"Welcome to my vacation house!" Ludwig announced as the group entered
"Ve~ Doitsu, It's so huge and pretty~!" Italy said as he began to run around the house
Maria giggled and looked around. It was really amazing, on the right is a small but cozy looking living room, and to the left there is a kitchen where when you go straight from it you'll be met by a sliding window/door leading to a veranda, and straight was the dining room, in the middle was a spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor which can be seen by just looking up.
"W-Wow...Ludwig, you're place really is amazing, It's like a sanctuary..." Maria remarked as her eyes started to sparkle
Roderich saw this and he smiled, Romano shrugged at this, and blushed.
"Come now you three, I'll show you your rooms." Ludwig said as he started to go up the stairs. And the three followed.
"Oh darn." Maria exclaimed which caught the other two's attention
"W-What's wrong Maria?" Romano immediately answered. While Roderich just shrugged and stared at them.
"I remembered last time i tried to carry my luggage i almost got into an accident if it weren't for Roderich..." Maria sighed and stared at it. Roderich's eyes widened as he heard this from the middle of the stairs. Romano shrugged and lked down agrily. But snapped out of it as Maria waved her hand in front of his face.
"I-I-I can help you if you want!" Romano said while looking away
"R-really? You will Romano? Are you sure? It's que heavy and i can't bother you because you already have your luggage to trouble you with!" Maria exclaimed while she frantically waved her hands.
Romano smirked at her actions.
"C'mon, it can't be that bad." He said confidently hoping a 'yes' as an answer
"A-Ah..Well. Okay, You can help me carry my luggage, But are you sure, you aren't bothered with it?" Maria asked him, feeling like if he helped her it would be wrong, or she might take advantage of him next time she needs help, or worse use him and leave him in the dust.
Worrywart.
"I'm sure!" Romano said as he immediately grabbed her stuff and made his way up the stairs while Maria followed him.
Roderich looked at them from the second floor, he didn't smile, he didn't have any emotion at all he just looked at them.
Stop it.
It ringed in his head. That which kept him in balance. He did and looked away , walking towards the waiting German. Maria and Romano soon catched up as the reached the top of the stairs. Ludwig looked at them and nodded, signaling them to follow him.
He stopped as they reached the left side of the second floor.
"This is Italy's room, though he's not here and running around the house...! I bought his stuff and decided to show you where he will stay, just in case." Ludwig said as he left the lively Italians luggage in front of the door.
They went a little back at the end of the hallway where they were just a little while ago.
"This is your room Romano. I put you near Italy's room since i know he'll like that." Ludwig said as he really hoped that Italy would rather be near his brother so he can relax even for a little bit. Romano opened his room and went inside, closing the door behind him.
This time Roderich carried Maria's luggage yet again. The walked a little to the right before stopping at a room again.
"Maria, this is yours. I imagine that you will find it to your delight. It has the view of the sea, if you go out of your veranda." Ludwig said,knowing that the girl liked nature.
"REALLY?! WOW! THANKS LUDWIG!" She said as she gave the german a hearty smile. She hurriedly dashed into her room and closed the door. She opened it again.
"Uhm, May i have my luggage please?" Maria said peering from her room
Roderich raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
Maria nodded as she smiled. Her smile never fails to enchant the Austrian.
"H-here then..." He said as he looked away handing her, her luggage.
"Thanks!" Maria said as she grabbed it slowly and went back inside her room to unpack.
Roderich shrugged. He followed Ludwig to his room, It was just about 2 steps before Ludwig announced that they were at his room already.
"This is your room. I put the piano there. It was quite heavy." Ludwig remarked as he gave him the keys
"I know you don't like others to enter in and out without permission, so here's the key to your room." Roderich stared at he key and nodded.
"What about the others? Don't they need keys too?" He added before he went inside his room
"They don't mind, as long as their stuff stays in place. Well my room is at the farther right. Hope you enjoy your stay." Ludwig said to Roderich before heading to his room.
Enjoy my stay. I hope i do.
He thought to himself. He went inside his room and locked it. He put his luggage down and took a look around the room. It was simple yet welcoming, There was indeed a piano near his bedside. He walked over to the windows and peered outside. His view was the beach. He remembered the last time he went to the beach, It was with hungary. He closed his eyes and was lost in thought as he stared the vast sand and ocean in front of him. The times where he was enjoying the beach with.
Elizabeta.
Her name kept ringing in his head, But he knew, He knew it was hopeless if he does. Then suddenly he heard a voice.
Bahay kubo, kahit munti
Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari.
Singkamas at talong.
Sigarilyas at Mani.
Sitaw Bataw, Patani~!
Someone was singing! He looked around outside his window and there he saw.
Maria.
She was outside her veranda, spinning around, enjoying the breeze. She was wearing a white silk dress and her hair was in a ponytail. He figured she was singing in ehr native language since he couldn't understand a single word she was singing. He stared at her, she was, beautiful. She was still singing finishing her song. Her voice was like, an angels. Roderich thought, as he stared at Maria. The moment was bliss, the sunlight caught her face in a beautiful way, it was like she was glowing. Roderich then snapped at his thoughts.
Damn, Not again.
He closed his window and massaged the bridge of his nose. He looked down and sighed.
"I know, I can never love again. Not after what happened...What am i saying?! I don't like her! And if i did, why with her? She belongs to Romano. She might even like him back."
He was talking to himself clenching his fists and then slamming it onto the wall, which surprised Maria since she was just on the other side.
