GerIta

Feliciano spent WAY too much time thinking about Ludwig. Maybe it had something to do with his wish...

He knew that Ludwig was the reincarnation of the Holy Roman Empire. He had wished on a star for his childhood sweetheart to be saved from death in battle, and had gotten his wish. The catch was, he wouldn't remember his past. Almost everyone else knew about it, and he and Gilbert didn't want him to find out.

Well, Gilbert didn't want his "younger" brother knowing that he was actually older than The Awesome Prussia. His main motivation was right there. But Feliciano had a better reason; he didn't want the spell to be lifted and Ludwig to die again.

So, after thinking about this, when Ludwig arrived at his house, he was overjoyed.

Ludwig knocked on the door, to find it opened immediately by a bubbly young Italian. He blushed slightly, then regained his composure.

"Uh, good afternoon. I came by to drop off this letter you left at my house."

"Ve~! Thanks Ludwig!"

Ludwig tipped his hat, and was about to walk away when Feliciano's expression changed. He had realized what the letter was shortly after it had been handed to him.

"You... didn't read it, did you?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Oh..." Feliciano looked rather rejected.

"Why, what's wrong?"

Feliciano opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by his brother.

"Hey, close the damn door, will ya? You're letting in all the cold air." Lovino growled.

Ludwig and Feliciano stood in awkward silence for a moment before Feliciano spoke.

"Don't mind him, he's grumpy today! And every day." He chirped.

"What's wrong, Feliciano?"

"Would you like to come in?"

Ludwig nodded, and took off his hat and jacket. He sat on the couch and awkwardly shifted position after Feliciano plopped down right next to him.

"I-um... I left the letter on purpose. I wanted you to read it."

"Oh."

"Can I read it to you?"

"Uh-if you want to."

Dear Ludwig,

Hi! It's me! I left this letter because I wanted you to know something.

I love you.

~Feliciano

"That's it?!" Ludwig seemed shocked.

"It's okay if you don't feel that way."

"No, I-I do feel that way..."

"You do?!" Feliciano jumped on top of Ludwig and gave him a bear hug.

"Yes, I've felt this way for a while." He hugged the naive country back and wondered if he had ever been this serious about anything. He decided he liked it, a mix of mostly immaturity and a pinch of seriousness.

Ludwig blushed. A though had popped into his mind, and in that brief second before the hug would have ended, he kissed Feliciano on the cheek.

Which was greeted with another on the lips.
