Tested Immortality Chapter 12, a hetalia - axis powers fanfic

Welcome to my mushy chapter! You know that one chapter where I give thanks to all my reader, followers and reviewers. But first I gotta put some kind of epilogue because ANs by themselves are against the rules.

ITALY'S POV - 2.5 WEEKS LATER

Romano and Prussia's operation took forever, causing the younger Italian to sit in the waiting room bouncing his leg up and down in nervousness. The fact that the whole thing was an experiment didn't help. There was a fifty-fifty chance that it could work, or end up worse off than before. Actually, Prussia's surgery was over about three days ago. But his fratello had taken a little longer to set up. He was kinda jealous that Germany already had the reassurance that his brother was okay while he was still in the dark.

He sighed and looked at the blonde sitting next to him. The German's shoulder was patched up and healing properly. But he didn't seem to be worried about anything. Not his shoulder, not his brother, he just seemed emotionless.

Italy stood up and started pacing, for the sheer fact that he needed something to do before he went insane from worry. He paced back and forth, noticing that he was going a little bit faster each time. "Feliciano!" Germany's giant hands were on his shoulders, squeezing tightly in a reassuring way. "Calm down. Just breathe." he said. "They'll be fine." The German pulled him over and sat him back in his seat.

"Are you sure?" Italy asked in a small, frail voice. What would happen if he didn't have his fratello?

"I'm -"

"Sirs?" Germany was cut off by the nurse that had suddenly entered the room. Italy looked up, hope shining in his eyes. "Mr. Vargas, Mr. Beilschmidt?" Italy nodded, his head bobbing up and down in anticipation. The nurse smiled. "You're brothers are okay and ready for visitors." she said.

Italy stood up quickly and followed the nurse back to the room, Germany following more slowly. As they walked down the hall, a small voice asked a simple question. What if I find fratello in white? White wasn't a good color to wear in the hospital. White meant death. "Fratello?" Romano was in the bed, his skin clearing up and his eyes closed. "Fratello?"

Slowly, Romano's eyes fluttered open, revealing the hazy olive orbs underneath. "Hey dumbass." he whispered, wincing at the sound of his own cracked voice.

The nurse smiled before closing the door. "Now," she turned to Germany. "Let's get you to yours."

Italy barely acknowledged the nurse, more interested and excited that his brother was awake and moving and no longer under the influence of drugs. There was still a bit of morphine in his system, showing only in his movements but he didn't count that. "You're okay!" he said.

"I'm talking you stupid." Romano said groggily. He attempted to sit up in the bed before one of his arms failed him and fell like jello. "A little help?" he asked rhetorically.

Italy came over and helped his brother up; ignoring how red his face was with the fact that he needed help.

"Hey...Feli?" Italy looked at his brother, surprised by his sudden meekness and the use of his human name. Having gotten his brother's full attention, Romano continued. "You don't think HE's coming back...do you?"

Italy smiled. "He's not fratello." he said. Romano raised an eyebrow. How could he sound so sure? "He was on the news last week. He had handcuffs and a purple eye." Italy hugged his brother. "He's not coming back fratello. Ever."

GERMANY'S POV

He may not look the part, but he was scared to see his brother. What he looked like and if he was faring well. "Here we are." the nurse said, bringing him out of his thoughts much too soon. Germany opened the door, only to find his brother wandering around the room like a curious child.

The click of the door closing was loud enough to break Prussia's intense study of his reflection in the full length mirror by the door. His head snapped up and he smiled. "West!" he said, running over to him. "Look!" Germany frowned, noticing that while his brother was indeed looking in his direction he also...wasn't. Germany stepped to the side so that he was in his brother's field of view.

"Damn...you're fuzzy." Prussia said, squinting at him. "And will you stop moving?!" he asked as he walked closer, muttering about how unawesome that is.

"He needs correctional lenses." the nurse said, answering Germany's unspoken question. "Otherwise, he should be fine." she smiled.

Germany couldn't help but give a relieved smile when he was told the information. It confirmed that the operation had worked, even if it wasn't to the expected standards. "I'll leave you two alone."

Germany nodded. He looked at his brother who seemed much happier that the door was closed but somehow tenser. After a few moments of awkwardness, Germany spoke up about the news he heard. "The man, David, he was apprehended earlier this week."

Prussia stopped for a moment in his self examination in the mirror to stare at his brother, only to turn back like nothing was wrong. "Really?" there was child-like hope in his voice.

"Yes." Germany said as he walked across the room to his brother.

"That's...that's awesome." The albino said with a chuckle. The chuckle grew into a laugh that sounded so relieved and so genuine that it made Germany crack a smile. "That's really...really awesome."

Okay...that ended abruptly, on both sides. But in a good way, I feel like I managed to wrap things up nicely. This story has the most views that took place during the WIP part of the story. It also has the most words and chapters than the rest of my stories. That means I got over seven chapters for once! I have managed to do a story with more than two POV's and it succeeded. Yay!
