Innocents CH. 18

Fun Fact: I had a German Shepard named 'Lady Bird', before I even heard of Hetalia, I always called her 'Birdie'.

WTF FACTS (since I forgot about one in chapter seventeen...): forty people are sent to the hospital for dog bites every minute. Like my dad says, if they bite you, YOU BITE THEM BACK.

WTF: The lion in the original MGM logo killed its trainer and two assistants a day after the logo was filmed.

Notes: You've waited long enough, so I'll give you the bad guy's name. I'm serious. Also, this is where we get our couple moments. You're probably thinking: About damn time we get our fluffiness with our couples! The kiss scene will happen a little later with our main pairing, because it's the sweetest to wait.

Reviewers:

Masaki-Hanabusa: Shi, but if it were MY dad, he'd have a shotgun ready (prison or not). Gotta love overprotective dads, they prepare you to choose between assholes and rare gentlemen. Finding great guys are like trying to find a shiny Umbreon, that's why I developed a crush on Male! Belarus. Yes, yes I have.

VintageHeartss: Da. No, you're not rude, no worries, and thank you for reviewing!

SocietyMember: Ja, it is funny. Every time I think of that word, 'Prussia' comes in mind. It's unavoidable! Yes, it would!

Kunikohime Madoka Tanuki: Si, here it is!

Begin, ye?:

A LITTLE EARLIER:

Before the 'war' started, him and his sidekick looted up some interesting things in people's houses. Mr. Gupta Hassen had to wait before Heracles' allies dragged some people into the prison. Some were cursing, some went willingly. Well, at least there'll be a lot less blood to spill. Like the Grinch, he gathered a huge burlap sack and started rummaging through people's houses. His side-kick helped him. They did it fast and swift. When the bags were full, Gupta ordered a 3 0' clock plane ride from one of his gang members. Him and his sidekick would leave as soon as possible after Gupta killed Romulus. His main goal was to kill that bastard first, and he didn't care what the cost was, not even his or his companion's own life/ves. For now, he will wait in the shadows with his rifle until he had seen Romulus as his sidekick entered that prison.

…...CURRENT TIME (which is about eight 0' clock at night)...

It was time to sleep. The nurses that Elizabeta requested had finally came, and each person had an unlocked cell to sleep in, making other prisoners jealous. Ludwig of course slept by Feliciana (no, the other prisoners don't know that she's a girl), and a snuggle fest tried to follow. Antonio tried to cuddle with Lovina, but she wouldn't have it. Kristine threatened to murder Matthias, Chun looked at Ivan weirdly, but decided that she didn't mind him near, and they slept side-by-side. Tiina was too scared (secretly enjoyed it) as Berwald slept beside her, and you can imagine that Gilbert was hugging Madeline like a teddy bear, said girl was blushing. Amelia was snoring lightly as Arthur grumbled that 'the Git pushed me out of the bed again', Feliks totally slept beside Lien. Said girl was unused that her comfort space was being invaded, but it was Feliks, she liked him. You can imagine the rest, I suppose. T'was a good night. Oh, and Sakura was with Heracles, sleeping in their own bed surrounded by many cats, a real lady's dream.

…...

"So, tomato bastard, why in hell do you love me?" She asked, looking at the bottom bunk. She couldn't sleep, and the question was bugging her.

"Well Lovina, there's a lot of reasons."

"Trust me, I've got time."

"Well, you're sweet, although you deny and hide it, you cook good, you can stand up for yourself, you take shit (did he just cuss again?) from nobody, you pretend not to like me because you don't know what it's like to confess or fall in love, you hide your feelings, Lovi," Antonio began, yawning. Lovina blushed, how in the hell did he notice these things?!

"You're wondering how that I know these things, well, I know you. I can read through you. You know the bright side of me, mi tomate, but you don't know the dark side."

"You of all people have a dark side?" Lovina rolled her eyes.

"Si. I discovered it when some bad people were threatening mi momma at age ten. I learned to control it, but it slips up. Like that time you got shot."

