A/N: Ok so I hope you like this one! Jeesh, this took me a while! Anyway so… I do check them over but doesn't mean there aren't mistakes. Please tell me if you notice any of them especially the big ones.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia seriously or you would all be doing my bidding! Mwahahahahahahahahaah!

By the way I mentioned this in the second chapter of Feliciano's story but I know the adoption process doesn't take anywhere near this short of time, but it always seems to in fiction and that's what this is, Fiction! So please don't mention that.

Anyway! Have fun reading! And thanks for reading as well.

I was also wondering if you guys would like a one shot on how Camilla became an orphan or perhaps Arthur? (If you don't know who he is he either read Feliciano's story or wait for the next chapter of this one)

warning: SWEARING so if you can't stand it please don't read there not a ton...but enough it is romano we are talking about even if he is nine. plus he's a bit ooc but his is AU it almost comes with the genre.

This whole stupid ordeal was tearing me apart, but I was trying not to show it as I glared out the window in the black fancy car. But you people probably want to start at the beginning. Hmph, fine. But I am going to skip through the really boring parts. Let me think…I suppose it started at about two o'clock in the morning the night after we arrived at the orphanage.

I was woken up suddenly by a startled gasp from the bunk above mine where Feliciano was sleeping. My brotherly instincts kicked in as I quickly sat up, hitting my head on the bottom of the top bunk. I cursed at the pain as I held my head in my hand, feeling the throbbing bump from where I hit my head.

"Feliciano, you okay?" I whispered urgently up to him, glancing over to Antonio and Ludwig making sure they hadn't woken up. They were asleep, well Antonio at least (he was all I could see). I pulled a disgusted face when I noticed that he was drooling.

"Yeah I'm fine go back to sleep Fratello." His voiced came out in scared uneven gasps as he spoke making me roll my eyes.

"Don't you dare pull that crap with me! Tell me about your nightmare!" I said and he paused, not speaking for a minute as I impatiently waited for a response. I snorted at his try on being brave, he didn't have to be brave I was the oldest, which meant I was brave for him.

I slid of the bed and quietly got up climbing up the ladder and onto his bed; I could faintly see his frantic outline on the other end of the bed.

"Romano?" he asked his fear creeping into his voice, I gave him a 'no-duh' look which I realized he couldn't see in the dark.

"Who else idiot." I snapped looking at him visibly relax, I was beginning to adjust to the dark and could now see the dried tears on his cheeks. I watched as he checked over to where Ludwig and Antonio were, I followed his gaze. They were still asleep, he turned back looking at me and sighed I was growing irritated with him.

"So, tell me or I'll throw you off the bed" I whispered harshly over to him. Okay so maybe I was a bit more than irritated at him but still. I could see his gears turning in his head trying to decide what to do.

"I keep having a nightmare of mama and papa lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I-I just think maybe I could have helped in some way." You mean he has had this dream before? I gave him a fierce look if anyone should be thinking they could have helped in someway, it was me.

"Don't you dare say that idiot; you couldn't have done anything, now I don't want to hear you say that again!" I whisper yelled at him, I saw him relax a bit the effects of the nightmare starting to where off. I then decided something as I yawned a bit.

"Scoot over idiot," I said looking at him waiting for him to move over, but instead he just gave me a bewildered gaze.

"You really expect me to climb all the way back down, now scoot over." I said irritated in his not moving, he finally complied scooting over to one side of the bed and I laid down on the other. I remembered when he was little and he would come into my room and crawl into bed with me without my permission (it was without my permission! Dammit!). I slowly drifted off into the darkness that griped my body.

"-to wake them up. Oh well." I heard an annoying voice say into the darkness. I felt some shifting on the mattress.

"WAKE UP!" The annoying voice said making my peaceful darkness shatter and the to-bright light stream into my eyes as I was put on high alert. But instead of some murderer or something I was met with the glowing face of the annoying bastard Antonio.

"Fucking Godamn bastard he can just leave us the damn fuck alone seriously…" I trailed off muttering angry curses as I glared at him; I looked over Feliciano who looked startled but just smiled at him. I would never get my brother.

"Good you're up breakfast" I heard the emotionless voice of Ludwig say; seriously that kid needed more emotions. I mumbled a few more curses as they climbed down the ladder both me and Feliciano following after them.

We joined the rest of the kids as we all moved as a group sleepily down the steps most of us still in our pajama's.

"Hi Feliciano!" A girl that we had met at dinner last night came over waving at Feliciano; she was the same age as Feliciano so she was only a year younger then me. She still had on green pajama pants on along with a white t-shirt on.

"Hey Camilla!" I heard the excited voice of my younger brother say as he greeted her. She then turned to me.

"Hi Romano!" She giving me a happy greeting I gave her annoyed look back but I couldn't help the small smile that crawled on my face at her similarities to my brother.

"I'm really excited for breakfast! Every Saturday we get pancakes." Camilla said obviously excited by this fact. What I really wanted was a tomato, but pancakes would do. So caught up in my thought's I didn't realize when my brother was dragged off by Camilla until they were halfway down the stairs.

"Hey wait!" I yelled as I chased them down the stairs and into the dinning room. Where several tables were set up all with plates and cups, the plates each had two pancakes on them, my mouth watered at the sight. The rest of the children filed in creating a loud and noisy atmosphere, I followed Camilla who had dragged my brother off to a table in the corner.

"OK! Quiet now!" Bella's voice echoed around the room as everybody shut their mouths looking in her direction.

