minutes—Spamano

in short, I wanted to write a combination of a bunch of pairings based on a list of pretty spiffy quotes. Check them out! :D

"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork."

Mae West

Romano Vargas was absolutely the worst-behaved maid/child/general being Spain had ever met in his entire life. Sometimes he personally thought that the Aztecs behaved better than he did. Romano swore, he broke things, he never cleaned (like he was supposed to), he never did…well anything, besides demand tomatoes and complain at him.

France told him to give him away. Prussia agreed. Yet, he couldn't keep away from the little brat; something in his actions made Spain want to protect him from anything that ever got in his way. And when Romano tried to "protect him" from the German soldiers that came to collect…Antonio Carriedo realized that he loved Romano a lot more than he thought.

Each minute that went by, Romano grew stronger, bigger, lankier. And as each second passed, Antonio's love for him bloomed into something completely different.

And on his 21st birthday, when Antonio was still 25 and Romano would probably never age another year, when his nation was stable and united and Spain's nation was free of war, he got down on one knee—no more maybes or second choices or why would you keep him, he's an annoyance—and opened up the velvet box with a few words that changed their lives forever; but at the same time didn't change them at all.

"Lovino Vargas. Will you marry me?"

And the minutes that ticked by after that are the ones Antonio will remember for the rest of his life.
