A/N I only have a vague idea where this story is going because I started typing it at like 3:00 am in the morning. So hope you like it! Hetalia is owned by Hima-papa not me. If I did Mexico would be a character and be THE BIGGEST TSUNDERE for America ever.

Chapter 1: Alfred? Isn't That a Butler's Name or Something

It was beautiful morning out, the sun shone brightly with not a single cloud in the sky. The flowers were in full bloom for such a lovely spring morning. Every person he passed seemed to be in a good mood. From the laughing children running off to school to the passing women gossiping about something. Everything was just so joyous, Hell it even sounded like the birds were singing. As far as Lovino was concerned, everything could just kiss his ass. Those happy people could just go jump off a bridge, he wanted to smash the blooming flowers, and more importantly he wanted to throw rocks at the damn singing birds. Why were they so happy about any way? Why was everything so happy today? He just growled as he continued to walk down the street. He especially growled at the happy couples, Straight and Gay. As long as they were happy, it just made him all the more upset.

"I'm gonna kill Feliciano." He grumbled to himself as he approched to his brother's apartment building. His brother, the idiot who set him up on ANOTHER blind date should of done more to investigate. Never in his entire life had he been embarressed like he was last night. How could Feliciano NOT know? How long had he known the guy? Two seconds? He was going to strangle his brother. He pressed the elevator botton which opened instanly. Inside the elevator was some young couple sucking each other's faces, completely oblivious to Lovino. He scoffed and just walked in, pressing another botton to Feliciano's floor. The couple next to him just continued to moan, giggle, and make sucking noises. STILL oblivious to the fact he was just standing right there. The sight made him want to hurl. The sight also reminded him of what last night should of been...God he was going to kill Feliciano.

A couple of dings later and the elevator opened with Lovino just storming out without the couple even breaking their kiss once. He prayed they choke on their own saliva. Lovino made a B-line to his brother's apartment, ignoring the various neighbors that greeted him. Apartment G-23. Felenciano's place. He prayed his brother's german girlfriend wasn't there. She would kill him for what he was about to do.

"FELICIANO! YOU BASTARD OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" He screamed banging on the door as hard as his strength could let him. He stopped to rub the side of his hand as it began to throb. There was a silence before he heard someone. Lovino looked over his sholder to see a tall man in a robe. He held a cup of coffee, fresh from the pot, he could practally smell the brew from where he stood. The man just starred at the angry italian, just stunned at the scene before him.

"What?" Lovino asked in the most hostile way possible. Making the man walk right back into his apartment without another word. He turned his attention back to the door. It still hadn't opened, but a stammering voice had came from behind it.

"Lo-Lov-Lovino! How...d-d-did the d-da-date go ~ve?" Asked the trembling voice.

"Open the door Feliciano and I'll tell you." Lovino said. A few seconds passed before Feliciano spoke again.

"Your not going to kill me...are you?" His brother asked as nicely as he could. Lovino just raised an eyebrow before answering.

"No...WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?" He growled at the door.

"...It didn't go well did it?" Feliciano said.

"HE WAS STRAIGHT DAMNIT! HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT?" Lovino screamed. He could hear his brother cry on the other side of the door.

"I didn't know brother! He just seemed gay! So I thought..."

"BULLSHIT! HE SAID YOU TOLD HIM I WAS A GIRL!"

"I-I-I.."

"OPEN THE DOOR! ... I just want to talk...your girlfriend isn't here is she?" Lovino asked trying so hard to supress his anger.

"I-She-She...uh...no." Feliciano whimpered before opening the door to let Lovino in. He stormed in slamming the door behind him while his brother coward in the corner. Lovino's face was bright red holding back his tears as he glared at his brother. He was still in his pajamas, his arburn hair was a mess, and it looked like he had spilled something on himself. Lovino scoffed at his trembling brother, wiping a stray tear from his eye.

Why did he always cry when he got so angry at his stupid brother. It was all his fault anyway. The man he set him up with was some British guy. He already forgot his name, all he could remember was the bushy eyebrows on that Brits face. Also how quick he was to leave when he found out that his date was a man. 'Damnit! He told me you were a girl!' was the last thing he said before the guy left. Leaving an embarrassed Lovino in his dust. It was so quick, so embarassing, he was suprised at himself that he didn't start crying right there. Damn he hated Feliciano so much right now. This was no time to get emotional though, he had to know what Feliciano was thinking when he set them up and then kill the bastard.

