Italy: Huh, what’s wrong?
*answer pause*
Italy: Uh huh. I see. It must be tough to not be able to sleep. I had trouble sleeping not too long ago, too. I was having trouble sleeping during my siesta, but my bro counted sheep…
Italy: *light bulb* That’s it! Did you know that if you count sheep when you can’t sleep, you’ll fall asleep in a few moments? Would you like me to count sheep for you?
*answer pause*
Italy: Hehehe~, you don’t need to be shy. I’ll count for you, so close your eyes now. Here I go!
*Counts until 1:29. Counts 10 sheep.*
Italy: Sheep are so fluffy and adorable. Not only are they cute, but the cheese made from sheep’s milk is delicious. You usually use goat cheese when making the pasta sauce for Carbonara, but if you use sheep cheese it still tastes great. If you haven’t eaten it like that before, do you wanna eat some with me next time?
*date accepted pause*
Italy: Oh, I’m sorry! I forgot that I was counting sheep for you! I’m going to continue now!
*Counts until 2:55. Counts 20 sheep.*
Italy: Oh, are you starting to feel sleepy? Ehehe~, this is more effective than I thought. Germany taught me about sheep counting.
*question pause*
Italy: Hmm? Does Germany make me feel uneasy? Let’s see… well, he is all brawny, strict, and pretty scary. But he always helps me, he only adds a little bit of salt in everything he eats, he keeps his kicthen all clean and sparkly, and he always ties my bootlaces! He’s a serious and nice guy!
Italy: Why, just the other day I… Oops, looks like I was talking a bit too much. You looked like you were having fun listening so I got caught up. We can’t have you staying awake though! Time for the sheep!
*Counts until 4:58. Counts 30 sheep. Tired vee at 4:30.*
Italy: Vee…
*Wake up!*
Italy: Oh! Looks like I got caught napping! Whenever I sheep count, I always get sleepy. But I promise that I’ll count my hardest until you’re sound asleep!
*Concerned reply*
Italy: Ehehe~,it’s all right! Just leave it to me! Just close your eyes, take a nice, deep breath, and listen to my sheep counting.
*Counts until 7:57. Counts 50 sheep.*
Italy: 51 sheep…
*insert imaginary snoring here*
Italy: Hmm? Heey. Oh, looks like you’re sound asleep! I’m glad! Have a relaxing sleep and a good morning tomorrow. I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow. Now then, I’ll be going home now. Sogni d’oro! Sweet dreams!
