Vanessa let her hair down pulling out her brush and running it down her hair, it took a lot to manage her hair but it was worth it. She cut her hair shoulder length before and regretted every doing so, short hair wasn't for her. Thankfully her hair grew back out in no time, never again will she cut her hair like ever. Pushing her bangs back she tied her hair into a tight and neat bun walking to the bath room to brush her teeth. The day was full of fun things, pasta, walking around the city, pasta, playing some games with Italy, pasta, and just relaxing, was pasta mentioned? Not only all that but she met Italy's brother and she wasn't going to lie he was hot. Prussia would have a heart attack if he found out she was crushing on someone, especially someone she just met. But come on! Have you seen him! Those beautiful eyes and that gorgeous face of his, not to mention his pretty dark hair.
Vanessa opened the door and stepped out into the hall just as Italy and Romano opened their doors, talk about perfect timing. She smiled gentle at them and put her hands behind her back
"Good night Italy, good night Romano"
"Good night Vanessa!" Feliciano chirp then entered his room,
"Yea, night" both doors clicked softly, she walked back to bed turned off the light pulling the blanket to her chest and closing her eyes, first day of Italy is down two more to go. Just thinking about leaving made her a little sad she wanted to stay a little longer. Right now wasn't the time to be sad she needed to be happy that Prussia even let her go with out a fight.
Gilbert paced his room deep in thought, was his little sister alright right now? Was she hurt and no one can get to her? No, there is no way that could happen Vanessa is a strong girl she can handle herself no problem. 'Maybe I should call and say good night and see how things are, no no no I don't want her mad at me for calling so much'. he sighed out loud and fell back onto his bed looking up at the ceiling going over things in his head. This was his one and only little sister, if anything happened to her he would personally kill them himself. No one and he means no one will hurt or touch his little sister, unless they want a missing arm. Its only three days, well two now, she'll be back home soon and things can go back to normal.
He missed his little sister already, it just wan't the same around this place with out her. If he tried to mess with Ludwig he'd just get all grumpy and mad, he doesn't know what fun is. That and he is not fun like Vanessa is, she'll joke around with him and can hang with his friends and be cool. Vanessa was awesome, but no where near as awesome as he was no one could be that awesome. She shared the same awesome blood that is made up of beer! He closed his eyes and started to drafted off into sweet, sweet darkness, thinking of his sister.
Vanessa jumped up out, now in setting position, breathing heavily her eyes widened in fear. She wiped the cold sweat from her face and let out a sigh of relief, it was only a nightmare and nothing more. Pushing the covers off her body Vanessa stood up and walked out her room to the kitchen getting a glass of water. It was all so strange, she hadn't had a nightmare in god knows how long so why one now? So many things where going on at once it was hard to remember all that had gone on. But she did remember a few things that had happened during the dream not a lot but enough to know it wasn't good
It all started in a room about the size of a full sized basement, it was dark, pitch black inside. She couldn't even see a foot in front of her but she could see a small about of light in the distance. Her arms where chained above her, they where tight around her wrist to the point where it felt like they where about to bleed. Her legs where pulled up to her chest and her head rested on her knees. No matter how much she wanted to scream and fight she couldn't, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was move her head side to side and legs up and down, everything else was stuck in place. Out of no where foot steps came from the other side of the room, a pair of bright green eyes appeared. These eyes where unlike any shes ever seen before in her life.
The eyes where full of hate and anger, more anger then she's seen in her whole life. A hand gripped her chin pulling her up and closer the face, a heavy smell of alcohol was lingering on this mans breath. She turned her eyes away and stared off to the right at nothing, this seemed to anger him. His grip got tighter and tighter on her chin until she stared at him again, he chuckled evilly. This man began to speak but in a different language and one that she could not place. The overwhelming feeling of fear took over as a sharp object was placed against her neck. His voice got louder and the object was pressed harder.
The evil chuckle was heard again as he said one last thing to her before moving the knife higher on her neck. Once the chuckle stopped he jerked it across her throat, but before he could finish she woke up. So many questions crossed her mind but right now she didn't want to remember that dream. Thats better said the done.
