Chapter 1

Lately little Romano had been in a really good mood ever since the day Spain had rescued him from Turkey. Spain watched the small nation through a window keeping an eye on him making sure there was no trouble ahead as Romano got himself caught in a lot of it and his potty mouth was never a help ever. Romano turned his head briefly seeing Spain had been watching him in the garden from the kitchen window. He flushed and pouted his cheeks annoyed at being watched and hid behind a tomato tree stubbornly making it obvious he didn't want to be stalked. The Spanish man laughed at his shyness and opened the window and lent of it with a winning smile.. "Romano!~" he chimed.. "what are you doing out there" He peeked his head around the tree

"I…I'm playing.."

"mh?.. Really?.."

Romano nodded.

Spain then raised an eyebrow baffled, Romano was never the playful type.. He didn't have any toys nor he ever asked for any. He also never played make believe Romano was very realistic and would reuse to believe in Santa or the tooth fairy as such.

"what are you playing?" he asked with curiously.

"None of your business you bastard!" replied Romano without Spain surprise. "language" he mumbled firmly but keeping his voice at a low level fixing his eyes on the boy. With that Romano eyes glisters and he jolted back a little with a shaky voice of urgent "chigi! I-I'm Sorry!.. Can I play a little longer please" Spain kept his eyes locked on the boy for a few seconds but slowly releasing a smile as if he was teasing.

"Alright but come in before the sunsets kay? Oh! And could you pick the freshly tomato's that have grown?" once again Romano nodded and darted of "okay!"

Spain didn't bother to keep watching him as he had things to do and that if something where wrong Romano would surly yell out to let him know. He stretched and started to prepare dinner first starting of with cleaning the vegetables and cutting them up into a bowl. One thing he admired about the boy was he always thankful for his food. Although he was very fussy and would only ever eat fresh homemade food. But today Romano was not going to be thankful due to the fact he was making a potato casserole and Romano despites potato's but with Romano good mood hopefully he will forgive him and eat some of it. He made sure he give Romano a small portion of potato and just extra up on the tomato's as it was one of his favourites. He pealed the potatoes and put them on slow cook and decided to lay down on the sofa to rest. He couldn't keep his mind of Romano mood change. It changed ever since that time with Turkey. It made him smile to know that how grateful he was to him. It also made him a little sad to think someone caring for him would bring him so much happiness and for Spain point of view that wasn't right.. A child should be carefree and see it as natural to be helped when there in danger. Sadly Romano was mistreated before Spain had custody. His grandpa Rome favourites his younger brother abandoning him completely. Spain sighed and thought to himself.. "If love is all he wants I can give him that.. I want to make him the happiest his ever been.." Spain looked over at the window to see sunset. As on cue Romano comes through the back door.

"Ah Romano! Did you have fun outside? I hope you don't mind but for dinner tonight we-"

"I picked the tomato's for you" Romano stopped Spain on his tracks

"Oh grazes Romano" Spain smiled and puts the basket of tomato's on the little table in front of the sofa. Romano stood quietly and looked up at Spain.

"I've been playing a game" Romano says as he walks up to the sofa to sit down. Spain picks him up and sits him next to him as he struggles to get up on his own.

"mhmm you said~ what kind of game did you play?.."

"A finding game.."

A finding one?~ oh how nice~ what where you finding?" Spain asks happily loving seeing Romano acting so meek and like a normal child.

"A special gift to give to someone I find special" answers Romano looking at his hands in his pocket in his dress like top.

"Could Romano be in love" Spain thinks to himself.

"Oh I see.. What did you find to give to this person you find special?" Romano fidgets blushing but slowly takes a deep breath and takes out a beautiful red flower that had fully blossomed. The petals where moist and was tinted with a sweet fresh spring smell. Spain gasps and looks at the flower. "oh Romano that's so lovely! Wow you spend all that time looking for a nice flower for somebody? that's so sweet roma-" again Spain was stopped in his tracks. Not by Romano talking over him. By Romano gracefully placing the flower in his hand. It took time to adjust to what this meant had Romano given him the flower to him?.. Or had he gave it too him to look after? He turned to look at Romano for answers but his eyes spoke for him.. The flower was defiantly for him

Spain touched the flower tenderly but looked at Romano with concern. "R..Romano?.." Spain stuttered.. Something didn't seem right.. This wasn't just a kind gesture this was much more and Spain was terrified.. Not of Romano.. But of what to say or do.. What can he say to him?.. How does he?..

Romano then started to speak the words Spain dreaded to hear from the child mouth.. "I love you .. I love you very much.. I.. want you.. Will .. You be my boyfriend..?" okay Spain had to admit that last sentences was adorable but this was serious Romano wasn't kidding ever and by his whole body movement and his eyes told Spain it wasn't just a child crush. He started to shape up knowing he had to be the adult and tell him straight by putting the flower down "Romano I can't be your boyfriend I'm an adult.. You're a child" he pouted

"so?"

"so?" Spain echoed a bit harshly "its wrong and against the law you know that very well Romano"

"I know! I'm not stupid!" he bite back. Getting a little impatient with the kid Spain then muttered "Then why are you asking? Isn't that stupid?.."

"I don't care!" Romano shouted getting restless and also cranky from all the work he did in finding the flower.

"I don't care.. I love you.." his voice quilted. Spain sighed and put the flower on the arm of the chair next to Romano.

"That's enough Romano.. Go to your room.." Romano lip quivered and buried his head in his arms and let soft whimpers consume him. Rubbing his temples Spain looks at Romano tiredly "Romano I'm not going to ask again go to your room and I'll call you down for dinn- "

"SCREW YOUR DINNER YOU IDIOT" the young nation screamed picking up his flower and jumping of the sofa running to his room. Maybe it was the wrong day to make a potato casserole.
