Prussia's pov
I felt very uncomfortable as I fidgeted with my fingers waiting for Romano to reply.
"What do you mean?...The truth to what?" Romano asked in an confused tone.
"About Italy! Just hear me out and don't interrupt!" I ordered
Romano nodded in agreement, I took a deep breath in and started to confess.
"First of all I was the one who phoned the police"
"YOU DID WHAT? YOU BASTARD" Romano butted in
"I told you not to interrupt." I sighed
"Urg...Fine continue" Romano huffed
"It all started a few days ago when Clara made contact with me. I had been out with France and when I was on my way home I bumped into her. She said that she could make my dearest wish come true and that is to be with Italy. I declined the offer because after everything that she has done I would never trust her. To be honest I was quite tempted but I had to refuse. She then said as I was leaving that this left her no choice and she would do everything the hard way from now on. I didn't think anything of it at the time, I thought she was bluffing. A day later I was out again and saw her. She handed me a tooth-brush and at first I was very confused but then she told me it was Italy's. I was terrified because that shows she can break into the house so easily without anyone noticing. She then began to tell me her plan, it was that she would start a fire and blame it on Italy. She said that she had sent a letter to Italy demanding money and this was so she could sneak some gas canisters into his car. I was so frightened for Italy so I begged her to stop her plan and she said she would if I would break Italy and Germany up. I agreed immediately and ran home. A little while later however I heard about the fire. I rushed over to help and saw Clara their with a small person in a hoodie. I was so angry and screamed at her but all she did was laugh and tell me that she didn't want it to come to this but she really needed Italy out the way. When I got home I was going to tell Italy everything but before I could pick up the courage it was already to late. West had found the gasoline canisters and there was on gong back now. I had to think fast I had to take another path and that's when I decided to play Clara's game and go along with her plan. Italy going to prison is the best thing, he will be safe there. Clara will definatly come after West and if Italy were here he would try and stop her and probably end up getting hurt. I will let West confront Clara and tell her that nothing will ever happen. She would never hurt West because she loves him so dearly. If that doesn't work then I will take matters into my own hands and get rid of her myself." I explained, after saying all that I took a big breath and awaited Romano's reply.
Romano started at me, his eyes wide with shock. He began opening his mouth to begin talking but then quickly closed it again and thought some more.
"I-I don't know where to start I have so many questions!" He said, still in shock.
"Well I'm not going anywhere, ask away!" I laughed
" First off YOU LOVE MY BROTHER ?! Second, What if Italy doesn't get sent down, they still have to question us and they might find him innocent! Third, If we do deal with Clara how will we get Italy out of jail? Fifth, Will you tell Italy the truth if he gets sent down? Finally, what do you mean get rid of her?" He interrogated
I pondered my answers for awhile. Half of his questions I haven't even thought of and now I realise why he was in so much shock.
"Well...I do love Italy and I would do anything to have him but I want him to be happy more than anything else. I know West makes him happy so I don't really want to tare them apart. Since I care about Italy so much I want to kill Clara for what she put him through and that's what I mean by getting rid of her. I also have thought about what if Italy doesn't get sent down and that's where I need you. You need to lie to the police and tell them things that hint to Italy committing the crime. I will be doing the same so hopefully he does get sent down. If we succeed in this then I will tell him everything so he doesn't worry the whole time. After that when we deal with Clare I have decided that I will tell the police I set fire to the barn so that Italy gets released. I don't mind going to prison if it is to save Italy and my mind will be at rest since Clara will be gone." I answered
When I finished answering Romano's questions I saw him begin to tear up. As our eyes met he smiled at me.
"Thank you" He croaked
"Fo-for What?!" I asked awkwardly
"For caring about my brother. I had always though you were a stupid German douche but your actually a good guy." Romano grinned
"Kessesss, Thanks...I think" I laughed
We smiled at each other awkwardly for a few seconds then the mood suddenly became dimmer when Romano spoke again.
"Well what are we supposed to do for now?"
"We will just have to wait it out until Clara makes her first move,then we can take action. I guess this whole thing is like a game of chess, We have to predict the other players move and try and defeat them before they can get any of our pawns." I smirked
Romano rolled his eyes at my crap chess reference and we then began to wait for Wests return. We had to get him to believe that Italy is not innocent. That will be tricky since he loves Italy so much...
