Hetalia is Himaruya-sama's!
the plot is moine :3
It was raining hard.
How tragic, the weather man said nothing about this. How fickle of them to just stand there, look good and fumble with some mumbo jumbo fine weather. When it was really freezing zero degrees, rain pouring down hard and some lightning here and there. What people wouldn't give to harm the weather man and throw him in the dump, all while waiting for a better weather man to show up.
New Yorkers under umbrellas complained about the pouring rain and about 'good-for-nothing-weather men', angry mobs at the ready to charge in the news station and demand for a better forecaster. Everyone had their umbrellas, in a variety of colors and designs except for one lone female, Lovina Vargas.
Instead of carrying an umbrella or even wore the appropriate clothes for tonight's weather, the 24-year old brunette Italian went straight out the cold weather braving the odds.
Lovina walked under the pouring rain, heart aching and tears rolling down her face disguised as rain. A bitter smile on her face as she held her elbows in attempt to keep herself warm, eyes locked at her boots as they walked along the wet sidewalk.
Her phone rung a few times, but she didn't mind it simply ignoring anyone's calls, even her precious little sister's. She hadn't kept track of time as she found herself out here running for hours and hours, numbing her heart ache away. Clinging unto her already wet clothes she rubbed her elbows in attempt to warm herself up despite her ice cold fingers.
Despite her smile, she had resentment and self-hatred beneath that smile and it's not her sister to blame, or the downpour, no sir.
It's her she has to blame.
Because she was unselfish and cared deeply for her younger sister, Feliciana.
A sister she loved so much that it was criminal.
A sister she loved so dearly that she would gladly risk her life for.
After her parents died back when she was 8, Lovina swore on their graves that she would never let anything happen to Feliciana (who was only 6 at that time), not when Lovina was still alive and breathing.
She swore that nothing bad would happen to Feliciana, never allow her to be sad and weak, she will be there when she needed her and most of all, Lovina would promise that only Feliciana's happiness would be her sole happiness, something that would shine for the rest of her life.
When they were in college, Lovina took up a scholarship and had to work 3 jobs to pay Feli's tuition (she failed her scholarship exam). She sacrificed every energy she had left on her body just for her sister, with measly meals and short hours of sleep. It was a miracle that she wasn't hospitalized or reprimanded by their grandfather! Feli had voiced out her concerns about that fact, but Lovina was stubborn to deal with. Even their best friend (best friends actually, they had a lot of best friends), Madeline Williams had voiced her concern as well. But Lovina simply brushed them off, kissing her sister's head and went to bed.
Feliciana was her pride and joy, the only reason why she is alive at this moment. She would do anything for her, even trade her life just to see her live and let her dream of being a grandmother come true.
While Feli was care-free, happy-go-lucky and childish, with good musical abilities and can cook, Lovina was brash, pessimistic and witty, she equaled with her sister in music and cooking (she was better but wouldn't admit it) and, she was an aspiring photographer plus writer.
Feli currently has her own restaurant (surprise Graduation gift from their Nonno) where Lovina works as a chef and bartender, Madeline works as a waitress there as well, together with Bella, their childhood friend as a waitress, her older brother Lars, a waiter, Francis, their distant relative and Madeline's cousin who works as a chef as well, Alice, the delivery girl plus occasional waitress and Michelle, a new-recruit waitress. Feli occasionally works as a waitress and chef.
Then came Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, their Spanish childhood friend who was about a year older than the older Italian. He had always spent time with the two sisters when they were younger and lived in the same neighborhood. He enjoyed the company of the two Italian sisters and became close with them, but it was clear to Lovina that he liked Feli better more than her. She secretly fell for him hard, but knew that her duty came before anything else.
So when Feli moved out (around their early college years) to live with her best friend, Louise, it was to Lovina's surprise when Antonio urged her to stay with him. He grew fond of her as the years past by, but he would sometimes voice out missing Feliciana. Lovina then knew in her heart that her love was never to be, and so she silently gave up on him.
