Title: Balconies

Pairing: Spain x Romano, also known as my default pairing

Rating: Probably K plus to T

It's not fair, Romano thought with a sigh as he peeked through the curtains of his sliding glass door. It led onto a balcony, but that wasn't the unfair thing. The unfair thing was the occupant of the balcony across from Romano's. The balcony's were so close together that Romano could have jumped over the railings if he had wanted.

The was medium height, medium build- a bit on the thinner side, maybe, but Romano liked that -and had dark, chocolatey-brown curls and brilliant green eyes.

Eyes that were currently closed as he snoozed away the lazy Sunday afternoon. The sun shining down sent shadows across the man's face, and his eyelashes seemed to stand out, somehow, because of it.

Romano wanted to kiss those eyelashes. In fact, he wanted to kiss all of his neighbor, but at the moment it was mostly the eyelashes. And eyelids. And nose. And ears. And cheeks. And hair. And chin. And mouth- oh, how Romano wanted to kiss his mouth.

Romano felt a blush rise in his cheeks as the man stirred slightly in his sleep, his deck chair creaking under his weight. He let his billowy, see-through-white curtains fall back in place, then went to his kitchen to prepare a cup of tea to calm himself down.

An hour later Romano was once again pulling his curtains away from his window and peering outside at his sleeping neighbor. He sighed at the man's perfection, and then nearly screamed as he realized that the man's eyes were open and- and staring right at him.

Romano quickly let the curtains fall again, heart fluttering far too fast in his chest. He waited with bated breath to hear the man say something. All he heard was the creaking of the deck chair, and then the sliding door that led onto the man's own balcony opening and closing. Romano breathed a sigh of relief and slid down the wall. Hopefully the man hadn't seen him

Since the man was now gone, Romano figured it would be okay to go out onto his own balcony, sit on his own chair, enjoy his own sun. Well, technically they shared that sun, but if it shone of Romano then it was his, god dammit, and no one would convince him otherwise!

Romano sat in his comfortable chair with a sigh, leaning back and closing his eyes. He felt the sun begin to warm his skin and hair, and felt incredibly good.

The man's sliding door opened, then closed again. Romano bolted upright in his seat, eyes wide, and there- there he was. The man with the tauntingly green eyes.

"Hello!" he called cheerfully, waving at Romano. Romano felt his cheeks heat up from something other than the sun, but he forced his hand up and gave a small, awkward wave.

The man walked across his own balcony towards the nearly touching railings. "Nice afternoon, isn't it?"

"Yes," Romano agreed. He searched for something else, anything else, to say, just to keep the man smiling at him for longer, but nothing came to mind, so in the end he just averted his eyes and stared down at his hands.

He suddenly heard movement from the other balcony and looked up to see the man turning away, beginning to head back into his own apartment.

"No, wait!" called Romano quite suddenly, jolting up from his chair. The man turned, a surprised look on his face, but before he could say anything Romano had grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pressed his lips to the man's perfect ones. He let out a small sigh at the contact, then pulled away. The man stared at him with wide, beautiful green eyes.

"I'm sorry," Romano said. "but you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." Romano began to turn away, figuring the man would now call the police or something, but before he could even take a step forward strong, tan arms wrapped around his waist, lifting him over the nearly touching railings. He was suddenly turned around and then- and then the man kissed him, sweetly, gently, on the lips, and then on his nose and his cheeks and his eyelids.

"I'm sorry," the man said. "but you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

Romano smiled. "I think I do."

A/N Heh heh, so this is short as well, but I'm using it to make up for my other short updates! MWAHAHAHA! I'M SO EVIL!
