Fanfiction: Germany/Italy, Fifty Sentences (Hetalia)

I have finished my Germany/Italy sentences for [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence! Nothing rated above PG in here, but I'd advise not reading if you're uncomfortable with the concept of Hetalia (anthropomorphic countries, light portrayal of war).



1. Walking

“How long until we get there, Germany?” Italy asked for the eighteenth time, trotting to keep up, and Germany, for the eighteenth time, said, “Two minutes”; Italy genuinely seemed to forget what he had said every thirty seconds, and at least the lie kept him happy.


2. Waltz

The dance really belonged to Germany, more or less, and so he found himself quite irritated when Italy turned out to be better at it.


3. Wishes

"Make me and Germany be friends for ever," Italy asks the shooting star, and Germany, who never goes to sleep entirely when Italy is keeping watch, tries to hide his surprise.


4. Wonder

Germany sets the phone down, cutting off Italy mid-‘Help, England said he wanted to be friends but then he tied me up and I think he was lying’, and takes a moment to marvel at the fact that his ally has survived for so long.


5. Worry

The Allies were accumulating new victories every day, and Germany was becoming weaker and weaker, and when he found himself worrying because they were running out of pasta he had to stop and wonder when his priorities had become so disordered.


6. Whimsy

“All right,” Germany said, rolling his eyes and trying to look stern as the kitten butted against his hand, “but you’re responsible for feeding it.”


7. Waste/Wasteland

There’s nothing for miles; Germany takes step after step, Italy sleeping on his back, and wonders again why he’s always supporting Italy when he can barely support himself.


8. Whiskey and Rum

Italy, it turned out, became very quiet when he’d been drinking enough, and Germany was able to enjoy the silence for approximately three minutes before it started to unnerve him.


9. War

“England’s food is terrible,” Italy explains, “so we say we’ll give him lots of delicious food if he lets us win,” and he looks so proud of himself that Germany hasn’t the heart to keep him from trying.


10. Weddings

Germany was smart, and he knew lots of things Italy didn’t, but there were some things only Italy knew: they were going to get married one day, and Italy’s dress was going to be beautiful.


11. Birthday

For Germany’s birthday, Italy gave him a hug; it wasn’t much of a gift, especially considering that Italy hugged him every day, but Germany appreciated it anyway.


12. Blessings

Germany hates it all – the difficult travelling, the fighting, the ever-dwindling food supplies – but, he thinks, listening to Italy’s cheerful singing, he’s not completely miserable.


13. Bias

Japan gave Germany a strange look when Germany snapped at him to keep moving, and it took Germany a moment to remember he’d been carrying Italy for the past two hours.


14. Burning

In peacetime, Germany invites Italy to his house, so they can spend some time together without being shot at, and when the entire place ends up on fire Germany finds himself longing for the days of the war.


15. Breathing

The moment the slowly-regaining-consciousness Germany became aware of breath on the back of his neck, he whipped around and grabbed the intruder in a headlock, and it was quite a long time before Italy attempted to creep into his bed again.


16. Breaking

Someone’s calling his name, but he can barely focus through the blur of returning memories – and then he’s back in the restaurant, in front of Italy, and it’s a long time before he manages to say, “I missed you.”


17. Belief

Italy trusts Germany, and that’s why Germany has to do everything he can to conceal the fact that they’re losing.


18. Balloon

“It wasn’t a gunshot!” Germany cried, exasperated, but Italy still refused to come down from the tree.


19. Balcony

England had told him climbing up to someone’s balcony was romantic, but Germany had already fallen off the side of the house three times, and on managing it he suddenly realised that it was the wrong Italy’s room.


20. Bane

Italy is useless and annoying and probably half the reason they’re losing, and Germany doesn’t know why he can’t even consider breaking off their alliance.


21. Quiet

It’s not that Italy’s constant chattering has become any more bearable; it’s just that the alternative has become worse.


22. Quirks

“You can’t wash your car outside the designated areas!” Germany exclaims, shocked, and he is slightly disconcerted when Italy, of all people, laughs and says, “Germany, you’re so strange.”


