"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Italia! Happy Birthday to you!" Sang every single county. Each country recognized that it was their friends, and allies, birthday today. March seventieth. Today, Italy was turning one hundred and fifty-four. Now, thinking now, that's not that old compared to England, or America. Well, that's because unification was one hundred and fifty-four years ago. And the only two who remember that day so well, are the Italian brothers.

It was the nineteenth century, and two young men were being brought together after being apart for so long. It had been years, centuries, for these brothers to have been forcefully taken away from each other. Every night, a prayer, a wish for the other to be happy and safe wherever they may be.

The day the elder was taken from his younger sibling was the day his heart had broken. You see, Lovino Vargas was in love with Feliciano Vargas. As wrong as it may have been, he grew the attraction for him, and never regretted falling in love with him. But then that day came when Feliciano's care taker decided to hand over South Italy to Spain.

Antonio was to take Lovino away from Feliciano to be a servant. This brought tears to both their eyes. Tears that never seized to fall to this day. To have been broken apart like that makes the brothers weep such sorrowful tears. They were never meant to have been taken away from one another. They were suppose to grow up together, happy, and in love.

Well, that's only what Lovino thought.

Day by day the elder would go against his orders to do this, or do that, and instead to the exact opposite. Lovino would show no respect to the man who pried him away from his brother. Sure, there were times when Lovino had to be thankful for Antonio, he wasn't so bad all the time. Sometimes he was really nice, and very kind. On and off again, Lovino would quarrel with his boss, but in the end Antonio would win. Lovino was just to lazy to finish the quarrel.

Feliciano missed his brother dearly. However, having the Holy Roman Empire there by his side always made things better for him. Feliciano really liked Holy Rome. So much that he considered him to be his first love. Holy Rome helped Feliciano forget the painful hole his brother had left him, and replace it with something more fun and lovable. However, not everything was meant to last with his new love.

One day, the Holy Roman Empire decided to pick up his things, and head off, leaving Feliciano behind all alone once again. The brothers had to live their lives separately for so long with a never ending yearning to see each other's faces once more.

"Just once, so I can tell him how I really feel…." The elder would think.

"Just once, so we can be together again…" The younger would ponder.

Time would flow ever so slowly for them. Time was like a punishment for them, so painful, and nerve wrecking.

"Will today be the day? What about tomorrow? Or next week?" They both would say to themselves.

When would they be back together? Days would come and go. Weeks passed, then months passed, seasons would fly. Still, neither of them would walk through the others door. And within a haste, they would count each silent day, until they would hold each other once more.

Finally, the day had arrived. Unification day. North and South Italy were to be brought back together to unify them into one Italy. Upon hearing the news, Lovino was more than ecstatic! However, Antonio was saddened. He was losing his underling, and best friend. Not to mention how Antonio had grew feelings for his little Romano over the years. Now he had to give him up so that he could be with Feliciano once again.

Looking over his shoulder and seeing a rare smile on Lovino's face told Antonio that he was ready to leave. He was finally ready to depart and return home to where he belonged. With his brother. Antonio thought to himself "If he is happy… Well then, I'm happy too. I could wish nothing more for my Roma."

Feliciano heard the news from his two caretakers. With Lovino once again? How joyous! To be one, and have a big brother once again! The younger was very excited and began preparing himself. Hungary, one of his care takers, handed him a dress she had in storage for a long time. She told Feliciano that she wore it for Austria on their unification day. Beaming with joy, the young man thanked her, and rushed to changed into the green silken dress.

The day was the seventeenth of March, 1860. The first to arrive in Rome was Lovino. He was with Antonio, who decided to wear his old pirate uniform, and Lovino was dressed in fancy dress. A white suit with a black tie, and a fedora to accompany the whole look. The pair walked in together, and said their goodbyes to each other. There were tears flowing from both of their eyes, but they knew this wasn't to be the last time they would see each other.

"Adios, Roma. Te amo…" Antonio said as he hugged his friend tightly.

"Ciao, you stupid tomato bastard… Ti amo." Lovino replied as he nuzzled into Antonio's neck.

Letting go of each other, Antonio left without saying another word. Lovino stood there in the foyer waiting for the arrival of his brother. Looking at his wrist watch, then to the grandfather clock. "Where the fuck is he?" Lovino would say pacing back and forth.

Then the doors finally opened. Lovino's head quickly turned to see a woman standing there in a green dress that went knee length. She wore white stockings and black shoes. Looking up, he could see flower petals carelessly tossed all around the dress. Gazing up more he saw her long eyelashes, and pert pink lips. Along with lilies sewn through her hair to resemble a flower crown. She began to step forward, and the vision of her began to become more clear.

This wasn't a woman… This was a man! Lovino gazed at his neck and saw the Adams apple bobbing as if to swallow nervously. Then as this man stopped right in front of him, Lovino looked into his coffee brown eyes, and recognized this man.

