Description
(Y/n) stood on the veranda, inhaling the warm air, air that smelled of the ocean and the flowers she grew near the house. The morning sunlight caressed her form, and she closed her (e/c) orbs for a moment, taking in everything- the warmth on her shoulders, the feeling of the breeze as it played with her (h/c) tresses and tickled her legs through her skirts. She sighed, worry for Antonio and Lovino ending her momentary euphoria.
Eyes tracing every detail in her line of sight, she tried to identify the two men. She frowned, and took a seat on the corner of the porch, not caring about the dirt probably collecting on her bum. I'm not sure why I'm so concerned. Lovi and Tonio will talki it out... But is Lovi going to forgive Tonio for... A smile and a soft blush claimed her cheeks. I know I've cared for España for several years, but I had no idea that he felt the same. With all of the beauties in his life, I never even hoped for a chance with him.
Folding her legs, she shifted to a position where she was hugging her knees. Romano's kitten padded over to her, and the two stared each other down for a few seconds. Finally, (Y/n) broke. "Que?"
The feline, of course, said nothing, but did step closer and nuzzle her hand, demanding her attention. She grinned, picking up the tiny tom and hugging him close to her chest. A growl-like purr came from the fur-ball, making (Y/n) chuckle. Just like his owner... Where are they?
A very unladylike screech passed her lips as a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist. A deep chuckle reverberated on her back. "Why so jumpy, chika?"
She growled, narrowing her eyes and attempting to turn around and face him. Unfortunately, the Spaniard's grip was far too powerful for her to fight. Seeing no escape, she huffed, crossing her arms. "That was cruel, bastard. I was worried sick about you."
Another chuckle came, and Antonio rested his chin on (Y/n)'s shoulder. "Lo siento, amore.~ You shouldn't worry so much. Tu cara es demasiada hermosa para eso. You need to smile more, (Y/n)."
She said nothing for a few moments, and the only sounds were those of the not-so-distant waves, Roma-cat's intimidating purr, and the breeze and it whispered its secrets in the leaves of (Y/n)'s flowers and the trees.
"Have you patched things up with Roma?" She turned her head slightly, just enough to meet stormy green eyes.
"Si... But I think he is still angry with me."
"What did you..."
"He knows what I did in the New World." His statement was dark, and it lingering in the air like a dark cloud of regret and fury. "(Y/n)... Me he convertido en un monstruo... My men and I massacred people. I murdered children, (Y/n)! Little kids! And it was all for God, gold, and glory!" His voice was a growl, and his glare was murderous. He had tightened his grip somewhat, emerald eyes focused on a world and a time that (Y/n) couldn't see. "What glory is there in killing? God wants us to love and care for each other, not slaughter each other. The people treated us like gods. We were given the gold... What was the point? There wasn't a reason... I just... I slaughtered them..." Spain's voice cracked slightly, and (Y/n) gently wrapped her hand around his.
"Yo convertí en un monstruo, y creo que Romano lo sabe. Yo no debería estar contigo, preciosa. No quiero te hagan daño."
"You can be so clueless sometimes. But that's what makes you so dear to me." She finally escaped his grasp, turning to face him, Lovi's kitten long gone. "I knew the risks of caring for a nation long before I truly fell in love with you. Believe me when I say that God will forgive you. You have a lot of power now. You should invest in that and put it to good use."
Hollow green eyes met her (e/c) ones, disbelieving and determined. "How could I even begin to make amends?"
She smiled. "Raise your new colonies like you have been Lovi. Care for them like I know you will, and you'll be forgiven."
He sighed, hope in his eyes, but not quite enough to hide the pain and regret. "But what if that isn't enough? I could still accidentally hurt them, (Y/n)!"
"We all make mistakes, Tonio." she pecked his lips, soft (e/c) pools capturing his. "You have a lot of love to offer, and I trust you. No matter what happens, I will always have faith in you."
A soft smile crossed the face of España, and he kissed her softly, pulling away before his more passionate side kicked in. "Gracias, angel."
She winked, standing up (practically crushing Spain and breaking her ankles in the process until she finally righted herself with a flustered half-smirk, and avoiding the sniggers of a certain Spaniard). "De nada, querido. Now, I say we go finish those damn churros before they get too cold. Honestly, you're such a dummy sometimes, Spain."
The brunette rolled his eyes and her and stood (perfectly balanced and with a smirk at the klutzy woman who was biting her lip to avoid commenting on how jealous she was of his fluid moves), following the young woman back into his mansion.
Behind a tree several meters away, a little curl, followed by golden-green eyes peered out. A smirk crossed the boy's face. Well it fucking took them long enough! Holy shit... I was half-afraid that I would have to get Wine Bastard's help with this. Eesh.
A familiar squeaking from above made Lovino's eyes flash upwards and growl. "Fucking squirrels. Get away from me already, dammit!" Black eyes stared blankly at the child, making Romano huff in annoyance. Crossing his arms lightly, he strutted towards the house, a craving for those churros and another of those red things making his stomach groan.
The door slammed shut behind the boy, and the sounds of laughter and cries of annoyance rang clear through the remnants of the peaceful Spanish morning.
