Special shout-out to Rainbow-World for her idea! Personally, the only 'date' Romano and Acilio would ever have would be at market, or to Sicily. So, market it is!
Chapter 3: The stalker at marketplace (After the world meeting, country of Italy. Not Feliciano.)
Romano sighed as Acilio eagerly pulled him out of his house and towards the market downtown. The blonde Italian smiled brightly and turned to look at Romano. The brunette scowled.
"You have to buy me something."
"You sound like a girl."
Acilio scowled and glared at Romano. He turned away and staked down the dirt path to the market. Romano followed, not at all confused as to why the other Italian got angry as being called a girl. For as long ad Romano could remember, Acilio had been defensive of his girly build. From slender waist to wide hips, Acilio was basically a girl, and hated it when people told him that.
"Hey!" shouted Romano, grabbing the back of Acilio's shirt after running to catch up to the other male, "Don't run off."
Acilio scoffed, "Don't let people hear you say that. They might think that you actually care."
Romano shook his head.
"Oh, and things look good today. You are buying me something then I get to boss you around at market because that's just what boyfriends do."
"You are fucking kidding me, right?"
"No."
Romano sighed once again. "You are acting like a fucking kid, Acilio. Act your age for once in your life."
Acilio rolled his eyes, "If or when that happens, then you have to go and confess to Spain."
Romano shook his head, causing Acilio to laugh. Together the two headed into town and towards the market. Unbeknownst to the two Italians, a certain Spaniard was following them.
Spain had decided to drop in at Romano's house to say hi and to just spend time with the object of his desires. But, he had shown up just as Romano and Acilio were leaving for the market. Being the smart person he is, Spain decided to follow them around at the market.
Acilio dragged Romano to each and every stall, including the ones with jewelry. Romano just sighed and let his friend drag him along, but not without complaint.
"Really?" he demanded, after Acilio had pulled him into yet another jewelry stall.
"Yes you idiot." Snapped the blond Italian, admiring the necklaces and earrings.
"I'm not buying any of this."
"Never asked you to, bastard." Replied Acilio, buying a simple silver chain necklace with single ornate silver cross dangling off it.
He turned to Romano with a smile, and pulled his pretend boyfriend to another stall. This stall was full of different types of fruit and vegetables. The blonde pulled Romano in the direction of the tomatoes. The nation almost smiled.
"You know what I like."
"It's obvious. Ever since that Spaniard got you into tomatoes, it's the only gift I can give that I know you'll like."
"Spain?"
"Yeah. He was the one who introduced you to tomatoes, right?"
"Er…yeah."
Acilio laughed, and paid for a few pounds of tomatoes. He handed the bag to Romano, and proceeded to pull said man to another stall.
Spain watched the 'couple' with a scowl on his face. He didn't like how Acilio was always tugging on his Lovi's arm. Or the way the blonde would get a bit too close to Romano's face for the Spaniard comfort. The older nation bit his lower lip and scowled.
"Sir, are you going to buy anything? Or are you just going to stare evilly at that couple?" asked the attendant at the stall.
Spain looked at the man, "Um…"
The man sighed, and Spain left the stall. He headed to the same stall where Acilio had bought Romano the tomatoes. He bought a few and continued following the Italians.
"What to buy? What to buy?" mumbled Acilio, looking at some cookware. He looked at a frying pan and shook his head. "Roma!"
"What!" Snapped Romano, not liking the nickname.
"You pick out what to get. You are the one who cooks."
Romano shook his head. "You always cook when you are with your sister. You're better than me at choosing cookware."
Acilio shook his head, "You love to argue, no?" He turned back to the person at the stall and ended up buying a pan that Romano had not seen before.
"What the hell is that for?"
"Paella."
"What the fuck is that?"
"It's a delicious dish. It originated in Spain and is something that I love to eat. When I was visiting Angelique in Spain, she got me addicted to it." Replied Acilio
Romano shook his head, "you have a strange sister."
"For the love of-!" began Acilio, "You know what? I give up. I'm not arguing with you about Angelique!"
Romano shrugged. He had never remembered the reason why Acilio got so angry with Angelique being call his sister. He had met the Spanish woman a few times, and she had acted like a sister to Acilio. So, she must be his sister. (Italian logic, you have to love it.)
The blonde Italian sighed deeply before handing the paella pan to Romano. Then he headed off to another jewelry stall. This time, he bought a set of gold-like hoop earrings, some bangles, and a simply designed ring of what looked to be silver.
"Who's the ring for?"
"Just another one for me." Replied Acilio, placing the ring on his middle finger, next to a gold band on his ring finger. He also had a thumb ring and two very small pinky rings.
Smiling, Acilio turned to Romano. "Want to go back?"
"Finally you bastard. You take forever in these kinds of places. Remind me to never take you to America's markets." Romano held the pan and the tomatoes in his right hand, and slipped his left into the pocket of his pants. Acilio hooked his arm around the brunette's left as they headed back to the house.
Spain watched them and was prepared to bring his axe out of hiding and behead the blonde Italian who was currently hanging off of Romano. The Spaniard followed them through the crowds of the market, and only lost them as they reached the busiest part of the market. He cursed in spanish causing a few people around him to stare. He smiled brightly at them, diffusing any confusion that may have been risen.
