It's mainly Spamano, but some Gerita, (mabbe Fruk), appear.
Some deaths, but, well, no horror!
Human names used :3
Pardon me if I make some grammar mistakes...English isn't really my first language!
I DO NOT OWN HETALIA
—…this shouldn't have happened.
He should have stopped him no matter what—
...Romano was unconscious—dead—in his arm, covered with red, thick blood—
-NO!
…he should have stopped him he told him that he was switching sides.
Switching sides was dangerous thing to do during any kind of war.
…and Antonio didn't even bother to stop him.
"I'm so sorry, Romano."
….
"—nio! Wake up!" shaking and shouting forced his eyes to open.
"…ouch….the light hurts…." He groaned as he shuffled on the couch, pulling blankets closer to him.
"Gee, what kind of siesta makes you whine like that?" Lovi groaned, but all Antonio did was observe Lovino's cute, bright face.
His eyebrows were knitted together and his long eyelashes fluttered every time he blinked. Brown eyes were shaking with nervousness and anxiousness.
—wait, nervous?
"…what do you mean?" Antonio asked as he sat up.
Lovi sighed as he bent down and put his hand on Antonio's forehead so gently you wouldn't believe that this man in front of him was Lovino.
—…wow, was Lovi worrying about him?
"…okay, you're not sick and yet, you're not making any sense," he wondered as he stood up straight again.
Antonio still didn't understand what he meant. He just stared at him, waiting for an answer.
"You were crying 'I'm sorry' and shuffling soooo much. I could hear it from upstairs!" he growled—probably grumpy from missing his siesta.
I'm sorry…? What did he even dream about…?
"Anyway, it's kind of cold now… are you still using that blanket?"
…then, he noticed that Lovino was shaking.
"Are you okay?" he frowned as he got up. He put his arms around Lovino as he wrapped a blanket around him tightly.
He shrugged, not even complaining once. Weird. "I guess I'm still cold from that walk…"
–No way. They got Lovi's house 20 minutes ago Then they both got tired so they decided to take siesta….
…and he said he was cold in the museum, too… he remembered.
"—um–Lovi…" DING DONG
…who could that be?
DING DONG
"Si, si, I'm coming," Antonio answered as he ran out to get the door.
Who could that actually be? Usually Antonio would expect Francis or Gilbert, but he knew that they were both in Germany dealing with, uh, Feli's little problem there. And plus, this wasn't even his house.
He unlocked the door and the door itself just flung open.
"Wo—wha-?"
"Surprise!" A girl's voice shouted, followed by other girl's high-pitched giggle.
..wait. he've heard of these voices before…
There was her. The tall, beautiful brunette with small orange flower in her hair. She was wearing brown winter jacket which matched the other girl's black jacket. Seemed like it was fashion thing—matching clothes with your dear friends.
The other Asian girl also had a flower in her hair, but pink. They were both smiling at him, holding up six shopping bags (or more).
—ah, these girls he knew very well.
"Hungary and Taiwan!" he cheerfully welcomed them, just to get hit by Hungary with a frying pan right in the face.
"You're going to explain to humans if they hear us? Stupid Spaniard…call us Elizabeta and Xiaomei," Hun—ah, Lizzi scolded. Someone was grumpy today.
"Ah, Lizzi, you didn't have to hit him in the face for that!" Mei skimmed over Antonio's face, frowning slightly. "Hitting people in the face could seriously demage their brain cells, you know. I explained it when you smacked Gilbert last time—"
Elizabeta snorted, "as if he had brain cells to lose in the first place."
"Tai—I mean, Mei—!" Antonio smiled as he hugged the cute Asian girl, making her squeak with surprise. He would have hugged Lizzi, too, and usually he does, but she seemed just too grumpy today.
Lizzi just rolled her eyes. Probably thinking, oh, those Gilbert's friends….
"Seems like I haven't seen you in forever!" he said as he let go of her.
Mei just laughed. "You saw me in the last World Conference, Antonio."
Antonio knew Mei pretty well, because he was one of those people who 'found' Mei. It was true his relative Portugal landed on Taiwan first, but he never tried to make Taiwan into his colony.