"Why didn't you ask him! Bastard!" Lovino picked his brother up by the shirt so they could be eye level. Feliciano's tears just kept streaming down his face, begging for his life.

"PLEASELOVINOIDIDN'TKNOW!KIKUSAIDHEWASGAY!SOIJUSTTOOKHISWORDFORIT!INEVERSAIDYOUWEREAGIRL!HEJUSTASSUMEDYOUWERE !"And on and on Feliciano's mouth ran. Lovino could barley make out anything his brother was saying he was talking so fast. It didn't help that he was crying harder now. Lovino kinda felt bad that he was about ready to pound his brother's face in for humiliating him on another failed blind date. He was aware his brother loved him and wanted the best for him. When he let it slip a month ago that he was starting to feel lonley, his brother began running around looking for potential suitors for him, male and female. All ended with the date just up and leaving for whatever reason. It obviously wasn't his fault if the date's his brother picked were either crazy, perverted, stupid, annoying, boring, and just wasn't his type. But the straight Brit was the last straw. Was his brother getting desprate or did he think he was? That thought made him want to have his fist meet Feliciano's face even more. Everytime the date failed he would storm over and start beating the living hell out of his brother for setting him up with such idiotic people, but the straight guy. A STRAIGHT GUY? How could he be so stupid not to let him know that he was a guy? Who does that really. This was the sixth failed date in a row and He needed to blow off some steam"...!PLEASEDON'THURTMEBROTHERI'!EVENIFHEISN'TGAYI'MSUREYOUCANSTILLBEFRIENDS!" Friends...That's something he really didn't need at the moment. He had friends, plenty of friends. What he wanted was something more. How could his idiot of a brother not remember that?

"...Bastard..." Lovino dropped his crying brother on the floor and finally let the tears roll down his cheeks. "Why do you keep doing this? Wasn't the third time a clue that this wasn't working? You idiot! I'll never find someone with all the bastards and bitches you keep picking! Damnit! Why are you so stupid!" He cried, letting everything built up finally spill over for his brother's eyes only. It was always Feliciano that was the only one allowed to see him break down like this. Seemed fitting as it was his fault that he was acting like this. His fault for not asking about the Brit's sexuality. In fact all the dated Feliciano all ended bad beacuse he didn't ask the obvious questions. This all could of been avoided if he had just asked. He began to cry harder he wiped the tears from his eyes. He was to busy crying to notice Feliciano hugging him tightly.

"I'm sorry Lovino. Your right though, I should of told him that you weren't a girl instead of just letting him go and meet you~ve. I just thought that maybe this time you would like him! He was an artist too! He likes to draw fantasy stuff or at least that's what Kiku told me~ve." Feliciano's own tears dried up and began to foucs on cheering up his brother. Maybe if he told him good things about Arthur, they could give it another shot, but from they way his brother pushed him away meant that he didn't care.

"You idiot! I don't care about that! He left the minute he figured out he wasn't getting some pussy! So why are you trying to push us together!" He grabbed his brother's sholders and shook him. Making Feliciano cry again. "Damnit! Stop. Helping. Me. With. My. Love. Life!"

"AHHHHH!!" He cried. Lovino calmed down a second time, taking a deep breath before letting go of him.

"I'm...BAH forget it." Lovino just went straight to the kitchen to pour himself some coffee or something. His throat was dry and he hadn't had a cup yet, he really need it. He poured himself a fresh cup and took a drink of it. He swirled the black coffee in his cup, It was the cheap kind that he hated, but it would do for now.

"Lovino...I'm sorry brother. I really hoped this time it would work this time and Kiku said..."

"JUST forget it Feliciano. It's done and over with. I don't care anymore." Lovino sipped his coffee. "I'm done with these stupid blind dates, they never work out. I don't know why I even I keep going on them." He sipped coffee again. What was the point anymore? Why was he looking for love anyway? He wasn't the type for commintment, he was a love and leave em' type. He had to admit he was drunk when he admitted to Feliciano that he was lonley. That's when His brother decided he would help him. When Feliciano set him up the first time with some Russian girl, he went along for shits and giggles. The second time to humor him, but the third, fourth, and so on...Even he didn't really understand why he continued doing this to himself. Why he went along with Feliciano's stupid blind dates. Maybe deep down he wanted to try? Nah that couldn't be it. It was just to humor him that was all. However, maybe this time He would finally get it that this was a bad idea from the very start. "I should give up."

