Kurai-onii: Oh, um, hello there….This story's based off Tangled, and it's spamano!
Romano: What the fuck?! You're pairing me with Spain!
Kurai-onii: That's because you're sooooo cute together. *Huggles Romano* Let me have my yaoi dreams!
~I don't own Hetalia or Tangled.~
Once upon a time in a kingdom far far away, Italy to be exact, there was rumored to be a magical golden lily. Some say a drop of the sun fell to the Earth and there sprouted a flower with the ability to heal the sick and wounded.
Centuries passed and the kingdom grew and prospered. It was ruled by the beloved king and queen; Roderich and Elizaveta. The queen was nearing childbirth and she grew ill, dangerously ill, she was running out of time. The kingdom prayed for a miracle, or in this case, a magic golden lily. But the woman by the name of Natalya, who had found It, kept it hidden from the world and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years. All she had to do was sing a special song.
A woman in a long blue cloak, violet eyes, and graying blonde hair moved nearer to the bed of over grown grass that hid the lily from sight. She pulled the grass away and caressed the flower lovingly. "Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." Her face smoothed and her hair returned to its original blonde. She seemed to glow with new found youth. Voices and the glow of torches filled the air. Natalya stood hurriedly and ran from the sight, trampling the bed of grass in her haste.
A group of soldiers baring the armor of the king came upon the lily and dug it from the ground as Natalya watched from the shadows, malice shown in her eyes as they made off with her key to immortality.
The flower was turned into tea for the queen to drink and she was returned to full health. Not long after she bore to sons, twins. They both had a strange curl protruding from the side of their heads. The children were named Feliciano and Lovino.
To celebrate their birth Roderich and Elizaveta launched two lanterns into the sky, and for that moment everything was perfect. But as we all know, happiness cannot exist without tragedy.
Natalya snuck into the children's bedroom and began to sing. "Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine." The babies' curls began to glow a beautiful gold, she gently touched Feliciano's curl, took a pair of long scissors and snipped a piece off. The child groaned in discomfort and twisted in his sleep, the glow to his hair gone. She gasped and glanced over at Lovino and a plan formed in her mind. That night the king and queen were awoken by their son's cries of loneliness, when they entered the room the sight that met them made them cry out in horror.
The door to the balcony was left ajar and Lovino's crib was over turned, the oldest of the twins nowhere to be found. They searched the whole kingdom for their child but they did not find the prince, for deep within the forest, in a hidden tower Natalya raised the child as her own.
Lovino's hair glowed as he sang the magic song; Natalya brushed his brown hair sweetly as the magic changed her youthful again. Natalya had found her new magic lily and this time she was determined to keep it hidden.
"Mother, why can't I go outside?" The young boy questioned.
"The outside world is a dangerous place." His false mother whispered soothingly. "That's why you must stay here, where it's safe. Do you understand my lily?"
"Yes, Mother."
Though made of thick stone the walls of the tower couldn't hide everything. Each year the king and queen released thousands of lanterns on his birthday, and Lovino watched from his tower window. They hoped that one day their prince would be returned to them.
Years later-
A small grey wolf pup hid on the windowsill behind a potted plant, and cringed when the window was thrown open revealing a tall boy with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a strange curl sticking out on the right side of his head. He glanced around and smirked knowingly, "I guess Lupo's (1) not out here. I'll have to look for the bastard somewhere else." The wolf seemed to snicker before a hand caught his tail and dragged him towards the shutters. "I win again. Ready for round thirty-seven?"
Lupo shook his head. "Well then what do you want to do." He jerked his small head toward the ground below. "Stupid, you know we can't go outside. You better pick something else before I do." The wolf stuck his small tongue. "It could be a lot worse you know." He plucked the pup off the windowsill and carried him inside. "Let's paint some."
Moments later Lovino stood before a small easel with a paint smeared palette. He dipped the brush into the blue and stirred it with the black to make it darker. Sloppy lines ran across white paper and painted a horribly drawn night sky, Lupo snickered. "I'd like to see you do better." Lovino hissed as he added yellow dots along the sky. "The lights will be in the sky again tomorrow, just like they always are on my birthday. Maybe Mother will actually let me go this year." He whispered hopefully as he swirled the brown out to the side.
The pictured showed him standing in a green meadow looking up at the light filled sky. "I hope she lets me go…"
Elsewhere-
Two men slid down the castle roof, coming to a stop right before they went plummeting off the edge. A man with brown hair and green eyes gazed out over the land. He spoke with a heavy Spainish accent "I could most certainly get used to a view like this. It's settled. I want a castle." The silver haired albino looked at him expectantly.
"The awesome me gets to live with you in your awesome castle. Right, Antonio?" The Spaniard waved him off.
"Sure, sure let's just finish this job."
"I don't know about this. I don't think stealing from the place where my little bruder's boyfriend lives is a very awesome idea. The king and queen already hate me enough."
"Look, they never have to know it was you." Antonio smiled. "We don't have to hurt anybody, just grab the goods and get out."
The albino nodded slowly.
…
Antonio was lowered from the ceiling on an old frayed rope, into the throne until he was dangling right above the crown that was surrounded by multiple guards. An overly burly looking one with slicked back blond hair and biceps bigger than a normal man's head stood in front of the other knights. Gilbert lowered Antonio until he could pluck the golden crown of the pedestal and stuff it into his satchel. A knight let out a sneeze as he performed this task.
"Bless you." The knight sniffled.
"Thank you." His eyes grew wide in realization and he whipped around as fast as he could. "Thief!" He screamed as he pointed to where he was being pulled up and through a skylight. The blond began ordering his men to take chase.
Antonio and Gilbert ran as fast as they could over the bridge that led away from the castle. "Keep running Gilbert, or else your baby brother will catch you." Gilbert looked horrified. "Oh, loosen up. It's a very big day."

Kurai-onii: Let me explain a few things: The lily and the grey wolf are national symbols of Italy according to Google so I thought it'd make more sense. Also Lupo means wolf in Italian. (Fabulous, original idea for the win!) Please review and tell me what you think!