"What are-a you doing up?" Vanessa spun around to met honey brown orbs looking at her, Romano stood in the doorway of the kitchen.
"N-nothing, just had a bad dream is all" her eyes scanned his body, he was only in a pair of dark green sweat pants his chest was bare and showing. Where those abs she sees, their not big but big enough for you to know that he had some. Her face flashed a little pink turning around and taking another sip of her water.
"Don't stay up to late, stupid ragazza" he mumbled before turning around and leaving again, did he just call her stupid? She remembered Ludwig telling her that he can get mean at times and to just ignore it. Not wanting to let words get to her anymore she took a deep breath and let it out. Setting her cup to the side she flipped the light off and went back to her room to try and fall asleep again. It was only three something in the morning, way to early to be up.
Romano closed his door walking back to his bed sitting on it, he had heard someone walking in the hall. When he got downstairs the kitchen light was on and Vanessa was standing by the sink paler then normal. It looked like she saw a ghost or something, but it turned out to only be a nightmare she had. What kind of nightmare did she have to make her look so scared like that? What... why did he care what kind of nightmare it was? He didn't! He didn't care about the potato loving bastards sister at all, she part of his family and he didn't like them. Sighing to himself he turned around to lay down, looking to the side Italy was sound a sleep. He was way to tired to yell at his brother for sneaking into his room again, so he closed his eyes to sleep.
Morning broke throw the windows in the room waking up the blonde, it was six thirty in the morning. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes and walking to the bathroom she showered and brushed her teeth. After getting dressed she headed down stairs, no one seemed to be up just yet then again it was habit for her to get up so early. No matter how late she tried to sleep she was always up by at less seven if not six thirty. Since Italy had invited her to stay why not make them something to eat for when they got up. But what would she make for the three of them, for about three minutes she thought about it. Pancakes, eggs, and bacon sound about good right now maybe some toast with butter. She started to pull out things she needed, just as she sat the last plate onto the table the brothers walked in. Italy's face lit up as soon as he saw all the food on the table, as for Romano he still had that same pissed off looking face.
"Van this smells so good!" he chirped setting down at the table
"Vell good, I hope it taste just as good" everyone sat down and began to fill their plates with food, it didn't take long for everything to be gone. Italy ate the most out of the three, Vanessa couldn't really eat much since her stomach can't hold as much as it use to.
"I should-a get you to cook for us more often" he said rubbing his stomach, Vanessa giggled and thanked him for the complement. She loved to cook so it was no problem with her,
"Any time you vant me to just ask" she glanced over to the side at Romano he seemed a lot more quieter then what her brother said. He was looking down playing with a piece of egg, he looked a little distracted about something. Well, it was non of her business and she didn't want to get on his bad side. Cleaning up went by fast the table was cleaned, plates, pans, and counter all cleaned in about ten minutes. Growing up with Ludwig you learn to clean fast so you have time to yourself or for something else.
"That all done" she said to herself placing her hands on her hips looking around her, like always Italy didn't help at all. Running a hand throw her hair she decided it would be best to put it up while she was staying with them. It was to long and to thick for this kind of heat and humidity. Brushing it back and pulling it up into a neat bun Vanessa took a head band to keep her bangs out her face. She had been in her room for about fifteen minutes, when she walked down the stairs she hear voices from the living room. One was Romano's and the other was different thing Italy's but it sounded familiar to her. It almost sounded like..
"Toni!" she yelled as she stepped into the living room both men looked back a smile crossed the Spaniards face.
"Vanessa! Hola" he said standing up hugging the girl tightly
"What! You know that tomato freak!" Romano yelled at her she faced him and nodded
"Yea, he's friends with my brother and me, what are you doing here Toni?" the green eyed man let out a chuckle rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well I came to see how you where doing, and to make sure that Lovi didn't hurt your feelings"
"Lovi?"
"You idiot! I told-a you not to call me that!" Romano yelled standing up, his face was red with anger and his fist where clinched. Antonio just laughed and placed his hand onto of her head messing up her hair, he ignored Romano.
