Romano was in front of México's house, he knocked the door and placed his hands on his pockets, he looked up at the sky, sighing softly, he closed his eyes
~Flash back~
-Lo-Lovino- a girl called him, she looked about 15 years old, her clothes were ripped and her face bruised, her eyes were spilling tears. Lovino turned to see her, slightly annoyed, but his expression softened, he grabbed her by the wrists and looked at her eyes
-Maria…it was him, right?- he asked
Maria nodded and Lovino accidently held her tighter
-Ah, i-it hurts- she cried
Lovino quickly let her go
-I'm sorry- he apologized and grabbed her hands gently
He guided her to the bed and made her lay down; he cleaned her face and arms gently, weirdly he wasn't annoyed by it, instead, he was happy to just touch her body. When he finished he looked at her eyes, his face slowly got closer to her and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Maria hesitated to, but kissed back; it got deeper after a while, and both lost their breath
-Do…you…love me?- Lovino asked seductively stroking her bottom lip with his thumb
-…I can't tell you know, maybe someday…not now-
-Why?-
-I'm getting independent, I cannot have that kind of strings right now, it would be a distraction…also, we can't meet anymore- She bit her lip, Romano was wide eyed, he hugged her tightly
-Ragazza idiota, he will kill you!- he growled
-I'm sorry- Mexico pushed and left him, Romano held his face in his hands
~End of flash back~
Lovino was hugging himself "she doesn't remember…right?" He felt another pair of arms, and turned to see who it was
"Ma-Maria?" he blushed, how many time did he spend remembering?
-Hola Lovi- she smiled at hi, then took his hand and led him inside her house
