Liechmano: Give It a Try

It was the end of yet another world meeting, and Switzerland sighed, feeling his frustration growing with the other nations. Really, most of them were several centuries old. He was almost certain that two-year-olds would be more mature than the nations.

"Are you alright?" Liechtenstein asked.

"I'm fine," Switzerland said. "Shall we go?"

"Um, can we wait for just a while longer?"

Switzerland arched his eyebrow, but remained seated. And it was a good thing, since one of the few nations that he could tolerate came to sit on the recently emptied seat next to Liechtenstein.

"You must have a lot of patience to deal with this bullshit," Romano remarked.

"I've had a lot of practice," Switzerland said. "And I'd appreciate it if you didn't swear in front of Lili."

Romano rolled his eyes, a small smile quirking his mouth.

"If she doesn't like it, she can say so herself," Romano said. "So tell me bella, does it bother you?"

"Not really," Liechtenstein said, a small smile on her face. "Your swearing is part of who you are. I wouldn't want to stop you being you."

Switzerland watched the exchange. He and Romano had been friends for years, and the Italian had also grown close to Liechtenstein. And in recent years, he noticed that the other two's exchanges were often borderline flirtatious. Not that Switzerland minded. He knew Romano well enough to know that he would never hurt Liechtenstein, and he would also not allow anyone else to hurt her either.

Romano sighed, shaking Switzerland out of his thoughts.

"Looks like fratello has started using the jazz hands to get my attention," Romano said. "I'll see you another time. Ciao."

"Ciao," Switzerland said, subconsciously slipping into Italian.

"Auf Wiedersehen," Liechtenstein said as Romano walked away.

Switzerland watched the Italian for a while before he rounded on his sister.

"Tell me something, Lili," Switzerland said. "Do you like Lovino?"

"Of course I like him," Liechtenstein said. "He's our friend, after all."

"Not what I mean. Are you in love with him?"

Her face immediately went red, and he had his answer.

"W-what makes you say that?" she asked.

Switzerland simply stared at her blankly, and she sighed in defeat.

"Maybe," she said. "But… I know that he doesn't like me back."

"Why do you say that? He's nice to you in a way that he isn't even towards me."

"But he's nice to all of the girls. And he flirts with the others too. I just… I'm just one of those girls to him."

"Are you sure about that? He's Italian. It's part of his nature to be flirtatious. But he comes to talk to you whenever there's a meeting, something that he doesn't do to other girls."

"We're just friends."

"Lili… Just give it a try."

Romano sighed as he walked away from Switzerland and Liechtenstein. He really liked Liechtenstein, but he was scared. Scared of rejection, and scared of Switzerland hating him for it. He didn't want to ruin his friendship with two people that not only tolerated him but also welcomed his presence.

Sure, he would flirt with girls all the time, mostly to give the girls a confidence boost, but he had never really been serious about it.

Except with Liechtenstein.

The next world meeting, Liechtenstein took a deep breath before she went to find her friend. She wanted to speak to him now, otherwise she knew she would lose her nerve.

She found him with Spain, yelling at the other to leave him alone.

"Um, Lovino?" Liechtenstein asked, her voice small.

Romano immediately turned away from Spain to face her, scowl being replaced by a friendly smile.

"Si, Lili?" Romano asked.

"Um… I was wondering… if… maybe… you would like to have… lunch… with me?"

Romano looked completely surprised, and in the background they could hear Spain cooing about how cute this was.

"Um…" Romano said at last, his face reddening slightly. "I… sure. Si. I'll join you."

Liechtenstein smiled in relief and went to join her brother, who was smiling fondly.

"I told you to give it a try," Switzerland said.

So, the prompt was: 'Romano is good friends with Switzerland and Liechtenstein. He happens to have a crush on Liechtenstein, but is shy to admit it. While, Liechtenstein also has a similar crush on him, but doesn't feel confident on telling, because he's nice to girls and flirts with them. She feels that she's not good enough for him and just one of those girls that he's nice to. Switzerland knows about it and tells her to give it a try.'
