Belamano: Jealousy

Lovino grumbled to himself as he walked down the street. He didn't want to believe it. He couldn't believe it. But there had been too many people who said so.

His brothers had mentioned seeing Natalia, his girlfriend, with a guy after work. Antonio had also seen her, and had said that they looked to be too friendly. And Natalia wasn't one of the friendliest people in the world, something she had in common with Lovino. And even some of his colleagues had claimed to have seen them together. Multiple times, in fact.

Lovino didn't want to believe it. Which was why he went to see it for himself.

He arrived at Natalia's workplace, and he waited for a while. Eventually he caught sight of her, and he quietly followed after her. He hoped that she didn't run into anyone. That it was just a coincidence, or the others' imagination.

But soon enough, he saw a tall blond man approaching her with an easy smile. Lovino held onto the hope that she would flat out turn him down, only to watch her place a kiss on either of his cheeks. He felt horrified when he saw her easy posture as she spoke to him. Until now, Lovino was the only one who she spoke to so easily.

He examined the blond. He had piercing blue eyes and was quite intimidating. He was as tall as Natalia's brother, and thinking about how she had a crush on him when they were younger, Lovino began to suspect that she hadn't gotten over it. That she was still subconsciously trying to get together with her brother.

This wasn't the first time Lovino had been insecure about his height when it came to Natalia. He knew that she liked tall men, and he was still wondering why she picked him. But now he knew that she had returned to her old preference, and he felt like a toy to her.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore, and he emerged from his hiding spot, walking up to his girlfriend.

"Natalia!" he called out.

Natalia whipped around, her eyes cold and hard. Lovino flinched when he saw them. Once she realised that it was Lovino that called her, her expression softened.

"Lovino," she greeted. "This is a surprise."

Lovino ignored her, turning his attention to the tall stranger.

"Who's this?" he asked.

Natalia smirked.

"This is my brother-in-law, Ludwig," Natalia said. "He's married to Katyusha."

Lovino turned to her in surprise, and Ludwig cleared his throat, holding out his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Ludwig said.

Lovino hesitated for a moment, before accepting the German's hand.

"I think that's enough for today," Natalia said. "Same time tomorrow?"

"Ja," Ludwig said. "Thank you again for helping me with this, Natalia."

"No problem," she said.

Ludwig nodded towards Lovino before he left. Natalia then turned to the Italian with a smirk.

"Ludwig's hopeless," Natalia explained. "They've been married for almost a year, but he has no idea what to do for their anniversary. So he's been asking me to help him."

Lovino blushed at the misunderstanding, and Natalia chuckled.

"Were you jealous?" she asked.

"S-si," he admitted. "Seeing you with him… He's tall and scary, and he kind of reminds me of your brother, and…"

Lovino was silenced by Natalia placing her finger on his lips.

"You have nothing to worry about," she said. "I love you."

Lovino smiled, before he frowned.

"Aren't you mad that I got jealous?" he asked.

"Not at all," she said. "I'm quite flattered, actually. And if our positions were reversed, I'd do the exact same thing. Except… You wouldn't hear about it."

Lovino was a little confused by her words, but was distracted by her linking their arms together. He couldn't help but think that she had a bit of a tight grip.

"While you're here, why don't we go for ice-cream?" she asked, leading the way.

The prompt was: 'Person A, who is easily prone to jealousy, heard rumors and eventually caught (via stalking) Person B, his girlfriend, is hanging out with someone else the opposite gender of Person B, causing Person A to feel inferior to that guy who is extremely taller than him and looks very intimidating. Person A begins to feel betrayed by person B, and wonders if A is not good enough for B. When Person A approaches Person B and asks who that guy that B is hanging out with is, causing B to honestly explain that the guy is actually B's brother-in-law and is married to one of B's siblings, who intentionally bumps into B at the sidewalk while on the way home from work and B introduces A to the brother-in-law. After the guy left A and B, A feels embarassed for jumping into conclusions and explains about how he felt about B hanging out with a man that is not A or A's friends.'

And I had to slip in the fact that Belarus is a yandere. She really is flattered that Romano is jealous.

I actually have a Gerkraine on my list of requests, and as I was writing I realised that it fit the prompt. Doesn't mean that I won't write Gerkraine sometime.

And feel free to make more requests.
