Chapter Text
It was just another day of being stranded on an island with the axis powers. Italy like usual, was playing in the ocean and occasionally waved to Japan and Germany. Japan was sitting against a palm tree right next to Germany while noticeably keeping an eye on Italy. He looked like he was deep in thought, like he usually did.
But something felt off. Ever since Germany woke up, he felt this itch in the back of his mind, as if something was missing.
He searched his brain for clues from the previous day but nothing came to mind. Well except for a weird mix of emotions, mostly directed towards Italy. Anytime he even glanced at Italy he felt this burning ache in his chest as if his heart were about to burst. And oddly enough he felt…full. Which was strange since he and the other two nations have been stranded on this island with barely anything to eat. Had his appetite become this messed up because of his lack of eating? He didn’t know. But it was definitely better than worrying too much on his own hunger, if they did find food he could give more of his portions to Italy and Japan.
Germany’s eyebrows furrowed at the thought of Italy and his heart thrummed against his ribs violently. It must’ve been obvious because Japan tapped him on the shoulder and began speaking to him.
“Germany are you okay?” Japan asked with a hand on Germanys shoulder. A hint of worry in his tone.
Germany, after being shook out of his thoughts, immediately whipped his head towards Japan.
“Nein, I am okay.” Germany replied almost instantly.
Japan looked unsure by Germanys response but didn’t push him further on the subject. Instead, he let go of Germany’s shoulder and looked down at the sandy earth beneath them.
