ahh hello good readers~ this is my first hetalia(and most likely only) fiction. i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoy writing it ^^ and i'm sorry if i made mistakes, i've been rereading the documents on my computer but i can't be 100% positive it's perfect. and all translations would be from google translate .w.; i'm only learning spanish so if anyone notices mistakes, please tell me. i'm still working on a title, but until i manage to find a decent one(suggestions are welcome~) it shall be called...Miscellaneous Mafia Business!

All characters co. to APHetalia and it's creators, I own nothing except the story

"Mornin', Feli. Gimme a coffee will ya?" I shrugged off my expensive over coat and rested it on the back of the stool I took a seat at. Ugh, I'm tired as shit. Worked a late night. Doing what? You don't necessarily need to know. Nothin' important... Name's Lovino Vargas, Italian mafia don.

Shit, why'd I just tell you that? Damnit...

"Ve~ No problem, fratello!"

Ladies and gentlemen, my younger brother; Feli. Yes, thats his name. No, not his full name. And no, you don't need to know his full name. That would jepordize his safety.

...Not that I care or anything, 'cause that would be stupid. Even though, me telling you my name was pretty damn dense. Let alone my area of work.

"Grazie, how's business? Oh, and make it three sugars, per favore?" Yes, I know how to make small talk with my stupid younger brother. Shut up.

"Ve~ Pretty nice, Elizibeta called yesterday. She and Roderich are expecting! Isn't that great?" I nodded half heartedly and watched Feli expertly balance two large trays full of breakfast like food on his forearms and carry- scratch that- dance to his waiting customers. It's fucking nine in the morning and he can prance around like that?

Fucking fairy... If we weren't identical I would swear on my mother's grave he was adopted.

"So do you think it will be a boy or a girl? Vee~ I hope its a boy so we can teach him boy stuff!" I rolled my eyes at him, he just kept on chatting away and inserting his weird, trade mark 've~' every so often. The subject didn't do much for me. Roderich and I aren't on the best of terms, he is such a pansy ass! I swear its Elizibeta who wears the pants and picks the color. But I like Elizibeta, she was a good friend of mine and Feli's father. I think she worked for him at some point... Eh who gives a shit, amirite?

Done with serving his customers, Feli raced back behind the counter and set up the coffee machine. Not sure if you've noticed, but Feli here own's the best damn diner Italia has to offer. So suck it. Ha.

"Yeah, next time she calls tell her I said congrats. So is she carrying the baby or is Roderich?" I used my extra sarcastic tone so Feli would know I was joking. But I like making fun of that pansy. Feli turned around and frowned at me. Its so weird having him frown... Especially at me! He smiles all the time, its like the freaking apocolypse when he's not smiling.

I'm pretty sure I winced when I saw his face.

"Lovi, thats not very nice of you. Ve~," then his face lit up like a freaking high voltage lightbulb. And since he knew I was just kidding I shrugged it off, rested my elbows on the glossy counter top, and yawned. Feli's smile dimmed just a smidgen.

"Working late again, fratello?" The worry was visible in his voice... Shut up! Emotions can be visible in sounds... Shit, gimme a break, will ya?

With an over dramatic sigh of exasperation I nodded and gave Feli my most serious stare, "Its not that bad, don't flip shit over something small. Just got some news and had to check it out. Thats all."

"Ve~ What kind of news?" He lowered his voice and leaned across the counter when he asked. Feli was in on the whole mafia thing, he just chose to be a simple diner owner instead. He could be serious when he wanted to be.

Which wasn't often. But I digress.

I lowered my voice too, "Just some news about the black marketers coming in from the West. They've been looking all over Europe looking for something, we don't know what though. If things get out of hand when they pay us a visit, we need to have insurance that they'll leave Italia unscathed."

Yeah, that's right. The black market guys from next door have been looting and auctioning anything they can, but on the side they've been asking questions about something. What exactly? We haven't figured that out... yet, but we will. I've got eyes all over Italia, Elizibeta and Roderich are my eyes in Austria but does distance really matter? Some crazy shit goes on over there.

Feli looked around his diner for a second, then looked back to me. He pulled on his thinking face, that one face he makes when he's trying to remember the info he collected on something. Even Feli was one of my eyes, but... he was more like an ear... What the fuck ever, okay?

Once he got what he was trying to get, he stared me straight in the eyes and lowered his voice to a whisper,"Oh... Ve~ Fratello, be careful, si? I hear the Black Market business is ruthelss and unnecessarily violent. The highest man is a bit deranged, has a drinking problem and claims he can see 'fairies'."

I nodded seriously and gave Feli a pat on the shoulder, but that didn't stop me from chuckling, "Pffth, 'fairies'? The man's on drugs."

Feli giggled a bit and turned back to the coffee machine, "Ve~ It is kind of funny, si?"

"Si, fratello. Ah I'll be right back, bathroom's on the left?" I stood up and rubbed the back of my neck while making my way to the thin wooden door left of the register on the counter.

"Ve~ yep it is. And your coffee is ready~" I watched him put the white mug of steaming liquid of life in front of my seat.

I nodded at him and continued to the restroom. Thank God Feli was a neat freak, his diner probably had the cleanest facilities in the world.

Standing in front of the mirror, I took a nice gander at myself. Wow, I even /look/ like shit. Well... not really, I'm probably the best looking individual in the entire diner, save for Feli 'cause we're Vargas', but for me I'm at an all time low. My hair is a mess!

A few swipes with wet fingers later and I look brand new again. Damn I'm good.

Just one last once over and then I'm on my way back to my coffee and chatting with Feli.

I think I just heard the bell on the door ring.

:D yay chapter one~ so what'd you guys think? not that bad right? well... it's your opinions, not mine, that count. i appreciate every type of feedback because that means you either enjoy my work or care about my skills(or lack there of).

i'm sorry for the italics abuse, lovino puts a lot of emphasis on a lot of words when i write him ^^; btw: he's incredibly fun to write!

silly translations you all most likely know:

fratello- brother in Italian

si- yes in italian(and spanish ;D)
