Once home, Italy showered and got ready for bed, laying there and waiting for a Ludwig to snuggle.

Ludwig took a quick shower, cleaning himself and went back to Italy

Italy curled up into Germany's side and closed his eyes, nuzzling Ludwig's chest like a little kitten.

Ludwig held his Italian lover close, happy to have him

-skips to morning-

Italy jumped up at four in the morning to get everything ready for breakfast. He then brought a tray up to Ludwig and whistled in an attempt to wake him.

Ludwig jumped and woke up to see Italy standing there. "I-Italy...?"

The smaller country smiled at him. "Yup. That's my name." He set the tray down beside Ludwig. "I hope you like it. I wanted to do something special for you since you took me on such a lovely date yesterday."

Ludwig smiled. "Well.. Thank you then." He smiled softly. "It was my honor to take you on a date, mein lieber."

He was happy to see a smile. "I loved it yesterday. It was so romantic and beautiful. I'm glad you shared it with me."

"I will always share that with you" He looked at the food for a minute. "We need to check on Russia and France..."

Italy sighed deeply. "Do we really have to?"

"You don't have to come with me. But we can't have them dying"

"Why not?" He asked coldly.

"We can use them to end this war... They're two of the biggest help for their side, and they are our captives."

Italy pouted a bit. "Fine. If we have to. I guess we have to.."

"It will only be until the war is over, then they can be out of our lives forever"

Italy nodded. "And then we can run away?"

"And then we can run away forever. And no one will bother us.."

Italy smiled and hugged Ludwig. "I can't wait my love."

"Neither can I... We won't have any worries.." He sighed. "I'll be back." Ludwig stood and walked out of the room to the cell that France and Russia were in

Italy curled back up in the bed, awaiting Germany's return.

He paused before entering the room, and decided to get them food, as he would have to anyways. He went to the kitchen, prepared a quick meal and then went back to the room and walked in

France ate his meal quickly and then glared at Germany. "Where's Italy?" he asked, his voice portraying hate.

"Not coming near you, you filthy frog." he said spitefully

France gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Damned traitor. I'm his own family."
