As the meeting ended, Japan stood with his husband, his eyes shifting to the two Italians as they came over. The older looking hesitant, Japan glanced at the brothers. He hoped this wasn't as bad as he felt it would be.

They left, taking the elevator to the roof. America giving no explanation as to why they had to talk on the roof. Japan kept his eyes to the floor, worried if he looked up he would break his code of silence. His code of not revealing America's treatment of him.

Then the doors opened to the roof, their clothes and hair wiping around in the soft breeze. But no one stopped as they moved to the middle of the roof. "Stop." America ordered and pulled out his pistol.

Japan looked up, and jumped back. "America! What are you doing?!" Japan shouted, startled. Only to be glared at and told to shut his mouth. The Italians gaped and backed away.

"America, hey, buddy. You don't need to attack us!" North Italy said, holding up his hands. "You two have something I want… and I intend to get it." America said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" South Italy gaped, his hands in fists, moving to protect the younger of them. The American shook his head, stalking forward to seize the Southern Half. "Only one of you know and I'm sure I know who."

The American held the southern Italian by the back of his neck, "Kill your brother." He snarled into his ear. Kiku panicked, "Alfred!" He called, "Shut it Kiku. It needs to be done."

The blonde forced the gun, that had a red trigger, into the hazel eyed nations hands. "Pull the trigger Romano." America said.

"Just do it, Lovino."

"Feliciano, I can't!"

"Do it… I love you so much. Protect Il tesoro del nonno."

"I love you too, baby brother!" Romano cried, streams of tears flowing from his hazel eyes.

A loud bang, and a thunk. A nation falls in front of Japan's eyes and he's pulled away as America takes his gun back.

Romano drops to his knees and sobbed loudly. His body, pained, as he took the role of full nation.

And with that, North Italy falls.
