I update quickly because I love this concept to death! And plus, I hate it when I have to make people wait for stuff! WATCH OUT: the kawaiiness has only just begun!

Feliciano loved the fact that he had the keys to Germany's house. He snuck inside the house, making sure to lock the door behind him, before plopping himself on the couch as if this was his own home. In his hands were a brand new sketchpad and a box of colored pencils he was able to charm out of the lady in the nearby shop.
Ve~~~what should I draw first? He thought. Hm…I don't think Holy Roman Empire would mind what I draw first…
He instantly recalled the daisies that were next to the bunnies that he had been watching before. Before he knew it, he was drawing them, making sure to pay attention to all the details and accent them in the way only artists can. After a few more strokes, he finally made the daisy that he was drawing.
It looks great! Almost like the daisy that I saw before! He sighed. It looks…so real.
Feliciano looked up and gave a long sigh before turning back to the sketchpad. And he almost dropped it. Cause when he looked down, the page was empty. And sitting delicately on top of the page was the daisy itself, lying there as if it had been plucked straight from the gardens. He picked it up and spun it between his two fingers.
It feels like a real flower too… His eyes widened. Wait…can I…?
He looked at the paper in front of him and quickly drew the most detailed apple that his hands can muster. He closed his eyes and then slowly opened them. Instantly, the apple was sitting patiently on the pad. Feliciano chirped as he picked it up and spun it in his hands. It smelled like an apple, felt like an apple, and tasted like-
Paper.
He sighed as he placed the apple back on the pad. Before his eyes, he saw it sink back into being an image on the paper, the bite mark still in there. Feliciano looked up in a sort of dazed shock before flipping to the next page, wondering what else he can draw up next.
I can bring things that I draw to life! That's so cool!

Ludwig could not believe what Arthur did to everyone. Sure, he could tolerate the whole "butler outfit", and maybe the "Britannian Angel" phase…but the fact that his magic had actually changed them into what they are now. He stared at the rock next to him and willed it to move a few feet away, seeing it move with ease before walking on. It was then that he realized that the door to his house was open.
Who the hell…?
He instantly thought that someone was breaking into his house. Don't houses of nations have some sort of protection on them or something? Slowly, he walked toward the door while holding his whip at his side. He inched the door as slow as he could, suddenly hearing the repeated 've' sound that he was familiar with.
"…Italy?"
The Italian suddenly jumped from his seat as Ludwig fully opened the door and walked in. He instantly stood up and ran toward the German, the sketchpad held tight in his hands and a pencil tucked behind his ear. Before he could do anything, Ludwig was skimming the room for any signs of the other man. Odd enough, Holy Roman Empire wasn't there.
"Where's…?" He couldn't even say his other name.
"He's with Roderich and Elizabeta…something about catching up with the times…" Feliciano's grin got wider. "Hey, hey! I want to show you something!"
Ludwig stared at him as he started to rapidly draw something in the sketchpad in his hands. After a few long seconds (he had to go grab his colored pencils), he showed him a beautiful image of a metal cross. It was the same shape as the one on Ludwig's uniform. Feliciano turned the sketchpad back to where he can see the image, suddenly screaming as a cross dropped onto his foot.
"What-?"
Ludwig's eyes opened as the cross shone brilliantly in the sunlight that came from the window. It was the same one that Feliciano drew. He picked it up, feeling the one that was pinned on his outfit. It was as if it was one and the same. Looking up, he saw Feliciano stare at a blank sheet of paper…the same one where he drew the cross on.
"Feliciano…"
"What do you think, Doitsu? I can draw things and they become real!" He chirped. "I just found that out a few minutes ago! Here, check this out!"
Ludwig stood up as Feliciano grabbed an orange and yellow pencil and started to rapidly sketch out something on the now empty paper. Suddenly, he started to panic and nearly dropped the notebook. It was then that Ludwig realized that he had set the whole page on fire. Calmly, he stood up and placed his hand over the flames.
"Ve~~~~~! Doitsu! You're going to burn yourself if you keep-"
The flames suddenly receded back into the paper as if nothing had happened. Feliciano stared at his paper for a few long minutes before he looked up at Ludwig's surprised face, obviously realizing yet another talent that the nation hadn't thought up. Then the grin returned to his cheeks.
"You have powers too? That's so cool!" He chirped.
"Uh…yeah, I kinda do…" Ludwig answered. "Everyone does, actually."
"Everyone?"
"Yeah. Alfred, Arthur, Wang Yao…Kiku…everyone."
"Ve~~~~~~"
Italy stared at him for a few minutes (or maybe he was dazing off or something…he could never really be sure) before he suddenly started drawing rapidly on the paper in front of him. Ludwig stared as he started to grab as many colored pencils as he could in order to get as many details as he could. After a few seconds of just zooming on the paper, he waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
…
And sighed.
"Feliciano…you can't just bring everything that you draw to life." Ludwig stated.
"Ve~~~I wanted this one to work…"
Ludwig shook his head as he watched Italy place the sketchbook on the table behind his couch. Curiously, he took a glance at what he was trying to bring to life (apparently Feliciano was too busy being sad about his lacking power to notice his curiosity). It took him a few minutes until he could get a good image.