"F-Fratello…?" Lovino said slowly.

Nodding, Feliciano smiled and wrapped his arms around his big brother. He began to sob happily while shouting out Lovino's name happily.

"Fratellone! Lovi! I haven't seen you forever! Fratellone!" Feliciano nuzzled into his chest and then pulled back so that he could wipe his tears. "I missed you so much fratellone."

"As did I… You look so different. Did you chose to wear that dress?" Lovino said a little nervously.

"Oh, this? Ve~ Elizabeta gave it to me, saying she wore it on the day she and Roderich were unified. Mr. Austria seemed very flushed when he saw me in this. Guess he has some old memories of it." Feliciano said as he let out a giggle.

Realizing what this meant, Lovino began to blush. "Ah, You do know they were married right? Did she wear that for him… on their… wedding night?" Lovino said while scratching the back of his neck nervously.

"Hmmm? No, just the day they were unified." The younger replied with much added esteem to his voice.

Taking in a deep breath, the elder sighed and reached down to grab his brother's hand. "Shall we go and sign the paper's then? I want to get this over and done with." Lovino said as he began to pull Feliciano over to a very formal table.

There laid the document that needed their signatures to prove that Italy was to be unified. Lovino, being the elder, signed it first, and then allowed Feliciano to sign it. The both stamped it with the seal of approval. Walking away from it, the then went up stairs to wonder around.

The view to their kingdom was beautiful from the second floor. Wide open gilded windows showing the crowds of peoples celebrating their countries new birth date. The two brothers walked into a bedroom, where they had noticed wine, and began to make a toast to one another.

Clinking their glasses, they sipped on the delicious wine, and began to discuss their lives as they were apart. Then came the part where Lovino's drunkenness got the best of him. He let his most precious secret slip past his wine laced lips.

"Every night… I would think about you. I would remember your adorable smile, and that sweet voice of yours. I remember feeling your body warmth against mine when we used to share a bed. Your smooth skin… And soft lips. Your soft lips whenever you would kiss me on the cheek. It was like I was being kissed by an angel." Taking a deep breath, he looked at his brother who now had a confused expression. "I fell in love with that angel. And… to this day I still love that angel."

Eyes going wide, Feliciano's mouth opened and closed as if to say something, but then something prevented him from even trying. Lovino was kissing him. Not on the cheek, but the lips. The actual lips! Feliciano had no idea what to do. He raised his hands up as if to push him away, but he simply couldn't. All the words Lovino had said, Feliciano felt the same way.

Feliciano missed his brother's smile, and laugh. He missed that familiar scent, and body he could curl up beside in bed. He missed kissing his cheek. Hell, he missed his brother so much. Feliciano ended up throwing his arms around Lovino and moaning into the kiss.

Pulling back, Lovino began to pepper kisses on Feliciano's face, then nibble on his neck. Feliciano let out sighs, and long hearty moans as he felt this. His arms still remaining tightly wrapped around Lovino's back. Lovino was pushing his hips down into Feliciano's, and this provoked a large growl to come out of the elder's throat.

"Feliciano… My Feliciano… Fratellino." Lovino kept moaning as he nibbled and licked on Feliciano's ear. The elder pushed his hips more against Feliciano's hips and began to grind against him. This caused both of them to let out more louder moans. Pulling back from the ear he was nibbling on, Lovino stared right into the gleaming eyes of his younger brother. "I want to be one with you. I want to unify with you forever fratello."

Nodding rapidly, the younger moaned loudly to approve of his brother's wishes. "Sí! Sí! Let us unify fratello! I want to be one! Tí amo tanto!" Lovino began to strip himself, along with his brother. That beautiful dress was now another memory for unification day. Kisses were being delivered all over Feliciano's body. The younger was gripping into the sheets and moaning endless adorations to his brother.

And finally they had become one. One apart of the other, and forever lingering on each others hearts. Their lips crashed together, and began to dance as their bodies created something beautiful. Hips moving and crashing, the sound of fluttering whispers in the air. Faster, faster, harder, harder, it would grow to be more amazing! Their souls were combining into one, setting each others hearts on fire with the glow of ecstasy.

Time crashed into them, and Lovino released himself inside of his brother. Their climax sent shivers down both their spines, as they could both feel the sparks of love clinging to their chests. Falling over, Lovino wrapped his arms around Feliciano's waist, and began to kiss his cheek.

"We are one… And I don't ever want to give you up again. I love you Feliciano." Lovino whispered softly into Feliciano's ear before kissing it gently.

"I love you too fratellone… I promise I won't ever leave you." The younger said as he felt his finger intertwining with his elders. That night, they shared a bed once more. Italy had finally become one.

Happy Birthday Italia, and here is to you having another 154 years of happiness together, full of love, and life.
