Heaven Knows

Germany was handling paperwork in his now small office. Ever since the pollution spread heavily,all nations have had to retreat to safer locations. He and Italy had been relocated to a small village in Italy's countryside.

Suddenly a sickly cough came from the other room. Immediately Ludwig sprinted over to the source of sound to see Feliciano on his knees with a handkerchief over his mouth.

There's no time to waste

He kneeled to his lover's side and teared up as the handkerchief revealed blood. Already Italy had been severely hit in vital regions.

In this famous goodbye
There's Angels landing on the shore

Italy briefly wiped the excess liquid and weakly smiled at the stronger nation. This only made Germany sadder.

So lay down with me
Let the river run dry
It's Sunday in the six-day war

"Come on Germany,don't be sad. I'm just sick with a little cough...It'll be over soon." Italy said softly. "Why don't we go outside,I think we need fresh air out of this stuffy house,sí?"

Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight

Germany nodded and Italy smiled again. As Feliciano tried to get up it seemed useless as he was too weak,and instead Germany carried Italy. As he carried him piggyback style it reminded him of when they were healthy.

Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you

Italy smiled at Germany and they walked out the door for their stroll. He pointed at the animals,lakes,rocks. It had been a while since they could step outside without a mask. When Italy pointed at the sky his eyes widened. Not too far away was a medium gray cloud. Soon he replaced it with an ecstatic smile and Germany continued to trot by the bridge. This small pathway was never too far from 'home'.

Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you

They passed by multiple citizens and waved hello. Some warning them that there might be a drizzle of rainfall later on. Ignoring this and forgetting how rain felt and smelled.

There's a children's choir in perfect parade
Singing like they found the Lord
I can't say it they'll let me in

Feliciano began to hum a tune he remembered from the radio and Germany quietly joined him. Feliciano then patted Germany to put him down,Germany hesitantly obliging to the request.

But we can dance the way we did
High above up the seventh floor

Italy cautiously stepped on the ground and then took Germany's hands in his. They both smiled and then began swaying lightly,Feliciano trying to keep up in his ill health state.

Smile darling don't be sad
Stars are going to shine tonight

The sun began to fade of light as the predicted rain was starting to fall. Italy giggled and stuck his tongue up into the air in attempt to catch rain. Germany chuckled and did the same actions.

Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you

Feliciano began to dance again,he danced happily in the rain. Ludwig twirled him and they kissed in the rain. The rain washed the worry away.

They danced,sang,smiled in the rain. Germany hugged the shorter male contently,it had been ages since he could smile like this.
All good things come to end though.

Feliciano abruptly fell to the gravel,hand clutched over his mouth. Germany kneeled to him and frowned agape. Feliciano's smiled,even as blood slipped from his lips. He knew he only had minutes.

"I'm afraid I have to leave you, amore. Take care of yourself,sí?" Feliciano said between coughs.

"What are you talking about? No! Please don't leave me,Feli! I need you! Please! Ich liebe dich! Ich liebe dich! " Germany shouted to the Italian.

Father hear your Son
Do the good die young
Did I raise you up, raise you up
Make you Proud

"Ti amo,Ludwig...Please don't be sad. It was time for you to let go of me. I don't want to hold you back,you're better off without me."

"No, Feliciano! You do not understand that you are everything! I am not real without you!"

"Ti amo. Ciao,mi amore. Goodbye my love,Ludwig."

Then his amber eyes fluttered closed and his breathing hitched. Germany had tears running down his cheeks.

"Feli? Feliciano?! Feli!" Ludwig shouted to the lifeless body.

Let the sun go out
Tear the bridges down
I'm on my way, on my way
I'm going home
Home

Germany cursed the name of God,and asked why he took away his Italian. He cursed to the heavens in anger,then again,who could send his Feliciano to hell? He was the innocence in the earth,untouched and fragile.

And now he was gone.

Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you

Tell me where the good men go
Before I wash away
Walk me down the old brick road
So I can die where I met you
Hold me like we're going home
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you

Heaven Knows
