Romano glared at the older man as his brother’s eyes shined with tears and his lip quivered.

“If he acted his age, he’d be dead, idiot! Leave him alone!” he yelled, headbutting the Austrian’s knees. The man didn’t even shift his feet. He merely sighed an exasperated breath and turned to the man in the room.

“This one can be yours. The… Fiery one…” he said, gestured to the pouting boy. Italy’s tears cleared and he pulled his thumb from his mouth and stared up at Austria and the man curiously.

“Are you taking away big brother…?” he asked, looking to his brother. Romano scoffed.

“As if! I’m not going nowhere!” Hands on his hips, Romano glared up at the men. He also took a subconscious step towards his brother protectively. Austria rolled his eyes and went back to the other man.

“As I was saying, Spain, the boy is yours. Do with him as you wish… Just be careful. He’s but a child. And a lazy one at that,” he finished, shooting a glare at the taller child who stuck out his tongue. Spain knelt down to meet eyes with Romano.

“Buuuuhyoooo! You’re so cute~! You can come to my house and clean it and make it nice and tidy and I’ll teach you Spanish and you’ll help me out and call me Boss! Okay? You can do that! Call me boss!” he gushed, reaching out to pull the young nation into a hug. Romano screeched but Spain managed to catch him and hug him tightly. There wasn’t even room to struggle. 

“Let me go, dammit! Stop! Where are you taking me? Put me down! I can’t leave; I have to stay! FRATELLO!” Romano screamed through his sobs as Spain carried him from the room. Italy just watched with confused eyes and blank features. His thumb was back in his mouth and he was content as soon as Romano and Spain turned the corner.

“Ve~ I’m hungry!”