So naturally, Antonio took that as an okay sign from Portugal to take Taiwan.
—except Netherlands kind of got in the way…
He didn't stay long with Taiwan but Antonio got to know Mei a lot in a short time. (She was so cute and little back then!)
…he also learned that Mei could be as scary and grumpy and wild as Lizzi in hard way..
"So, curious to know why we're here?" Lizzi smiled. Her mood changed so quickly today.
Antonio smiled. Of course he was! He really didn't get to hang around with them much. "Yeah! I thought you guys were busy with—"
Lizzi's fury in her eyes made Antonio to shut up.
Okay, he didn't sense mood well, but even he could sense the danger coming out from Hungary right now.
"Don't even mention that fucking paper work…!" she grumpily growled, half holding her frying pan up. Ah, so that was why she was so pissed off today—extra paper works all nations love and adore.
"We came to see Romano, and—" Taiwan was cute off by a French Antonio knew for a long time. …was he here all this time? Antonio didn't even realize.
"Ah, mon ami, please…where can I lie him down?" he pointed at a young boy, who looked asleep, on Francis' back.
—Feliciano Vargas?
"—and then he fainted. When we were trying our best to wake Feli up, Mei and Lizzi came to rescue the day." Francis summarized what happened.
They were now in a huge living room where at least 20 people could fit. There weren't enough couches so ladies sat on couches while the Trio and Germany uncomfortably sat on the ground.
"You guys studied medicine?" Antonio asked.
Lizzi shrugged and Mei just smiled. "I learned some traditional Chinese medicine from Teacher after you left…"
"—so Mei just poked Feliciano in some spots and he just woke up! And then he fell asleep." Francis smiled. "So, that's our story…did something…ah, interesting happen to you?"
Francis' smile wasn't a smile at all—it was more like a smirk.
Antonio just laughed, not getting what Francis was actually asking. "Haha, being with Lovi is always fun and interesting!" Then silence followed.
"…?" Everyone sensed that something was wrong. Usually, when Antonio started to talk about Romano (or Lovino in this case) he never shut up.
But he did now.
"Something wrong, Antonio?" Lizzi asked quietly.
"…It's just…that something is weird with Lovi… I don't know how to really describe it… but he just gets…cold easily and doesn't warm as fast as other people."
Everyone frowned. If it was Antonio, the slowest person in the world, noticed it, it was something to worry about.
"I could check on him when he comes down," Mein glanced at the ceiling.
They—the Vargas brothers—were both in their rooms, taking siesta. Lvonio freaked out when eh saw his brother carried by Francis, but then when Antonio and Elizabeta calmed him down and convinced him that Feli was just purely sleeping and that nothing was done to him, he huffed and went upstairs, carrying Feliciano rather with difficulty.
Antonio thought about her offer…check? "What do you mean by…check?"
Mei just laughed, "Heartbeats. By listening heartbeats. Old-fashion way."
"…he might be having a problem because of his death in previous life…well, those brothers, well, didn't die in, hm, a comfortable way…" Lizzi brought up the hard subject nervously.
Awkward silence. They all just nervously glanced at each other until a voice said—
"Romano's problem is all good. Nothing serious."
They all jumped, dead surprised and scared because they thought it was Lovi.
But it was Feliciano who spoke. He sleepily came down the stairs and sat beside Ludwig. He yawned (very cutely in Antonio's opinion) and rubbed his eyes.
Antonio frowned. "…? What do you—" his question was cut off by Gilbert's I'm-first-because-I'm-Prussian question.
"I've been wondering this—…but why doesn't Lovino have past memories like you? I mean, if he remembers everything, then, well, everything will be easier…"
Long silence, but not awkward. Everyone starred at Feliciano, expecting an answer. Feli frowned—probably thinking if he should spill the secret or not.
He slowly opened his mouth, "because…"
"Because?" Francis repeated impatiently. So Gil and Antonio weren't the only ones who were curious about this.
"…—Because I committed suicide."
"…?"
…That...really didn't answer anything.
