Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia
Pairing: Spain x S. Italy (Romano)
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: PG-13
Warning[s]: Crude language
Ring
Romano goes on and on about how very stupid Germany's proposal to Veneziano was ("A fucking tomato ring? Seriously?"), but his tirade is momentarily cut off when Spain slips a ring of spaghetti onto his hand-- an action that results in some sputtering, a bit of a blushing, and eventually, a punch in the mouth.
Hero
"Yeah, whatever, thanks for saving me and stuff, now will you shut the hell up?"
Memory
Romano sometimes wonders how many of the scars tainting Spain's body are because of him, whether directly or indirectly.
Box
It's always a rewarding feeling, the sight of all the crates of tomatoes you two have collected at the end of a long day.
Run
Whenever Spain's (ridiculous) hugs and kisses and hair pettings start to (unfortunately) feel just a little too good, Romano pushes him away and kindly asks him to fuck off.
Hurricane
Fallen trees, broken power cables, eventually resulting in a forest fire-- Romano sat with Spain, affectionately telling him to stop being a baby (the death toll was low, less than twenty between Spain and France, and worse things had happened) as a hurricane rampaged through the nation.
Wings
Spain's a useless, no-good jerk, but the way he'll do anything to defend you is (while stupid) almost admirable.
Cold
They're definitely not cuddling or anything stupid like that, it's just way too cold in Spain's house and the guest bedroom smells funny, that's all.
Red
Even after the baby fat fades from Romano's face, the delightful shade he sometimes turns can still only make Spain think of his much beloved tomatoes.
Drink
It's America's birthday, everyone has had far too much alcohol, and Romano feels totally justified when he breaks France's nose after the man gets a bit too touchy-feely with Spain.
Midnight
Romano wakes up in the middle of the night to find Spain sprawled out on top of him, so he does what any logical person would do-- he shoves Spain off the bed with a well-placed headbutt.
Temptation
After Veneziano refuses to tell you any good things about yourself, you run crying to Spain, and you almost let him get away with his stupid bone-crushing hug.
View
Spain really needs to start remembering to close the curtains, as France's view of his house seems a bit too good and Romano is starting to get paranoid.
Music
Spain's heartfelt rendition of Volare is cut off by an exasperated, "Your accent sucks, stick with Spanish, or better yet, just stop singing."
Silk
Spain's hands are by no means soft, but they sooth better than the cold cloth on your forehead or the freshly laundered sheets surrounding you.
Cover
Romano walks in on that potato bastard doing things with his little brother, so after kicking the stupid jerk in the shins, he stalks off to hide out at Spain's house.
Promise
"Okay okay, I'm sorry, I won't touch it again!"
Dream
"Lovi~, did you have a nice sleep? You sure sounded like you were enjoying yourself."
Candle
France accuses you of "holding a torch" for Spain, and you have no idea what that wine bastard means.
Talent
It's really quite the skill, being able to constantly jump on Romano without him noticing until it's too late.
Silence
The lack of response that always followed his, "Te quiero," would be heartbreaking if it weren't for the blush and half-assed insults that came shortly after.
Journey
You grumble the whole time you're travelling to Spain's house, but you always complain more on the trip back, as it somehow seems longer.
Fire
For all Spain claimed to be the "country of passion", he was kind of dense at times when it came to how Romano felt about him.
Strength
You aren't an idiot, you know Spain is constantly getting the shit beat out of him by England, but even you don't have the heart to argue with his lies.
Mask
When Romano smiles, it's always a very brief, yet most cherished affair.
Ice
Romano angrily pushes Spain away, grumbling, "Your stupid feet are cold, get them off me."
Fall
He feels like a complete moron for being so clumsy, an embarrassment that is only worsened when Spain offers to kiss his injuries better.
Forgotten
You waited for a long time for the marriage proposal to come up again, and even though you were certain Spain would fail to mention it a second time, you still had your demands ready.
Dance
Though he refuses to participate in the Tango, the Flamenco, or the Farruca, citing that he can't dance, Spain knows that Romano's Tarantella is impeccable.
Body
He never found it odd, becoming so intimate with a body he had watched change and grow.
Sacred
It takes you awhile to realise exactly why Romano reacts so strongly when you tug on his strange curl, but that just makes you want to touch it even more, despite his protests.
Farewells
"Let go, y-you'll see me again later, you bastard, stop that."
World
Most other nations seem to forget that Veneziano is not the only Italy around, but even that doesn't piss him off as much as when Spain dotes on his idiotic little brother.
Formal
Spain is pleasantly surprised when Romano shows up for their date in clothes that don't look like he's slept in them.
Fever
Romano hates having to be taken care of, but he greatly prefers Spain's cold lips on his forehead to his brother's worrying and crying, so he doesn't complain (too much).
Laugh
"I guess maybe I, you know, like.. like you too-- you bastard, are you laughing at me?!"
Lies
Romano doesn't really hate Spain, not at all, though it is rare for him to admit it.
Forever
Even though you've long since ceased to live in Spain's house, you just can't stop going back.
Overwhelmed
You are definitely not crying because Spain asked you to marry him as an afterthought, as a second place to your brother; that would just be stupid.
Whisper
"Hey, psst, Lovi, you awake~?"
Wait
It'll be a cold day in Hell before Romano readily admits to any sort of romantic feelings towards Spain, but the older nation is willing to stick around until then.
Talk
You only kissed Spain because he wouldn't shut the hell up, that's all.
Search
Spain spent hours looking for the kind of pasta he knew Romano enjoyed the most, slaved away (well, France helped) on a romantic meal for the Italian, and somehow Romano still managed to complain.
Hope
While Spain's "cheer up charm" is fucking stupid, at least him being there might also entail some delicious tomatoes are nearby.
Eclipse
Spain envelopes Romano in a tight hug, tears and mumbled insecurities seeping into his shoulder.
Gravity
Whether he is jumping off of something or just leaping from a stationary position, Romano's headbutts defy all laws of gravity.
Highway
Riding on a Vespa with Romano is possibly the most horrifying experience of Spain's life.
Unknown
It's anyone's guess how Spain and Romano can stand one another sometimes.
Lock
Spain intertwines your fingers together, an attempt to calm you during a particularly frustrating World Summit; it doesn't work, but for a few brief seconds you maybe, sort of enjoy it just a little.
Breathe
Romano is so much quieter when he sleeps, he doesn't continue to gab endlessly like his brother, and sometimes Spain just likes to listen to his calm breathing, if only to have a little something to remember during the fights Romano often picks.
