~You and I were friends from outer Space
Afraid of letting go~
He knew it had to be done. It was the right choice. But, if it was the right choice, then why was it so hard to make? Why couldn't he let him go? What was keeping him from allowing Romano to do what he wanted?
~The only two who understood this place
And as far as we knew
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind~
Antonio didn't want to let his little tomato go. He loved him too much. Sure, the boy never returned his feelings, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was having Lovino around. But he wanted to unify with his brother, he wanted to live his own life under his own rule. So why was it so hard for Spain to let Romano be happy?
~Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way to letting go~
Why was it so damn hard? Why couldn't he leave the bastard by just walking away? Lovino didn't understand it. Wait… Yes, he did understand it. He just refused to admit it. The older Italy twin knew he loved his old caretaker. Of course, if he admitted it he would lose all of his pride so he pretended he couldn't care less about the Tomato Bastard. And obviously, he didn't care about Antonio. Right?
~This ain't good bye
It's just where love goes~
"Lovino?" The boy stiffened. "Can you come here really fast?" Romano turned around to face Spain but made no other movements. "You don't have to do this. You can stay if you want you know. I won't mind. Te amo…"
"Wh… What?" Lovino couldn't believe his ears. Did Antonio say he… loved him? No, that wasn't possible. Was it?
~When words aren't warm enough
To keep away the cold, oh no~
"Te amo Lovino. Siempre tengo." (I love you Lovino. I always have.) The older man said it more surely this time, prepared for a fountain of profanities to come out of the other boy's mouth. Instead, he was rewarded with a sobbing Italian in his arms.
"Ti amo troppo, bastardo. But, you know I can't stay. I have to do this. My brother needs me." Romano looked up at Spain, trying to gauge his reaction. Antonio nodded slowly, taking in the information.
~This ain't good bye
It's not where our story ends~
Instead of responding, Antonio surprised Lovino with an action. Gently, he lifted the boy's head up and saw tear-streaked cheeks. Closing the distance, he watched the Italian's reaction with half-lidded eyes. Their lips touched and sparks flew. It was passionate, portraying all of the feelings they couldn't put into words. Lips molding together perfectly, they both sank into the romantic bliss. Finally, they pulled away for breath.
~But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been~
"I still have to let you go don't I, mi amor?" Sadly, Lovino nodded and left his lover's embrace. Walking over to stand by his brother, the Italian glanced back once more at the man he wanted to stay with forever. He knew it wouldn't work though. Not now at least. Italy needed to be put back together before other countries could become involved.
~As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye~
"Maybe… Maybe when my brother and I are united… Maybe then Antonio. Maybe then. Ti amo." At that, the two Italians walked away and left the Spaniard behind for far too long. However, the pain was alleviated for both sides by the knowledge that they would be back together. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the week after. But eventually they would find their way back to each other. Because they had all the time in the world to find each other again.
So, second one. This one was kind of when the Italies united, if you can't tell. I wonder how Spain felt during that time, you know? It must have really hurt because I do believe they love each other.
I'm going to do an Itacest and a GerIta one, but I'm not sure if I will do any others. If you have any ideas, let me know and I will contemplate them. Please give me a basic situation and the pairing, I should be able to get it from there. :D
As always, please review! Flames are welcome, they give me a weapon to fight Mary Sues with!
