Meeting in the Mist
Chapter 1
As I sit awaiting my dinner my mind begins to travel and I find myself eventually thinking about France. I recall perfectly our last summer we spent together on the warm sunny banks by the river. How we used to just sit and talk for hours on end. That's all changed now. I never have time for anyone now. I can tell that it pains France to never spend any time with me. I can see it in his eyes. He misses me. What he doesn't know is that I miss him too. The sound of the kitchen doors pulls me from my thoughts. I look up and see France carrying two large platters towards the table.
"Sorry it took so long Romano, perfection is worth the wait. Non?"
"Yes, it's perfectly fine, it gave me time to think."
"Oh? About what?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, well then while we eat I'd like to talk. That is if you don't mind"
"No, it's fine go ahead."
"Well, today while I was making dinner, I started thinking about how we used to be. You know talking, spending time together. No one was ever busy. I miss that."
When France said that, a wave of emotion swept over me. How ever I tried my best not to let it show. I tried to look strong, after all I am Romano I am known to be strong, unbreakable. Unlike my little brother Italy, He is weak, a crybaby, he would never get anywhere in life if it wasn't for me. Anyways that is beside the point. I want to spend more time with France. No, I will spend more time with France.
"Well, the dinner was exquisite but I really must be going."
"Of course, see you another time?"
"I will try my best."
I watched as France stood and walked across the room. I hope he didn't notice but I stared at his butt the whole time. It is so perfect and cute. I don't understand why all the other countries hate him so much. He's not as perverted as they think. He is very polite and kind. I wouldn't even mind living with him. I know we used to hate each other as kids growing up, always constantly at each other's necks. Trying to be the better one. Well, those days are over now I've given up fighting with France after all I could use a change in scenery.
