Finally, I do not own Hetalia nor the movie
The sun is setting, painting the sky with orange and red with purple glooming on the horizon. Antonio blinks, and blinks.
The park is crowded with children, and he can make out Yao and Arthur's figure at the other side of the park, sitting on a bench while keeping watch of their younger siblings.
Thai is playing tag (or chased around, no one can tell since he's always smiling) with Linh. Mei, Yong-Soo, and the other glasses boy are playing in the sandbox. On the other side of it, Xiang is building a sand castle with a silver-haired boy, it looks like they're chatting. On the jungle gym, Alfred, Peter, Kiku, Feliciano, and Ludwig are playing together. And on the swing set, Matthew is being pushed by…
"Romano!"
Antonio has never run that fast in his whole life, he thinks. Ignoring the surprised look the other children give him, he runs to his son and scoops him into his arms, hugging him so tight the child gasps for breath.
"I-Idiot dad!" Romano pounds on his back with his small fists. "I can't breath! Lemme go!" But Antonio holds him like that for several more seconds before finally letting go, still cradling the boy in his arms. Romano crosses his arms and puffs out his cheeks. "What was that for? You look like you haven't seen me for a hundred years, idiot dad."
Antonio laughs, free and relieved. He nuzzles his face to the boy's soft hair. "Dad is just too happy to see you again, Romano."
"I've been here all along, stupid dad," The kid mumbles, face flushed slightly. "I haven't gone anywhere."
You have, Antonio thinks, but Romano doesn't need to know about that and he's too happy to think about it so he responds by planting a kiss on each of the boy's cheeks. "Dad loves you, Roma."
Romano blushes another shade of red and mumbles, "I know, stupid dad." He nuzzles his head into the man's chest. "I love you too." Antonio smiles on the adorable words and he plants another kiss on top of the boy's head. "Dad loves you so much."
"Stupid dad!" Pulling away, Romano punches his chest half-heartedly. "Let me down now. Mattie's waiting." It's true, the Canadian boy has been watching them with a slightly flushed face, stuffed polar bear sitting on his lap. Antonio gives him a wide smile and sets his son down, although reluctantly.
"Been missing your son, mon cher?" He turns around on the familiar voice and sees his friends Francis and Gilbert approaching, both grinning widely.
"Franny! Gil!" He waves to them enthusiastically. "You're finally here!"
"What do you mean by finally?" Gilbert smacks him on the back. "The awesome me will never be late to pick up my awesome-but-not-as-awesome-as-me little brother." Antonio laughs heartily on that while Francis just rolls his eyes playfully.
"But let's let them have fun a little while longer," Antonio says, returning his gaze to the children, all playing and laughing and looking happy.
Gilbert shrugs. "Don't see why not." Francis nods in agreement and smiles on the sight.
The sound of the approaching steps makes Antonio turns his head to see the blonde-haired Norwegian approaches. Upon seeing them, he seems to be hesitating for a moment, but Antonio gives him a wide smile and says, "Why don't you join us? Your brother is having fun."
He seems surprised, but nods and stops beside them. Gilbert and Francis both turn to look at him. "Who's that, Toni?" Gilbert asks.
"He's here to pick his brother up," Antonio answers. Looking back to the younger man, he says, "I'm Antonio. And these are my friends, Francis and Gilbert."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Francis gives him a wink, and Gilbert moves to cover him from sight. "Don't scare him off, perv. Welcome aboard, kid! I'm the king of awesomeness Gilbert!"
The Norwegian blinks, and his face curved into a light smile. "Christian. Please just call me Chris."
And as Gilbert starts babbling to their new friend about his awesomeness and his awesome little brother, Antonio turns his gaze back to the children and sees Yao waving at him, Arthur glaring at his side. He waves back, smiling, before turning back to his friends and dragging them to the nearby bench with him.
As they chat, the sky slowly turns dark and the children finish their playing, saying goodbye to each other and promising to play again the next day. Chris excuses himself as the silver-haired boy leaves the sandbox, and he takes his younger brother's hand, leaving the park together.
Yao's siblings gather around him and once he makes sure they're all there, he takes Mei and Xiang's hand and walks home, Kiku and the glasses boy on his left side, Thai and Linh on the other side, and Yong-Soo swinging from his back. Arthur has left too with both Alfred and Peter talk endlessly about their day.
Ludwig, Feliciano, Matthew, and Romano approach them, and the three friends stand up. Francis scoops Matthew into his arms and asking him in French about his day. Gilbert gives Ludwig a cheerful slap on the back and asks him what he wants for dinner.
The French and the albino bid their "see you tomorrow" and they leave after Feliciano releases Ludwig from his hug and Matthew exchanges last chat with Romano.
Watching his friends leave, Antonio takes Feliciano's hand in his right one, and Romano's in his left. And smiling down to both of them, he squeezes their hands gently and says,
"Let's go home."
A/N :
The last chapter. Hope you guys who read this like this ending. :)
In the movie, the ending really lacked the emotion, so I added it here. And Chris doesn't remember about Antonio since they've only met when the incident happened. But Francis and Gilbert remember because they've been friends since before. The agent did say "You'll be given your normal life back".
Well, this is a piece of the plot which I copied from wikipedia. The first paragraph is the one for chapter 5-6 (I made it longer).
Doctor Munce takes Telly to an airport and the dilapidated hangar of Quest Airlines and introduces her to an agent of "them". He tells the agent that's "It's over," and to stop the experiment because it will only cause more harm. The Agent replies, "It's not over," and then tells Telly that she has been a part of an experiment to test whether the bonds between mother and child can be diminished. In her case, her memories could not be erased. Telly refuses to deny her son's existence. She is then shown a door and through it she sees her son playing with toys. She tries to cross the doorway, but is repelled by an invisible barrier. The agent mentions that if he fails to erase her memory then he will look like a failure. The agent then subdues her and finally succeeds in erasing Telly's memory of Sam. But when a test question about the name of her son triggers a memory of her pregnancy, all of her memories of Sam return. This causes the Agent to be "abducted" himself supposedly for his failure to erase her memory, which ends the experiment.
Telly finds herself living a normal life, although she remembers everything that has happened. She reunites with Sam at a park. Also at the park is Ash, watching over his daughter. Like Sam, he has no memory of what has happened. Telly "re"-introduces herself, and the two sit and watch the kids play in the playground.
