Spain awoke again in the same bed he was in before and with the same cool feeling on his forehead. 'I guess Lovi heard me.' Spain thought smiling slightly. Then he looked over and saw Romano sitting in a chair facing the wall.
"Lovi?" Spain questioned, propping himself on my elbows. "You okay Lovi?" Spain questioned again, concerned by the fact that Romano was sitting with his knees pulled up against his chest with his arms and he was, again, facing a wall. Plus there was also the fact that Romano's curl was screwed up and kinked, that always happens when he's upset. Romano turned his head around at Spain's voice.
"Si, I'm fine. There's nothing wrong here." Romano said bluntly, breathing out roughly and shaking his head.
"Do you need anything? Water or something?" A voice called from the hallway. A tan, tall young woman stood at the doorway, her red eyes shining a bit in the dim light. "And Lovi's fine, Papi." She said, looking over at the Italian male. Romano huffed, his cheeks puffing out. Spain looked over at Romano. Spain know when he was lying... something was up. But Spain just smiled.
"Ah~ That's good~" Then he turned to Puerto Rico. "I'm fine for the moment, gracias~" The brunette nodded before walking back down the hall. Romano looked to Spain.
"She came unexpectedly. She helped with a lot of things..." Romano said, turning his head away. She was really tall; she even dwarfed Romano and made him feel like a little hobbit. Puerto Rico was also really strong. Romano couldn't understand why she wouldn't break away from that loud annoying America. Spain smiled again before lying back down on the bed.
"Lovi?" he asked quietly.
"Hmn?" Romano answered turning his head.
"Can you come lay with me?" Spain asked quietly, almost afraid Romano would refuse, Spain still being a little feverish and all. He was feeling better though... Romano hesitated before nodding and climbing on to the bed with Spain, his tail flicking softly. Spain smiled and gently kissed Romano's forehead. Spain didn't want to do too much (it was killing him though, and the heat of the fever didn't help, at all.) because Puerto Rico was there...
Romano's ears went back and he smiled lightly. "Don't go too far. I have a feeling you're tempted." Romano said. Spain smiled and laughed a bit.
"Si, I am, don't worry though.~ I'm restraining myself~" Romano looked at him questionably.
"You can't restrain yourself, no one can. You simply take your mind off it." Spain laughed heartily this time.
"Always so logical Lovi~ Alright~ I'm taking my mind off of it~" Romano smiled lightly, purring sharply. Spain smiled and rubbed Romano's back. Then he rested his head on top of Romano's and drifted off to sleep, glad to have Romano safe in his arms.
Puerto Rico smiled lightly as she looked in from her old room, her brown hair covering her tan face and red eyes. Puerto Rico's father (Spain) and Romano loved each other very much. Then, there was her other father (Prussia), who also loved Romano. Puerto Rico even knew that it was only Romano and Spain really TRULY loved each other.
Lying there with Romano in Spain's arms was great, but the dream he had, not so much. Prussia was there, violating Romano, and Spain was frozen in place. Not able to move. Romano called for him repeatedly, begging for Spain to save him, but all Spain could do was stand there. Then it got worse. Romano actually started to enjoy it. And all Spain could do was watch in horror as the albino looked directly at him and smirked. "Told you Roma would be mine~" He purred. Tears rolled down Spain face as Prussia began to laugh. -fever nightmare end-
Romano turned his head as he felt wet tears hit his shoulder.
"Spain, wake up!" Romano said loudly in his ear. Spain's eyes shot open and he looked downward to find Romano staring at him, his eyes filled with worry. 'It was just a dream...' Spain sighed in relief and smiled.
"I'm alright Lovi~" Spain said, trying to ease his worry. Romano narrowed his amber eyes suspiciously.
"Spain, do you think you can at least go to the couch in the living room?" Spain looked at Romano with confusion. Go to... the couch?
"¿Por qué?" Spain questioned.
"I can't stay inside, I'll go crazy. I need to move around. You can watch me from the couch if you're wary about Prussia showing his tail about." Romano said bluntly, staring at the green eyed male.
"Oh~ Okay~" Spain smiled and moved his arms from around the young Italian before sitting up, slowly. Then, with a little support from Romano, Spain was soon lying down on the soft couch with a light blanket over him. Now Spain could make sure that Prussia didn't poke around where he didn't belong. Romano was actually wearing decent clothing. However, his shorts were purposely unbuttoned and unzipped, since it caused his tail a great amount of pain for it to be buttoned and zipped. Romano slipped out the door in the sunny back lawn, and sorta stretched before venturing into the tomato field. Spain lay on the couch, positioned so he was looking out at the tomato field where Romano was. Spain smiled happily and blissfully as Romano carefully chose tomatoes and placed them in the basket he was carrying. Spain couldn't help but stare. 'He's so cute,' Spain sighed and smiled. The window was also open. This was Spain's doing, just in case the albino neko showed his face again. Spain would not hold back no matter what if Prussia tried anything again.
Puerto Rico walked out of her room and into the living room to see her father lying on the couch.
"Hola, Papi." Puerto Rico said, smiling. "How's life other than your fever and Lovi's skirmish with Prussia?" Spain's eyes widened and he whipped his head in Puerto Rico's direction.
"Y-you heard about that?!" Spain shrieked.
"Si. I was the one who had to forcefully bandage and put band-aids on small cuts." Puerto Rico said, showing long scratches lacing both her arms. "He puts up quite a fight." She said, breathing out. "Maybe it's cause he's scared of me. I mean I'm practically six feet and I'm really strong..."
"A-ah... I see..." Spain said nervously. Then he looked out the window again, seeing nothing wrong, he turned back to Puerto Rico. "I just want to... I don't want that to ever happen again..." Spain placed his head in his hands and shuddered. "I can't believe I let it get that far... If Lovi hadn't..." Spain shuddered.
"Papi, don't worry, he would have been fine. He may have been battered pretty badly by Vati, but he would have been fine." Puerto Rico said, looking out at Romano. She sat on the couch arm, smiling. She sorta missed the days we were all together. A family. Spain, Puerto, Prussia, and Guam. She missed it greatly. But times have changed. For good. "You know Romano is really in love with you, correct?" Spain smiled, a faraway look present in his eyes.
"Si~" Spain said happily. "And, I love him with all my heart.~" Puerto Rico smiled lightly, closing her red eyes. She flexed her fingers and sighed, looking away.
"There are too many memories in this house." Puerto Rico said at random. She breathed out heavily. "I feel old." she said, bowing her head. Spain smiled and pushed Puerto Rico's hair behind her ear.
"You're not old.~" Spain chuckled. Then he looked behind him to check on Romano again. All's well. He leaned back into the couch before coughing a few times. "If anything, I'm old. I actually get the flu from cold rain." Spain chuckled and coughed again. Puerto Rico smiled.
"No, I am. I'm a sentimental old fool." she said. "Sometimes it hurts to come back here. Because of the times we were all a family. Before America took it all away." Spain wrapped Puerto Rico in his arms and smiled sadly.
"It's okay Puerto Rico... I know it's hard... but at least you can see me. And Prussia." Spain said. "I really do miss when we were a family." Puerto Rico was bit ashamed of bring it up. Plus, there was something she had to tell Spain and Prussia. But she didn't want Spain to notice anything. Not yet.
"I'm going to get something to eat." She said, wriggling out of Spain's arms quickly.
