Belgium... a beautiful young country who took care of Romano when I was gone, and who is taking care of me now... I think... I might be in love...

"Come on Spain! Lets go to the beach!" Her voice, so precious to me, like an angel calling my name.

"Alright! Just hold up a sec!" I say after her, going to my room getting my beach clothes on. I really like spending time with Belgium, but something's missing... oh, right, Romano... the smile on my face faded as I think about him. I miss Romano so badly that my chest hurts... I clasp my hand on my chest and take in deep breaths, how can I be so happy when the main reason why I was originally happy isn't even here!

"Hurry up Spain! We don't have all day!" She yelled to me, her voice sounding a bit impatient.

"C-coming!" I said rushing towards Belgium. "I'm ready, so let's get going!" I said rushing towards the car. Today I'm focusing on proposing to Belgium that I love her. I have no idea how she will reply to me though.

The car finally took off, the windows were down and the air hit my face making me smile. I've never been so happy than I am now. Not saying that being with romano was boring, but that he placed a lot of stress on me in the past; clutching my stomach involuntary, even if we had those good moments; that one chair. Belgium wanted it thrown away, but I refused, for some reason...

"You've been awfully quiet. What's wrong?" My smile faded a bit, I guess I'm no good in hiding emotions.

"Oh, well, I was just thinking about Roma that's all." I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly. Belgium slammed her foot on the brakes, I jerked forward and realized that we reached the parking lot to the beach.

"We're here darling!" She said through a forced smile. Did I offend her by mentioning Roma?

"Alright then!" I brush off my thoughts as I exit the car.

We prepare the beach towel and Sun umbrella. I lay on the towel and stare at the blue sky. I wish the ocean was the color of the sky, a bright blue. The thought of Roma came to mind, his small swimming shorts, his adorable smile that shined brighter than the sun above the hanging rocks, the curl that pokes out making it irresistible not to touch... his gorgeous olive green eyes, I learned to love Roma over the years, but when England came that one day to take me to prison, I felt, hurt...

My eyes shoot towards the ocean instantly, I mean I know it's nothing to be paranoid about, but I can't help but fear England to ride up on those waves and snatch me again, to torture me on his ship again.

I look at Belgium to calm my mind.

Belgium was in her bikini, the color and design of her flag. A lot of citizens came to the beach so we had to use our human names to address each other.

"Emma?" I ask, she props herself on her elbow and looks me in the eyes.

"Yes Toni?"

"Why do you hate Ro- I mean Lovino so much?" I look away, afraid of what she would say.

"Oh Toni, what on earth are you saying? I love Lovino, now I might get jealous because of your guys relationship before ours, but I love him with all my heart!" She let out a half hearted laugh before falling back onto the towel.

"I'm going to get refreshments..." I said getting up and leaving toward the drink bar.

I love Belgium, but I know when she's lying, even though I am a bit ditzy, I can still tell. I got random drinks unaware of the price and sat back down at our spot.

"Lets go swimming Antonio!" She said getting up instantly and grabbed my wrist, making me drop my drink. To be honest I've been afraid of the water ever since that day.

Belgium grabbed my arm and dragged me into the water, I tried to fight back but I was too baffled by her gorgeous face that I jumped in first dragging her down with me.

The water, so blue, so green, so... silent. I felt alive just floating on the current, Belgium's arms wrapped around my body as my head surfaced. Loud splashing sounds welcomed me, along with Belgium's voice.

"Antonio! God you scared the hell outta me!" She hugged my neck, I coughed up a little salt water. I didn't realize that I stayed below the surface until Belgium brought me back up.

"Thank you Belgium, but I was doing fine..." I looked out in the distant ocean and took in a deep sigh. "Lets go back to shore, I need to tell you something..."

We reached the shore and laid on the beach towel, letting the sun soak up the water. After a few minutes I looked over at the ice cream stand. A young boy was there, his hair was parted in a certain way, a small piece of hair stuck out. My eyes widened, the hair was an auburn color, and when he turned around his eyes were an olive green. It was no mistake that the hair that stuck out was a curl.

I jumped up and took one step forward before a delicate hand clasped mine.

"Where are you going? I thought you were going to tell me something..." I kept staring at the boy, he stared back and blushed a bit before turning around. I don't want to lose this one simple hope. I took a glance at Belgium.

"I need to get ice cream, I'll be back okay?" I said kneeling down to kiss her on the forehead. I got up and ran towards the car filled with sweets. I stopped infront of it and frantically searched. The boy was nowhere to be seen, had I imagined him?

My shoulders sulk as I walk back to Belgium.

"Where's the ice cream?" She asked sitting up. I sat back down and took in a deep breath.

"Sorry Belgium, I lied, I thought I saw Lovino that's why I went over there... I'm sorry, I know how much you dislike him."

"Well your not wrong about that, I do not like Lovino to the slightest. So I want you to forget about Lovino and stay with me!" She held my hands, her eyes shining, but I didn't like this shine.

"What!?" My eyes filled with rage, my heart raced with adrenaline. "Didn't you just say how much you love him!? And what do you mean you want me to forget about Lovino!?" I stood up, stepping back in anger and shock. Why would she ask such a thing from me!?

"Toni, your making a scene, please sit down..." I looked around frantically and noticed everyone's eyes plastered to me. I don't fucking care. This feeling of rage flowed through my veins. I couldn't control my mouth.

"WHAT DID LOVINO EVER DO TO YOU!? WAS THAT THE REASON WHY YOU WANTED LOVINO AND I TO SEPARATE IN THE FIRST PLACE!? HUH?! ARE YOU TRULY THAT SELFISH!? DAMN YOU! DONT EVER TALK ABOUT LOVI THAT WAY AGAIN!! AND DONT TALK TO ME EITHER, I WAS GOING TO SAY A REALLY SWEET THING TO YOU, BUT YOU ABOUT PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF!!" Belgium's eyes grew wide with terror, never before, has she seen this side of me, I never knew I had this side of me. But as soon as I said those words I regretted it instantly. I really should apologize, but my eyes had the word 'anger' etched in it, it felt like fire.

There's no turning back now.

"Just leave me alone..." I whisper under my breath before walking away, my bangs covering my eyes, preventing them from burning 'Die in hell' with my fire eyes on her forehead.

"Toni!" She grabbed my wrist to pull me back. I turned around raised my hand and connected my it to her face. A loud slap echoed in the air. She let go of me and held her face, her eyes watery, her body shook with fear. I felt super bad for striking her, but she deserved it.

"I said leave me alone..." I then walked away again, greatful that Belgium didn't grab me again.

I need to look for Romano, I mean it's only been a year since I gave him up, but I need to know where he's located, I know by now he's left Austria, because Austria told me he wanted 'to be independent and live on his own'... could that have possibly been Romano? The boy I saw at the ice cream cart? If so... he definitely grew up to be a fine boy, he was taller than I remembered, his curl lengthened, his eyes weren't as big and adorable.... it turns out that his body age changed into this, teenage-like look. I smiled to myself.

When I find Roma, I will chase him til he curses in Italian!
