Amore Mio, Aking Mahal
[Romano x Philippines: Philmano]
Chapter 4
She's gone. Apparently Spain accepted the fact that she deserves to be independent. The fact that she called him "ama", which she told me meant "Father", and the fact he called her "mi hija", which meant "my daughter". Made them realize they what they really were to each other.
If only she saw what she meant to me and returned it.
We still kept in touch. She was allowed to send letters and call whenever she wanted. She seemed to have done so every week or later.
She seems… To be having fun…
"It's amazing how it goes"
"Oh Romano~" Called out the perky Belgian. Romano turned around to see the Belgian girl holding a letter addressed to him. "It's from Phili~ Isn't that sweet that she sent you a letter?"
Romano took the letter and smiled at her. "Thanks Belgium. I'll be sure to read it when I get the chance."
Belgium smiled and left soon after. Romano still could not believe that Philippines left with America who deemed as a "Hamburger eating bastard" Not too long after he left with his Filipina.
He sat down on the closest thing he could sit on. He tore the envelope and picked out the letter from inside. He took a deep breath as he unfolded the letter and read what written in it.
"Dear Lovi,
BEING INDEPENDENT ISN'T AS GREAT AS IT SOUND! I don't understand what to do… I feel like all of my countries problems have just fell on my shoulders!"
Romano actually felt stupid reading that part as an uneasy chuckle came from his mouth.
"To make it worse more countries have been picking on me lately! I could just cry… And Alfred is always saving me! I feel so bad… And I keep getting this marriage proposal for some reason from this one country and I'm scared!
My country is just starting out and we already have problems also! I don't know what to do! I miss being one of Spain's colonies… I wish you could help me Lovi… I could use your help.
Love,
Maria"
Romano sighed heavily as his head fell in between his legs. He looked up into the sky. "I wish I could help you amore mio." He said to himself quietly. "I really wish I could…"
Later that night, before he could take his rest, someone was knocking on the door. He called out for the person to open the door. It was Spain. He came in with a phone and held a few inches farther to his face than it should have been. "It's for you Romano!"
The Italian boy took the phone and put near his ear. Immediately, he was greeted with, "LOVI~!" He pulled the phone from his ear as fast as he could. "Hey Maria…"
"Alfred introduced me to my brothers!" She screamed in glee. "But he got their names wrong… My older brother is named Crisostomo, he's apparently Pilipinas Visayas. Then my little brother is called Emilio Juan, but we all just call him Emilio. He tells me he's Pilipinas Mindadao!"
For some reason, Romano just kept nodding as she went on. "Alright… Yeah! Okay~ Sure." He constantly repeated every time she ended a sentence.
"You know Emilio doesn't understand the tagalog dialect?"She exclaimed. "I was talking with Crisostomo and he didn't understand a word we said! He says he's fluent in Spanish and some language called Cebuano though. So speaking to him is rather difficult."
The Italian yawned. "I see!"
"Oh and Crisostomo is really quiet for some reason. He doesn't talk to us much but when he does, he has a nice deep speaking voice! It's cool! He know how to speak with a Bisayan dialect but it's easy to understand since it's like tagalog!"
"Yes… Yes…" He continued to agree. "Uh… Maria?"
"Yes Lovi?"
Looking at the time, it was nine o'clock. "What time is it in America?"
"It's twelve pm." She replied. Romano sighed at the fact that she might never shut up.
The next day, Romano seemed to have woken up later than usual. He could have gotten up at a later time, but he was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. He picked it up with a sluggish sounding, "Yes?"
"WAHHHH LOVI HELP ME!" A scream emitted from the other line. "I-I met this new country called England! His human name is Arthur Kirkland… He keeps trying to make me one of his colonies! He's really starting to freak me out! And his food is terrible! It's the worst thing I ever ate! It's so bland and gross! It even looks weird! You should see him when he's drunk too! He's so scary! And his such a bossy nag D: HELP!"
"What are you doing up at this bloody hour Philippines?" Said a voice in the background of a British man.
"K-Kuya Arthur!" The girl screamed. "I-I-I-I-I was j-just…!"
"Why the hell are on the phone? You know I don't like you using the phone at this hour! Who could you possibly be talking to anyway?"
"But Kuya Arthur it's m-"
"Hang up!"
The sound of the phone beep was heard. Romano's eye began to twitch. Ideas ran through his mind like a wildfire. First she was taken by some American… Then she finds her Visayan and a Cebuano brothers… And now she has an English man pressuring her? What kind of place is she living in?
Later on in the day, as Romano was pretending to do his chores as usual, he received another phone call from his "Amore"."WAHHH! LOVI!" She cried loudly, he pulled the phone away from his ear again. "Kuya Arthur is scaring me again! He's trying to get me to eat his food again! What the heck are fish and chips? That doesn't sound right! Huh?" She paused shortly. "AHHHH! Kuya Arthur! N-No! I-I-I-I didn't mean it like that! Ah…. I'm sorry Lovi… I have to go again… I'll call you later!"
Romano sighed as he heard the beeping tone. "Ah amore mio, why?"
AUTHOR NOTE:
This chapter was mainly for the lulz before we SPOILIER ALERT get to the chapters in the story were Romano start to "try" courting Phili and all the drama with all the other countries, mainly the male ones, comes into play! So poor Romano~ Looks like you got some competition
By the way for anyone who has read this and actually likes it. I see that most people apparently didn't ship or think of this pair until this fic, which is why I plan on making a series of one shots of mention pairs and more popular one toward Phili. So if you would like to see me write one on your fave Phili pairs write it on the review