Thankfully, Feli continued. "Because I committed suicide," he explained with a shaky voice. He shifted so he was sitting a little closer to Germany. "My memory didn't vanish as…well, a punishment, you could say….at least that's what I think…"
"What do you mean?" Lizzi asked, suddenly leaning forward.
"I…well, it was so…hard to live with the memory," tears started to come down from his eyes, making everyone in the room nervous—especially Ludwig.
"Feli—" Ludwig opened his mouth but Feli immediately shushed him gently and started to explain again.
"When my parents preferred me over my brother, it hurt so much… I wanted to scream at my parents and tell my brother that he was…loved by a lot of people in his past life—and even now too! But I just…couldn't—"
Ludwig's gentle hug cute him off. Everyone just stared at Feli with stern silence.
This little teenager boy suffered so much emotionally by worries and hurtful comments. And that wasn't probably it. He probably missed so many people, and he probably had urge to tell his older brother everything but he knew that he just couldn't do that out of blue.
Everyone had tears in their eyes—if they weren't actually crying.
Antonio was sad. Depressed. Angry. But his eyes were full of questions instead of sadness.
"So, Feli…why is Lovi's problem not serious?"
Feli flinched and looked away, refusing to meet Antonio's eyes.
"Feli!" Antonio urged. He lost Lovino once before and he couldn't bear to lose him again…!
He really wasn't sure if his heart and body could take it.
"It's…not serious…now." Feli murmured quietly, still looking away from Antonio. "Let's just say…it's a side-effect."
"Of what?"
That, Feli did not answer no matter what.
"Finally leaving, you bastard." Lovino growled.
Antonio just smiled and Lizzi and Mei both hugged him, making him blush.
Francis, Gilbert and Ludwig left long ago because of their paper works (Gilbert didn't want to go and he kept saying that he shouldn't even doing it since he was an ex-nation, but Ludwig just dragged him).
"I'll come back tomorrow, 'kay?" Antonio happily smiled, receiving two different answers from two brothers.
Antonio hugged Lizzi (she was feeling much better now) and Mei quickly and waved good bye at Lovi and of course, Lovino just frowned and didn't wave back.
Mei and Lizzi's smile faded away as soon as Antonio was out of sight.
"Lovino!" Both girls screamed as Lizzi grabbed Lovi from behind and Mei grabbed Lovi's hand and put her two fingers and his wrist.
Which freaked both former Italies out.
"What the fuck?"
"—Hun, ah, Lizzi?"
"SHUT UP!" Mei shouted while Lizzi shushed them calmly.
They both whimpered but didn't object.
After few seconds, Mei sighed. "Okay…your heart is fine…."
What—? Lovino backed away as soon as his hand was free.
"Sorry, we had to check. Couldn't stand watching Antonio worrying about you like a dying duck." Lizzi apologized, smiling sadly.
Lizzi hugged Feli and Lovi lightly and dragged Mei hurriedly. "Bye bye, Feli and Lovi—!"
"Lizzi? You're going too fast…!" Mei complained as soon as Lovino's hosue was out of sight.
That was when Elizabeta suddenly stopped, causing Mei to bump into her back.
"So?" Lizzi asked, turning around so quickly it made mei wonder how she maintained her balance perfectly.
"So…what?"
Elizabeta rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me, Xiaomei. Don't you think I can't smell that fear coming from you."
—Wow. It was like one of those horror movies—people with sharp instinct sensing death.
—…well, Austria did mention that she was a nomad long time ago. (According to China, Mei was a nomad, too, but she could barely remember because she was so young)
"Mei—?" Mei blinked as Lizzi waved her hand in front of her.
…she really didn't want to tell this to anyone.
But…
Hungary. This was her friend.
..She could trust her, right?
"Okay. So…" she gulped nervously.
Long silence. Lizzi didn't say anything, thank God. Mei was busy trying to figure how she should word this.
"…Roma, Lovino's heart. It was…like…uh…as if…it stopped long time ago."
"…—?"
Lizzi wasn't getting it. It wasn't a surprise, because to be honest, Mei didn't get what she was saying either.
"It's like if…something—something unnatural—is keeping a dead heart beat."
