Me: Okay so this was inspired by Romano's Hetaloid version of Self-Inflicted Achromatic. I don't exactly like what the song is implying but the ending is much better than the beginning. I cry every time I listen to him sing, the song fits him well, but it's so sad. But anyway I'll get on with this one-shot so please bear with me if it's not all that good. Oh and a warning for you this will have attempted suicide so if you don't want to read that then feel free to stop now. With that here we go.

Romano x OC

The sun shone down brightly. A few clouds drifted along the bright blue sky. Birds sang their songs here and there. And friends hung around with friends. All in all it was a beautiful day, and Flora intended to enjoy every minute of it. In fact she was on her way to see Romano, and his brother Italy. They were two of her best friends though Romano sometimes acted like he could care less. Thankfully it wasn't very far from her place to theirs and she arrived in record time. Flora knocked on the door and patiently waited for it to be answered. And she didn't wait long.

"Flora it's-a good to see you," Italy chirped happily when he opened the door. She sent him a smile.

"Same here Italy," Flora said, "Hey, where's Romano?"

She was puzzled by the absence of the elder Italian. He usually wouldn't be far behind Italy in greeting her, even if he said it was just to be polite.

"Fratello said he-a was going for a walk," the younger Italian said, "But he-a should've been-a back by now."

"If you want I'll go look for him," Flora said. Italy nodded and she was immediately gone back the way she came searching for her friend. What she didn't know was that Romano had said something, something very worrying.

*flashback (third person POV)*

"Ve~ fratello Flora is-a coming over today," Italy said happily to his brother. Romano said nothing, just huffed.

"Aren't-a you excited?" Italy asked.

"Why should I-a be excited about-a seeing the ragazza. We-a practically see her every-a day," Romano said.

"Is-a something the matter fratello?" Italy asked concern swimming in his honey colored eyes.

"No why-a would there-a be?" the elder brother asked.

"Well, you-a seem upset," the younger said, "And-a I just-a tho-"

"Well, there's-a not! I'm-a going for a walk. I'll-a be back later… maybe," Romano said, the last word lowered to a whisper tone. But Italy still heard, and it scared him.

*flashback end*

Flora had looked practically everywhere, stopping people and asking if they saw a grumpy Italian walk by. A few people had seen Romano heading towards the school. She thanked everyone she talked to. Now Flora was worried. She knew that Romano felt inferior to Italy sometimes, he said so himself once. He opened up to her one night though he denied it ever happened.

Emotions flooded her pale green eyes as she continued walking. Fear, and worry the major ones. She quickened her pace though she didn't know why. Flora's long red hair swaying as she did.

'Please don't let him do anything stupid,' she thought, hoping and praying that he had just gone on a walk like Italy had said. Suddenly the school loomed in her sight. Flora tilted her head back a little looking at the three-story building's roof. A flash of beige caught her attention. She was sure that was Romano walking into the school. Flora felt herself break into a run. She entered the building just in time to see her friend begin walking up the stairs leading to the roof. She quickly followed him, thankful that school was closed for the week, allowing her to move through the hall with no threat of being trampled or delayed.

Flora pushed the door to the roof open to see Romano striding towards the roof's edge. His posture seemed to scream both defeat but purpose as well. Flora's green eyes widened when she realized what he was going to do. Without thinking she rushed away from the stairwell, and threw her arms around the Italian; hugging him from behind. She felt him stiffen and look over his shoulder.

"What are-a you doing ragazza?" he asked upset until he saw the tears pouring down her face. He'd never seen Flora cry before. She was always smiling around him and his brother, and if he were being honest it kind of annoyed him (but he also liked that about her). But right now he'd have liked to see her smiling.

"Don't you disappear on me Romano," Flora sobbed into his jacket.

"It-a would be better if I-a did ragazza," Romano said, "There's-a no one who would-a miss me."

"Your wrong!" the red head cried startling him, "Italy, Spain, and the others would miss you. And so would I."

Flora felt Romano pry her arms away from his waist. And she felt her heart quicken as she feared he would head towards the edge again. Through her blurry vision she watched him turn around to face her, but he made no attempt to go anywhere.

"Why?" Flora heard Romano ask.

"Why what?" she asked tears still rolling down her face.

"Why would you-a miss me ragazza?" Romano asked. Flora smiled as best she could through the tears.

"Well, I love you that's why," she said. Romano looked at her startled. The girl that always smiled, the one that was crying right now loved him. He'd never even thought that she'd feel that way about him. Truth be told he liked her too, but he'd always assumed she liked his brother over him.

"You love-a me?" he asked still not believing it. Flora nodded a blush on her tear-stained face. She refused to meet his eyes afraid of what his reaction would be. She was suddenly pulled into an embrace, and to her surprise Romano was shaking.

"R-Romano?" she asked concerned. Something wet landed on her sleeve and she realized that Romano was crying. He was always so good at hiding his emotions, but now he just couldn't keep it in. Still startled that he was actually showing emotion other than anger or even embarrassment Flora slowly returned the hug.

"Ragazza… Flora," she heard him say, "Let's-a go somewhere else."

"Okay," she said a smile on her face. She felt Romano take her hand and she let him lead you down the stairs and out of the school. At least she knew that he wasn't going to disappear on her anytime soon. As they left the school she made a mental note to text the others later and let them know Romano was okay now.

Whew, complete. This was a bit difficult for me to write since Romano is one of my favorite characters, but it's done now. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm still accepting requests so don't be afraid to ask for one. As long as it stays at most PG-13. I'm not going any higher than that. With that ja ne.
