31Hello people! Sorry I've been gone for so long, it's just that...well, my school seems to like to cram our last days full of tests, projects, and activities, so I've been run ragged. But it's summer vacation now, hooray! :D
Aw, why don't more people ship female Spain and male Romano? It's so adorable when the semes are gender-bent! Too many people make the ukes the gender-bent ones, and that's...okay, but seme is better in my opinion (it's funnier this way).
A since Romano's a react-y guy, I decided to write something that most guys would overreact about anyways. LOL, Romano's gonna flip shit! :P
✾ The Delicious Tomato Lullaby ✾
✾ Surprise! ✾
When Spain had told Romano she had a "big surprise" for him, he really hadn't expected much. Her idea of a surprise was switching tampon brands, or using two tablespoons of salt in dinner instead of one like usual. Spain was just an excitable woman, and as a result, she got worked up over the tiniest things.
So, when he sat down across from her at the kitchen table, observing her bright and excited expression, the way she drummed her nails on the table, and the way she seemed almost breathless, he figured she must have at least gotten new silverware or something. After all, even Spain didn't get this excited over new tampons.
"Romano! I have such a big surprise for you!" she squealed, snatching his hands up in his and squeezing them. He tried to pull away from her, his cheeks flushing at her touch.
"L-let go of me! Just because...we're...close doesn't mean you have to touch me all the time!" he snapped, bowing his head to hide his blush. Spain giggled. Romano had seemed to get even more flustered around her ever since they had gone all the way.
"Oh, Romanito, don't be that way! This is a happy time!" giving in, she let go of his hands, but not before squeezing them once more. "You are going to love this surprise!"
"You think so? What's it this time? You got a new hairbrush? New toothpaste? The flowers out front blossomed?" Romano asked, narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms. Spain giggled again and tried to refrain from blurting it out.
"Nope! Guess again! Something better!"
"...it's not...not new tampons, is it? Because last time you said it was a great surprise, that's what it was! And that's not great for me, just for you!" Romano cleared his throat, suddenly embarrassed for speaking about such a...well, awkward topic.
He remembered when he had been little, when he had been cleaning the bathroom and had found one of those dreaded things in the bathroom, all bloody and scary looking. It wasn't a very fond memory; it was one full of panicking that Spain had been bleeding so much, crying for and to her, and then wanting to throw up after hearing about that lovely little thing that happened to young women.
"If it's tampons, don't even tell me. I don't want to hear about it."
"No!" she roared with laughter, clapping her hands together and then brushing her chocolate bangs out of her emerald eyes. "Come on Romano! If I said it was a great surprise, it's going to be a great surprise! Guess again!"
"If you're going to make me play the guessing game, at least give me a hint!"
Spain sighed and leaned back in her chair, a ghost of a smile lingering on her pale lips.
"A hint? Hmm...let's see..." a hand rummaged in her pocket for a few moments before she pulled out a narrow box and handed it to Romano. "There's a clue in this box!"
Romano took the package from her cautiously and shook it gently. Something rattled inside, and for a moment, he suspected it was a pen; the box shape and length suggested it, and it seemed heavy enough to be one. So...was it one?
"A pen? Is it a pen? Pencil? Marker?" Spain shrugged, a jovial twinkle in her eyes.
"I don't know. Maybe you should open it and see for yourself!" Romano rolled his eyes and gave in, tugging the small red ribbon off the top of the box and lifting the lid. Inside lay a small parcel wrapped in tissue paper. Romano glanced up at Spain, casting her a confused look.
"What the hell is this, anyways?" he asked, picking it up and beginning to peel away the paper slowly. Spain shrugged again, her heart beating faster and faster with each passing second. This was too exciting! She was going to pop!
The paper fell to the floor, revealing a small, white plastic stick. There was nothing on it, however. Romano stared at it blankly for a few moments before staring back up at Spain in utter confusion. This time, it was Spain's turn to roll her eyes.
"No, silly! Flip it over!" she laughed, leaning closer to him. Romano stared at her suspiciously before turning it over and looking at it once more.
It was immediately clear to him what it was; it was a pregnancy test. But, why had she given him a...wait, was that...a plus sign?! Didn't plus signs mean positive?! As in...positively pregnant?! His eyes widened and his mouth went dry before his eyes darted back to Spain's, prompting them for the truth. Finally, he found his voice again, and began to laugh.
"H-ha! Ha ha ha! You're...you're kidding, right?" he asked, starting to feel slightly sick. "This is some sort of joke, yeah?"
"Um...no. Why would I joke about something like this?" Spain asked, her smiling faltering. Was Romano unhappy about this?
"B-but," Romano dropped the test and clutched his head in his hands, trying to make sense of it all. "Whenever we d-did...that, we used a...well, you know, a condom! And those...well...this shouldn't happen w-with..." he looked up at her again, his eyes wide and his mouth open. "Holy shit, you're PREGNANT!"
"Sí!" she smiled, spreading her arms wide. "Surprise!" Romano's eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he fell to the floor in a dead faint, sprawling against the cool tile. "R-Romano!"
Romano is such a wimp, but that's why we love him.
LOL, I'd say that surprise worked, right? He was pretty surprised, after all.
