"I still can't believe we didn't win", Romano complained while getting under the sheets of his and your bed.
They had gone to America's annual Halloween party that evening, and as usual there was a group costume contest. At first when Romano found out their group didn't win he didn't seem to care. It wasn't until they had arrived home did he begin to complain.

"Don't let it bother you. Remember it was just for fun", you answered also crawling under the sheets. He began to quietly grumble in Italian as you switched off the light on the nightstand.
"Some of those damn jerks weren't acting like it was 'just for fun''
You cuddled into his chest whispering, "Good night Lovi"
Romano sighed wrapping his arms around her before whispering back, "Night"

What the two didn't know was that their night was just beginning. A couple hours into your slumber, you began to hear strange noises from downstairs. You slowly opened your eyes listening to the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs. Were those sounds just in her head? Curious, you nudged Romano making him groan.

"Do you hear that?"

"Mnh…Hear what?"

CREAK…!

You looked up to see his eyes like slits and an eyebrow raised on his face. He wasn't looking at you, but seemed to be listening just as you were doing. The house fell silent. The sound of soft snoring made its way to your ears. You looked to see your boyfriend soundly asleep. Sighing, you shut your eyes and tried to fall back to sleep.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

Your eyes shot open.

THUMP, THUMP…

You listened as the footsteps continued to get closer to the room. Slowly, you began to sink under the sheets.

THUMP

"Lovi"

THUMP

"Lovi!"

THUMP

"LOVINO!"

Romano quickly sat up and shot you a glare.

"What?!"

"Listen!"

He looked towards the open doorway and listened. Once again the house was silent. Romano turned to give you a pissed expression.
"I heard someone walking down the hall and stairs!"
"It could just be the house creaking"
"No no! It wasn't the house! If you were actually awake to hear it you'd know for certain too!"
"Well I'm trying to sleep not listen to a freaking CREAKY HOUSE!"

"IT'S NOT THE HOUSE!"

"YES IT IS!"

" NOT!"

" IS!"

"You know what? Fine! Sorry for interrupting your sleep!"

You moved over to your edge of the bed and turned away from him. Romano huffed and turned away also. An awkward vibe entered the room. He peaked over his shoulder at you. You were curled up in a ball underneath the covers. His glare weakened when he saw you cringe at a sound that came from the stairs. He began to feel bad about being so hard on you. You felt an arm wrap around your waist.
"If you're trying to get a 'treat' from me you must be crazy", you hissed.
He left a small kiss on her neck before nuzzling it.
"I'm sorry. I don't like arguing with you or seeing you upset"
You took in his words for a second, and turned to face him.

"Hm?"
Romano pulled you closer and placed a light kiss on your forehead.
"No…I'm sorry", you whispered.
"Don't be", he responded.
"I'm keeping you from sleeping just because of some-

CREAK…!

The noise was followed by breathing.

HEAVY breathing.

"…sounds", you continued.
Romano got out of the bed and stretched his arms out groaning.
"What are you doing?"
He glanced over at you before turning and beginning to walk out the room.
"I'm going to go see where those noises are coming from"
You jumped out of the bed and interlaced your fingers with his. Before he could tell you that you didn't have to come you whispered,
"I'm going with you no matter what you say"
His face slowly began to turn red and he gently squeezed your hand turning back towards the doorway. Together you two walked out into the dark seemingly endless hallway.

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

Hurried footsteps were heard not too far ahead of them. Romano began to fastly walk after the noise practically dragging you. When they finally arrived at the top of the stairs, a figure yelped and began tumbling down them. You exchanged glances at each other before watching the shadow moan in pain rolling around slowly.
Suddenly, two figures began sprinting toward them. You took a step back, but were soon behind Romano with him standing in front of you protectively. Soon the figures were on the floor. Before Romano could continue beating them you said, "…Spain? Prussia?"
Romano froze causing a sigh of relief to come from the two men below them.

"That must mean the one who fell was-

"The frenchie bastardo"
They all looked down at the groaning French man. Romano shot a glare at Spain and Prussia.
"What are you doing here?!"
"We were looking for the candy!" Prussia told them.
"Candy?" the couple said at the same time.
"Ja! Spain told us you guys had a bowl full of it!"

Romano raised an eyebrow at Antonio making him chuckle nervously.
"I heard you guys speaking of it at the party"
"France was trying to peek into your room to see if it was in there, but you guys came out", Prussia added.
"Mhm", France groaned from the bottom of the stairs.
"They want candy, Romano. I'll be right back"
You smirked and skipped off to your bedroom. Romano watched confused as you disappeared into the room.

"Wow Romano, you're being pretty awesome about the situation! You didn't punch our faces in!" Prussia laughed.
"I expected you to be pissed that we heard you trying to get a 'treat''
Romano shot them an annoyed look.
"I wasn't trying to get a 'treat' stronzo"
"Sure~"
Spain watched with fearful eyes as you returned with a bowl filled with large lollipops.

"Run…" he muttered.
Prussia looked at him confused.
"What?"
A lollipop flew in between there heads.

"RUN!"

Spain and Prussia quickly ran down the stairs and scooped up France. Romano laughed as you continued to viciously throw the sweets at them as they left your home. As soon the front door slammed shut you sighed looking down at the now empty bowl. Soft lips were suddenly pressed against your cheek. You looked up to see Romano chuckling with a (rare) smile on his face.
"Only you would throw candy at the trio to get them to leave. Ti amo Name"
You returned the smile and began leading him back to the bedroom.
"I love you too. Now, I think it's about time you got your treat"

He was silent for a second before basically running for the room.

=Outside=

When the bad touch trio heard noises coming from inside the house they all looked up at the bedroom window. Spain and France chuckled.
"Oh, I see~ We get the trick and Romano gets the treat", Spain laughed.
"Well, at least someone got a treat", Prussia grumbled still upset they didn't actually get candy.
