30 Days of OTP

Day 1 – Holding Hands

"Roma~, please?"

"No."

"Por favor?"

"No."

"Per favore?"

"I said no, dammit!"

"Aw Romaaa~!"

Spain pouted over at his boyfriend, who simply raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. The Spaniard whined and tried making puppy eyes, holding out his hand and making little grabby motions.

"The answer is still no idiota, and trying to look cute will not help you." Romano said firmly, looking away.

"But Roma~! I just want to hold mi amor's hand!"

"Well I don't fucking care what you want, I said no." The Italian looked away, cheeks flushing pink, his shoulders hunching just a bit more. Spain sighed softly.

"Okay querido." He relented, knowing that pushing any further would just make Romano uncomfortable and angry. Romano was always like this if other people were around, so Spain supposed that really he'd been running into a dead end trying to get the Italian to hold hands with him in a busy street. The two lapsed into silence as they walked, and Spain didn't notice as Romano started sneaking glances over at him and slowly relaxed his defensive stature.

Spain blinked in surprise when he felt a hand grab onto his, and when he looked over a very red Romano was clinging tightly to his hand and trying to hide his face in Spain's shoulder.

"It's just because I don't want to lose you in the crowd bastard, okay?" Romano muttered quietly, refusing to meet Spain's eyes. The Spaniard simply grinned, knowing the statement was Romano-language for something close to 'I'm doing this because I want to not because you want me to' which was basically 'Fine I'll hold your hand'.

"Sí, okay mi vida." He smiled, pressing a quick kiss to the top of Romano's head and interlocking their fingers. Romano huffed slightly but didn't protest, instead giving Spain's hand a small squeeze before pulling him off towards a market stall.

"Now, I want tomatoes, dammit."
