Chapter 2:
Toni was busy getting ready for his blind date, which he was really looking forward to! Ever since his break-up with Lovino, he hadn't been the same, so he was hoping that maybe he could find someone to make him happy and keep him happy. Someone who wouldn't break his heart and leave him.
He tried the dating website because he figured that was the quickest and easiest way to find someone he liked for personality. He really liked blind dates, because you could get to know the other person's personality before ever seeing them, so you could judge whether you liked them as a person or not!
So far, Toni was unsuccessful in finding someone he liked, but he soon stumbled upon someone with a username that made him laugh. "FREEEEEDOM" was the nickname. What a silly nickname! He could tell that he would like this person.
Sure enough, they talked about their personalities, and they were pretty similar! Neat! This "FREEEEEDOM" person was pretty interesting! He really wanted to meet them, so he asked. "¿Te gustaría salir conmigo?," he sent. Then, he facepalmed and glanced at the chat. What if this person didn't speak Spanish? "I'm sorry, I meant "Will you-" He started to type, but then a message popped up.
"Sí. I would love to." Toni could've squealed, but he didn't. He totally could've, though. "Great! Where do you want to meet up?" He sent back. They made arrangements for dinner at this decent place, and Toni was extremely excited and happy. Yes! He scored a date! Hopefully they were as fun as their name was.
Soon, the Spaniard noticed it was time as he got one last look in the mirror, put on some cologne, and left for the restaurant. Eventually, he arrived as he sent a text to his blind date and went inside. It was a nice place, not too fancy but not too casual!
The brunette was admiring the scenery when he noticed a tall blonde waving at him. Was that his blind date? Honestly, he was… hotter than he imagined.
Blue eyes shining like the ocean, pure wheat hair, a perfect golden skin tone, nice build. He was a good-lookin' guy! Toni smiled at him and walked over.
"Hóla! My name is Antonio, but most people call me Toni! What's your name?" He introduced, shaking the American's hand. Why was the blonde staring at him like that?
It seemed that upon noticing that he was staring, the American blushed and shook his head. "Oh, um, my name is Alfred. Feel free to call me Alfie or Al, though! I prefer calling people by their nicknames." Aww, he was adorable~
"Nice to meet you, Alfie!" Toni smiled as they took their seats and Toni looked at the menu. After ordering a sangria, he noticed Alfred ordering a soda and smiled. He was just like a kid.
They started talking and Toni listened closely as Alfred talked passionately about his hobbies and likes. His eyes were lit up brightly, and he could've sworn he saw twinkling in those bright blue eyes of his.
He occasionally chuckled when Alfred would talk about something with such energy, but only because it was precious. Such enthusiasm was hard to find nowadays, so it was nice to see it again.
When Alfred asked him why he was chuckling, he blinked, then felt kind of bad. No, he wasn't laughing at what he liked and what he liked to do! It was just really cute!
He laughed lightly and shook his head, smiling at him. "Because, mí amigo, you get so passionate when you talk about your likes and your eyes light up, and it's adorable!"
Aww, he was blushing again! "Adorable? I'm not adorable! I'm manly as fuck!" Alfred rebutted with a pout. Toni had to keep from jumping across the table and hugging him tight.
"You're telling me you're manly, but you're pouting. It's child-like and innocent, so it's cute." He smiled as the two argued back and forth about whether the American was cute or not. Before either of them could declare a winner, their food came and they began eating. Toni was taking time savoring the food because he always did that, but Alfred clearly wasn't doing that. He was eating it quickly and hardly leaving time to taste it.
He watched as Alfred reached over to grab a napkin, and he was about to warn him to be careful, but before he could, Alfred knocked over the soda and it spilled right onto Toni's shirt.
The Spaniard visibly stiffened from the cold drink, but when he saw Alfred frowning, he simply gave a smile. The American apologized over and over, but he simply waved a dismissive hand. He didn't care about this accident, he knew it was an accident, and he let him know. However, he made another remark about him being cute and Alfred yelled that he wasn't, attracting the attention onto him.
Toni walked over and kissed Alfred on the head, smiling comfortingly at him. "Calm down, mí amigo~ It's just an accident, no?" He could notice Alfred immediately grow less tense. Was his voice that reassuring?
"Okay…" The American muttered, as Toni went off to wash off his shirt. Once in the bathroom, he took it off and washed it under the sink, scrubbing furiously at the soda. For most of the time in there, though, he kept thinking about his date. He really liked this guy already, he was so fun and funny, and he made Toni laugh. His own cheeks burned slightly, but it was hard to tell against his mocha skin tone. He swallowed and sighed, trying to dry off his shirt before putting it back on and returning to his date.
When he approached the table, he noticed Alfred sitting with his head in his hands. At that, he frowned slightly and sighed as he got his attention. The blonde looked at him, smiled, and paid the bill. Toni stated that that wasn't really fair, but the American insisted that it was an apology for spilling the soda. The Spaniard sighed, but decided that nothing could be done about it now.
They went outside and Toni smiled at Alfred, about to thank him for the date, when he noticed him staring at the ground. "Hey… Are you okay?" He asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, I'm… I'm sorry for ruining this date thing. I'm just a clutz and I always mess things up. I really wanted this to work out, y'know? I guess I panicked too much, so something ended up happening…" He mumbled. Toni could feel his heart shatter at the sight of Alfred so upset. He wanted to see this guy happy, smiling like the idiot he was!
He pulled the American in for a hug and pet his head lovingly, humming soothingly. "Shh, shh… You didn't ruin the date, mi amor. It was the best date I've ever been on, and I can't wait for more like it." He assured him with one of his sweet smiles. Alfred blushed at the nickname, but so did Toni! He called someone he just met his love. Though, he could tell that he had feelings for him, definitely…
When Alfred promised to be the silliest person he ever met, Toni couldn't help but grin. That's all he wanted the American to do. He wanted him to be happy and have fun in whatever way he wanted.
They said goodbye and headed back home to dream of their wonderful date.
A/N: Sorry if Toni is OOC, I've never really rped him before and it's 3:15 AM when I'm writing and uploading this, so I'm sorry if it sucks ;~;
