After almost a week not updating due to writer's block, I will finally put up the first couple! Spamano for the win! I kinda felt obligated to do this one first, because I had already done my OTP in The New Girl (GerIta) and Spamano is my sister's OTP, so... yeah. Anyways, sorry so late, and please tell me how I'm doing with these!


"What you're doing wrong?" I asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, I think you know already that I am in love with my little Romano," when Elizabeta and I both nodded, Antonio continued, "My problem is that no matter how much I try to tell him, Lovi just keeps pushing me away. I don't understand, it's as if he doesn't believe me."

Elizabeta and I exchange glances, then she began talking, "I don't know Romano as well as I know Italy, but I don't think it's anything you're doing. We have no way of knowing his reasoning yet, but Marie and I will definitely look into it."

"Really? Gracias, chicas. This means a lot to me," Antonio looked over at Francis, who was murmuring sweet nothings into Arthur's ear, "And I never got to congratulate you, amigo. I'm happy you found your love."

"Merci, Espagne. I have no doubt in my mind that you will find yours as well," And Francis and Arthur left, I assumed to get the things necessary for their new cat.

"Now, we need to come up with a plan of action," I started, "I think whenever we do talk to Lovino, it should be somewhere private. He probably won't want to talk about anything involving you or love in public."

"Sí," Antonio agreed, "He is very guarded."

"That's settled, then. I think I know what to do..."


As I waited for Lovino to come over, I went over the plan in my head. First, I would invite him over to my house. I've done that already, and he was on his way. Second, Antonio would hide in the dumbwaiter leading to the attic that was for some reason in my living room. Hungary would be with me to talk to Romano. We would ask him questions and hopefully uncover whatever it is that was making him feel insecure about a relationship with Antonio. If we did end up figuring this out, I would say the code words giving Antonio permission to exit the dumbwaiter. As I finished going over the last part, the doorbell rang. I went over to answer it, and Lovino was there. I did what I always do with Italy. I led him to the kitchen.

"I just bought some ice cream, would you like some?" I offered as I got it out, as well as a couple bowls and spoons.

"Sure, I guess. What flavor did you get?"

"Chocolate. Everyone likes chocolate, right? Come on, I wanted to talk to you in the living room." I handed him his bowl of ice cream and led him into the living room, where Elizabeta was waiting on the couch. I patted the spot next me, encouraging Romano to sit. Romano rolled his eyes at me, but sat anyway.

"There is no not awkward way to start this conversation, so I'm just going to start talking," I stated, "Why don't you admit your feelings for Antonio?"

Romano froze, then shoved a big spoonful of ice cream in his mouth. I smirked at him as a silent way to tell him to stop avoiding the question.

Whenever he had swallowed all the ice cream, he grumbled, "I haven't ever told anyone why. No one would understand, especially not the tomato bastard."

"Why is that?" Elizabeta asked.

Romano huffed, but began explaining, "Veneziano inherited everything from Grandpa Rome. He got the looks, the artistic talent, the fortune. The fortune was the only thing I got, and that's the only reason most of the countries have ever wanted to be friends with me. If I found out Spain only loves me for that, and I give in to him..." he looked away, "I don't even know why I'm telling you this."

I smiled, knowing we had enough info and Toni was dying to come out, so I said the code words, "Tomato churro."

Romano gave me the WTF face as Antonio lifted the door of the dumbwaiter and glomped Romano, "Lovi, I had no idea that was why!"

Lovino was surprised, "H-How long has he been here?!"

"The entire conversation," Elizabeta answered.

Lovi tried to struggle out of Antonio's grip, but stopped when he utterly failed, "So are you mad at me, Boss?"

Antonio was stunned at this question, "Why would I be mad at you? You should've told me this sooner!" He let Romano go, "Lovi, it was never just for the inheritance. I like you because you are cute, and you have a very lively personality. You're my adorable little tomato."

Romano was fidgeting a little as he stood, then finally spoke, "G-Grazie, Spagna," After a little more silence, he added, "Ti amo."

Spain grinned, happy to be finally hearing this, and responded with, "Te amo, también." They both left my house, Antonio nodding to Elizabeta and I in passing as a thank you.

Elizabeta turned to me, "Now that our work is done for today, what do you want to do?"

I looked at my empty bowl, and got an idea, "I am going to go get us some more ice cream," And I left for the kitchen, sealing our fate of watching romantic movies and eating ice cream for the rest of the night.


Author's Note:

First pairing is done! (finally) I hope I did a good job, and you guys liked it. There will be many more pairings after this one, and I decided not to give a hint for the next one (mostly because I haven't decided the next one I'm going to do yet.) But there will be another one as soon as I come up with a story for the next pairing. I'm going to keep this author's note short and sweet, so I'll just say bye! See you next couple!
