Just getting this out the way because I really wanted to write Spain in this haha. Ok now onot my other fics!
Lovino exited the factory where he worked that day and he had to say, this being the first time he truly remembered work…he was not impressed. He worked in a potato factory, if it was made of the carbohydrate, this place made it. The Italian tried to work and pretend everything was ok but years upon years of this frustrating work snapped in one day and before he knew it he had kicked a pipe he shouldn't have and the place has been flooded with mash potato.
The factory manager had come to investigate and Lovino expected to be shouted out being the closest and therefore most likely responsible but the man sighed complained about the pipe work and told him to complete his instructions. So dumbfounded and covered in mash he went back to work. That was interesting he told himself, the factory manager wasn't like him and the other workers. He had no pills; he was just a bee in charge of the drones.
He studied the faces of the people as they left the factory with him. Each one was emotionless, unquestioning and conformed. He didn't like it they were all being controlled by pills. He began to formulate a plan.

The next morning everything seemed to go like clockwork. However the Spaniard stood confused seeing the Italian in the kitchen before him. He followed the man's arm and noticed the hand lay on a pile of cards.
"Morning" the boy spoke with a higher tone Antonio was not familiar with.
"Morning Lovino I trust you slept well" he replied automatically as he went to the cupboard to retrieve himself some breakfast. It was empty
"Ah…I have your breakfast" the Italian spoke with a knowing look in his eyes before picking up a bowl from under the table. Antonio turned and sat down across from the man.
"Thank you" he spoke and reached out for the bowl to have his hand slapped away
"No…you have to earn it" he teased. The Spaniard felt a twitch of something seeing the playful mood the other was in, the corners of his mouth seemed to curl a little but it was lost quickly
"Earn it how? This is a waste of time better spent preparing for a day at work" he responded laying his hands over one another watching the other with interest
" we play a game…I deal a card to you and one to me…they have numbers on…whoever has the highest wins ok?"
Antonio nodded seemed simple as the Italian placed a card before him and he turned it over the number 3 was displayed drawn on crudely in marker pen. Lovino turned over his card and the number 6 was displayed.
"I win" he smiled. The twitch came back; Lovino laughed and laced a finger over the pile "we could play again…this time though I have a proposition"
"What?" he asked and watched as Lovino placed his pill bottle on the table "if you win…you get your breakfast back…if I win…you take my vitamin instead of yours"
Antonio blinked and looked at him "but I always take mine" he spoke
"Up to you…break your routine or play one last game" Lovino smiled "tick tock" he laughed pointing to the clock as it got near the time to leave. Antonio twitched more, his mind screaming for the routine but he couldn't have that if he didn't play, he sighed and nodded receiving his card. This time his was 9, Lovino's was a 10. He sighed his routine ruined. He however found the bowl pushed before him and he looked up seeing Lovino place a pill into his hand and put it next to the bowl.
"Keep your promise" he smiled, got up and left the apartment to head for work leaving the Spaniard behind.
-Within the walls of my mind is my own paradise-
Lovino had a more or less uneventful day; he wondered to himself if the Spaniard would partake in his experiment and change his pill this once. He dragged out the notebook he now kept on him and flipped it open, observations and scribbling of the world around him he turned to entry looking over the pill…depending on how his pill affected Antonio he could determine both pills.
He got his answer. Upon entering the flat he noticed the air seemed different, he threw his back to one side and walked into the living room and before he knew it he was tackled from behind and pinned underneath someone on the sofa
"Yay Lovi~" the voice cheered gripping the man tightly, it was when he realised he recognised the voice he spoke
"An…Antonio?" he question before being pulled upwards and sat upright. He turned to see the Spaniard, eyes sparkling emerald green and his mouth curled into a perfect smile. The Italian blushed realising the man had sat him upon his lap gripping him around the waist
"b-bastard!" he yelled pushing at the arms of the tanned male " l-let me go!" he demanded though found he only half meant. The other blinked, smile slipped from his face before he laughed and what a musical laugh it was, Lovino found his heart skipping a beat.
"no Lovi there is no way I am letting you go you are just so perfect in my arms" he remarked before snuggling into the man's neck causing a reaction in the other as his skin was tickled
"Idiot" he murmured as he stopped struggling and let the over affectionate man hold while cooing every compliment and referring to him as every item they had in the flat.
"s-so…how was work?" he asked and Antonio shrugged
"Dunno…I didn't go in the end"
"You didn't go?"
"no I didn't see the point after all I have never taken a day off in all the time I have lived here…so I made food so I could spoil my little Lovi when he got back~"
Lovino stared at the man, his pill made this guy become over affectionate; it must be strong stuff…
-Within the walls of my mind is my own paradise-
Now you are probably thinking that Lovino had a shadow all evening with a Spanish man all over him however this wasn't the case. In fact Lovino's feet never touched the floor, Antonio was so insistent that Lovino never left his arms he carried the man around the apartment cooking and watching TV and talking. At this moment the man had dragged Lovino to his own bedroom and fallen asleep on the small single bed with the blushing brunette snuggled beneath him and the blanket. Lovino stared at his face enjoying the small innocent smile the man had. He had to admit…he preferred the smiling Antonio, the small differences in their personalities made it all amazing. He struggled a little and finally got out his notebook opening it.
On the page were two coloured in oval pill shapes, one red, and one blue, under the red one he write the word 'Love' to describe the effect it had on Antonio, it brought the emotions of a person up. Under the blue he wrote the word 'Lie' to describe the effect on the Spaniard as well, the way it pulled him down, creating a Lie he did not want to see. Once done he hugged the book and settled down to sleep determined to not let the pills control the life of his very attractive roommate (not that he would say it out loud).

Meanwhile far away from the apartment, to the edge of the city and over the large concrete wall and bolted gate there was a lab. Inside the lab a flustered assistant went running through the halls and into a meeting between a business man and the head scientist.
"Sir I have new information about the vitamins effect on the human body"
"What could possibly be so important you interrupt a business meeting?"
"It turns out that there in a 0.00000035% chance that a body's immune system will process the attributes inside the pill and create an anti-venom that dissolves it faster"
The man in the suit looked to the scientist as he pale contemplating the numbers in his head. He sighed.
"Professor this all goes right over my head what do the percentage and numbers mean?" he asked "does it after the Drone sector?"
"oh it affect it greatly sir" he muttered " and yet at the same time not much at all you see if the numbers are correct" he rushed to a window looking towards the concrete "there is a small chance that one or more of the workers…is slowly becoming immune to their pill"
"But you say the number is small right? And even so it's just a few people, probably one person, what damage could they possibly do?"
The scientist nodded "but it might be an idea to put all the workers through testing just to make sure"
"Of course professor" the man smiled "for the sake of paradise"
