The whole ride was nothing but silent, nether one of them spoke since they left the house. Vanessa had no idea where they where going or if this whole night would even be worth it. She had to adamant that she was pretty excited about being alone with Romano for a few hours. But, she had no idea if he felt the same way, but he probably didn't, it was like West said he has a thing for disliking German people. Her hand rose pushing her bangs out her eyes, from the corner of her eye she looked at his face. He seem concentrated on his driving, he didn't seem mad but he didn't see happy about the situation. A smile made its way across her face, he looked so cute when he was concentrating. She jumped a little when her phone vibrated in her pocket, Romano raised an eye brow at her. She half smiled and pulled it out, it was a text from Spain, she opened it and read it to her self.
A massive blush crossed her face as she stared at her phone, Romano noticed this and looked over at her.
"What-a is it?"
'Have fun tonight Van, but not to much fun ;3 -Toni' she shock her head, the car came to a stop since the light was red he turned to her in almost a glare. Her red eyes stared into Romano's honey brown ones, she couldn't help but look at them, they where so beautiful. He did not stop staring at her until the light changed again causing him to look back ahead on him. Vanessa sighed in leaning back all the way, she wanted to change the subject so that way she could forget about the whole thing. Her head tilted to the left as she opened her mouth to say something.
"So, Lovi," she started "where are we going anyways?" she asked but he did not answer he shock his head back at her "noooooo~ dont do this to me! Tell me!" as smirk grew on the older Italian's face. She continued to asked and bug but he didn't say a word, it was way to entertaining to him to just give up like that. Realizing that she wasn't going to get it out of him she ground, looked forward, and crossed her arms over her chest. It only caused the Italian to smirk even wider, Vanessa stuck out her bottom lip in a pouty way. That didn't last long because the car came to a stop, Romano opened the door and got out followed by Vanessa. She looked around, it was a park on the other side of the street where small shops and restaurants. She had to adamant that the place looked really pretty and the park was nice and not to crowded with people. Closing the door she made her way around the car to met up with Romano who was already starting to walk.
She jogged up and walked by his side, his hands here in his pockets and his eyes stayed in front of him.
"I thought we-a could walk around then-a get something to eat across the street, maybe get-a ice cream later" she nodded agreeing with him
"That sounds really nice... as long as you plan of talking to me that is"
"Why-a does everything involve talking with you? Damn" Vanessa glared up at the taller male, his eyes finally looked down at her.
"Because this is a date! We're supposed to get to know each other! How the hell can I get to know you if you stay silent the whole damn time?"
"Some-a one had a potty mouth" he commented
"Oh, your one to talk" they continued to walk for a few minutes nether one saying another word. It was starting to get on her nerves, she wanted to get to know him more, become better friends and maybe one day more then friends. There was no way she was gonna learn anything about him if he didn't talk and she didn't want to ask Italy about it. She made it her personal goal to get closer to him rather he like it or not. Vanessa always secretly admired all the couples that walked throw the park, it was something she never had. Being raised by your brothers doesn't her love life any, and with Prussia as a brother its even worse. As they walked several couples walked by laughing and holding hands, a few of them even kissed on the cheek.
All while Vanessa was looking around Romano was staring down at her, he watched as her eyes where glued to ever couple in the park. He always hated them, they had it all good while he was stuck with the bad side of things. They didn't have a little brother that everyone favored over them, or one that was always so annoying. They didn't have to hear their little brother talk about how much he loves his friends and stupid shit like that. No, they got to find love and be happy but not him no. Sure he was walking throw the park with Vanessa but she was a stupid potato lover, and he didn't like them. Or so thats what he told himself. Romano knew that he was developing feelings for the female german but didn't want to admit it to himself. He knew that as soon as his feelings got strong for her that his little brother would just come in and take her for himself. Thats how it always was and how it always will be.
Vanessa turned her attention back to man beside her, the look in his eyes saddened her he looked so sad. She looked around her finding a lake in the middle of the park, the sky was starting to change colors due to the setting sun. Right now everything just looked so beautiful and so peace full, whats better then sitting on a hill watching the sun. Vanessa reached out and grabbed his hand before pulling him to the right and towards the hill. Romano was jerked out of his thoughts by a hand grabbing his and pulling him to some place. A blush crossed his cheeks, and something weird was happening with his heart, it was beating really fast. Something like this has never happened before, this feeling he was getting was not like any of the others he's felt before.
Vanessa stopped about half way down and plopped down pulling Romano down with her.
"What the-a hell was that for!?"
