Sadly the weekend had already ended and it was time to pack up and go back home. Things had just started to get good around here, her and Italy became closer friends and she even made a new friend. Even though he was mean to her sometimes she didn't cry about it, even though she felt like it, sometimes it sucks to be so sensitive. Sometimes she felt as thought Lovino actually hated her, but he talked to her and was nice sometimes. It was like a love-hate relationship as she saw it, but she didn't know how Lovino saw it. Putting the last of her things into her bag she stood up and sighed looking around the room. Even thought it was only about three days she was gonna miss this room, the house, and most of all the boys. This weekend, sadly, had finally came to an end. Her brothers would be waiting for her for when she got home, probably to ask a million questions.
Lovino sat in the living room flipping throw the channels on the TV, Vanessa was leaving to day. Good it was about time was what he wanted to say but deep down he didn't want her to go and he didn't know why. He'd only known her for three days but yet he didn't want her to leave, its not like it was the last time. He didn't want her to know that he didn't want her to go, she might think he was weird or something. When did he start to care about what she thought of him? He rolled his eyes at no one and continued to focus on the TV in front of him. The last thing he needed was her on his mind, he didn't need anyone nor did he want someone. That is if he even felt that way towards her, which he didn't! but we all know that he did feel like that.
Feliciano started the car revving it up as Vanessa throw her bag into the back set and got it hooking up her seat belt. Romano watched from the window as his brother pulled out the drive way and down the road. It didn't take to long to get back to her house, and to her surprise Gilbert wasn't outside waiting for her. Vanessa waved goodbye to Feliciano as he took off again back to his house with his brother. Walking towards the door she turned to knob to find it locked, the only time that happens is if everyone was gone. Luckily she had brought her house key, unlocking the door she stepped inside and closed it behind her locking it again. From the living room out came Midnight to met his master at the door, his tail wagging fast. She smiled bending down petting his head and hugging him.
She stood up straight and headed up stairs with Midnight right behind her, it was time to put things up. First she put her dirty clothes into the hamper then put her bathroom things away. After that the bag was thrown into the closet where it belonged, her room was just how she left it. Midnight laid on the bed taking up about half of it with his huge size, and for his breed it was huge. She had picked him out because of his weird size, Midnight was her birthday present from Ludwig. He took her to a breeder and let her choose the one she wanted, German Shepherds had always been her favorite kind of dog. Kicking off her shoes she sat on the bed with him leaning back, he lifted his head watched her lay down.
It was so weird being in the house alone, normally someone was with her or she was with them. Then again she never told anyone when she would be back just that it was sometime Sunday. Ludwig was probably at a world meeting again and Gilbert was with Antonio and Francis. If so then she would be here by her self for a little while longer, this pleased her a lot. She loved her brother and loved being around them but not for so long, sometimes a girl needs her space and alone time. First thing on her list was to play music loudly while she took a shower then dance around like an idiot. These are all things she could do when it was just her and Gil but with Ludwig it was impossible. After her shower she went down stairs and to the kitchen pulling out a beer and opening the can. The only thing her brother would allow her to do with out protest was drink beer, what kind of german doesn't drink beer? (A/N that kind of german would be me)
As she sipped her drink she danced around the kitchen, living room and the hallways for about an hour till she got tired. Walking back to her room she turned off the radio and smiled to herself, being home alone was awesome. But sadly all good things come to an end eventually, the door down stares unlocked and opened up. From the lack of talking Vanessa knew that it was Ludwig coming home from the meeting, time to let them know she was home. Walking down the steps she met him in the kitchen were he hand a beer in hand leaning on the counter.
"Oh, Vanessa your home, vhen did you get here?" he asked pushing himself off to give his sister a hug,
"About and hour and a half a go" she said hugging him back, for someone who doesn't so affection much he was an amazing hugger.
"Did you have fun at less?"
"Oh yes! I had a lot of fun" she beamed remembering all the things she did while over there. Playing games, walking around town, going to the park, and watching movies, best of all was the pasta she had while there.
"Nether of them idiots said anything they weren't supposed to did they?" he asked, now lying to her brothers was something she hated doing but she didn't want to get Lovino in trouble.
"No, not that I remember of, both of them where pretty good while I was there, Romano mostly sat back and watched while me and Feliciano played games and things"
"Vell thats good at less you didn't have to much of a horrible time, vhile you vhere gone I had to listen to Gilbert pacing every night and him mumbling to himself, I finally got him to go out and stop vorrying so much" both of them let out a sigh, shacking their heads, yes they knew he only meant well but it was kind of annoying sometimes. She didn't worry about him like that cause she knew he could handle himself out there and so could she. He needed to understand that and fast, she didn't plan of living with them her whole life, just until she found the one. He wouldn't like that but he was just going to have to deal with him.
