~Romano~

I was so pissed I couldn't see straight. What the hell was that blonde asshole doing?! Anya was my... Well... I didn't exactly know what she was to me. I had to mean something to her right? After all we-

"GRRRRAAAAAAHHH!" I screamed and punched the wall in my room. I hated that guy so much and I'd never even talked to him until now. I'd seen him in the UN meetings, but he would only seem to talk to Denmark and Finland. He always hid in the back and kept his head down. Was that because of Anya?

Tina came running in with a worried look on her face. Which quickly turned to a frown when she saw me. "Just what in the world are you doing? You could've put a hole in the wall! I thought for sure someone had gotten into the castle and attacked you," she colded me like the mother she was.

"Tch. Tina, I don't want to talk right now. Everything is fine; no one attacked me."

"No, but clearly you have issues with that wall."

I crossed my arms and turned my back to her. She wasn't my friend. Why should I talk to her. This whole thing was stupid. Anya and I could figure it out on our own.

"Ah. I think I know why you're so grouchy~" she sang, "You're worried about Anya being alone with Lukas!"

I felt my face grow red all the way to the tips of my ears. "Who cares? It's not like she's my girlfriend or anything." She was not improving my mood. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? Women. I turned back around and looked her in the eyes. Apparently she took the hint, rolled her eyes and walked to the door.

"She's had a huge crush on you for a really long time. If you want to be a goddamn pussy and let a gorgeous blond man take your place, then stay here and pout. I'm going to go help my best friend." And she sauntered away.

And damn it I knew she was right. At least about letting Lukas take my place. I had no idea Anya had had a crush on me. Taking a deep breath, I decided that I was going to go help Berwald train the kids. It'd give me time to think.

~Anya~

I had bookmarked about ten-zillion pages with potential leads when Tina walked in. She hadn't made a noise, but I felt her familiar aura across the table.

"Hello, syestra. What can I do for you?" I aksed tiredly. She smiled at me and sat on the table.

"Oh nothing. i just wanted to talk. Ya know, like we used to."

"Heehee. I remember staying over at each others houses and goofing around all night."

"That was the best! Speaking of staying up all night..."

I shot her a glare, "What?"

"I called you the other day and asked you to watch Sealand. I didn't really want to talk to you about him."

"Where is that little booger anyway?" I said trying to change the subject. I had a feeling I knew what she was going to ask. I didn't know how she knew, but I was hoping I could BS my way out of it.

"With Taiwan. Don't even try to escape my questioning. I was keeping an eye on you like Lukas asked. I saw you and Romano."

It wasn't a question. I couldn't believe it! Oh god... what if she told Noru?!

"Tina... I... We got a little carried away. I wish I hadn't. I mean, I really really like him, but... you know," I was trying to find a way out but I was failing. She sighed and shook her head.

"I wanted you two to get to know each other and stuff. I knew you had a huge thing for him, but DANG. A little too quick, I should think."

"Yeah... I know," I hung my head and groaned, "I don't know, Finny. I saw Noru and memories and feelings came back. The ones I told you about that I try to not remember. But, then there's Romano."

She started petting my head and told me to keep talking; that I'd figure it out and she was there to help. I'd missed her so so much. I hated how I'd pulled away from her and left her. It wasn't fair of me. She cared about me so much and I'd kept telling myself she didn't. So, I kept on talking about how stupid things were right then.

"Someone's trying to kill me and I'm worried about guys. I'm such an idiot! No one in their right mind would friggin care about that right now! Then again, when have I ever been in my right mind?"

She laughed at that, "Never. You've always been in your left mind."

"Hardee har har. You're sooo funny."

"Oh, you know you love me, Roshia."

"Of course. But, seriously. What the actual fuck?"

I told her about what Lukas said to me earlier and about mine and Romano's past. She just sat there listening and commented something every once in a while. So patient. Like nothing had ever happened. You don't deserve her as a friend. You abandoned her. She'll take revenge on you. I pushed the voice back yet again and kept talking with Tina. It felt great to be like that again.