Lovina blushed. Great, he admits he loves her, and he gives her some pretty good damn reasons why.

"May I sleep with you?" He asked, suddenly. Lovina looked down, and Antonio had his 'puppy eyes'.

"Sleep. Next to, bastard."

"Is that a 'si'?"

"...fine. But you better not snore!" She warned.

She didn't have time to blink before a happy Spaniard joined her, hugging her.

…...

"So what are you going to do vhen you get out of zere?" Ludwig asked. He really cannot believe that they didn't even kissed yet. He blushed at the thought.

"Ve, after this whole fight is over, I'm thinking about staying here and continue the cafe with mi Sorella." Feliciana looked up at the ceiling, lying next to Ludwig. How in the hell are they not a couple yet?

"Vhy? Zere is so much out zere. You told me zat you wanted to become an artist."

"Ve, but the cafe is closer to where you are." She swore she could feel Ludwig's blush. She giggled a bit.

"Vhat's so funny?" He half-heartedly demanded.

"You're face is all red, ve!" She pointed out. He huffed and crossed his arms.

"Ja it is! Anyvay, when I get out of zis prison, I'm continuing to be zay doctor, but I'm staying here...because, well..."

"Ve?" Feli asked. Go on...

"Mein family are here, und...so are you." He tensed, uneasy around 'romantic' feelings.

"Hey, I just realized something, ve." Feliciana said after a few moments of silence.

"Vhat's zat?" Ludwig asked, sleep coming to him.

"Your eyes look pretty."

Wait, what?

He shrugged it off. Must be some weird affection/romance thing that girls say.

"J-ja, so are yours." He stuttered out, and he was telling the truth, they are pretty.

…...

"So, vhat did you do before you met ze awesome me?" Gilbert asked Madeline. Said girl was wrapped warmly in his arms.

"W-well, before mom kicked us out, I cleaned the house, cooked, and did all the chores. When I lived with f-father, I did the house work, and worked as a vet."

"No vay! Zat is so awesome! How did it go, vith your job?"

"I didn't fail, but they said I could do better..."

"Zat's unfair! Birdie, vhen ve get out of zere, I'm going to show you all ze vays how to take care of farm animals!" Gilbert declared.

"Thank you, Gilbert."

"I vill do anyzing for mein Birdie!" He laughed. Madeline smiled and scooted closer to him, making him blush. Dammit, the girl got him good.

…...Yes, another line because I want more fluffiness!...

This is for SocietyMember, because it has AUSHUN, and she loves this pairing!

"So, how are things here?" He was alone with her, and oddly, the fights in the prison had dwindled, meaning less nurse visits.

"Well, Roddy, it's...I want to go back to Austria with you when this is all over." Elizabeta said as she signed some papers.

"Really?" He looked at her. Nursing has been her dream, but he knew that she liked children more.

"It's this environment, and there's a lot of bad people in prison, Roddy. In Austria," Her voice softened. "You can keep your job as a pianist, and I can be a teacher for the young children. Who knows? Maybe I'll teach our children one day."

Roderich thought about it, face turning a little red. She'd be completely safe from these hooligans, away from Gilbert (even though he has Madeline, now), in his house in Austria. Elizabeta would take her students on field trips to their house, and they can have piano lessons and cake and tea. She had first moved here because she wanted to help people, good or bad, and pitied the prisoners. After a while, he then gave in to her wishes because he loved her. Now to his excitement, she wants to go back with him to Austria.

"I promise you, Elizabeta, when this is all over, we'll move back home." Roderich said, feeling warm inside his heart.

He was startled by her sudden hug. He looked into her green eyes, and her soft smile, and he couldn't help but smile himself.

"You know," She said. "I'm glad we're married." And she kissed him.

…...

"When I go back to Mother Russia, I'm going to bring my sunflowers and you." Ivan smiled suddenly.

"Why me, aru?"

"Do you have anywhere else to go?" Ivan tilted his head.

"Well, when I was framed for killing somebody, they took everything away, aru. No..."

"Good! In Mother Russia, I'm going to be a great business man, and you will help me, da?"