"Ok then, now I want everybody to be on their best behavior today. We have a couple who is thinking about adopting one of you." It was selfish of me but I was hoping that me and Feliciano wouldn't get adopted so that I would be the one in charge of us. But I tried to push the thought to back of my mind.

"So after breakfast I want everybody to help clean up around here understood." I looked at her annoyed; did I really have to clean up?

"Ok then! You can eat" her happy voice called out as she stepped off the box she uses to announce stuff. I gave her a thankful look as I dug into my food.

"I hope I get adopted." Camilla said as she played with her food pushing a strand of auburn hair out of her face.

"I bet you will!" My ever happy brother said trying to convince her and it seemed to be working.

"You think so?" She said setting down her fork, turning to look at Feliciano. I was sick of this conversation but I didn't want her crush her feelings.

"Yes you idiot now eat."

Even though I didn't want to I ended up cleaning helping the bastard Antonio straiten the rooms. I also had been trying to make sure my brother didn't get distracted as I tried to get him to take a shower and get dressed for the day. Finally I ended up on my bed nursing the start of a headache as Camilla looked at the mirror on the wall and kept asking if she looked okay.

"Are you sure I look ok?" She said giving the green dress she had on a spin, I gave a huff as I rolled over lying on my back.

"Yes you look fine; we've been over this before you. Look. Fine." I said starting to stand up to see if I could find some alone time somewhere else. She turned to me grinning from ear to ear then ran over giving me a giant hug.

"You're so sweet Romano!" She said squeezing the air out of me I gasped as I couldn't breathe.

"Get off!" I gasped as I tried to pry her fingers off from around my chest.

"Their here! Places!" Bella shouted making Camilla drop her arms and I sucked in the beautiful air. She smiled as she waved to us and we stood outside of our doors as Antonio directed us. I could barely hear her answer the door and the murmur of voices as the ascended the stairs. They were discussing who they would like to adopt, they decided a boy. Well there goes Camilla's hard work.

I saw them start to walk down the hallway the women's excessively high heels clicking against the floor. And the man's suit looked stuck up and uncomfortable. They passed over most people only stopping for a bit at Roderich, the stuck up bastard he was. But they stopped in front of me as the women smiled at me; I flinched at her cold heartless smile, unlike my mama's warm smile.

"Well aren't you cute!" She said pinching my cheeks; I glared at her squirming out of her grasp.

"Go away woman!" I managed to spit out, her smiled drooped for a second then with a quick hard pinch she let go turning to Bella.

"I think if it's alright we'll take him" The heartless bitch said but Bella calmly looked at her.

"I'm sorry but you have to adopt him and his brother." She said her face not showing any emotion. The women looked over to my brother with a cruel smile. I clenched my fists trying not to punch her; nobody looked at my brother like that!

"Can I talk to you for second?" The Cockroach said (I think that's her new name) said to Bella leading her away from us. Her husband just looked strictly at us. After a few minutes of discussion Bella, with a very uptight face turned quickly on her heel facing the stuck up prick.

"Now if you follow me I can take you to sign paperwork." She said leading them away. I noticed Feliciano's eye's light up, but I wasn't so sure. As everyone gathered around us congratulating us I was barely there, I was thinking. I wondered if they only adopted me, what would I do? I came up with that I would have to go with them, no matter how much I hated it. Because if I didn't something might be done to Feliciano. And also what if they were mean and cruel? I wouldn't want my brother near them. At least he would be safe here.

I only really was in the present when Camilla came to say goodbye and congratulations. I could see she was mad and frustrated and looked like she was about to cry. But she gave a small goodbye then walked off out of the crowd. Bella walked into the crowd and they parted revealing us in the middle.

"Romano please pack your belongings." I looked at her I was scared of this she better be saying 'and Feliciano'. But she didn't and Feliciano looked confused that she only said my name.

"I'm sorry Feliciano but you're staying here." She said I bit my lip and my tongue and did everything possible not to lash out at her. I looked over to Feliciano and almost jumped, I could see the rage building in his eyes. It looked so out of place on him. I had never ever seen Feliciano get this mad out of all the years he had been alive.

"I hate you! I hate you!" He screamed the crowd backed off more looking at the rage as he charged toward her. I grabbed him quickly holding him back as he tried to get at her she looked a bit fearful, a small part of me smugly looked at her, 'she should be scared it serves her right'.

"No, I'm not going," I said looking at her shaking my head, Feliciano calmed down a bit and now instead of rage it was tears. But she looked at me, I knew it wouldn't work, but it was worth a chance.

"I'm sorry but you don't have a say in this, pack your bags, or I'll have to drag you to them with none of your stuff." She said her voice unwavering. I was tempted for a second to yell 'fine! Do that but I'm not going' but I couldn't. I quietly turned around walking into my room trying to escape the to-silent-silence of the hallway. I could feel Feliciano following me as I grabbed my bag which had just gotten unpacked, and repacked it.

"I promise you that when I turn eighteen I'll come find you ok. Don't do anything stupid." I said as I carefully placed the pocket knife on top of everything. I said it with the most even voice I could muster, trying not to show the tears that were trying to fall. The walk down the steps was the fastest and yet the slowest walk ever. The two stood there their cruel smiles cutting into my flesh. I gave them the best 'I-fucking-hate-you' glare I could muster.

"Time to go home Romano." The Cockroach said and without giving her any recognition or response I followed them down the steps. Not looking back as I followed them down there, knowing if I did he would see the tears in my eyes. And that would never happen.

Being fucking eighteen couldn't come fast enough.
