How Do You Say "I Love You" in Idiot?

Genre: Humor

Rating: K

Warning: None (aside from America's excusiating obliviousness!)

Summary: Ludwig tries to say 3 little words to Alfred. Too bad he doesn't know German.

Disclaimer: I will never own Axis Power Hetalia, I am but a lowly Fangirl writing out scenarios of which I wish would happen.

"Ich liebe dich."

Alfred looked beside him to meet with a similar pair of blue eyes. Blinking a few times, he tilted his head and stared questionably.

"What?"

A sigh came from the man beside him. He looked rather flushed, like he was telling the man his most embarrassing secret yet the other was unfazed by it. Ludwig wasted so much tension for nothing.

"Have you been reading the phrase book I gave you?"

"Uhh….. No." Alfred felt a little guilty. He had gotten the book as a gift, but he just hadn't bothered to read it. Who gives a book as a present? … besides England.

Ok that was a bit harsh. He did honestly try to read the damn thing, but every time he did… he'd fall asleep. Hey! It wasn't his fault he could hardly read any of it! It was all in German!

"Alfred, you should have at least taken a look at it." Ludwig even put a little note in the back asking him to translate those three little words He had just said to him.

Another blush appeared on his face for the umpteenth time that day. The poor German had fallen for the hyperactive, burger loving, American a few months ago. He was too embarrassed to talk to Feliciano about it and ask him advice, so he'd been reading books on the matter of love. One book in particular talked about confessing one's love in a subtle way; to confess it in a manner that was not spoken, but still meant it and gave a heartwarming feeling at the same time.

Ludwig had tried a language barrier confession. He'd give Alfred a small German phrase book for him to look over. Then when the time was right, he'd confess his love through his native tongue. However, he had looked over the (very) possible fact that Alfred might not read the book at all.

But even without the miscommunication, wouldn't have been obvious that he was trying to confess his love? The two were in a lovely park in the spring time. A beautiful view of the lake accented the scene before them as the two sat on a bench looking towards the sunset. Come On! This screams "I'm going to confess my love for you." Ludwig sighed at how oblivious the American could be.

After some of the awkwardness that had appeared a few moment's ago left, Alfred went back to sucking down the milk shake he had gotten. Leaning back onto the bench the two were sitting in, he pondered the thought of why Ludwig even asked him to have dinner with him. The two had eaten a nice meal, despite Alfred's protests about going to McDonald's instead. They had taken a lovely walk afterwards and even got ice cream. Then Lud goes ahead and says something in German, making this day even weirder.

What did he even say? And why in German? It wasn't like he was mumbling it either. He was looking at him and saying it in a completely audible tone. He could have said it in English and made this whole mess a lot less awkward… and understandable.

"Just tell me what you said means, already." Alfred's impatient manner got the better of him.

A good long time passed before Ludwig spoke. Alfred figured he was thinking very hard about his next words.

"If I told you what it means, would you run away?" Ludwig was looking down blushing. He was leaning forward with his arms on his lap. His fingers laced together in anxious wait. Alfred blinked for a moment before replying.

"No, why would I?" He then saw Ludwig breath in deeply through his nose, and sat up. Alfred noted that Ludwig's gaze had a serious look to them. He would remember that face for a very long time afterwards.

"I love you."

That's It People! All my dabbles for this little series! Though one of them has given me an idea for a longer story, but that's still on consideration. Now I can work on the other things I owe to people. Yay!
I hoped you liked them! C:

If you spot a mistake, please tell me so I may correct it. Thank You. ^^
