Flowers For Her .:GermanyxReader:.

"Italia, I need some help."

Those were some of the last words the country of Deutschland would expect to say to his friend. It was usually the opposite, with him saving the foolish country from absolutely nothing.

The last time that that had happened was when a snail had crawled up on Nord Italia's forehead while he was sleeping during training. He had shrieked and began racing around their track, leaving a dusty trail for his allies to follow. The poor man was sobbing his eyes out while the snail just desperately clung to his head until Deutschland had grabbed his arm and placed the frightened snail onto the ground.

Or the other time, when Nord and Sud Italia had captured Great Britain, but Nord didn't actually want to take care of him. The two brothers argued themselves to sleep while Great Britain escaped, his famous line 'I'm so hot I could kiss myself' lingering in the air. Just when Nord and Sud woke up, Deutschland came in with a paled Great Britain while Sud began to swear about killing him with a spatula.

But truly, he did need help. Nord Italia was absolutely ecstatic about how he could finally be of service to his friend. "Ve~! Ok, Germania! What is it you need?" The man asked cheerfully.

Deutschland bit his lip before saying quickly, "It's (country)'s birthday today and I don't know what to get her."

Italia stood in his kinda messy bedroom in utter confusion before replying, "What? I couldn't understand what you said."

Deutschland, in turn, groaned and let his face fall into his bed. He could feel the tips of his ears turning a bright cherry red. "Today is (country)'s anniversary, and I want to get her something, but I've no idea what to get her," he mumbled.

"...What?"

"IT'S (COUNTRY)'S BIRTHDAY TODAY AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO GIVE TO HER!" Deutschland yelled into the phone.

"Ohhhh~! Ok, Germania! I'd be happy to help!"

"Really? Dankeschön, Italia."

"No problem, amico! I'll be right over!"

Deutschland smiled. "Again, Dankeschön."


Deutschland sat on one of his couches, his foot tapping rapidly on the floor as he waited. It had only been ten minutes since he had called Nord, but it felt like hours had gone by. Jeez, he was nervous.

His mind drifted away from the matter as he glanced at a photo of himself and (country) during the second World War. (Country) was kissing him on the cheek. Both had bruises and scrapes, hell, (country) a black eye, but they were happy. A few other people were around them, holding machine guns and panzerfausts, grinning all the same.

(Country) was millennium older than him or his brother. She knew Zhōngguó and Ni Hon, and she had known his grandfather Germania. She used to babysit Preuße and Deutschland before she had to leave to fight a civil against her 2nd player, Olivia Rue.

While she was away, things had changed, and he lost his title of Heiliges Römisches Reich after an attack on his empire had rendered him dissolved while his brother, who had been part of the St. Maria Sortieren, moved on to become the Ordensritter. Ms. Pangea made a deal with the dissolved empire before he died to take on a new country instead of disappearing for good. The offer was taken, and he became the country of Deutschland. Ordensritter became Königreich Preußen not long after.

In the 1860s, while dealing with revolutions, he had run into (country), who happened to be visiting his country for a little while. They caught up at Deutschland's house, talking about the world and all of the political bullshit that was happening. "God," she'd said, "that stupid Olivia Rue's cost me so much during the war, I may actually think of forming an alliance with the new country, the Union." They both laughed and laughed as Deutschland finished up his work.

Then, in 1939, after the defeat of Central powers, Deutschland's 2nd player, Lutz, wanted to get back at basically everyone and 'help' bring his 1p counterpart back to glory, right after Deutschland and (country) started going out together.

World War II had begun with the help of Kuro, Tino, Olivia Rue, Santiago* and Luciano, while Deutschland and (country) were fighting for the resistance that was against the NAZI party (A/N: Making this up off of the top of my head). Since both countries were said to be part of the 'Axis', they were attacked by the Allied Forces, resulting in the cuts and scrapes they got along the way.

1945, the 2nd players were sent back to they dimension while Berlin was occupied and Preuße was dissolved. Deutschland cried all night thinking that his brother was dead as (country) stroked his head lovingly, just as upset that her boyfriend was hurting.

