OH HE WENT THERE >D

[italian_honour]

"Who the fuck are you, my mother?" He seethed, not at all appreciative of her sudden commanding tone. How dare she? Treating someone older than her like a damn child.

Being pulled closer only intensified his glare, searching her eyes in what was soon became an elevated level of disgust. All he wanted to do was go home, how hard was that?

"Let go of me," Romano jerked his arm back, restraining himself from lashing out at her, "Dumbass."

OH NO HE DIDN'T XD

[lotusvivi]

If he'd acted the same way towards Kim's Mom, she could've guessed how it would've went down. The red in her mother's eyes, and a Romano lying on the floor in pain right after. She wasn't really sure about taking the same route as her Mom would have, but.... It was close enough.

" It's really hard to care about you when you're acting like a dick." she suddenly said, before giving him..... a slap. A hard one. " You're older than me, but you're sure as hell not acting like it. Grow up a little." she said. If Romano hated her for this, so be it. But him being so stubborn wasn't helping the moods of anyone. The glare he was giving her, was only returned by herself. He was older and taller, sure, but that didn't really scare her. She'd handled worse.

" I'm starting to wonder what Toni sees in you. I wanna find out, but it's getting really hard. Whatever issues you got in your life, sort them out, cause this attitude of yours is NOT fitting for a cute Italian. At all!" she said, before she walked out and slammed the door shut after

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio fallowed behind Romano as he was carried by Kim, honestly more confused by his reaction than he had been by anything else that happened in his life before. He couldn't help but flush on Lovi's behalf even though he had no idea what happened except for that the Italian's curl had been tugged on. That was definitely something he made a mental note never to do. He slipped his hands into his pockets, half wondering if he should offer to carry the other man but knowing he would protest even in this odd state

THIS IS WHERE I TAKE A BREAK XD For now.

[lotusvivi]

It was a long time since Kim had felt so angry. But at least she managed to hide it right now. She saw Toni, and looked back at the door, before back at him again.

" That idiot doesn't deserve you..." she suddenly said, before she left the apartment.

XD

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio couldn't help but flush at what Kim said, not even able to bring himself to look at her. That wasn't what he thought about Romano at all. He could list five things that made it the other way around, Antonio not deserving him, off the top of his head. Sure, the Italian often got mad at him and hit him but those were just little things that he hoped (a little bit naïvely) would change eventually.

The spaniard sighed gently, Kim already being to far gone to say anything, and headed over to the couch where he sat and flipped on the tv. He flipped through the channels aimlessly, drawing his knees up to his chest. Finally, he turned it off, having not found anything, and tried to think of something else he could do. He wouldn't eat since he already had and his room was off limits for a while.
So he needed something else.

[italian_honour]

Romano recoiled slightly as her palm was abruptly introduced to his cheek, stepping back to clasp at the still reddened (though for a decisively different reason) skin. Sure he'd been slapped before, it had become a routined conclusion to most dates he went on, and it never seemed to affect him any less.
Especially considering this was Kim, someone with whom-throughout the night- he'd befriended, fought with and (somewhat) befriended again more times than really should be possible.
God, all he wanted to do was go home. He could have easily left the two alone, and none of this would have ever happened. In the Italian's opinion, her making him stay was her accepting to deal with him.

"I would've done that by now if I could...Jerk." He muttered into his hand, glaring daggers at the door as Kim slammed it behind her. Ah well at least she still thought he was cute.

Pursing his lips together in a disapproving pout Romano turned back to face the bed, eyeing it as he tossed up his options of what to do next. He didn't really want to sleep

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio heard the curse and he couldn't stop himself this time from getting up and seeing what was wrong. He hesitated however, his hand inches from the door before knocking, hearing the fallowing words just barely through the muffled sheets. He then lowered his hand and turned around, instead leaning against the door and sliding down so he was sitting on the floor.

"Look I'm sorry alright" he said, making sure it was loud enough to make sure that the other man could hear him.
"I didn't know you'd react like this and I'm not gunna lie and say that I don't know why I kissed you because I do. It's just..." Antonio stopped himself by biting his lip. If he really wanted to keep Romano from being mad at him, he knew listing off reasons for what he did probably wouldn't help.
The spanish man promptly drew his knees to his chest for a third time and leaned with his head against the door. He honestly didn't expect him to answer so instead would get up in five minutes and go find something else to do.

[italian_honour]

Romano definitely heard him. As much as he wanted to ignore the Spaniard with such a small distance between them it was proving very hard to do. Cursing again he grabbed a remaining pillow and pulled it hard over his head, pressing his face against the mattress in a feeble attempt to block out reality.

Unfortunately all it did was engulf him further into the constant reminder of whose room, and whose bed he was in.
But Antonio had finished talking, and the silence between them resumed again. Romano hadn't the slightest intention of dispersing it either.

2 minutes...5 minutes...10 minutes..
How long had the silence lasted? He'd wait a bit longer and...surely Antonio must be gone by now..
Accepting that he wouldn't be able to sleep, Romano crawled out of bed and dragged his feet to the door, listening before clicking the lock and creaking it open.

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio, however, hadn't worked up the energy to move yet. So as a result when the door was suddenly creaked open he instantly was off balance. He flailed slightly to regain his balance and fell back, managing to push the door open fully and hit his head on the floor.

