Love On Walls (GerIta)

"Germany!  Germany!" Italy ran excitedly up to poor unsuspecting Germany and slapped a pair of headphones on his head, "I need to show you something!"

"Um… Italy, you're having me listen to something right now, I don't see anything," Germany said kindly looking down at the ecstatic Italy.

"Oh I know," Italy said and smiled, "I need you to listen to this song first, then I'll show you… oh and I need to put this on you too."

"Wait, what…?" Germany asked confused as Italy put a blindfold on him.  Italy carefully led him through the house to the unused back-room and sat him down in a chair in the middle of the room.

"Tell me when the music is finished." Italy told him and sat at his feet looking up at Germany all giddy from head to toe.

A couple minutes later Germany took off the headphones, "Ok, it's finished, now what do you want to show me?"  Italy quickly took off the blindfold and waited for Germany's reaction.  Germany gaped at the wall in front of him.  It was painted in bright intricate swirls of color complete with butterflies and hearts with the words 'Ti amo Germany' painted in big whirly letters.  Some of the waves became noodles and led to giant plates of pasta.  Others turned into vines of ivy, Germany's favorite plant in the garden.  He looked around the whole room and each wall was covered in beautiful murals, many of the decorations spelled out 'love' and 'together' and 'Germany'.  Germany sat in his chair stunned and unable to speak.

"I… um… made this for you Germany.  That's what I've been working on for the past couple weeks… I hope you like it…"  He said blushing and worrying about what Germany was thinking.  "I worked really hard on it.  I tried to put as many colors as I could, especially all your favorites.  I got inspiration from the song, you know it said 'I will paint my words of love with your name on every wall.'  So I did exactly what the song said…"  Germany still wasn't saying anything and Italy started to worry he didn't like it.

Germany tried to take the whole thing in, he was listening to Italy and was surprised how open he was with what he was saying.  Not being able to control himself he grabbed Italy's wrists and pushed him against the wall, which scared little Italy, "I'm sorry Germany, I'm sorry!  You don't like it I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have painted on the walls without your permission please forgive me!  I have enough white paint to paint it back over again if you want me too!  Or, since you don't love me anymore, I can just leave if you want me t—"  Germany cut him off with an affectionate kiss on his soft pink lips.

When they broke apart Germany started, "Italy… it's beautiful… I love it."  He looked down into Italy's confused eyes, "You did all of this for me?"  Italy nodded apprehensively, "Italy, it's wonderful, thank you so much."  He wrapped him in a tight hug.  After a couple minutes Italy seemed to relax and he let him go, "Italy?  Why did you say I didn't love you anymore?"

Italy looked down, his face as red as the tomatoes he loves, "B-Because, you've been so distant lately… you haven't been talking much and you've rarely been nagging at me or ruffling my hair or hugging me…  I was afraid you'd lost interest in me.  So I thought this was the best thing to see if you had.  And I love you so much Germany, I didn't want to lose you."  Italy timidly looked up at Germany who passionately kissed him again.

"I could never lose interest in you Italy, you're way too exciting," he smiled and kissed him again, "The past couple of weeks I've been thinking about you actually.  I was thinking how to keep you happy because you seemed a little down, but I guess that's because you were worrying about me."  He gave a little laugh, "I would never leave you Italy, you know that, right?"

Italy thought over what Germany was saying and nodded his head with a smile, "Right!"

"There's that smile,"  Germany said while pulling Italy into another bear hug and kissing him on the cheek.  Italy held Germany back and got as close as he could.  They stood like that for a few minutes.  "C'mon, it's a beautiful day let's go outside."
