How?

Romano's POV

It's raining outside, and I don't really like it. In fact, I hate it. If you wonder why, the answer is simple. In this kind of weather, I am stuck with this bastard tomato lover!

I was sleeping in my bed. It was really good and it was quite peaceful until a face of whoever it is showed up right in front of me,

"Wake up, Romano! "

It was Spain.

"Gaah! You're even worse than an alarm, you bastard!"

"I just need something from you…"

"I will give that something if you let me back to sleep. It's still two in the morning! What's wrong with you!?"

"There's nothing wrong with me, I just need a help from my cute little friend…"

Cute little friend!? What the hell!?

"So, will you get up, please?" He asked with such an amusing tone and puppy look face.

"Don't put that face, tomato bastard! I won't be affected with such a way!"

"Please…?"

I can feel my eyes twitched.

"Fine. But why the hell you need me so early in the morning..?"

"I need you to find one of the turtle…"

"Like hell I would."

I pull my sheet, cover my body and snuggled inside.

"Oh, come on, Lovi…"

Did he just call my real name..?

"Lovi..?"

I can feel my ears turning hot. Just because of a stupid-tomato-lover call my real name. It's stupid.

"Oh, please, Lovi…"

"Fine! Fine! Just stop calling my name!"

I stand up and glare at him for waking me up in such an irritating way. First, he woke me up at two in the morning. Second, he woke me up by those disturbing name-calling way. Third, he woke me up just because of a damn turtle! Even though that turtle is important to him, but what kind of person would like to search for their turtle at two in the morning, when the sun hasn't rise yet and it's freezing outside!?

"So, where's your missing turtle?"

"Up there." He pointed to the biggest and the tallest tree we can see.

"…Up there..?"

"Yes, up there!"

I don't know what's wrong with me because I just climbed up the tree to find that stupid turtle. Now I think about that turtle, is he really sure that it was a turtle up there? Not any leaf that is green enough to make him see that as a turtle..?

"Have you found it, Romano?"

"If you can find it that easy, then why don't you come and replace me up here!?"

"Calm down, Romano! I was just asking!"

"You were distracting me!"

And he stays quiet.

When I reached the top of the tree, I saw a pair of little eyes staring at me right in front of my face.

Hell, so there really is a turtle. How come Spain saw it from that great distance? And how come this little thing able to climbed up here!? I never knew that turtles are able to climb!

"You found it?"

"Yeah, I found your damn turtle."

"Great! Now bring him down, please!"

And too bad, right after Spain asked me to take that little thing down, it bit me. I yelled as I release my grip to the tree, and now I'm hanging on whatever I could hang on.

"What happened? Are you alright, Romano?"

"No, I'm not alright! Your little pet just bit me and I'm hanging here like idiot! Help me, Spain!"

"But how?"

"Why don't you take a ladder and bring it here!?"

He's looking around and looked up again at me. And he asked a really stupid question.

"Where's the ladder?"

That's why I always told him that this house was too damn big!

"How could I know, this is your house after all!"

I can see he looked panic and looking for something that is useful enough.

Then he looked up again.
"Well, then just jump down here! I'll catch you!"

"And should I believe you, tomato bastard!?"

"Trust me! I'm stronger than I looked, alright!?"

I have no time to argue, so I jumped straight to the place he's standing and accidentally drag him down with me. It seems like I was too harsh that he fainted after catching me.

"Hey, bastard. Are you alright?"

No answer.

"Hey, Spain!?"

Still no answer.

Since he fainted because of catching me, so I guess this is my fault as well. So I take him to his room and tuck him in his bed.

"Thank you for catching me, tomato bastard…"

And then I slept beside him.
