Chapter 7
As Alexander held Italy to his chest as the Italian clutched his face bawling his eyes out, he couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between him and Germany was. "It hurts Alexander. *sniffle* *hic*." said the bawling Italy. "I know Italy its okay he can't hurt you now, "said Alexander as he tried to comfort Italy. As Italy let his hand fall from his face he said," I am so glad you are with me again Alexander I missed you." Alexander looked at the face of the Italian and noticed that his cheek was starting to swell up from the punch. "Italy," he said, "Your cheek is starting to swell up." Italy brought his hand up to his face again and gasped from the pain. "Why don't we go to my house I may have something to help with the swelling." offered Alexander. Italy slowly nodded and allowed himself to be led to his car while Alexander started the ignition and the two headed to Alexander's house.
Germany was quiet throughout the rest of the meeting yet he was desperate to leave so he could apologize to Italy. When America said," That's all for today you guys can leave now." Germany was the first one out the door and was about to leave until Prussia and Japan caught up with him. "West," said Prussia, "What do you plan on doing?" Germany looked at him in annoyance and said," I am going to apologize to Italy." Japan then spoke up saying," Germany- san I think it would be wise to leave Itary alone right now, after what you did he will only be afraid of you." Germany sighed and said," You're right Japan I will look for him later." Japan sighed and said," Germany-san why don't you come with me to my home I believe a dip in the hot spring will help you relax." Prussia said," Yeah West you should go chillax while the awesome me stays with mein birdie." Germany sighed and said," I guess you two are right, okay Japan hop in and I'll take us to your house." Japan nodded slightly and climbed into the passenger seat and they headed to Japan's house.
Italy was still crying quite a bit while Alexander drove the car to his house. Alexander mostly concentrated on driving until he saw a turn off to a pizza joint on the next exit he turned to Italy and asked," Are you hungry Italy? Do you want pizza?" Italy smiled a little and nodded. After the sat down and ordered their pizza Alexander asked," Are you okay Italy do you need anything?" Italy looked at him with a weak smile and said," My cheek just really hurts." Alexander gave him a worried look and when the waitress came back with their pizzas he said," Actually can we get these to go?" The waitress nodded and went to go get takeout boxes while Italy gave Alexander a confused look. "If your cheek really hurts we need to give you some medicine so let's just take the pizza to my house. Italy gave a nod and a grateful look and once they got their pizza they continued to Alexander's house.
As Germany and Japan sat quietly by Japan's kotatsu table as Japan served them tea Japan noticed that Germany looked restless clearly nothing but Italy on his mind while he drank his tea. Japan then spoke up saying," Germany-san you may help yourself to the hot springs if you wish." "Thank you Japan,"came the reply. Germany sat in the hot spring still thinking of reasons why he suddenly punched Italy. He didn't know what he did it but he knew he meant to do it. As Germany tried to relax in the hot springs, Japan was reading a newspaper while sipping tea and eating rice balls. He read from new manga sales to new anime series premieres but on the next page was an international wanted list and it read: "WANTED, Tall Blonde Male with Blue Eyes wanted for third degree murder and manslaughter last seen in the Austro-Hungarian nations. And beside the wanted list was a picture and it was of Alexander! "GERMANY-SAN! COME QUICK!" Germany heard the scream and knew something was wrong because Japan never screamed like that! Germany charged out of the hot spring making sure to grab a Yukata on his way out remembering Japan's shy nature. "Japan, what's wrong?!" asked Germany. Japan looked like he saw a ghost and with a quivering voice he said, "Look at this!" Germany quickly read the article and turned as pale as Japan was, as he pulled on his clothes Germany said,"Japan get your sword and hurry we need to find Italy NOW!" Japan hurried to get his things and they sped off in Germany's car to look for Italy.
As Alexander parked the car in his driveway he handed Italy the key and told him to go ahead and go inside while he got their pizzas. Italy made his way up to the house and unlocked the door. He went inside and found that Alexander's house was beautiful there were chandeliers hanging on the ceiling and so many beautiful paintings on the walls. As Italy gazed in wonder of the paintings he noticed that Alexander was struggling to get the door open with the pizzas in his hand. Laughing Italy opened the door and said," Your house is so pretty Alexander!" Alexander put the pizzas down on his dining room table and said," I'm glad you think so the rent on this place is massive!" Italy laughed and said," Where are your plates?" Alexander said, "I think they're in the basement let's go look." Alexander opened the basement door and motioned for Italy to step through first and following after him they made their way down the stairs and little did Italy know that Alexander locked the door. "So, "asked the Italian, "Where are the plates?" Alexander smiled and said, "There are no plates you idiot!" Italy was taken aback and asked with a shaky voice,"Wh-What d-do you m-mean?" Alexander let out an evil laugh and said," Oh, poor stupid Italy you really don't know anything do you? There never was an Alexander or a Holy Rome I lied you fool!" Italy was terrified and asked, "What do you mean?!" Alexander smiled and said, "I really hate Italians! They are the reason that I can never have a steady relationship!" So I decided to kill them so I can actually have a good relationship! But I knew that it wouldn't be enough to kill just random Italian one by one so I decided to get to the country itself, You! And now you are trapped here!" Italy was terrified and said," What about you claiming you were Holy Rome?" Alexander replied with a sinister smile and said, "I couldn't just walk up to you and try to kill you! So I did my research and once I heard about your relationship with Holy Rome I just played it off like I was him. And now that I have you Italy will crumble to the ground!" And quick as a flash he hit Italy over the head with a shovel and knocked the Italian out with a sinister and evil laugh. Alexander then went back up the stairs and got ready for the best day of his life little did he know there was one flaw in his plan, Germany.
