[Trade] GermanyxOC (alter ego)

Dark clouds started to move in above the streets of Berlin. The icy droplets of rain started to trickle down the old roofs of quaint houses that stood in line within the boundaries of the city; distant sounds of thunder echoed but remained ignored by the busy people walking down the wet pavements.

This sort of scene would always fascinate a young girl by the name of Akahana Honda, or better known as Celestial plains. Celestial watched the busy people from a small window where she placed both her hands down on the window pane and rested her head on both of them. Her long black hair dangled down until it reached her tiny feet which were half covered by the light blue kimono she was wearing.

A tint of light pink brushed to her cheeks as she saw Germany's reflection from the window. He was pacing back and forth near the chimney; a troubled look dominated his face.

"L-Ludwig… are you alright?" she mumbled as she tried to move down from her tiny seat.

"J-Ja… I'm fine." Germany quickly responded as he looked away

Celestial pouted and tugged Germany's sleeves. "You're lying"

Germany laughed a sad laugh and knelt down. He placed his right hand over Celestial's cheek and smiled, telling her that everything will be alright and it's better for her to rest and think less about the things that troubles the world. Celestial's cheeks burned bright red as Germany stood up and kissed her forehead, biding her a sweet "Gute Nacht…"

Months passed and Celestial has lived a good life with Germany and his brother Prussia. They were a bit of a chaotic family but that's what made it interesting. Japan would visit most of the time to see how his former colony was doing but then he would end up getting in trouble with the chaos inside the German house. "A-Ah prease take fur responsibirity for this!"

…However, good things never really last for long.

It was finally decided; World War II was going to happen.

Celestial was horrified as she watched the German army march down the streets, bringing with them heavy armory and weapons that would strike immediate fear to those who were in the way. This wasn't how she saw Germany… this wasn't him at all.

"Gilbert! Gilbert!" Celestial shouted as her small figure tried to make its way into the crowd that blocked the leaders of the German army from the main streets of the city.

"Oi! Akahana! What are you doing here!?" Prussia shouted as he ran to meet the small girl

"Gilbert! Please… what's going on!? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?" Celestial desperately asked as her voice started to crack and tears streamed down from her brown eyes.

Prussia felt sorry for having Celestial witness such a tragic fate that the nations have to face. He decided to take her to a private place and remove her from all the cheers and commotion that's going on in the plaza.

"Look… Hana…" Prussia started as he swept the tears from the young girl's eyes. "Mein little bruder decided to do this… together with our boss. I really have no idea what's going on so why don't you ask him yourself? Maybe he'll answer to you…"

Celestial felt so confused but had no choice but to nod at what Prussia suggested. She watched as Prussia turned his back and mouth the words "Just trust in the awesome me!" and continued to walk into the event in the plaza.

"Ludwig's not like that… he can't be…" she mumbled to herself

Determined to know the truth, Celestial stormed into Germany's office. Celestial was so convinced that a person like Germany wouldn't dare to do something as terrible as this and she had to hear it from his mouth but the guards didn't allow her to and easily carried her out. There was just no way that the guards would let her in now, the war is about to begin and the preparations are quite heavy for the country.

5 months passed, Celestial still didn't have the chance to talk to Germany. Every single day she would try to sneak in but to no avail. The poor girl almost gave up and kept on crying in Japan's arms as the elder nation tried to lull her to sleep.

"Hush now Celestial…"

"…he… wouldn't… do that… right?"

"…"

It was early in the morning when Celestial woke up with tears brimming from her eyes. The young girl was trapped in a nightmare again and Italy had to shake her several times just to get her to wake up.

"Veh… you really scared me to death!"

Celestial remained silent and stared at her shaking hands. Her tears won't stop and her trembling keeps on getting worse as the minutes pass by.

"Feliciano!" Celestial shouted as she grabbed Italy's coat "P-Please… you have to bring me to Germany… please… I'm begging you! I'll do anything!"

"B-but Hana… You're not allowed to see Germany after that… well commotion in his office…" Italy answered as he tried to calm the little girl down

"N-no! Please! He's not himself Feliciano! You have to believe me! Please! I need to talk to him!" Celestial continued to plead as her grip on Italy's coat became tighter

The poor Italian felt Celestial's pain and hesitantly nodded. As soon as Celestial got herself ready, the two left Germany's house and headed to his office. Unfortunately for the two nations, Germany wasn't there.

