"That's where my worry lies Italy.." He finished with the bandages.

He sighed. "I'll be fine you know.." He kissed Germany's hand and then stood. "I'm going to go to the garden ok?" He limped out and went to sit in the flowers.

Germany sighed, hoping he hadn't pushed Italy away with his worrying. He couldn't help it after all.

Italy sighed a little and stared out into the field before him. He walked as far as he could before getting to weak to stand. He fell down into the grass and looked up at the sky. He was incredibly tired and he couldn't stand back up. He started crying in frustration. He felt weak and soft.

Ludwig silently read while waiting for Feliciano to return to the house, hoping sincerely he would be back soon

Before long Italy had cried himself straight to sleep. when he woke it was almost dark, but he was to tired to make his way back to the house, so he just sat there and picked some of the flowers around him, tying together the ends to make a necklace of them. It was kind of cute and he decided that when he got back inside he'd give it to Germany. He stood shakily, not wanting to be out after nightfall. Dangerous things could come after him in the dark ad he'd be unable to escape. He staggered back in to Germany and set the necklace around the blonde man's neck. "You see? I made you a necklace." He smiled at how pretty it looked on its new owner's neck.

Ludwig looked at the flower necklace then looked at the one who made it. "I love it Feliciano..." He gently pulled the Italian down to kiss him tenderly.

The kiss made Italy feel as giddy as a schoolgirl, making his face flush and his heart race. Being called by his name in such a fashion also contributed to making him feel love sick. "I-I'm glad you like it." He said, gasping as he pulled his lips away and then diving back in to kiss Ludwig again.

Germany was surprised by Italy, but couldn't argue. He kissed the Italian back, holding him close to himself.

Feliciano had no intentions of stopping this anytime soon. He'd just keep kissing Germany until he was stopped from doing so. He only paused occasionally to keep air before kissing him again and again, deeper and deeper until he was hot all over and had to stop before he lost his mind. He had his eyes closed and was panting, still hovering his lips close to Germany's

Ludwig panted softly as well, his face only slightly flush. He was glad to have his love so close to him. "I love you, Feliciano."

Italy realized a bit to late just what he'd done and jerked back swiftly, turning red as a tomato. He gave a swift. "I love you too." and then kissed Ludwig's cheek before swiftly leaving the room, more than a little aroused as well as embarrassed for making such a move on Germany. He was supposed to be the innocent one! That had just been so much better than when France had done that to him. He touched his lips softly and then got himself in the bed

Ludwig blinked then sighed and went off to bed himself. He hoped he hadn't done something wrong, but he might have.

Italy was having a hard time sleeping with such a stiffy. He groaned in annoyance and got up, knowing he couldn't take a shower this late at night without waking the others. He decided to go and sneak out to the creek that was near here. He got a towel and soap, then wrapped his almost naked body in a sheer, silken bathrobe. He needed something to cool him down, and well as get him thinking correctly. He opened the door slowly and then stepped out, walking towards the creek.

Japan heard a soft padding outside in the hallway and he steppe out to see an almost nude Italy. He cocked an eyebrow and then followed him for a bit until the young country stepped outside. He was pretty suspicious of the behavior. Who got up this late and snuck out so scantily clad? He went and woke Germany. "Ludwig? Wake up. Italy just snuck out and I think we should follow.

Italy got to the creek and took off all he had on, folding his clothes neatly on the bank. He slip into the water, his teeth chattering at the frigid cold. He was thankful that it kept him from thinking to dirty though. He had no idea he was being watched by France who was crouched in some bushes near him, peeping to see the Italian.

Ludwig woke up to see Japan, "Snuck out...?" He bolted up quickly, afraid he had tried to go and attack the Allies again. "Let's go." he pulled boots on and walked to the door. "Where was he headed for?"