Feliciano parked the car in the drive way and hopped out walking inside to find his brother. It didn't take long he was sitting in the living room watching TV while eating a tomato. He sat down smiling over at his big brother, in return Romano glared at his younger brother. Why the hell was he looking at him like that? Did he have something he wanted to say or just stare at him all day.
"Hey, Romano, what did you think about Vanessa?" the question caught him off guard a little, why did he want to know what Romano thought about his friend. While trying to find the right words to say a light pink blush crossed his cheeks. Turning his head so that Feli wouldn't see he said
"She was alright, better then that potato loving bastard and his damn brother for sure" it was to late, Feli had already seen the blush causing him to smile even more, he had planned to get the two to like each other. One down and one more to go, but what Feli didn't know is that she had already fallen for him. The hardest part of this all was getting Romano to not only accept the fact he liked her but show it. Now that was harder said then done, but with the help of Antonio it could be done little by little. The two went back to watching TV and nether one brought of Vanessa again the rest of the day.
Gilbert had gotten home a little over and hour after Ludwig had, when he saw Vanessa he squeezed her tightly. After letting her go to let her catch her breath he bombarded her with questions about everything that happened. She told him all the things she had done and how much fun she had, even told him about the whole wishing thing.
"Vell vhat did you vish for?" he asked
"Now Gilbert they say if you tell your vish it vont come true so I'm going to keep it a secret" she said placing her finger on her lips in a shushing manner, he frowned but didn't push the matter further.
"Vell now you are back vith the awesome me and thats all that matters, did you miss all this awesomeness, vell of course you did I'm so awesome" he said placing his hands on his hips in a hero like stance, Vanessa let out a giggle and rolled her eyes at him. Yes, she missed him but she'd miss him even more if she had stayed a little longer. Feliciano promised that she could come back anytime she wanted and to just call when she when ever. Since she just got back she figured that she would wait about week then call and ask to stay longer this time.
About four days later, Gilbert and Ludwig went to another party that someone from their meeting was throwing. So, Vanessa just sat on the couch watching NCIS it was one of her favorites shows. Looking around the living room she realized just how many animals they really had here. Ludwig had about four dogs plus Vanessa's dog, then their where three cats that lived here as well. One is a dachshund, another is a golden retriever, another is a german shepherd those three normally stayed outside but not always. The last one her brother had was a dalmatian puppy, he was only about nine weeks old. Then Vanessa's german shepherd made up five of the dogs, who all where sleeping next to each other on the floor beside her.
Then their where the three cats, one belonged to each of the three siblings in the house. One cat was pure white fluffy cat with bright red eyes kind of like Gilbert's eyes it had a scar on the left eye and on on its shoulder. A german flag was tied around its neck but it was a little torn and tattered near the ends. The second one was a deep gray cat with sky blue eyes just like Ludwig, even had his facial expressions. Like the white cat a german flag was tied around his neck, but unlike Gilbert's cat the flag was neat and not torn. Lastly was a light gray cat with the same bright red eyes as the white cat, this one had a scar on her left shoulder. A german flagged bow was tied around the tip of the cats long fluffy tail. These three sat on the back of the couch, their names where Prussia, Germany, and Berlin. It was like that since the cats often resembled their owners a lot, almost identical in personality.
Vanessa reached her hand behind her giving the light gray cat a pet behind the ear earning a purr from her. Said cat got up and jumped into her lap curling up, she smiled still petting the cat in her favorite spot. Out of no where Prussia-cat jumped into her lap laying next to Berlin-cat almost as if shoving her playfully. Vanessa watched the two cats playfully kick and shove the other for her attention. She looked up and to her right when she felt something lean on her shoulder lightly. Germany-cat had half his body on her shoulder and half still on the couch, he just sat there watching the other two. His face was just like her brothers when her and Gilbert use to wrestle around when she was younger.
She rubber her face against the deeper gray cat's face softly then looked back down. The two in her lap seemed to have found where they would stay for now, Prussia-cat on her right side Berlin-cat on her left. Germany-cat curled up by her neck and fell asleep with in seconds, as did the other two in her lap. If she had to choose between a cat or dog, it would be dog but she still liked cats just favored dogs more. She slowly and softly petted the cats as she watched the TV in front of her, it was only around seven to early to sleep. That and she didn't want to move the warm fluff balls off of her, so she simply just sat there watching TV. That is until a knock came from the door, causing all five dogs to left their heads up at it.
