Italy had just finished preparing breakfast and helped Hungry set the table. Everyone was ready to eat, but Holy Rome wasn't there. Italy walked down to his room, but Holy Rome wasn't there either. All of Holy Rome's things were gone. The room was empty.
"Where could he be?" Italy said to himself. Italy then heard the sound of horses and saw a carriage and a wooden trailer. There were people putting Holy Rome's things into the trailer. Holt Rome stood off to the side with a sad look on his face. Concerned, Italy went outside to see what was going on. Italy ran to Holy Rome as fast as his little legs would carry him.
"Holy Rome, where are you going?" he asked as he reached him. Holy Rome still looked sad before he spoke.
"I have to go away for a while Italy. I don't know when I'll be back." Holy Rome held Italy's hands. "I will never forget you." Italy didn't want his dear loved one to go away. Italy hugged Holy Rome tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"No, I don't want you to go. Please don't leave me all alone Holy Rome. Please don't go. Don't leave me, no."
"I'm sorry Italy." Holy Rome broke the hug and looked Italy in the eyes. "I don't want to go either, but I have to. I promise I will write to you all the time." Holy Rome wiped away Italy's tears.
"Wait here, Holy Rome. I want to give you something." Italy scampered back inside Austria's house and grabbed his push broom out of the closet. He came back to Holy Rome a few minutes later. Italy handed him the broom.
"Here, hopefully this will help you think of me." Holy Rome smiled as he held the broom.
"Thank you Italy. I shall cherish it always. But I don't have anything to give to you. Tell me, what do your people do if they like someone?" Holy Rome blushed when he asked. Italy lightly blushed back.
"Um, they kiss, I think."
"Ok." Holy Rome leaned into Italy and they both shared a gentle and sweet kiss. It seemed to last forever, as if time had stood still. The kiss ended and Italy was smiling at Holy Rome.
"I love you, Italy. Even if you are a boy." Holy Rome said.
"I love you too, Holy Rome." Italy replied.
"Holy Rome, it's time to go." One of the men said. Holy Rome nodded to him. Italy and Holy Rome shared one finale hug and a finale kiss. Italy watched Holy Rome climb into the carriage and they said their last goodbyes.
"Be careful Holy Rome. I'll miss you and I'll make lots of special treats for when you get back. Try not to get sick. Don't get injured or die violently either."