"I'm sorry bella… Germany must be off somewhere" Italy said in apology

Celestial lowered her head and covered her ears as she collapsed to the ground. The sounds of fighter planes and bombs caused her to be more confused and scared. Italy quickly embraced the young girl and tried to calm her down, accidentally slipping the information that Germany might be in one of his camps.

"Feli! You're a genius! Of course he's there!" Celestial squeaked as she gave Italy a light peck on the cheek

Italy's eyes widened as he realized he just led Celestial into something dangerous. The Italian nervously argued as he tried to convince Celestial to snap out of her idea "A-AH! N-NO! If you go there Germany will surely-"

"Grazie!" Celestial cut him off and thanked him as she forced herself out of Italy's arms and ran away

"Veh… this is not good… not good at all" Italy whispered to himself

Celestial struggled to get past the huge debris that blocked the streets of Germany. The extreme destruction around her caused her eyes to water. Fire was everywhere and the heavy smoke made it difficult for her to navigate around the city not to mention the falling debris from the crumbling buildings made it more dangerous for her.

After some time, Celestial finally reached on of the main camps of Germany. She has heard a lot of terrible rumors about the place and it honestly scared her but she wasn't going to allow those rumors to draw her away from hearing the truth from Germany himself. With all the remaining guts and strength left in her, Celestial sneaked into the camp through a small opening that she made for herself. She tried to move as much blocks as possible for her tiny body to fit in.

Celestial was finally in. She dusted off some of the crumbs of soil that clung to her kimono and dashed off to the nearest room she can find. Being small and unnoticeable was really her advantage this time; no one saw her crawling through the rooms and this sort of gave her confidence that she will find Germany in no time.

Suddenly, a familiar voice ringed through the hallways

"Eh? That sounds like Ludwig…"

With only voices leading her way, Celestial crawled through the floor and kept on dashing to places where she can't be easily found. The man's voice finally disappeared into what seems to be a basement. Fear struck the young girl's heart and it kept on pounding heavily.

"MEIN GOTT! YOU VILL NEVER GET AWAY VITH DIZ" screamed a voice that came downstairs

"I already have… it vould be better if you just sit there" answered another voice that seemed to be strikingly similar to the voice that screamed earlier.

Curiosity got the better of Celestial and made her look down the basement. To her surprise there were two blonde men with slick hair and wearing a German military uniform; the other one was standing right in front of another who was tied to a chair.  "T-two Germanys!?" Celestial gasped as she peaked from the end of the staircase

The two continued to argue about the matters of the war. Apparently the man tied to a chair was strongly against the idea of the World war; he kept on wriggling and moving as if he had any chance of getting the ropes loose. 'I knew it… Germany would never do such a thing like this… but who is he?'

Suddenly, Celestial noticed that the other Germany was going to move upstairs and instantly panic conquered her. She slipped from one of the steps which caused her to squeak at the same time a huge force tugged the back of her neckline and forced her backwards.

"L-LET GO!" Celestial screamed as she tried to release herself from the tight grip

"VERDAMMT! LET HER GO!" the tied Germany screamed as he desperately tried to remove himself from the ropes that held him back

The darker Germany smirked and threw Celestial to the ground. The young girl whimpered and tried to get herself up but the dark Germany stepped on her back which caused her body to slam hard against the floor. He then pulled her hair and mischievously looked at the real Germany. "I hear you've had a liking for zis little brat… is zat right?"

A tint of light pink crossed Germany's cheeks as he looked away. The darker Germany laughed and proceeded on torturing Germany and Celestial by making them see each other suffer. It wasn't long enough when the darker Germany was done playing his games and left Celestial bleeding to death and Germany crying his eyes out.

"L-Ludwig… I'm… I'm so ha-happy…" Celestial smiled as blood ran through her forehead

"Y-you… VHY ARE YOU SAYING ZAT!?" Germany angrily shouted as more tears streamed down his cheeks

"Is.. is it true? Do you really… like me?"

Germany stopped for a moment and stared at Celestial's innocent eyes. Her intention was so pure it made her eyes sparkle and her smile, which was a bit broken, influence him to smile as well. The German nodded and confessed…

"Ja…"

"I-Ich.. Ich Liebe… liebe dich.. Ludwig…" Celestial murmured as she tried to reach for the ropes and untied it.

As soon as Celestial drained her last drops of strength in freeing Germany, the young girl fell unconscious into Germany's arms.

"C-Celestial!"  Germany exclaimed as he looked at the fallen figure that was now lying in his arms



"Ich liebe dich auch... I promise... no one will ever do this to you again..."
