"Now, now. Tell me what brings you here." said Emma as she placed a few candies on the table.

It wasn't my intention to visit her. Really. I actually have no idea how I ended up at her place. But don't get me wrong, Emma has always been one of my best friends for a long time, but I wasn't sure if she was the right person to help me.

Ah, sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet.

I am the Kingdom of Spain. My friends call me Antonio, but for the rest of the world knows me as Spain.

People say I am carefree and cheerful. I guess that's true, my only worries usually involve my economy and some politics, but no more. Or at least until a few weeks ago, then I started having these weird feelings. Well, it might be more accurate to say it actually started months ago. Most exactly, since the last World Meeting.

But now I was at Emma's house.

"Antonio? Is everything alright?" Emma asked with a worried face. Ah, I think I spaced out a little.

"Ah. Yes, yes, everything is fine." At least that's what I'd like to say, but I said something different instead.

"Not everything is fine, I guess."

She frowned a little.

"What's wrong then? You know you can tell me anything."

"Ah, yes. But where should I begin?"

"I think you should tell me what the problem is first."

"Um"

Emma smiled a little. She had a nice smile. Which reminded me of a kitty. Which reminded me of a grumpy cat. Which reminded me of the cause of my problem.

"Let me guess then~! Does it have to do something with politics or economics?"

I shaked my head.

"No? Then it's something more personal, am I right? So, is it related to a certain Italian we know?"

I lifted my head excitedly, how did she do that? It was just like if she was able to read my mind!

"Yes! These candies are very good, by the way~"

"Thank you very much~! But what problem do you have with our little Roma?"

"Ah, well you see, it all started a few months ago, when the last meeting was held at my place. Remember?"

Emma nodded.

"Well, Lovino stayed at over for a month more, God knows why. And I started, like, getting sick but without getting sick. Do you understand?"

"I don't think so. . . Can you explain it a little bit more?"

"Uh. Well. I started feeling kind of. . . flustered and all. And my face felt hot, like if I had a fever! And I also got a weird feeling in my stomach, uh, what else? Ah, yes, after Lovino went back to Italy, we would sometimes speak on the phone, and I thought those strange things would go away but they just kept coming whenever we were at the phone!" I looked at Emma expectantly after I finished explaining myself. She sure took her time to think. Time I used to finish all the candies, because they were very tasty~

"Antonio?"

"Yes~?"

"Have you been thinking about Romano a lot more lately?"

"How do you know?"

"I'm guessing. And what other stuff has happened with Roma? I mean, besides the phone, haven't you guys talked? Like, in person."

"He came once a month ago. I think he was running away because his brother had brought Germany over"

"And did you got those feelings again?"

"Ah~ yes, I think I did. That and something new."

"What was new?"

"I wanted to hug him all of a sudden and I noticed stuff about him~" Now, talking about this was making me feel embarrased. And feel that thing again. And I thought more about Lovino.

Lovino Vargas, aka South Italy, aka Italy Romano.

The past months made me realize something. I liked to spend time with Lovino. More than before, I mean. And I also realized he. . .

He was b-beautiful. And handsome, too.

The lonely thought made me all flustered again. Ah, there it was, my face felt kind of hot now. Maybe I was getting a fever. I that economy of mine striking once again? And the tingling feeling in my stomach, just in time. Now I wanted to hug Lovino again and stay forever with him.

Now we add the weird thoguhts?

"Antonio, are you listening?" a worried Emma asked.

"Ah~sorry, I think I spaced out again. What were you saying?"

"I asked you what stuff you noticed about him."

"I don't think I want to say that now." I said feeling flustered again. The sensation won't just go away, will it?

"Oh. Well, I think we should wait to see what happens tomorrow at the meeting~"

"There's a meeting tomorrow? And why should we wait?"

"Oh yes, it's been five months since the last one, have you forgot already? Anyway, we should wait because I need to see you both, Roma and you, to make sure of something. Oh, and don't worry, I almost have the solution to your problem~"

"Ah. Thank you very much! Oh, I think I should get going now if I want to get to Madrid in time."

"Sure"

"And could you tell me one more thing? Where is the meeting held?"

"In America."

"Thank you~"

I got into my car after saying goodbye and started driving back to Spain. Unusual enough, I was thinking about a lonely thing: Lovino. I say it was unusual because I get easily distracted, but not now, not about him, at least.

Maybe I was getting a hint of the solution, after all.

Well guys, this is my first published story. And it's Spamano. I hope you like it. English is not my first language, so any mistakes let me know and I'll try to edit.

Obviously the point of view here was Antonio's, but I think next's will be Lovino's.

However, see you!
