While laying on his living room floor, Kiku curled up into a little ball with his blanket wrapped all around him. He could not even bother even peek his head out. It wasn't that he was cold, he had the ability to get up and turn off the ac/warm up the room. The thing was he did not want to. He couldn't even bother to get up. He just stayed in his curled ball with his eyes watery doing absolutely nothing. He liked it that way. Or at least he wanted to believe he like that way. Kiku,the personified version of Japan, did not like socialising. Sure he always attempted to be nice to everyone (besides Ivan/Russia) but that didn't mean he necessarily liked them, He was just a polite man. Kiku was also a part of the Axis power. Kiku mostly spends time with the two others; Ludwig and Felicano. At first he did not interact with them much outside of Group training, however, he slowly started hanging out with them outside of their alliance,like when they all spent Christmas together. Kiku was very fond of Ludwig but he mainly had eyes on Felicano. Felicano was the polar opposite of Kiku. Feliciano was way more out going and out there then Kiku could ever dream. Kiku really loved that about felicano.
Japan snapped out of his thoughts as soon as he heard a knock on his door. He attempted to get up but it took him a while to do so. It took him about 3 ish minutes to even get to the door. As he opened it, he found it to be one of the axis members; feliciano. "Ve~ Ciao Japan!!" Felicaino said as he pulled the smaller man into a hug. The old Kiku would have pushed felicano off and shut him out, but after a while of knowing him he had got more use to it. He didn't hug back, but he didn't push him off. Instead,he was rather confused. "Good morning Italy,please excuse me for my rude delay of the door. May I ask what your doing here?" Kiku said, attempting to slowly back out of the huge. Feliciano, noticing that Kiku wants out of the hug, quickly let's go. He claps his hands together "I wanted to come see you silly!!" he says as he peeks his head inside the house. Kikus house was a mess. Clothes everywhere, dishes unwashed. Feliciano wanted to say something but he kept it inside him.
Kiku quickly got out of the way of the door way and put his hand out leading to the inside of the house. "Oh! Then by all means please come in..!" Feliciano walks in and japan shuts the door. "Please, would like me to provide you with some tea?.." Feliciano turns around and smiles "Mmm~ You always make the best tea!! I think it would be really good with some pasta!! Do you have any?" Kiku eyes his kitchen,attempting to look to see if he has any. "Well, unfortunately it does not seem I have any bases of pasta, would you like it from scratch" Italys eyes open in Suprisal "ARE YOU KIDDING?? Pasta is delicious in all forms!!!! Can I make with you while you make tea?? Can I, can I!!??" Italy says as his eyes close again in his normal form.
As Kiku carries the tea pot to the living room, Feliciano follows behind skipping with pasta in hand and sets it on the floor. Kiku and felicano sit down on the living room floor across each other. Feliciano was 2 seconds away from telling Kiku about how dirty his house. Feliciano fighted every urge but eventually couldn't get the feeling off. "Hey, japan?" Feliciano said,still eating his pasta. Japan looked up from his tea. "May I help you Italy..?" "I noticed that your house is quite dirty, you know, I've done a lot of cleaning when I was a baby, maybe I could." Felicano was cut off by a small tremble by Kiku. His shoulder shook and his eyes watered. Feliciano tilted his head and suddenly gets very worried "Oh no!! Did I say something wrong?!" Italy says, genuinely worried. But after seeing that kikus expression did not change, he sets down his pasta and crawls toward Kiku slowly. "Japan..?" he slowly puts his hand on Kiku shoulder.
When Feliciano puts his hand on Kikus shoulder, he suddenly bursts into silent sobs. Feliciano quickly takes his hand off his shoulder in shock. He had never seen Kiku like this, let alone show this much emotion. Feliciano had no idea what to do. He suddenly did the only thing he could think of doing. Felicano pulled Kiku into his lap. Kiku couldn't have even reacted. He layed his head against felicianos chest. Every tear landing on felicanos uniform. Felicano wraps his arms around kikus head. He plays with kikus black short hair, soothing it and kissing it. Feliciano was surprisingly doing good at this, he was even surprised himself. Kiku did not seem like he was stopping anytime soon. Feliciano did not mind. Feliciano holds kikus head like a baby. As Kikus cries start to slightly louder, Felicano slightly tilts up kikus head and pulls his hair behind his ear. He wipes away kiku tears with his thumb. "Shh Bella, please, cry all you want amore~"
Kiku can't even react to the pet names, usually he would blush like crazy, but now he couldn't even think straight. He just looked up at feliciano in tears as he wiped away his tears and whispered comforting words. Feliciano spotted the blanket that kiku had used prior to when he was not here. Slowly, felicano leaned back until him and kiku were both laying down on the floor. Feliciano grabbed the blanket and covered him and felicano. Now, they were both cuddling on the floor. Felicano big spooned kiku as kiku still cried into his chest. Unexpectedly, Kiku wrapped his arms around felicano waist. He was finally starting to slow down his crying and his eyelids became heavy. But before he could fall asleep. He had to at least apologize. "F-feli.." feliciano looked slightly down at Kiku. He noticed his tears started to slow down. Feliciano used his left hand to tilt kikus head up. "I-im..i wanted to apologize.." feliciano tilted his own head to the side. "Why? What did you do?" Kiku looked away. "I dragged you into my own issues, I shouldn't have done. I'm very sorry" feliciano kissed Kikus forehead "please don't think about it Bella, I don't mind." Feliciano twirls Kikus soft hair.
"I hate to see you cry like this Amore I want to do anything I can eh?"
Kiku finally acknowledges what feli is calling him and blushes slightly. Feliciano then looks up at the clock and notices the time, "Ve~ I should probably get going!! I know you value your own space." Feliciano attempted to get up but he feels a light tug on his sleeve, he turns around and sees Kiku tearing up again while weakly grabbing feli. "N-no..!please stay!.." Kiku says with his voice cracking. The last thing he wanted was to be alone in his dirty house. Feliciano quickly changed his mind, seeing Kiku crying again. Feliciano puts his arms right back around him. "Hehe! You're very clingy Kiki! You're silly" he says as he kisses Kikus hair. Kiku immediately falls asleep in felicanos arms. Felicano put a shock look on his face, usually he was the first one to fall asleep. He supposed Kiku was very tired of crying. He smiled warmly at the sight of Kiku like this. This was a new side of kiku he never saw. He put his arms right back around kiku and fell asleep.
