"I'm scared! I've heard a lot of bad things about getting captured by the enemy! I heard that you might get fed England's food, or France might ask you to pose in suggestive ways while he takes scandalous photographs and publishes them for his next calendar!"
"Italy-kun, I understand how you must feel, and those ways of Western punishment are quite scary." Japan told him.

THIS PART OMG IM DEAD

Super gooooood!

I like how you portrayed Italy's hidden strong side without making it dark and angsty. You showed that he can be strong and brave when it comes to protecting those he cares for, while keeping the story lighthearted.

Why aren't there more reviews for this? This was lovely and I enjoyed it immensely. It pained a wonderful picture and I couldn't be happier with his. I know that the chances of Italy summoning courage and an attentive mind are slim to none, even with Germany in danger, but I can't help but love how he does just that. This is just- it's awesome!

Awwww... This is adorable! You were really good about the whole America-Germany thing, you really got everyone in character quite well! Sequel...? :D

Wahhhhhh, this was adorable

It felt like I was watching an anime, something crossed with Hetalia and Naruto. Boy, that would be something, wouldn't it? xD

I greatly enjoyed this and I still can't BELIEVE you wrote this for my birthday. I don't care how late it is, it's wonderful The part where Italy punched America in the face? YES. I LOVED IT. I was like 'Go Italy!' I imagine he would get just as protective if it had been Germany as well but, honestly, the inner Italy/Japan fangirl in me was just dying of the cuteness. I know there wasn't any intentions for that but that what I say and I died. 3

On that note! I'll give you some critical criticism 3
There were many points in the story where you used the full names of Italy and Japan numerous times. Sometimes even a couple sentences apart. Using that once is all right, you may even get away with it twice if it's a few chapters in between and you want to emphasis a point. Like the last sentence in Chapter 5

"Feliciano Vargas would not break it if it meant his life."

That's a good point to use his full name. The other times before (and after) were a little unnecessary.

Secondly, another thing that bothered me was you called Italy 'young'. I don't know if this was intentional or accidental but Italy is by no means 'young'. He's as old as Japan (though he doesn't act like an old man, looking at you Kiku). Out of the three, Germany is the youngest since, at his time, not even 200 years old.

That's really all I have to say for now. Just know that I really enjoyed this fic and can't wait to see more stories coming from you. 3

This was a great story! Feli is so adorable and it's sweet that they cared for each other so much. I like how you included the idea that they all wanted the war to be over and that "evil" depends on where you're standing. None of the characters were ever OOC either; the thoughts and dialogue were all very well written! Love it :3
