Attempt 9
It was late at night and Germany couldn't sleep. Germany was finally, finally, drifting off when he heard a loud scream and his bedroom door flew open. Italy ran into the room and jumped in the German's bed. The only thing Germany could think at that moment was: thank God he's wearing pyjamas this time...
After a moment he asked "Italia, what the hell are you doing in my bed?"
"I had a horrible nightmare!" Italy replied trembling.
"What happened?"
"A monster came and ate all the pasta, then he tried to eat me and you weren't there to save me!" the Italian cried.
Italia...
Germany sighed. "Don't worry-" he blushed madly as he continued his sentence- "I'll always be there to protect you."
"Doitsu?"
"I lo-"
The door flew open and Japan ran in. "I heard screaming so I-" he stopped as he saw Italy laying in Germany's bed and Germany was blushing madly.
"Oh..." Japan said a bit embarrassed. "I see you're both okay then." Japan bowed awkwardly and left the room.
As soon as Japan left Germany blurted out "Italia, I love you."
...
However, Italy was sleeping. Germany sighed with disappointment and softly kissed the sleeping man's forehead.
You still need to say it for him to hear it.
