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

El Apasionado Caballero looked up at the towering exhibition hall before him with a cocksure smile. Things had been busy lately; he’d had a string of stage performances last week that had kept him from this job. It felt good to don the old thieving costume again. And he couldn’t wait to see what kind of trap Romano had waiting for him this time. He hoped it was as sexy as the last one. It’d taken all his willpower not to jump the detective right there in the gallery.
The thief was just about to shoot his grappling hook up to the roof when his phone vibrated in his pocket. Curious, El Apasionado Caballero dug it out. There was a text from France. Change of plans. Don’t bother with the exhibition hall-Romano is waiting for you at his house. Hurry.This puzzled El Apasionado Caballero. Why would Romano be at this house? He had always seemed so eager to face him and show off his new traps wherever El Apasionado Caballero dictated. Was he tired of their little game of cat and mouse? Would he demand to know his identity tonight once and for

Romano would have blushed if his fever hadn’t already made his face scarlet. Once again, El Apasionado Caballero was abandoning a treasure for his sake. What kind of thief cared more about the person who was trying to arrest him than the valuables he was trying to steal? El Apasionado Caballero was an utter failure of a thief if ever Romano had seen one. He intended to tell him that, but he was just so tired. Romano rested his cheek on the thief’s shoulder and sighed shakily

Calling Spain to take care of him turned out to be exactly the right thing to do. He was just like a dog; good at fetch, loyal, and very eager to please. If Romano wanted tomato soup, Spain would gladly whip some up from scratch. If he ran out of tissues, Spain was all too happy to run to the store and get him another box. If his fever made him have bad dreams, Spain was always there to soothe him and hold his hand. Spain would even climb into bed with Romano to hold him and share his body heat when he was having trouble sleeping soundly. It galled the detective to admit it, even to himself, but Spain was a surprisingly competent and attentive caretaker. Sometimes Romano let him steal kisses as a reward for a job tolerably done

The detective blushed. He wasn’t doing this because he wanted his lips anywhere near stupid Spain. He was doing it because he wanted to know if Spain’s fever was almost gone so he would know when it was ok to kick his ass to the curb. Romano licked his lips nervously and carefully smoothed Spain’s bangs aside. If Spain woke up while he had his lips to his forehead, he would obviously get all the wrong ideas. He’d better get this over with quickly

After a second, Italy poked his head out of the backroom and smiled at the sight of his lover. He bounded over and unlocked the door to let him into the shop. As soon as Germany had crossed the threshold, Italy’s arms were around him in an enthusiastic hug. A small, weary smile tugged at the corner of Germany’s lips as he returned the embrace

“Italy…” Germany didn’t know how to reply to that. It was touching, really. He supposed he shouldn’t have been so surprised by this response. It was just so Italy-like in every way. “But… that still leaves me with the question of what to do. Do I do what I know is right and turn him in? If I do that, his life will be ruined, but the thefts might stop and we’ll be closer to solving the case. Or do I just do nothing, let your brother keep his job and his dignity but let the stealing continue? I just don’t know

Romano stared his boss down for a moment until his eyes began to fill with angry tears. Face flushing, Romano whirled around and stormed out of the office. He couldn’t stand to be in this damn building right now; he decided that he would drop in on his brother’s café and demand enough free sweets so that he could eat himself into oblivion. Normally alcohol would have been preferable, but free things were always better in Romano’s book, especially considering his modest salary. He had just grabbed his coat from his office when he ran headlong into someone

But if he cared about El Apasionado Caballero, where did that leave Spain? Spain, who had never given up on him, even after Romano had ignored him and thrown away his gifts and slammed the door in his face a hundred times. Spain, who had dropped everything earlier in the week to come wait on Romano hand and foot while he had the flu. Spain, from whom he had, ok yeah, stolen kisses yesterday morning, and cuddled together with when they’d both not been feeling well. Spain, whom he had tried so long to force himself to forget but simply couldn’t
