Tying His Shoelaces

"I mean - Tying my shoelaces? Honestly, Germany..."
Italy smiles and smiles and smiles, talking to the large tree waving in the wind.
"I mean, Il Duce means well, at least well for me I mean, in some ways at least, he wants a strong Italy and he wants me to become an Empire like Grandpa was - but well, when push comes to shove, he doesn't like me all that much, you know? The real me, I mean - Not the me he wishes I would be. And he likes Lovi even less, for some reason I don't really get

I don't really mind that it's not completely according to what I asked.
It would have been nice, but this is quite masterfully done. So, it'd be foolish of me to hold it against you.
I find it to be beyond words how wonderfully you depicted Italy's almost dialogue, how you painted them as two soldiers that are really pawns who are helpless when it comes to their bad and/or crazy bosses and how Italy is telling Germany, at one point, that he'd help him if he knew how.
I really apreciate how Germany and Italy to an extent aren't all that different than from the guys we know and love from Hetalia. Germany is still the good soldier that follows orders and never questions, even though he's aware that something is not quite right. Italy still loves the arts, women, cooking and even as Sneaky!Italy he is good at running away.
You'll have to forgive me if I think I'd like to see more of this AU you've made. A Sequel or an Omake, if you can. ;) When you can...

Holy shit, anon.
I love your Sneaky!Italy. This was so dark and terrifyingly plausible. I really liked the contrast between Italy's long, rambling monologue and the short, poignant narration. And that ending! I agree with OP, I would love to see more.
"Hospital remedied". I don't think a hospital is going to help Germany much at this point, Captcha.

I would like to know what people think about it anyhow, though!

I haven't quite decided what to do, sequal-wise, though...
