Summary: Gypsies are thieves, swindlers, and never to be trusted. Poor Antonio doesn't stand a chance against the lovely "Lovina". Not that Alfred or Matthew are ever going to tell him otherwise. Based on a hetalia AMV by A. Person by the same name. Gerita, Aushun, and maybe Usuk.
It was a normal day... or so he told himself.
Donned in a fedora to hide his hair, he walked along the streets of Venice in normal Italian wear, yet not as conspicuous as his work clothes.
He followed the man under the cloak. To him, this was not what he wanted to be doing on his day off, nor any of their business. But surely it was worth it, his brother had said. Three of the same fortunes in one day, extraordinary!
Follow them. Such a rare occurrence will lead to an entertaining story! He had never had any reason to doubt his brother before. He had a hell of an instinct. The man chuckled silently. His brother had always liked story, ever since that british boy from the orphanage...
He shook the thoughts from head. In his daze, he had almost past the merchant.
He seemed to have stopped at a dancer. Her wavy, brown hair tumbled down her neck. Adorn in a crimson red dress, she looked like she was on fire, dancing gracefully up there.
Matthew watched as the woman eyes set on the merchant. He saw the familiar look in those eyes. His job required him being associated with them a few times.
Gypsies.
The Reversed Magician card, manipulation.
Matthew smiled. Perhaps this might entertaining after all.
Earlier that day...
He was bored.
As a merchant, he was stuck in the same routine and it was killing him. Travel around the Mediterranean was not enough. He was desperate to from more, to see more, to experience more. Surely there was something he could do to be finally content with life.
Then he came across the tent. A fortune teller. If he had something fulfilling ahead of him, they would tell him.
He entered. The tent was bigger than he thought, kind of maze-like.
When he arrived, to his suprise, the fortune teller was not an old woman cloaked in several intricate robes like he had imagined.
Instead, it was a he wore a red bowtie, a white dress shirt with a black vest on top. He had a peculiar blond curl that looped before drooping downward. His eyes seemed to watch him more like a new experiment than a new client.
He stuck out his hand. The merchant cautiously shook it.
"It's nice to meet you, eh? What's your name?"
"Antonio Fernandez Carreido. Your's?"
"Matthew Williams. Shall we get started?"
(I had wanted to cut off here but its too short for me.)
Antonio nodded. Matthew smiled innocently, yet Antonio couldn't bring himself to let his guard down. "Excellent. Now, tell me more about yourself."
"I'm a merchant. I'm from Spain and I'm 25 years old."
Matthew fanned out a deck of cards in front of them. The faces were down so Antonio couldn't see them. "Pick three."
The fortune teller looked at the three cards he was handed. He crossed his arms and tilted his head in curiousity. "What do hope to find here?"
Antonio shrugged. "I don't really know. Adventure,
I guess." Matthew showed him the three cards.
"Love, Manipulation, and Destiny. Quite an interesting combination there, Mr. Carreido."
"What does it mean?"
"A love triangle? No... Perhaps someone you care about might not be who they seem... "
Francis had been acting strange... No, this is just making me paranoid. I should leave. Antonio eyed Matthew, who was now cuddling a small white dog. Wouldn't wanna be rude though...
Antonio smiled warmly. "Thank you. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon! Nice meeting you!" He got up and left the money on the table. "No problem. Kumajiro will show you the way out." The dog hopped out of his lap and yapped, as if telling him to follow. Antonio waved goodbye and then he was gone.
Matthew waved back while counting the dollar bills and when he was gone he muttered "Oh you're in for adventure alright..."
A/N: And done. I'll try to make the next chapter longer, since this one's so short. ^^' Anyway, I saw a Hetalia AMV by A. Person (their videos are awesome, if you guys like vocaloid and hetalia crossovers, you should check out their channel) and it was so amazing and the stort was so intricate, I had to do this. Spamano will probably be the main pairing but not by much. I definitely will write several chapters for the other pairs mentioned. Review, follow and favorite!
