Chapter 4
Luna refused to meet her crush's eyes as he helped her up to her room, while Vesuvius asks question after question of England until lunch is done, and he sends america to go get Germany and Luna. They were sitting in her room in an awkward silence, or at least it was until America burst in like a jerk yelling "ITS TIME FOR LUNCH!"
Luna nodded and said, "Ok we will be down shortly" as Germany began to help her to her feet.
"Bb sj rjw I'd ft GBP hi ejevd cry yt?" Was America's reply. He yelled it as he ran back down the stairs. It took a few seconds before Luna realized he was imitating Germany's accent. Luna sighed and moaned, wincing as she set her broken ankle on the floor.
"Thanks for staying up here with me." She said to Germany, blushing a little as he replied.
"Ja, it was no problem. Do you need help getting back downstairs?"
"I think I will be fine. You should get back to Italy now, just incase he gets hurt." Germany reluctantly walks down the stairs, walking slowly in order to catch her if she were to fall behind him, and wondering how Italy could possibly get hurt just eating lunch, then remembers that it's Italy. How could he NOT get hurt, right? Luna followed him while trying to hide her pain. She took her time to admire him. He is so handsome...But with Akio around...he won't be safe... she thought. The two hear another unintelligible yell from the kitchen, followed by a loud SMACK and America yelling 'ow'. "I wonder what he did now" Luna muttered.
After lunch America decided on his plan. He began step 1: obtain magic transportation. "Yo Iggy, can I borrow your car? I promise I'll drive on the right side of the road!"
He had said it so joyfully, he was sure England would say yes. But, he didn't. Instead he replied like this: "Don't call me that you wanker! And you can only use my car if you drive on the LEFT side of the road! The LEFT!"
America restates, saying he meant that he would drive on the correct side of the road, and once he has permission, grabs Vesuvius's hand, shouting back to the group as he leaves. "Hope y'all won't mind if I take HER with me then!" And slams the front door before Luna can even get out of her chair.
"England…" She says. "You just made the biggest mistake ever. Remember last time you let him drive your car, and he said he was going to drive on the correct side of the road?"
England was glad she didn't seem too worried about the fact that he had left with Vesuvius, and decided not to sell him out on it. "Yea, it's ok. He won't be driving it for long, he's probably just going to the airport." As he said that he realized that that would set her on edge. He starts chanting the song of years, which will paralyze her if she steps out of the room.
Luna nodded and stood up. "Well I don't know about you guys, but I am going out. I need to think about some things." She side glanced at Germany as she passed him, before stumbling out of the room. The paralyzation spell set off just as she walked out of the room, causing her to start panicking.
England starts explaining before she got too panicked. "It's not the voodoo," He starts, getting her attention. "I'm sorry, Luna, but I cannot allow you to follow them."
She quietly said, "I'm not going to follow them. I really am just going out, England"
He narrows his eyes at her. "Explain to me why I don't believe you."
"GOD DAMN IT! CAN'T YOU FUCKING TELL I HAVE A LOT OF SHIT ON MY DAMN MIND! OR DID YOU FORGET OUR CONVERSATION FROM LIKE, TWO FUCKING HOURS AGO?!" Luna screamed at him, her face totally red with anger and her eyes flashing.
England nearly fell out of his chair. "Oh, ok. I suppose that you aren't going to follow them." He quickly undos the spell and adds, "But I would prefer if you took someone with you, in your state..."
"...I'm fine England. I… just need to be alone right now." She stormed out of the house before anyone could say anything else, then limped over to a nearby park. There she fell and cried, nearly jumping out of her skin when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. Turning quickly, she just barely noticed who it was before she slapped them in the face. It was Germany. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you!" She hastily apologized.
Germany just brushed it off and sat next to her. "England sent me to keep an eye on you." He said as he looked at her, worried. "Why were you crying?"
She looked away. "I just have a lot on my mind."
"Like vat?" His face is so strong, even when he's worried… Luna thinks to herself.
She blushed shyly and curled up the best she could on the ground, not saying anything to him. Germany watched her for a moment, very confused, then just picked her up and started carrying her back to the house. Looking at the sky as he walked, he said, "Well, it's going to start raining soon. We should get back inside."
"I don't mind being in the rain" Luna protested weakly.
"You should, do you want to get ill?" Germany retorted.
"I'm a demon...I don't get sick very easily" She said.
"You're not used to people caring about you, are you?" Germany's voice has a hint of annoyance in it now.
Quick to try and fix it, Luna explains. "No...you know my past...I was abused by my ex, Akio." Germany realizes how mean he just was and apologises, not saying anything else until they are almost back to the house.
"We WILL get him back for this, for hurting you so much." He looks her in the eyes. "I will not rest until he suffers for his wrongdoings towards you."
Luna is so surprised at such an extreme response from Germany that she didn't think before responding. "Normally you only do that for Italy" She says.
Germany waits a long second before answering. "Not only Italy. I- I find that I feel very protective of all the friends I have come to know because of him." He put her down on the front step, and sat next to her as he continued. "You, Japan, England, America, and even France. I feel that I owe it to all of you, to get rid of those who take the smile from your face, because of your friendship that gave me mine."
I see… He only sees me as a friend... Luna's heart throbbed at the words, but she hid her pain. "Well, I am glad I could help you." Germany nodded and looked a little sad as he watched Luna, lost deep in thought. All of a sudden his phone rings. When he looks at the caller id he sees that it's Prussia.
"What is it bruder?" He asked in a very tense voice. He listens for a bit and then looks confusedly at Luna. "Are you sure bruder? Alright, I'll put her on." He turns and gives the phone to Luna. "He, wants to speak with you."
She took it and answered angrily. "Hello, Prussia. What is it this time?"
