*Dances in stupidly like in Wonderful Japan*
Whooo~~~Red Aurestium,ONCE AGAIN! I took some good thinktime to continue this story,and it may or may not go the way you guys intend. Abubuuuusorryyyy ;_;
For anyone who thinks that it's odd that Brittainia Angel is a separate entity from England,GOMEN! I kinda like it that way...and I will keep it that way as throughout the story! This is because I think the poor HRE needs someone to help him in this crazy world. He may go away as the story progresses,so yeah...
Second,I follow the implication that Austria and Prussia lives in Germany's mansion! HELLA
And also,apologies for those who truly love to picture HRE = Germany. This was done in my HRE =/= Germany days x'D
Wo-wo-wo-Wonderful,Nippon! *Dances off and shoots self*

Chapter 2: Not You~Hell No
"...Who are you...exactly?" Germany questioned,folding his arms. Who's this strange person,and why on Earth does Italy,of all people,know him? He had a bad feeling.
Holy Rome eyed Germany. He looked like himself in so many ways...and now he began to question himself if he was right in the head. He let go of the lively Italy and adjusted his hat that shifted slightly to the right.
"I," he began," am the Holy Roman Empire,and was a nation of multi-ethnic complex of territories of Central Europe,the core and largest territory being Germany. And before you ask,yes,I know Italy,and it has been a truly long time since I met he..I mean him." He internally gave out a sigh of relief;this Italy isn't a woman as he thought,so...cross-dresser?
"The largest territory being Germany? Interesting! You never told us,da~?" Russia spoke,turning to look at Germany. The latter just kept silent,only saying "I wasn't present at that time."
"Hohoho~" France began. "So you weren't dead as the world thought,Monsieur Holy Rome? What a surprise...~" The irritating accent of France got to Holy Rome,and he was so close to taking out his sword (which was surprisingly still with him) and just stabbing France right in the face for what he had done.
"As you can see,I'm not. Now excuse me,I'm bringing Italy-"
"The meeting's ended anyways." Japan interjected out of politeness. "Well,it did sometime ago,thanks to the two..." he trailed off,looking at France and England,who seemed to be getting ready for yet another argument.
"Awesome! Let's go for...Hamburgers!" chimed America,as he skipped out the room.
One by one,the other nations said their byes and took their leave,until only Germany,Italy and Holy Rome were left. As soon as China walked out the door, Germany took his phone and dialled his lazy brother. This was definitely going to catch the attention of Prussia-surely he knew something about this.
"Guten Tag,Bruder" Germany began. "There's someone that I'm bringing over to our house. Someone...interesting. Maybe. Goodbye." He heard piano sounds in the background,which meant Prussia was going to disturb Austria once again.
"Bruder?" Holy Rome said quizzically. "And exactly where are we going?" when Germany briskly went out the door.
"My home of course. Italy,come along already. And stop glomping him,mein gott." when Italy refused to let go of Holy Rome.
"It's okay...because we do have a lot to catch up on,right?" Holy Rome smiled at Italy.
"Si!"
Germany just huffed and went ahead faster.
(A/N :What is this entire part above even? Probably because this was made spontaneously D:)
"Well,"Germany announced,"Here we are,my humble home."
Holy Rome wondered if Germany was being sarcastic with his words,or he was truly sincere. Because the mansion in front of him was something he could only dream of. With it's large front yard,and great acre of mysterious forest behind it,the mansion was beckoning him to come closer.
Why does it seem so familiar…
He was still in a daze when the overly eager Italy pulled him out of the car,sending the poor Holy Rome yelping and falling onto the ground. Italy realised his error and eeped,before quickly helping him up and brushing the dirt off the back of his cloak.
"Ve~how is it,Holy Rome?" Italy chirped. "When I go for meetings or just to visit,I always stay at Germany's house. It's really cool!" He grabbed Holy Rome's hand and began to walk faster. "But this time,there's you~it's going to be fun playing with you again!"
"U-uh…yes."
What Italy didn't notice,however,is Holy Rome blushing at the feel of his hand in Italy's.
He seems so carefree like this...and the fact that I've always wanted to hold his hand..thank the heavens no one isn't seeing my face right now...
As the three of them went closer,he picked up the faint melody of a piano being played,calming him greatly. It was a melody he had heard countless times before,as if it was played by an experienced hand,a rhythm that was repeatedly done,yet still contained its beauty. Nevertheless,it made him smile,and the three of them reached the porch step of the mansion.
