Italy smiled as he laid next to Germany. It felt like forever since he got to sleep with the German last. Bella had her own little spot at the end of the bed on the floor since Germany stated there were to be no dog's or cat's on the beds. It was one space they couldn't go. Even Prussia agreed with that but still let Berlitz sleep in his bed with him. Well... When he didn't have Canada over. Germany sighed as he couldn't fall asleep. Italy sat up on his elbows and looked over in the dark to the German man.

"Can't sleep?" he asked softly. Prussia was below them and Italy didn't want to wake him up.

"Nein. I am just thinking." Germany stated lowly. Italy nodded and slid his arm's under the pillow and hid his face in it for a second. He moved his head to the side and looked at Germany.

"Thinking about what?" he asked softly. Italy asked butting in. Germany turned and sighed looking to the Italian in the dark.

"Just about that dog you found. Its odd. You just found it yet it took on three dogs ten times its size to protect you. I don't understand what dogs think but... It's not normal." Germany said. Italy blinked and sat up again.

"You think something's wrong with her?" Italy asked. Germany sat up as well and looked at Italy.

"I don't think any thing is wrong with her. She just reminds me of a kid. One that would protect their mother no matter what." Germany stated. Italy smiled and bounced in the bed.

"Ve~ I have a baby! I love babies! There so cute!" Italy giggled. Germany smiled lightly and nodded.

"They are cute..." Germany stated. Italy nodded and hugged Germany around the waist shoving his head on to the German's chest.

"Ve~ Very cute! I agree! I want to have a little baby! Then you can make it really strong! And it will smile and make pasta just like me!" Italy giggled. Germany blushed at this and nodded lightly.

"Right... but why would I be helping you raise it?" Germany asked. Italy pulled back and gave a huge bright smile.

"Because Germany is Germany! Your to raise a baby with the one you love right! Italy loves Germany!" Italy stated. Germany looked at Italy. He wasn't to sure if Italy was that clueless of it he knew what he was talking about.

"Well there's other thing's you do with someone you love but there are different types of Love Italy." Germany stated. Italy thought for a second and nodded.

"Si I know!" Italy giggled. "You raise a baby with the one you want to be with forever right!" Italy stated more than asked. Germany nodded. He wasn't to sure what Italy was saying but it he was right then Italy was telling Germany he loved him and wanted to be with him.

"Italy... Does this mean you like me?" Germany asked not to sure. Italy fell quite for a second and then nodded fast.

"I love Germany! You protect me and never let any one hurt me! Your strong and you always come to save me when I need help! You never leave me behind when the other's do and last you..." Italy stopped his rant and looked down. His heart started to thump and tear's came to his eyes.

"I what?" Germany asked. Italy closed his eyes and shook his head. This was the wrong time to even tell Germany about Holy Rome. He wanted to tell him so much. How Germany act's. How he look's. How amazing he was. It was just how Holy Rome was. Italy loved Holy Rome but Holy Rome wasn't around any more to Love Italy. Italy nodded and smiled back up to Germany trying to hide the tear's. He had been though so much pain in his life. He lost Holy Rome. Fought to be a free nation. Lost his grandfather. Had his brother taken away from him. Left behind. Called weak. Marked as a wimp. Germany was the only one that wouldn't mark him. Germany was the only one that wouldn't leave Italy behind. Even when they fought in WWI. Germany didn't leave Italy back to die off slowly. He took him. Even if he was a prisoner.

"You never marked me as weak." Italy stated softly. Germany looked at Italy shocked and Italy felt a small push on his back. He feel forward and Germany caught him. Italy looked up with watery eyes and Germany gave a light smile to the Italian.

"You are weak... But I can help you if you would try." Germany stated with a smirk. Italy smiled and nodded.

"I can try... If I get pasta after." Italy added. Germany nodded.

"Alright." Germany stated. He leaned closer to Italy and Italy closed his eyes leaning up. They kissed lightly and Italy wrapped his arm's around Germany's neck. Germany put his arms around Italy's waist and pulled the Italian closer.

"Finally! You shut up!" Prussia yelled throwing open the door. "How am I to hear birdie under me if you two are yelling about your love life!" Prussia hissed. Germany pulled back and tossed a pillow at his brother.

"Get out!" he yelled. Prussia closed the door and the two could hear his laughing.

"SEX IS THE ANSWER!" he yelled. Germany growled and Italy started to rub Germany's shoulders.

"Relax Germany. Prussia knew that I liked you. He just wanted to make sure you weren't going to crush my feelings." Italy stated. Germany looked at him and sighed.

"I wouldn't have crushed your feelings. I may be me but I'm not an ass." Germany stated. Italy giggled and nodded. He hugged Germany and then looked to were the puppy should have been sleeping.

"Bella?" Italy asked. The puppy was gone and Italy looked every were for it. "Bella?" he asked again. Germany and him started a hunt for the puppy and after looking all over the house they gave up. Italy was upset that his little puppy went missing. His heart shattered at the thought of the puppy getting out and getting hurt.

"Italy... It will be ok. Dog's know their way home. She might come back." Germany said. Italy nodded and Germany kissed his forehead. "She'll be ok." Germany said. Italy nodded and wiped his eyes.

"Your right! She'll come back." Italy giggled. The two walked back to the bed room and Italy noticed a note on the pillow. He picked it up and looked it over. He gave a confused look and walked over to Germany. Germany looked at him and Italy gave him the note. "Do you think?" Italy asked.

"Thank you for taking care of me. Now take care of each other." Germany thought for a moment and blinked. "I knew it wasn't some normal dog! That thing was to smart!" Germany yelled. Italy giggled and hugged Germany.

"Maybe she was here to get us together!" Italy smiled. Germany sighed and Italy took the letter from him and dropped it on the ground. "You heard the doggy. You need to take care of me now." Italy smile. Germany raised an eye brow and turned off the light.

"I think you know more than you let on." Germany stated. Italy only giggled at this and pulled Germany to the bed.

"You think so?" he asked. Germany smiled and pushed Italy down on the bed and climbing over him.

"I know so." he stated pulling the Italian into a deep kiss. They both knew what they wanted. They just needed a little push.

The end.
