Pretty Pictures

"Germany! Paint with me!" Italy laughed and spun in his chair before patting the one next to him. "Come on!"

"Feliciano… you know I can't paint." Ludwig sighed approaching him with paints in his hand. "Here." He mumbled while handing them to him.

"Of course you can! You just hafta try! Pleaaaase Ludwig!" Feliciano begged and handed him a brush. Ludwig let out an exasperated sigh before sitting next to the Italian. Feliciano grinned and began to paint on the blank easel before pressuring Ludwig to do the same.

"Like this?" Germany muttered under his breath and put the brush against the easel. He made a straight black line that looked boring compared to Italy's many colors and squiggly lines. He frowned just looking at the Italian's easel.

"Si! You can start like that!" Feliciano chirped happily. It seemed as if he could never be unhappy. Feliciano continued to dip his brush in the many paints he had while Ludwig only seemed to use red, yellow, brown, and black. Colors covered the easel of Italy and he only seemed to smile and get happier as he went along.

"Italy, what are you painting?" Germany tried to peek over but failed as it was covered by Italy's body.

"It's a surprise!" Italy grinned. Germany frowned at this, why wouldn't he tell him? Didn't he trust the German? They were allies, weren't they supposed to trust each other?

"How is Ludwig's painting going?" Feliciano asked and peeked over the other's shoulder.

"No! You can't see mine either… I-It's a surprise too!" Ludwig mumbled and covered his own picture. Maybe the Italian was covering his picture for the same reason as him? That calmed him a bit. He turned to look at Italy, he was pouting.

"Germany! Please, can I see!?" Italy continued to try peeking over Germany's shoulder but Germany blocked him perfectly.

"Sh-Show me yours first!" Ludwig exclaimed, blushing slightly. It wasn't that big of a deal, Feliciano probably wouldn't show him his anyway. Then, Ludwig wouldn't have to show it to him.

"Ok!" Feliciano smiled as he showed off his painting. It was a painting of the Axis Powers all together in a field. Italy was hugging Germany with his usual humongous grin. Germany had a small smile plastered on his face while Japan seemed to be studying a flower in the background. It was… lovely. Ludwig wasn't sure how to describe it but it warmed his heart to look at it.

"Now let me see yours Ludwig!" Feliciano tried to look but Ludwig continued to cover it.

"It doesn't look good!" Ludwig mumbled. Italy frowned.

"Let me see!" Feliciano shoved. Ludwig finally allowed him to see. There were two stick figures on top of a hill of grass. One had a brown mop of hair with one curled hair that stood out and the other had yellow hair that was made neat and circular. In between the two was a tiny red heart. Feliciano grinned from ear to ear.

"I love it, Germany!" he chirped even happier than when they had started painting. He kissed the other on the cheek and skipped to the door.

"Let's go play outside!" Italy smiled.

"Yeah, let's." Germany got up and walked after the Italian, blushing slightly.
