HAPPY VALENTINES DAY~! x3

XxxxxxX

Akane slowly opened her eyes to the blinding sun that peeked in the curtains. She turned to spy a note that was from Italy.

She picked it up and raised an eyebrow reading it carefully. It simply stated how he had been picked up by Romano so he could go to school on Monday.

"Wait...When was this?" She scanned the date to reveal it was on February 12th.

"Huh?" She picked up her ipod to find it was the 13th, mid-afternoon. She had slept for about a full day.

"EH! No way! No wonder I feel so weird!" She sighed and pulled the covers off of her, shuffling to the door and grabbing a jacket. She knew it was cold in the house because Miyoko always turned off the heat at night to save energy.

She made her way downstairs and into the kitchen to sit at the bar and have a snack. She grabbed some strawberries and relaxed.

As she began to nibble on them, she started to think deeply. 'Italy...He basically stayed the night the night with me...T-That's really really sweet...It's like he was watching over me or something..NO! I-I doubt it! He was just being a good friend, y-yea!'

She sighed once more and looked at the date and time on her Ipod again. "Hmm...Feburary 13th...Eh! Tomorrow's Valentine's day! S-Should I make something for Italy? EH! What am I thinking!" She shook her head and blushed.

"I-I think I should..I mean he did stay by my side...It will be like a f-friend thing!" She put up the Strawberries and grabbed some ingredients for a chocolate cake. "Now all I need is Icing!"

She dug in Miyoko's 'Secret Baking Stash' (it was 'Secret' because Miyoko felt it was to girly) and found some icing.

"Perfect~" She hummed, clapping her hands together at all the ingredients laid out in front of her with a smile.

"Hmm..Miyoko must have left a recipe in the stash.." She said digging some more.

"Yep! Here we go!" She tied on a pink apron and turned on the oven after she began to mix the ingredients together.

"Hauu~ This Heart-Shaped cake...thing.. Should work perfectly~" She said as she poured the cake mix inside of it and sat it in the oven.

"Now, I just need to wait. It should be done soon!" She sat down on the couch and took a deep breathe.

"Onee~ Are you u- Gah!" Miyoko stepped back in complete surprise seeing Akane on the couch looking up at her.

"Onee! Don't scare me like that you idiot!" Miyoko growled stomping her foot. "Wait..You are covered in cake mix..What are you making..?"

Akane raised with a warm smile. "A cake for tomorrow because, ya know, it's Valentine's Day."

Miyoko groaned and closed the door plopping on the couch next to Akane. "Ugh.. That dreadful day..Where supposedly every girl gets a lover and chocolates from that so called 'lover'. To me it's nothing but a bunch of bullshit. I don't expect anything from anyone!"

"Mi-chan, What about Romano? You two are together right? You should get him some chocolates~ or something, Like im making something for Italy!" Akane smiled once again.

A huge smirk spread across Miyoko's face as she converted her eyes to Akane. "Oh~ I see~ You must be in love with him~! Well, I guess I have to agree with you there, what better day to confess than on the day of love~!"

"Eh! Where did you get that idea! N-None of it's true! I-Im not in love with him, No way, He was just so kind to me I have to repay him somehow! G-Geez..Mi-chan.." Akane blushed a deep red turning away from her smirking sister.

"Alright~ If you say so~!" Miyoko giggled and stood up. Before heading to her room, she looked back at Akane with a loving smile. 'My Onee has finally found someone it seems~'

The oven went off in a high-pitched beep causing Akane to run over and carefully take out the almost finished Heart cake.

Akane quickly covered the cake in a red icing before using the pink to write the simple words, 'I love you' on them like a regular valentine's cake. Though, it was way harder then it seemed. She was giving this to, what she told her sister, a friend.

It was a lie. Akane had felt so light-hearted and happy when Italy smiled at her and talked to her. She couldn't even struggle to lie to herself anymore. She was in love with him.

She stared at the cake with a blush the color of the writing as her hands started to tremble. All of the possibilities raced through her mind of what he might think, say or do.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and finished the writing. She then packaged it up and tied a ribbon on the package.

She sighed once more and placed it in the fridge. She took off her apron and slowly headed for her room in deep thought.

"Oh! Onee! I won't be going to school tomorrow! To mushy and stuff but I might be gone when you get home alright?" Miyoko yelled from her room as Akane only nodded.

Miyoko closed her door with a small loving smile. She slid down it and looked at the tiny note in her hand. It read:

'Hey Miyoko...I was wondering if maybe me and you can take a break tomorrow. I would like to spend it with you if that's not to much to ask for...Maybe we can go somewhere that isn't filled with bastards and sluts making out. I'm not into the mushy shit at all but it isn't so shitty and fucked up when you're there with me..If that makes any sense. If you are willing to meet me, Let's meet at the market downtown. If you don't show up..Well, Ima feel like a shithead, but whatever. See ya there hopefully.

-Romano

Miyoko giggled softly to herself hugging the note close to her chest.

Akane laid on her bed for about 4 hours until she heard Miyoko turn off the heat and head to bed. She had been thinking about everything that was going on and why it was. Why was she in love with him? Was he in love with her back?

She rolled over on her side and closed her eyes, prepared for sleep to hit her any minute. Tomorrow will be a Hell or Heaven situation and she wasn't ready for it.

