Regardless of what other people thought, Prussia observed his surroundings. He knew almost everything about everyone. And he was probably one of the few people who knew about Italy's dark side. And one of the few people that knew Italy was a boy and Romana was a girl when they were kids. And he started to think Hungary was a girl before she did. And that China was a boy.
Looking back, the countries were terrible at identifying gender.
He saw the way he looked at his sister. He knew his feelings for her. And he saw beneath that warm smile and kind eyes and cheery personality was a burning hatred for Spain. He knew how he wanted to destroy Spain. So it didn't suprise him when he saw Italy grab the knife and smile maliciously into the mirror.
Italy was truly nice and kind. The personality everyone saw was his real self. But when came to his older sister, he was darker, like what Japan called a 'Yandere'. Italy did care really about West. He was just blinded by his love for his sister and his need for revenge that he was ignorant to his feelings for West and how his baby brother felt the same way.
He also knew that he couldn't warn Spain or ask for anybody's help. Nobody would believe him. To them Italy was completely pure and innocent, then again they also thought that Romana was completely and purely bellicose and harsh (except Spain, him, Italy, Japan, Iceland, Hong Kong, America, Canada , Norway, Seborga , Russia and all the female nations. Ok, so there was a lot of nations who knew what Romana was really like...).
He knew that he couldn't stop Italy on his own though.
Italy could truly have been a powerful empire if he had become one with Holy Rome Empire. But he refused the offer, his heart belonging to his unknowing sister. The only reason he went along with him was because HRE was his only option at the time to reuniting with his sister. He knew that Italy developed feelings for him, but was again blinded by his love for Romana.
Italy had single handedly beaten up Turkey, just because he had teased and tried to kidnap his sister.
His sister was everything to him- he knew he really joined the Axis to get revenge on the nations who had jeered and bullied his sister, he manipulated his baby brother. He made those countries pay and nobody was the wiser.
But what he didn't know is that Romana payed too. She had broke her heart over the fact that she betrayed her brother to protect him. He could relate to Romana in a sense. Both of them were the older siblings whom were outshined by their younger siblings, they were the forgotten siblings. It was the same way he could relate to Birdie.
The only way to truly stop him was to break up Spain and Romana- and he couldn't do that. He would never to that to his friend and he would only destroy a relationship if it was truly a terrible match.
Maybe it was because he had been heartbroken before. Had the love of his life, his best friend, stolen from him. Then watched as she was forced to be something she wasn't. Reduced to a maid, forced to be a lady. A once powerful nation had to be meek- just because it was they way things were. Then watched her be forced into marrying a man he knew she didn't love.
Perhaps he could reason with Italy- or trick Belarus intoto thinking that Italy was trying to take Russia from her. He was really leaning towards the second option.
But then again West would unawesomly beat him up for causing Italy harm.
But what could he do? He only had about 45 minutes before Italy literally stabbed Spain in the back.
He needed a plan. He needed to make a phone call with probably the one other country that knew of Italy's dark side that could get here quickly enough and was strong enough.
No offense to Birdie, but he was too polite unless it came to maple syrup and hockey and he probably wouldn't be able to convince him that Italy was threatening either.
"Hey Norway it's the awesome Prussia..."
Sorry it took so long! The holidays were extremely busy and kinda sucked for me, so I has some major writers block and now I back in school, ugh, and have had the flu since Wednesday, so I'm going to have a ton of makeup work.
Angry Rant: On Christmas eve me and my mom get in a huge fight because she wants to take a picture at one in the morning and I lose my composure and snap because I'm tired, it's Christmas Eve, and I hate having my picture taken. I have to listen to my obnoxious oldest cousin moan about still being a virgin, listen to my prejudice and narrow minded mom's side of the family (except for my little cousin and border line for my aunt and grandma, they're better) and keep my cool as my two older cousins mock me. They all gave me socks and a potato ricer. I feel like they didn't even bother to read my list. (My dad's side was better and got me an awesome hoodie, books, art supplies, beautiful heirlooms and souvenirs, gift cards and other things.) I ended up spending New Years Eve with friends and I have no memory of what happened except I had bruises and I think there were fireworks... Anyway, I hope you all had a better experience than me!
Oh and for China, funny story: Before I started to watch Hetalia, a good friend of mine (the wonderful one who introduced me too Hetalia) was showing me pictures of the characters and trying to describe their personalities. So when I saw a picture of China he looked really feminine and, well, I wear my hair similar to China so I just assumed that he was a girl. Plus China acts and looks kinda feminine so a headcanon of mine is that a good amount of countries though China was a girl at first.
The reason I mentioned Russia is thanks to BlackRoseAuthoress. (Please check her out! She's really good! (In my opinion...)) It will become clear for the nations that seem odd on the list later. (I love friendship and platonic Romerica, Romapan and Prumano (though I find them adorable romantically too))
