Night Terrors
A/N: Usually I wouldn't use this phrase since I actually say 'nightmare/s' but in this case, as a title, 'night terrors' sounded better.
I write too much Spamano~. So I decided I might as well do something with it. So, enjoy this to start of my Spamano Oneshot collection – With A Side Of Tomatoes~!
Enjoy your cutesy Spamano, and I don't think Romano really swears too badly in this one. But beware, it's so fluffy and sappy you may be stuck to your chair choking on it.

"Romano... Romano."
Romano groaned in irritation. He was asleep, dammit. He wanted to stay that way. His dream was gentle and warm and smelt oddly of tomatoes, but that was what made it good. He didn't want to return to the cold of the world.
"Romano!"
Ugh, now he was being shaken. The soft reds and yellows and beautiful colours of his dream faded away to black, and the warmth no longer came from the air around him but a light weight draped over him. The large hands were also warm on his shoulders, and the shaking increased in urgency.
"Romano!"
"Bastardo! What do you want? I was sleeping, dammit..." Romano snapped sleepily, rubbing his eyes and turning to look at the Spaniard beside him. Through the darkness it took a little while for his eyes to adjust, but eventually he could make out his fellow country's face.
Spain's face wasn't in its usual happy, carefree expression. His brow furrowed gently, his lips were turned down and wobbling, and his eyes were wide and gathering tears. This worried Romano slightly. What was so bad that it had upset Spain so much?
"Roma!" Spain cried, and flung himself at the Italian, wrapping his arms tightly around Romano's neck and burying his face into the crook between his neck and shoulders. The Southern Italian jumped slightly, before gently putting his own arms around the Spaniard's back, embracing him.
"What's wrong, 'Tonio?" He asked quietly, dropping the usual insults and instead using the secret affectionate nickname he saved for special occasions alone with Spain. The older country sniffled slightly, whimpering into his shoulder. Romano pushed his question further gently, like Spain always did. "Spagna, per favore. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Y-you... ah, I'm being silly really." Spain tried to laugh, but it came out shaky and forced.
"Tell me anyway." Romano murmured, nuzzling his face into Spain's hair.
"It's was just a bad dream but... oh, Dios, it was so horrible." Spain shuddered and his grip on Romano tightened. "You...you were gone. I couldn't save you. I lost you."
His voice was a hoarse, distraught whisper, but Romano heard it anyway.
"A-and when I woke up, y-you were just lying there and I was so scared..."
"Shh." Romano hushed his boyfriend, becoming surprisingly soft as Spain choked slightly on his words. "I'm alright, 'Tonio."
"I-I know, I know..." Spain pressed his face into Romano's shoulder and grasped at the back of his nightshirt, still shaking. "Dios, Roma..."
"Look." Romano pulled Spain away from him and pressed their foreheads together, forcing them face to face. Spain kept a tight hold on him around the neck. Romano nudged his cheek, prompting him to look up and meet Romano's eyes. "I'm not going anywhere. Okay? I'm here, and I always will be, idiot. You can't get rid of me that easily."
Spain laughed through his tears, and held Romano's face the way Romano was holding his.
"Gracias, Romano. Te amo." He smiled, nuzzling the Italian in an Eskimo kiss.
"Anch'io ti amo, pomodoro bastardo." Romano replied, and quickly met his lips with Spain's. Then he broke away and pulled the Spaniard down with him. "Now come on, back to sleep, I'm fucking tired."
Spain chuckled again and pulled Romano to his chest, keeping his arms around him in a secure embrace. Romano didn't protest, already half-asleep and grateful for the warmth Spain provided, and the two curled up around each other and fell asleep.

A/N: Aww, they're so cute! Why are they so cute? So cute and sappy and kshehfnlosghlskndkjnal 3
And sometimes, Roma needs to be the one doing the comforting! I love sweet!Romano, he's very prominent in my headcanon. But he only comes around when it's just him and Spain and no-one else. Otherwise he reverts to aggressive-shy tsundere!Romano xD
Concerning my other stuff, if you read it: The Decomposition of Love oneshot collection is still continuing. But the next one is quite a bit longer than the others, and also I'm more worried with getting chapter three of Inside Italia out.
Sooo yes, hope you liked it, yes it was short, and good day to you *tips hat*
Reviews are much appreciated :3
