A/N: Of course when i'm really pumped up to write things get in my way...sorry but I had so much stuff going on so here's the next chapters way way way late.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia

I barely remember the rest of that night. I heard from Ludwig later that I had broken down and that I hadn't responded to anyone. And that I had scared him I had scared all of them. I felt bad about that when I finally came too, Camilla told me that they had decided to stay here for the night since we weren't going to get a hotel for the life of us. I made more pencil marks on the paper trying to recreate Makayla's face and partly to calm myself down. The night was fast approaching and the room was getting darker and darker.

Camilla was trying to make a cradle out of clothes for Makayla and Arthur was thinking like he usually did. I wasn't good at thinking like he was, I was good at distracting myself which was actually what I was doing now before the light went and I can't see my drawings. Ludwig was lying next to me I had really worried him earlier when I had just stopped thinking, or maybe I was overthinking and hadn't responded.

"Ludwig?" I said quietly looking at him hoping he wasn't asleep. His eyes opened and he looked at me.

"Yes Feliciano?"

"I'm sorry about earlier." I said apologetically. "I hope I didn't scare you too much."

He looked at me for a second contemplating what I just said. "Why would you need to apologize you were in shock."

"Still…I hope I didn't scare you too much." He sighed giving me one of his rare smiles.

"Sometimes you're an idiot Feliciano." He said exasperatedly I frowned for a second before smiling with him.

We sat in comfortable silence as the sun went down and it got darker and darker in the house. Finally Makayla had fallen asleep and Camilla laid down her head on her bag and closed her eyes. Arthur looked like he had already fell asleep and Ludwig looked like he was just about too as well. So I finally set down my sketchbook and tried to sleep closing my eyes and just letting my mind wander.

I honestly don't remember falling asleep I usually don't, I really don't think anybody remembers falling asleep. Well maybe they do and I'm just ignorant. But I woke to laughter and for a second I thought that Arthur was laughing as I blearily opened my eyes. But when I only found darkness in the room I listened again. There it was again coming from down stairs. I silently got up and made my way to the stairway downstairs. There were lights coming from down there.

"-dude this place is awesome I can't believe nobody has thought to come here before." A guy said and I could smell the alcohol and smoke coming from them and I almost gagged. I almost jumped out of my skin when a hand grabbed my arm. When I turned around though I was meet with Ludwig holding a finger over his mouth. I nodded then motioned to the teens downstairs. He motioned for me to follow him back to the room. I nodded and we made our way back to Camilla and Arthur who were both still sleeping.

Ludwig shook Arthur and when he finally woke up ready to tell him off Ludwig just placed a hand over his mouth and motioned for him to stay quiet. I made my way over to Camilla and did the same except I didn't put my hand over her mouth. I didn't need to she was quiet when she woke up. We meet in the center of the room.

"What's our plan?" Arthur said looking at Makayla who was still sleeping because no one was willing to wake her up and blow our cover.

"Well we obviously can't stay here anymore. We have to leave." Camilla said peering at the staircase where we could still here the teens.

"How are we supposed to sneak past them?" I asked and Arthur shrugged. Suddenly the voices seemed to get closer like….like they were coming up the stairs! I looked wide eyed at Ludwig and we all scrambled grabbing our bags and making sure everything was with us and Camilla quickly grabbed Makayla as we ducked into one of the other rooms nearer to the staircase.

"Hey I wonder what's up here." One of the teens said as they finally made it to the top of the stairs. I panic and pat my pocket making sure I have the note. When I finally feel it I sigh in relief and the teens taking sips of the alcohol they have in their hands. They slip farther along the boy's hallway and Ludwig motions for us to follow him down the steps. We quickly hurry down the steps trying to make as little noise as possible.

Quickly we make our way to the door and can already hear the noises of the teens following our noisy exit down the steps as we finally open the door and run out into the dark night. We take off not even quite sure where we're going but we just kind of run somewhere, anywhere. We don't hear them follow us and after a while we stop running and start to walk. Until I recognize where we are, we were in the park that Camilla, Arthur, and I walked to and watched the meteor shower that one time. Back when I still thought that everything could be solved with kindness and happiness. I still believe that much to my exasperation. I know that everything can't be solved with kindness but I still believe it in my heart.

The park is almost identical to what it was like all those years ago. But the weeds were just a bit more prominent and the equipment a little bit more worn down.

We set up camp in the equipment under a roof. The adrenaline had been keeping me up so far and now as I started to wear off I could feel myself becoming sleepier and my eyelids drooping more and more.

When the first rays of sunshine started to dance across the skies I started to wake up and so did the rest of the group. Which was probably good because I really don't know what someone would do if they found us camping out on the playground equipment. We quietly made our way into the woods next to the park where we stashed our bags and sat for a while as I sketched a face of Romano. That somehow turned out as a picture of how an older Romano would look. I was about to throw the picture down in disgust when I felt a presence behind me. I quickly turned around and came face to face with Ludwig whose cheeks were now tinged pink with embarrassment of being caught.

"Is that? Is that your brother?" He asked quietly and I nodded in compliance. "Do you think you could draw a picture of my brother if I described him too you?"

"Probably, I haven't tried it before" His face fell. No! I didn't mean to make him sad I wanted him to be happy. "But it never hurts to try right?"

His face lite up and started to describe his brother as I sketched out what I thought he looked like from his description and he would sometimes critique me quietly when I didn't draw something right. Finally we ended up with a complete project a boy that looked almost nothing like Ludwig with white hair and red eyes. I thanked him then started to draw Gilbert on a different page as I would think he would look the same age as he would be now.

Tearing them both out I found my way to Camilla who was playing with Makayla and her blocks.

"I have an idea." She looked up from Makayla while Makayla followed her gaze. "We can go ask around seeing if they have seen Romano because we know he was around this area somewhere. So somebody had to see him, right?"

She seemed to ponder the idea for a bit before slightly nodding. "That could work. Except I should probably stay here and watch Makayla so you guys don't stand out to badly among everybody else."

After repeating my plan to Arthur and Ludwig. Arthur decided to stay with Camilla and Ludwig decided to come with me. After saying we decided to head out.

Our first stop was a hotel to see if they had decided to get a room for the night. But we didn't have any luck; our next option was a café or something. Because they probably had something to eat hopefully and that would be one of the easiest places to go for food.

The first café we went to hadn't seen anybody that looked like Romano but on the second one we lucked out.

"Excuse me, sir?" I asked the man behind the counter he looked at me then at Ludwig.

"Yes?"

"We were wondering if you had seen him?" I said holding out the picture of Romano and the guy pondered if for a second before lighting up.

"Yes, I believe so him and a few others came into my restaurant yesterday and asked me about the orphanage. I heard them say that they were going to head out to the new orphanage this morning."

As my brain processed the information I became more and more angry and I could barely make out Ludwig thanking the guy and guiding me out of the restaurant. Finally we stood out of the restaurant and I looked up at Ludwig angrily. I wasn't angry at him not really. I was angry with myself for how close we were! We were so fucking close and I just let him slip through my hands.

"It's not your fault Feliciano, you couldn't have known." Ludwig said putting an arm around my shoulder in comfort. I felt a bit better but I still walked back to the park angrily almost wanting to stomp like a child the whole way there.