"SHHH! I thought it vould be nice to vatch the sun set, zhe sky is really pretty and you look like you could use a nice relaxing moment"
"What-a are you trying to say?" she rolled her eyes and pushed him down so he was laying on his back, she joined him on the grass. There was only a inch of space left between the two, Vanessa didn't seem to notice and Romano's blush just grew. He looked over, from the corner of his eyes, at Vanessa who was just staring at the sky. The way the light hit her was just amazing, her hair stood out more and shinned better and her eyes looked almost pink. She looked so beautiful, so stunning, so... Romano shock his head clearing away all of those thoughts he couldn't and wouldn't thinks think such things. But he couldn't help it, what he didn't know was that she was thinking the same thing. Vanessa thought that the way the sun was made his eyes even more attractive and his hair shine more. A slight blush crossed her face and she turned her head, so that Romano wouldn't see. A few laughs could be heard from a few couples walking by, this caused the short german girl to sigh softly.
Romano looked over at her from the corner of his eyes, he watched as her gaze wondered around the park. The sun had almost finished setting and it started to get dark, the younger girl sat up slowly with a small smile. She looked down at Romano just as he snapped his head the other way, his face turing a light red color. She scooted closer to him raising an eyebrow, his face only got redder as she got closer.
"Why-a the hell are you getting so-a close to me for?!" He yelled she scooted away pulling her knees up to her chest,
"Your face was turning red, just vanted to make sure you vhere ok, that's all.." she said in an almost whispered like voice, Romano sat up and glared at her. Looking to the side she raised an eye brown at him,
"Vhat? Vhy are you looking at me like that?" she asked, he rolled his eyes and stood up brushing off the dirt on his pants with his hands. Vanessa slowly but surly got up doing the same thing, first her shirt then her shorts. Once she was sure all the dirt was gone she smiled to her self
"So, um, vhat now?" she asked looking up at him since he was taller, instead of saying anything he pointed to a small restaurant across the street. He began to walk not even bothering to wait for her, she jumped a little and hurried up after him. As they waited to cross the street a group of girls walking by pointed and giggled at Romano, some even gave him some flirty smiles. This, for some reason, made the blonde girl really mad, who the hell do they thing they where trying to flirt. Could they not see that he was on a date right now? She glared from the corner of her eyes, the light across the street showed that they could walk. She pushed off the side walk and started to make her way to the other side of the street with Romano walking behind her.
From little distance away a few screams broke out, causing both Vanessa and Romano to stop walking and turn that way. Vanessa's body froze and her eyes widened with such fear, there was nothing she could do to move. Head straight for her was a speeding car, showing no intention of slowing down, it was going to hit if she didn't move. The only problem was that she couldn't move, her body would not allow her to move out the way. She heard someone yelling her name the felt something warm wrap around her pushing her out the way. With out even realizing it she wrapped her arms around the warm person squeezing her eyes tightly. A minute later she snapped her eyes open and slowly lifted her head up to met honey brown eyes. Both of them had fear in their eyes and where breathing heavily.
Romano had one arm wrapped around her head so that way it didn't hit the concert sidewalk. The other arm was wrapped around her waist holding her close to him, a pink tint covered her face. Anger soon replaced the fear in his eyes,
"Idiota! Why-a the hell didn't you-a move! Did you want the fucking car to hit you!" He yelled, in all honesty she had no idea why her body didn't move. They both sat up now Romano still had his one arm wrapped around her waist, her breathing didn't slow down though. He was still cursing under his breath but only in Italian now, "pay-a attention next time or your-a gonna get us both killed! idiota ragazza." tears made their way into the corner of her eyes trying to fall but she wouldn't let them, not yet anyways. Romano continued to yell at her and call her an idiot, and thats when they finally started to fall. She couldn't take it anymore they started to fall and they fell hard, there was no stoping them once they started. She pushed his arm away from her before jumping up and running away from the Italian, she didn't know where she was going and didn't care all she wanted was away from him.
Romano watched as Vanessa ran away from him crying, he sat there on the ground for a few minutes. He was such an idiot! How could he of yelled at her like that after she almost got hit by a car. He was mentally beating himself up for it he couldn't help it though, why would she just freeze up like that. He pushed himself up off the ground and ran after her, she had no idea where she was and it was dangerous to be alone at night. Who knows what or who she'll run into, but he wasn't going to let her find out.
She had no clue where she was but it didn't bother her, she found a bench to sit on where no one was at to hear or see her cry. Once she sat down her true sobs began, why the hell did he have to yell at her like that. Why in the world did he have to be so mean and brutal to her, Italy was so nice and sweet but where did Romano go wrong. Yes in a way it was actually kind of hot, but not when he was yelling at her like that. She could see the anger, fear, and something else in his eyes, and it was her fault it was there. If she would of moved when that car was coming at her this could of been avoided and they could went on normally. She thought about calling Italy or Spain to come get her but decided that she wanted to be alone for a few. She sobbed loudly into her hands that rested on her knees, for some reason being yelled at made her cry. Not just any kind of yelling, she was use to it from training with her brothers, it was the kind of yelling that he had done.