The next morning Akane got ready for school and grabbed the cake, placing it delicately in her bag so it wouldn't get crushed. She opened the front door with a positive attitude and headed out.

Finally she arrived at the Hell Hole or school. She looked around at all the guys hugging the girls and the girls blushing and jumping up and down to their friends.

She inhaled deeply and felt the nervousness build up inside of her as she took steps closer to the school and to her friends.

Her friends were where they normally were. In a group talking happily by the corner of the building.

"O-Ohayo Gozimasu~!" She greeted now shaking with nervousness. Germany oddly smiled as she walked up. Italy smiled wide at her and Japan gave her a kind smile as well.

"Ve~ Any Valentine's? I'm sure a beautiful girl like you has already gotten some!" Italy laughed walking up to stand by her.

She blushed and shook her head. "N-No. But I'm sure you have!" She tried her best to smile at him without blushing to where it was noticeable.

Italy smiled at her and scratched the back of his head. "Well...i have gotten some~."

Akane felt her heart sink. Girls were already after him today. What if he...denied her..? She wanted to break into tears there but she shook the thoughts away.

The bell finally rang and she waved goodbye to her friends only to bump into Germany once again.

"O-Ow..Uh! Sorry, Germany-san!" She said standing up a bit worried.

He blinked and blushed a little, turning his head to the side as he held out a red rose tied with a white ribbon.

She looked at it for a minute and then back at him.

"Please take ze rose...I think you are..c-c-c-cute..." He whispered the last word before turning away and quickly getting lost in the crowd.

Akane was surprised to be holding a rose from Germany in her hand. "What..?"

Germany mentally slapped himself as he walked into his classroom. 'I am not used to this kind of stuff, dammit! What ze hell was I thinking!...But she's just so cute and clumsy that.. I want to protect her! Urrgh..'

Akane sat in her seat and blinked looking at the beautiful cherry red rose. Why would Germany out of all people tell her that? He seemed to always be in the background. Was he secretly liking her?

All Akane knew was she wouldn't see anyone of them till lunch time, well except her new friends China and Taiwan and of course her brother. She sighed and put the rose away with a small blush. Italy was really all she could think about.

"Akane? Aiyah! AKANE, ARU!" China yelled waking up Akane from her nap. Akane burst up in her chair with wide eyes, leaving China to only chuckle at her.

"It's time for lunch, You better get up, aru." He watched her pick up her stuff and walked out the door with her.

"Got any valentine's?" He asked cocking his head.

"Yea...I got one from Germany..." She looked down with complete wonder and a bit of sadness because Italy hasn't given her anything. "You?"

China pulled out a baby panda doll. "Yea, Some girl who's related to Egypt or something gave this to me today with a box of chocolates, although she's pretty cute herself." He chuckled putting his gift away.

They finally made it into the cafeteria to find Italy waving at Akane and running up to her.

"Ciao, Osakie! Let's go eat together outside today! You me and Japan alright?" Before she could even answer he took her hand and ran towards the door, making her blush intensely.

China blinked and watched them go. "Weird...Oh well, aru!" He said getting in the lunch line.

Germany turned his head to see Italy take her hand and suddenly felt a bit enraged. He almost glared at Italy as they ran out the door although he knew there was no stopping whatever was going to happen at the moment.

They finally made it outside to a cute little picnic set up under a blossom tree.

"Ve~ I thought it would be nice if me, you and Japan ate out here today. I asked Germany but he said he wanted to eat inside...Oh well I guess."

Japan came up with a pleasant smile. "Happy Valentine's Day, Osaka-san." He said handing her a lollipop. "You are my sister so I thought that would make you happy."

Akane smiled at him and hugged him. "Thank you, Nii-san~!" Japan completely froze and began to squirm, letting her know to let go of him.

She giggled and let Italy present his 'Valentine's Day Fest'.

"Ve~ Enjoy, Please! I cooked it nice for you guys~" He smiled at them and then began to eat, even though it was mostly pasta, Akane giggled and dug in. Maybe this Valentine's Day wasn't so bad.

After the lunch bell rung, Akane walked up to Italy playing with her fingers. "I-Italy-kun...Can I Talk to you?"

Italy turned around and smiled. "Of course you can~ What is it?"

Akane's heart began to race as she looked up at him. Her face was now a deep blush and her hands began to tremble again.

"Huh? Osakie? Are you alright?" He asked becoming worried.

She then pulled the cake out of her bag and handed it out to him. She made sure her face was facing the ground and she felt as if she was going to cry.

Italy's face then changed the same color as hers did. "O-Osakie..." He blushed he then took the cake from her shaking hands and replaced it with a box of chocolates and roses.

Her eyes only widened and she then looked up at him. "W-Wait..."

Italy gave her a small smile, his blush not fading. "I was going to talk to you after school...but all I need to say to you is.."

She felt the crazy emotions speed through her head as he stepped up to her.

"Grazie~" He leaned in and kissed her. Afterward he pulled her into a tight hug because he didn't expect the same out of her. Why? Because she was completely paralyzed at this moment. A moment she thought would never happen.

Germany watched in the background, completely stunned now. He clenched his fist and turned away. Italy, his bestfriend, was in love with someone he was in love with. What the hell was he gonna do...

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