Then came the time when Feli told her sister she found her childhood crush, Ludwig Beilshmidt, Louise's cousin. She gushed her about how awkward it was to meet him again after how many years and how he's been. Feliciana rambled on and on about Ludwig not knowing that Lovina had formulated a secret anger towards the German for abandoning her sister, leaving her broken hearted.
So she urged her sister to invite him to their restaurant's anniversary, where things went downhill; after she had talked to Ludwig, figuring out that he had a slight amnesia and went to New York to search for Feliciana, she approved of him, gave out few advices and threats, then went to Feliciana, only to find her and Antonio making out in her office.
Instantly, her whole body felt numb, face blanched, and she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. Ludwig must've had the same expression as hers – numbing and unfathomable pain stabbing him deep.
She ran out of the restaurant, not bothering to bid everyone goodbye or even bring an umbrella. She didn't even hear the sound of her sister's shouting and a few others just ran and ran until her feet couldn't run anymore. She had been running for hours that she didn't even notice that it was dark, feeling a bit guilty she took out her phone and wasn't surprise to find 17 voicemails from Feli, Maddie and surprisingly, from Antonio. She deleted them all, not wanting to hear a thing or their concerns.
She bumped into someone as she pocketed her phone, falling backwards due to the impact. Luckily, the person she bumped wrapped an arm around her waist, caughting her in time.
Lovina sighed in relief, glad that she didn't fall into a wet sidewalk and get any dirtier than she is now. Phew, boy did she need a bath.
She was too preoccupied with her thoughts to even notice who her captor was. Her captor was just straightening themselves when he took note of her bobbing curl then began to double checked on the Italian's damp face, breaking into a nervous grin as he slowly opened his mouth.
"L-Lovina? Lovina Vargas?" came his deep, husky voice that was awkwardly familiar to her ears.
Looking up, lo and behold, Sadiq Adnan, the bully from middle school who always took pleasure in bullying her and her sister. He changed a lot, save for his disturbingly white Zorro-like mask he used to wear. He seemed professional with the way those glasses framed his good-looking face and that stubble in his chin.
"Sadiq Adnan?" She pointed questioningly, said man nodded slowly "Holy fuck, it is you..."
He chuckled a little, fidgeting under her gaze not sure where to start. Lovina on the other hand, felt uncomfortable with their current position and decided to speak up.
"So, can you let me go now?"
" Hm? Oh, yeah...s-sorry."
Taking a good distance from him, Lovina composed herself and looked up.
"So what are you doing here in New York Sadiq? I thought you went back to Turkey after graduation?" she asks him excitedly. Sadiq however gave her a profound questioning look, as if he was talked by a crazy person.
"What?"
"Umm…It's just that, whenever you see me you'd start cussing and all...it's just...new to me." Sadiq plainly put out.
Lovina nodded in understanding "Oh, haha that. Yeah, well" she scratched her head, composing her words "I was a kid then and you were too. An asshole who sought for attention, I get that."
Hearing her statement made Sadiq happy, Lovina had forgiven him. He no longer had that painful feeling lodged up at the back of his head.
"Ha ha, yeah..."
She patted him in the shoulder lightly, smiling brightly and forgivingly at him. Eyes dry from crying, a fact he just noticed but kept quiet about.
"So?" Lovina suddenly asked.
"So?" Sadiq followed, unsure what she was asking him.
Lovina chuckles "Aren't you gonna tell me why you're here?"
"Oh! Well you see...Uh, hey you don't look so good Vargas." He leans close to her, using the back of his palm to feel her temperature while the other held unto his umbrella "Yikes! You've got a high fever, c'mon I'll tell you in my place." he said, taking her wrist as he led the way.
"Okaaaaay."
The Italian snorted, punching him in the arm as she scuffled along under the same umbrella, the two joked about the bad weather and how stupid news stations can be for hiring horrible forecasters.
