With Austria

~ Flashback

"France? What do you want? Don't tell me you're here on the behalf of Prussia to provoke another war." Austria, to say the least, was rather surprised to find someone, such as France, standing at his door, and what astonished him even more was the fact that, for once, he actually carried looks of concern and worry, rather than, well...ersion, as he usually did.

"For your information, Prussia has nothing to do with this." said, France, sticking his nose in the air momentarily. "But I need to talk to you; it concerns Italy."

Austria's straight-faced expression turned slightly more solemn (solemn...?) If there was anyone France cared about, it was Italy and Romano. This was one of the few nations most of the others could see eye-to-eye on, and one of the few nations that most of the others cared about, as well, so this was obviously serious. "What about him? Did something happen...?"

France grimly averted his gaze, before finally replying. "I'll be quite honest with you... According to what I've heard, he's not doing very well."

Austria briefly pinched the bridge of his nose, as he thought for a second. "Very well." he said. "Since it can't be helped, come in and try not to mess up anything. I'll go prepare some tea."

France found himself, yet again. irritated by Austria's comments, however, somehow he managed to keep his opinion to himself, as he took a seat on the sofa. As he waited, he couldn't help but let his mind drift off to the past few weeks. According to Romano, Italy had been eating less and less lately, and Germany and Japan had started noticing changes in Italy, as well. Soon enough, Italy was beginning to turn pale, but he insisted that he was absolutely fine. Not a single person questioned him at first, until Romano did. However he didn't get much more out of him that anyone else did.

France slightly smirked. He found it kind of cute that the one who said he didn't care was the first one to see through his facade and say something.

"Now, tell me, what's going on with Italy." said Austria, snapping him out of his thoughts."I want to know everything you know."

France looked up at Austria, who held out a glass of tea.

"Very well." France sighed, somewhat reluctant. "As you know, the anniversary of the departure of the Holy Roman Empire was three months ago, and, well, ever since then, there have been some..." he met Austria's eyes. "disturbing changes in Italy."

"Changes?" Austria inquired, raising an eyebrow. "Such as?"

France contemplated his words carefully before speaking. "For one, he has not been eating properly. According to Romano, he's been eating less and less everyday. He's beginning to turn pale. On top of that, there was blood discovered in their bathroom. As much as I hate to say it, I believe there's something he's hiding from all of us, but I'm fully certain what to think myself, however, I assume it may have something to do with Holy Roman Empire and Germany."

"The German...?" at first, Austria seemed confused, and rather dumbfounded, when it dawned on him that the two did look remarkably similar. "Oh, of course..."

It only made since that Germany, being that he had so many so many similar aspects to Holy Roman Empire, would remind Italy of him, but he couldn't help but wonder if there was a little more to this than met the eye. Even though there nothing going on between the two, Germany and Italy did seem fairly close.

"Germany and Holy Roman Empire share such remarkable similarity, that it's only natural that Italy would be reminded of him, however...personally, I believe there more to it than just that."

"Agreed." replied Austria, taking a sip of his tea. "Just based off what you've told me, I, as well, have to believe that he's hiding something."

An eerie silence settled between the two, and lasted about a minute before France finished his Tea, placing it on the coffee table in front of him.

"France," France glanced up to meet the eyes of Austria. "I want you to get Germany, Romano, Spain, to come here with Italy in a week at 5pm. The other nations are invited as well. I'm going to throw a surprise party for the appreciation of Italy."

Normally, France would've gotten all exited at the idea of a party, but he just nodded, making his way to the front to the front door. "I will..."

Hungary looked over at Austria, finishing up the last of the decorations. Austria then left the room. "Dear Austria seems to be on edge... I hope little Italy will enjoy this... He should, though, since Austria's involved."

A/N: What did you think? MASSIVELY OOC Hungary, sorry. I've only seen two scenes with her. Even though I haven't seen much with Austria either. But in my opinion, I don't really know what I was thinking. Review...
