Spain/Romano - Clueless detective and phantom thief

So anon wants to see some AU that involves Spain as a clueless detective, but who can be somewhat competent, and Romano as a phantom or gentleman thief, you know, the kind that leaves a letter before comitting any crime. Strategies, chases, Foe Yay with lots of UST and all that good stuff!
Also, anon doesn't care if it's Spain/Romano or Romano/Spain

Like someone already said, this fill is really charming~ I really like how Spain is still so Spain while being a thief. And a good one! I really like how Romano is also making absurd excuses to ignore his crush on the charming handsome thief.
Ah! Sorry anon, Op is busy as of now and I may be late to comment.
Seriously, only Spain would have the idea of announcing his entry playing a song on his guitar. And only Romano would be in such utter denial. It makes one think if he really wants to catch El Apasionado Caballero to put him behind bars or do something else...

Romano had never been so pathetic as to fantasize about what El Apasionado Caballero might be like in bed, but even if he had, he doubted that his imagination could be as mind-blowing as this. The young detective panted, biting his lip to restrain a moan as his body begged for release

Romano awoke as he came, his hips bucking uncontrollably. The detective gasped and bolted upright in bed. The alarm clock was going off. He smacked the clock instinctively, shutting off the alarm, and looked confusedly around the room, disoriented by the abrupt shift from dream to reality. His body was covered in sweat and he was breathing hard

But then something occurred to him. The calling card for today’s caper had been written on his face, which meant that El Apasionado Caballero had had to break into his house during the night, come right over to him and spend at least fifteen seconds staring at him close up. Knowing what a pervert the guy was, he’d probably stuck around longer than that, just watching him. Granted, Romano didn’t know exactly what time El Apasionado Caballero had written the message, but he did know that it had been after three in the morning because he had gotten up to use the bathroom at that time and he was sure there had been no writing then

Romano trailed off suddenly as he got close enough to look him in the eye. He remembered the soft words that El Apasionado Caballero had whispered in his ear in his dream, the warm kisses, the caress of his confident fingers and he went scarlet

The detective gaped, so full of conflicting emotions that he didn’t know what else to do besides stare, his mouth hanging open like an idiot. El Apasionado Caballero laughed, reached out and threaded gloved fingers into Romano’s bangs, ruffling his hair affectionately. Unfortunately for him, his hand grazed a certain curl and Romano’s face went scarlet again. The detective head-butted him hard in the stomach, sending him flying. El Apasionado Caballero cried out in pain, rubbing his bruised ribs

Romano’s face burned, his teary amber eyes wide with surprise and confusion. No one had ever told him he was more valuable than a diamond before. Not that he was happy to hear it from this stupid thief! He’d rather hear it from almost anyone else, but the one time someone finally told him that he mattered to them and it was someone he hated. Romano let his forehead fall onto El Apasionado Caballero’s shoulder in disappointment, his lips curling upward at the corners slight in a frustrated grimace

Ohmygosh, when you first expressed interest in writing this (with the roles switched), I got so freaking excited, I started stalking this request. It took a while for me to actually comment, but this fill is freaking AMAZING

This is seriously just so awesome. Hilarious and adorable and I love how you've got Romano so dumbly oblivious and Spain not even trying to hide his desire to impress him and, oh man, it is just wonderful.

The day after Romano let El Apasionado Caballero was a Saturday, and there were no words to describe how grateful he was for that. Saturday meant that he didn’t have to go in to work, which meant that he could put of having to listen to his boss scold him again for failing to capture El Apasionado Caballero again

It was a clear spring day about a year and a half ago when Romano first met Spain. The whole thing had been sheer coincidence. Romano decided to walk to work that day rather than drive like he normally did. He had managed to get out the door unusually early which meant that he had time to be a bit more leisurely in his pace

Romano had been pretty sure that he would never see Spain again after his utterly humiliating performance, but Spain surprised him by showing up again the next day to visit him and pace in the waiting room while he had surgery to realign his bones after his multiple fractures. He came again the day after that and the day after that. In fact, Spain showed up to visit him for at least an hour every day the entire time Romano was recuperating

After that incident, Spain continued to call and knock on his door everyday but Romano ignored him. All the apology letters and gifts that Spain left on his doorstep were burned with deep satisfaction (except if he left something that looked really yummy and Romano hadn’t been to the grocery store in a while. Then he would eat it, but only with the greatest of reluctance). He had called the cops on Spain twice when he had shown up at his window at night to attempt to serenade him