She had trained to dogs not to bark unless needed, it was something she had done in her spare time. Even thought Ludwig's dogs where somewhat wild she managed to get them trained as well. Instead of getting up to opened the door she simply just called out from the living room.
"Who is it?"
"Vanessa its me Italy!" a italian accent called back
"Oh, come in then!" she heard the door open then closed and two pairs of footsteps walking her way, two? Who else could be here with Italy, was it Ludwig who came back early? No, way there was gonna be beet there and there was no way he would miss out on that. Just as Feliciano entered the room she knew who was with him at the time, it was non other then Lovino. She smiled at the two
"Kitties!" Feli yelled running over picking up Berlin-cat and holding her close to him, the cat was use to it by now and just let things happen. Germany-cat looked up watching the italian as if to make sure that Berlin-cat was alright. Vanessa looked over at Lovino he was just standing there in the door way leaning on the frame. He looked like here was the last place he wanted to be at.
"Vhy are you guys here? Aren't you guys supposed to be over there having fun or something?" she asked lightly petting the white cats head as it slept in her lap, Feliciano nodded his head
"Si, but things started to-a get a little boring and I didn't want-a you to be alone while we had-a fun" he said almost sadly, now she started to feel a little bad that she caused him to stop having fun. The last thing she wanted was someone to stop doing something just because she couldn't do it too. Her face saddened and she looked down at Prussia-cat
"It's alright I'm use to being here alone while everyone else is having fun, it wouldn't be the first time..."
"No! It's not alright, you should be having fun-a to like the rest of us" Lovino snapped, it took her a little by surprise that he was saying that, since when did he care what she did.
"Romano's right Vanessa, you need to get out and have some fun!" Feliciano jumped up still holding the cat in his arms, all five of the dogs jumped up and made their way toward her. She gave the animals a weird look and looked from Feli to Lovi was this planned or something? Prussia-cat hissed at everyone and curled closer to Vanessa, Germany-cat sat up jumping to the arm chair hissing at him. The two seemed to have a staring fight before Prussia-cat jumped off her lap and sat next to her.
"Vell, I guess you two are right, but vhat kind of fun are you talking about exactly?" a huge beam seemed to take up move of Feliciano's face, he sat the cat down grabbing her hand pulling her up. He dragged her out the room and pushed her to the stairs like he wanted her to go up them. She stopped on the third step looking back confused on what in the world was going on.
"You're coming with us back to the party so go change into something different" Vanessa was only in shorts and a old tee shirt, differently not party worthy clothes.
"But vhat about my brothers"
"Don't worry I already cheeked with them, they thought it was a good idea too, hurry up so we can go!" she nodded and ran up the stairs to her room with her cat not too far behind her. She shut the door and went to her dresser pulling out things that looked good enough for a party. Berlin-cat jumped on the bed laying down watching as her master ran back and forth. Vanessa held up some shirts and pants to the cat, in return she would ether nod or shake her head. Finally they two made the perfect outfit, this was going to be her first party she was excited. For her outfit she had on a semi tight white shirt with short sleeves and a necklace like her brothers. For pants and shoes she wore black skinny jeans with black knee high heeled boots. Her hair was pulled back into a tight and neat bun, with a little bit of eye liner and mascara.
Looking in the mirror she nodded spraying some cotton candy perfume on then walking down stairs. Once she reached the bottom Feliciano and Lovino looked over and bother their eyes widened. Lovino's jaw dropped and Feliciano smiled with him mouth half way opened, guessed they liked what they saw.
"Van! You look so pretty!" He yelled watching as she spun around slowly smiling widely she thanked him and followed them out to the car. She looked so beautiful and stunning that it made Lovino's heart almost drop out when he saw her. Taken her to this party started to seem like a bad idea to Lovino, what if someone tried to hit on her. He couldn't have that, the closer they drew near the party the more he argued with himself. First he cared about what happened then he started not to care what happened he didn't like her enough to truly care, or did he. The three got out the car and walked towards the house with loud blurring music, the closer she got the more nervous she got.
No one really knew about the german girl, yes they had heard Feliciano talk about her but never met her. No one but Kiku, Antonio, Francis, and the Italians knew what she looked like, other then that she was like a ghost. Tonight would be the night she got to met more nations and the nations got to met Vanessa. The door opened and she followed in behind Feliciano, Lovi left them to get a drink from the kitchen. It didn't take long from Gilbert to find them, he link her arm with his and led her to the middle of the party. He stood in the middle smiling with a beer in hand, he was drunk but not totally drunk just yet. Ludwig was standing with Kiku over near a corner where it looked like a kegger was setting.