Germany had only removed the house keys from his pocket when the melody of the piano was interrupted by someone banging the lower keys,making someone shout 'Scheiβe!'. This was followed by a woman screaming "Prussia!".
"Oh gott…not again…"Germany sighed. "The both of you,I advise you stay clear of the door before it gets on your face."
"Wait,Prus-"Holy Rome didn't get to finish his sentence when the (seemingly unlocked) door burst open,revealing an albino in a military suit letting out a series of 'kesese''s( Does this even make sense). However,he stopped in his tracks when he saw the three of them standing outside,particularly a grumbling Germany.
"Oh hey you're back!" Prussia said. "Come on,the awesome Prussia's gotta get out of Hungary's way before-oh mein Gott." He locked eyes with a Holy Rome who raised an eyebrow.
"W-west." Prussia stammered. "Is this r-real?! Oh MY GOD! HOLY ROME!" the retired wasted no time in hugging Holy Rome tightly,said nation getting squeezed tightly and holding his breath. Hungary,who was initially hell-bent on smacking Prussia,immediately squee'd in delight when she saw Holy Rome.
"Ack-ok ok I NEED TO BREATHE-"
"I can't believe it! You're really back!" Hungary clasped her hands in happiness and looked at everyone. "What are you all doing outside? Come in already! I need to tell Austria about this!" Before she turned,however,she shot a glare at Prussia,which meant 'I'll deal with you later', before hurrying in while calling out Austria's name.
"…Well? Aren't you three going in?" Germany said.
"Ja,ja,West. This is so freaking awesome! I get to teach Holy Rome to be awesome again! But not as awesome as me,of course. Kesesese!" He laughed,prancing in.
"Ve~this really needs to be celebrated! Right,Germany?" Italy happily dragged Germany in,who did nothing to stop the Italian from practically pulling off his arm.
"Ja,ja…" he sighed.
Holy Rome sighed to himself as he watched the three of them enter,leaving him a few moments to think.
I didn't know I was missed so much…perhaps it was smart of me to have made this choice. I get to see Italy again…even of it wasn't who I thought it is. He snickered to himself.
Yes,yes,what a happy ending. Another voice said,and Holy Rome facepalmed. He had completely forgotten about the angel. But…I think we both know what's going to happen-
That's for later,caterpillars. Stop frowning and being a spoilsport for once,seesh.
Austria looked pleased when he entered the room where everyone else was. Italy had announced that he would be making pasta and wurst with Hungary to celebrate,and no one could stop him before he ran to the kitchen to take the ingredients. Well,it would probably make a good lunch before going on with plans later.
He took the cup of tea that was poured from him,and went to the comfy single seat to shoo Prussia away,who was gleefully holding a beer and telling Germany and Holy Rome of the prank he pulled on the other nations. Prussia huffed,but eventually got up and slinked onto the sofa spot beside Germany,who gave a face of slight disdain.
"Honestly,this was one of the best surprises that I've ever received. I didn't expect this at all,you know. In all honesty…many believed that you were lost on the battlefield of the Thirty Years' War. But it's proven wrong,it seems." Austria took a sip of his tea before placing it on the saucer. "You're very much alive,and even more curiously,your existence and growth,despite the abolishment of your state.
Holy Rome knew what he meant. When a country was abolished,their existence also ceases. But how was he to tell that a weird fairy granted his wish of coming back and turning him into an adult? That has to wait.
"You seem to have ended up like Prussia,it because his territory is claimed by other nations."
"You know…you make it sound like I'm a ghost who can't rest in peace because his head isn't with him. The awesome Prussia is still here." Prussia said,before muttering to himself about something related to the Kaliningrad Oblast.
"Anyway…the good thing is that you're here,well and in one piece. Though we should quickly get you used to the modern world…that is,you don't know much about it,do you?"
Holy Rome shook his head. "So many things ,I do admit it's strange how I've grown despite the circumstances. I'll eventually understand things around me,and probably find out the reasons for my growth. There isn't any hurry Austria. You know we have lots of time." He took a sip of his own tea and looked at the laid-back Prussia. "Even after so long…bruder hasn't changed one bit,hasn't he? Still trying to prove his 'awesomeness'..."he smiled.
The word caught Germany's attention,and he looked at Holy Rome curiously. "Bruder? Would you care to explain,please?"
"Hmm? I am Prussia's younger brother. Don't you know that?"
Prussia froze. He had completely forgotten about it. Oh Crap.
