Summary: HRE has a crush on Chibitalia…



Holy Roman Empire did not need Herr Austria’s insistence that he cooperate and be patient when it came to the cute little maid, Chibitalia. No matter how many silly things she did, he found he had infinite patience when it came to her. They were roughly the same age and she genuinely wanted to be his friend unlike everyone else, who seemed more interested in what he could do for them. Holy Roman Empire may have been young, but he was not stupid.

Somehow his friendship with the little maid, Chibitalia, had blossomed into something more, although Holy Roman Empire was loathed to admit it. He stubbornly clung to his delusions, telling himself the only reason he was willing to do whatever she wanted, was because that was what friends did. Besides, he hated seeing her cry, so if sitting there, painting stupid flowers would make her happy, Holy Roman Empire would have painted her a whole meadow full of them. Unfortunately, he lacked her skills when it came to painting. And yet, no matter how poorly one of his paintings turned out, she would praise it as if it were fine art. Cheeks burning, he would rush from her presence, unable to deal with his feelings for her.

Unable to remain away from her for long, Holy Roman Empire would find himself wandering the halls. His peace of mind was disrupted as he imagined what she could be up to. Invariably he would find her in trouble and like a knight in some old French fairytale, he would come charging up and rescue her. His only reward one of her sweet smiles and her humble thanks and somehow that was better than all the gold in the world and his empire…

Summary: HRE rescues Chibitalia…

For Jen, who said Chibitalia probably gets HRE very excited

Holy Roman Empire sighed, his best friend, the little maid Chibitalia, had gotten herself in trouble again. Somehow she had managed to tumble head first into a large chest and was stuck, her frantic cries disturbing the peace until he came running. They both knew he would help her, but he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to tear his gaze away from her bloomers. To make matters worse, he had the now all too familiar bulge in his pants, his body stubbornly refusing to cooperate and cease all lustful activities in her presence.

Willing himself to move, he hurried towards her. “Hold on, I’ll be right there,” he said, mentally berating himself when his voice stupidly cracked.

“Thank you!” she said softly, her voice sounding funny as it echoed inside the chest. “Please hurry! I feel faint!”

Holy Roman Empire panicked and took hold of her bloomers and tugged, hoping to dislodge Chibitalia into his waiting arms. Unfortunately, all that did was pull them down, giving him an eyeful of he pert little bottom. Blushing deeply, Holy Roman Empire closed his eyes and swallowed. Muttering a soft “forgive me,” he put his hands on her hips and pulled. They both tumbled backwards, Chibitalia landing painfully on his bulge. Holy Roman Empire bit back a groan when she scooted around to face him, grinding her pert little bottom against him.

Chibitalia leaned forward. “Are you alright?”

Holy Roman Empire nodded and when she smiled he felt his cheeks heating up.

She giggled. “Your face is all red.”

Holy Roman Empire looked away.

“And this time you can’t escape.” Chibitalia giggled again and kissed his cheek. “Thank you!” She scampered off.

Holy Roman Empire lay there, amazed. She really does like me! He slowly got up and walked away…

Summary: HRE paints a picture for Chibitalia…



Holy Roma Empire looked at his painting and sighed. His mind was willing, but his hand stubbornly refused to cooperate and the picture of the bunny he was painting for his friend, Chibitalia, looked awful in his humble opinion. He wanted to scream in frustration, but his sense of decorum refused to let him disturb the quiet peace of the morning and scare the poor rabbit in the process.

Determined to get it right, he continued painting. While he knew she would love it even if he splashed paint all over the canvas, he wanted just once to paint a rabbit that actually looked like one for her. Holy Roma Empire treasured the painting of the bunny she had given him, and knowing how much she loved that rabbit, he wanted to do the same for her.

At least the rabbit is cooperating by staying still… Why can’t my hand be that good? he thought miserably. Just when things could not get any worse, she came up behind him and had a look at his painting.

“E ‘bellissima!” Chibitalia cried, startling the rabbit.

Holy Roman Empire blushed. “No it’s not!”

“But it is!!” Chibitalia started to cry over the emotion she saw in his work.

Flustered over her tears, Holy Roman Empire did not know what to do. He wanted to flee, instead, he simply reached out and patted her shoulder. “There, there...”

Chibitalia threw herself into his arms and cried her heart out.

“Chibitalia...?”

“I’m sorry...” She hiccupped.

“It’s okay...” He held her close. It was like a dream came true and he wanted the moment to last forever.

Pulling herself together, Chibitalia stepped back.

“You like my painting?”

Chibitalia, wiping away her tears, nodded.

“Then it’s yours.”

“Thanks!” She hugged him.

“You’re welcome...” He tentatively hugged her back...