23. Question

When Germany realises he doesn’t know what to make of his relationship with Italy, he begins to ask others about it, but he abandons that plan immediately after hearing France’s advice.


24. Quarrel

“I’m just telling you to stop hiding behind me all the time; it’s not helpful, and it means I can’t move as fast, and – and – I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t cry!”


25. Quitting

Italy cries “I surrender!” so often that it takes Germany a moment to realise this time it’s real.


26. Jump

“The barking wasn’t that loud,” Germany says, looking in bemusement at the Italy suddenly cowering in his arms.


27. Jester

Germany does sometimes wonder why he keeps Italy around, but, if nothing else, at least he’s amusing.


28. Jousting

Germany quickly learns that Japan is the one with whom to practise battles.


29. Jewel

“Can the stone be in the shape of a tomato?” Germany asks the jeweller, wondering whether insanity is supposed to feel quite so much like joy.


30. Just

“Do you think we’re on the right side in this war?” Germany asked one night, staring up at the stars; Italy just pressed his face into Germany’s shoulder and made a contented purring sound, and Germany didn’t try to have that conversation with him again.


31. Smirk

England’s expression of amusement whenever Germany begins to speak about Italy is very off-putting, but when Germany asks him about it he just says, “Oh, nothing.”


32. Sorrow

The guilt never really goes away, but if Germany can’t change the past he can at least help Italy, and perhaps that way he can feel that he’s worth something.


33. Stupidity

“It’s a trap,” Italy explains proudly, and Germany takes one look at the pizza and the poorly-concealed pit and walks away.


34. Serenade

Please stop singing.”


35. Sarcasm

Five minutes of conversation with England, and Germany is already wishing he were with Italy instead; at least Italy doesn’t make him feel that he needs a decoding machine.


36. Sordid

All these years of war, Germany thinks, tilting his head back in the shower, and still Italy has somehow remained so innocent.


37. Soliloquy

Italy talks to himself in the night: meaningless ramblings about food, mostly, but Germany still finds the sound oddly comforting.


38. Sojourn

Being trapped on an island isn’t ideal, but it’s rather nice to take a moment to forget the war, and as he watches Italy happily pretending to be a fish Germany finds himself wondering whether they met under the wrong circumstances.


39. Share

Germany is left shaking and sweating in 1923, barely able to move under the weight of the economy; Italy can’t help, but he sits by Germany and he talks to him, and, irritating as he is, that’s something.


40. Solitary

Italy was quite possibly a greater danger as an ally in war than any of their enemies, but Germany still misses him when he’s gone.


41. Nowhere

The Allies are scary, and fighting hurts, but Italy has to stay with Germany; he’s always been afraid of being left behind.


42. Neutral

Germany’s not sure Italy even knows why they’re fighting this war; he seems to be on Germany’s side purely because he likes him, and Germany doesn’t know how to feel about that.


43. Nuance

Once or twice, when Germany was in danger, he looked over at Italy and saw – just for a moment, just maybe – a flash of his grandfather there.


44. Near

At first, Germany simply tolerates Italy’s sharing his bed – he cries if he’s kicked out – but, after a while, he comes to appreciate the closeness.


45. Natural

There are still moments when Germany thinks that Italy must be putting on an act – surely nobody could be that stupid? – but then Italy cries for help again, and Germany, patiently untangling him from the spaghetti, concludes that yes, apparently somebody can.


46. Horizon

Germany isn’t sure of where this war will take them; all he knows is that, perhaps unfortunately, they’re going there together.


47. Valiant

Well, Germany thought as Italy ran squeaking in fear away from England, he had shown admirable bravery until the enemy had actually appeared.


48. Virtuous

Italy has always expressed admiration for Germany’s intelligence and his bravery, but it takes Germany a long time to realise how much he envies Italy his simple love.


49. Victory

“Germany, Germany,” Italy calls from the edge of his pizza-baited pit trap, beaming, “I caught America!”


50. Defeat

"It'll be all right, Germany," Italy said, leaning against Germany's side, and Germany absently rested a hand on Italy's head and chose not to mention that he was very rarely correct.
