I wish it were a little longer but I wanted to get this done before I started eating my pie and I was almost done, plus my brain decided to die on me so I hope you enjoy~
Germany pulls the trigger and the world goes silent. Italy's body lying down on the floor, his shoulder bleeding. Germany stares at it trying to soak in what he had just done. Did he really just shoot Italy? A soft noise tunes him back into the real world.
"That's a shame ve, I love you..." Italy passes out. Germany's eyes widen as those words repeat in his mind over and over again. I love you... He starts to feel the gaze of the soldier's and countries burn into him. He looks over and they all turn their heads to avoid eye contact. He slowly walks over and kneels down next to Italy. He slowly reaches over and moves the hair out of his face.
"I'm sorry Italy..." He picks him up and heads to the ground of people. "Um... You all go back to vere you are from, take the ships, anything, just leave..." Everybody stares at him shocked, he had just let them go like that. Germany walks away still carrying Italy and heads to a hospital. The streets are barren, everybody hiding in their homes. He walks into a hospital and everybody freezes. He walks up to the front desk.
"H-how may I help you?" The nurse said.
"Can you help my friend?" Germany said, everybody looks confused.
"Um, yes sir..." A nurse takes him. "What happened?" She asks.
"He was shot..." Germany replied. They take Italy away, it wasn't long before the news of Germany's surrender spread throughout the world. They were able to get the bullet out of Italy but he was still unconscious. Germany stays by Italy's side, France decides to visit.
"Bonjour Germany~" France said walking into the room.
"Hi..." Germany doesn't take his eyes off of Italy.
"So zat was what he was planning, zis man is smarter zan he looks~" He sat down next to Germany and looked at him. "He is going to be alright, you don't have to worry so much." France new why he was like this though, he was guilty.
"Ja..." France couldn't help but feel bad for him.
"So, where is zis Father Germany zat I was informed of?" France said, Germany finally took his eyes off of Italy and turned it to France. He chuckles, "Italy told me of course~ Why didn't you tell anyone before?" Germany looks away again.
"I don't know..." Germany said. He just can't believe what he had done.
"I zink you should read zis, he told me to have you read it if he dies but I zink you need zis right now too." France takes the note out of his pocket and hands it to Germany. "See you later~" He exits the room. Germany unfolds the note and begins to read it.
Dear Germany,
If you are reading this then either A. I am dead or B. France gave this to you anyway. I will just assume A. Anyway, I knew that you weren't being yourself, and I forgive you~ I knew that if this happened it would shock you back to your normal self, I'm sorry that it had to happen like this though. I died happy though because this means that you were able to be the old you again~ I missed the old you so much! Knowing that you are the old you though is good enough~ And also know that it wasn't your fault, it was Father Germany's fault so I don't blame you for anything. So be happy~
With All My Love, Feliciano Vargas.
Germany smiles at the note, he's very lucky to have a man like Italy.
"Ve?" Germany's eyes move over to the now awake Italy.
"Thank you for saving me Italy." Germany said, he hold his hand tightly. Italy smiles back at him.
"Ve, it was nothing~" Italy said smiling back at Germany.
"I am lucky to have you." Germany said leaning in and giving Italy a gentle kiss.
"I'm lucky to have you too Germany~" Italy replied smiling. "France let you see the note ve? You must have felt guilty then." Germany nodded.
"I was but I realize that it's ok because you're right, it's not my fault." Germany smiled at him.
They had put Germany on trial and Italy and France testified for Germany, both stating that it wasn't Germany's fault but Father Germany's. They had searched for him and it ended up with him hiding in Germany's basement. Life soon returned to normal and the gossip of the third world war had faded into nothing.
"Hey Germany, did you really mean it when you said that you don't like my pasta ve?" Italy asked out of the blue.
"Of course not, it did get old after eating it for so long but your food is good." Germany replied while reading a book.
"Ve, that's good~ You and I will be together forever ve, right Germany~?" Germany sets his book down and looks over at Italy.
"Together forever." Germany said smiling, Italy holds up his hand with his pinkey extended.
"Pinkey promise~?" Germany sighs and wraps his pinkey around Italy's.
"Pinkey promise." Italy and Germany stared into each others eye's smiling, Italy thought to himself.
'There's the eyes that I know and love ve~ And the old Germany I know and love too~! I'm so glad that everything is back to normal but I have a feeling that one day or another a new war will begin again~ But next time, I'll be ready and so will Germany and the rest of the world~! When the next war begins~"