"I wonder what that was...?" She went outside her room and knocked on Roderich's
"Hello? Is something wrong?" She asked
It's Maria! Darn it! I forgot she was on the other side...
"N-No! Nothing's wrong." Roderich answered as he stared at the door from where he was
"Roderich?" Maria said, since she didn't know that this would be Roderich's room. She tried to open the door. It was locked.
"Are you sure you're alright?" She asked once more.
"Y-Yeah! I just dropped something on the floor!" Roderich came up with that excuse so she would leave
Maria put on that are-you-sure-youre-not-lying-to-me face, Even though he couldn't see it it was in the tone of her voice
"Uh-Huh...I'll just leave then. If something's wrong don't be afraid to tell me." She said as she went back to her room.
He knew he was lying. He felt bad. Real bad. He didn't know why. But he did. He felt lying to maria was wrong. He felt that if he did he was sinning againts himself. He felt that if he would do it. He would die of lying to her. He sat on his bed and looked down. He removed his glasses, and put his hand on his face.
What am i thinking?! Of course lying to her would be okay! It's not like we're that close! Maybe it's my concience, since i am a gentleman afterall....
His thoughts were yet again put to the limit. He sighed and unpacked his things. Suddenly he heard two people talking outside his room. It was againts his honor to eavesdrop but he was curious. so he leaned a little on his door and listened.
"Maria, let's take a walk to the beach."
"Sure, Romano, i'll go get the others!"
"N-No...Can it be...Only the...The..."
"...The?"
"...The two of us..."
"...."
"...."
There was an awkward silence between the two, as Roderich continued to listen.
"...well...?You can say no it you want to..."
"N-No!"
"...Then no?"
The other person giggled
"No! I meant! Yes! We can go together if you like, Romano."
"R-Really? We, we can?!"
"Yes, yes... There's nothing wrong with two friends going for a walk on the beach."
Fool. Roderich said in his thoughts.
"..."
"Romano...?"
"HuH? Uhm...Maria...Actually...."
"Yes...?"
"No nevermind..."
"Awww...! Come on tell me!"
"Tonight..."
"Tonight?"
"Yes..."
"Okay! Promise me!"
"Promise..."
"Then let's go to the beach now!"
"O-Okay!"
The two voices disappeared. Roderich was in an unknown state. He didn't know if he was relieved that Romano will finally get Maria. Or Jealous, jealous that he will get to Maria before him. He didn't know why. He shaked his head bringing him back to his cociousness. He straightened himself out and looked serious, and at the same time, hurt. He sighed.
"It's none of my buisiness..." he uttered to himself before continuing to unpack his things
~o~
Dinner time.
Maria and Italy cooked up dinner. Pasta to be exact. The three were waiting at the dining room. Ludwig was readig a book, while Romano seemed to be spaced out, he looked nervous, and angry at the same time. Roderich seemed to not notice anything at all. He was staring out into the distance, his eyes were a blank.
Niether of the three uttered a single word.The was none to be uttered. But the silence came to a stop.
"DINNER IS SERVED!!!!" Maria and Italy announced as they both carried a large plate of Italian Herb pasta
Romano's eyes lit up as he saw the food, Ludwig put down the book he was reading and smiled at the happy faces of the two who cooked the meal. Roderich just shrugged and waited for the food to be passed to him.
During the meal, Italy, Maria and Romano were the only ones who seem to be talking happily to each other. Ludwig just ate his food contently, while Roderich remained indifferent. He twirled his fork into the food. Ludwig noticed the uneasiness and sadness of his friend.
"Austria...You seem, to be down. Is something wrong?" Ludwig said as he looked at the dazed austrian
"...No...nothing's wrong, I'm just not feeling well... That's all." He made up another excuse. but it didn't feel wrong to lie to Ludwig. But it felt wrong to lie to Maria. That thought ran through his head now.
"...Alright. I hope you feel better tomorrow." Ludwig said as he continued to wolf down his food
Alright. What does it feel to be...Alright...?
Roderich now looked like a person without a soul, eating his food slowly, his thoughts elsewhere.
Dinner was finally finished and Roderich was about to head out when he heard the two talking again.
"So what is it you want to tell me Romano?"
"Erm...This isn't the right place come to my room?"
"Aww..I can't do that... That would be wrong..."
"I can't tell you then..."
"Awww....!"
"You can think about it this five month's.."
"Yeah yeah... I will... But if i accept, will you tell me?"
"Yes, and more..."
"Promise?"
"Promise..."
"Okay! I will think about it...!"
"Huh."
"See you Romano!"
"Okay, goodnight then."
Roderich's eyes widened yet again. He had the same feelings, yet this time, along with it, his heart ached. He was still closed to the idea that HE, a man of his word, even to himself, Would have the guts to LOVE again.
He then decided he can't take it. That thought that Romano might do something to Maria. He planned to go to his room, once Maria has decided, Until then his only option was always know both their plans.
He was risking it again. He was risking his heart. He just wanted to calm down that feeling. He knew it. He coulnd't lie to himself. It was love. Love at first sight. The moment he saw her. She once to him looked like Elizabeta, But he knew then that that wasn't the case. He couldn't replace her. She was a fragment gone forever. Who killed his heart. But after Maria? Whatelse? His heart screamed out again, while his mid rejected it. He loved her. And he wanted her. He wanted to protect her. She might love Romano back. If that's the case, he will not let that come to a near close. He was determined.
Determined to get Maria. This five month's. It was a race between him and Romano.
And the prize.
was none other than....
Maria...
