At a serene beach with the whitest sand and the bluest waters, breeze soft and welcoming and sun bright but not glaring. The nations were having a small retreat as if they still had any country work left to do. The miscellaneous papers they signed were no longer needed and there wasn't any point left to even have monthly meetings but it was decided unanimously to continue meeting up once a month in a location they would vote on just to keep in touch with good friends.
"In 5...4...3...2..." Hungary, manning the camera nodded silently.
"Ciao!" Feli waved his hand and pulled his brother closer to him. Lovi gave a shy, tough-guy smile. He was far used to being the one behind the camera than in front of it.
The older Italian was wearing an olive, burn-out, tank and white cargo pants. He was respectably ripped, arms full from carrying a heavy camera around his shoots though he had a lean stomach from mixed martial arts night with his former DECK teammates, including Feli.
The younger one wore something classier. The taller Italian had a collared, pinstriped short sleeve and above-the-knee shorts. His shirt was opened all the way, showcasing his wonderful six-pack and his warm, brown treasure trail. He too looked bigger up close, really putting in some effort since Sadik's been putting him through his workout and then there's the cuddle-wrestles.
But both their foundations were from the years training and working for DECK.
"Okay...so we have some questions people have been meaning to ask." The woman fixed the tripod to get the paper she scribbled the question on.
"Could I ask who's the bastard who wants to know? And how did they contact you?" Lovino questioned, more honestly skeptical of all this while his brother remained skeptical only from within.
"S-some guy I met at the grocery." Liz faltered. She had the power to break the fourth wall.
"TheDarknessofHeaven23 wants to ask—" the hot-headed Italian cut in.
"That's not a name a person has in real life. You're pulling on my leg, Liz." The man turned around and started to walk back to the resort. "I'm gonna get a drink with Lu."
"Wait, fratello, can't we just hang out a bit..." His younger, taller brother grimaced softly, catching up to him. "We haven't been seeing each other in a while." He said softly, hands comfortingly rubbing his arms.
"Fine." Lovi could never say no to his brother. He didn't particularly raised him like Matthias or Gilbert or Al, to some extent, but he'd do anything for him. They went back to the woman in her best summer dress. She was probably gonna mingle with Kiku and Mei later.
The older Italian cleared his throat and tapped his foot impatiently. "Well?"
"You are so rude." The woman said half-heartedly, going back to the piece of paper. "For Veneziano..."
Feli peeped, eyes already gleaming.
"1. How do you feel about Holy Rome up until now?"
"Oh, you mean Luddy, right?" The Hungarian shrugged, not sure about the connectio—oh shit. Ludwig is HRE. What the hell? She only got it know? She looked shock and started to slap herself.
"A-are you okay, Liz?" The younger Italian asked worriedly.
With hair disheveled and cheeks puffy, she smiled and waved it off. "I am perfectly fine. Please answer the question."
"Alright." He sighed. "So, today we're still pretty much best friends." He smiled. "After the Second World War, I kinda figured out that he was the boy I met before. I only noticed it then because he had the same tick he had when he was younger."
"And what tick is that?"
"Nervous nail-biting." He laughed. "That and Gilbert left me a letter about the whole truth."
"You two were...dare I say it, lovers back then right?" She asked reluctantly.
"Well, yes, but after a while we both realized that we didn't see each other that way." Feli shrugged. "It didn't mean we stopped caring for one another. We're just lucky enough to have boyfriends who're best friends too, so we meet quite often."
"Okay...that's a good answer. Um..." Liz glanced at her copy.
"2. What is your initial reaction when you found out Holy Rome was no more?"
The Italian thought of that for a while. "Sad. Heartbroken. I remember locking myself in the room. Feeling alone. You know, regular sad me." He laughed.
"For Romano: 1. How did you get hooked up with Belgium?" Liz grinned and Lovi blushed redder than a tomato.
"Not any of your fucking business!" He snarled, stomping on the sand loudly for some reason.
"I'll answer that..." A feminine voice came from the crashing waves. It was Izzy with her perfect pear-shaped body wet from the weathers, boobs bouncing as she ran towards them.
"That's my girl!" Romano smiled happily, running towards her and lifting her in the air as she giggled. When she was put down, he made sure to peck her on the forehead.
"Anyway, we just decided to hand out and he asked me out on a date and that's it." The Belgian answered fast, much to her friend's disappointment.
"That was rather unsweet." That let a bad taste in Liz's mouth, sounding just like Prussia.
"Well it's a story for some other time." She smiled.
(A/N: I'll be making a story for all my couples some day. Just not now with college and all.)
"Can we get on with it? I still have to take my girlfriend out on a date." Romano grinned as he continued to go down her neck with loving kisses. He then glanced at his brother who smiled sadly.
"And mio fratello." He smiled, sliding his hand to hold his younger brother's. Feli looked surprise before slowly turning into a grateful smile. Love only chuckled, pulling his brother closer with his arm draped over his shoulder, smile widening like his brother's.
"That's it." The Hungarian said.
"What's it?" Lovi asked, brows crunched in confusion.
"It's a request: try to make a genuine, happy smile like your brother does." The girl smiled.
"Now that's..." He was about to heat up again before sighing deeply. "Whatever." He blushed.
(A/N: questions are always welcome and I will be making a special place just for that. It will also include Randomness High and Randomness Kingdom story lines. Oh yeah, a Guaken AU and a Magic Realm AU. I would probably rate it M though.)
(A/N: the first part of Unrequited is up now! I have deleted the old one and I am gong to divide it to three parts. The 1st part is how they end up meeting in the present. Not mr. Viking-Kid plot yet. It will update quickly since college is coming.)
