confessions

"Romano, why did you....?"

"I'm sorry. I, uh, I need to tell you something. It's not that important, and, well--"

"Like Hell it isn't important! What is this?" Ah, yes, something had actually happened. Lately, Romano had been at home alone, and he couldn't take it anymore.

So now they're here, in a hospital, Spain bent over the bed with tears in his eyes. "You tried to.... take your own life? Why? Of all things?"

"Spain, you idiot. I didn't try to kill myself," he confessed, "I was trying to fix myself."

"By setting yourself on fire?" he exclaimed, the droplets pouring down his face.

"I was burning my dead skin off," Romano said, "I didn't mean for it to spread like it did. Now get off of me, bastard."

"......Romano...."

Silence fell over them.

"Romano, I'm not gonna pretend that I don't realize it anymore."

He looked up.

"You do so much.... You regret so much, and you never smile in your eyes anymore."

Romano swallowed.

" 'She used to have sparkles in her eyes, but they fell in her throat and now she can't breathe.' Romano, I will shove my hand down your throat and personally snatch the stars out of there."

Romano didn't understand. "What?" he finally asked.

"I love you, Romano. I've seen enough people to know that you do, too. But, Romano, this isn't good for you. You're loving me too much. It's not safe for you to love someone when you hate yourself so," Spain said and broke his heart, "I won't like you in the same way for that reason. Love yourself, not me."

He got up and walked away.
