Madness
Chapter 3- The Visitor
A/N: I own nothing-aru
If a word Japan says doesn't make sense, replace the R with L's and take away the U if there is any. If it still doesn't make sense, just say it out loud and relate it to the closest word possible.
"Bold"- Holy Rome singing
"Italics"- Italy singing
"Bold Italics"- Both singing
The song is called Happiness, from Rune Factory 3
He yawned. "That was a nice sleep…" He looked outside to see the sun was half way through the sky. He was supposed to wake up at the crack of dawn.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" He yelled, getting dressed in his work clothes. "I think I'm forgetting something…" he thought aloud, stopping to think; only half dressed. "We've got visitors coming over today! Mr Austria is going to be so mad!" he shouted, getting ready faster than ever before, the threat of Austria beating him looming over his head.
"I'm here!" Italy wheezed "I- sorry- Austria…" he looked around "Oh… you're not here yet… I better cook breakfast."
First, Holy Rome woke up from the delicious smell of food. "Italy, are you there?"
"Yes, Holy Rome. I've almost finished making breakfast, just wait a little while longer." He said
"Okay." Holy Rome said. Five seconds later, Italy came out with a plate of poached eggs, apple strudel, Dobos cake and pasta. He set the poached eggs in front of Holy Rome, put the strudel and the cake on the table in front of two vacant chairs next to each other. He sat on a chair next to Holy Rome and started to eat the only dish left in his little hands.
"Thank you Italy." He said to the other boy.
Italy stopped eating his pasta and wiped his mouth with a serviette and answered back: "That's okay, it was no trouble. I make meals every second week, so I get a lot of practice."
"Well, thank you anyway," Holy Rome said. Then he noticed that Hungary was up. He glared daggers at her.
"Oh, Miss Hungary! I made you your breakfast!" He pointed to the dish with the cake on it.
"Thank you Italy!" She said, walking to her seat, avoiding the daggers that Holy Rome sent her.
"It's delicious!" She said, and then ate. Shortly after she did, Austria woke up.
"Austria! I made Apfelstrudel for you!" Italy said proudly
"Thanks." And he ate it.
"By the way," Hungary said to Austria, "What's the time, and when will our guests get here?"
He looked at the clock, that somehow, he was the only one who could read it. "Its nine o'clock and our guests arrive around 12 o'clock."
"We've got three hours to clean. I will be helping as well." Austria finished and went to the cleaning cupboard
"Italy?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember when we used to work together, and we used sing? Do you still remember our song that we used to sing?"
"Yeah! I start first, don't I?"
Holy Rome nodded
"Fly Higher"
"And Higher"
"The wings of love come flying over me"
"While my heart is calling out, for you"
"Although it´s just another day"
"A day before tomorrow"
"I don´t Know why I took it for granted, with You by my side,"
"Cry"
"they all have come to realise two hearts that's were together, now then apart"
"I wish I had the kind of power to turn the tide and turn back to that time"
"Fly Higher and Higher the wings of love come flying over you"
"let me be the one to hold you close and give you happiness"
"without you"
"there is nothing in this world to carry on so I'm sending all my love"
"To you"
At the end of the song they both laughed at their perfect memories of the song.
"W-wow." Austria let out a breath
"They used to sing that song all the time together." Hungary said "there's no way could he be a faux Holy Rome."
"It still doesn't explain the cold attitude he had to us." Austria said
"I told you he's probably just war-hardened…" She trailed off
"Oh Miss Hungary, Mr. Austria! What are you doing there? Shouldn't you be cleaning?" Italy yelled to them.
"Ahaha, yeah! Funny story, Austria and I started to clean this hallway when we heard singing. We unfortunately got here at the end of your beautiful song." Hungary said, trying to cover up the true story
"Oh, Okay!" Italy said as he turned back to cleaning and singing with Holy Rome.
Three hours later, everything was glistening like diamonds, cleaned to perfection.
"That took forever." Austria pointed out.
"True" Hungary answered.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound that came piercing through the silent air. It was the doorbell. The visitors had finally arrived.
"There here! Just in time, too!" Austria sighed. "I'm coming!" He ran to the door.
"Hi-aru!" The unfamiliar sounded
"Herro. Sorry for my big brother's… outwardness" a small voice said.
"Oh no," Holy Rome shook a little. "It's that weird China guy."
"Who's the other guy?" Italy asked him.
"I don't know. When I met him, there was no one else there when I met him." Holy Rome stated
"Oh." Italy puffed.
By now, the visitors had come into the room. The first guy had long, deep brown hair, tied in a side pony tail and was wearing a red pi quao, and the other one was little, with short, straight black hair and was wearing a purple top and shorts.
"Hi, I'm China-aru!"
"I am carrued Japan. It is a presure to meet ruu." The little one finished.
"Say Hello, children." Austria demanded.
"Hello," both of them said
"Ni hao-aru."
"Konichiwa." Japan was more polite than his brother and showed so by bowing to them.
"Now, Italy, would you prepare lunch, while Hungary and I show these two to their rooms? Holy Rome, wash up for lunch."
They all did their respective jobs, and after Holy Rome helped Italy with preparing the meal.
Once everyone was at the table, hungry for lunch, Italy and Holy Rome brought out the dishes of all different foods.
The Things that they had for dinner yesterday seemed to duplicate, but there was also different dishes added to yesterday's menu. There was still the beef stew, the Kifli, Käsekrainer, pizza, pasta, schnitzel, potato mash and pretzels but there were some other dishes, too. There was dumplings, sushi, noodles and also sashimi, even a bento.
"Dig in!" Italy announced
"Thanks for the meal!" Everyone said in perfect sync. Of course, China put 'aru' at the end of his version of the sentence
"How did you rearn to make such good sushi?" Japan asked Italy in his funny-sounding accent.
"Well, I found the recipe in an old book." Italy answered
"These noodles are nice also-aru. Are they beef-flavored-aru?" China asked the smallest country.
"Yes!" Italy answered
"I'm full!" Austria sighed happily.
"Already, Austria?" Hungary chastised.
"Yes." An evil aura surrounded him
"Oh, Really?" an evil aura started to surround her. The two started to have a stare off.
"Oh no," Japan said "Do these two rusaly fight?"
"Yes." Italy answered with a steely complexion, obviously embarrassed by the adults.
"Definitely." Holy Rome agreed the same look painted on his face.
For the rest of lunch time, the table was silent, bar the fierce growls of the two fighting countries. China quite enjoyed them fighting, though. He thought, when he gets back to Shanghai, he would animate a romantic comedy a little like what was being played out in front of him.
"That was nice, Thank you, Itaria." Japan said to the boy.
"I don't mind, at all." He answered back.
Italy got up from his chair and cleared away all the empty dishes on the table and put them in the kitchen to be washed.
The three littlest, and probably most mature, stepped away from the table, looked at their elders (Hungary and Austria were still fighting and China was laughing at them.) asked themselves sadly, am I going to grow up to be like that? And stalked off to the biggest room in the house, which happened to be the rumpus room.
"So, what are we going to do?" Japan asked the pair
Both grinned at him