"My brother didn't happen to send you did he?" She asked her voice shifted into a little bit of annoyance, it was something she expected of him. Antonio's face turned from happy to nervous in a split second, he was hiding something.
"What, no, I came here on my own"
"That bastard! He did didn't he! I told him I'm a grown woman I can handle my self! I'm not a child anymore! I fought wars, people, and even wild animals! I think that I can handle myself by now!" She yelled crossing her arms and glaring over to the side of the room. She was gonna get him for this, all she wanted was to get away from all that for a few days but noooo~ Gilbert had to pull this shit.
"Calm down, chica, he just cares thats all" Romano stood back and watch the two talk he didn't even know she was capable of so much anger.
"I know he means vell, Toni, I do, but cant I have a normal veekend vith out his nose being stuck in everything I do?" all Antonio did was smile and hug her again, normally he only showed affection to Romano but he cared for Vanessa, she was like a little sister to him. Vanessa felt the same way, sometimes she would call him brother and call Gilbert a loser with no life.
"Alright well I should go and let you get back to your weekend" he turned to Romano and said something in Spanish to him.
"Sé bueno con ella Lovi que va a hacer un gran novia" what ever it was made Romano's face turn redder but not with anger this time. It was something else, embarrassment maybe? What could he have said to make this mans face turn so red, he didn't say anything but sat back down. Toni smiled at Romano then turned to Vanessa hugged her and left, leaving them alone together. Now that she realized it Italy was no where to be heard, or seen, did he leave before she got downstairs. Romano's face was still bright red as he looked at everything but Vanessa.
"Vhy does he call you Lovi?" Romano angrily sighed but answered her questioned anyway
"Because-a the tomato bastard doesn't know now to-a say my full name, it's Lovino not Lovi" Vanessa walked over and sat down on the same couch, but with a set between them.
"But, Lovi, sounds cuter" she cooed the tint in his face grew his eyes made contact with the floor.
"Don't-a call me that" he spat out in a whisper, she let out a small giggle and moved closer to him
"Come on, its not that bad, I like it" his eyes still wouldn't make eye contact with hers, and his face was still bright red. She pushed out her bottom lip crossing her arms over her chest, crossing her legs, she would win this one way or another. Finally he looked up brown eyes meting red ones, he could feel a small smirk tugging at the end of his lips, but he didn't smirk. She looked so childish and adorable sitting there like that... what... did he really just think that. What was going on with him? Turning to her he crossed over his chest and stared straight into her eyes like a staring contest. Nether one of them moved from that position for about an hour, both determent to win this little battle.
Italy opened the front door closing it to the sound of nothing, he wasn't sure if it was good or bad. His first thought was to go and check the bed rooms so thats what he did, but found nothing. So next he was going to check the kitchen half way there he looked into the living room and stopped. There sat both Vanessa and Romano arms crossed and eyes locked, nether speaking. He walked in and stood before them but they didn't say a word, Feliciano started to get worried a little.
"Um, guys, what are you doing?" he asked waving his hands back and forth trying to get their attention, but failing at it. Feli could only image what the two where fighting about to make them like this, and frankly he didn't wanna know. It was normally never a good thing with his brother, hopefully this was the exception. He frowned and kneeled down beside them and looked from one to the other. Nether one of them looked like they where gonna move anytime soon. A growl came from the italian stomach causing Vanessa to smirk at him, he frowned. He let out a long and loud sigh turning his head to face his brother
"Fine... you can call me, Lovi" he said she jumped up rising her fist in victory and jogged around in circles like an idiot. The only reason he gave up was from hunger and because he had to go to the bathroom. It didn't matter to Vanessa she had one, most people couldn't argue with her for that long. Not even Ludwig could be in a staring war with her for that long before giving in. Now a days he just avoid her gaze so he wont be tempted to give into her.
"Good now that thats over with how about we eat!" Feliciano beamed, it seemed like thats all he knew how to do was eat, if only he could fight as good as he could eat.
