rambles abt my 2ptalia au

i want 2 preface this by saying that this is only loosely based on the common fanon interpretation of the 2ps. the au has my own flavor, and a different setting/reason that the 2ps exist. that being said, here you go!

our story begins with the ancients. the story goes that once upon a time, ancient brittanica stumbled upon a mirror. she shared it with her fellow ancients, allowing rome to keep the beautiful ornament of conquest for safekeeping. one day, germania and rome were roughhousing, when one of them bumped into the mirror, and it suddenly spat out two people! doubles of germania and rome, only with their looks and coloration slightly altered. upon this revelation, each ancient took turns touching the mirror, creating a copy of each of themselves.

the copies had been summoned into our world, and found themselves unable to return. to reassure their doubles of their good intentions, the ancients decided to hold a day of games. the ancients formed pairs with each of their copies, and they played games and feasted for the whole day, earning the copies the title of "second players"(later shortened to 2ps).

the day came to an end, and late into the night, the ancients made a desicion. their 2ps would become citizens of their respective nations, with universally protected nobility. the ancients remained good friends with their 2ps for the rest of their lives.

or at least, this is the story that their children(and grandchildren) grew up with. however, these nations assumed it was nothing more than a bedtime story, a fairytale to entertain them in their youth.

and that's the backstory!!! next up is the prolouge of events.

arthur kirkland knew of magic. he knew of the stories, which ones were real and which ones were yet to be proven true or false. however, he also knew of day to day mundane necessities.

he found something very interesting while going over his latest census data. he found a household that seemed to almost transcend possibility. the family seemed to exist not only in england, but also in france, america, and canada. after calling the respective nations to verify this claim, arthur began to investigate.

he reached out to the head of household, a man going simply by "Oliver"(no last name given).

his letter was quickly responded to with a cheerful, vanilla-scented disposition. the man, oliver, explained to him the story of his youth, elaborating that many things about him and his friends transcended possibility, but that their kind, the mirror people, had been long forgotten by time.

he also asked that arthur keep it between them, given that these 2ps were happy with their way of life, and didn't wish for it to change.

arthur accepted graciously, and soon ended correspondance with oliver, later putting it out of mind entirely.

now, we go to the actual story! just a summary so far, the ancients made friends with their 2ps after accidentally trapping them in our world, but time forgot the 2ps. england discovers the 2ps, but doesnt tell anyone. everyone got that? let's move on!

luciano and his brother were invited to a large-scale music festival by allen. luciano, being allen's ex-boyfriend, was less than excited about going, but his brother, flavio, was close friends with oliver, allen's older brother/father figure(?)(their relationship is intentionally unclear)

so off they went, and landed in america with just enough time to make it to the festival before they stopped letting people come in.

flavio quickly finds oliver, and the two saunter off to mingle and catch up, leaving the younger italian to his own devices.

luciano, with nothing better to do, decides to go find allen and pester him. after a while of being unable to locate the american, he stumbles upon the one hes been looking for, performing!

the music is loud, and the people are annoying, the whole place reeks of cheap beer and luciano just wants to go home.

still, luciano is nothing if not stubborn, and starts trying to make his way to the stage, trying to get allen's attention. he's beginning to wish he had put his foot down and refused to go.

then, someone grabs his hand, turning him around.

"hey dude, there you are!" the stranger grins. he's tall and blond, with a cheesy movie star smile.

however, one look at luciano's violet eyes and the color drains from the stranger's face.

"can i help you?" luciano hisses, and the color returns to the stranger's face, said color being red.

"uh- sorry, i thought you were someone else..."

luciano furrowed his brow. "i've never been to one of these before. if allen is too busy to care, and your friend is missing, why don't you show me what this is about?" he smirked, figuring the best payback would be to make allen jealous.

not that luciano cared what allen thought. it's not like they were dating anymore. right?

and so the rest of the night, the stranger, alfred, showed luciano around the festival, they became fast friends, if not a little flirtatious. finally, luciano meets up with his brother as the event begins to close. he notices allen out of the corner of his eye, likely wondering who tall, blond, and handsome over there is and what he's doing with luciano.

spurred on by spite and the small bit of alcohol he had this evening, luciano pulled alfred down and gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek, pressing a slip of paper(his phone number) into his palm.

and there you have the setup for the story!! luciano goes on to have a will they wont they with alfred, while allen watches jealously from the side. flavio is also dating 2p spain, named santiago, and luciano hates santiago with every fiber of his being.

siegfried is 2p germany, and he is a good boy who can do no wrong :)

theres also kuro, im sure you can guess who that is. he's a pervert and a weeb. hes a little bit silly

and also among them is siegfried's brother, klaus. klaus is selectively mute and very tired. all the time. get this man a hug and a nap.

and that's my au!!! i hope yall enjoyed it!! i'll b making more content 4 it, so lmk what u want 2 see!!!!