Japan shook his head. "I just saw him sneak out the door. I think you should also know he was practically in the nude." Japan thought Italy was whoring himself around. The man may have been innocent before, but he'd changed so much lately that Japan didn't even know what to expect. "Germany. Whatever you see, whatever Italy is doing and no matter who with...don't be to crushed ok?" He warned. He looked down to see small foot prints. "I think we should follow these."

Italy sighed with contentment before hearing someone behind him. He saw a flash of blonde hair and he stood up, covering himself with his towel. "Damn it Ludwig! Can you not trust me to go and take a bath!? I'm not even done yet and I'm not up for a group bath, so go away." he knew that was harsh, but he'd been startled by the person, and he was annoyed. He noticed Germany hadn't come out of hiding and wondered if he'd offended him. "Ok, I'm sorry...you scared me. You can join me if you want to...just no more kissing...it makes me feel a bit to hot." He could hear odd French laughter. "Oh ho ho...so that what's happening between you two? I should've suspected such love to blossom." Italy felt his heart speed up and his stomach drop. "F-Frog! Get t-the hell a-away from me!" He stammered, holding out a knife in defense. He was shaking and wanted to run. He heard a noise behind him and he bolted, screaming and leaving his towel behind. He had to get back to the house. He'd be safe when he got back to Ludwig.

Japan jumped as a butt naked Italy ran towards them, screaming like a girl. Behind him was France who didn't see Japan and Germany. Apperatly Italy didn't see them either. He stumbled and fell to the ground, allowing just enough time for the frog to pounce on his younger prey. "Get the bloody hell off of me!!!" Italy screamed at the top of his lungs. "Who is he now? England?" Japan said quietly. There was more screaming and then it got extremely silent. The only sound he heard after that was crying.

Italy looks at what he'd done. He'd killed France. The man was bleeding out where Italy had jabbed a knife into him and the heavy weight was pinning Italy to the ground. He didn't expect to be found until morning, maybe even after that. He just cried, horrified by the blood that was running all over him.

Ludwig ran to where he heard screaming and crying to see a bleeding France on him. "France!" He glared and got the man off Italy before seeing the wound. "Mein Gott..."

Italy felt like he just might die when Germany simply said 'My god' "I-I didn't mean to kill him. I swear it was an accident. I didn't mean to...please....make it stop..." he started babbling about self defense and some other stuff that didn't make a lot of sense. "I'm going to hell..." He cried, putting his hands over his face and sobbing. He was covered in warm blood and he could hear France wheezing a little. Japan took off his coat and covered Italy up, not wanting him to be exposed any longer. "Come with me." Japan muttered. When he got no response he just picked Feliciano up and carried him to the house, leaving Germany to care for the wounded France who seemed to be about to faint. Once getting him into the house, Japan washed Italy completely and dressed him before dragging him to Germany's bed. He saw Italy was completely unresponsive to any of this and he knew the boy's mind was long gone.

Ludwig took care of Frances wound, realizing that it was bad, but he wouldn't die. He picked the guy up and took him to the house, locking him in a room

Japan walked in to Germany. "Is it bad?" He asked, wondering just how much Italy had done. He needed to try to coax Italy out of shock and mental depression, but he needed some good news to even try to get him to open up.

Italy simply stated at the ceiling of Ludwig's room while laying in the bed. He felt empty....this was a horrible thing. He just didn't feel at all.

"The Frog Bastard is fine. The wound is bad but not going to kill him. He'll be up and about in a few weeks" Ludwig said as he rinsed his hands

Japan nodded. "You must go and check on Italy. His mind....is in bad shape..." He said, not sure how to put this. "He's long gone, I'm not sure what to do."

Ludwig frowned. "I'll talk to him... Keep an eye on the frog." He walked out and to his bedroom to see Italy lying there. "Feliciano..?"

Italy heard a voice that sounded familiar, but foreign all at the same time. He didn't answer at all, not able to figure out what was going on and not caring enough to try and focus long enough to find out. "Are you here to put me away?" He asked quietly.

"What? No... Italy, France is gong to live. He just won't be doing anything for the next few weeks..."
