It was saturday and Romano was cooking breakfast for everyone currently in his home. The cheerful spain who was helping him cook. The quiet Japanese who sat awkwardly in the living room with the stiff German and his egoistic brother prussia. Why were they all gathered today? Romano had asked them for help to clean out Feliciano's room. He had not seen the room at all in the past 40 years and was abit frightened. The very room in which his younger brother took his life because of his careless words.
After they finished breakfast they followed Romano upstairs where he unlocked the door and opened it painfully slow, afraid he may see his dead brother in there. He turned the lights on and looked around before entering. Despite noone being inside for years he found the room to be a huge mess considering his brother truly was a slob. The rest walked in to be amazed with the huge mess. Spain lifted up a dirty plate from the floor before making the first statement since walking in. "Wow Roma, and here I thought you were the messy one." "Ive cleaned up my act bastard!" Retorded the italian. "Well we better get started if we want to finish everything in one day. Let's begin, no fooling around." Germany said as the rest did a solute and a "yes, sir." Romano felt strange being inside the room after so many years, but he didn't feel depressed andhe was glad he had people to help him out. Spain and Japan placed the things from Feliciano's shelf into boxes as the germans carried off the bed down into the basement. Romano carefully took all the paintings and placed them into the corner before putting his clothes into boxes. They all worked to clean up the room, placing the boxes of clothes and blankets into the closet and dusting the desk and shelf while Spain picked up the trash and threw it out. By the time they finished cleaning it was late and they were all hungry. They looked at the room which now only had a desk in the corner and a shelf on the opposite wall with afew books and a vase and afew of his brother's paintings on the wall. "Just afew more things and we are done," Prussia said with a smirk. Romano watched Germany bring in a box before placing it on the floor and the rest started to pull out items. Japan went to place a small picture frame of Italy with Romano together on the desk. Though they were beaten up with messy hair and covered in dirt, they smiled at the camera, arms wrapped around each other as Italy gave a peace sign. Germany and Prussia placed Italy's medals and ribbons onto frames and onto the wall and spain carefully placed a bouquet of white lilies into the vase. Romano began to tear up as he watched them. While the others were occupied Japan walked up to him. "Romano-san, I thought you might want this. Its Italy's diary, dont worry I didn't read it." He held up the book for Romano to take before being pulled into a hug by a now crying italian. Japan awkwardly hugged back before Spain and Prussia joined in as well. After they all pulled away Romano wiped his tears and smiled at the group. "Grazie bastards, you don't know how much this means to me." After a few more seconds of comfort they left the room and headed for the living room. "Man im hungry, lets just order a pizza." The Prussia said as he threw himself onto the couch. "Pizza sounds good, lets all pitch in for afew boxes," the spaniard agreed. They all placed money onto the table and voted spain and Prussia to pick it up. The usually quiet Japan was the first to speak up after the two had left. "You seem to be feeling alot better Romano-san, im glad to see you back to your usual self." "Ja, I admit we were all abit worried when you wouldn't leave the house." Romano stared at the two as if they had just slapped him. They were actually concerned about him? "Ill admit I didn't want to see you the day of the meeting but you had looked so pale and thin I became a bit worried. You looked like you hadnt slept in days so I had to take you outside for once. Im sure Italy would have wanted me to." The German said, once again shocking the italian. Had he really looked so malnourished? He admitted he hadnt been out in so long and his apetite had decreased, there was also the lack of sleep he had due to nightmares but he didnt think he looked any different. He indeed didnt notice himself lose any weight. He had been too distracted in his lack of motivation to go out to socialize that he never noticed how badly he had been treating himself the past 30 years. "Italia-san must be very happy to see you doing so well." Japan gave a reassuring smile as he smiled back. "I also noticed you smile alot more, and you're less violent and easy to anger, you havent been beating me up lately." Romano looked at the German before answering honestly. " I took Italy away from you because I was jealous and thought he would be punished for being gay and then i slept with your brother when I wanted some attention, proving im a hypocritical asshole." Romano stayed straight faced as the others began to realize what he had said, their eyes widened and began to flush red while waiting for the italian to say he was joking. But it never came. Germany was shocked, he had heard his brother mention it during the fight with spain, but he didn't think it actually happened. "Vhat ze hell? You actually slept with him?" Germany finally spoke up and Romano only nodded with a straight face. Japan turned a deep red as he couldn't help but imagine the two in their actions. Before either can say something else spain and Prussia walked in, spain holding the pizzas and Prussia holding a box of beer. They all ate and chatted while beginning to get drunk. "You guys can spend the night if you want, I only have one spare room and a couch so two of you will have to share a bed and another can sleep with me." Romano announced. The prussian wrapped an arm around Romano, clearly drunk, "I call sleeping with Romano, just like old times right?" He winked at the italian as Japan began to blush and Spain glared daggers at him. "Bruder and me can share a bed, and Romano can choose either Japan or Spain to sleep with." Germany pulled Prussia off of the italian as the prussian began to whine. " I'll take the couch, Japan. You go ahead and sleep with Lovi."spain said smiling at the small man. "Ah arigato, spain-san" he replied as Romano began to take out blankets for spain and the germans. Japan slipped into the bed awkwardly along with Romano who had his back to him and already fast asleep. He layed down facing the opposite way and fell asleep.
