Chapter 19

( Germany's POV)

     Germany woke up on Russia's chest. He blushed but didn't move. His body was so warm; he wanted to lay there forever. Germany could barely remember what last night was like. The only thing that he remembered was that he and Russia had-

Oh Germany thought. We made out last night.

Germany, through his blurred vision, saw a bruise-colored mark on his neck.

Russia gave me hickey. Scheisse.

     Germany slowly slipped off Russia's chest. He felt around for his glasses. They were on the farthest side of the bed. When he found them, he got up and went to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror.  The mark wasn't too bad, but it was still noticeable.

" What's the matter?" asked a tired voice from the room. Russia had woken up and was probably wondering who could be up so early.

" You gave me this last night," Germany stated, pointing to the love bite on his neck.

"Oh... well, that was fun, don't you agree?"

     Germany simply shook his head and hugged Russia. He honestly had no idea how he was gonna hide this from everyone else- and worse, his dad. He couldn't deny the fact that they did have fun last night. He hadn't ever made out with anyone, let alone feel the same feelings he felt for Russia.

"Yeah, I guess it was fun..." Germany finally said.

" You going home today?"

" Actually, I was wondering if I could stay a bit longer. I mean, I don't want to be burden or annoying, but-"

     Germany felt Russia's lips against his. He wrapped his arms around him for a minute. He really loved when Russia hugged him; it made him feel secure, which is a feeling he didn't feel often.

" Germany, you're not a burden to me," Russia said. " I love you, and I enjoy your company. You can stay as long as you'd like."

Germany smiled shyly at this. At least he wasn't annoying to some people.

" Looks like you two had some fun last night, huh?" said another voice. Germany turned around to see Belgium standing at the door. He tried to shield the bruise on his neck from sight.

" Don't worry about it," Belgium stated, clearly knowing what he was doing. " The only one who's gonna make a huge fuss over it Israel and Japan. And oh boy, when Japan sees it.."

     Germany figured that Japan already knew. Unless she had been asleep with her eyes open, she had seen what they were doing last night. He figured that in the end, it wouldn't be too big of a deal so long as Reich didn't find out.

" You're not gonna be the one to tell her, are you?" Russia asked.

" There wouldn't be a point. Did you forget that Japan has freakin' cat eyes? She'll see it before I even utter the words-"

" Germany has a hickey?!?" Japan yelled. She came rushing over to look at it. Her tail was swishing in excitement.

" I mean, I woke up and saw Russia on top of you, but I didn't realize he gave you a love bite! You guys made out too, didn't you?"

Germany didn't answer. He covered his flustered face with his hands. Japan gasped.

" So you did! Honey, come look!"

     Germany watched South waddle drowsily into the bathroom entrance. He knew that they had shared a sleeping bag together and had spooned. Germany figured that South was the little spoon. He thought they were really cute together. Maybe Russia would spoon him at some point...

" What's up?" South asked with a yawn.

" Look what Germany has!" Japan replied, pointing at his neck.

     South didn't have Japan's cat vision, so she had to squint to see the light purple-red hickey.

" What am I looking at- wow. Oh wow. Did he give that to you last night?" South said, motioning towards Russia. Germany nodded but didn't say anything.

" What's with all the commotion? " asked Italy with too much energy to have just woken up. Everyone pointed at Germany.

Germany suddenly felt ery nervous. They were all his friends, but he still gets nervous when there's a lot of attention on him.

" What's up with Germany?"

" Look at his neck!"

Italy looked.

" Did Russia give that to you?"

Germany nodded. Italy then turned to Russia.

" Ooh, you two were being cheeky last night!" He teased.

" Okay, which of us isn't awake yet?" Russia asked.

"Israel," Germany replied. Israel was a bit of a deep sleeper.

     Everyone moved away from the bathroom entrance to let Germany through. He walked over to where Israel was sleeping. Bending down, Germany gently slapped the side of his head. He did it again when he got no response.

"Can I try?" Japan asked. She walked over to where Germany and Israel were.

"WAKE UP TOFU BLOB!" she yelled. Israel shifted but didn't wake up.

" I have an idea," Russia said. Germany and Japan moved out the way.

      Russia gave him another slap on the face. But instead of continuing, he spoke to Israel.

" So uh, I think I got Germany pregnant-"

     Russia didn't get to finish his sentence. Israel shot up and was almost immediately awake.

" You did WHAT?" He yelled.

" Calm down, Iz," Germany said. " He was joking. That's not even possible."

" Oh yeah," Israel said, slightly embarrassed. "Hold on- is that what I think it is?"

Germany didn't respond.

" Damn. Your dad would kill you if he saw that!"

"Yeah, I know."

      After a little bit of talking, everyone got rather hungry. They began to head downstairs to find something for breakfast. Germany made sure to stay in the back; he didn't want Soviet to notice him. Luckily, the only person out and about was Belarus. She was flipping pancakes in the kitchen.

" Morning, Sis, " Russia said. " How did you know how to turn the stove on?"

" Dad showed me!"

" I thought you weren't allowed to use the stove without supervision."

" Ukraine was out here, but he went back to sleep."

     Germany looked on the couch and saw that Ukraine was indeed asleep.

" Well, I'm here now. We need to make a bunch for my friends, so you'll need to mix more batter."

" Okay!"

     Belarus scurried to a cabinet. Standing on a step stool, she reached up and got a box of pancake mix. She then gathered a few more ingredients. On her way to grab a bowl, she casually looked over and saw Germany. Their eyes met. Germany got very nervous. Was she going to try and use him as a human sacrifice again?

     Instead, she smiled fondly at him and continued her task to make pancake batter.

●□●□●□

      Germany waved goodbye to Italy. He was the last to leave Russia's house. He walked over and sat down next to Ukraine, who was still dozing. Russia came over and sat down by him. Russia wrapped his arm around Germany and rested his hand on his shoulder. Germany leaned on him.

" So, what do you want to do today?" Russia asked.

     Germany thought for a moment. It was really nice outside. The morning dew had just disappeared from the grass, so it shouldn't be too wet outside. He would love to go outside and enjoy the fresh air for a while, but he didn't know where they could go.

Then it clicked.

" I know where we could go," Germany finally said.

"Where?"

" There's this really pretty spot in the woods. Do you wanna go?"

"Sure!"

  Germany was excited. He was going to show Russia the secret oasis in the forest.

He would take him to meet the black swan.
