Modern Day
Romano made a huffing sound as his thumb flew across the screen of the phone. He seemed to be typing out yet another message to someone, as he had for the last couple minutes. The vibrating of the phone had pulled him away from a very pleasant
It didn't take much for Uruguay to be able to guess who was on the other end of the phone. It was never much of a mystery who would suddenly feel like talking when Uruguay had a quiet moment with Romano.
He asked, hoping to distract his friend from the conversation, "Is that Spain?"
Romano sighed let out a sharp breath through his nose and momentarily resembled an angry bull. Then he said, looking up at Uruguay, "Yes, it's that bastard."
Uruguay met the other's hazel eyes, and momentarily lost what he was going to say. He could so easily forget how stunning Romano's eyes could be, but a single glance reminded him of it. Romano was so handsome, and it felt like a sin to let himself forget that.
Then, he regained his thought, "You could just leave him on read. You don't need this stress right now."
Privately, there was more he wanted to say. Romano seemed to oblige some of his boyfriend's worse behavior because he thought himself lucky to have Spain. But, Uruguay couldn't help but think it was the opposite. He had never met anyone who could captivate him the way that Romano could. He was full of a kind of infectious fire.
Years of comparison to his sweet-tempered twin had made him blind to the beauty that was so clear to Uruguay. Spain was lucky to have him, luckier than he deserved to be.
Uruguay wasn't jealous, he swore to himself. But, he could already imagine how much better he would treat Romano if he had the chance.
Romano threw his phone down on the table and Uruguay caught it before it skidded off the edge. The Italian said, "You are right. Fuck Antonio and his stupid questions."
Uruguay nodded approvingly as Romano looked down at his own empty cappuccino cup. He dipped his pinky finger into the foam and then brought it to his mouth. He sucked on the finger for a moment in an absent-minded way that made Uruguay warm under the collar.
Romano said, "I want to do something fun."
Uruguay glanced down at his watch, and said, "We could get to the beach before it gets late. And we could get lunch along the way."
Romano smiled, and asked, "Italian food?"
Uruguay nodded, "Of course, Lovi. Anything you want."