Hours had passed by and we were still laughing when Lukas walked in.

"Making good progress I see," he said with a smile.

Tina and I waved to him and I started to laugh. It was a fullhearted and completely real laugh. I hadn't felt one of those in a while. My best friends in the world were here and I didn't feel as much weight on my shoulders as usual. I let thoughts of my Brotherhood and Templars and death slip to the back of my mind.

"Well of course we are!" I said linking my arm through Tina's, "Because we're awesome and we can do anything we want!" Tina raised an eyebrow in surprise at my light-hearted tone. As did Lukas.

"Noru. We have to relax some time. Why not now? I've read so many books today that I feel like my head is going to explode! No more doom and gloom for a while, huh?"

Lukas nodded his head in agreement, "If you don't have a little fun once in a while and only work, life isn't worth much."

"Let's go to the city!" Tina shouted excitedly. She always liked seeing things at night as long as she had people with her.

"It's set then. We'll all go. All five of us," Lukas decided with a mischevious smile.

I had a bad feeling about this.

Later on That Night

Tina waited by my door as I was deciding what to waer. And by waited I mean excitedly bounced up and down. He looked like a cute little girl with her hair in curly pigtails. Her dress made her look like a princess too. It was lavender with white at the top. The bottom poofed out around her knees.

"Calm down Tinkerbell. You might mess up your hair. And I worked damn hard on it too!" I teased her. She shot me a glare but it melted into a grin.

"I'm just excited! I get to go on a date with my Su-san again!" She was practically singing.

I giggled and fixed my dress again. It was a little black dress with a corset top. I didn't think it was long enough, but Tina insisted that it just felt that way because it was 'straight cut instead of a princess dress'. Whatever that meant. I just felt like it was squeezing my ass a little too much. To add to it... it was strapless.

"Are you sure about this one...?" I asked her for the hundredth time. She sighed in exasperation and gave me a look that said 'Are-you-really-friggin-asking-me-that-if-you-do-it-again-I'm-gonna-slap-you.'

I sighed and played with my hair. Liker hers it was curled. However, mine was a lot longer. Tina's looked super cute though. I was kind of jealous. Why couldn't I look as cute as her? She didn't realize how many guys looked at her. Luckily Berwald wasn't the jealous type. He just silently puffed his peacock feathers and strutted next to her. So adorable.

We locked arms, looked at each other and nodded. We looked good and no one was going to make us think any differently. "Fuck yeah!" we yelled and left my room.

Ironically the guys weren't ready yet. Romano was still getting dressed, Lukas couldn't find his 'good vest', and Berwald was having trouble finding his shoes. And they said we took forever. Oh please. At least we weren't waiting on Francis.

Finally they came out to the courtyard. all at the same time, I might add. The look on their faces was priceless though. I mean, they all looked good. Hell, they looked sexy; even Berwald. However, Romano out did them all. Grey slacks, black shirt, and a black vest over it, plus he was still pouting a little. Wow.

Berwald was the first to move. He walked over and kissed Tina on the forehead, "You look beautiful as ever, sweet one." She smiled gleefully and hugged him. Again. So freaking adorable! Could they get any more grossly cute?

Lukas walked over and kissed my hand sweetly.

"You're stunning. I didn't think it possible for you to be even more beautiful."

Romano walked over and put his arm around my waist, "Shows what you know. She gets more and more beautiful every day."

Tina glanced my way and rolled her eyes, "Are we done with the measuring of whose balls are bigger? Can we go have fun now?" Romano and Lukas both looked at the ground and blushed. Well then. This was going to be a basket full of fun. What the hell was I going to do now? This whole thing was getting plain stupid. No, it was already stupid. Now it was bizarre as shit.

We ended up at a really nice bar. It was way more fancy than places I would've gone to. I guess we did dress for the occasion. We talked and had a few drinks while the house band played something jazzy. It was a bit boring to be honest. But, it was Noru's pick. He loved this place. However, one of the patrons walked over to the band and grabbed a mic.

