Hi again! Welcome to Chapter 2! Now, I hope this story isn't too weird by the way. This is my first Hetalia fanfic....should have said that earlier in all honesty. This is more popular than I expected. Oh, and Anyway, onwards with the epic storyness!

DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN AXIS POWERS HETALIA OR ITS CHARACTERS! Well, I do own any character I make up.


Chapter 2 - I have to stop dreaming.

I feel my mind returning to my body. Great, it's time to wake up. The sun shone through the window. Ah, the perfect 30 seconds of bliss, welcome into my mind. I open my eyes, and look around. This...isn't my bed! It's my living room! And...what the hell am I on? I look at the 'thing', and blush. Feliciano. He is still asleep, his hair curl bouncing to match the rhythm of his breathing. He was talking in his sleep, too. His most common words are 'Bela-chan', 'pasta' and 'Germany'. I smile, stroking his cheek...no! I can't do that! He's Ludwig's guy, now. I had missed my chance. I shouldn't let Ludwig lose his. I shake Feliciano, hoping he would wake up.

"Italy-kun, wake up!" I say, shaking him.
"Hm? Bela-chan? I'm going back to sleep, ve!" he mutters, rolling over. I'd have to use my secret weapon!
"Italy-kun? Pasta." I smile, watching as he bolted upright.
"Pasta? Where, where? I want pasta, ve!" he smiles looking around.
"There is no pasta. But...if you want to go on your date, you'd best go home, because you need to get ready! It's already... 3 pm?? Oh no!" I panic.
"Really? Oh no! I'm sorry, Bela-chan, I have to go, ve!" he gets up, and runs out of the door. Dammit.

I suppose I should get ready for my date. I go in the shower, trying not to spend too long. After all, I need to save money, otherwise I won't have anything to eat. I get out, and wrap the closest towel around me, and run into my room. I look in the wardrobe....do I only own dresses? I sigh as I take out the plainest-looking dress - a dress that starts at my chest and ends at my knees. Blood-red, might I add. I put it on, making sure I don't look slutty. And now, I just have to wait 30 mins for Toris to arrive. I can't help but...feel sad. I let Feliciano just walk out. But, if things go well, I could be Toris' girlfriend. Ok, so maybe I'm using him as I'm on the rebound. But, a lot of good things could happen. I can already feel it, all the good things. But...what about Ivan? Has Toris told Ivan about the date? I don't even know. I get up to look for my mobile, and I hear it going off. I look at it, and I've got 3 texts, each from someone different.
'Hey, it's Lithuania. Look, I may be a bit late. See you later.' I scroll down to the next text.
'Good luck on your date tonight! I hope both of our dates go well!' Feliciano... I frown, and look at the next one.
'It's Russia. I heard you were going on a date with Lithuania. Don't break his fingers this time.'

I look at the time. 7:30 pm. Toris should be here, soon. I look in the mirror. I look fine except....my bow! I run upstairs and get a blood red ribbon and put it in my hair. Then, I made the bow. Now I feel much better. I hear faint knocking on the door. Crap, it's Toris! I run downstairs and open the door. And there he was. Toris. He looked a bit shy, and was clutching a bouquet of black roses. They must have cost a fortune!

"Hi, Lithuania! Come in!" I skillfully smile a fake smile.
"Belarus, are you ready, then?" he asks, still holding the roses. "Oh, and these are for you."
I take the roses. "Thank you. I'll just go get my shoes on, and I'll be done, alright?"
"Yeah, of course." he looks a bit red. Is he okay?

I run upstairs. Shoes, shoes, shoes....! Found the pair! Blood red shoes, to go with my bow and dress. I hope I don't look too slutty. And I hope Toris doesn't get too shy. I walk back down stairs, careful not to fall. I don't wear high heels every day, so I'm not used to them. Toris looks...amazed. His eyes are wide open, and he looks like a statue. What is wrong with him? Do I really look that slutty?

"Lithuania....what's wrong?" I ask, as his face was turning a deep red.
"You look...stunning." he manages to whisper. I blush. The only other person to have said that was Feliciano. Dammit, I have to get him out of my mind!
"So...what did you have in mind?" I smile at him, hoping he would calm down.
"Well, and all-time classic. Dinner and a movie. I'm not too good with dates. And...you won't break my fingers, right?" he looks scared now. Is this why I have no friends?
"Lithuania, I already promised - I'm not going to hurt you. Unless you seriously annoy me. But, I doubt you would do that, right?" I look at him in the eyes. I hate doing that.
"No, I would never hurt you or annoy you purposely." he looks at me in the eyes, too.

You know, I hope this works out. Then I could stop thinking about Feliciano. It's a one-sided crush, anyway. What's the point? I'll end up pushing him away if we do end up together, or 'll be just plain cruel. I have to stop dreaming.


Well, that's it for Chapter 2! Please, feel free to review, ask questions, add suggestions...anything! I'm sorry about the length, but I wanted to stop it before they went on the date. Don't worry, they will go on another date, but...hey! I was about to tell you the plot, there! Hah, you can wait, can't you? Hope you will read Chapter 3, which will I will be writing as you read this one. I promise I won't be too long!
