So Li Xiao spilled out something that is quite worrysome…harsh, right? Maybe not.

/= [DAY 66] =/

As Charice escaped the realm, she saw the horrified face of Francis (who obviously saw everything). She looked to Ludwig, whose shock was blankly placed at his empty arms. He looked up and saw the body of the man he loved sleeping peacefully on top of the daisies, as if he wasn't dead or had his heart carved out. He walked over to him and knelt over his body, still feeling nothing.

"You're not going to be alone anymore…" He whispered in his ear. "I'll find you, Italia…I'll find you…and I'm not letting you go anymore."

They stood in the background as he cradled the body before walking away one by one, knowing that they couldn't handle seeing this anymore. Lovino seemed to be on the verge of crying, and was the first person out. Charice was about to leave when she realized that Kiku had stayed behind, staring at the German who wasn't saying anything.

"The three of us were inseparable…"

"Hah?"

"During the war, we were all allies. He trained the two of us to be the warriors that we are now." Kiku's eyes drooped. "The two of them were inseparable, and I believe that Doitsu enjoyed his company even before he remembered their past."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did." Charice laughed softly. "I mean, I've only seen them for a couple of months and I already knew how deeply connected they were."

"Yes…and it was as if they were the only ones who didn't see it."

"Well, that's how dense all people are when they're in love. They really don't see anything that's so bluntly obvious in front of them!"

Kiku could only sigh and force out a small chuckle as Ludwig finally rose from his position, Feliciano's body resting peacefully on the daisies, and turned to leave the room. He gave a look to Kiku, and Charice couldn't help but notice that it looked like that of someone in pain, before leaving the room in silence.

…

"Whoa whoa WHOA! We're just gonna leave the body over here like this like it's no big deal now?" Charice started spazzing. "Come on, I know you can't handle seeing him anymore, but this is just getting a little creepy, don't you think? Hey? HEY!"

"If what Li Xiao said is correct, Feliciano's body does not need a burial." Kiku stated. "Countries that fade from existence leave both mind and body. He will dissipate like he was salt in water."

"…O…K…" She pointed at him. "L-let me just seal off the process right now so that way we can see if he dissipates or not."

Kiku nodded as Charice walked forward and found herself caressing Feliciano's hair. She couldn't help but see what attracted Ludwig to him both as himself and Heilrich: he looked so innocent when he was asleep…even though he wasn't technically asleep, but…yeah. She turned around to see the Japanese man looking down at the both of them with sad eyes.

"So I guess we wait until tomorrow then." She sighed and tried really hard to smile for him. "See if anything happens…"

"…hai." Kiku's eyes drooped. "Wait…"

"Yeah, I don't like the sound of that either…but we're gonna have to. We can't rush anything." Charice rubbed the back of her head. "I mean, I want an immediate answer, but I can't really force it out-"

"GAH!"

"GYAAAAAAAAAA!" She turned her head around. "KYAAAAAAAAAA!"

"VEEEEEE~!"

Kiku paused to let it all sink in. Feliciano, against all odds, have come back to life. Not only that, but Charice was now strangling away what little life he might've had left. Once that clicked in his mind, he quickly pried her off.

"Let him breathe, Charice!"

"Eh? Breathe, what? GYAAAA! Feli-chaaan!" She started to cuddle him. "My baby, my poor, poor baby, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"

"Ve…i-it's OK…" He snuggled. "Am…am I alive?"

"…I feel alive. I think you must be too." Charice looked up. "Unless we're in the Twilight Zone."

"VEE~!"

"I was joking, I was joking!" She laughed. "Well, at least we got all the worrying out of the way!" Damn, Li Xiao…don't tell me you were lying about the odds of him coming back too…

"Well, we should tell the others about the good news." Kiku smiled. "I'll go tell them."

"We'll go tell them. They're all swarming back at the dorms, most likely. I mean, it's already seven!" Charice blinked. Seven? Really? Wow. "Feli-chan, you need help to stand?"

"No, I'll be fine…" Feliciano smiled. "I'll…I'll go find Doitsu…"

"You sure?"

"Yes…I want him to find me…"

"Uh…OK. Me and Kiku will get the rest." Charice stood up. "All right?"

"Yeah…thank you."

/=+=/

OK, to elaborate what I asked last chapter: the Rizal rewrite will be a separate story from this one. And everyone's been requesting Gilbert and Antonio's world, so that's in reserve. Is there anything else that you want me to do? Social Link episodes are in too, cause I'm so redoing the Halloween Arc :D

And sorry for the short chapter. The titles for 57-59 are all lyrics for a country song that I think fits really well with the Holy Roman Empire arc, so I hope you deal with me.

And like all fanfiction I write, expect the fluffiest GerIta you've ever read next chapter.
