Hetalia x Reader - Gold Medal Series 2012: Football/Soccer
It was down to the final minute as Team Spain tried to score against Team Italy. Spain was the favorite to win, but then again, they did lose the qualifying round to Japan. Maybe, Team Italia had a chance!
Goalkeeper Lovino Vargas seemed to think so. He had been doing well keeping the black and white ball away from their goal. Dives, catches, kicks. Lovino did it all to ensure Team Italy a chance to win against them using strategies.
Spain had earned a penalty kick, unfortunately. The one to kick? Only Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, a man known to never miss a penalty shot, and if he did, he was sure to rebound.
Lovino wiped the sweat from his forehead then crept to the right. He knew that Carriedo's strategy was to shoot the ball into one of the corners in the direction opposite of the goalie's, and he was going to use it against the Spaniard.
Carriedo did as the Italian predicted. Lovino dove to the right, blocking the ball, but Carriedo's reputation didn't fail him. He got the rebound shot. Lovino had missed. He couldn't get up fast enough and was few seconds too late.
The game still had twenty seconds though! If the mid-fielders could get the ball from Team Spain, they could get it to the forwards or the striker and possibly score! Lovino knew that was a chance! Team Italy could tie with Team Spain! The ball just had to get to his brother!
The Spaniards knew that too. They kept the ball away from the Italians and ran down the field. Lovino knew he would have to be ready to block the incoming ball.
Team Spain had kicked toward the goal. Lovino dove, and he missed. Team Spain had won.
You sighed as you looked to the Italian goalkeeper. Frustration had claimed every inch of his face. You slowly made your way down to the opening for Olympians and their families to find two brothers with distinctive curls.
"Lovi!" you smiled.
"Ciao, bella," he said glumly.
"You're still a gold medalist to me."
"And you, bella," he smiled, "are worth more than any medal."