"NO LOVINO! You shouldn't give up! No one should give up on love!" Feliciano suddenly shouted, almost making Lovino spill his drink. Where did this come from? "I'm not giving up on you! I will find someone you WILL like! I promise." Feliciano stood there puffing out his chest and sholders back. Lovino just rolled his eyes at his brother's attempt to look big. He was always so persistent when it came to things like love. He hated how determined he was about it too. Why did he care so much, sure he was his brother but Lovino didn't care about his brother's love life and neither should he.

Speaking of which, in the middle of his thoughts the door opened and walked in a very tall blonde women. She wore a pair of army pants and a black tank top the exposed her (at least) D-cup chest. She was panting slightly and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Feliciano turned to see her and ran up to kiss her lightly on the lips.

"How was your run Monica?" He asked his freakishly tall girlfriend that Feliciano had to stand on his toes just to let their lips touch. Their display of affection made Lovino want to puke, they didn't make him as mad as the couple in the elevator, but they were just as irritating. Lovino wasn't to fond of her, or her patato eating twin brother Ludwig and her annoying older brother Gilbert. Unlike the other two though he could tolerate her, but only because she didn't annoy him like her brothers did. She was at least quiter and much more intellegent then her two brothers. It also helped that she was good to look at, nice face, beautiful eyes, and a pretty good body. So he let it slide that she was seeing Feliciano. She wasn't his type anyway and she intimidated him with her freakish strength, it suprised him though that a woman like Monica even liked someone as wimpy as Feliciano. But who was he really to judge?

"Good, I ran about...Oh, hello Lovino." She greeted him. He just scoffed at her. "Let me guess, another bad date...You didn't beat up Feliciano did you?" She was suddenly face to face with him, glaring at him with her cold blue eyes. She knew that he beat Feliciano when his date went bad. He tried to hold his ground, but GOD DAMN was she scary sometimes. What did Feliciano see in her again?

"I didn't do anything you patato bitch." He insulted. She grabbed him by the shirt about ready an earful before Feliciano could intrupt.

"Calm down! I'm fine really, Monica. He just yelled a lot." Feliciano calmly said to Monica. She sighed and let go of Lovino. She just glared at him after that, now he remebered why he didn't like her too much, she was quick to temper.

"I see...Actually I talked to Kiku on my run. He said something about Arthur getting really upset about..the date. You didn't tell him did you?" She asked calmly.

"Well, I thought Kiku would tell him. I mean he was his friend not mine." Feliciano just shrugged as his girlfriend sighed, brining her hand to her face.

"Feliciano..."

"It doesn't matter anymore..." Lovino took another drink from his coffee. "I don't want anymore blind dates you hear me Feliciano?" Lovino said.

"Ve~ No Lovino. You may want to give up but I'm not going to!" Feliciano announced to him. Monica and Lovino both sighed at his announcement. He just doesn't know when to give up sometimes.

"It's pointless. You always pick the worst people. I'm sick of it."

"Your just too annoying is all" Monica mumbled under her breath, making Lovino growl at her. She was a smart ass sometimes, another thing that annoyed him about her.

"Monica...He's not annoying, he's just forceful is all." Feliciano added. Making Lovino cringe at the unintetional insult from his brother. Forceful? He knew he wasn't forceful!

"Come on Feliciano, there is no one out there who could handle you brother." She said calmly, making her words sting even hard for Lovino.

"Hmm...Say Monica. What about your friend...?" Feliciano asked suddenly

"Feliciano No! I'M DONE WITH THESE BLIND DATES! SO STOP IT" He yelled at him.

"Ve~ Come on Lovino, Let's try one more time, maybe this time it willl work." Feliciano smiled at his brother while just glared at him. Trying so hard not to have his fist meet that smiling idiots face.

"Hmm...You mean Alfred? Well he's more of my brother's friend, but yeah I could talk to him about it." Monica said suddenly. The two men just looked at her. Was she serious?

"Yeah him! He's nice."

"I SAID NO!" Lovino protested the idea, didn't the idiot register the word 'NO' or anything related to the word? Why did he care so much? And are they starting to ignore him?

"Well..He's a little dense...but he is good company. Nice looking, and I know for a fact that he is bi." Monica said rubbing her chin.

"Perfect, you hear that Lovino..."

"I SAID NO! STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!" He shouted at them. He held back the tears. They were ignoring him...again.