Her tears lightened up a little, but she wasn't done just yet, once they slowed down more she sat up trying to regulate her breathing. From behind she could hear the sound of footsteps approaching, but ignored it, she didn't care at the moment. Vanessa continued to whip away the tears that had fallen as she felt the bench move under someones weight. Who ever it was sighed loudly, and she knew exactly who was sitting next to her.
"Listen, Vanessa" he started, it caught her attention that he actually said her name, "I-a shouldn't of yelled at you-a like that, um... -sigh- I-I'm sorry" his eyes connected with her red ones for a moment she didn't say anything. But then she shock her head and let out a sad laugh
"No, I deserved it, I don't know vhat the hell vas wrong vith me I should of be able to move out of the vay. But no. I froze up like a little baby, and put not only mine but your life in danger. I'm the one who should be sorry" more tears threatened to fall, if that was even possible. Romano's eyes soften as he scooted closer lifting her chin and whipping away her tears, this was a side that she didn't know he had.
"No, no one deserved to be yelled at like that" he pulled her close and hugged her it took a minute for things to click in her mind. She wrapped her arms around him and dug her face into his neck. Romano's face was as red as a tomato, it was then that he decided that he wasn't going to deny his feelings for the girl. To him she was beautiful in every way and he wanted nothing more then to keep her safe and happy. But he still didn't believe that she would ever like him like that, not when she was best friends with him little brother. He pulled back just a little to look her in the face "why dont we-a go get a pizza then see a movie before heading home-a?" she smiled and nodded, Romano stood up holding out his arm for her, she happily took in standing up before following the italian.
The rest of the night went pretty well, nether one of them brought up the whole almost dying situation. They got a pizza and talked for a little before heading for a movie threat, Vanessa still held onto the sleeve of his jacket. For about five minutes the two unlikely pair argued over what movie to go see, when they didn't agree she gave him the puppy dog eyes. It only took about three minutes for him to give into her, she smiled brightly at him before hugging his arm. His face turned red again as he paid for the tickets to see the conjuring, there was a reason she wanted to see it. (A/N: I saw the movie and almost peed my pants, but I loved the movie.) Not a lot of people where in the movie since it had been out for a few weeks now. They sat in the middle, while waiting for the movie the started they talked and argued about something. But everything was quite once the film started, a huge smile plastered the young blondes face.
During the jump scares Vanessa would cling to Romano as he did the same thing, and this is why she wanted to see the movie. Besides the fact that she loved scary movies, soon the movie ended and the pair left arm looped throw arm.
"Geez why-a the hell did I agree to-a see that!" Romano said in a normal voice for once, Vanessa giggled.
"You know you enjoyed that movie dont lie" she commented smiling up at him turning his face a deep shade of red, she thought it was cute when it happened. They walked down the street in complete silence, Romano pulled out his phone to cheek the time and noticed a message from Italy. He red the message to himself, it was in italian so even if Vanessa saw it she wouldn't understand it, which was good. His eyes widened and his red face turned almost purple,
'Have fun tonight Lovino, and remember! Italian's make the best lovers! -Feliciano' locking the screen he throw his phone back into his pockets and tried to forget about the message. The rest of the way back to the house was quite as well, but it was a comfortable kind of silence. Italy and Spain where sitting in the living room watching TV and waiting for the two to get back home. The door opened and the sound of foot steps made their way to the living room area. The two waiting males jumped up meeting Vanessa and Romano half way.
"Hey chica how was it?" Spain said pulling the shorter girl into a death grip hug, that Romano did not like he sent a glare to the Spaniard. Having seen so many of them Spain just ignored it
"It was good, I had a fun time" she said trying to free herself so she could breath, he finally let go and she took a deep breath. The man laughed and throw his arm over her shoulders,
"Glad you hear you didn't have a bad time" after talking for a few minuets she went up to her room and got changed into her pj's for the night. She looked at her phone and saw it had a missed call on it from her brothers. Picking it up she called them back, it was late but she didn't care, it was never to late to talk on the phone.
"Hallo?" Germany said throw the phone, his voice sounded like he had just been woken up
"Hey bruder" she said into the phone leaning back onto the bed
"Oh! Vanessa, I was trying to get a hold of you earlier, how are things?" he asked, on the other end she could hear Prussia asking her brother something but was ignored
"Yea, sorry about that! I was at a movie, things are going good, um" she was contemplating on weather or not to tell him about the whole car thing. Again she heard her big brother on the other end questioning who he was talking to, sleep drenched his voice.
"Zhat is good to hear, Prussia wouldn't leave me alone unless I called you and see how things vhere"
"I've only been gone a few hours and he's already starting zhis?"
"Yea, you know how he is, any vay get some sleep, good night Vanessa"
"Ja, good night Ludwig, good night Gilbert" they hung up the phone and she stood up walking over to put it on the charger over night. Walking back over to her bed she pulled the blankets back crawling in only to pull them back up to her face. As she started to drift off into a sleep the date played throw her mind, a small smile crossed her face as she fell into darkness.
