Hihi all~~~~ This chapter is Pasta, request submitted by Lollipop-Otakuu +claps+ Anyway, I knew that this is supposed to be about Germany and Japan, but this chapter is about Italy's relationship with Germany and Japan and his point of view within it all. Meaning to say, there is no actual appearance by our two main characters in this story..

Stiil, I hope you like it~


Italy hummed while he waited for the water to boil. He was going to cook pasta for his friends~ They both seemed to be very hesitant about their relationship, so he wanted to help them out~

..Even though he was disappointed that Germany did not choose him, after the Valentines incident where he basically said no, what could he expect? He missed a great chance.. But he did not want to stop waiting for the person who would fulfill the promise. Call him a romantic but..

But now he was going to help his friends, with the help of Pasta~ While the water boiled he thought back at the relationship on the Axis. Him and Germany came first, the Japan became a part of their family. At first it was odd, having Japan around. A stoic and serious person that was very unlike himself. He could honestly say that he was very confused at the other's behavior, but Japan was not mean to him or pick on him, so he was fine with him.

The water was boiled and he added the pasta and started with the sauce.

Of course when Japan told him that he did appreciate his arts, Italy was very happy. It was basically there and then that he decided that Japan would be a very good friend. From there it grew to turn Japan from someone who was his friend, to someone whom he knew he could trust.

Very different from his and Germany's relationship. Both of them were very lonely people and he wanted to be friends because of that. In his case, it was because he was simply to week and needy to find people that did not scorn or laugh at him, or find him worthless and tiresome. In Germany's case it was because he did not know how to make friends. Loneliness was not something he liked. And he knew it would have been the same for Germany. From there they became friends fast.

Oddly enough, Japan never seemed to get in between their friendship, preferring to stand at the side, or even out of the picture completely. Because of that, he did not realise that the two seemed to be closer until a good deal later. And then, he had thought that they would leave him behind. He scratched his head sheepishly at the though, remembering his nightmare and the letter that he wrote because he was so fearful of that event occurring.

Turn off the fire, and drain the pasta and put it on nice plates~

Of course, later on Germany did come to him to say that he was not forgotten and Japan made some special red bean sweets to help pull the cover over any blowing winds of doubt and nervousness. Of course, it did not help Italy's suspicions of Japan because he did make dinner for everyone... But later on, when he he managed to tell this to Germany, the other just told him that Japan was the one who found the note when he was cleaning his house. Should Japan have really wished to make Italy go away, all he needed to do was burn it or hide it, since he would have known that Italy would soon distance himself from the rest of them, effectively reaching the goal. From there, Italy's trust of Japan grew.

... But when that he thought about it after the whole fiasco.. Japan found the note when cleaning Germany's house... and then he cooked dinner at Germany's house... It seemed that Japan was already half living in Germany's house since then! That also made Italy curious to how close the two were. That was when he started to watch them more intently and from there, found out that they may have liked each other. Despite all his attempts, they were both just so hesitant to move to a relationship.

The sauce was done and now pour the sauce on the pasta and add cheese..

In the end, he seemed to almost give up, when they managed to suddenly get hooked together during Christmas when he left them alone. [A very good plan, or so he told himself. Plan a party for the three of them at Japan's , then leave halfway~ Germany will not be able to leave since he would have no good reason and if he did leave the Japan would be left alone on Christmas and he knew that Germany would not do that] Now here they are. n a relationship.. going once again at a snail's pace of improving. They loved each other, that he knew, but sometimes the sheer difference of each other's cultures and expectations was almost heartbreaking.

But Italy was going to try and help. Just like they had helped him fight away his loneliness and fears, he would help them fight theirs.

Finish the garnish and done~

Food was a good way to ensure that situations stays more or less nice and steady. And the situation was going to need to be nice and steady if he wanted to help them.
