[Fanfic + Fanart] His Greatest Wish

Ano... I've been lurking around in the community for a little while now and finally decided to step out of the shadow and into the light; so here's my first post - i.e. both a short fanfic and a fanart! A little note... my favorite APH pairing is Germany and N.Italy, but lately I've been squeeing my guts out over Holy Roman Empire and Chibitalia as well, hence this post ^__^;

Title: His Greatest Wish
Author/Artist: vamprincessnoa (moi!)
Character(s) or Pairing(s): Holy Roman Empire X Chibitalia
Rating: Uhm... G I guess, there's nothing explicit XD
Warnings: Weird grammar (my apologies!), a little bit of angst I guess...
Summary: A short one-shot fanfic about Holy Roman Empire's greatest wish written from his point of view; hence why Chibitalia will be referred to as 'she' and 'her' since we all know HRE always thought Ita-chan was actually a girl ^__^;



~~~~ HIS GREATEST WISH ~~~~



"What do you think you're doing?!"

"Eehh??"

The door slammed shut and the two nations stood in awkward silence, but the silence did not last for long.

"Don't you knock before entering?" Blond brows furrowed together and his expression turned dark within a split second.

"But Holy Roman Empire, Austria asked me to..."

"Austria this! Austria that! You always do whatever Austria tells you to do!"

"Eehh?! I'm sorry! Don't hit me! Please, I... I..." Italy couldn't finish whatever she was trying to say as she was suddenly seized by a fit of hiccups and tears. She choked on her words as tears began to spill from her eyes and she sniffled loudly, hiccuping in between her apologies. The broom that she was never seen without hit the floor with a dull thud as small hands reached up and she rubbed at the tears, trying to wipe them dry.

Holy Roman Empire gritted his teeth with an inward wince of guilt. He tore his gaze away from her tear stained cheeks, trying his hardest to ignore her flustered state.

"Ah... Italy, listen, I didn't mean it that way..."

That's right; he never meant to raise his voice at her, she was his goddess after all. He adored her and wanted to protect her from Austria, France and every other nation out there who had ever tried to hurt her in the past. But Holy Roman Empire knew himself better than anyone else did. He knew, no matter how he tried, it was impossible for him to keep a level head whenever she was concerned. He lacked Austria's patience and did not possess France's charming ways with words, and as for Spain's passion? The only passion he had was for battles and bloodshed.

"That is... look, I'm not angry with you. Could you stop crying?" This was the best he could offer; it wasn't even a proper apology. "I'm.. I..." Holy Roman Empire narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth again and balling his hands into fists out of frustration. How hard could it be to apologize to her? Well, apparently, it was harder than it looked. His courage was failing him splendidly, it seemed to have gone off hiding somewhere and all that was left was his cowardly self - unable to admit his feelings towards Italy.

"Italy... could you please leave me alone for now?" He watched as she, still teary eyed and vulnerable, dipped her head forward with a nod and picked her broom up off the floor. She turned and hurried out of his room, her timid retreat bringing to mind the image of a frightened, little mouse scurrying to safety. As the door closed and he found himself alone once more, Holy Roman Empire plodded over to his bed and hopped up onto the mattress. "Why is it everything she does seems to make me blush...?" He sighed deeply and his shoulders slumped low. "I wasn't able to tell her..."

How many missed opportunities had it been already? At least twelve in the past week, not including what had just happened back there.

It baffled him that he could charge straight into a battlefield without any hesitation, fight against nations twice his size without a thought towards his own safety; yet a single smile from his goddess would turn him into a cowardly fool.

"No matter what happens, Italy..." The young nation murmurred, falling backwards onto his bed. "I'll always protect you...", he said while closing his eyes. Becoming the Roman Empire with her, being together and protecting her was his greatest wish and only desire...



~~~~ THE END ~~~~


Short fic is... well... short XD I apologize, I actually hadn't planned it out at all, I drew the sketch of a particular scene then decided to write the scene in the fic to accompany the picture. So the fanfic was more of a 'spur of the moment' deal. Anyhows! Onto the fanart part of my post.


Clicky-clicky me

The sketch is.. very sketchy? *sobs* I fail at inking and coloring, that's why my drawings always stay as pencil sketches. Also, I fail at drawing chibi-fied hands, so it's mitt-hands for HRE and Ita-Chan lol! Oh, as for the whole sword and shield thing... yeaah... I realize the shield is huge, but I got the idea from a MMORPG I used to play where the Paladins had huuuuuge shields that were almost as tall as they were ^__^;

Hmm... I'm thinking of drawing a second version of this picture, except with Germany and N.Italy instead... ah well, guess I better go back to doing that~!! *hurries off*
