bought way too many things for the cat and knocks on the front door. He can't get to his keys. >///>

hears the door and comes bounding over to it, too hyper to stop singing while opening it.

stops in the middle of a chorus and yells "Ludwig!! You're back!" He grins forgetting to move away to let the German man in.

nearly drops the things when he hears him, sputtering something before clearing his throat. "I.. got some things for Angel."

gasps happily, his eyes going wide. "Angel will love that!" he exclaims. Hegrabs Ludwig's arm and practically drags him in the house,_

closing the door behind them. "Angel!" he shouts, "come out! Come look what Luddy got for you!" He starts hopping up and down, unable to_

stand still.

blinks a few times. "Luddy?" he asks.

freezes in place, like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Hehe, yeah! Luddy. Do you like it?? If not, I'll stop saying it.."

shakes his head and starts to the kitchen. "It's... a good nickname."

grins happily then bounds after him. "So what'd'ya get her??" He was back to being too hyper to stand still again.

spreads out all kinds of cat toys, food, collars (not sure what colour to pick), a litter box, more and more

starts giggling at all the items. "How many kitties do we have, Luddy??" He laughs harder and picks up Angel, showing her everything, still_

giggling.

blushes and looks away. He hadn't meant to go over board... >///>

looks up at Luddy and grins. He starts poking Ludwig's red cheeks, fully understanding why he's blushing this time. "Hehe! Look! You're_

blushing, Luddy! Hehe! It's so cute!"

waves his hand. "G-Go pick a collar for her."

grins while he places the different collars on the ground and lets Angel pick the one she wants. He picks up the one she pawed at and puts_

it on her.

takes a deep breath to calm himself, some of the blush going away, and smiles at them both.

picks her up and starts dancing around the house. 'Join us!" He calls out to Ludwig. He runs over and grab's Ludwig's hand, now pulling him_

around trying to get him to dance with himself.

stumbles about, following him.

trips over his own feet when Agel squirms to get away. He quickly lets her down, though starts to fall from the awkward position he's put_

himself in.

Angel*

wraps his arms firmly around him and picks him up a few feet from the ground. "Careful," he chuckles.

blushes from being so clumsy. He grins up at Ludwig, embarrassed." Hehe. Sorry!"

smiles and sits him on the counter top.

tall for once, and he smiles. "Hiya!" he exclaims to him, with a soft smile on his lips.

resists his dark urges and turns away, scooping up the cat and shoving it into Italy's arms to distract him.

out a little "Oh!" when he catches the kitten. But he frowns again, when she tries to squirm away. He lets her go with a little sigh.

ruffles Italy's hair. "Kittens don't like to be held too much. They're like little balls of energy."

laughs. "Like me! I like being held, but I'm like a ball of energy, too!" He grins happily.

loses a bit of control and he leans forward, leaning his forehead against Italy's with a shaky sigh. "J-just like you."

's eyes widen in surprise. He leans forward a bit and pokes Ludwig's nose with his own, and giggles.

draws back from him, blushing horribly as he rubs his nose.

blinks and smiles. "Luddy!!!! Can I have a hug?" He grins and throws his arms open, practically bouncing on the counter, waiting for hug.

can't resist and hugs him tightly.

melts into the hug, tightly hugging him back. "Veeee~!"

nuzzles into his neck, losing his control once more.

moves his head to the side so Ludwig is more comfortable, while cuddling himself closer to him with a happy sigh.

breathes in deeply, entranced by his scent of pasta.

never felt so comfortable with another person before. He soaks up as much as he can while continuing to grip tightly to him.

squeezes him tighter, shaking a little with his happiness.

curious as to why Ludwig was shaking, but he doesn't question it vocally. He didn't want to ruin the moment.

tenses briefly before slouching into him, squeezing him a bit before sighing. "Italy... there's... .something I want to say."

pulls back slightly, so he can look properly at him. He scrunches his eyebrows, confused. "Ve? What is it, Luddy?"

can't meet his eyes and stares instead at Italy's chest. "I..."

blinks a few times, waiting to hear him out.

covers his own eyes with one hand before blurting out: "I like you"

blinks, not getting the true meaning. "I like you too, Luddy!" He smiles innocently.

winces and pulls away from him. "Y-Yeah."

notices the friction in the room and realizes it has something to do with the distance he just put between them. "I'm... missing_

..something.. aren't I..?"

nods slowly. "Y-yeah..."