"Why do you want me, aru?" Chun was getting confused.

"Because, you're part of the family. All I have is Natalya, Katyusha, my servants, and now you. Katyusha seems to be over that Mafia boy," Chun detected an overprotective aurora from him.

"It won't take long for Natalya realize that she likes Toris, after so many threats, he still wants her, Eduard will be selling computers in his own business, Raivis will either help him, me, or go to his own job, and I'll be alone."

"What's your business, aru?" Chun asked.

"I own an antique store."

After a few moments of silence, Ivan looked at Chun. She looked a little stressed.

"Chun, are you okay?"

"I was thinking about my store. It sold all sorts of antiques, from Asian pottery, to stuffed animals. Yes, I'll go with you to Russia. I have no where else to go, and maybe I can help you with the store, aru."

"Thank you, Chun." Ivan said sweetly.

"No problem, aru." She said as Ivan gave her a hug.

…...

"Hey, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Good. You know, why in the hell aren't we a couple yet?" Matthias asked Kristine.

"You're annoying, loud, a dumbass, and I'm non-annoying, silent, and smart."

"You know what they say how opposites attract." Matthias looked up at Kristine and winked.

"How long have we known each other? Since we were children." She said calmly.

"And?"

"I still don't find you attractive at all. Nor a good father type, a good husband, nor can you stop flirting with other women." Kristine looked away, reading her book.

"Wait, you of all people want to settle down?" Matthias looked at his friend from childhood in an odd manner.

"Yes. Matthias, I'm twenty-nine. I've been in the Mafia since I was thirteen, you know that I've always liked kids."

Matthias grinned as he remembered that Kristine had worked at a daycare, she was a pro at it; telling fairy tales to them when they were sad, singing softly.

"Well, Kristy. I'm thirty-five, and look at me, I don't have any kids, and I've been in the Mafia the same year as you and the others. Maybe I'd settle down, too."

"You won't keep anybody, your heart is too far away from anybody." Kristine said, flipping through her book.

"So you think. Kristine," His voice was awfully serious, and Kristine looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Do you know why I flirt with other women? I wanted to make you jealous."

"Moron. Why?"

"Because when I first saw that little girl cross-dressing at my house, I liked her."

"So...you preferred boys?" Kristine looked at him oddly. Matthias, despite himself, blushed.

"It doesn't matter what gender the person is, love is love! Anyway, yes. I liked you when you were a cross-dressing best friend. Since you've opened up to me, and showed your true identity in the Mafia, it became more than 'just friends' for me, okay?" Matthias huffed, crossing his arms. Sometimes they didn't understand each other.

"Why? I beat you up every chance I can get." Kristine, despite herself, turned a little red.

"Well, it's because nobody took their time and noticed me. You know how my family were, you know how Berwald and Tiina are too gooey romantics, they don't pay attention. Emil adores you, but he doesn't really like nor pay attention to me. You beat me up, you notice me...and if I have to be an annoying idiot to get your attention, dammit, I'll be an annoying idiot." Matthias looked at Kristine and smirked.

"You...why now of all time?" She faltered, a little flustered.

"Because, I might not live when the whole killing spree happens, and neither might you. Nobody could live when it happens. I wanted to tell you before I...I died or something, you've become my closest best friend, and love. There. I said it finally. I don't care if you love someone else, I just wanted you to know that, and i-if...if you love somebody else, I'm happy if you're happy." Matthias stammered. He felt a book hit his head.

"Ow! Krist-" She was face to face with him.

"You're an idiot. A moron with too much air in his head, probably the worst person to get drunk with, a horrible father figure, and the ugliest son of a bitch I've ever seen," She started. Matthias looked at her in horror, and to his surprise, she smiled. A warm smile that he didn't see since before they joined the Mafia.

"But, you're my idiotic stupid son of a bitch." Then she closed the gap in between them.

…...

Super long, fluffy, cute, and I hope that it didn't suck in some areas. This is for the rare ones who like Fem!Norway X Denmark. Oh yeah, Gupta represents Egypt.
