So, I'm-a sure you know about the immortality of us countries. We don't-a grow old, we don't-a change. Other then the fact we can change from once we are-a created.

So, when I grew up and finally reached my 'adult' years as the mortals would call it, I found out about a feeling I haven't-a heard before in-a years.
Love. Sure I-a love my idiota brother. Sure I-a loved my Grandpa Rome. Sure I loved-a tomatoes.

But that's doesn't mean I-a love the Tomato Bastard!

It....wouldn't make-a any sense dammit! He has those-a stupid curls sticking out everywhere! Okay well....anyways!

Those stupid emerald eyes! That stupid smile!
Those-a stupid lips! I bet they-a taste like tomatoes the bastard!

IT'S NOT LIKE I-A AM PLANNING ON TASTING THEM, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!
Those-a stupid ears! Those stupid hands!
Those-a stupid...stupid....

Anyways!

I can't think about him anymore! He's my-a Guardian! Well, he can't age...No!
He's almost two hundred years-a older then me! He'd be a Pedo if he-a dated me!

I-I can't...

Feliciano might get the impression that dating the potato bastard would be-a okay. So, this-a wouldn't work, and besides, I don't-a even bat for that team! I don't have anything against it of course.

So, I'm sure you understand me,yes? Or maybe you don't...To tell you-a the truth, you're the only one who I can trust right now.
So, I guess, thanks for-a that.

I guess I should-a skip a few years. It was around Christmas time, and I never did forget about that birthday present he gave me...
So, I began to search all around the stupido country of Spain. I walked through the many streets, and looked all over for the-a perfect present. I found ceramic tomatoes, but he already had-a ten of those.

I found a few flags, but he already had over fifty around his room. I also found many clips to tame-a that stupido hair, but there wasn't any tomato ones!

Why is it-a so hard to shop for that bastard!He's an idiot! I wouldn't know what to get him even if I-a tried! I have no idea why I worried do much, it's not like he means anything to-a me. He doesn't mean a damn thing!
THEN WHY THE HELL IS HE-A ALWAYS ON MY-A DAMN MIND.

That stupido bastard! I hate him! So-a much!
It isn't...isn't...

Why.

~

Sorry about that stupido outburst. That was-a what I felt about him a long time ago. Anyways, back to the present searching. I had searched almost every single marketplace I could find in one of the villages of Spain, before I found the perfect store.

I headed inside quickly, and looked all around.
That was when I-a found the perfect present. I bought the item quickly, and had-a them wrap it in a big blue bow, and I headed back-a to our house. I m-mean, his house. I'm just a guest mind you.

I stuck the gift under the big tree we-a had, that was covered in tomato and pasta decorations. It was my-a most favourite Christmas tree.
Don't tell him that though. I wouldn't hear the end of it.

~

I remember being so-a excited on Christmas Eve, I would-a run up to the tree and gaze at it for a while, before heading back to my room.
Just to-a remind you, I would have been-a at least twenty to mortals. So, very childish in my opinion. But hell! It was-a Christmas!
I hardly slept a wink that night, before I jumped around excitedly before calming myself.

I am not like Feli at all! Anyways, I walked to tomato Bastard's room and knocked.

"Bastard? It's seven. You promised to-a wake up now." I said loudly and I heard him groan.

"Yes-a Yes, I'll be there in a bit Lovi..." He murmured and I heard him shift in his room.

I hurried to the tree and times him, as I-a always did on Christmas. He walked out in his tomato boxer shorts with a plain white t-shirt.
I looked away quickly and grabbed a present.

I rolled my eyes and handed it to the bastard, before digging under the tree for my own. I finally found one, and it was-a addressed to me from Feli.

I opened it quickly and grimaced. It was a large soccer ball, shaped tomato. I set it aside and began to unwrap others as well.

~

I got a book of stupido patience, (from that potato bastard Germany!), a cool cookbook for different kind of pastas from Austria, a complete collection of the Days of Romano, (and I teared up on that one a little), from Hungary, and some chocolates from Feli as well. I handed Spain his present carefully, and gulped nervously. I looked away and grabbed my present from him.

I unwrapped it carefully, almost the same way I did all those years ago. I gulped and stared down at the wooden box in my hands.
I opened the top and my own theme song for the start of Hetalia played as I-a saw the tiny tomato twist and twirl. I watched it, hypnotized for a few odd moments, before I looked over at Spain. He was happily grinning at me, and I did something I never did before.

Nor I will ever do again, mind you. I hugged him. It only lasted about ten seconds, before I pulled away and began to collect all the presents I got. He began to open his, and a gasp escaped from his lips and he bounced up and down in his seat.

I began to smile, only a little, before looking down.

"Lovi! It's amazing! Wow!" He said laughing as he held the large tomato iPad I found.

Don't ask. Let's just say I made a few arrangements. He hugged me, and I squirmed away.

"Don't-a touch me..." I muttered with a scared expression.

He rose an eyebrow.

"But you-a just hugged me!" He said as I shook my head angrily.

"No I-a didn't!" I said before grabbing everything and taking them to my room.

I went to my bed and sat on it for a few moments. Why do I-a always have to-a ruin everything...
