A/N: Hi guys! This is chapter 8!

I don't own Hetalia.

"I… you were right. I don't think I love Francis. I think I love Ludwig."

Lovino stared at his sister, shaking his head slightly. "Well, I don't know what you expect me to do. Not to be a dick, but they're your problems, and I can't fix them for you."

Feliciana nodded. "I know that, but I just needed to tell someone, I guess…"

Lovino hummed in response and stood up to get something from the fridge. Feliciana put all her books and homework away as Lovino pulled out a tomato. "I'm gonna go for a walk!" Feliciana said as she zipped up her backpack.

"Whatever." Lovino said, sitting at the table and pulling out his own homework. Feliciana pulled on her sweatshirt, grabbed her phone, and headed out. She decided to head over Ludwig's house to talk to him. Oddly enough, she'd rather talk to her crush about her crush than a friend. She looked up to the sky and saw dark clouds forming.

'Oh well,' she thought, plugging in earbuds to her phone and starting music. The walk to Ludwig's house was not a very long one, and she was there in no time. Feliciana knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Gilbert opened the door and grinned at the sight of Feliciana.

"Hallo, Feli… You came to see Ludwig, ja?"

"Um… Si. Is he home?"

"Ja, ja. Come inside, won't you?" He said, making room for her to walk through the doorway. She stepped into the hallway and immediately heard the sound of blasting rock music coming from the basement.

"You like the tunes?" Gilbert asked.

"Um, yes. Very… loud," Feliciana lied. She much preferred softer, gentler music.

"Kesesese… I'll get Luddy?"

"Please, thank you!" Feliciana said, remembering why she came over. Gilbert nodded and ran up the stairs. Not even five minutes later, Ludwig walked down the stairs. He saw Feliciana sitting there and a light blush spread across his cheeks.

"H-hallo, Feli," he said.

"Ciao, Luddy!" Feliciana said, smiling to him.

"What brings you here?" Ludwig asked, regaining himself.

"Well, I'm not actually sure. I just wanted to say hi."

"Oh. Hi," he said, sitting down on the couch. "Do you want anything to drink?" Ludwig asked, not wanting to seem like a bad host to his guest.

"Oh, no thank you. I'm good."

"Alright," he said, sitting back.

"Um, okay…I think I should say that I didn't actually just come over to say hi…"

"Okay, go on."

"Well, um, I came here because… I want to talk to you about… friend stuff."

"Friend stuff?"

"Yeah. Friends tell each other everything, so I need to talk to you."

"Alright. Go ahead, I'm all ears."

"Okay, well… the other day, when you came over, you know, when we kissed," Ludwig blushed at this certain memory. "I realized something. I realized that I may be dating Francis, but I think I like you instead."

Ludwig took a moment to let all the information in. "You… like me?" Feliciana nodded. "And you like me still even though you're dating Francis?" Feliciana nodded again. "Well, Feli, I like you too."

"Really?"

"Ja." Feliciana allowed herself to smile the slightest. "So," Ludwig continued. "What are you going to do?"

"I think I'll talk to Francis. He seems to know a lot about love, so hopefully he will understand." She concluded. Just as Ludwig was about to say something in return, thunder cracked. Feliciana jumped in surprise, and clung to a couch pillow.

"Feli, relax. It was just thunder."

"I hate thunder, though!" she wailed. All of a sudden, the lights went out. "Oh no…" she said more to herself than Ludwig. "Luddy, the lights went out! It's so dark! We're all gonna die!" Feliciana cried, grabbing hold of Ludwig's shoulders.

"Feli, calm down. It's just a power outage. The lights will be back on, just relax." He assured her.

"Okay…" She said, bringing her knees to her chin and holding them in place with her arms. Ludwig had just thought he had gotten Feliciana to calm down a little, but something of course had to ruin that.

Loud thumps, almost like large and heavy footsteps could be heard from upstairs. The sound of the pattern came closer until it sounded as though the footsteps were right behind them. Although it was dark, Ludwig could clearly see Feliciana's face had turned pale.

"Feli, relax, it's probably just-"

"The awesome me, of course!" Said no other than Gilbert, who stood right behind the couch they were sitting on.

"Mein Gott, Gilbert! You nearly scared Feli to death!" Ludwig yelled. Gilbert smirked.

"Oh, did I? I'm so sorry I almost killed your girlfriend with my awesomeness!" He yelled. Ludwig's face turned a dark red.

"Gilbert, you know very well she is not my girlfriend." he said sternly.

"Yeah, yeah…" the older brother said while wandering off into the kitchen.

About an hour later of more scaring on Feliciana's behalf, the power was restored. As the young Italian made her way home, she made a mental note to talk to Francis tomorrow.

Feliciana exited the school building that Wednesday, eager to speak to Francis. She had told him to meet her at the front gate of the school's entry once classes were dismissed for the day. She paced anxiously, and when she spotted Francis walking her way, she put on a brave face and walked up to him.

"You wanted to talk, oui?" Francis asked.

"Si… I need some advice."

"I'm all ears. Go on," he said, taking her hand.

"Look, you're a great person, but I think I love someone else…" Francis perked up.

"May I ask who~?" he said, smirking. Feliciana blushed.

"Um… you won't be mad?"

"Why would I? It's not like you can choose who you fall in love with."

"Well, the person I love is Ludwig."

At first, Francis didn't say anything. When he did, he chuckled at first. "Took you that long to realize it."

"Wait… what?"

"Feli, dear, I can see the way you guys act around each other. The way you talk to him, the way he responds. Even the little glances you two make when the other isn't looking."

"Wow, Francis, you really are smart when it comes to love. Thank you,"

"Anytime, Feli. Now, go on, talk to Ludwig."

Feliciana laughed a bit and blushed. "Thanks, Francis."