As Gilbert pulled her throw the crowd people there stared at her like they've never seen a person before. He lead her to the corner and smiled
"Our little sister is here to party!" he yelled over the music, Ludwig nodded and handed her a red plastic cup of beet, she happily took it.
"Try to enjoy yourself" he said into her ear so he didn't have to shout, she nodded and walked away to find her friends. It wasn't long before she ran into Francis who was yelling at some blond guy. He had messy blonde hair and pretty green eyes, but his eye brows reminded her of caterpillars. She ran over and throw her arms around the longer haired man
"Francis!" she yelled he smiled widely and hugged her back
"Oh my dear Vanessa, what are you doing here?" he asked ignoring the other man who was watching the two interacted, it was strange to not see him flirting. And to see that someone was actually wanting to be around the cheesy monkey.
"Brother let me come, for once" she giggled
"Well let me introduce you around then" he pointed to the man beside him "Vanessa this is Britain, Britain this is Germany's little sister Berlin" she smiled and shock his hand
"Hello, you can just call me Vanessa" she yelled so he could hear, he smiled at her and shock her hand back
"It's nice to finally meet you Vanessa just call me Arthur" after meting him Francis took her around the place introducing her to everyone that was there. So far she had met Arthur, Alfred, Ivan, Yao, Matthew, Roderick, Elizabeta, Eduard, Toris, Raivis, Feliks, and Heracles. The whole time she hung out with mostly Elizabeta since she was then only girl there at the party. It turned out that the two had a lot in common with each other becoming close friends almost intently. The two walked out into the back yard where a really big pool in the middle. Both girls stood at the edge looking in, the water was clear, pool lights eliminated the entire thing. Out of no where a whale popped up Elizabeta jumped back slightly grabbing Vanessa's arm.
"I-is that a vahle?" she asked coming back to stand by the other female, who in the hell keeps a whale in their back yard! Where the hell does someone get a whale at anyway?
"I think so..." the whale started to swim around in circles and doing little tricks for the girls. They smiled and giggled, its not every day you see a whale, music was blurring even louder now. Out of no where a hand wrapped around Vanessa's and Elizabeta's shoulder causing them to jump.
"Vhat are you losers doing? The party's inside!" a very drunk Gilbert said slurring on most of his words, he let out a loud laugh pulling the two inside and handing them a drink. Vanessa gulped it down in no time earning a proud smile from her big brother, he handed them about ten drinks before stopping. Elizabeta grabbed Vanessa's hand pulling her to the dance floor and started to dance together. Laughing and giggling they danced with the other as the men stood around watching and cheering them on. The rest of the party seemed to be like a blur to Vanessa, all she remembered was waking up on a couch with Elizabeta on the other end. Gilbert was on the floor next to them with Ludwig.
She tried to sit up grabbing her head in pain, maybe she shouldn't of drank as much as she did. Looking around people where laying everywhere and it was a huge mess, thank god she didn't have to clean it. Pulling out her phone it was about eight in the morning, she ground and fell back putting her hand over her eyes. They snapped back open when a hand was wrapped around her waist pulling her closer. She turned her head only inches away from the eldest italian brother, when the hell did he get there? She tried to slowly work her way out of his grip but it was tight around her, the only other way was to wake him. He looked so peaceful and adorable while sleeping, she didn't want to disturb that. Sighing in defeat she just curled up in his arms and closed her eyes in hopes that he would wake up on his own.
Honey brown eyes slowly made there way open only feel a warmth against his body. Looking down his eyes widened, Vanessa was fast asleep in his arms her head was resting on his chest. A bright red blush pierced his cheeks, all he remembered from last night was that she had gotten drunk. Then she started to dance with Elizabate, after that some of the guys around where flirting with her. Before anything bad could happen, Lovino dragged her away and sat her on the couch. He sat next to her forcing her to stay down, she didn't seem to like that but he didn't care. After a few minutes she ended up giving in and laid her head on his shoulder. After that it was a blur to him too, he pulled his arms away from her and slowly backed up and crawled over her. Making sure he didn't step on anyone he stood up straight and looked around for his fratello.
Vanessa's eyes opened when the warm felling left and was replaced by the cold air. Rolling over on her side her eyes looked around meeting those beautiful brown ones. The pain in her head was still there but she ignored it and sat up rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When she looked back up at him he was blushing hard, he turned his head and walked away.
