Summary: Germany wonders why Italy stopped going for gelato with him after training…
Getting Italy to cooperate, Germany discovered, was as easy as offering to buy him some gelato. All he had to do was mention the word and his little buddy was willing to train hard and then some. Germany, however, stubbornly refused to take advantage of that fact, preferring instead, to go for gelato only when Italy suggested it.
Germany found it amazing how well their training sessions were going lately. Italy was really working hard to get in shape, doing everything he asked and then some. It was only when he offered to go take him out for gelato and Italy refused, that Germany had a feeling something was up. He frowned and taking off a glove, he shook his hand a few times.
“Ve… Germany?” Italy blinked.
Germany held the back of his hand up against his cheek, before moving it to Italy’s forehead. His frown deepened and he pulled off his other glove with his teeth, eliciting a soft sigh from his little buddy. Repeating his earlier movements, Germany left his one hand against his cheek, while checking Italy’s forehead for excessive warmth with the other. “Are you alright?” he finally asked.
“Yeah… why?” Italy frowned too.
“I thought maybe you were sick because this is the third time you’ve turned down gelato.”
“Oh! I’m not sick, Germany. Sorry if I worried you, but Prussia told me too much gelato was making you fat.”
Germany blinked, his features contorting into a scowl. “He did, hunh?”
Italy nodded. “So I decided that I won’t make Germany fat and I just go out after training for gelato with Prussia.” He beamed at his best friend.
“Thank you, but you don’t have to worry about that,” Germany said, his scowl softening into a smile. “Shall we go get some gelato?”
“Okay!”
