Germany's pov
As I laboriously cleaned the dishes in the kitchen my mind wandered to Prussia. It had been a few days since he had stormed off to his room. He has only come out for food and beer but apart from that he hasn't left. I hope he hasn't been up their messaging that girl. No good can come from them becoming close. I thought since Clara is dead that we can all move on with our lives. With Grace bringing up all the memories of Clara there is no way that we can escape. Bringing her up again is impacting us all, especially Italy. He hasn't seem himself for days and if I mention Prussia to him he goes quiet and solemn. Someone needs to put Prussia straight, for everyone's sake.
"Germany!" Italy's voice called from behind me.
I hadn't heard him approach so I nearly jumped out of my skin when he spoke! Italy began to laugh as he realised that he had given me a fright.
"Sorry Germany!" He giggled
"What do you want?" I sighed, continuing with my dishes
"Do you know what day it is?" Italy chirped
"It's Friday! why?" I asked
"Germany?!" Italy exclaimed
I stopped what I was doing to turn to Italy. He was staring at me intently with his arms crossed.
"What's wrong" I asked, confused.
"Today is February the fourteenth! How could you forget it's Valentines day?!" Italy said in exasperation!
A sudden shock of realisation ran through me, how could I have forgotten about Valentines day?! With the whole Prussia situation going on it had completely slipped my mind.
"Oh Italy, I'm so sorry! With worrying about Prussia and everything I had just forgot!" I apologised
Italy giggled then looked up at me and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I get to spend the day with you then I'm fine." Italy beamed, stretching up and placing a kiss on my lips.
As we broke the kiss off Italy looked deep into my eyes and draped his hands over my shoulders.
"You need to stop worrying about Prussia. He will soon realise that it's not good having a relative to Clara's near us. He needs to remember what we all fought so hard for!" Italy comforted me.
"You're right, you really are great. I love you Italy!" I blushed
"I love you Germany!" Italy gently whispered, placing another kiss on my lips.
*Cough, cough*
Italy and I both quickly broke off the kiss and turned to see Prussia in the doorway of the kitchen. He was just wearing a towel around his waist and his hair was soaking wet.
"I know what we fought for and we did win! Grace isn't evil like Clara, I can tell." Prussia declared in a husky tone.
"I'm not saying she is evil, but it's hard knowing someone related to Clara who we feared!" Italy defended
"She's not like Clara at all! Grace is a great and genuine girl! If you just got to know her like I do then you would see!" Prussia declared
"We do believe you Prussia, it's just that we are worried about you!" Italy sympathized
"Well don't because I know what I'm doing! Anyways I'm meeting with her tonight so I won't be back for a while ,just thought I should let you know!" Prussia announced, beginning to exit the kitchen.
"You are not!" I called
Prussia re-appeared at the kitchen door, his face full with anger.
"You know what West you just think that since you have a relationship that you know best, you're wrong. Italy is one of the most easiest people to get along with, if you were dating anyone else your relationship wouldn't be as perfect! Also I'm your older brother, you have no right to tell me what I can and cannot do! You are not always right so get off your high horse!" Prussia hissed before storming off.
When Prussia was out of view I turned to Italy and sighed.
"He's right." I admitted
"You just want what's best for him! You really love your brother and don't want to see him hurt!" Italy pointed out
"Yeah, but he is an adult. He needs to make his own mistakes and learn from them." I acknowledged
"You're right! Anyways, have you thought on what we are going to do for Valentines day?" Italy hinted
"Ummm..." I trailed off awkwardly
Prussia's pov
I angrily stomped upstairs, walking into my bedroom and slamming the door. I know I am being ridiculous, acting like a stroppy teenager but I can't help it. I have stressed myself with meeting Grace and it's also Valentines day. Should I bring her flowers? or is this date just casual? So many questions rushed through my head all at once and I have no idea what to do! Where's one of West's dating books when you need them!
I rummaged through my wardrobe, desperately looking for something that would be appropriate to wear. If I'm getting flowers for her then I will have to be quick! I suddenly found my old suit which I only wear on special occasions. It's a bit creased but hopefully she doesn't mind. I quickly pulled on my suit and began to sort my hair. After I was all ready I sprinted downstairs so I could at least sort things out with my brother before I left. To my surprise he was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for me.
"Prussia I'm sorry for the way I acted" West announced as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm sorry too! I don't want to have fights with my brother over some girl!" I admitted
"She's not just some girl to you Prussia, I can tell you have strong feelings for her. So good luck on your date!" West smiled
"Thanks West! Have fun on your Valentines day, I can give you a hint on what Italy might want!" I smirked
"Just get out!" He blushed, pushing me towards the door.
"Don't wait up!" I announced as I walked through the door.
As I closed the door and West was out of sight all my nerves came flooding back. Suddenly I remembered that the awesome Prussia shouldn't be nervous! He is so awesome that if Grace doesn't like him then it's her loss! However she is awesome too...I just pray that she likes me!