"Ah, here's my favorite part of the night. It's not really karaoke, but whoever wants to can get up and sing. This is also when people start getting up to dance," Lukas told us with a sly grin. I wasn't sure if he'd had one to many drinks or if he was plotting something. I had a feeling it was the latter. I may not have been around him in a while, but gut instinct doesn't lie.

The guy who'd gotten up began to sing soem country song that made Tina squeal. Berwald stood and offered a hand so they could dance.

'Baby why don't we just turn that TV off. 315 chanels of nothin but bad news on. Well, it might be me, but the way I see it, the whole wide world has gone crazy. So baby, why don't we just dance?'

I swayed in my seat a little, watching coouples get up and dance. Lukas was sipping his drink and watching the people too. Romano held my hand lightly as he looked at the table.

"Do you want to dance?" he asked me. It was quiet, but just loud enough for no one else to hear but me.

"I don't really like country music. Maybe the next one? I promise I'll dance with you!" I said happily. I'd had fun the last time we danced. It ended badly, but it was still a dance. I leaned my head on his shoulder and waited for Tina and Berwald to stop dancing.

As the song ended, Romano stroked my cheek and excused himself, "Forgive me, lovely Anya, but I must get up."

I was a little startled but let him go. I didn't expect him to walk over and stand in front of the microphone. What in the world was he doing? I heard a few girls 'ooh' and giggle. One even commented on how hot Romano looked. Tina caught me frowning, "Syestra, calm down. You know he doesn't care about any of them."

Romano cleared his throat and began to speak, "This is for a special woman... one who is dear to my heart... It is called 'They Chatter About Me'." He seemed a little nervous as the music began to play.

"Dicono di me che sono un bastardo bugiardo e lo fanno senza un perche. Dicono di me che sono una strega drigata e truccata e piena di se..."

I did my best to understand the words as he sang them.

'They chatter about me , saying I am a bastard liar and they do it without any reason. They chatter about me saying I am a junky and made-up witch and full of myself..'

The song was strange compared to my own, but as it went on, it was quite catchy. Romano's voice was amazing.

"Nessuno sa! Che avrei soltano l'amore per lei! Per lei, che ha il nome di un fiore. Per lei... Per lei!"

'Nobody knows! I would have only love for her! For her who is named after a flower. For her... For her!'

"Per lei, che e l'unica al mondo... Per lei! Ed ogni raggio di luna e per lei!"

'For her who is the one in the world.. For her! And every ray of moon is for her!'

Romano was singing his heart out by the end and Tina and I were up dancing like several others. Lukas and Berwald remained at the table watching us. And by the look of it, Lukas understood some Italian.

'He feels like he's being shown up. Here comes more testosterone.' I thought as Ic ontinued to dance to Romano's song. When he finished, everyone cheered loudly. A few even asked him to keep singing. He bowed politely and declined. One song had been more than enough for him.

Tina nudged me and whispered, "I'll try to keep Lukas busy for a minute. You try and romance with Romano." I gave her a look as she laughed and walked away.

Romano walked over to me and shyly grabbed my hands, "I hoped you liked it. I know you're not the best with Italian..."

I kissed him and smiled, "I understood enough of it, mio angelo."

His face turned a deep red as he tried to hide the grin that spread across his face. My happiness was short lived. Lukas spoke up a moment later, "That was sweet of you, Romano. A song for the Teddy Bear." I could see the challenge in his eyes. He didn't quite hate Romano... but Lukas wouldn't be sad if Romano got hit by a bus.

Romano was about to spit some comment back at him, buit Lukas kept on talking, "We should leave." The tone in his voice made it clear he had picked up on someone who was not our friend. Luckily Romano caught on to this. The fun was over. Back to business it was then.

Tina and Berwald joined us promptly at the door. "I knew it was too good to be true. I thought she was just another floozy interested in Lukas," Tina commented, "I hate being right all the time. It gets boring."

Just as she said that, a very large blond man stood up beside the Asian-looking woman in the purple dress. They looked familiar. In fact, I was pretty sure the woman was part of Yao's family. This was going to be a big problem.