Both countries were suffering; Deutschland dealing with the big ass wall the split his country, and (country) dealing with a very irritating Britain, who was trying to colonise her country for another Commonwealth. (Fuck no.)

1989, the wall had fallen, and Preuße, or should I say, East Deutschland was back. (Country) had to leave to go fight off Britain while the two brothers waited. "So what happened while I was gone?" Preuße asked his brother. "Did you two finally get together?"

Deutschland blushed at the thought of it. "Ja, I-I guess we did." Preuße laughed and slapped Ludwig on the back. "I knew it. You always did have a thing for her," he said. The man smiled at his little brother. "It seems just like yesterday that we were playing up in the mountains with her."

A knocking brought him out of his thoughts. His dogs shot up and raced to the door, barking loudly. "Blackie, Aster, Berlitz!" The tall German shouted. Three canines immediacy ceased their noises and sat as Deutschland opened the door. There stood Nord in a white coloured shirt and green tie and behind him, Ni Hon in his usual uniform. "Italia, why did you bring Japan?" Deutschland asked.

"Well, since he knows (country) pretty well, I thought he could be helpful, ve~!"

Deutschland blinked in surprise. For once, Nord had actually used his head in a productive way. "Oh. Are you alright with that, Japan?"

Ni Hon nodded. "Of course, Doitsu-san. To be completely honest, I wasn't doing anything useful to begin with."

Deutschland nodded and stepped outside, locking the door behind him. "Dankeschön, Japan."

Nord began walking away from the two. "Itaria, where are you going?" Ni Hon asked.

Nord turned around and grinned. "I was thinking we could get her some flowers! She likes flowers!"

Deutschland shook his head. "Nein. Flowers are to be expected. It must be special!" He said.

He and Ni Hon began to walk with Nord, talking about what to get (Country).


The trio were walking through a park, when someone yelled, "Heads up!" A baseball came whistling towards Nord's face. He screamed and flinched as Ni Hon caught the ball without blinking his eye.

"Hey, thanks!" A loud voice laced with an American's accent called out. The USA stepped out into view and waved. "Well, if it isn't Germany, Italy, and Japan." He laughed and grabbed the ball from Ni Hon. "Where's (country)? Isn't today her birthday?" He asked.

The Axis nodded. "We're trying to find her a present, but we have no idea what to get her," Deutschland said. "Women are complicated."

The USA shrugged and tossed the ball in the air. "Well, flowers would always do, y'know."

Nord shook his head. "No, Germania says they're too expected of men."

USA opened his mouth to say something before another voice called him out. "Hey, Alfred! I'm waiting!" Canada shouted. He waved and smiled.

"Oh, I gotta go! Good luck, dudes!"

"Danke."

"Arigato."

"Grazie!"


The Axis had made their way to the shore of the North Atlantic Ocean.

"We don't have much time. It's already midday," Deutschland said as he used his hand as a visor.

"Si, you're right, Germania," Nord said, "but, we cannot give up! We will find your bella ragazza a prese-HEY! I think I see Spagna! CIAO SPAGNA!!!"

A tan man clad in red and gold swim trunks noticed Nord waving frantically. He grinned and walked over.

"¡Hola! Alemania, Japón, Norte Italia, ¿donde está (country)? Hoy es su cumpleaños, ¿no?"

Ni Hon nodded to España. "Hai. We are trying to get her a present, but we can't really agree on anything."

España nodded and smiled. "Flores son buenas, ¿no?"

Deutschland shook his head. "Flowers are too cliché. She won't like them."

España shrugged. "Oh well. Sorry I couldn't help." He began to walk back to his beach towel. "¡Buena Suerte!" He said.

"Dankeschön."

"Arigato."

"Grazie, grande fratello!"


The trio was now downtown, walking by the stores that sold jewelry.

"Maybe a choker? You said she likes chokers, Japan." Deutschland offered

Said country shook his head. "That may be true, but I can promise you she had dozens of them. She's seen enough metal and stone to last her a lifetime."**

Deutschland groaned and facepalmed. The three walked by a flower shop. They all stopped and looked at each other, like they were asking if this was truly the last option. They moaned in unison and walked in.