Holy Rome immediately sensed Prussia's discomfort and eyed him,adding,"Bruder? Who exactly is Germany? And what is your relationship with him?"
"And what have you been keeping from me exactly?" Germany folded his arms.
"H-hold on,West,I can explain. Um…to keep it short-"
"NEIN!"
"NO!"
Austria wondered whether to call it comical or a soon-to-be disaster when both of the supposed brothers were on Prussia,with the Holy Roman Empire holding down Prussia on the floor and Germany choking him. The retired nation was shouting,but not with threats from Germany that he would break his neck.
"Ah-ACK! COME ON! WEST,HOLY ROME,CHILL! I'LL EXPLAIN MEIN GOTT! THE AWESOME PRUSSIA WILL EXPLAIN!"
Only then did the two of him let go,allowing Prussia to get back onto the sofa.
"Look,West…"Prussia began,massaging his throat. "When Holy Rome was announced dead and lost in the battlefield,it was a devastating hit on our part. I couldn't really take it at the time…like depression of some sort. Around a year later,when I took a walk at the battlefield, I kind of found you there…"
"You were just wandering around all the stuff. I thought you were Holy Rome,so I just ran over and…yeah,just hugged you. You got surprised. Heheh." Prussia snickered.
"But…um…you kept correcting me and called yourself Germany whenever I said you were Holy Rome. I did feel disappointed,thinking you suffered amnesia and you were adamant on calling yourself that,so I went with it anyway. You looked way too similar to Holy Rome and I decided to take you in. But since you both were under me,you both are technically brothers. Well,that's it."
Prussia trailed off,trying to look away from the both of them.
Germany didn't know what to feel-be happy that the empire he looked up to-second to the Roman Empire-was his brother,or slightly worried,because it meant the both of them were going to fight for Italy-
No! Just friends dammit! Best friends,nothing more! He tried to shake the thoughts off from his head.
He looked up,to find Holy Rome stealing a glance at him,possibly thinking the same thing.
"Well then." Austria spoke up,seemingly forgotten during the fiasco. "Before this escalates into a nightmare,I suggest we all have Italy's pasta before we bring Holy Rome around and get some attire for him. He isn't going to walk around with that everyday."
"Ve~did someone say my name?" Italy called out from the kitchen. "The pasta's still cooking,hold on!"
"Take your time. And clean the kitchen too!" Germany reminded. "So who will bring Holy Rome out later?"
"That will be decided after we eat. I'm sure Italy is more than eager to do so." Austria got up from his seat,taking the cup as he did so. "I will be playing the piano if you need me."
"Yeah,continue banging that piano. Kesese." Prussia grabbed his beer and went to his room,the expression on his face that of a child planning something evil,leaving the two brothers.
Germany started to walk to the stairs,but was stopped by Holy Rome's hand on his shoulder.
"Yes?"
"…You are close to Italy,aren't you?" He asked,a very tiny hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Well,he wanted to from the very first World War…"Germany recounted,the memory still clear. "He didn't really care that he was captured by me,but he was actually more than happy to be my friend. It was really strange but…I think it's ok." He smiled a bit.
"I know what you are thinking,Holy Rome. When you said at the conference room that you knew him for a very long time."
"Well,that makes it simpler,nein?" Holy Rome looked at Germany right in the eye,envy now obvious to the latter. They both knew what it meant.
"I'm the one for Italy." The both of them said in unison.
JENG JENG JENG! IT BEGINS!
I am so very sorry to be posting this off schedule. I really felt lazy to continue it,but I felt so darn guilty. Feel free to shoot me,oh my God.
ONCE AGAIN,I SCREWED UP HISTORY! I really didn't want to check whether HRE was under Prussia at any point of time,because as I said,I didn't want this to follow historical facts completely. So I hope no one flames me for not conforming to history ;_;
Secondly,SCREW ACCENTS! I am not really familiar with them,and so,if you spot any accent mistakes,FEEL FREE TO KILL ME! From time to time I may forget to write in the way they would talk (like Germany's nein,that;s the only thing I probably know),do remind me.
Lastly,I'm sorry for Prussia trailing off! I'm sure he isn't like that in anyway,I just tried to make him feel guilty. Haha.
As I'm writing this,Spice by Len is playing,because…reasons…heheh. But anyway,I apologise very much for my lateness,and I hope that the length of crap fills in for it. As always,review it,and thank you! ԅ(‾⌣‾ԅ) ੭•̀ω•́)੭✩⁺˚ (`･ω･´)ゞ
