Found~Spamano

Chapter seventeen

After a long and quiet car ride, we arrived to Feli's house. I grabbed my suitcase and pulled it out from the trunk as Feliciano hurried to my side and looked around before grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the house.

He pushed me inside so quickly I tripped over the threshold and landed on my face.

"What the fuck Feli?!" I groaned out as I sat up and Feli quickly closed the door

"O-Oh! I'm-a sorry Fratello!" He said quickly and helped me stood up.

I shook him off and rubbed my head.

"There's-a something wrong with you Feli! And you-a hurt me in the process of this little charade!" I said exasperated and ticked at the same time.

"....I'm-a sorry Romano, I'll-a tell you what's wrong..." He said and looked down before going to the couch.

I followed him and sat beside him, wondering what he-a could be talking about. He sighed sadly and began.

"Master Austria and Miss Hungary
are-a getting married...." He muttered.

My eyes widened.

"REALLY?! That's-a great isn't it? We can be a country again! A full one! It'll be great-"

"Wait, Romano, I'm-a not done..." He said raising his hand, becoming even more serious then before.

I shut my mouth and slumped back, waiting for this-a stupido conversation to be-a over so we can discuss living together again.

"They...once they-a do, they'll-a set me free, but...at a cost." He continued.

I stopped him again and eagerly said we could pay anything for-a this.

"It's-a not money...they....they want the cost to be-a you." He said tearing up.

"Wait what? I-a don't understand." I said surprised.

"For my freedom, they....they don't want me to speak-a to you anymore. So...they want me-a to take all of Italy. So I-a can become North and South Italy as-a one." He said rubbing his eyes and hiccuping.

I sat there a bit, numb at first. My eyes stayed widened the entire time, horrible thoughts running through my-a head. '

What was-a going to happen to me? What was-a going to happen to Feli? If he's the powerful one...he-a could disappear like Grandpa Rome...,

What about Spain?'

The last-a thought took me so suddenly I gasped and burst into tears. I didn't push Feliciano off this time when he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. I had-a hugged back and cried into his shoulder like-a the big baby I am.

I was-a honestly feeling scared, wondering why this-a had to happen to me. I was freaking out when another hopeful thought popped into my mind.

"Did you a-agree to it?" I hiccuped out.

Feliciano was silent for a moment, adding to the damn tension that was growing already. Before, he finally opene his mouth.

"I-a didn't yet, I-a just needed to tell you first.." He trailed off.

I calmed myself down and breathed in.

"So-a no final decision yet?"

"No final decision yet!" He said happily and I hugged him tightly.

"Thank-a god."

Yet before I-a let myself relax and grab a tomato from Feli's fridge, another thought stupidly ran through my mind.

'If he-a didn't accept the offer now, does that mean my time is limited here?'

~

For the rest of-a the day, we had laid around the house, talking and laughing about the past. More idiotic thoughts ran through my head during these-a times of course.

'Will there be a future for me?' Or, 'Will I-a disappear and never see my brother again?' And finally, 'Who will miss me other then-a Feli?'

"What about-a Spain?" I heard Feliciano ask.

I jumped and looked around, becoming angry.

"What?! That tomato bastard? Huh?"

"You-a asked yourself something about Spain!" He announced.

I mentally slapped myself for letting a stupid thought like that slip.

"Nothing." I muttered and looked away.

"Romano? Are you-a thinking about what we talked about earlier today?" He asked worriedly.

I lied and said I hadn't, which of course wasn't true, just re-read the last few paragraphs of my 'amazing' thinking practices.

Feli nodded and continued on talking about whatever the hell he was talking about before. I rose my hand and he-a stopped finally.

"I-a need to take a walk." I mumbled.

"Oh! Okay! It'll-a be fun! I'll-a get our coats-"

"Just-a me Fratello. Just me..." I said smiling sadly.

He frowned but nodded.

"~Ve, alright..."

I stood up and walked towards the front door from the couch, before grabbing my coat and opening the door.

I took one last look at Feli and smiled before stepping out in the cold air and shutting the door behind me, preparing myself for a long hard walk.

"I'm-a ready to clear my mind." I said out loud as self confidence before strolling down the steps and towards the sidewalk.
