Immutable: adj. Not susceptible to change; unchanging or unchangeable.

Italy's little feet padded against the soft ground as he walked through the tall grasses.

"Holy Roman Empire where are you?" He called shakily, searching for the boy. He really wished he didn't have to do this. Holy Roman Empire was so scary. His stern, fiery eyes made Italy want to shake and hide in a corner. But Mr. Austria told him to go find him. Mr. Austria scared Italy much more then Holy Romano Empire and his intimidating eyes.

"Holy Roman Empire?" He called again a bit louder."Where are you?" He pushed past the grass and came to a small clearing near a river. Finally he caught sight of the large black hat that Holy Roman Empire always wore. Italy smiled in relief.

"Holy Roman Empire!" Italy ran towards the boy. He was sitting under a large tree, his nose stuck in a book. Even after he called again Holy Roman Empire still didn't look up from the large book seated in his lap.

Italy stared at him. He was close enough to see his blue eyes flick back and forth across the page in rapid motions. The book must have been very interesting for him to be so captivated by it. Italy scooted closer to the boy till he leaned over his shoulder. He stared at the words for a minute before he turned his sight to the boy next to him. Italy couldn't help but notice his eyes didn't look as intimidating from here.

Suddenly he met those blue eyes full on.

They stared at each other for a moment in absolute silence.

Holy Roman Empire jumped back, letting out a strangled squawking sound. Italy let out his own surprised squeak as he clenched his hands together. Tears built up in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry! It was an accident! I'll never do it again! Please don't hurt me, I have relatives in your country!" Italy squealed shaking.

"I-Italy?" Holy Roman Empire's face exploded into a dark red as he tried to calm his thundering heart. "I-I-Italy. It's o-ok. I won't hurt you." He said hesitantly.

Italy brightened up instantly. "Really? Great! I was so worried! Ve~. What are you reading? It must be very good. Can I read it too?"

Holy Roman Empire froze and suppressed the urge to run away as fast as he could. Instead he sat back down next to the tree and opened his book up again. He sent Italy a quick nod and buried his nose back into the book trying to hide his red face.

Italy cheered. "Yay Ve~." He leaned over and began to scan the pages.

They started out reading but Italy had a problem with sitting still for long periods of time when they didn't involve painting. So, naturally Italy began to talk. It wasn't about anything important. Painting, pasta, the cute cat he found in the field, the gross food at Austria's house, and everything he could think about. Holy Roman Empire only listened at first. Soon however, he began to add in every now and again. That made Italy brighten up even more.

The book found itself closed and forgotten as they talked. Italy and Holy Roman Empire talked for hours and hours; they barely even noticed when the sun started to set and the sky turn a bright orange.

Italy sighed in content as he leaned against the tree. He smiled softly as he watched Holy Roman Empire star at the sky.

"You know what." Holy Roman Empire snapped his eyes away from the sky.

"What?" he asked.

"We should talk like this forever."

Holy Roman Empire flushed at the thought but nodded. "W-we should." He said finally. Italy cheered tiredly.

"We'll never change ok. I can't wait to tell Miss. Hungary and Mr. Aust-. Oh no! Mr. Austria! We have to go!"

"Germany where are you?"

I'm a firm believer in the Germany=HRE thingy m' bobber ok? It just all adds up. Like toats man! Anyway, I had gillions of ideas for this word. It started out as an Asian family one but my dear friend SQUARED Mango said I should make it GerIta and I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Don't worry this isn't in the world of Dark! Italy so it's all fluff. It only seems fair I give Germany fluff after I killed him.
