I Just Want to See You Smile-Spamano part
What some countries do and the extremes they go to just to see another smile. Lovina is such a tsundere, never admitting how she really feels about anything, that Spain wants to get her to smile. So he uses her favorite thing in the world: tomatoes.
Oh by the way, cursing will be involved because Lovi is involved.

Romano's POV
I would never admit it, but my favorite part of being in the tomato fields–besides the yummy tomatoes of course–was seeing Spain work with me.
He had told me that I could go outside first, and that he would follow shortly after.
I had rushed outside, all excited and ready, my basket tucked under my arm.
The sun felt good and warm on my arms as I rolled up my sleeves, my mouth watering at the thought of getting to taste the lovely red, ripe fruit.
I adjusted my favorite headband, the one that I never took off, avoiding my curl.
Reaching for the plump, juicy tomato on the nearest vine, I thought back to how I first found my love of tomatoes.
"Hey Lovi~ Want to try one of these? It's un tomate." Spain handed me a tomato.
I looked at it curiously. "Che cosa? Idiota, are you sure…?"
He winked at me. "Just eat it, mi poco tomate.~"
My face turned bright red immediately. "D-don't call me that! Bastard!"
He grinned. "Come on, Lovi~"
I sighed and bit into it. I instantly found the reason to live. Well no it wasn't that dramatic, but still. Heaven on earth in a fruit.
I started humming and tugging the fruits off of the vines happily.
"Lovi!" Ah there he is. I pouted.
"What took you so long, pomodoro bastardo?" I complained, not really meaning the insult.
"Ah lo siento. I was working on something." He laughed and scratched the back of his head.
"Hmmm…" I wasn't sure if I completely believed that excuse.
He shrugged and started to harvest the tomatoes. Suddenly I had a thought.
"Hey I have a question, Spagna. Remember when you introduced tomatoes to me a long time ago? I was wondering…how come you wanted me to try them?"
He stopped picking and rested his chin in the palm of his hand. "Huh, that's a good question Lovi. Well, boss thought you looked sad since I took you from your hermana Feli. Not to mention you two had just lost your abuelo and your home was taken by that Austria. So boss wanted to cheer you up, but I wasn't sure what you liked. My garden is my favorite part of my home so I decided to share it with my Lovi!~"
I blushed at the possessiveness of the Spaniard. "I-idiota…"
He laughed. "You look like un tomate right now, mi Lovi!"
"S-shut up!" I hid my face, which was blushing furiously.
He tugged at my hands and pried them away from my face. "Don't hide your face, Lovi Chiarina. You are muy lindo." He succeeded in exposing my face and gave me a light kiss on the lips.
I blinked, shocked. "I-w-what?!" I tentatively touched my lips where he had kissed me, brushing my fingertips lightly on the spot.
To be honest, I always had been secretly in love with Toni. I wasn't too sure if he liked me back, but I suspected for a while that he reciprocated those feelings.
But I was always scared to really open up to anyone. Ever since Feli and I were little, the other nations had always pushed us around. As I was the older sibling, I had to be the stronger one. Feli was the one everyone adored, everyone wanted to protect. I was the unwanted one, the one that had to fend for herself. I grew up cold and tough, always pushing people away. I just didn't want to be hurt again so I kept everyone at a distance.
For a while, it seemed that Toni was starting to wear down my walls and crack my shell. I tried to act a little nicer to him, because he seemed to be trying so hard for my sake. I almost did open up to him, but then I overheard that dreaded phone call.
"Bastard where are you?" I wanted to see Toni, or boss as he often calls himself. "H-hey, I'm bored, damn it!"
His door was cracked open a little. I was about to call again when I heard him talking. I didn't catch much of the phone conversation, but I did hear some of it.
"Austria, is there any way I can switch? You've got the cute one, while I have the lazy one."
"…" I-I thought that he actually liked me.
