The Best Medicine, (7/7)

Italy clutched his shirt urgently at those words, looking up at him, his eyes wide with surprise and hope. When Germany saw that look on his face, the next words tumbled from his lips before he even had time to consider not saying it. “Because I love you.” Italy let out a little whimper at those words and clung to Germany desperately, nuzzling him enthusiastically. Germany was pretty sure Italy was wiping his nose on his shirt, but at the moment, he was having a hard time caring. He was blushing so furiously that he wondered if he might actually be giving off light and his heart pounded like a angry wild animal trapped inside a too-small box. He’d actually said it, the words that had been trapped in his head and heart for far too long, echoing deafeningly in the confined spaces and begging to be let out. As embarrassed as he was, he also felt liberated.
“I’ve waited so log… to hear Gerbady say that,” Italy gasped. “I’ve loved Gerbady for such a log, log tibe ad… I was so worried that Gerbady did’t feel the sabe way…”
He looked up at the taller boy, his eyes shining with tears again. “I wish I was better so I could kiss you…”
Germany cleared his throat awkwardly before hesitantly leaning forward and touching a shy kiss to Italy’s burning forehead. “The sooner you sleep… th-the sooner you’ll get better,” he mumbled.
Italy wrapped himself around the German, sighing happily as he tucked his head under Germany’s chin and muscular arms curled around him protectively. In spite of the misery caused by his cold, he couldn’t stop the smile that tugged at his lips when he noticed how hard Germany’s heart was beating. There were no words adequate enough to describe the depth of his appreciation that Germany had battled his own shyness and nerves to tell him how he felt. He couldn’t wait until he got better so that they could go on a date together. There was also the kiss to look forward to, of course. Italy wanted to giggle in anticipation but knew it would only end in a painful coughing fit so he bit back the joyful sound.
“Gerbady?” Italy mumbled sleepily. “Cad you tickle by cheek? It helps be fall asleep…”
Germany’s lips curled into a hint of a smile as he touched another kiss to the top of Italy’s head and began to stroke the silken skin gently. Then he paused in surprise.
“Italy…” he began, his voice tinged with disbelief. He pressed his cheek against Italy’s forehead, checking his temperature more carefully. “I don’t know how it’s possible, but your fever is already starting to go down! I knew that medicine I gave you was good but I’ve never seen it work this quickly…”
“Gerbady’s love ad kisses are the best bedicide id the world,” Italy whispered, more asleep than awake.
“That’s impossible…” Germany muttered.
He checked his temperature again on a different spot on his forehead to make sure, but there was no mistaking it. Italy’s fever was starting to fade. It wasn’t gone, in fact it was still moderate, but it no longer felt on the verge of being dangerous. Not only that, but the smaller boy was no longer shaking quite so badly and he seemed to be breathing just a little easier. Germany shook his head slightly in wonder and disbelief as he began to tickle Italy’s cheek again.
At the same time, though, he couldn’t help smiling just a little. He knew it was silly and completely infeasible, but the thought that he could heal the one he adored with his love and kisses made him happy. Germany hesitated a moment before ghosting more kisses along Italy’s cheek and down his neck, just on the off chance that they really did have some sort of effect. After all, it couldn’t hurt and it might help. Italy snuggled closer in his sleep and mumbled Germany’s name. Germany pulled the covers up higher around them before nuzzling his nose into Italy’s downy hair and letting his own eyes slip closed.