's eyebrows pull together again. He didn't understand, but was really trying to. "What.. am I.. missing?"

moves his hand slowly from his eyes to look at him. "Don't worry about it," he laughs nervously.

frowns. "But. Luddy. Something's bothering you." His eyes start tearing up. "I don't like anything hurting you!"

takes Italy's face into both of his hands, shaking his head. "N-No, don't worry about this," he pleads. "Please."

frowns deeper, still not liking whatever was bothering him. He places both of his hands onto Ludwig's. "If you say so.." He rests his_

forehead against Ludwig's, trying to give him some good energy, to help cheer him up. It was the least he could try to do.

loses all control and finally just kisses him. :<

gasps and freezes up for an instant, before slowly kissing him back. His face going redder and redder from a blush.

gets scared when he feels him kiss back and stumbles back, tripping over the cat and smashing his head against the counter. "O-ouch."

puts both hands over his lips, touching them slighty, surprised at what just happened. He looks up with the slight thunk of his head_

against the counter. He jumps down and starts walking towards him, but freezes, not sure if he should go closer. "Are you okay?" he says _

just above a whisper.

slouches to the floor, holding his head as he tries to focus in on one of the four Italys in front of him. "Y-Yeah," he giggles.

tries to hold it in, but a slight giggle comes outwhen he hears the giggle from Ludwig. He slowly moves closer to the hurt man, and kneels_

down beside him. "What can I do to help you??" He asks, worried.

closes his eyes, suddenly too tired to escape in his embarrassment. "A-Ah... some ice?"

jumps up, frantic. "Oh yeah! Ice! Ice! Gotta get ice!" In his hurry he slips but catches himself, and runs off. He comes back with a baggy_

of ice and a cloth wrapped around it. He places it in Ludwig's hand and backs up a bit, wrapping his arms around himself.

sits up, wincing a bit as he holds the ice to his head. "... I'm sorry about... that..."

is confused. "What's there to be sorry about? You hurt yourself. I'm sorry, for doing that.."he trails off, staring at the floor, worried.

shakes his head, standing up with a wobble. He balances himself on the counter with one hand, as he stares at him. "No. I'm sorry about.._

_the kiss."

looks at the floor, a blush coming to his cheeks while he bites his lip. "Oh!" he gasps seeing Ludwig stand up. He runs over and places_

himself under Ludwig's other arm to keep him from falling again.

blushes brightly as well, staring at the floor now. "You don't have to do this," he whispers.

blushes harder from the close proximity. "What do you mean I don't have to do this? I don't like you hurt! I want to help! It was because_

I.." He cuts off and starts to whisper. "because I kissed you back, that you got hurt. I don't like hurting you. That's the last thing I_

want to do." He takes a breath to try to calm himself down. "Where do you want to go? The couch? The bed?"

can't even imagine the bedroom without the thought of Italy sharing the same bed and he quickly shakes his head. "I... need to know_

_something first.."

straightens up a bit, so he can look at him better. He can't keep his gaze for longer than a second, the blush taking over his face again.

whispers, "What is it?'

glances at him before glancing away. "Did you kiss back because... I kissed you... or... b-because you wanted to..."

's blush deepens. "Be-because... BecauseIwantedto," he says all at once.

isn't sure he heard it right and lowers the ice pack onto the counter, facing Italy properly. "What was that/"

puts one hand over his face, closing his eyes. "I said.." He takes a deep breathe to calm himself and moves his hand.

's eyes lock onto Ludwig's. He murmurs "Because I wanted to."

's expression softens and he finally smiles a bit, smoothing back Italy's hair cautiously. "Really?"

nods embarrassed.

closes his eyes and sinks back to the floor.

didn't know what he was doing and sinks to the floor beside him. Slightly embarrassed at what he just revealed.

gasps in surprise, and turns his head to look at Ludwig with wide eyes. Finally understanding what Ludwig meant earlier.

looks at him, startled, not knowing what he was coming into realization about. "Are you okay?"

nods, a blush coming over his cheeks. Again. He looks away and mutters "I just realized what you meant. Earlier. Before you.." He trailed_

off

flames bright red, clearing his throat nervously. "I-I'm... sorry about that."

\s

((sorry, on a laptop, this thing is killingme I'm trying though!))

's eyes fall to the ground, devastated. "Did you.. did you not mean it, then..?"

gapes at him, not believing he came up with that conclusion. "Y-You know I wouldn't do something unless I meant it."

blushes bright red. He doesn't know how to respond, so he places his hand on Ludwig's arm, silently apologizing. He lightly rests his head_

against Ludwig's shoulder.

((If you want, Germany is looking for Italy in another plurk.)

((Oh? Okay. I've gotta find it. <.<' ))