"Ve~ Lovino. Don't cry, I really want you to be happy. Besides I know Alfred...Kinda...he's really nice and I'm sure you'll like him." Feliciano put one hand on his shoulder and smiled. Lovino just stared at his brother. What more could he say, the idiot was obviously not listening to him, so what was the point in trying to fight him anymore?

"...What was his name again..." Lovino finally said.

"Alfred, Alfred F. Jones. He's one of Gilbert's friends." Monica responded.

"Alfred? Isn't that a butler's name or something?" He scoffed. Alfred, what kind of name is Alfred anyway? Sounded pretentious and snobby.

"No, he's really nice and a lot of fun too! You'll like him I swear!"

"...That's what you said about the spanish guy and look how that turned out." Lovino scoffed again. One more time couldn't hurt, right? What's the worst that could happen?

Alfred had a long day to say the least. First his car broke down so he was late for work. His boss wouldn't get off his ass the rest of the day about being so late. Then he had to cover for Arin for being sick that day, which meant he had twice the paper work he had to work on. He was suprised that he even got done on time. Then he lost his wallet while out for lunch with Kiku, So Kiku had to pay for both of them. Then he finds out it's in his car, which was still in the shop until he was off work. Even after all that, he still just wanted to go home and sleep the rest of the night away. He didn't really expect do anything other than that. He got home and sighed throwing is stuff on the floor and collapsing on his couch. He turned on the tv caring less about what was playing, he just layed back and let the senseless talking serenade him to sleep. That was until his phone went off, he opened his eyes and groand before answering.

"Yeah..."

"Hey Alfred, it's Monica. Gilbert's sister." the women on the other line said. Alfred had a veague memory of the woman in question. But he did remember Gil metioning a sister and that she was dating some italian guy.

"Monica? ...Monica...OH yeah, hey how's it going?" He asked. Now he remembered, she was the girl who almost killed him cause he touched her ass by accident, of course she realised it was an accident and didn't kill him. She even took him out for drinks once if he remembered correctly.

"Fine. Hey listen I need to ask you to do something for me. I know we don't actually know each other that well , but..."

"Hey your Gil's sister so your cool with me. So whatcha need?" He was always able to help anyone of Gilbert's family. Even if one of it's member almost killed him once.

"Good to hear. Would like to go on a blind date with my boyfriend's brother?" She asked bluntly. Alfred simply blinked. Monica was very strightfoward when it came to request. However he barely knew Monica or her boyfriend. He saw her every so often and talked to her a couple of times, but not enough to call her a friend, and here she was asking him to go on a blind date with her boyfriend's brother. Then again it didn't seem like a bad idea. When was the last time he had been on a date with anyone? Male or Female? His last relationship may have ended on good terms but that was at least 4 months ago, He hadn't been out since then. Plus what harm could a blind date be?

"Uh...well...Okay! I'll do it I got nothing better to do!"

"You will? Alright then I'll let him know then" She let her voice become distant yelling something to another person and waited a few seconds before coming back to the phone. "Okay, Feliciano says he'll set up some reservations for whenever your free."

"I have the day off Saturday. Is that okay?" He couldn't really believe he was doing this. He wasn't to big on blind dates, he had been on a couple himself but he usually liked meeting people before asking them out. It was too late now to change his mind at this point. Monica started talking again.

"It's fine. Feliciano is going to set up the reservations at Romano's...That Italian resturant down on Oracle? You know where that is right?"

"Oh yeah I know where that is! Kiku and I were there a couple weeks ago. Cool then. Huh, hey so what's this guy's name anyway?" How could Alfred not ask the name of his mystery date.

"Lovino. He's...nice...you'll like him." She said with some hesitation in her voice. Alfred raised an eyebrow to the statement. Before he could say anything she said her goodbyes and hung up. before he could say another word. Well, that was something. He checked his calender. Friday, only one day until his date with the mysterious Lovino. He began to wonder what kind of person Lovino was. He was italian if he was related to Monica's boyfriend obviously. Maybe he was a cook? Or maybe he was some kind artist? Or maybe he was a gangster? Nah, Lovino doesn't sound dangerous so that was unlikely. Then again, Monica hesitated when she said he was nice, so maybe he wasn't to far off. Whoever he was Alfred couldn't wait to meet him.

