WARNING: I just wanted to reiterate for anyone that did not read the warning in the first chapter. This story has been edited, and the previous first two chapters have been combined for various reasons. I believe it made things smoother, but let me know if that is not the case. Also, this story contains a lot of gore, infantilism, horrific scenes, blood, rape, rotten love, chocolate, and perhaps obvious BDSM.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**A Love**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Romano, can you believe it? Today is the day that she is legally ours!" Antonio beamed.

"Sì, marito. After so much time, so many trials, you have finally succeeded in giving me the child I have always dreamed of." Placing himself in Antonio's strong arms, Romano sighed happily.

"I only wish I could have done it sooner mi amor. Three years ago you fell in love for the second time, and I have failed you in making her ours. But today, things will change. I promise you, hermoso." Holding Romano tighter, Antonio breathed softly into his ear.

"I know, Antonio. It has not been easy though, we both know that. She has relocated so many times, become so many faces. All beautiful. But none mine. And now, now we have her where we need her to be." Romano decided darkly.

Breathing in Romano's shampoo, Antonio smirked.

"You sound as I did on our first date, Romano. Do you remember?"

Blushing lightly Romano replied. "How could I not, bastardo? That day changed everything..." Sighing dreamily, he remembered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**So Deep**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten years before. Freshman Romano and Senior Antonio.

Exactly at 7:00PM Antonio arrived at Romano's home, a box of expensive Venchi chocolate in hand.

Smiling brightly at the gesture Romano took the chocolate, and thanked him for the gift.

Having decided on going casual, Romano had opted in wearing what he had worn to school that day. But after he noticed the man's outfit, he knew he had made some sort of mistake. For before him was the god-like creature in a beautifully tailored suit with a fedora tipped slightly on his head.

If looks could kill, it was definitely a deadly arsenal in his weaponry.

"Um..I thought you said we were going to a café?" Romano choked out, embarrassed by his own outfit.

"I did, mi amor. And I'm sorry I'm so over dressed. I didn't know my boss would need me today, and I had to make a quick delivery before I could get here. Otherwise I would have not worn this old thing."

"O-old? It looks brand new!" Romano squeaked.

Chuckling lightly, "It was one of my boss's son's suits, but due to several unforseen circumstances his son passed away before his prime. My boss did not want the suits to go to waste so he gave them to me. Good thing too, because I can see how much you like it." Smirking darkly, Antonio reached out and placed a stray hair behind the Italian's ear.

"...oh. Well. Um...how do you know my name?" Romano finally choked out, unsure of what else to say.

"Your brother, Feliciano, told me. He told me a lot about you actually, he is a bit of a rat, don't you agree?" Antonio spat out.

"What? No one has ever said that about Feliciano! They all think he's this perfect, sweetheart, and that I'm the bad seed." Romano puffed out sadly.

Gripping Romano's cheek, Antonio forced Romano to maintain eye contact with him.

"The people who tell you such things are hypocrites. They would not know good if it rammed itself in their eye, forced them to eat their own heart, and made it watch while it raped its closest love one. They do not know of innocence. Your innocence, Romano. Please do not let their foolishness get to you, you are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes upon, and I do not want their jealousy to stain your very being. Only listen to what I have to say Romano, I'm the only one who will matter anymore. Do you understand?"

"...u-um...yes. T-thank you." Romano stuttered, blushing profusely from the attention.

Smiling happily, Antonio was about to usher Romano out of the house when his cell phone vibrated.

Sighing heavily, Antonio took out his cell phone, read the message, and placed the phone back into his pant pocket.

Grasping Romano's hands, Antonio kissed both the Italian's knuckles.

Carefully he began, "I'm sorry Romano, but my boss just left me another message. I-I have to go."

"Can't you tell him you're busy?" Romano asked disappointed.

"N-no bella. I'm sorry, it doesn't exactly work that way. But I promise you that I will make this up to you. I will lavish you with gifts, bring you to all the finest restaurants, make you feel desired in ways no one else could. I'm sorry beautiful for having to leave so suddenly, but I'll make it up to you. I'll call you at nine to wish you a good night, alright?"

"O-Ok...I'll give you my numb-"

"No need, mi amor, I have it."

"..wha-how?"

"Silly Romano, your brother is not very bright. He'd obviously allow anyone to have any information (even yours) to just have a minute of someones spare time. That idiota." Antonio grumbled darkly.

Chuckling Romano pecked the grumbling man's cheek.

"It's OK. You can beat him up later for me."

"And I will, Romano, I'll do anything for you."

"Good, now go do your job before you get fired." Romano giggled.

"...right. I'll talk to you tonight, right Romano?"

"Yeah...I know this is odd to ask, but what is your name?"

"Antonio, bella. It's Antonio." the Spaniard breathed.

Once the man had left, Romano could help but chant the creature's name as if in a trance.

Antonio actually liked him, and DIDN'T like Feli. He thought Romano was cute even...

Oh Dio, if this is some cruel joke please do not let it end. Romano pleaded softly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**It Suffocates**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Present day.

Suddenly a door clicked open as Antonio escorted Romano into the building.

"We're almost there." Antonio whispered, firmly grasping Romano's hand.

"Stay close to me, and do not let go of my hand. Do you understand, ángel?"

"Sì marito, I understand." Romano softly replied.

"Remember Romano once we are in his office do not speak. If I hear one peep out of you I will punish you thoroughly. Understood?" Antonio commanded.

"Yes." Bowing his head submissively, Romano allowed Antonio to lead him into a seat in the waiting area, leaving only to confirm his appointment with the secretary.

After doing so he swiftly walked back towards Romano, and sat beside him. Slowly bringing the submissive man's hand to his lips, he whispered sweet nothings to him.

"Mi querido Romano. Usted es sumisión me permite ser una mejor persona, y estoy muy, muy afortunado de tenerte. Gracias por este regalo que me han dado. Gracias, mi amor."

Blushing Romano tucked his head under the Spaniards, and nuzzled his chin playfully. Before Antonio could respond they were interrupted by Dr. S'In's sudden replacement Dr. Honda. The small Japanese man politely led them into his office, and shut the door behind them.

"Hello Mr. Carriedo, Mrs. Vargas. I know today is a very important day for the two of you." Dr. Honda began cheerfully.

"Sí it is. We've waited for this day for a very long time." Antonio beamed back.

"Yes well, before we begin the exchange I must warn you on the off-chance that Dr. S'In did not. This exchange is not an everyday occurrence, and is highly regarded as illegal in most countries. Thankfully this country so far has kept it legal and under-wraps, but that may change at any moment. You do understand that don't you, Mr. Carriedo?"

"I do. And it will not be a problem. Not now, not ever."

"Alright, if the two of you are alright with the possible consequences, then perhaps we should get right down to it." Dr. Honda gathered a file from one of his drawers, and gradually explained each document and its meaning.

"Now, you must sign this stating that you have the health insurance that will cover the child...And you must sign this showing that you are physically able to care for this child..." And so, Romano waited nearly an hour before everything had been signed. Entertaining himself only with the thoughts of seeing his baby girl once again.

Placing the signed documents back into the file, Dr. Honda firmly let out his hand towards Antonio. Getting the hint Antonio took out his wallet and furnished ten thousand dollars into the waiting palm.

"For your troubles..." Antonio winked.

After having shaken hands, Dr. Honda led the couple into a hallway. As they walked closer to their soon-to-be child, Romano began to cry.

Seeing this immediately, Antonio wiped the Italian's tears, and smiled.

"It's almost over, Romano, it's almost over." He promised sweetly.