It was a chibified version…
Of Germany.
Ludwig quickly turned his head away and covered his blush, alarming Feliciano that he had taken a look. He quickly closed the sketchpad as a blush ran through his face as well. They were standing there, two powerful countries in one of the most awkward situations to date.
"Uh…" It was all he could say. "W-what was the picture for?"
"Ve~~~" Feliciano held his arms. "It's so I can cuddle with Doitsu whenever I go to sleep at night…"
WHOA.
"Uh…um…" Come on, Germany. You got a good comeback for that, don't you? "What about Holy Roman Empire?"
"Ve~~~~I prefer Doitsu's warmth…"
He didn't know how, but for the first time ever, Ludwig saw Feliciano with an extremely troubled look on his face. Ludwig started to dig deep into his mind, trying to find a way to comfort him without accidentally stating how Holy Roman Empire and himself are the same. Suddenly, a strange thought crossed his mind.
"Hey, Italy…you can see me, yes?"
"Ve? Of course I can, Doitsu! You're as clear as a mirror!"
"But…your eyes are closed!"
"Hm…ve~~! Maybe it's an ability, like this one!"
"So…you've never opened your eyes before."
"Once or twice…"
"Do they look like your brother Lovino's?"
For some reason, that statement made Feliciano's troubled look return to his face. Ludwig was about to try a different topic when he suddenly pinned him to the wall, his hands holding close to his stomach. The German watched as Feliciano's eyes slowly opened, staring at his chest, before slowly making eye contact with his.
His eyes were gold…with a hint of hazel.
Just beautiful.
"So…they don't look like your brother's…"
"No…they don't…" He shivered. "This is…weird…"
"W-what's weird?" Other than the fact that they were just inches away from each other.
"I…I never showed anyone what my eyes looked like. Not even Holy Roman Empire…"
Wait, was that even POSSIBLE to do?
"Um…if it's weird, you can…close your eyes, you know…"
Italy blinked, his eyes now looking a bit watery. It was only then that Germany realized that he was tearing up. The rest of his energy lifted up his hands to hold the trembling Italian's body and wipe a falling tear. Feliciano then closed his eyes, and Ludwig felt him tremble underneath his hands.
"F-Feli...?"
He couldn't even finish saying the name. Italy was shaking so much that for a minute Germany thought that he was scared of something. The grip on his jacket tightened, and Ludwig watched as Feliciano slowly lifted his head up and lean toward Ludwig's mouth. The German could literally feel Italy's breath go into his mouth…
"Italy? Are you in here?"
They both paused as someone started to knock on the door. After a few long seconds, Italy backed up from Germany, closed his eyes and walked toward the door. Slowly opening it, he saw that it was Holy Roman Empire, a smile on his face. He greeted with a quick "hi" before stealing the kiss that was supposed to be for Germany. As Feliciano paused to sink it in, Holy Roman Empire gave Ludwig a glance that basically said "ha ha, I got here first".
Son. Of. A. BITCH. If it hadn't been for the fact that they were the same person, that man was as good as dead.
"H-Holy Rome…" Feliciano gasped out. "H-how did you know I was here?"
"I was told that you like hanging out here, so I decided to see if you were here." He answered. "Anything new with you?"
"O-oh! Actually…" Feliciano pulled out a daisy from his notebook. "This is for you! I drew it, and it just came out of the notebook!"
"Really? That's cool." He responded, as if it was just another piece of information. "Can I see anything else?"
"I…just started actually, Holy Rome." He answered. "I…I didn't even start thinking about what else I can draw…"
"Maybe if we go for a walk? That could help you find some inspiration."
Holy Roman Empire got the Italian's hands and the notebook and dragged him out of the door, as if Ludwig wasn't even in the room. He looked at the confused look on Feliciano's face as it sank into happiness. As they faded from his sight, a strange thought came to his mind.
He almost kissed me…
It was then that he realized that he wasn't alone. He turned his head and saw that there was no one there. He slowly closed the door as he held the whip at his side. There was definitely someone here…but where were they hiding? Were they armed? Were they after Italy?
"Who's there?" He asked.
"I-I'm sorry! I-I-"
He saw a figure materialize from the staircase, and he realized that it was only Matthew…someone's brother, he believed. He loosened his stance, allowing the Canadian to calm himself down. His hands lowered to his side.
"A-Alfred was wondering where you went, so…I offered to look for you…"
"…H-how much did you see?" He was blushing.
"N-not a lot!" He insisted. "But…Holy Roman Empire seems really close to Feliciano…"
"What can I say? He's a part of me."
It was then that Matthew knew what he meant, accenting the blush on the German's face. All of a sudden, they heard a strange voice echoing in the air. It was calling for Ludwig's attention, but he had no idea where it was coming from. Suddenly, he heard Matthew panic and turned around. What he saw was that someone was materializing from his shadow. And she looked freakin' scary.
"Ludwiiiig…" She stated. "My brother wants to see youuuu…"
"OK, OK! I'm going! Stop it, Natalya! Seriously!"