Deutschland accidentally bumped into a tall man, making him drop his bouquet of flowers. He apologised and picked up the sunflowers before handing them to the tall man.

"Спасибо, Германия." (Pronounced: Spa-Si-Bo, Ger-Man-Ni-Ya)

Deutschland blinked in shocked as Россия smiled sadly. "I see the others, but where is (country)? It is her birthday, correct?"

Deutschland nodded. "Ja. We couldn't find her a nice present, so..."

"You resorted to flowers?" Deutschland nodded. "I'm sure she'll like them. She'll like whatever you give her, really."

Россия tightened his grip on the sunflowers and stopped smiling. "Tell her I say happy birthday, alright?" Deutschland nodded. He pointed to the sunflowers. "Who are those for?" He asked.

Россия stroked the petals of one flower. "Big sister Украина." (Pronounced: Yoo-krai-na.)

"I don't like that my country likes the idea of hurting her. I don't like that I'm the one who's at fault. My boss is not letting me see her either. So tonight, I'm meeting her in secret to give her these. I just hope she can forgive me." Tears made the sad country's eyes glossy.

Deutschland frowned. "I'm sure she'll forgive you. She'd forgive you for anything, right?" A small smile pulled at the Russian's lips.

"Да. I hope so." He turned to the door of the store. "I will see you later?" He asked.

Deutschland nodded, and with that, Россия left.

"Germania!" Nord caught his attention. "Hmm?"

Ni Hon held a large bundle of pretty cornflowers in his hands. "What do you think, Doitsu-san?"

Deutschland froze.

He nodded and smiled. "I'll take them."


(Country) heard someone knocking at her house door. She pulled a knife from her belt and held it behind her back as she walked towards the door. She unlocked it and pulled it open to be met with her boyfriend. Both people blinked and blushed.

"Ah, h-hey (country). Um, I think you can put the knife away now."

She looked at the knife, then at him, then at the knife again, then him while putting the knife back in its sheath.

"Sorry." (Country) leaned against the door. "So what do I owe the pleasure of seeing my knight in shining armour?"

Deutschland's blushed brightened and he scratched the back of his neck, averting his gaze to the ground.

"W-Well. It's your birthday today, and I wanted to get you something, but I couldn't figure out what, so I asked Italia for help, and-"

(Country) started laughing. She wrapped her hands around her stomach and hunched over as her voice echoes around the house. "Y-You?! You, the mighty Deutschland, strongest country in Europe right now, asked Nord for help?"

A vein twitched as Deutschland sighed. (Country) started to calm down. "Ok, ok. I'm sorry."

He rolled his eyes and thrust the bouquet of cornflowers in her face. A warm smile formed on his lips as he said, "Happy 56,473th Birthday, (Name)."

A warm, fuzzy feeling blossomed in (Country)'s chest and she realised two things happened:

1. She had fallen in love with Deutschland all over again.
2. She most definitely wanted to have his baby.

She took the flowers and caressed the petals. "You even remembered the number..." She murmured and looked at Deutschland. He chuckled. "Ja, I did."

He grinned and started to walk away. "I...guess I should be going. Again, Happy-Mmphf?!"

He blushed as (country) kissed him firmly. He leaned in and let his eyes shut as her hand stroked his jawline, feeling the hair on his chin prick at her fingers. His hands seemed to move on their own as the rested on her hips, pulling her closer to him.

They were both upset that (country) pulled away, but she made it up to the both of them when she wrapped her strong arms around his waist and hugged him.

"Dankeschön, Deutschland. Ich liebe dich, mein stark Mann."

.:Elsewhere, on the border of Ukraine and Russia:.

Katyushka took the bundle of sunflowers from her brother with shaky hands. Tears cut paths through the dirt on her cheeks as she hugged the blossoms close to her chest. The broken country looked up at Ivan and reached a hand to stroke away his tears.

"Спасибi, Iван. Я так тебе люблю."
