Secrets

Sorry it's short, I'm in pain today.Trigger Warning for notes now... bloody mess and gross... sorry.I cut some of my thumb last night. Like a chunk came off.

Luciano let out a low growl and went back to his seat, "The next one of these stupid things is..." he chuckled a bit before reading, "Sometimes, when Feliciano talks very expressively, he accidentally slaps Ludwig in the face."

Feliciano and Ludwig's faces were bright red. Whilst others burst out laughing. Some of the quieter nations fought back smiles and laughter. It took a few minutes before everyone calmed down. When one nation (probably Gilbert) asked Ludwig how he felt being hit the face, the response was silence. That silence made tension grow, so Luciano decided he would continue.

"Okay..." Luciano trailed off as he looked at the book before reading, "Feliks, who has been Catholic for most of his life, doubts the existence of God. And that doubt terrifies him."

Everybody got silent. Of course, there were nations who obviously didn't believe in God, but it seemed impossible for Feliks to be one of them. The silence was only broken when Feliciano got up. Feliks kind of tried to sink into his seat a bit. All he could think about was what his friend could possibly say.

When Feliciano approached Feliks, he pulled up the Pole by the collar. Everybody took a sharp intake; that was until Feliciano pulled Feliks into a hug. Then he spoke, and what he said shocked everyone.

"Being in that mansion made me question too," he told the Pole. "I still question Him."

Feliks' eyes started to water. Lovino sat in shock. How could his brother question God? When the nations finally got their footing when it came to this revelation, the duo released one another and sat back down, tears slowly falling from Feliks' eyes.

"How?" Lovino asked his brother.

Feliciano gave a slightly shocked look to his brother, "I was trapped in a horrible place, with a slim chance I would get everyone out alive. I was in there for several millennia. For the longest time, I didn't think I could even escape myself. Then, somehow, you were able to get in. Then you died. If He exists, then why toy with me?"

"Maybe he was just testing you?"

Feliciano and Luciano shared a look before both chuckled darkly.

"You really think that?" Luciano said, menacingly.

"I-I don't know," Lovino stuttered out, "I just know that God exists, I've seen Him."

"So have I," Elizaveta interrupted.

"Maybe we should ask the dead person..." Alister suggested.

That made everyone stop and look at Saiska, who just nodded.

"Yes," she said softly, "there is a God, but he did not send you into the mansion. He actually rarely interferes with such affairs on Earth. So, no, he wasn't testing you. And no, he doesn't blame anyone if they don't believe in him."
