lunged forward for one last hug.
~But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been~
"You promise me Lovi? Promise me you will stay Lovino. Don't just become Romano. Please, stay like this for me. I can't bear for you to stop being who you are along with being gone." Feliciano looked up once and knew that his brother would try his hardest. That was all he could ask for. Finally, they both stepped back and walked towards their new caretakers.
~As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye~
Walking away, Spain and Romano heard a faint cry, but only the younger nation understood it.
"Te lo prometto fratello. Ti troverò e ci saranno entrambi l'Italia insieme." (I promise you brother. I will find you and we will both be Italy together.) Silent tears streamed down Lovino's cheeks at his brother's words. As the older nations left with their new charges they knew that the brothers would someday find each other and unite. And there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.
This one was less romantic and more brotherly angst. Between chibitalia and chibi!Romano if you can't tell. I just couldn't think of another situation where the song would fit in their past you know? And as much as I LOVE to ship these two together, (ITACEST ALL THE WAY!) I didn't want to do it at such a young age.
Please let me know what you think or if you have ideas for what I should do after GerIta. If I don't think of anything I will probably just label this story as my very first complete one and be on my way. Flames are welcome (when aren't they?), I shall use them to get rid of things I don't want anyone else to ever see.
Disclaimer: You know... normally I put authors notes and stuff at the top and bottom of my story. And the Disclaimer is always at the top. I guess I'm trying something new you know? ANYWAYS! I no own, you no sue, we all eat ice cream. Simple right?
See y'all later!