My footsteps echoing, I ran, tears starting to fall. To say I felt shitty would be an understatement.
Spagna, you're just like the rest of them. You lied to me. I was a fucking idiot, a fucking fool to believe you were different.
At least, he apologized when he realized that I heard and said that he was just frustrated. I forgave him later, but it still hurts whenever I think back to it.
"Lovi?"
My head snapped up at the sound of his voice. "Si?"
"What's wrong? You got quiet all of a sudden." He's looking at me with such concerning in his fucking beautiful green eyes. Damn it I can't resist. Damn Spaniard.
"N-nothing."
"Oh hey Lovi, boss is going to take these in now. Can you wait out here for a bit?" He gestured to the basket in his arms.
"Why? Can't I come in?" I was confused.
"Oh boss needs to get something done. I need you to stay out here, por favor." He smiled at me. Damn it, that disarming smile that always leaves me speechless.
"O-okay, I guess." He probably had to deal with government stuff or business that has to do with his country, as nations we all have work like that to do. I don't really care about that stuff right now anyway.
"Gracias, mi poco tomate Lovi!~ I'll call you when I'm done." He shut the door behind him.
Ugh, now I'm bored. Oh well, whatever.
I continued to roam the tomato fields, taking the ripest and juiciest looking ones and nibbling on one aimlessly, dropping the rest in my own basket.
The sun was starting to set by now. What's taking that bastardo so long? Well I guess I'll just lie down here and take a little nap.
Spain's POV
I didn't want to tell her what I was doing because it would spoil the surprise, but I was actually in the kitchen, trying to make a bunch of dishes that I knew she liked.
I finally finished and went outside to call her in. "Lovi! I'm finished! You can come in now!"
She never responded.
"Qué?" This was weird.
"Lovi? Where are you, mi querida?" I was starting to get worried. It was getting late after all.
I rushed down the steps and started searching the fields. "Mi poco tomate… ¿dónde está?"
I felt like I was down there for hours, searching for my beloved Italian. "Boss is sorry! I didn't mean to leave you alone for so long."
Just when I thought I would have to give up, I found her sleeping between the plants, curled up sweetly there.
I chuckled a little in relief. How cute. I decided to just carry her in my arms back to the house.
Even though she was almost the same age as me physically, she always just seem so young compared to me. It's easy to forget that her native country has just as much history.
She looks so peaceful…and happy in her sleep.
I sighed. "Oh mi querida, I never meant to hurt you. Back then when you caught me calling Austria, I wouldn't really have stooped this low if I hadn't believed that you hated me and couldn't stand me. It broke my heart to see you cry and look so vulnerable that day. I hated myself for what I did, believe me."
A muffled "idiota" broke the silence. I looked down in surprise. "Q-qué?"
She rubbed her eyes and stared at me. "I said, don't be an idiota. I forgave you a long time ago, so there's no need to bring up the past." She then realized that I was carrying her, bridal style, and turned a bright red color.
I stopped at the doorstep and opened the door. "Lovi, the reason Boss was so busy was because I wanted to surprise you."
She looked shocked. "Y-you did this…all for me?"
I nodded. Lovina looked confused. "B-but why?"
"Porque te amo. I just want to see you smile. You almost never smile, as if nothing makes you truly happy."
She smiled a genuine smile. "That's not true, idiota, pomodoro bastardo. Y-you do make me happy. Anch'io ti amo troppo."
A/N: I HAVE COME BACK! Sort of! Welp I'm rusty with my writing skills. It's been too long. Hope you liked it. If not, Q-Q I'm sorry.
I still have my UK x fem!US fic Protecting Secrets to finish, as well as continue with Allure. I've also been working on a Ita x fem!Pru fic. Too many ideas! I don't think I'll be making a GerIta one. I might do the HongTai one though…Depends. So most likely my next update will be Allure, my muse is kinda low/I have some writer's block with the other one.
Reviews are greatly appreciated.
