Antonio looked at himself in the full length mirror on the inside of Kim's closet door. He tugged gently on the white button up shirt he was wearing and frowned lightly when he managed to untuck it. He was far too nervous for his own good. Usually he didn't allow things like this to get to him. But this was different. He needed a job. He had never /needed/ a job before. There had always been the option of going home or accepting help from his family back home. However, now it was exactly the opposite. His family was relying on him to send a check home every month to keep them from going bankrupt

Dinner. orz, at 10am? XD

Romano raised an eyebrow at Antonio's choice of dress, the nickname going right over his head in preference of this more pressing matter. He'd never seen the Spaniard in anything like this before- well most times he did see him, it was during work or around class, but it was still quite a shock

|D;;; Sure. Lets go with that!

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio was slightly confused by how long it took Romano to respond but shook it off as just the other man trying to think of something to say. However, when the italian did speak he couldn't help but chuckle lightly. He was slightly surprised to find that deep down a part of him actually missed the mans brash attitude while he was away

Romano's Stupidity has no limits D>

[italian_honour]

Not enough money...as far as he was aware Antonio had been doing just fine. How the hell did he manage to drop so desperately into poverty so quickly? Just after he'd come back from Spain too

Whee! LOVI 8D

It was really nice having Toni back again. When he came through the door, Kim had barely let go of him after giving him a hug, hardly giving him a chance to get his stuff unpacked again. She'd also promised herself to stay away from horror movies for at least a week. But knowing her, that wouldn't happen.

At the moment, she was making pho and some tomato soup, not really feeling like any breakfast-like food at the moment. She was almost done when she heard the door, and Toni was now talking to someone. Did he say Lovi? And after that, he called her name, sorta startling her. Luckily she wasn't holding a knife, or else she might've had an accident.

Quickly washing her hands in the sink, she came out from the kitchen, and saw the stranger. She smiled a bit. " Hi." she said.

HE'S A BRAT. SO PLEASE DON'T JUDGE HIM TOO HARSHLY XD

[ooc: This icon is for you Kimmy :P]

Kim made her appearance, and Romano was unsettled by an unexpected rush of relief. Not wanting to dwell on the odd timing [why the hell was he relieved that she wasn't a 30 year old married woman? In fact there was 10 years between them ] he readjusted his stance and regained his composure, lifting his head to offer her a ghosted smile.
This girl...he'd seen her before. His brother's party, he was sure he'd seen her there.

"It's nice to meet you, Kim." To any third party, Romano's sudden shift in manners would seem quite weird, but he deemed it very much necessary. After all this was a girl, and as a proper Italian gentleman he was required to show at least some semblance of kindness.

Unfortunately, online at least, the terms Romano and Kim were on varied greatly so he wasn't quite sure how she'd respond. At least he hoped they were on good terms still.

Oh my... Is Lovi... Being NICE? 8D I'M HONORED XD

[lotusvivi]

( ooc: Yay!

IT WAS NICE WHILE IT LASTED, NO?

[right xD this and then we can wait for Toni~]

Romano was dressed surprisingly casually; jeans and a white-collared shirt, with a shoulder-bag hanging lifelessly off his right arm. Tentatively stepping into the apartment [for he was still half-way through the door] he tilted his head back to look Antonio once over again, still not quite used to seeing him dressed up.

Romano sighed and spun his body around to plant himself at a 60 degree angle in between both of them, thumbs looped very casually into the pockets of his jeans.
Leaning forward slightly to scowl at the Spaniard, it was clear Romano wouldn't drop the subject so easily.
"Go on. If you're going out somewhere you better tell me what the hell happened, right now."

Romano was not there to flirt with Kim, and so the amount of kindness and attention directed towards the girl had nose-dived significantly on his priority list. While he'd never tell Antonio about his family crisis, Romano found the man's personal life every bit his business and-as highly hypocritical as it was-

X3 Poor Toni wishes he could be treated that well~

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio watched as the two talked and couldn't help let out a small sigh of relief. When the Italian decided that it was appropriate to be nice he even managed to smile widely. He stayed quiet and allowed them to talk, clicking the door shut behind Romano and then shifted back to where he was standing, running a hand through his untamed hair

[lotusvivi]

It was nice actually meeting Romano face to face. There hadn't been much interaction the couple of times she'd been by the pizza place. Mostly to just pick up a pizza and pay for it, then leave.

Kim returned to the kitchen to get the food, her stomach was growling a bit. And she hadn't eaten pho since the sleepover last weekend. For some reason, thinking back on the sleepover made her feel almost worried. Mostly cause she couldn't remember whatever they did after it got pretty late, and she hadn't talked much to Lenna or Mei during the week. She'd seen them at school and all, but they never talked about the sleepover. Maybe for a good reason....

Shrugging it off, she picked up a bowl with the pho, and went back into the living room, eating it. Man, that tasted good now.... Smiling, she sat down in the couch. The TV was on. Some weird Spanish soap, with German subtitles for some reason. Oh, well. At least the lead actor was cute.

[italian_honour]

Kim headed back to the kitchen and Romano was left, still in the entrance, with Antonio. Suprisingly, he made no effort to interrogate the Spaniard any further. He really wasn't interested in the other's life-story, or having a deep and meaningful discussion for that manner

[lotusvivi]

What often happened when Kim turned on the TV and found nothing of interest, she just left it on, for some background noise. At least after being alone the whole week, she'd seriously needed it to not freak out.

She swallowed the piece of pho she'd taken, and looked up at Romano, before back at the TV. What the hell were they saying anyway? With a quick flick on the remote, it turned over to some action movie. Oh, well, this one at least had english actors, so she could understand what was going on. Not that she really cared much.

" Not really." she said, simply ignoring whatever tense atmosphere had occured the ten seconds she'd left for the kitchen. The pho was just so delicious! And also, she was trying to think of a way to get the two boys together somehow.

[italian_honour]

Not having much better to do, Romano sat himself down on the arm of the chair, following Kim's lead and watching whatever action movie was on.
Bullshit English acting with a bullshit English plot. You'd never find any of this low-budget crap in Italy, he was sure of it.

Romano didn't last long. All it took was a few moments for him to decide that he was bored and get up again, glancing back to Antonio before inviting himself into the kitchen and subsequently the fridge and cupboard.
"Oi, Antonio. What sort of food dya have?"
He hadn't eaten that morning, as a means of saving food and money, especially when he knew he could get something at Antonio's. He hadn't planned for the Spaniard being poor...
Ah well. Romano's attention was diverted to the row of plants growing under the sun- Antonio did owe him a tomato afterall...
