Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia/Nekotalia. I'm not that brilliant to come up with these things on my own.

Laura = Belgium

Romano was unhappy. That much was obvious. He kept his eyes narrowed and his tail tucked as he sat under the dining room table. He wasn't about to let himself be dragged out again.

Antonio sat on the floor a few feet away, "Come on Romano, you have to come out from under there eventually," he said with a smile on his face, "I thought cats were supposed to like being hugged."

Like hell they are. Romano grumbled as he adjusted his sitting position. He found he liked it under the table. Even if it was more open, unlike the bed there were more ways for him to escape. And if Antonio tried to go around one way to grab him there were plenty of other ways to go to get out of his reach.

So there was Antonio sitting on the floor trying to talk Romano out from under the table after spending fifteen minutes playing "ring-around-the-table". Much to Romano's amusement at least. "Romanoooo… please come out?" Antonio sighed. He had already given up on using the bribes of food and his favorite tomato cat toy.

Antonio was about to start coming up with a new plan when his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. Getting to his feet, Antonio glanced over his shoulder a few times half hoping that Romano would decided to move spots but was disappointed to find he wasn't moving.

Opening the door, Laura stood there with a smile on her face, "Antonio!" she exclaimed. Antonio returned the smile and let her in closing the door behind her. "I heard you have a cat! I was really hoping to see him."

Antonio shrugged, "Well you see…" He was about to add something else when he saw Romano quickly run out from under the table and begin rubbing against Laura's legs. "You…" Antonio managed to mutter somewhere stuck between disbelief and annoyance.

"Oh Antonio!" Laura said, "He's adorable!" as Romano continued to rub against her legs. She took a step back and knelt down on the floor, holding out her hand, "You just want all the attention in the world don't you?"

Romano was quite happy to rub against the newcomers legs, but the moment she got down to his level he froze and looked at her with his eyes wide. I… I wasn't… damn jerk… you! He backed away enough so he could run under the table and hide again.

"Oh…" Laura questioned as she watched him run off, "Did I do something wrong?"

Antonio shook his head, "No don't worry about it. Let's go get something to eat. Maybe he'll come out eventually," he said adding a smile.

Laura continued to smile as she stood up, "He is really adorable," she said as she followed Antonio into the kitchen.

Romano remained under the table for a moment before he finally decided that Antonio and Laura were distracted enough with kitchen work that they wouldn't notice him entering the kitchen to watch the pair.

Authors Note: Belgium's name comes from the list of possible names off the blog. I was kind of already calling her "Laura" before I saw it on the list anyway.

If this sounds strangely like Episode 94~ You'd be right. :P