"Merde" He hissed and grabbed his head, sitting up once more and letting out further spanish curses. He rubbed the back of his head for a moment, not daring to look back at the other man yet and letting the silence stretch for another couple of minutes. However, unlike Romano, he couldn't keep his mouth shut for this long without feeling strange about it so thought of something to say.

"Please don't be mad at me any more. Lo siento" He said with a gentle sigh, still not looking at the italian behind him. Antonio knew if he did he would probably get the door slammed again and that was definitely not what he wanted.

Excuse my while I FAIL AT CODING DX

[italian_honour]

The door wasn't slammed, per se, but it was shut quite abruptly on the Spaniard and locked again.
On the other side Romano let out a heavy sigh, mimicking Antonio's early movements by sliding to the floor, head falling to rest between his arms.
Why was the bastard still there? Usually he would have gotten up and gone about his way by now..

The Italian was over being mad...now he was just confused.
Feeling a little more comfortable now that a literal wall had been rectified between them, he finally found the courage to ask his first (and depending on how things went) only question. But what?
Why did you do it? Why me, god dammit? What the fuck happens now? This is wrong..so damn wrong. Why *me*?
"Fuck..I can't do this.." He muttered more to himself than the recipient on the other side.

There was nothing to ask that he wanted to know the answer to; He didn't want to confirm this was happening, or that what Antonio was implying was true. Because, even sexuality aside, there were so many reasons why it just couldn't happen. And while he

Its ok~ you just need practice!

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio stayed silent for another (what felt at least to him) long while. He honestly didn't know what to say to the others question that wouldn't make the other just get angry again. Half of him knew the question wasn't ment to be answered literally and so if he did it would probably make things worse, but Toni ignored that part of him

That icon is so cute <33

[italian_honour]

His head snapped up when Antonio began to speak again. He hadn't meant for that to slip out, and he certainly hadn't been expecting a response.

And god, how he was glad again and again that he was alone in the room. Sure, Antonio could feel the silence and hear his whispered muttering, but the wall prevented him from seeing the way the Italian's eyes would widen and constrict, or laugh at the undeniable return of colour to his cheeks.

Romano knew now, he didn't want this conversation. Realisation and confirmation was all too much to handle in one day.
"S-shut up D-dammit! I-I don't want to hear this bullshit!" His voice creaked out weak and forced, as he tried to convince himself more than Antonio that he was absolutely *not* affected by any of it.

"S-so...shut up already!" There was a resounding thud as Romano's fist collided with the wall. "Shit."

[mustlovetomato]

Antonio sighed deeply, burying his head in his knees. Though the way Romano spoke caused him to look up again and at least stare out into the separate apartment. He pulled his knees closer if at all possible and he winced lightly as the thud sounded throughout the room. He bit his lip to keep from asking if the other was alright.

"This is anything but bullshit" He murmured into his knees this time, more to himself though Romano would be able to hear since they only had a door separating each other. He then forced himself to get up, slowly letting his legs stretch out once more and his gaze rise to the ceiling. Ok, well he got part of the way there.

"Lo siento" He said again, not knowing what else to say. He gave up on keeping the smile on his face, knowing that he would hear the click of the lock opening if Kimmy were to come back suddenly and no one else would be around to see it. Antonio ran a hand through his hair and closed his eyes, letting the silence fill the room.

[italian_honour]

The silence and the awkwardness and Antonio's seriousness..it was really driving him insane. "Shit. I'm not putting up with this crap anymore." Hastily rubbing his eyes and combing his hair with his fingers, Romano stumbled to his feet and took a firm hold of the door handle.

He hesitated. Besides Antonio's muttering there was no movemement, no interaction coming from the other side of the door. Had devil-woman Kim really left them alone? Was he...free?
Swinging the door open Romano strode right past the other man without so much as a glance, scanning the apartment for other lifeform before making a direct B-line for the kitchen.
He was still avoiding the Spanish man and brooding, and could only hope the other would recognise this as a sign to leave him alone. After all, just because Romano had eliminated the barrier between them, that didn't mean he wasn't still feeling damn awkward about the whole thing.

Raid the kitchen. Go home. Brood some more.
It was suddenly oh so simple

THE DEVIL WOMAN RETURNS! WITH DINNER!

[lotusvivi]

Taking a long walk helped calm her down, and Kim also made a stop by the grocery store before she returned to the apartment again. Whether Romano had gone home or not, she wasn't sure. Honestly, she wish he was still there. She hadn't meant to hit him, but he just got her so worked up at that moment, she couldn't help herself. At least now she was in a better mood, and had gotten ingredients for either pasta or pizza. Toni could pick the dinner tonight, they had Chinese the day before

THAT'S RIGHT. SHUT UP AND GET IN THE KITCHEN WOMAN =D

[italian_honour]

He heard the door click and shut, which could only possibly mean one thing. Kim was back.
Rolling his eyes in irritation, Romano checked the cupboard, fridge and cupboard again. Antonio must've really been struggling; both were more or less empty. Settling for the tomato soup in the fridge, he made a move to grab it when Kim entered the kitchen and apologised.

Not that he cared. She had every reason to apologise, and he just shrugged it off nonchalantly. Placing the soup in the microwave to heat up Romano took up a position leaning against the kitchen bench- a good distance away from Kim.
