America's Crazy Ass States

Mission Get Mom A Boyfriend in Italy - Part 4

(Note: Another chapter, yay! Anywho, I only own my states that's it. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please tell me if I get anything wrong. This is the last part of Mission Get Mom A Boyfriend.  The next chapter in the main storyline will be the start of the romance. Although, it will be a slow burn because we are dealing with South Italy who doesn't know how to express his feelings. And America who is an oblivious idiot sometimes.)

Marcus, Arthur, and Penny were currently outside the Italy brothers' house. Penny had suggested hiding in the bushes but Arthur argued that they would look suspicious. So, they were sitting on a bench at least 10 feet from the house. 

Marcus was munching on some cookies while Arthur was reading a book and occasionally glancing at the house. 

Penny was petting Ham Marley, who was sitting next to her on a leash. The other two states were confused about how she was even allowed to bring the dog.

Arthur and Marcus jumped as the door to the house was slammed open. Penny, on the other hand, pulled up both her and Arthur's hood. 

Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw North Italy was dragging Germany downstairs while South Italy was shouting something about 'Potato Bastard' and 'Don't You Fucking Dare Get Touchy-feely'. The younger of the Italy brothers seemed to be ignoring the older, as he waved and bounced off with the German. 

The older nation grumbled and sat down on a bench. Penny nudged Marcus, who gave her a confused look. 

Penny rolled her eyes. "Me and Arthur can't talk to him, you have to." 

Marcus grumbled over his breath. 

Getting up, Marcus walked over to the nation. Sitting down next to him, the older man stiffened.

Taking a deep breath, Marcus turned to look at the nation. "Family problems?" 

South Italy sneered and turned away. "I don't know what you're talking about." 

Marcus rolled his eyes dramatically. Damn, this was going to be harder than he thought. 

"Isn't the brunette your brother? You looked pretty upset when he ignored you and went with the blonde." Marcus coaxed, trying to get the nation to open up. 

"I wasn't fucking upset!" The man denied loudly. 

"Then why are you pouting?" Marcus countered. 

South Italy stuttered incoherent words before huffing. "So what if I was pouting, brat?" 

It took all of Marcus's self-control to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Gosh, are all nations this dense? 

"Shouldn't you be happy that your brother's making friends?" 

The nation's expression turned sour. "That German is only trouble, my fratello can be very naive sometimes." 

Marcus smirked, hah got ya now. 

"Aww, that's so cute! You're just protective of him." The state cooed, clasping his hands together. 

South Italy blushed. "I-I'm not protective of him, he's just too stupid to look after himself!" 

Marcus gave him a look that said 'ya right'. The nation blushed harder and looked away. Marcus inwardly chuckled. The nation seemed like a good pick. Adding Mom into his protective circle could easily get most of the pressure off of North Italy. Making the protectiveness fairly equal. 

"Maybe you're just lonely." Marcus mentioned, smoothly. 

The older nation gave him a bewildered look. Or it could of been a  'what the fuck is going on in your empty head' look.......that was oddly specific.

The teen huffed. "Just think about it. Maybe you just need to have somebody else to pamper." 

The other man had a thoughtful expression. 

"I guess." He finally whispered. 

Uncomfortable silence overcame them. God damnit, why is this so awkward?

Marcus gulped, here he goes. 

 "Soooo, anyone you're interested in?" He asked, failing at being smooth and inconspicuous. Stop being so awkward, Marcus. 

 South Italy gave him a look before replying.

"There is this one guy. BUT, we're JUST friends. We've lived together and shit but there's nothing going on! Since he's too much of a fucking angel-I mean IDIOT! Yeah, too much of an idiot for me!." He rambled, blushing at his slip up. 

Marcus stared at the nation. Are all the nations this emotionally constipated or is it just this one? 

"God damn, you should hear yourself. You sound like a lovesick puppy who's still trying to deny their feelings. Just ask him on a date already, gosh!" Marcus snapped, he was fucking done with this bullshit. 

The nation glared at the teen. "I'm not a fucking lovesick puppy! He is not interested in me anyway. Even if I did ask him, he's too much of an oblivious bastard to realize I'm asking him out on a date." 

Marcus resisted the urge to bitch slap the nation. 

"Excuses, excuses! Just be forward, you moron! You'll never know if he's interested if you don't ask!" He growled. 

South Italy stood up. "I'm not a moron, I'll ask that fucking idiot!" 

With that, the nation stomped off. Marcus smirked, that was almost too easy. Although, he never wants to convince a nation of something if they're this emotionally constipated. 

Getting up from his seat, Marcus went back to Penny and Arthur. 

"Damn, that was a lot of yelling." Penny commented when Marcus sat down. 

"I swear if all the other nations are emotionally constipated then I don't want to meet them." Marcus huffed. 

Arthur and Penny snorted. 

"Welp, let's hope your yelling was enough." Arthur chimed in. 

"Shut up, let's get out of fucking town before I collapse." Marcus declared, pulling himself up and stretching. 

End of -Mission Get Mom A Boyfriend-

(This is a lot shorter than part 3. But part 3 was a date and was more complicated. Part 4 is just Marcus yelling at South Italy. 

Anyway, WHY IS THIS STORY #1 IN APHSTATES and #368 IN HETALIA!? Also, WHY DOES IT OVER 1600 VIEWS!? This story started out as a way for me to get out all of my ideas for the states. Never thought it would go this far,  I only thought my friend group might read it. I'm so new to this fandom. When I mean new, I mean that I found out about Hetalia during online school. 

Damn, this story has really helped with my writing. I've realized my problems with writing dialogue through this. This story is going to last for a long time as I have to finish the states and finish the storyline. After that, I going to write a prequel that starts from the moment America finds Virginia to 2016. Why 2016, well as said in my new bio.(Check that out because I put new shit about this story in there.) I fucking hate politics, the amount of false information about the 2016 elections hurt my head. I'm not even going to mention the shit that came out after the election and during this election. 

Other than that, thank you so much for reading and voting on this mess of a story. Louisiana is next!)