He quickly dashed to his closet to see if he had something to wear. Romano's wasn't a fancy place, but it was nice enough to consider to take a first date. Everytime he went with friends or just Kiku, he always saw young couple giggling and kissing at the resturant. Hell he even had taken a couple of his past lovers there himself. It was a place you still had to reserve a spot for and had to dress up a little for and he didn't want to make a bad first impression on Lovino. He went through dress shirt after dress shirt to find something. He searched through everything in his closet that could be considerd somewhat presentable. He found a nice pair of dark blue jeans that looked like they needed a good wash. He was in the middle of looking at one light blue shit and one maroon shirt when his phone went off again. He looked at the number. Axel, his good friend from Denmark. He just sighed and answered.

"Al! What up man? When was the last time we talked?" The Danish man said in his usual loud voice.

"Axel! Nothing much, just getting ready for a date tomorrow night." Alfred said bluntly.

"...FINALLY! Man, when was the last time you got some tail? Can't wait to tell Gil, he will be so proud." Axel said with some sarcasm in his voice. "How long ago did you and that asian chick break it off anyway? I mean after that I would of been back on the market."

"Oh not this again. Will you get off that, besides it's not that big of a deal, just a blind date. That's all."

"A blind date? Really Al? Are you that lonely?" Axel laughed. "Well at least your getting out there again. I was starting to think she broke you or something." Axel to some gulps from what ever he was drinking before talking into the phone again. "I mean why did you wait so long?"

"Leave me alone, I just wasn't into it. I don't need to get laid EVERY SINGLE DAY." Alfred said while toying with the maroon shirt. Was the color fading? He couldn't tell. Maybe he could as his cousin for help, she was good with this kind of stuff.

"What's life without sex? I thought you bisexual's were open to everyone?" Axel laughed. Alfred just rolled his eyes. Axel was always making fun of him for being "half-gay" as he called it. However Axel himself was always caught flirting with men and women, so Alfred never understood why he made fun of him for it. Then again the guy has always kinda been a hypocrite.

"Oh ha ha, glad to see you still care! Get off it alright." Alfred said. He began looking at the blue shirt. Kinda nice. Not too dark but not too light either. But there was a stain on it, He couldn't wear that. What would Lovino think?

"Fine, fine. But it is my duty as part of the 'Awesome trio' to tell Gilbert right?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way. Be sure to mention it was his sister and her boyfriend who set me up?" Alfred heard a loud laugh coming from the dane. Alfred kind giggled himself. Wondering to himself what would Gilbert do? Nothing most likely but he still wanted to see it. Maybe he should go shopping tomorrow morning for a new shirt.

"I'll let him know. We can laugh about it all night while you hang out with your mystery date? Speaking of which, Boy or Girl?"

"Monica said his name is Lovino. Her boyfriend's brother." Alfred spotted another shirt in his closet. It was purplish shirt. This looked okay, if not a little girly. He didn't want Lovino to think he was girly.

"Lovino? Your getting set up with an Italian? My condolences." Axel said before drinking again. "Well better let you go then, I got me a hot date myself! Wish me luck buddy!"

"Good luck, wear a condom" Alfred said bluntly.

"You know me too well." He hung up leaving Alfred to laugh to himself. Axel was always so much fun to be around, but sometimes the guy could be too forceful and a bit out there. He also had a bit of a violent streak, but he did it out of affection rather than pure hatred. That's just how he treated everyone. He was a nice guy, once you got past the whole 'I hit you because I like you' thing he seemed to have for himself. Alfred looked at the three shirts. He found a nice black jacket and placed it next to the blue shirt. The went well together and the jacket covered the stain on the shirt. It would have to do. Alfred smiled as he put the outfit in the closet. He couldn't wait to meet Lovino. He wondered to himself what Lovino could look like. Maybe he had a mustache? Or maybe he was a tall, tanned man? Or maybe he was fat? He tried to imagne what the mysterious Lovino could be and looked like. Making all the more excited to meet him. He layed down on his bed and stared up at his celing. Lovino? What kind of person Lovino was going to turn out to be?

A/N Hey look a Romerica fanfic! Awesome! I would like to thank Coffee Flavored Fate for introducing me to this adorable pair! GAH! They make me fangirl so much WHY? Well enjoy or not. Feel free to Read and Review. By the way, If you want to ask why I named the Italian resturant Romano's when Lovino is not the owner...*smoke bomb and runs away* Axel is Denmark by the way, but it's a nickname and Alfred will explain why they call him that later in the story.
